Recommendation #66 [Richard Dorfmeisters Private Collection G-Stone Master Series]

Mar 6 2011, 12h52 por ofLogic

http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/4985/1298310069500cover.jpg

Yet another DJ compilation series? Not quite. The G-Stone Master Series features neither hot new remixes nor a compendium of club hits.

It doesn't even provide you with a DJ mix tape for your personal stereo. Instead it lets you in on some secret all-time favorite tracks of Peter Kruder, Richard Dorfmeister and the likes. Obscure pop songs, classics and experimental instrumentals you may not have heard of - it´s all there for you to explore, to find out what´s special about these tracks and why they've come to be so important for the artistic expression of the G-Stone artists themselves. This is No. 2 in the G-Stone Master Series, more to follow.

There is something magical about these tunes, they stay fresh with every listen. They often bring to my mind the smile of a child. Children have the ability to see things with a freshness, an ability that fades with age, but while it‘s there it has be one of the most powerful images in the universe. …

Skin Dive / Michael Franks

Dez 30 2010, 3h56 por borcaro

このアルバムは寒くなるとついつい聴きたくなるんだ。
リリースされた年、一番良く聴いたアルバムだったかも知れない。
本当に1年通して良く聴いた。
なぜ寒くなるとこのアルバムなのかなと思い返してみたら、、、
大雪が降って仕事帰り小田急が止まって町田で下車して友人のアパートに泊めてもらう為、積った雪の中をこのアルバムを聴きながら深夜の街を歩いたのを思い出した。たぶんその時の情景とこのサウンドが一緒になって刷り込まれているんじゃないかな。Michael Franks Skin Dive Michael Franks official web site http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41N8DPC3BHL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

New Music - 2007-07-20

Jul 21 2007, 4h07 por patchcali

After a long day at work, I stopped by the mall and visited the music store therein, which is notoriously expensive, but has a different variety to select from than my usual local sources.

I was looking in particular for music by Herb Alpert and Michael Franks today. Found nothing by the latter, and only a remix album for the former. I was happy, though, to find the Jamiroquai album that I passed up last time available for only $7.99. When I approached the cashier to check out, she informed me that they were having a "buy three CDs, get a fourth one free" special -- so I thanked her and hunted around some more for other low-priced albums that I might also conceivably want. xD

Anyway, so here's what I ended up with today:

Natalie Merchant :: Tigerlily
I used to hear her music on local radio all the time while I was attending college and traveling to and from campus on a daily two-hours-plus bus trip. My interest has been rekindled by recent conversations with Baheena.
