Yuja Wang has established herself as an international sensation. She plays with the world’s leading orchestras—including those of New York, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin—regularly joining them on tours of the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
On her eagerly expected new orchestral album she wows with two perennial hits: Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major and The Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D major. Both are heavily influenced by jazz, which Ravel had encountered on a concert tour of the United States in 1928. He composed both concertos between 1929 and 1930. The latter was commissioned by the Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm during World War I.
Yuja, young stellar conductor Lionel Bringuier and celebrated Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich are the perfect match to inflame Ravel’s vibrant sound. The melding of Yuja’s legendary technical skills with her interpretative intelligence transforms this album into a profound musical experience with a haunting and jazzy sound.

“Mystery and discovery invigorate me. This season I expand the horizons of my repertoire, exploring new forms of expression, the unknown. On one side there are the concerti by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Brahms and Beethoven. On the other, there’s Messiaen’s larger-than-life Turangalila, and Bartók—whom I sometimes think of as a sadistic mathematician. And to top it off: my new album, Ravel.” –Yuja Wang

The 1959 debut by alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman revolutionized the jazz world and quickly earned a reputation as one of the most important and controversial recordings of the era. Credited as a crucial work of early “free jazz,” the album featured a lineup of then up-and-coming jazz stars: trumpeter Don Cherry, pianist Walter Norris, bassist Don Payne, and drummer Billy Higgins.

Coleman would go on to become a titan of 20th Century music–the recipient of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Pulitzer Prize for music. Something Else!!! is simply an essential document of the jazz era–some of the most forward-leaning, progressive music ever put to tape.

This is exciting, courageous music that remains vital today. -Nat Hentoff, music critic

About the Mastering
Four engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London have remastered these historic EMI recordings from their original analogue sources for release in pristine hi-def. Between them, Simon Gibson, Ian Jones, Andy Walter and Allan Ramsay have many years of experience remastering archive recordings for EMI and other record labels. The process always starts with finding all of the records and tapes in EMI’s archive in London and comparing different sources and any previous CD reissues. We consult each recording’s job file, which contains notes about the recording made by the engineer and producer. For example, this sometimes explain why there is more than one set of tapes to choose from. All of the tapes are generally in good condition and we play them on our Studer A80 π inch tape machine, after careful calibration of its replay characteristics.
In order to have the best digital remastering tools at our disposal for the remastering, we transfer from analogue to the digital domain at 96 KHz and 24-bit resolution using a Prism ADA-8 converter and capture the audio to our SADiE Digital Audio Workstation.

…In his Haffner Symphony (No 35), Mozart deleted two movements of a previously written piece, made further minor emendations and produced this little masterpiece. The opening Allegro points the way to Klemperer’s approach to each of the three later works here which is as one would expect – serious, weighty and pointing towards Beethoven. The real skill comes from being weighty without being ponderous or losing the lightness inherent in Mozart. The delightful Andante – yet again one blesses the value of splitting the violins – the Minuet and Trio (wonderful balance), and a marvellously shaded Finale complete the opening symphony.
The Linz Symphony (No 36) was one of Mozart’s “written against the clock” pieces -there were so many in his short life – but the listener would never know. A slow introduction prefaces a steadily paced opening Allegro. The gently rocking Adagio that follows shows the quality of the original recording with its clarity in the inner parts. The Minuet and Trio point to rustic revelries rather than an elegant drawing room (lovely playing from the wind section) and in the Finale – played with tremendous dash – the trumpet parts add interesting variety. The exquisitely shaded contrasts between sections yet again show what a superb orchestra the Philharmonia was in its prime… Harry Downey, MusicWeb International

Bruce Springsteen – Working On A Dream (2009/2010)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 51:22 minutes | 603 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Master, Official Digital Download – Source: HDTracks | Artwork: Front cover | @ Columbia
Recorded between 2007-2008

At the end of the Magic sessions, Springsteen found himself still writing songs. Encouraged by producer Brendan O’Brien, he recorded during breaks on tour, exploring a classic pop sound for an album release coinciding with Super Bowl XLIII and the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Working on a Dream was Springsteen’s 16th studio album released under Columbia Records in 2009. The album reached number 1 on the Billboard 200, U.S. Rock albums and U.S. Digital Albums. The single, “The Last Carnival” pays tribute to E Street organist Danny Federici, who passed away in 2008.

