David Wright - New Instrumental Music Release "Dreams And Distant Moonlight"
 David Wright continues to produce instrumental music of the highest standard and this epic new dreamy program of music is his most impressive creation yet. Fifteen interlinked tracks spanning a colossal 77 minutes that is stylistically a cross between his 2002 classic "Walking With Ghosts" and the 2004 opus "Continuum". The music is varied and laced with superb Pink Floyd style lead guitar, bass guitar and occasional vocal textures that will no doubt draw comparison with David's electronic rock band Code Indigo. However, this is a very definite David Wright album - high class melodic electronic music that is rhythmic and flowing. There is some gorgeous music here; wonderful piano on tracks like "Dreams", trademark solos and imaginative sequencing on the tracks "Just an Illusion" and "State of Confusion", while David's string arrangements have never been more inspired on "Cry to the Moon" and "The Canyon." Other tracks like "State of Bliss" with its evocative guitar and stunning blues arrangement, the sparse "Heatwave in Blue" and the Klaus Schulze inspired "Amorphous" highlight that David is prepared to take risks. He is able to multitask and present various styles while retaining the vision and cohesion to present a very listenable instrumental music album without deviating from what people recognize as his core style. Huge in scope, this new album will be a real treat for fans both old and new. If you like the look of the Yes like science fiction sleeve then you should investigate this set. Available on CD or as a 256kbph digital MP3 or flac file download via www.admusiconline.com and also available from all major outlets including itunes and Amazon. | | Monday, September 15th, 2008 | 8:35 pm

Drifting Past Pain and Becoming a Renegade
Drifting Past Pain and Becoming a Renegade A Review of Tim Young Band's 'The Cost' By Liz Singer Tim Young Band's 'The Cost' is the perfect summertime soundtrack. It feels best to listen to it while sitting in front of a campfire, surrounded by company but alone with your thoughts. Every fleeting idea of pain, loss, and confusion come to full circle on each track, bringing to light the themes we all need to spend time thinking about. The single 'The Cost' tugs right at your heart-strings with fully-charged, emotive lyrics like 'Now the night is sawin' at my heart...nobody knows the cost of losing you.' Moving forward from the pain of loss, this twang-y, sorrowful lament about heartbreak infuses country-western rock to create a catchy melody. 'Outta Town' adds the electric guitar and makes you imagine what it would be like to just run away from all your problems as Young lists daily hassles we all deal with, such as traffic, landlords, and stresses from work. One of the strongest songs, with the best intro, is 'Drifting Cowboy.' With sliding guitar riffs, the vocals slow down, providing a nice tune to meditate to, amidst your confusion. While listening, you can actually envision a cowboy alone on the ranch, gazing out at the flat land ahead, wondering where to go. Creating an original story on this track, Young tells the tale of a young cowboy from Alabama who quit school: 'Rejection filled his cup until he landed on the stage in Nashville.' As Young switches to first person with 'I'm a drifting cowboy,' we have to wonder if Young himself is the drifting cowboy. Either way, the story is nothing short of riveting. 'Just For You' has a nostalgic feel to it, bringing Elvis' generation of country/rock back to the mainstream music scene with strumming guitar and wailing, honest vocals: 'I'd shine every night just for you / I can see just what I need to do.' 'Remember' certainly has an Elvis attitude, with its 'bad boy' tone shining through: 'And even when I write these words / I don't understand the past.' The track presents a concept any listener can understand: being at a crossroads of the past and present, trying to decipher what's happened before in order to know where to go in the future. On 'Hangin' In,' Young sings the blues, country-style, telling middle class woes of trying to get by, while inspiring listeners to keep their heads up: 'It's a long road every day / everyone I know says they're hangin' in.' Shifting the album's tone, on 'Cold Wind' Young introduces the theme of being, as Bob Dylan sings, 'Blowin' in the wind': 'Cold wind keeps on blowin' me around; cold wind spins the truth right through the ground.' 'Renegade' fittingly closes the album, since after moving from a wandering cowboy, to a lost soul, to the dust blowing through the cold wind, Young advances to a renegade: a proud, brave man advancing forward through nature and city scenes alike, ready to dominate whatever environment he finds himself in. Without looking back, and with his eyes always set straight ahead, Young proves the ability that we all have to completely move on past the painful yesterdays and transform ourselves into powerful individuals that we never thought we could become. Then, truly, the cost of the pain becomes inconsequential; all that matters are the rewards reaped from the incredible growth process that we all are able to enter and emerge from. 'The Cost' forces listeners to ask themselves, 'Where am I? Where have I been? How does it all make sense?' And more importantly, 'Where am I going?' But by the time the CD stops spinning, you realize, thanks to the Tim Young Band, that, no matter what the answers are, everything's going to be all right. http://www.timrocksweb.com/http://www.myspace.com/timnycyoung | | Thursday, May 29th, 2008 | 3:45 pm

