Live From The Village Gate - Clark Terry

Advantages: Good strong voice, writes songs and plays instruments
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

...Terri Clark is one of those artists that just gets better every time you listen to her music. This CD is all about her different styles from what I call pop country on "Thats me not loving you" to a real country song on "Cure for the common heartache". The fact that Terri Clark can cover such a range of styles shows what a talented artist and songwriter she is. All of the songs on this CD can evoke a different mood when you listen to them, but put them together and you just sit back and enjoy the show. My personal favourites are "Everytime I cry" and "Unsung hero", but they are all good tracks in their own right. Terri Clark has been bypassed by the CMA as far as awards go because I don't think she is commercial enough in terms of record sales for them, but the lady can sing and thats all that matters to a fan.

Advantages: Lovely variation of styels of music (mainly electro and techno)
Disadvantages: I honelstly can't think of any - one of my favourite CD's!

...the techno mix but far more melodic with a very 80's feel to it. Very varied also - from the dark robotic noises of Anthony Rother to poppy lyrics from Mr Velcro fastener. Some of my favourite tracks on this disc are: 'Hand To Phone' - Adult 'Idioteque' - Radiohead 'Emerge'- Fisherspooner 'Simulationzeitalter' - Anthony Rother This album came about long before electro became popular so you've got to respect Dave Clarke for being ahead of his time. Both CD's are awesome - one of my favourite albums!

Advantages: Previously unreleased material!
Disadvantages: Now you all know about it!

...from the music world to become a computer programmer at the University of Chicago. At the start of the 90's Gilles Peterson & Russ Dewbury began to revive interest in ol' Tezza. Terry began performing in the UK and released his first album of new material here in London and interest in Terry was soon renewed, he began recording with the likes of Beth Orton, Koop and of course Massive Attack. OK, now you know a bit about Terry, we should really get into the album. For any of you Terry Callier fans already out there who do not own this album, you need to go out and buy it now. For anyone who has never heard of Terry Callier, this album is definitely the one to start your collection with! This is a "lost" album, on it, there are a number of different recordings, most of them live. It contains the original 8 track studio recording that got... Read review