From its bright, brittle production to its tossed-off postage stamp cover art, Working on a Dream is in every respect a companion piece to Magic, an album that’s merely a set of songs, both sprawling and deliberately small, songs that don’t necessarily tackle any one major theme but all add up to a portrait of their time. Magic chronicled the dog days of Bush where Working on a Dream is designed as a keynote to the Obama age, released just a week after the inauguration of the U.S.’s 44th president and not coincidentally containing not a little optimism within its 13 tracks. This sense of hope is a tonic to the despair that crept into the margins of Magic but it’s easy to posit Working on a Dream as pure positivity, which isn’t exactly true: a hangover from W lingers, most vividly in the broken spirit of “The Wrestler,” and Bruce mourning departed E Street Band member Danny Federici with “The Last Carnival.” Springsteen peppers his tribute with images recalling the early days of the E Street Band but saves a revival of their wild, woolly sound for the opening “Outlaw Pete,” a cavernous, circular, comical epic reminiscent of Springsteen’s unwieldy portraits of rats on the Jersey Shore. “Outlaw Pete” is Working on a Dream at its best, playing like nothing less than The E Street Shuffle as reflected and refracted through Arcade Fire’s naked hero worship, casually highlighting how producer Brendan O’Brien has gently nudged the Boss toward new musical avenues. Many of these new sounds are drawn from the past, often feeling informed by Little Steven’s Underground Garage – Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren’s guitars chime like the Byrds; the band knocks out a tough little blues number on “Good Eye”; and Springsteen shows a knack for pure pop on “Surprise, Surprise” and indulges his ever-increasing Brian Wilson fascination on “This Life,” whose percolating organs and harmonies rival the High Llamas. All this rests nicely alongside the Boss’ trademarks – galloping rockers that fill a stadium (“My Lucky Day”) and their polar opposite, his intimate acoustic tunes (“Tomorrow Never Knows”) – which all make Working on a Dream read like a rich, inventive, musical album…which it is, to an extent. The ideas and intent are there, but the album is hampered slightly by the overall modesty of Springsteen’s writing – by and large, these are small-scale songs and feel that way – and hurt significantly by the precise, digital production that muffles the music’s imagination and impact. A large part of Springsteen’s appeal has always been how the E Street Band has sounded as big and open as his heart, but Working on a Dream, like Magic before it, has a production that feels tiny and constrained even as it is layered with extraneous details. It’s possible to listen around this production and hear the modest charms of the songs, but the album would be better if the sound matched the sentiment.

Bruce Springsteen – Human Touch (1992/2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1kHz | Time – 00:57:59 minutes | 712 MB | Genre: Rock
Official Digital Download – Source: PonoMusic | ©  Columbia Records

