Between The Buried And Me “Colors”

“Colors” is a continuous hour-long musical trek that, in my opinion, is truly a landmark album in the world of progressive metal. Not only did Between The Buried And Me manage to capture almost every element of the metal genre on this release but they even incorporated Ambient, Jazz,Country/Folk and even Polka. Yes, Polka.  Not very many acts can pull this off, yet BTBAM effortlessly crossed many musical boundaries on “Colors” with such fluidity & musicianship that it will be sure to influence many future fledgling bands.
One of the reasons that “Colors” remains to be one of my favorite albums is that BTBAM draw from their many influences without ever sounding like second rate copies. You can definitely hear the influence that bands such as Pink floyd, Rush, King Crimson and even Dream Theater have had on them.  They take the progressive sound that these groups have laid out before them and an build upon it by adding their own aggressive and extreme twist.

The Police “Synchronicity”

“It’s such a great album because each song is so different… “Synchronicity i” just makes you want to run at lightning speed. The beat is so infectious: you just go crazy. “Miss Gradenko” brings it down a step and has a cool rhythm. “Wrapped Around Your Finger” is this dreamlike state floating you on the sea of sting. Of course there’s no denying the hit, “Every Breath You Take”. It’s not only the smooth feel of the song, but the words. When Sting sings, “since you’ve gone i’ve been lost without a trace/ i dream at night i can only see your face,” you cringe because you’ve been there too. The album ends with the ghost-like “Tea in the Sahara” with Sting singing the phrase over and over. I believe it is teatime. What a classic! Too bad this was their last album together. Viva the Police!!!

Sunny & The Sunliners “Carino Nuevo”“

Carino Nuevo” by Sunny and the Sunliners takes me back to my childhood in Odessa, Texas circa early 1960’s.  Each song brings a rush of bittersweet memories.  Back then was truly a time of discovery, innocence, and respect.  I recall many friends and relatives (some long gone) on any track i drop the needle on (of course I’m playing the vinyl).  I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.  The proof is in the undying popularity of this timeless recording.  After so many decades it remains a top seller and always will.

Led Zeppelin “IV“

Led Zeppelin’s IV is one of my favorite albums of all time. It captures Led Zeppelin at the height of their career. Each song has received radio airplay throughout the years. The album features Robert Plant’s and Jimmy Page’s great song writing abilities as well as the band’s unbelievable musicianship. “Stairway to Heaven” is still one of the most requested songs in history. The album features the heavy side of the band with songs such as “Black dog” and “Rock and Roll” as well as the acoustic, soft side with “Going to California” and “The Battle of Evermore. -Mike

The Beatles “Rubber Soul“

Besides having the three best beatle ballads of all time (“Girl”, “Michelle”, & “In my Life”), it contains the best blend of non-hit beatle songs and was their first concept album

On September 9, 2009, after a nearly 22-year wait, digitally remastered versions of all of the Beatles studio albums will be released, a press release has confirmed. Each album will feature the track listings and artwork as it was originally released in the U.K. and come with expanded booklets including original and newly written liner notes and rare photos. For a limited time, each of the Fab Four’s 12 proper albums will be “embedded” with a brief documentary about its making. The rereleases will include the Beatles’ 12 studio albums and Magical Mystery Tour as well as Past Masters Vol. I and II, which will be packaged as one collection. All 14 discs will be available with DVDs of the documentaries in a stereo box set, and a set titled The Beatles in Mono featuring 10 discs will also be released.

A crew of engineers at London’s Abbey Road Studios have spent four years working on the remasters using new technology and vintage equipment, the press release says, in an effort to preserve “the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings” and ensure “the highest fidelity the catalog has seen since its original release.”

