| | Shahrokh Yadegari Migration CD Shahrokh Yadegari Discography of CDs
This collaboration between violinist Keyavash Nouari and electronic musician Shahrokh Yadegari makes for fascinating listening. Nourai improvises in the Persian tradition. But these are structured, rather than completely free, extemporizations, in the mode of Avaz Esfahan. Yadegari uses a Lila, a computer/musical instrument that is controlled by the operator to give loop, delay, ring modulation and feedback. It samples and transforms what the violinist plays, then plays it back to the violinist to spur further improvisation. It's not a million miles from what Fripp & Eno were doing in the '70s, merely updated and with a different framework. There's some magnificent playing here, not in a bravura fashion, but thoughtfully, layer adding on layer to create something like a cathedral of beauty. It's not particularly linear, the final sound being a product of cut and paste, but these meditations (which is essentially what they are) pull the listener along through intricate webs of sound. A fascinating record. ~ Chris Nickson
This recording is a structured improvisation in the realm of Persian traditional music and electronic music. It's a mixture of virtuosic violin playing and highly complex live electronic processing. What has been attempted here is to produce a work in wh

Windham Hill's successful A Winter's Solstice series started during the label's first year in 1985, and has continued at roughly a new volume every two or three years, each installment containing a bright wintry blend of classical music, reimagined hymns, chiming carols, and atmospheric compositions that have since garnered the name new age. This two-disc set picks some of the best and brightest moments from the series' first eight volumes, including David Qualey's guitar arrangement of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," Liz Story's piano rendition of "Greensleeves," harpist Lisa Lynne's "Northern Lights," and guitarist W.G. Snuffy Walden's sad, ...

The delirious "Intro" sets the stage for what's to come: murky synth washes are gently led into the sunshine by the sudden magisterial arrival of the flamenco guitar. The title track is a rousing instrumental that fuses techno with samplings of the Irish traditional ballad, "She Moved through the Fair" (referred to as "Belfast Child"), with a haunting vocal over a mix of percussion elements, synthesizer pads, and more flamenco. (Imagine Gypsy Kings mixing an album with Deep Forest). The track appears twice more, ...

| | Wild Wild West: Great Film Themes CDs (2001) (Import) Netherlands
Migration
$14.29 
Although the 51 tracks on this mini-history of great Western film, radio, and TV themes would have fit onto two CDs, the producers deliberately spread the material out over three discs in a "Texas-sized' gesture as theatrical and exaggerated as the genre itself. Disc one is a tribute to classic cowboy flicks made between 1959 and 1968. These include Rio Bravo, The Magnificent Seven, Hang 'Em High, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and the epic Once Upon a Time in the West. Disc two opens with a stylistic anomaly: the compilers chose the hip-hop theme from the 1999 blockbuster film Wild Wild West rather than the original music from the television series of the '60s. Disc two crawls backwards through various Westerns of the 1990s -- Maverick, Unforgiven, and Dances with Wolves -- then skirts the 1980s altogether, plunging back into the '70s with a trippy Moog synthesizer workout from My Name Is Nobody. This chronologically inverted portion of the package ends with two masterworks from 1957: The 3:10 to Yuma and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Disc three is a panorama of historical performances. The theme music from Shane comes across like some sort of hormonal ...
| | Sam Champion Slow Rewind CD (2005)
Migration
$10.69
New York's Sam Champion love Pavement. Named for either a local weatherman or a character from the 1974 TV drama Murder of Mercy, the midtempo-obsessed quartet sounds more like a smart-ass version of Eleventh Dream Day than the band's more obvious heroes. Frontman Noah Chernin's Stephen Malkmus/Lou Reed-inspired drawl allows lyrics like "I am aggressively lazy" to descend out of his mouth like a drunk on a high dive, occasionally screaming for effect -- it's derivative, but likable. There would be a nice Americana vibe to the aptly titled Slow Rewind if the fuzzed-out guitars ever changed their tone -- they're muddy even when clean. Two ballads, "You Can't See the Stars in This Town" and "Texas Song," hint at that sunset beauty but are eclipsed by the fact that if listeners aren't already asleep by the time the songs arrive, they'll have no choice but to submit to sweet darkness within three measures. Sam Champion don't suck, but they need to either switch on or switch off. ~ James Christopher Monger
