As it's title amply conveys, `DND' is a compilation of electro and semi-industrial dance music from it's golden era, 1974 - 1986. The biggest problem it faces (and fails to overcome) is it's inherent lack of warmth and richness. I suppose it would take on a different ambience if you were listening to it in a sweaty club, waiting for Kraftwerk to come on, but these cuts laid out corpse-like on the slab, don't much engage the listener searching for aesthetic charge or stimuli. In short, it's bland and repetitive. And that's the genre as a whole, not just this compilation.
It begins strongly with Vivien Goldman's floating wasp of a song `Launderette', but it's a false dawn. The rest of `DND' is predictable and repetitious, tinny drum machines ... Read More: >>More Details |

Richard Bona's undubtely a natural attitude for music, 360° speaking. In this album, the bassist from Cameroon writes songs and melodies, plays guitar, keys, percussion, flute, and bass. Well, very LITTLE bass, actually. Known as Mike Stern's bass player and occasionally singer, Bona turns this routine upside down, leaving much more space to his voice than to his 4 strings. Being a bass player, I admit I was disappointed at first, hoping to hear more dum-du-du-dum, but play it twice and you can't help but relax with his native language lyrics, the afro-fusion groove, the neat sound of every instrument played in the whole album (featuring P. Metheny in the title track). Eventually, buy this album to chill out, to relax a bit, to feel ... Read More:

I was fortunate to see RTF in Glasgow at the time this album was released and most of the material on it was played at the gig so it was intreresting to compare the live and studio versions. I had heard a lot about Chic Corea but was most impressed by Stanley Clark who was not known to me before. His bass playng (both electric and accoustic) was one of the highlights of the concert. I bought the vinyl version at the gig but now prefer to cd version I picked up some years ago. It is an album I continue to play on a regular basis and still enjoy.

The other reviews here pretty much sum up what I wanted to say: this is perfect pop music from one of the most important and influential figures of all time. In my opinion, Phil Spector is just as crucial to the development of pop music as the Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys etc etc- if not more. The packaging of this box set is wonderful with a lovely book featuring complete lyrics, a couple of fantastic essays on Spector and his music, and lots of gorgeous pictures of both the man himself the artists he produced. The whole package is really lovingly assembled and it's great to see Spector and the artists finally getting the respect they deserve. If like me you're in love with this music and this era, this box set is a real treat. Some people have complained about ... Read More:

this package must represent one of the best musical deals around. I had all three in antique, though pristine vinyl, and I have never tired of their contents, from Peaches en Regalia right through to Blessed Relief. Hot Rats is perhaps the accepted classic, but is by no means the best of these three musical documents. The box does not skimp on the packaging, you get the three cds as if bought seperately with origional cover art for each, go get one today!

Weather Report was always the far most important band within the jazz-rock idiom, a fact that even becomes more clear in retrospect. In my opinion, all of the albums from 1974 through 1980 are all of them classics, each album paving the way for new types of musical expressions, influencing musicians worldwide. Out of this outstanding firmament, three of them shines even more: "Mysterious Traveller" (1974), "Heavy Weather" (1977) and "Night Passage" (1980). These are probably the faves among most hardcore Weather Report fans. On "Night Passage", the miraculous trio Zawinul, Shorter and Pastorius is followed by great drummer Peter Erskine, and the exciting percussionist Bobby Thomas Jr. This group was pure magic, I was lucky enough to see them in Oslo in oct 1980.

`Metheny/Mehldau'
`Metheny/Mehldau' makes a massive contribution to the discographies of each of its leaders and would be a welcome addition to the collections of fans of its participants. It is a balanced collection of tunes and would enthral all but the coldest heart. The solos taken by each musician on Mehldau's `Unrequited' have a purity that suggests through composition rather than improvisation. Mehldau is a delicate player and Metheny's own sensibilities are a matter of record but this meeting of like minds provides the listener with a fresh take on the guitar/piano duet. It is interesting to note the evident influence that Jim Hall has had on Metheny's playing. Hall, never an overly technical player, has always painted minimalistically, rather ...
