With their appealing jazz-funk fusion and proto-acid jazz jams, Roy Ayers Ubiquity had some winning moments in the 1970s. One of them, "Running Away," can be found on 1977's LIFELINE. A disco-infused dance hit, "Running Away" works a burbling ... Full Descriptiongroove that induces shimmying and shaking upon first listen. Some of that magic spills over into the other tracks on LIFELINE, though the album suffers some from dated production and concessions to the trends of the time. Even so, Ayer's tasteful vibes work keeps things cooking, as does the funky playing of his ensemble.Mojo (Publisher) (p.121) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'This Side Of Sunshine' is a gorgeous summer-vibed opener, while the propulsive, party groove, 'Cincinnati Growl' shows off Ayers' vibes prowess."

| | Chills Kaleidoscope World CD (1990) (Import) New Zealand
Lifeline CD music
$20.15
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just as many records.
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD showcases the shifting line-ups and many moods of the early to mid-'80s Chills. "Rolling Moon" captures a mood of shambling joy, its simple, repeated keyboard riff sounding like a distant caravan crossing New Zealand's big-sky country. "Pink Frost" is undoubtedly one of the Chills' two or three finest songs, an eerie tale of finding one's lover dead and being stricken with waves of icy panic. Phillipps's ghostly voice floats over glacial, plucked chords, its elegance and restraint only adding to the menace. "I Love My Leather Jacket" could have been written for the wake of "Pink Frost'"s dead lover. The Chills' pumped-up fuzz guitars and a celebratory chorus of "I love my leather jacket/I love my absent friend" turn a song of loss into an exultant romp.
Kaleidoscope World is the Chills' essential document, a collection of tracks from early and mid-'80s EPs, singles, and compilation cuts. The influence of Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd is stronger on these early tracks than it would be on subsequent releases, both on the easygoing sing along numbers and the more experimental outings. The highlight (of both the ...

| | Roy Ayers Ubiquity Vibrations CD (1976) Reissue; Remastered; Digipak
Lifeline CD music
$8.79
Originally released in 1976, VARIATIONS found Roy Ayers settling comfortably into the soul-funk grooves that would help establish him as a pioneer of the acid jazz and jazz-rap sound (Ayers became a legend in the `90s as a source for sampling jazzy, funky grooves). On VARIATIONS, Ayers turns further away from traditional bop-oriented jazz and more toward vocal R&B.
Crate diggers will appreciate the churning funk of "Higher" or "One Sweet Love to Remember" and the smooth R&B ballads like "Baby You Give Me a Feeling," but the highlights of this set are unquestionably the hit "Searchin'" and the funky, good-time title track. The technical playing, especially Ayers's cool-toned vibes, keeps the instrumental ...
