ony/Legacy’s 2016 single-disc The Ultimate Collection is the first career-spanning Roy Orbison compilation since their double-disc Essential from a decade earlier. At 40 tracks, Essential would seem to have an edge over The Ultimate Collection, but the 2016 compilation has a significant advantage in that it contains the original hit versions of “Running Scared” and “In Dreams,” iconic hits present only as re-recordings on the double-disc set.

Coldplay capitalize on the multicolored positivity of A Head Full of Dreams with Kaleidoscope, an EP that ties together all the threads left hanging by that sparkling 2015 album. Although Kaleidoscope is named after a Head Full of Dreams album track — available here in a new, airy mix — the key track is “Something Just Like This,” the group’s collaboration with the EDM duo Chainsmokers that became a huge hit in the first half of 2017.

Suzanne Vega – Suzanne Vega (1985) [2018, Japan Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Suzanne Vega - Suzanne Vega (1985) [2018, Japan Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Though early comparisons were made to Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega’s true antecedents were Janis Ian and Leonard Cohen. Like Ian, she sings with a precise, frequently half-spoken phrasing that gives her lyrics an intensity that seems to suggest an unsteady control consciously held over emotional chaos. Like Cohen, Vega observes the world in poetic metaphor, her cold urban landscapes reflecting a troubled sense of love and loss.

Ambrosia – Anthology (1997)

Ambrosia - Anthology (1997)

For various legal reasons, no Ambrosia recordings were released on compact disc in America until 1997’s Anthology, and while it’s an imperfect collection, it does offer a reasonably thorough overview of the group’s career. It only briefly touches on the band’s early art rock records, choosing to concentrate instead on their early-’80s soft rock hits like “Biggest Part of Me,” “You’re the Only Woman,” and “How Much I Feel.” Continue reading “Ambrosia – Anthology (1997)”