Future Psychediscorama With Koko Dozo's Illegal Space Aliens
Future Psychediscorama With Koko Dozo's Illegal Space Aliens
Brothers and a Sister From Another Planet
By Mark Kirby, MusicDish e-Journal
One night several years ago at an Irish pub in the East Village of New York City, the discussion of music turned to disco. It involved musicians and people over 40 years-old, people who might know what they're talking about. Several of us were, in the heyday of Studio 54 and the disco era, into punk rock. Others of us were -- me especially -- strictly jazz heads. I reminded my friend of lonely nights in college smoking out of a four-foot bong and listening to Zappa and John Coltrane and wondering how to meet girls. They were at the campus disco parties, while we were above it all. And alone, getting in touch with ourselves.
Now a guy walked into the bar - no, this is not a joke, this is true - leans over and asks Nancy, the bartender, to put on a CD he brought. He had a box set called 100 Disco Hits and wanted to hear it. She put it on over a few protests and by the third cut half the bar was up dancing. "This s**t is great, what were we thinkin'?" What were we thinking? The cuts that he played -- "Boogie Nights," "Disco Lady," "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" -- were all songs with soul power. Killer musicians, great singers, and songwriters that had some skills were at work on these gems. So many of the songs that turned off the young cynic back in the day -- and I was one of them -- now sound like musical versions of the politics of hope. Besides the quality of the music and the infusion of beer and liquor, these cuts stood out because the party music of today consists of desperate, vapid consumer fantasies "sung" over prepackaged, overly mechanized "music." From Justin Timberlake to Mariah Carey, this is what dance music is all about. Like rap agitators Public Enemy asked back in the '90's "who stole the soul?"
These memories and thoughts came to mind while listening to Koko Dozo's new CD Illegal Space Aliens. The band members present themselves as bizarro characters. Chief producer Polarity/1, who created the beats and sounds that make the backbone of the music, dresses like a pro wrestling manager who is channeling Sun Ra. Though using synthesizer sounds, drum machines, and synth bass, his music has a distinctive, organic quality, a certain freshness and vitality. Rubio -- the self-described "multi-brained, Viking, Satanic wizard"; complete with Viking helmet and wizardly robe -- provides funky, jazzy keyboards that flesh out and add spice and musicality to the grooves. Singer Amy Douglas, the "Inter-Galactic Empress," looks like a grown up Punky Brewster turned dominatrix from Brooklyn by way of worlds beyond. But for all the outer spaceness of their image and electronic sounds, the music on Illegal Space Aliens is rooted in the organic soil of the disco, funk and soul of a bygone era.
The CD starts with dense electronic sounds that morph into a groove consisting of bass, a looped piano chord, and a beat made of these dense sounds, on the opening cut "Second Time." Amy Douglas brings flesh and soul to this cyborg of a song. With musical experience covering punk cabaret, funk with George Clinton and down-home jazz with Illinois Jacquet, she has the pipes. She also has the musicality and taste to do it just right. "Face on the Dance Floor" starts with disembodied female voices and a vocal loop of laughs. A house beat kicks in and Douglas busts out with a Donna Summers-like vocal blast: "You know you got that face... hold your face on the dance floor / wave your feet in the air / make us believe that you don't care / smash your face on the dance floor / put your kicks in the air / wave it some more put your f****n' face on the dance floor." The song grooves along with interesting musical riffs and keyboard counter melodies, as Douglas goes off. The backup group female voices come back and the song's next verse comes in. These little touches elevate this and other songs on the CD above average, boring house and dance music. You can dig this music without drugs or dancing.
Koko Dozo - "Face On The Dancefloor" Live @ Nacotheque
Some of the album's cuts resemble the classic disco of the'70's and '80's. "Boomchi" has that signature four-on-the-floor drum beat, offbeat funk bass lick, and soulful strings. The vocals come in like Chic's classic "Good Times." Busting out in Spanish, Douglas lets fly some wailing diva vocal blasts. The song's break down features bass drum, breathy, chanting vocals, and an over-the-top spew in Spanglish by Rubio. Euro disco brought in the dominance of synthesizers and more mechanical rhythms. "Shine" is in this mold, but the piano licks and, once again, Douglas' voice gives the song a human face: "Shine a light / I need to know that I'm alive / Shine a light / guide me to your secret side / give me breath that can revive."
Koko Dozo mines other types of music, particularly the expansive side of soul and funk, on the slow jam "Down." This features sweet lead and backup vocals, as well as chords that move and glide in an extended middle part that seems to drift away. Then, from silence, the song starts up with vocals that remind one of soul diva's like Chaka Khan. "D.C. Whore" combines political satire and discordant, complex funk. "Fulano de Tai" is dirge-like, with music that evokes the image of an emotional desert and recalls one of Ennio Morricone's more psychedelic soundtracks.
One of the strengths of Illegal Space Aliens, and my regular readers please forgive me, is that there are nine choice cuts on this record. No fluff, just a statement. This should be the new trend. This should also be an example of how to make dance music that is intelligent and cool, not dumbed down to the level of morons in too-tight $90 designer jeans.