9/9/09 promises to be a huge day in Beatles lore, as it’s the same day The Beatles: Rock Band will hit stores. This weekend brought a bit of Beatles news, too, as Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reunited onstage at a New York benefit for David Lynch’s Transcendental Meditation foundation (see photos here). Preorders for the remasters are already popping up on Amazon.co.uk. Demand for Beatles remasters has steadily increased since 1987, when Capitol/EMI first released the Beatles’ discography on CD with what many audiophile fans deemed substandard sound quality compared to the original vinyl.

While it seems like other artists remaster their entire catalog every several years, Capitol/EMI have barely touched the Beatles’ discography since 1987, with the exception of 2004’s The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1 box set, which compiled and remastered the band’s first four American releases in stereo and mono formats. The soundtrack for the Beatles’ Love show also gave listeners a brief tease of how fantastic the band’s songs would sound if properly remastered.

The Beatles in Mono will include the 10 albums originally mixed for mono release, as well as two additional discs the press release says features similar songs to those on the Past Masters compilations. The mono versions of Help! and Rubber Soul will boast bonuses: the albums’ original 1965 stereo mixes, which have not been previously released on CD, per the press release. The mono collection, like the stereo one, will include all original inserts and label designs, and the CDs are designed as tiny vinyl replicas.

The press release didn’t include news regarding a possible deal with iTunes or another digital-music vendor to distribute the catalog digitally: “Discussions regarding the digital distribution of the catalog will continue. There is no further information available at this time,” the press release reads. Both Apple Corps. and Paul McCartney have expressed reluctance to release the Beatles’ music digitally until all the albums had been remastered.

Tempting as it may be, Twang cannot be classified as a thematic counterpart to 2008’s Troubadour, an album that followed through on its rugged journeyman title. Once the opening title track twangs out of view, the album quickly veers toward the comfortably weathered balladeering that Strait has made his stock in trade for the better part of three decades now, quick enough to suggest that Twang might be little more than another reliably steady Strait record. To be sure, this is recognizably within his comfort zone — as always, when you do it as well as he does, there’s no need to change — but beneath that supple exterior there are a few surprises, chief among them the re-emergence of Strait the songwriter. George hasn’t penned many songs since the early ’80s, when his son George “Bubba” Strait, Jr. was just a baby, but now that he’s a grown man Bubba has turned into a songwriter in his own right, coaxing his dad into composing three songs with him, including the terrific tear-in-my-beer single “Living for the Night” and the breezy lament “He’s Got That Something Special” (Bubba also pens the excellent Johnny Cash homage “Arkansas Dave” on his own). These are change-ups, not curveballs; Strait saved his twists for the end, when he slides into some “Hot Grease and Zydeco” or goes full-on Mariachi for the closer “El Rey.” It’s these little twists — the stylistic stretches and original tunes — that give Twang some serious character and make it more than just another sturdy Strait record.

Here’s George Strait on the new album…

Before she could utilize her talents for her own solo endeavors, R&B singer, vocal arranger, and songwriter Keri Hilson wrote a slew of songs, many of them chart-toppers, for several popular artists in the mid-2000s as part of the five-person production/songwriting team known as the Clutch. The dynamic songwriter was born in Decatur, GA, only a few miles outside of Atlanta. Addicted to TV talent shows like Star Search and Showtime at the Apollo, she was already plotting out her career in music at age 12. Even though her mother hired a piano teacher to encourage those talents, she mainly wanted to sing; therefore, Hilson converted those sessions into vocal lessons, accompanying the teacher on piano. In her mid- to late teens, her career jumped off as a songwriter and background vocalist, working under producer Anthony Dent (Destiny’s Child, Diddy). Born out of that relationship were two failed girl groups (named Pretty Toni and D’Sign) and, more importantly, a host of connections within the industry for whom she wrote or did backup vocals, including Usher, Ludacris, Kelly Rowland, Ciara, and up-and-coming Southern rap producer Polow da Don.
After Hilson graduated from high school, she managed to continue juggling all these tasks when she enrolled at Emory University in Atlanta. She eventually moved on from Dent and began working more with Polow da Don. Attending school while actively advancing her music career put a great demand on her, especially from being a member of the extremely versatile Clutch team. But as luck would have it, Polow introduced her to superproducer Timbaland, who wasted no time in signing the multi-talented songbird to his growing Mosley Music imprint in 2006. Over the next couple years, Hilson’s songwriting was practically ubiquitous, responsible for numerous hit singles, including Mary J. Blige’s “Take Me as I Am,” Omarion’s “Ice Box,” the Pussycat Dolls’ “Wait a Minute,” and Britney Spears’ “Gimme More.” She was also featured prominently on Timbaland Presents Shock Value, including the number three Billboard Hot 100 hit “The Way I Are.” With Timbaland and Polow in her corner, Hilson relied on the vast pool of recording artists and producers who needed (and wanted) to return the favor for her Mosley MusicInterscope debut. After a couple pre-release singles and numerous delays, In a Perfect World… was issued in March 2009, shortly after one of its tracks, “Turnin’ Me On,” had reached the Top 20 of the Hot 100.

