Catalog-August

Steel Pulse are a roots reggae musical band, from the Handsworth area of Birmingham, England, which has a large number of Afro-Caribbean, Indian and other Asian migrants. They originally formed at Handsworth Wood Boys School, composed of David Hinds(lead vocals, guitar), Basil Gabbidon (lead guitar, vocals), and Ronald McQueen (bass). Steel Pulse were the first non-Jamaican act to win the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.

True Democracy is a roots reggae album released by Steel Pulse in May 1982. The album was recorded over 25 days in Denmark, with legendary reggae producer Karl Pitterson.

While True Democracy does see Steel Pulse return somewhat to their political roots of Handsworth Revolution and Tribute to the Martyrs, it is also more light-hearted in the vein of Reggae Fever (Caught You).

The early works of a future genius Michael Kamen & New York Rock Ensemble, The ‎– Roll Over

Catalog-August
The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble was a rock band active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, whose music was described as „classical baroque rock”.The band was formed by three Juilliard students (Michael Kamen, Marty Fulterman –now known as Mark Snow– and Dorian Rudnytsky) as well as two rock musicians, Brian Corrigan and Clif Nivison.
Released in 1971, Roll Over was their most overtly rock album to date and, at that time, their biggest seller. The band’s tour to support this album was unique in that in addition to their usual college dates, the band also played with leading symphony orchestras across the country including the Boston Pops and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
But most important is the Michael Kamen carrier :He became a highly-sought arranger in the realms of pop and rock music. His contemporaries in this field included Academy Award winner Anne Dudley, Richard Niles, andNick Ingman. His successes include his work with Pink Floyd, David Gilmour and Roger Waters[2] (he is one of the few people to have been invited to work with both former Pink Floyd members, after their acrimonious split), as well as Queen (orchestration on Who Wants To Live Forever), Eric Clapton (on Edge of Darkness), Roger Daltrey, Aerosmith(live orchestral version of Dream On for MTV), Tom Petty, Bon Jovi, David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Eurythmics, Queensrÿche, Rush, Metallica (on the song „Nothing Else Matters” and their live album, S&M), Def Leppard, Herbie Hancock, Tim Curry, The Cranberries, Bryan Adams, Jim Croce, Coldplay, Sting, and Kate Bush. For Bush, Kamen delivered an orchestral backing for „Moments of Pleasure” from The Red Shoes album, substantially building upon a simple piano theme Bush had composed. In this instance, and many others, he conducted the orchestra personally for the recording. In 1984, Kamen had similarly heightened the effect of a pop recording for the Eurythmics „Here Comes the Rain Again„, that score relying as much on his compositional skills as his arranging talents. Five years later, he composed the music for For Queen and Country.

In 1990, Kamen joined many other guests for Roger Waters‘ performance of The Wall in Berlin, and lead the National Philharmonic Orchestra during the 24 Nights sessions withEric Clapton the following year.

Lenny Kravitz recorded a cover of „Fields of Joy” on his 1991 CD Mama Said that Michael had co-written with Hal Fredricks.

In 2002, Kamen took part in the Concert for George as strings conductor.

Kamen had a successful partnership with Bryan Adams and R.J. Lange composing scores and songs. The ballad „(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” for the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was the number one song of that year worldwide. Other songs were „All For Love” for the movie „The Three Musketeers” in 1993, and „Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?” the song from the film „Don Juan DeMarco,” in 1995.

Catalog-August

Dust Bowl Ballads is an album by Woody Guthrie, recorded for Victor Records during Guthrie’s time in New York City in 1940. It was Guthrie’s first commercial recording and the most successful album he made. It is considered to be the first or one of the very first concept albums.[3]

The Dust Bowl Ballads

. Twelve sides, including the double-sided „Tom Joad”, were included in this release, but two of the thirteen songs, „Pretty Boy Floyd” and „Dust Bowl Blues” were left out due to length. All tracks were recorded at RCA Victor studios in Camden, New Jersey on April 26, 1940, except „Dust Cain’t Kill Me” and „Dust Pneumonia Blues” which were recorded on May 3. In 1964, during the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s, a reissue including all tracks from the sessions was released in LP format by Folkways Records after RCA Warner refused Guthrie’s request to re-issue the album.[4] The complete Dust Bowl Ballads remains available on compact disc, audio cassette, and digital upload through the Smithsonian Institution’s Folkways Collection.[5]

The songs on „Dust Bowl Ballads” are semi-autobiographical, chronicling Guthrie’s experience as a so-called „Okie” during the Dust Bowl era, where Guthrie witnessed the economic hardship that many migrant workers faced in California. Like many of Guthrie’s later recordings, these songs contain an element of social activism, and would be an important influence on later musicians, including Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Phil Ochs and Joe Strummer.

A distinctive sound that has been lauded by many critics and their music are incorporate elements of punk, jazz, funk, ska, reggae and even tribal world music, such as afrobeat : Pigbag ‎– Dr Heckle And Mr Jive

R-135289-1152368022.jpeg (1)

Catalog-August
Pigbag were a British post-punk band, active from 1980 to 1983.