Mambo Mariachi Rock turned into One World on Share My Love
 The term "one world," as it applies to music, makes one think of vapid New Age background sounds. This is where musicians take little exotic bits of music from Third World countries and turn rich cultural legacies into fast food sounds with no distinction and a wisp of the original flavor. It wasn't always this way. Back in your crazy Uncle's day - the 70's, the decade that will never die - bands like War, Mandrill and Santana had no trouble mixing the music that they heard and loved with their own cultural roots. Mandrill, in particular, was consciously created - personnel-wise - to include members with Latin and Caribbean roots to go with as black Americans and one of their psychedelic, white, hippie friends. These artists took the beat of the streets - jazz, soul, Caribbean and Mexican music into their hearts, minds and souls - and came out as a nice hybrid that took the fire and guts of these different music strands and not just the surfaces. One World lives up to this legacy, creating a Pan Latino music that leans heavily on the Mexican tradition; itself a creole melange of different styles: country swing & blues from Texas, Spanish flamenco and Cuban music. Best of all, they avoid the vapidity trap because band founder and leader Frank Unzueta has deep roots in this music, coming from a family with Mexican-born grandparents and a mother who played piano and loved classical, mambo and mariachi music. Authenticity, after all, doesn't come in a can. The songs on ' Share My Love' range from hybrids to rockers to straight traditional Latin numbers. The title track is based on classic mariachi music. A flamenco guitar intro sets up a fast waltzing tempo. The melody is echoed and stated by viola and violin, and propelled by drums, percussion and bass. Urzetta sings this song, an appeal to universal love, in the strident manner of a Mexican singer, despite singing in English. The next cut, "Got A Letter," takes a radical turn into Santana-land. The opening salvo features blazing electric guitar over a hard rock beat. It breaks suddenly into a rock Salsa mix, the signature sound of Woodstock-era Santana. The Latin groove and influence continues throughout the CD but in different forms and with different musical flavorings. "Las Calles" starts out as a traditional Spanish language mambo, with sweetly passionate vocals and violin colorings. Then the drummer, Art Valdez, switches to a rock feel on the choruses giving the song more intensity. "Orale 5:02" is a blues infused rock cut featuring the sonorous vocals of percussionist Alandras Brown. The Latin element, present on every cut, comes through on the backing vocals. The biting, dueling electric guitars by Unzueta and Mitchell Chavez are stellar. "Tina Mas Fina," an instrumental tribute a fine, fine babe, is hard-hitting Latin jazz, with vocals and a saxophone melody that is a virtual tribute to Prez Prado. The one world idea and the overall theme of love are expressed, also: "Latin soul hip hop old school and anything you like to get your groove / now it's time to slow dance, there's that special girl so take a chance." Virtually every song on Share My Love is a love song, whether it's love lost ("My Love Where Are You") and found ("Got A Letter" and, in "She Longed For His Love"), love offered (the title track and "Give Yourself to Me"), and yearned for ("If You Were Mine"). While many love songs in the worlds of R&B, pop, and indie emo rock tend to slide into the muck of maudlin sentimentality and emerge covered in sap and pap, here this is avoided by lyrics that are simple and real and music that expresses passion and energy. This is a result of Ursetta's excellent arrangements and the powerful playing of Valdez, the bass player, Larry Steen, and Unzueta and Brown's singing. All in all One World, while leaving much of the world out of its music, lives up to its name as far as the Latin diaspora is concerned, and Share My Love es muy satisfacción. | | Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 | 11:59 am

