Mike + The Mechanics – Mike + The Mechanics (1985) [2012, Audio Fidelity, HDCD Remastered]

Mike + The Mechanics - Mike + The Mechanics (1985) [2012, Audio Fidelity, HDCD Remastered]

With all of it’s members exercising their expertise, the debut album from Mike + the Mechanics posted two Top Ten singles in the span of three months. The songwriting comes out on top before anything else, with the somber stir of “Silent Running,” the album’s first release, peaking at number six Continue reading “Mike + The Mechanics – Mike + The Mechanics (1985) [2012, Audio Fidelity, HDCD Remastered]”

Cheap Trick – Discography (1977 – 2017)

Cheap Trick - Discography (1977 - 2017)

Combining a love for British guitar pop songcraft with crunching power chords and a flair for the absurd, Cheap Trick provided the necessary links between ’60s pop, heavy metal, and punk. Led by guitarist Rick Nielsen, the band’s early albums were filled with highly melodic, well-written songs that drew equally from the crafted pop of the Beatles, the sonic assault of the Who, and the tongue-in-cheek musical eclecticism and humor of the Move. Their sound provided a blueprint for both power pop and arena rock; it also had a surprisingly long-lived effect on both alternative and heavy metal bands of the ’80s and ’90s, who often relied on the same combination of loud riffs and catchy melodies.

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.

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]”

R.E.M. – Around The Sun (2004) [2005, Reissue, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

R.E.M. - Around The Sun (2004) [2005, Reissue, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

Ten years after the commercial zenith of Monster and seven years after the departure of linchpin Bill Berry, R.E.M. have never seemed as directionless as they do on their 13th album, Around the Sun. To a certain extent, R.E.M. have seemed unsure ever since Monster — sporadically brilliant as it is, New Adventures in Hi-Fi was an effort to clear the decks and redefine the band in the wake of its breakthrough to superstar status.

R.E.M. - New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996) [2005, Remastered, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

Recorded during and immediately following R.E.M.’s disaster-prone Monster tour, New Adventures in Hi-Fi feels like it was recorded on the road. Not only are all of Michael Stipe’s lyrics on the album about moving or travel, the sound is ragged and varied, pieced together from tapes recorded at shows, soundtracks, and studios, giving it a loose, careening charm Continue reading “R.E.M. – New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996) [2005, Remastered, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]”

Roy Orbison - Lonely And Blue (1961) [1999, MFSL Remastered]

Lonely and Blue is the first music album recorded by Roy Orbison for Monument Records, released in 1961.
The track entitled “Come Back to Me (My Love)” features an almost identical intro to “Only the Lonely”. In 1957, Frank Sinatra recorded a song of the same name for the album Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely (not related to Orbison’s recording).