Although never hugely commercially successful, Pigbag had a distinctive sound that has been lauded by many critics over the years since their demise.[citation needed] Members of the band went on to record with many other bands, some still active today. Their career took place during the huge mushrooming and cross-pollination of genres that followed thepunk movement, and their music can be said to incorporate elements of punk, jazz, funk, ska, reggae and even tribal world music, such as afrobeat, all accompanied with undeniable pop sensibility. Pigbag’s influence can be heard today in the more funk-influenced percussive side of the post-punk revival, in such bands as !!! and LCD Soundsystem.

Their single „Papa’s Got a Brand New Pigbag” has entered mainstream consciousness, and is considered a classic pop hit of its era. It is removed somewhat from the rest of the band’s career, to the effect that Pigbag are sometimes considered one-hit wonders. It has been used extensively as soundtrack music and at sporting events, particularly byMiddlesbrough Football Club and Queens Park Rangers, and is still a popular dance record in clubs. In 2003, an anthem row erupted before a play-off final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff between Cardiff and Queens Park Rangers. Eventually neither God Save the Queen or Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau were played and the clubs could choose their own song. Cardiff opted for Men of Harlech, while QPR went for Papa’s Got A Brand New Pigbag.[1]

The track has been covered by several other artists. It featured on the soundtrack of the 2006 film of Alan Bennet’s The History Boys. English group, Madness, have included a cover version of the song in their live set on occasions.[2]

In Canada, the song was used as the theme for The NewMusic, a music newsmagazine show for over 25 years, first in its original recording, then re-recorded by other artists.[citation needed]

Wonderfully fluid ensemble sound in : Steely Dan ‎– Pretzel Logic

Catalog-August

Pretzel Logic is the third studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released on February 20, 1974, by ABC Records. It was written by principal band members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. They recorded the album at The Village Recorder in West Los Angeles with producer Gary Katz and prominent Los Angeles-based studio musicians.

The album was a commercial and critical success upon its release. Its hit single „Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” helped restore Steely Dan’s radio presence after the disappointing performance of their 1973 album Countdown to Ecstasy. Pretzel Logic was reissued in 1999 to retrospective acclaim from critics

Pretzel Logic was released by ABC Records on February 20, 1974,[14] to high sales.[9] It charted at number eight on the Billboard 200and became Steely Dan’s third gold-certified album.[15] After the disappointing performance of Countdown to Ecstasy, the album restored their radio presence with the single „Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”,[16] which became the biggest pop hit of their career and peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100.[17] On September 7, 1993, Pretzel Logic was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having shipped one million copies in the United States.[14]

Pretzel Logic was praised by contemporary music critics.[9] Bud Scoppa from Rolling Stone magazine found the album’s  unprecedented in popular music and said that the ambiguous lyrics „create an emotionally charged atmosphere, and the best are quite affecting.”[5] Down Beat asserted that „there are no better rock recording groups in America, and damn few worldwide.”[6] Christgau originally gave Pretzel Logic an „A–” in his review for Cream and found it innovative: „The music can be called jazzy without implying an insult, and Donald Fagen and Walter Becker are the real world’s answer to Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia.”[18] In a mixed review, Noel Coppage of Stereo Review was impressed by the music impressive, but said that „the lyrics baffle me; maybe they know what they’re talking about, but I can’t get a clue.”[19]

At the end of 1974, Pretzel Logic was named NME magazine’s album of the year,[20] and it was also voted the second best record of the 1974 in the Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of prominent critics published by The Village Voice.[21] Christgau, the poll’s creator, ranked it number one in his own list.[22] He gave the album an „A+” in a 1981 review, writing that it encapsulated Steely Dan’s „chewy perversity as aptly as its title”, with vocals by Fagen that „seem like the golden mean of pop ensemble singing, stripped of histrionics and displays of technique, almost … sincere, modest.”[11]

In 1994, Pretzel Logic was ranked number 67 in the All Time Top 1000 Albums by writer Colin Larkin.

Catalog-August

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is the third studio album by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel. Produced by Bob Johnston, the album was released on October 10, 1966 in the United States by Columbia Records. Following the success of their debut single „The Sound of Silence„, Simon & Garfunkel regrouped after a time apart while Columbia issued their second album, a rushed collection titled Sounds of Silence. For their third album, the duo spent nine months in the studio, for the first time extending a perfectionist nature both in terms of instrumentation and production.

The album largely consists of acoustic pieces that were mostly written during Paul Simon‘s period in England the previous year, including some recycled numbers from his debut solo record, The Paul Simon Songbook. The album includes the Garfunkel-led piece „For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her„, as well as „7 O’Clock News/Silent Night„, a combination of news reports of the day (theVietnam War, the civil rights movement, the death of comedian Lenny Bruce), and the Christmas carol „Silent Night„.

„Homeward Bound” became a top five hit in numerous countries and, „Scarborough Fair/Canticle„, performed similarly. The album peaked at number four on theBillboard Pop Album Chart, and was eventually certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