Mello Mello's An Abstract Love Story: Down to Earth, Love, Sexy Drama
 Neo Soul is the antidote to the pervasiveness of whack R&B; so-called music that replaced the feelings, experiences, hopes and dreams of the average man or woman with contrived images and dreams of unattainable lavish lifestyles... of opulent wealth and perpetual sex with fantasy women. He didn't start the trend but Eddie Murphy set the standard with his absurd ballad, the title track on his 1985 album 'How Could It Be', the record which spawned "Party All The Time." Murphy is seen in a mansion, white of course, dressed in a white robe, and playing a white piano and warbling in a falsetto about how hard it is to be rich and date super models. Now all R&B has sunk to this level, aided and abetted by rap culture with its desperate, cartoonish materialism. Soul music back in the day - the '60s and '70s - had songs like "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" with lyrics like, "A pretty face you may not possess, but what I like about you is your tenderness." You had songs where homeboy admitted straight out that he was an average hard workin' dude or just poor, like the man in the often covered tune "The Poor Side of Town" by Johnny Rivers: "That rich guy you've been seein' / Must have put you down / So welcome back baby / To the poor side of town." You had songs full of real life wisdom like "Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This." No more sentiments like these in R&B. Thankfully we have neo soul artists like Angie Stone and D'Angelo and two New Jacks from Arizona, Mello Mello. Mixing rap and soul rooted in the soil of the classics, they are immediately comparable to OutKast. But whereas, even at the beginning, OutKast did one rap dominated song, with a vocal hook or chorus, or, conversely, a vocal number with a rap thrown in, Mello Mello has integrated the two parts with vocalist Rich Reddy and rapper Emcee Xtravagentways. Their sound, created by producer Raycean, is restrained and tasteful with a relaxed vibe that suits the album's theme. Conceived as a unified concept album - rare today in iPod culture - ' An Abstract Love Story' it starts with mellow party jam where they extol their charms and invite you into their world, the world of love songs. The rest of the CD is made up of love songs of various shades; from the initial step up and game spitting on "I Just Wanna Love You" ("I can hit with the charm that you just can't see / Have your mind in the clouds like the finest weed / Help me bring to life this dream to share with you everything that belongs to me / ... it ain't about the late night call I just want to have it all"), to the erotic romantic come on of "The Best Thing for U Iz Me" ("The best thing for you is me ... recognize your destiny"), and through rough patches of hurt in the song "Come Home" and the confusion of "Do You Luv Me or Hate Me." Girls cheat and love fades in the real world that this music lives in and Mello Mello relate this in "Movin' On," a cut that really lays in on the line: "I gotta move on / 'cause all the love is gone / ain't no use in holdin' on / you did me wrong and now I'm gone." But just like in real life you can't keep a brother down so they end with a hopeful party song called "Steppin' Out" where they plan to get back in the game with the hotties at the club. Unlike a rap version of the club song, which is all about power and beefin' and scaring girls into sleeping with you 'cause you're so thugged out, it's clear that, like the songs on the entire CD, these brothers are mellow mellow, and looking for that crazy sexy good loving. An Abstract Love Story sits perfectly in a niche that was once filled by Motown, one where people who are "grown ... or young, hip and still maturing" can get something from the music. Remember, beauty's only skin deep. Current Music: R&B | | Monday, December 10th, 2007 | 6:26 pm

