Deaf School - What A Way To End It All (The Anthology) - 06-Aug-09 07:47 PM
"What A Way To Write A Review". Amidst a flood of promos at my college radio station, the double-album reissue of DS first two albums really caught my ear. From my seat in the US Midwest, the clever quick music and lyrics were refreshing and just the kind of release I could argue in favor of for hours. Even now, I got a kick out of scanning in the the CD insert "Goodbye, Cruel World, and Cheerio!" If you like that youll be hooked.
One down note, (like I said, "what a way to write a review"), as the liner notes state, one of the band members in an interview stated "we were the right band at the wrong time" or something like that. Yeah, late 1970s music market for radio and records was like that...
Roches, The - We Three Kings - 25-Jul-09 02:45 PM
I was a fan of the first Roches album, the three sisters and their harmonies were unique and engaging. While I lost track of their music over the years, when I saw this recording I bought it without hesitation, and was very pleased. You may think youve heard Christmas and winter seasonal music so much youre sick of it, yet the Roches here have managed to make each tune sound fresh, using their sophisticated vocal arrangements to lessen the role of the instruments. As the liner notes hint, these are the songs that as young children the first began collaborating on, and if you like any of their other recordings, its hard to go wrong with adding this to your collection. Its still a holiday favorite of mine after nearly two decades.