Human Touch is the ninth studio album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on March 31, 1992. The album was co-released on the same day as Lucky Town. It was the more popular of the two, and it peaked at number two on the Billboard 200, with “Human Touch” (paired with Lucky Town’s “Better Days”) peaking at number one on the Album Rock Tracks chart and #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Bruce Springsteen has always been steeped in mainstream pop/rock music, using it as a vocabulary for what he wanted to say about weightier matters. And he has always written generic pop as well, though he’s usually given the results away to performers like Southside Johnny and Gary “U.S.” Bonds. Sometimes, those songs have been hits – think of the Pointer Sisters’ “Fire” or Bonds’ “This Little Girl Is Mine.” Occasionally, Springsteen has used such material here and there on his own albums; some of it can be found on The River, for example. But Human Touch was the first Bruce Springsteen album to consist entirely of this kind of minor genre material, material he seems capable of turning out endlessly and effortlessly – the point of “I Wish I Were Blind” is that the singer doesn’t want to see, now that his baby has left him; “57 Channels (And Nothin’ On)” is about TV; “Real Man” finds the singer declaring that, while he may not be an action hero like Rambo, he feels like a real man in his baby’s arms. And Springsteen, having largely jettisoned the E Street Band (keyboardist Roy Bittan remained), enlisted some sturdy minor talent to play and sing, among them ace studio drummer Jeff Porcaro (on one of his final recording sessions), Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, and Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. It’s pleasant enough stuff, and easy to listen to, but it is not the kind of record Springsteen had conditioned his audience to expect, and its release brought considerable disappointment. The reaction was exacerbated by the drawn-out release schedule that by 1992 had become common to superstars: this simply wasn’t the record Springsteen fans had waited four and a half years to hear. Though at nearly 59 minutes it was the longest single-disc album of his career (which is not even counting the fact that a second whole album was released simultaneously), and though it contained several songs that could have been big hits – the “Tunnel of Love” sound-alike title track, which actually made the Top 40, “Roll of the Dice,” an AOR radio favorite, “Man’s Job,” and even “Soul Driver,” which belonged on the next Southside album – Human Touch was an uninspired Bruce Springsteen album, his first that didn’t at least aspire to greatness. Springsteen may have put out the more substantial Lucky Town at the same time in recognition of the relatively slight nature of the material here.

Tracklist:
01 – Human Touch
02 – Soul Driver
03 – 57 Channels (And Nothin’ On)
04 – Cross My Heart
05 – Gloria’s Eyes
06 – With Every Wish

Cantate Domino: La Cappella Sistina e la musica dei Papi – Sistine Chapel Choir, Massimo Palombella (2015)

Recorded: Vatican, Sistine Chapel, 3 & 5/2015

Cantate Domino, a 2015 release on Deutsche Grammophon, is the first commercial studio recording of the Sistine Chapel Choir, led by Massimo Palombella, which has until now been heard only in live recordings of varying quality. The program is a mix of Gregorian chants and motets that have long been a part of the Sistine Chapel’s liturgical music, including works by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Orlande de Lassus, Felice Anerio, Tomás Luis de Victoria, and perhaps most famously, Gregorio Allegri, whose Miserere was once exclusively performed by the choir. This recording features the original fauxbourdon version of the Miserere, found in the Sistine Codex of 1661, which differs from later arrangements and adaptations in its austere simplicity and lack of abbellimenti or ornamentation, such as the famous “top C” passage which many might expect. The sound of the antiphonally divided choir may seem lopsided in this recording, since the remote singers are rather soft and distant in the chapel’s echoic acoustics, and the long reverberation time tends to blur their words, so following the enclosed text is helpful. ~~ AllMusic Review by Blair Sanderson

FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:01:25 minutes | 1 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Master, Official Digital Download – Source: highresaudio | @ Decca
Recorded: St Giles’ Cripplegate, London, 24 & 25 June 2015

Formed 900 years ago, the St Paul’s Cathedral Choir – one of the world’s most celebrated cathedral choirs – finally makes their debut on Decca with an album of traditional and brand new festive carols from the heart of London, under the direction of Andrew Carwood.
On this album, old and new sit side by side as classic carols in famous arrangements rub shoulders with new works such as Philip Stopford’s beautiful setting of the 16th Century Lully Lulla Lullay, and Graham Jordan Ellis’s captivating There Is No Rose which is rarely recorded. Other works new to Decca include the lively Carol of the Bells and John Rutter’s ravishing All Bells in Paradise.
The Cathedral of St Paul’s in London is among the world’s most recognised buildings, in the very heart of London. The Choir sings 7 services a week, added to which are televised UK state occasions held at St. Paul’s, ranging from the wedding of Charles and Diana to the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
In addition to its role at services in this world-famous Cathedral, the Choir frequently gives concerts and broadcasts, notably a 3-week, 7-state sell-out tour of the USA earlier in 2015.
St. Paul’s Cathedral Choir presents a survey of festive works: old favourites and mingle in a fine Christmas album perfect for the Festive Season. Featuring cherished carols from Classic FM’s annual “Nation’s Favourite Carols” poll as well as new discoveries making their first appearance on Decca.