Jazz Cycles Review on FOJAZZ
 When Paul Nash, founder of the Manhattan New Music Project, discovered he had a terminal brain tumor in 2003, he resolved to spend his final year putting his musical affairs in order. The results can be heard here, in the first of two discs recorded mere weeks before he died. It's a wonderful summing up of the three-decade journey Nash undertook through the varied terrain of modern jazz, a grand suite for septet that incorporates burning grooves, subtle introspection and buoyant swing. Although many of the 15 tracks can be appreciated singly or in pairs - several of them segue together - the disc must be heard without interruption to get the full effect of the various parts. Still, certain sections can be held up as highlights. The opener, "Passaglia," builds from an infectious guitar theme. The cool midnight swing of "It's Only a Dream" provides a fine launching pad for Jim Ridl's upbeat piano. And "Strange Rife" slurs and slides over a sinister bass line. Together, these compositions and interludes paint a stirring portrait of Nash through fine writing, bright recording and crisp performances. 4 out of 5 stars FOJAZZPaul Nash Facebook Page | | Wednesday, September 26th, 2007 | 11:26 pm

 Extremely rare and sought-after album shows a very different side to the incredibly rich Turkish music scene of the late 1960's/early 1970's, with gravelly vocals and introspective folk rock arrangements; a mostly calm album with incredible songs and lyrics from revered songwriter Bulent Ortacgil, recorded in 1973 or 1974; regarded by Hans Pokora's Record Collector Dreams book as psych folk, where it received four stars; musical support provided by a team of dynamite musicians including Onno Tunc and Atilla Ozdemiroglu; booklet includes lyrics and photos.

She has created a number of rare and interesting albums and worked in the film industry as an actor and as a score writer. She has a most wonderful voice and it can barely be expressed in a few words. Her style and panache needs to be heard and enjoyed.

Flute & Voice - Hallo Rabbit (German Psych Folk 1972)
The Flute is Hans Reffert and the Voice is Hans Brandeis. Together, they combine to make a most beautiful sound and a great album with this album here. I'm sitting here and listening to the second song called "Fairies" and as soon as the singing pauses and there's a slight lull, I feel like I'm about to drift away and then suddenly, the flute comes in and takes me away more quickly than the soft picks on the cords. It's absolutely amazing. When the two met, they were witnessing a wonderful Indian Sitar performance and that's when it clicked. They picked up plenty of inspiration from Indian music, but that's not really where a large portion came. They also had plenty of influences in the field of Jazz music along with a large folk inspiration. This album is ripped at 192 mp3. The title is Hallo Rabbit Tracklist: Natural Feeling Fairies Dorle Hallo Rabbit Scottish Rock Little Nemo in Slumberland Strike Another Match Seven amazing songs that seem to flow together in perfection. This album is a must have for anyone remotely interested in folk music. http://rapidshare.com/files/14942707/flute___voice_-_hallo_rabbit__ger_rare_folk_psych_1973_.zip | | Friday, February 2nd, 2007 | 7:05 pm

Pesnyary - Pesnyary Psych Folk from Russia 1974
Pesnyary Not less than nine piece band, they combined rock and folk music in a way no one did before. The first Pesnyary recordings date back to 1969 (now some are available on compilation CD's issued in 1996). These were the cover versions of the Beatles with Russian lyrics. (Think that every Soviet Union band passed such "Beatles cover versions" period in the beginning of the career). But it didn't take long for Pesnyary to develop their own, absolutely unique sound. Not less than nine piece band, they combined rock and folk music in a way no one did before. Bjelorussian folk is a specific music, very tender and melodical, filled with sorrow rather than with joy. Pesnyary didn't just make rock arrangements of folk songs, they developed and enriched these songs at the same time taking great care of the original passion and soul. One can find many elements of psychedelia in their earlier works and progressive moves in the later albums. All their LP's are highly recommended. Sadly, the Soviet music officials were not sleeping... All the bands of the seventies had to include in their repertoire the songs by "official" writers and composers. But these tracks, moving to pop in style, in Pesnyary's versions became massive hits and are popular even nowadays. All the band members were the top class players and the vocal group was exceptional. Using traditional folk instruments - horns, strings and others (don't know how are they called in English) combined with organ and electric guitar sometimes produced very psychedelic effect. The first, self titled LP saw the light of day in 1971 (by the way the second and third albums were as well self-titled, don't be confused!). This is the second album. It was released in 1974. Give it a whirl and lemme know what you think. http://rapidshare.com/files/14491330/pesnyary_-_pesnyary__1974_-_russian_beat-folk-psych_.zip | | Saturday, January 27th, 2007 | 11:27 pm

