| | Aqualung Memory Man CD Aqualung Discography of CDs
(1 Customer Review)
For an artist who catapulted to popularity by having a song in a television advertisement for Volkswagon, Matt Hales (the primary creative force behind Aqualung) has a surprisingly rich and artistic sensibility, qualities that aren't usually ... Full Descriptionassociated with mainstream commercial music. Aqualung's previous releases revealed Hales's penchant for lovely, catchy songcraft, and MEMORY MAN, the artist's fifth release, certainly has those qualities as well--but there's something more here.
The album is richly detailed from start to finish, revealing layers of soundscapes over multiple listens. The complex arrangements help create a strong, heady atmosphere, one that is both mysterious and enticing. But none of this is at the expense of the tunes, which are among Hales's best, and range from compelling rock to quieter, singer-songwriter moments. In its synthesis of accessibility and complexity, MEMORY MAN amounts to a fine pop album.

Entertainment Weekly (p.68) - "Hales works admirably hard at selling his world: a place where girls are cast as fairytale heroines, boys are full of feelings, and pianos can totally rock out." -- Grade: B Uncut (p.81) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Hales' dramatic chord changes show a keen awareness for stadium filling dynamics..." Alternative Press (p.182) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his time around, Aqualung's sweetness is surprisingly easy to swallow."

Memory Man album
$11.19 Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling success of ...
| | Iron Maiden Flight 666: The Original Soundtrack CDs (2009)
Memory Man CD music
$15.64 The idea behind FLIGHT 666 was seemingly birthed from a WAYNE'S WORLD fantasy sequence: the mighty Iron Maiden would embark upon a world tour of exotic locales, transported to each venue in a custom 757 jet piloted by the band's lead singer, with scores of crew, journalists, and family members in tow. Surprisingly, the band not only pulled off the mind-boggling undertaking but delivered ...
| | Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963 - 1972) CDs (2009) 1963-1972; Box Set
Memory Man music CDs
$84.99 This eight-CD box set, with about one-third previously unreleased material, sparks the beginning of a promising series of Neil Young ARCHIVES, and serves as a document of the heady exploration and growth that the beloved artist undertook between the innocent early 1960s and the explosive early '70s. The first CD preserves some early solo demos and his work with his teenage band the Squires, a Duane Eddy-ish enterprise that made the best of Young's nascent signature guitar style--simple, effective, dramatic. ...
| | Dave Matthews Band Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King (w/DVD) CDs (2009) With DVD
Memory Man songs
$19.05 The first studio album since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore, BIG WHISKEY AND THE GROOGRUX KING finds the Dave Matthews Band none the worse for wear and collaborating with superstar producer Rob Cavallo (best known for his extensive work with Green Day). Cavallo's way with an aggressive riff is in evidence on "Shake Me Like a Monkey," a funky track vaguely reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," and the driving "Why I Am," which recalls the Knack's "My Sharona." Other songs, such as the groovy, polyrhythmic "Spaceman," find the band returning to classic jammy, chops-a-riffic DMB territory. Full of prominent hooks and snap-tight ensemble playing, BIG WHISKEY gave DMB fans another reason to rejoice.

Memory Man album

| | Rolling Stones Undercover CD (1983) Reissue; Remastered
Memory Man CD music
$11.16 Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering Studios).
Up until 1983's UNDERCOVER, it had been quite a long time since rock's reigning aristocracy made anything besides their status as such (and the rewards thereof) an album's theme. But with the exception of "She Was Hot," a lustful rocker that wouldn't have sounded out of place on SOME GIRLS, this year's Rolling Stones had something else on their minds. There's violence amidst the freaky reggae and soul of UNDERCOVER's grooves, a darkness unfelt on a Stones album since Altamont made them want to leave such devilish business behind.
With Afro-Cuban percussion and dub textures scattered throughout, UNDERCOVER sounds like a soundtrack to a bloody Caribbean coup d'etat. The machine-gun rattle of Linndrums on "Feel On Baby," the viciously dubbed-out guitars of the title track, and Jagger's reliance on sado-masochism as a central lyrical theme ("Tie You Up" and "Pretty Beat Up" being the most obvious examples) add to the notion that the Stones were reflecting a world gone wrong back upon its audience. But past its bleakness, UNDERCOVER is among ...
| | Jethro Tull Original Masters CD (1985)
Memory Man music CDs
$10.49 Anyone who owned a radio in the 1970s knows most of these songs by heart. A comprehensive retrospective of the career of Jethro Tull, this collection gathers the group's big hits and fan favorites, while also including early chestnuts that may not be familiar to listeners who weren't there the first time around. Showcasing an eight-year period during which the group rose to international prominence, ORIGINAL MASTERS includes at least one song from nearly every year of Tull's steady rise, from 1969's "Living in the Past" to the title track of 1977's SONGS FROM THE WOOD.
This is an ideal set for people who want to skim the cream off the top of the Tull songbook. All the essential songs are here--"Aqualung," "Locomotive Breath," "Bungle in the Jungle" "Skating Away," etc., but some of the other choices provide valuable historical perspective. Early songs such as the impassioned "Witch's Promise" from 1970's BENEFIT show off the unique sound Tull possessed before 1971's AQUALUNG transformed them into a monster rock band.
In the mid '80s, prog-rock made a comeback of sorts, with '70s superstars Yes and Genesis scoring hit albums and singles. While Jethro Tull didn't build on its '70s success in next decade as well as the aforementioned bands, Tull still retained a sizable following. In 1985, the band's third "best of" collection was issued, ORIGINAL MASTERS, which combined the best selections from its two greatest hits predecessors, 1976's M.U.: THE BEST OF JETHRO TULL and 1977's REPEAT: THE BEST OF JETHRO TULL, VOL. II.
Jethro Tull's earlier work is undoubtedly ...
| | Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde CD (1992)
Memory Man songs
$11.99 When the Pharcyde burst onto the scene in the summer of '92 with its brilliantly disconnected grab bag BIZARRE RIDE II THE PHARCYDE, it seemed at first an innocuously enjoyable, goofy if somewhat lightweight disc. However, it would swiftly become clear that there were deeper waters stirring within the Pharcyde's rhymes and rhythms, and that the group's style was unlike that of those who came before.
The main distinction came in the Pharcyde's ...
