VINIL ECM Records Bill Frisell / Thomas Morgan: Small Town

2017 -
Bill Frisell - chitara electrica
Thomas Moran - contrabas

But, most importantly, Small Town represents the guitarist's first recorded encounter with Thomas Morgan in the intimate setting of a duo, the double bassist having first shown up on Frisell's film soundtrack homage, When You Wish Upon a Star (Okeh, 2016). As superb as When You Wish Upon a Star undeniably is, it's in the more naked, completely vulnerable environs of the duo—where the need for musical trust is, perhaps, at its most crucial—that the profound chemistry shared by these two thoroughly synchronized players becomes even clearer.

VINIL Universal Records Roxy Music - Avalon

1982

Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Neil Hubbard , Alan Spenner, Neil Jason , Andy Newmark

Lacquer Cut By – Miles Showell
Mastered By – Bob Ludwig


AllMusic: " "More Than This," "Take a Chance with Me," "While My Heart Is Still Beating," and the title track are immaculately crafted and subtle songs, where the shifting synthesizers and murmured vocals gradually reveal the melodies. It's a rich, textured album and a graceful way to end the band's career. "

VINIL Universal Records Beck - Odelay

1995

Lacquer Cut By – Bernard Grundman

Rolling Stone: "Like the Beasties, Beck is among the few white-boy hip-hop wanna-be’s with a clue. He truly understands the tenuous thread that connects funk to punk, hip-hop to art rock, and jazz to country blues, and is able to cram his encyclopedic knowledge of 20th-century musical styles into three- and four-minute nuggets of pure pop. But as “Loser” made clear, Beck’s avant-garde, mix-and-mingle approach is not just an intellectual exercise. When he chants, “I got two turntables and a microphone,” over a funky keyboard line and a midtempo drum track on Odelay’s “Where It’s At,” he does so with such giddy enthusiasm you can practically see him rifling through his electro-funk collection for the perfect Afrika Bambaataa groove. It’s nothing short of the sort of passionate fandom that emanates from Keith Richards’ country- and blues-inspired guitar licks on Exile on Main St. or from Bob Dylan’s Jack Kerouac-by-way-of-Woody Guthrie crooning on Highway 61 Revisited."

VINIL Universal Records Frank Zappa - Cruisin With Ruben & The Jets

1968

Frank Zappa, Ray Collins, Motorhead Sherwood, Roy Estrada, Don Preston, Bunk Gardner, Ian Underwood, Arthur Dyre Tripp III*, Jimmy Carl Black

Allmusic: "Frank Zappa loved '50s doo wop music. He grew up with it, collected it, and it was the first kind of pop music he wrote ("Memories of El Monte," recorded by the Penguins in 1962). Cruising with Ruben & the Jets, the Mothers of Invention's fourth LP, is a collection of such music, all Zappa originals (some co-written with MOI singer Ray Collins). To the unexperienced, songs like "Cheap Thrills," "Deseri," and "Jelly Roll Gum Drop" may sound like an average doo wop song. A closer look reveals unusual chord sequences, Stravinsky quotes, and hilariously moronic lyrics -- all wrapped in four-way harmony vocals and linear piano triplets."

VINIL Universal Records Peter Gabriel - Passion

1989

Music for The Last Temptation Of Christ, a film by Martin Scorsese

Recorded between February 1988 and March 1989 at Real World Studios, Box, England. Mastered at Town House Cutting Room.

45rpm Half-Speed Remaster - Includes Hi-Res Download Card

I was excited to be asked to work on the music. When I first discussed the project with Martin Scorsese in 1983 I wanted to find out how he was intending to film this controversial novel. He wanted to present the struggle between the humanity and the divinity of Christ in a powerful and original way, and I was convinced by his commitment to the spiritual content and message. He is an excellent and very musical director and working with him has been a great experience.
After we finished mixing the film there were some unfinished ideas that needed developing and I took some extra time to complete this record. There are several pieces that were not able to be included in the film and I felt that the record should be able to stand as a separate body of work. I chose the working title for the film - Passion.