I Am… Sasha Fierce is the third studio album by Beyoncé Knowles, first released on November 8, 2008 in Japan and later worldwide throughout November and December from record label Columbia Records. The album reached the top ten on thirty-two charts worldwide. It debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, making Knowles the second female R&B artist this decade to have her first three albums debut in the top spot, and has been certified double platinum by the RIAA, making it Knowles’ third consecutive number-one album.

The album has so far spawned four worldwide hits: “If I Were a Boy”, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”, “Halo” and “Sweet Dreams”, as well as the U.S. only singles “Diva” and “Ego”.

Check out Beyonce’s new music video for “Ego“, the fifth single off her latest album, I Am… Sasha Fierce

“My goal for the video is simplicity,” the 27-year-old singer told EW. “In ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’, I saw this old tape of Bob Fosse’s wife, and I used that as inspiration. I thought in this world, with all the technology and everything that’s going on, to strip everything down—great idea. So I kind of did the same thing, but glossy and black, for ‘Ego’.”

Willy DeVille, a singer and songwriter and the leader of the group Mink DeVille, whose adventurous forays into rhythm and blues, Cajun music and salsa made him one of the most original figures of the New York punk scene of the 1970s, died on Thursday in Manhattan. He was 58.

The cause was pancreatic cancer, said his publicist, Carol Kaye.

Mr. DeVille, a regular at CBGB in the mid-1970s, lent his bluesy voice and eclectic musical tastes to Mink DeVille, one of the club’s main draws. A disciplined songwriter with a deep admiration for the Atlantic Records sound of the Drifters and Ben E. King, he drew from many sources, including Latin music, French ballads, New Orleans funk and Cajun accordion music. He was, the critic Robert Palmer wrote in The New York Times in 1980, “idiomatic, in the broadest sense, and utterly original.”

Sky Blu and Redfoo of LMFAO may actually be having as much fun as they describe in their music, but there’s still little doubt they’re a comedy act. The liner notes for Party Rock do indeed include dancefloor polaroids of beautiful babes, but also plenty of shiny robots smiling for the camera. For their full-length debut, Party Rock, the dance hit “I’m in Miami Bitch” is firmly in place, and still sounding pretty hilarious as a satirical exposé of the hedonistic Winter Music Conference held every year. Sky Blu and Redfoo have almost as many laugh lines in their lyrics as the Lonely Island, even if their production aesthetic shows more than a little knowledge of Spank Rock. They’re solid producers overall, even if they run out of song ideas halfway through the album (no extra points for being able to predict the theme or lyrics of “What Happens at the Party” or “Leaving U 4 the Groove”). Pitched somewhere between a self-aware BrokeNCYDE and more sincere party rap (as crazy as that sounds), Party Rock is an indulgent record with plenty of fun and immaturity to keep you partying for days.

“Party Rock” available at All That Music & Video now!