Chaka Khan – C.K. (1988/2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/48 kHz | Time ~ 44:35 minutes | 535 MB | Genre: R&B, Soul, Funk, Disco
Official Digital Download – Source: HDTracks | Front Cover | © Rhino/Warner Bros.
Recorded: January-1988-September 1988

CK is the seventh studio album by American R&B/funk singer Chaka Khan, released on the Warner Bros. Records label in 1988.
CK was Khan’s first album not to be recorded with Arif Mardin, instead it had with the exception of two tracks Russ Titelman at the helm as producer, with whom she had collaborated on hits like “Ain’t Nobody” (1983), “Eye to Eye” from 1984’s platinum-selling I Feel for You as well as “Tight Fit” from her previous album Destiny. Musically CK combined a variety of genres such as soul, R&B, funk, pop as well as two jazz titles and altogether the set was more laid-back, less hip-hop influenced and production-wise not as complex and synth-driven as I Feel for You and Destiny.
Three singles were released from C.K.: Womack & Womack’s Latino-flavoured “It’s My Party” which reached #5 on Billboard’s R&B Singles chart, “Soul Talkin'” and “Baby Me” which became another Top 10 hit on the R&B chart, peaking at #8. The CK album itself also charted higher than the preceding Destiny, reaching #17 on the R&B Albums chart.
CK opens with Khan’s cover of Stevie Wonder’s 1970 hit “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours”, again featuring the composer himself on harmonica, just like on “I Feel for You”.
One of the two tracks not to be produced by Russ Titelman was the funky and improvisational “Sticky Wicked”, Khan’s first proper collaboration with Prince after having covered his “I Feel for You” in 1984 and turning it into a million-selling hit single. CK also includes a second Prince composition, “Eternity” (produced by David Frank and Khan herself), and some ten years later Khan and Prince were to team up for a full-length album together, Come 2 My House.
“CK” features one track written and co-produced by Chris Jasper, former member of the Isley Brothers, who was also responsible for writing and producing much of the Isley material from 1973 through 1984 before the Isley Brothers breakup. Jasper can also be heard singing background with Chaka on “Make It Last”.
CK features two recordings of jazz classics that since have become mainstays in Khan’s live repertoire, “The End of a Love Affair”, a tribute to Billie Holiday who first recorded the song on her 1958 album Lady in Satin, and Alec Wilder’s “I’ll Be Around”, the latter with a guest appearance by another legend in the jazz genre, Miles Davis, who in fact also features on the Prince track “Sticky Wicked”.

A first-class release, despite the fact that it didn’t pack the normal commercial punch. But it had excellent production, many outstanding selections, and uniformly dazzling, booming, triumphant vocals from Khan. She currently speaks with disdain about the record business, and it’s probably due to the relative failure of great records like this to break out and really enjoy the success they merit that’s disillusioned her. –AllMusic Review by Ron Wynn

Dean Martin – The Dean Martin Christmas Album (1966/2013)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 00:24:22 minutes | 514 MB | Genre: Pop,Holiday, Christmas
Studio Master, Official Digital Download – Source: Q0buz | Front Cover | @ Reprise Records

Mastered by Vic Anesini at Battery Studios from the best analog source available. This download version of 1966’s “The Dean Martin Chirstmas Album” is full of great songs. A devoted family man (despite his playboy image), Dino always adored Christmas. He was no doubt feeling nostalgic as he sang these, and you will, too, as you hear the King of Cool deliver “Silver Bells,” “Silent Night,” “Jingle Bells,” “White Christmas,” “Blue Christmas” and more!