Justin Heathcliff - Justin Heathcliff
http://rapidshare.com/files/13730257/Justin_Heathcliff_-_Justin_Heathcliff__1971_.zip"Long before attaining fame as a soundtrack composer and new age artist, Osamu Kitajima adopted a sufficiently Anglo pseudonym and released this amazing homage to British pop-psychedelia in 1971. Issued by Warner Bros. in Japan only, the LP has unsurprisingly climbed skywards in price ever since, and only a cave dweller could miss the faithful nods to Syd, Marc, John, Paul, George and Ringo in the original compositions and English lyrics. Osamu's ability around a studio was evident even then and the choice of genre to lovingly imitate predated the whole retro/'paisley' psych movement by about ten or fifteen years." According to other stories, he used the name to try to gain sales in the American and British markets. With a Japanese name, he wasn't going to get the exposure in America and England that he would with an Anglo name. He's Japanese through and through, but people wanted his album to sell. He did change his name back and since that first album, he's done quite a bit of New Age material. This album, though, is the best thing he's done. It's such a beautiful album. Track List: 1. Let's All Sing Along 2. You All Should Think More 3. Hand in Hand 4. Which is True 5. Once It's Nice to Rise at Dawn 6. Lost are my Dreams 7. Sea 8. You Know What I Mean 9. A Tiny Island 10. Good Bye 11. Life 12. To Love in Peace 13. Love Makes the World Complete | | Thursday, January 25th, 2007 | 3:38 pm

Group: Rhubarb's Revenge Title: Confessions Of A Big Lankey Dope 224-320 VBR Track List: 1) Intro- Man To Man 2) Time Of The Season 3) Victoria 4) Mr. Spaceman 5) Words Of Aaron 6) Lonely 7) Tomorrow Begins Today 8) When I Feed My Prize Hog 9) Nice Spot In The Dark 10) Avon Girl 11) 2000 Man* 12) Prize Hoggies #2* 13) Ohio* 14) RoadApple Jammies* *Prevoiously Unreleased Total Time- 47:26 Credits: Rich Larsen-Guitar, bass, vocals Gregory Shuss-Piano, percussion, voices Michael Rothkopf-Acoustic guitars Rob Rothschild-Drums, conga Chris Breetveld-Guitars, taping, voices Dino Di Martino-Drums The best way to describe this album is that it's one of kind, and in more ways than one. A group of guys got together after work at the Pink Grass studios, which actually was the home of one of the members, had some beers, picked up their instruments and had some fun, and it all sounds that way throughout the recording. This is as zany and different as anything I have ever heard. And in a weird kind of way, it's really good. These guys could actually play very well together. Most of the first side of the album is covers, and interesting ones to say the least. The Kinks, The Byrds, CSNY, and The Zombies, are given their due with inspired, although real different versions, of their songs. The originals on side two are out of the ordinary as well. 100 copies were originally pressed of this album so it was an ultra rare find indeed. Bonus tracks are added to make it even more appealing to the collector. It's whacky, spaced out, and fun, and that's enough for me to justify giving it a spin and to keep it in my collection. Keep in mind this music was made for those of you that are footloose and fancy free at heart, so if you're very serious about perfection of sound and clarity in your music, this will come as a disappointment, but if you can appreciate hearing accomplished musicians have some fun then this will be enjoyable for you. h**p://rapidshare.com/files/12734342/rhu barb_s_revenge_-_or_confessions_of_a_big _lanky_dope.zip | | Thursday, January 11th, 2007 | 3:42 pm
