Bryan Ferry – Boys And Girls (1985) [2005, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Bryan Ferry - Boys And Girls (1985) [2005, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Having at last laid Roxy to bed with its final, intoxicatingly elegant albums, Ferry continued its end-days spirit with his own return to solo work. Dedicated to Ferry’s father, Boys and Girls is deservedly most famous for its smash single “Slave to Love.” With a gentle samba-derived rhythm leading into the steadier rock pace of the song, it’s ’80s Ferry at his finest, easy listening without being hopelessly soporific.

Weather Report – Night Passage (1980) [2018, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Weather Report - Night Passage (1980) [2018, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Night Passage is the eleventh album by Weather Report, released in 1980. The tracks were recorded in August 1980 at The Complex studios in Los Angeles (before a crowd of 250 people who can be heard on a couple of tracks), except for “Madagascar”, recorded live in Osaka, in June of the same year. The album introduces a new member to the band, percussionist Robert Thomas Jr. Night Passage loses the over-done production layers of some of Weather Report’s earlier releases (most notably 1978’s Mr. Gone). What is lost in layers of overdubs is made up in solo improvisation in the classic jazz tradition. Continue reading “Weather Report – Night Passage (1980) [2018, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

The Doobie Brothers’ third long-player was the charm, their most substantial and consistent album to date, and one that rode the charts for a year. It was also a study in contrasts, Tom Johnston’s harder-edged, bolder rocking numbers balanced by Patrick Simmons’ more laid-back country-rock ballad style. The leadoff track, Johnston’s “Natural Thing,” melded the two, opening with interlocking guitars and showcasing the band’s exquisite soaring harmonies around a beautiful melody, all wrapped up in a midtempo beat Continue reading “The Doobie Brothers – The Captain And Me (1973) [2011, Japan Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

The Allman Brothers came first, but Lynyrd Skynyrd epitomized Southern rock. The Allmans were exceptionally gifted musicians, as much bluesmen as rockers. Skynyrd was nothing but rockers, and they were Southern rockers to the bone. This didn’t just mean that they were rednecks, but that they brought it all together — the blues, country, garage rock, Southern poetry — in a way that sounded more like the South than even the Allmans.

Gaucho is the seventh studio album by the American jazz rock band Steely Dan, released on November 21, 1980 by MCA Records. The sessions for Gaucho represent the band’s typical penchant for studio perfectionism and obsessive recording technique.

Spandau Ballet – True (1983) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spandau Ballet - True (1983) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

By 1983, with the new romantic movement they’d sprung from a rapidly fading memory, the members of Spandau Ballet showed they had no intention of traveling the same path. Always ambitious, the British quintet really got down to business: Gone were the kilts, frilly shirts, and makeup — as well as the sometimes chilly electronics of their first two albums. Instead, after recording at Compass Point Studios in the sun-soaked Bahamas, the group turned up in smartly tailored suits, with a sleek and mainstream sound to match.

Uriah Heep – Look At Yourself (1971) [2011, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Uriah Heep - Look At Yourself (1971) [2011, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The third time proved to be the charm for Uriah Heep: on Look at Yourself, the group perfects its fusion of heavy metal power and prog rock majesty, and the result is one of the best albums in the Heep catalog. The gauntlet is thrown down on the title track, a powerful rocker that layers its relentless hard rock attack with ornate vocal harmonies and quicksilver organ runs before climaxing with a tribal-sounding drum jam.

Leslie Pintchik - Quartets (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Leslie Pintchik, on this, her second recording as a leader, presents two different quartets that surround her delicate, lithe, and grammatical piano. Two rearranged standards kick off the disc with the first foursome, a piano-bass-drums trio plus percussionist Satoshi Takeishi.

Blind Faith - Blind Faith (1969) [2016, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Blind Faith is the self-titled and only album by the English supergroup Blind Faith, originally released in 1969 on Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and Europe and on Atlantic Records in the United States. It topped the album charts in the UK, Canada and USA, and was listed at No. 40 on the USA Soul Albums chart. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA. Rolling Stone published three reviews of the album in their 6 September 1969 issue, which were written by Ed Leimbacher, Lester Bangs, and John Morthland.

Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die (1970) [2010, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

At only 22 years old, Steve Winwood sat down in early 1970 to fulfill a contractual commitment by making his first solo album, on which he intended to play all the instruments himself. The record got as far as one backing track produced by Guy Stevens, “Stranger to Himself,” before Winwood called his erstwhile partner from Traffic, Jim Capaldi, in to help out.

Charles Aznavour - Je M'voyais Déjà (1961) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Charles Aznavour, released on January 1961, is the seventh French studio album by the French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour. This album is also known under the title “Je m’voyais déjà” (It Will Be My Day). The album includes songs by Charles Aznavour, Georges Garvarentz, and others. According to The book of golden discs, ‘J’m voyais deja’ was one of the hits which from 1961 helped Aznavour to become “an international favourite”. The album became a bestseller in Belgium and a hit in France. Continue reading “Charles Aznavour – Je M’voyais Déjà (1961) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”