The Dean Martin Christmas Album is a 1966 studio album by Dean Martin arranged by Ernie Freeman and Bill Justis. This was Martin’s only album of Christmas music released on Reprise Records (his only other Christmas album, A Winter Romance, having been released in 1959 on Capitol Records). It was reissued on CD by Hip-O Records in 2008, retitled A Very Cool Christmas.

Ricci James Martin, Martin’s son, wrote in a biography of his father that The Dean Martin Christmas Album was the only one of his father’s albums that was played in the Martin household, his parents seldom listening to Dean Martin’s music. This was the fourth of five albums Martin released in 1966. Billboard magazine reported in its December 3, 1966 issue that The Dean Martin Christmas Album was on top of its “Best Bets for Christmas” chart.

The release of The Dean Martin Christmas Album in October and The Dean Martin TV Show in November 1966 were accompanied by what Billboard described as a “merchandising avalanche” by Reprise Records and their parent company Warner Music. Billboard described Martin as running the “hottest streak of his career”, and said that Reprise planned to sell $4 million of his records over the Christmas sales period. Billboard later reported that Martin had sold 850,000 albums in December 1966. –Wikipedia

Natacha Kudritskaya is inviting us to a nocturnal stroll in this album. She brings us into this feeling of musical closeness that can only happen in the intimacy of the night. Each piece poised with restraint is a poetic moment, as if the artist was con ding into her silent auditors. “The night has always been both inspiring and frightening for humanity. For some it sparks mystery and evokes quietness, while for others it spawns a feeling of angst” explains Natacha, reminding us of this eternal duality between darkness and light. “The night inspires this dreadful sentiment that the sun might never rise again but it’s also a liberating moment, where we can let go of our social obligations and let our mind wander. This is what led me to imagine how we can gradually immerse ourselves into this profound darkness”.

December Celebration – New Carols by Seven American Composers (2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 56:33 minutes | 1,01 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Master, Official Digital Download – Source: highresaudio.com | @ Pentatone Music B.V.
Recorded: Skywalker Sound, San Rafael, California, US, December 2014

December holds in its hands many worlds of celebration as the month unfolds with Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas and the eve of the New Year. Over the centuries a great deal of music has marked this time of year, but very little has been added to the canon in recent decades. Gordon Getty inspired us with his composition of delightful new Christmas carols to invite a group of American composers to celebrate the season in music.
The result is a rich and tuneful recording of new holiday classics for you to share with your friends and families. We hope that you enjoy this festive and joyous music throughout the season and for many years to come.

Here is an interesting and refreshing CD for the holiday season. The disc is a cornucopia of new music by active and well-known composers. The sound, to start with, is pure Pentatone multichannel splendor, and Gordon Getty, one of their house composers, is to be congratulated for compiling this set of lovely music. This is not blow-you-away Christmas music; it’s not even all Christmas, but “seasonal”. Mostly it is reflective and rather sentimental, and I’ll admit to being a little disappointed with Adamo’s The Christmas Life and Heggie’s On the Road to Christmas. The latter especially, being one of the most gifted lyrical composers I know of, seems to put the gears in neutral in his cycle of interesting texts (including those by Frederica von Stade and Emily Dickinson!) with songs that circle the so-so wagon, devoid of real punch. The Joan Morris and William Bolcom piece is cute and makes a nice filler.

Things really pick up with the Luna Pearl Woolf song for baritone, treble chorus, harp, percussion, and string orchestra. This is a sparkling bit of musical poetry (having to do with the winter solstice) that far surpasses the rather bloated text. Getty’s own contribution, for women’s chorus and chamber orchestra, dominates, quality-wise, everything on this disc, even though David Garner’s gorgeous Three Carols for soprano, baritone, oboe, frame drum, and strings contains a substantial and intricate O magnum mysterium that is superlative in every way. Though I liked it, Corigliano’s Christmas at the Cloisters proves a tad jarring with its loud use of a Hammond organ, but a balm is quickly applied with Getty’s fine arrangement of Silent Night that closes out the disc. All in all, this is easily assimilated new music of a very high quality, perfect for this time of the year. —Steven Ritter, Audiophile Audition

