| | 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

Migration album
 $11.49    
Perhaps this is what a techno artist would create to incite monks to dance: innocent grooves, sacred texts. Until, there enters another breathy, sensual woman with sultry French talk. By now there's a compelling dance groove, which builds for a few minutes, then finally plateaus into a space filled with dripping sounds where the beat is kept afloat by the rhythmic panting of our seductress. Gradually this grows as more instruments are added, and she continues, this time in English, with "The Principles Of Lust." Finally the panting becomes erratic, the Monks sing backwards, and Enigma has another fan.

| | Ryan Farish Everlasting CD (2006)
Migration CD music
$14.59 
Ryan Farish is one of the most popular purveyors of easy listening electronica in the United States, even though most people don't know his name. Where most listeners have experienced Farish's music is on the Weather Channel, which features his compositions regularly during the Local on the 8's forecast, as well as on the intro to Storm Stories. As his name has risen in profile, his site on mp3.com has gotten a steadily increasing number of hits, and his debut album Beautiful ended up on Billboard's Top Ten chart for new age music. His third album finds him exploring more extensively the sounds of live instruments; Everlasting prominently features ...

| | Yanni In My Time CD (1993)
Migration CD music
$7.59 
After his wildly successful DARE TO DREAM album, the iconic New Age performer Yanni decided to rein in the dense, propulsive, synthesizer-heavy element of his music, opting for a more intimate, piano-led sound on 1993's IN MY TIME. The stylistic change certainly didn't hurt the Greek superstar's popularity; if anything, it increased his already-high profile, leading to the multi-platinum concert performance LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS.
IN MY TIME opens with the spare, delicate "In the Morning Light," establishing a beautifully hushed tone, with gentle piano lines gliding over light, subtle keyboard backing. "The End of August" takes on a fittingly warm, late-summer mood that's enhanced by the emotive violin playing of Endre Granat, while "Only a Memory" uses sensitive piano/keyboard interplay to conjure up nostalgia for bygone eras. ...

| | Wild Wild West: Great Film Themes CDs (2001)
Migration songs
$13.55 
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 epiphany, the BB Band knock out "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," B.J. Thomas sings "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" (a ...
| | Sam Champion Slow Rewind CD (2005)
Migration album
$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's a nice Americana vibe to the aptly titled Slow Rewind. Two ballads, "You Can't See the Stars in This Town" and "Texas Song," hint at 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 ...
