Advantages: superb singer songwriter
Disadvantages: takes a little patience to listen too

This album from 1991 saw Joni Mitchell and her ex-husband Larry Klein in the producer’s chair, for her first release in the 90’s. The album opens with the atmospheric title track written in 1988 “Night ride home”. The impression of the night is conveyed to the listener by the use of a sound sample, which is that of chirping cicadas, the sound effect runs for the whole length of the song. This sound is what holds all the instruments used on the track along with the signature sound of Joni’s acoustic guitar playing style. At the start of the track along with the opening lines “Once in a while, in a blue moon, there comes a night like this, like some surrealist, invented this, 4th of July, night ride home” as the artist finishes this line the sublime bass playing of Larry Klein begins adding ...

Review of Drawn To Life (Nintendo DS)

THE THRESHOLD OF THINGS TO COME - MB3 RE-RELEASED

Advantages: Foretold their development and their record label
Disadvantages: Perhaps not of immediate appeal but it will draw you in

as separate entities. 16 has an alternative voice part by Ray Thomas. 19, 20 were recorded live for John Peel's programme "Top Gear" from February 1969. 21, 22 were a session recorded for the BBC programme "The Tony Brandon Show" in April 1969. THE TECHNOLOGY As before I now have copies of both versions of this album in my collection. The disc is a dual layer hybrid CD. The universally accessible layer contains the Stereo CD mix. I have to admit that even this version played into the inputs of a Dolby 5:1 capable amplifier produces a remarkable clarity of sound and a pleasing three dimensional ambiance to the performance. My current equipment, a Denon 2800 player, is not equipped with SACD circuitry. The SACD layer has the version from the 1972 quadraphonic master tapes remixed into a full surround sound output. I have my ...