Denise Donatelli – Find a Heart (2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/44,1 kHz | Time ~ 57:43 minutes | 659 MB | Genre: Jazz
Official Digital Download – Source: HDTracks | Front Cover | © Savant Records
Recorded: 2015 , 2016 Grammy Nominees

Denise Donatelli is a mesmerizing jazz vocalist, in command of her expressive instrument while offering her heart and soul with each note. Joined by a company of Los Angeles jazz session players, Donatelli takes the forefront with style and panache, providing illuminating vocals that gently walk the line between energetic jazz-singing and luminous balladry. She accomplishes a warm balance with her singing, offering something for everyone. There is a thread of kind-heartedness and sincerity running throughout the diverse and unique set list, which allows a true sense of artistry to emerge at any tempo or dynamic level. Featuring the arranging talents of Geoffrey Keezer once again and the artistry of Brazilian guiartist Leonardo Amuedo, Jay Leno drummer Marvin “Smitty” Smith and others, Denise Donatelli delivers one elegantly beautiful jazz album.

Multi Grammy nominee vocalist Denise Donatelli, unveils another gem of an album with the much-anticipated Find A Heart, collaborating once again with producer/arranger, pianist Geoffrey Keezer documenting a surprisingly new direction for the singer as she ventures into the non-standards area. The Great American Songbook will always be with us, here to stay forever as new re-interpretations of classics emerge every day. This project finds the vocalist and pianist exploring new territory as they take the music of modern pop and jazz masters like Sting, David Crosby and Russell Ferrante among others, and ask the question, Isn’t it time for new standards?

One thing clearly evident on this album is, the superb cast of players that make the instrumentation such a pleasure to hear which features an all-star personnel listing that includes Brazilian guitarist Leonardo Amuedo, Cuban bassist Carlitos del Puerto, drummer Marvin “Smitty” Smith and Canadian saxophonist Christine Jensen among them. The evolution of The Great American Songbook begins with the Donald Fagen composition “Big Noise, New York” featuring an opening blast from saxophonist great Bob Sheppard before the sparkling vocals of the leader take over on what is a burning beginning to a heck of an album.

The singer finds her softer side on Ferrante’s beautiful love ballad, “Love and Paris Rain” with a little help from guitarist Amuedo then jumps into a lively tempo on Keezer’s own “Spaced Out (En Babia)” before returning to a gentler mood on the absolutely gorgeous “Practical Arrangement” accompanied by the magic horn of Chris Botti and the soft guitar work from Amuedo. Keezer’s arrangement of the Crosby title track, turns this pop tune into a true jazz number with a touch of the Latin flavor.

Keezer and Donatelli draw on a small string section of cello and violas to convey the trials and tribulations of a “Troubled Child” and call on bassist del Puerto and percussionist Walter Rodriguez to weigh in with brisk haunting solos as the singer’s crisp voice reaches and beckons the child with a little help of background vocalists Yutaka Yokokura, and Julia Dollison.

Interestingly enough, while the mission of this venture is still, to offer different songs from more recent times as possible new standards for the future, Donatelli closes the album with heartfelt emotion paying humble respect to current standards with superior renditions of “Midnight Sun,” and Billy Strayhorn’s “Day Dream.” Find A Heart is simply put, an outstanding vocal recording that takes Denise Donatelli’s performance to another level. –Edward Blanco, All About Jazz

Devendra Banhart – Mala (2013)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/48 kHz | Time ~ 40:32 minutes | 435 MB | Genre: Alternative
Official Digital Download – Source: HDTracks | Digital Booklet | © Nonesuch

Mala is Devendra Banhart’s enthralling debut on Nonesuch Records. The album took shape in Los Angeles, where the singer-songwriter collaborated with longtime friend, Noah Georgeson. The pair played most of the instruments themselves, using borrowed equipment and a recorder they found in a pawn shop. Mala has already received four-star reviews from Mojo, Q, The Times and The Independent. It’s a “career-best” raved Q Magazine.

