Krystian Zimerman’s Chopin is big. He plays this music with a great dynamic range and huge contrasts, with little of the shading we love in Rubinstein’s Chopin. Except for the Barcarolle, these are pretty big pieces, so Zimerman doesn’t exactly overwhelm the music.

As electronica’s golden-era operators moved closer to the middle of their careers (to say the end would be cruel), many showed signs of incorporating techniques that were too close to smooth jazz for comfort. Continue reading “DJ Krush – Jaku (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

If the Yellowjackets needed a guest guitarist, who would be the best person for the job? Pat Metheny would be an excellent choice, as would Al di Meola, John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, or John Scofield. Well, the Yellowjackets did hire a guest guitarist for Lifecycle — an excellent and well-known guitarist, in fact — and they feature him extensively on this 2008 release.

Update: CD-Layer & DSF Tracks have been added

Blackout was Scorpions’ first highly successful album, due to its clever balance of pop/rock (the title track), power ballads (“When the Smoke Is Going Down”), and catchy heavy metal (“Dynamite,” “No One Like You”). Vocalist Klaus Meine had a throat operation prior to the record’s release, and surprisingly, his voice sounds more melodic and lively than ever.

This is the album that made Harry Belafonte’s career. Up to this point, calypso had only been a part of Belafonte’s focus in his recordings of folk music styles. But with this landmark album, calypso not only became tattooed to Belafonte permanently; it had a revolutionary effect on folk music in the 1950s and ’60s Continue reading “Harry Belafonte – Calypso (1956) [2013, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Herbie Hancock’s all-star V.S.O.P.

In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention’s Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula.

Moya Brennan’s work away from Clannad has always suffered under the weight of comparisons to her sister, Enya. Her tendency to embrace the new age aesthetic that her sibling is so wrongfully accused of has won her as many detractors as it has supporters.

After his stint with Jethro Tull and as the wave of new romantic pop groups were taking control of the airwaves, Eddie Jobson entered the studio to record his first solo album, known as Zinc, although it was meant to be titled “The Green Album” and billed to the band name “Zinc” — the record company messed things up quite a bit.

There’s something exciting about the first album of a band that goes on to greatness, and The Pentangle, by the group of the same name, is no different. Here, the listener witnesses the first studio work of a band struggling to get their essence down on vinyl. Of course Bert Jansch and John Renbourn’s reputations as guitarists preceded the band, but the addition of bassist Danny Thompson and drummer Terry Cox gave the band an acoustic rhythm section like no other folk-rock group.