VINIL Universal Records Peter Gabriel - Birdy

1985

Birdy - Music from the Film by Peter Gabriel - 2xLP 180 gram Vinyl - 45rpm Half-Speed Remaster, Numbered Limited Edition, Includes Hi-Res Download Card

AllMusic : "AllMusic : "Peter Gabriel's first foray into soundtracks was for Alan Parker's contemplative film Birdy and is a successful companion piece, providing a backdrop that is moody and evocative. Nearly half of the album's dozen tracks incorporate threads from material found on Gabriel's 1982 Security set, including "Close Up," which makes use of keyboard passages from "Family Snapshot," and "The Heat," which is a reworking of "The Rhythm of the Heat" and builds to a frenzied percussive crescendo.

VINIL Universal Records Genesis - Trespass

1970

Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips, Michael Rutherford, Anthony Banks, John Mayhew

Lacquer Cut By – Miles Showell

AllMusic: "Genesis' first truly progressive album, and their first record for the Charisma label (although Trespass was released in America by ABC, which is how MCA came to have it), is important mostly as a formative effort. Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, and Michael Rutherford are here, but the guitarist is Anthony Phillips and the drummer is John Mayhew. Gabriel, Banks, Phillips, and Rutherford are responsible for the compositions, which are far more ambitious than the group's earlier efforts ("Silent Sun," etc.). Unfortunately, much of what is here is more interesting for what it points toward than what it actually does -- the group reflects a peculiarly dramatic brand of progressive rock, very theatrical as music, but not very successful."

VINIL Universal Records Charlie Haden - Liberation Music Orchestra

1970

Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Perry Robinson, Don Cherry, Andrew Cyrille, Paul Motian, Gato Barbieri, Roswell Rudd, Mike Mantler, Carla Bley

A fascinating reissue that comfortably straddles the lines of jazz, folk, and world music, working up a storm by way of a jazz protest album that points toward the Spanish Civil War in particular and the Vietnam War in passing. Haden leads the charge and contributes material, but the real star here may in fact be Carla Bley, who arranged numbers, wrote several, and contributed typically brilliant piano work. Also of particular note in a particularly talented crew is guitarist Sam Brown, the standout of “El Quinto Regimiento/Los Cuatro Generales/Viva la Quince Brigada,” a 21-minute marathon.

VINIL Universal Records Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure

1973

Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, John Porter

Lacquer Cut By – Miles Showell
Mastered By – Bob Ludwig


AllMusic: " On Roxy Music's debut, the tensions between Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry propelled their music to great, unexpected heights, and for most of the group's second album, For Your Pleasure, the band equals, if not surpasses, those expectations. However, there are a handful of moments where those tensions become unbearable, as when Eno wants to move toward texture and Ferry wants to stay in more conventional rock territory; the nine-minute "The Bogus Man" captures such creative tensions perfectly, and it's easy to see why Eno left the group after the album was completed."

VINIL Universal Records Roxy Music - Manifesto

1979

Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera, Paul Thompson

Lacquer Cut By – Miles Showell
Mastered By – Bob Ludwig


AllMusic: " Returning to action after four years of solo projects, Roxy Music redefined its sound and agenda on Manifesto. More than ever, Roxy sounds like Bryan Ferry's backing band, as the group strips away its art rock influences, edits out the instrumental interludes in favor of concise pop songs, and adds layers of stylish disco rhythms. Although the songwriting is distressingly inconsistent, there are a number of wonderful moments on the record, particularly in the sighing "Angel Eyes" and the heartbroken "Dance Away." Still, trading sonic adventure for lush, accessible disco-pop isn't entirely satisfactory, even if it is momentarily seductive. "

VINIL Universal Records Roxy Music - Stranded

1973

Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera, Paul Thompson, Eddie Jobson

Lacquer Cut By – Miles Showell
Mastered By – Bob Ludwig


AllMusic: " Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less experimental, yet they remained adventurous, as Stranded illustrates. Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy moved toward relatively straightforward territory, adding greater layers of piano and heavy guitars. Even without the washes of Eno's synthesizers, Roxy's music remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new incarnation, they favor more measured material, whether it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting textures of "Psalm." Even the rockers, such as the surging "Street Life" and the segmented "Mother of Pearl," are distinguished by subtle songwriting that emphasizes both Ferry's tortured glamour and Roxy's increasingly impressive grasp of sonic detail.