At a certain point, the path got stranger for Devendra Banhart. Appearing out of nowhere in the early 2000s with a string of almost accidentally perfect albums, Banhart’s haunted voice and familiar impressions of the ghosts of folksingers past pushed him to the forefront of what would be dubbed freak folk. Along with Joanna Newsom and the then-acoustic trip-outs of Animal Collective, Little Wings, Jana Hunter, and a host of other weirdos, Banhart produced effortlessly sublime songs, connected to a sense of earthy wonder and romanticism. Without losing his mojo completely, Banhart’s albums became increasingly meandering and protracted as he went on, with efforts like 2007’s Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon rambling tiresomely and 2009’s What Will We Be feeling both manic and boringly predictable at once. With Mala, Banhart doesn’t quite return to the lo-fi brilliance of his beginnings or continue the overwrought leanings of his most previous work, but somehow finds a way to refreshingly split the difference. Since 2005’s Cripple Crow, Banhart has dabbled in different genres over the course of a single album, often with mixed results. Mala is no different. Beginning with the dark song fragments “Golden Girls” and “Daniel,” he quickly shifts the mood from these eerie Vincent Gallo-esque moments of heartbreak to the icy muted electronics and zombie disco posturing of “Fur Hildegard Von Bingen.” Standout track “Your Fine Petting Duck” rides a cookie-cutter ’50s doo wop chord progression, with boy/girl back-and-forth lyrics setting a scene where a deadbeat boyfriend lists the reasons he was so awful for the girl trying to get back together with him. Elsewhere, Banhart experiments playfully with tropicalia, chilled-out beats, instrumental interludes, and disjointed electronics. “Won’t You Come Over” borrows a synth riff from reggae-poppers Althea & Donna’s classic “Uptown Top Ranking,” the no-fidelity underwater power pop of “Hatchet Wound” sounds like Ariel Pink stopped by to co-produce (he didn’t), and “Won’t You Come Home” sprawls out with all the gorgeous airiness of Talk Talk. Instead of the overreaching, overly long confusion of previous efforts, Mala streamlines Banhart’s multifaceted muse, and the songs all fit together, if in a somewhat roundabout manner. Apart from the increased cohesion, the quality of the songwriting is far higher, reminding us of the astonishing promise and tossed-off ease of Banhart’s early material, and suggesting that his detours into less exciting sounds were just part of a journey that might be much longer and more rewarding than expected. –AllMusic Review by Fred Thomas

Elle King – Love Stuff (2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 00:42:19 minutes | 486 MB | Genre: Alternative, Indie
Studio Master, Official Digital Download  – Source: Q0buz | @ RCA Records Label

Love Stuff is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Elle King. The album was recorded at various studios throughout the United States, and was mixed at Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village. Mastered by Stephen Marcussen at Marcussen Mastering.

Existing at the intersection of the two major retro-roots movements of the new millennium – the beehived, swinging ’60s soul of Amy Winehouse and the bluesy roar of the White Stripes – Elle King’s debut, Love Stuff, feels like a record that should’ve happened prior to 2015. Surprisingly, King is the only musician to mine this territory but she’s not quite stuck in the past, whether that means the 20th century source or the canny revivals of Winehouse and Jack White. She knows enough to thread in some echoes of the big-footed folk stomp of Mumford & Sons (not to mention a banjo she proudly brandishes in all her publicity material), a sound that comes to a crest on “America’s Sweetheart.” There, King claims she’s not America’s Sweetheart and she spends a good chunk of Love Stuff putting on those aggressive airs, swanning about like a spunky spitfire, a mean girl who goes where the devil don’t go. A little of this rough-and-tumble schtick goes a long way, as do King’s occasionally overheated vocals – she works hard to prove she’s tough and her eager swagger proves exhausting over the long haul. That said, what works on Love Stuff has considerable charm. When King walks a fine line between rock crunch and soul testifying, there’s some fire: the swinging fuzz of “Ex’s & Oh’s,” the spooky slow-grind of “Under the Influence,” the blues stumble of “Last Damn Night” and “Jackson,” where she ties all these sounds together. Such highlights suggests that when Elle King doesn’t have to try so hard to prove her bona fides, she might wind up with a record that’s hard to deny. For now, she merely has a promising debut on her hands.

