| | James Figurine Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake CD James Figurine Discography of CDs
On his initial solo outing as James Figurine, electronica artist Jimmy Tamborello--also known as Dntel, one half of the Postal Service, and one third of Figurine--unveils a collection of minimalist, groove-centric synth-pop tunes. MISTAKE, Tamborello's first major undertaking since the Postal Service's hugely popular GIVE UP, finds him scaling back the former album's catchy melodies in favor a more rhythmic, dance-floor-oriented sound, as revealed on the pulsing, cell-phoned-themed "55566688833." While numerous guests turn up, including Jenny Lewis, the record's standout track, "All the Way to China," features the easy-going vocals of Erlend Oye (Kings of Convenience), resulting in a sprightly tune that wouldn't sound out of place on one of Oye's own solo releases. Although it doesn't reach the great heights of Tamborello's Postal Service work, MISTAKE succeeds in mining an enjoyably grounded electro-vein.

CMJ (p.4) - "The record is Tamborello's most ambient, as he manipulates the ethereal voices of his guest vocalists so their glassy tones are gracefully woven into the mix..." Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake Music James Figurine Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake Songs | 1. | 55566688833 |

Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake
$13.29
Papas Fritas' brand of pop is charming, innocent, and drawn from classic sources as diverse as the Beach Boys, '70s AM radio, Fleetwood Mac, and classic U.S. indie pop. Well, maybe those aren't the most diverse sources, but the group takes them and creates a varied and invigorating sound. Tony Goddess and Shivika Asthana's open-hearted, artless vocals can't help but charm all but the most hard-hearted listeners, and the band's playing is always energetic and full of imagination. Pop Has Freed Us is a career summation that includes eight songs from their three LPs and one EP, as well as nine songs previously not found on any album. There are three tracks from 2000's excellent Buildings and Ground, two each from 1997's Helioself and 1995's Papas Fritas, and the title track from 1996's Passion Play EP. If you program the disc to play just the tracks taken from their records, you might just be stunned at what a consistently wonderful pop group the Fritas are; in fact, the best of these tracks compare well to any band from the '90s or 2000s that had the nerve to play simple pop music. "Passion Play" is a miniature epic brimming with passion and sporting a fittingly dramatic arrangement, "Holiday" is a bouncy, hooky romp, "The Way You Walk" is a sultry ballad that wouldn't sound out of place on Rumours, "Hey Hey You Say" is a song that will stick like glue in your head with it's flypaper chorus and insistent rhythm. Of the non-album tracks, "Do the Move" is the clear diamond in the rough; it bops and swings and sounds like what you wished the '70s sounded like. It is the kind of track that will have even ...

Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake
$9.59
Everybody who knows her personally and professionally knows that Paula has an unsaturated passion for both music and people. Her music speaks of love in all of its faces and facets, good or bad, right or wrong. Things people say, do and experience as a result thereof, is her key inspiration. She tells it like it is simply because in love, as in life, there are no shortcuts...She started her music career at the age of 5 by banging out notes on glasses of water filled at different levels. By the age of 10 she competed in Eisteddfods and proved she had a voice to be reckoned with when she won a silver diploma despite a severe laryngitis attack a few weeks before the competition.At 15 she suffered such severe damage to her vocal cords after another laryngitis attack that no one thought she would ever be able to sing again. But she wouldn't accept the inevitable. Without any professional training in music, she discovered the world of composing to be a worthy substitute. By the age of 30 she has composed enough ...

SHORTY&SLIM is a pleasing blend of Calypso, Reggae, and Caribbean sounds with a touch of Rock-n-Roll, and has best been described as “Canal Zone Folk Music”!! Conceived in a Gamboa living room in 1992 and later captured on 4 CD productions, (Life on Mango Street ‘95, Gone Platano ‘97, ‘Tird One ‘99, and Down to Panama ‘06) it is written all about Panama and the Canal Zone by Panamanian Zonians, and it’s the only musical production of its kind to truly capture the sights, sounds and experiences of living in or visiting the beautiful Paradise of Panama and the Canal Zone. It is Original, feel-good music that will make you laugh, cry and remember the days. TIRD ONE (Baysian pronunciation for "Third") is just that: Shorty&Slim's third release. It was recorded once again at nights and on long weekend sessions (Alex was working in Colon again) and amongst the moving boxes and mayhem that was the Seitz family's big move from Panama to Germany because the American Canal Zone was shutting down. Recorded in the most relaxing atmosphere of Evan Rodaniche's MasterBlaster Studio in Corozal Panama, the guys tried some new things on this CD with ladies background vocals ala-Bob Marley-style, and their first Spanish song "Me Voy!". Time constraints put a limit on the recording, however, but S&S were still able to put out a memorable CD. (The ...