VINIL Universal Records Genesis - ABACAB

1981

Mike Rutherford , Phil Collins, Tony Banks

Lacquer Cut By - Miles Showell

AllMusic : Duke showcased a new Genesis -- a sleek, hard, stylish trio that truly sounded like a different band from its first incarnation -- but Abacab was where this new incarnation of the band came into its own. Working with producer Hugh Padgham, the group escalated the innovations of Duke, increasing the pop hooks, working them seamlessly into the artiest rock here. And even if the brash, glorious pop of "No Reply at All" -- powered by the percolating horns of Earth, Wind & Fire, yet polished into a precise piece of nearly new wave pop by Padgham -- suggests otherwise, this is still art rock at its core, or at least album-oriented rock, as the band works serious syncopations and instrumental forays into a sound that's as bright, bold, and jagged as the modernist artwork on the cover.

VINIL Universal Records Genesis - Duke

1980

Mike Rutherford , Phil Collins, Tony Banks

Lacquer Cut By - Miles Showell

AllMusic : If And Then There Were Three suggested that Genesis were moving toward pop, Duke is where they leaped into the fray. Not that it was exactly a head-first leap: the band may have peppered the album with pop songs, but there was still a heavy dose of prog, as the concluding "Duke" suite made clear. This is modernist art rock, quite dissimilar to the fragile, delicate Selling England by the Pound, and sometimes the precision of the attack can be a little bombastic. Nevertheless, this is a major leap forward in distinguishing the sound of Genesis, the band, and along with a new signature sound come pop songs, particularly in the guise of "Misunderstanding" and "Turn It on Again." The first is a light, nearly soulful, heartache song, the latter is a thunderous arena rocker, and both showcase the new version of Genesis at its absolute best. The rest of the record comes close to matching them.

VINIL Universal Records Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left

It's little wonder why Drake felt frustrated at the lack of commercial success his music initially gathered, considering the help he had on his debut record. Besides fine production from Joe Boyd and assistance from folks like Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson and his unrelated bass counterpart from Pentangle, Danny Thompson, Drake also recruited school friend Robert Kirby to create most of the just-right string and wind arrangements. His own performance itself steered a careful balance between too-easy accessibility and maudlin self-reflection, combining the best of both worlds while avoiding the pitfalls on either side. The result was a fantastic debut appearance, and if the cult of Drake consistently reads more into his work than is perhaps deserved, Five Leaves Left is still a most successful effort.

VINIL Universal Records DAngelo - Voodoo

2000

Pitchfork: Twelve years since D'Angelo released his dirt-encrusted soul opus in the first month of the new millennium, we have yet to see a follow-up. Heard now on this 2xLP reissue, Voodoo still stands as a paranoid, mysterious, and challenging statement that somehow managed to scale the industry.

Billboard: The most important artists merge their unique, idiosyncratic visions with popular success. This is especially true of all the figures D'Angelo admires -- the people Questlove famously described as "Yoda's" in an interview with Toure (a group that includes James Brown, Al Green, Joni Mitchell, and Prince). Voodoo represents D's ticket into the Yoda club. The album pulled in two Grammy's, spawned a hit in "Untitled," and earned a platinum certification. It showed up on numerous critics' year-end-lists in 2000. In 2013, Bob Christgau wrote that Voodoo is "widely regarded as the greatest R&B album of the post-Prince era.