Fleetwood Mac – Tusk (1979) [Deluxe Edition 2015]

Fleetwood Mac builds on its formidable legacy as one of rock’s most legendary acts as they re-visit their most ambitious album with a deluxe edition of TUSK. Originally released in 1979, the Grammy® Award-nominated, double-album sold more than four million copies worldwide, climbed to #4 on the US album charts, and introduced fans to hits like “Sara,” “Think About Me,” and the title track.

TUSK (DELUXE EDITION) delves deep into the vaults with five CDs including the remastered original album, an alternate version of the complete album made up of session outtakes, most of which have never been released, as well as an additional selection of singles, demos and remixes, including an outtake of “Think About Me,” an early version of “That’s Enough For Me” called “Out On The Road,” plus several incarnations of “I Know I’m Not Wrong.”

More than any other Fleetwood Mac album, Tusk is born of a particular time and place – it could only have been created in the aftermath of Rumours, which shattered sales records, which in turn gave the group a blank check for its next album. But if they were falling apart during the making of Rumours, they were officially broken and shattered during the making of Tusk, and that disconnect between bandmembers resulted in a sprawling, incoherent, and utterly brilliant 20-track double album. At the time of its release, it was a flop, never reaching the top of the charts and never spawning a true hit single, despite two well-received Top Ten hits. Coming after the monumental Rumours, this was a huge disappointment, but the truth of the matter is that Fleetwood Mac couldn’t top that success no matter how hard they tried, so it was better for them to indulge themselves and come up with something as unique as Tusk. Lindsey Buckingham directed both Fleetwood Mac and Rumours, but he dominates here, composing nearly half the album, and giving Christine McVie’s and Stevie Nicks’ songs an ethereal, floating quality that turns them into welcome respites from the seriously twisted immersions into Buckingham’s id. This is the ultimate cocaine album – it’s mellow for long stretches, and then bursts wide open in manic, frantic explosions, such as the mounting tension on “The Ledge” or the rampaging “That’s Enough for Me,” or the marching band-driven paranoia of the title track, all of which are relieved by smooth, reflective work from all three songwriters. While McVie and Nicks contribute some excellent songs, Buckingham owns this record with his nervous energy and obsessive production, winding up with a fussily detailed yet wildly messy record unlike any other. This is mainstream madness, crazier than Buckingham’s idol Brian Wilson and weirder than any number of cult classics. Of course, that’s why it bombed upon its original release, but Tusk is a bracing, weirdly affecting work that may not be as universal or immediate as Rumours, but is every bit as classic. As a piece of pop art, it’s peerless.

Emily West – All For You (2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 37:13 minutes | 433 MB | Genre: Pop
Studio Master, Official Digital Download  – Source: HDTracks | @ Portrait/Sony Masterworks

Emily West’s first release with Sony Masterworks, and her first after finishing as runner-up on the 2014 season of America’s Got Talent, All for You opens with a refined cover of Sia’s “Chandelier,” a song she performed on the talent competition show. Other covers from the show include the Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satan,” the Phil Phillips classic “Sea of Love,” and Roy Orbison’s “You Got It.” Tenderly delivered, and mostly piano/keys- and strings-accompanied ballads, West leaves behind the country of her early releases and opts for a more classic pop vocal delivery. She’s joined by Cyndi Lauper on a duet version of “True Colors,” and the album’s four original tunes include the Billie Holiday-haunted “Fallen,” co-written with K.S. Rhoads (Kris Allen, Katie Herzig). –AllMusic Review by Marcy Donelson
