Tamara Smolyar – Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea: Music for Piano (2019)

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Digital Booklet, Front Cover | © Toccata Classics

Piano music forms a large part of the output of the Romanian composer Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea (born 1959), as you would expect of someone who has been playing the instrument since she was four. This first album of her music reveals a latter-day Impressionist, sensitive to half-light and petal-delicate tonal colour – but she can also generate powerful surges of energy, and her musical portrait of Charlie Chaplin testifies to an impish sense of humour.

Tamara Smolyar, born in Kiev, began her formal piano lessons at the age of four, gave her first public performance at seven and enjoyed a glittering early career in the Soviet Union. From 1994 to 2018 she was a Senior Lecturer in Music Performance, Coordinator of Piano, at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music at Monash University, Melbourne. She is currently a member of the piano staff at the Australian Guild of Music, Mentone Girls Grammar School and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne.

Livia Teodorescu-Ciocanea, born in Galati, eastern Romania, in 1959, studied piano at the Porumbescu Conservatoire (now the National University of Music) in Bucharest in 1977 and graduated in 1981 with a Bachelor degree in Composition. In 1995 she was appointed assistant professor at the National University of Music in Bucharest, teaching form and analysis and orchestration. In 1997 she became a lecturer, and between 2004 and 2015 she worked as an Associate Professor in composition, form and analysis. In 2015 she was appointed Professor of Composition at the same institution.

NEWLY REWORKED SELECTED CLASSICS BY THE 2020 LINE-UP OF THE LEGENDARY PIONEERS OF ELECTRONICA AND AMBIENT Including “Phaedra”, “Stratosfear”, “Tangram” and “Yellowstone Park”

Tangerine Dream have been a fundamental influence on electronic music since Edgar Froese founded the band in West Berlin, 1967. Providing the groundwork for multiple electronic music genres including ambient and electronica, inspiring musicians and other art forms, from The Future Sound of London to Porcupine Tree, the widely popular TV show ‘Stranger Things’ (for which their music also featured in) to seminal video game ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (for which they helped to write the soundtrack). The group have also received seven Grammy nominations, written over 100 studio albums and were led by Froese, who developed an instantly recognisable synth-based instrumental music based on a meditative musical experience that came to prominence in the 70’s and 80’s. Fast-forward to the present day, when popular culture is rediscovering synthesizers and sequencers, and Tangerine Dream are in the mix of an exciting time for an evolving electronic music scene.

Modern Tangerine Dream has seen the beginning of ‘The Quantum Years’, which began as a concept and series of musical sketches by Froese before he passed away in 2015. Remaining band members Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss and Hoshiko Yamane worked together to realize Edgar’s visions and expectations of a conceptual body of work that attempts to translate quantum philosophy into music. The new direction led to the 2017 album ‘Quantum Gate’, which was described by The Guardian as their “most interesting release in years.”

With ‘Recurring Dreams’, the new generation of Tangerine Dream pay homage to the band’s timeless beginnings with captivating and emotional renditions of selected classics, such as “Phaedra”, “Stratosfear”, “Tangram” and “Yellowstone Park”. These new recordings are not just re-recorded covers but heartfelt and individual interpretations, featuring all generations of synths and sequencers, added layers and new arrangements, applying Froese’s new quantum dream to these highly influential tracks. Recurring Dreams also includes the new version of “Claymore Mine Stalking” that was used in the popular 2018 black metal movie ‘Lords of Chaos’.

Tracklist:
01. Sequent ‘C’ 2019 (2:27)
02. Monolight (Yellow Part) 2019 (7:40)

Tanya Tucker – While I’m Livin’ (2019)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/96 kHz | Time – 34:48 minutes | 709 MB | Genre: Country
Studio Master, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Fantasy

A country star since 1972, when she was just 13, Tanya Tucker shines bright on her 25th studio album — produced with great reverence by Shooter Jennings and Brandi Carlile, and featuring an abundance of songs written by the latter. Indeed, the most apt description is that “While I’m Livin’” sounds like a Tanya Tucker record in the hands of Brandi Carlile: at turns tough and tender, moody and simple, and rocking and deep in its country roots. Tucker’s voice wears years of hard living, but it’s beautiful: sassy and strutting on the honkytonk “I Don’t Owe You Anything,” strong and independent on the hymn-like “Seminole Wind Calling.” She even evokes Tom Waits on the spare “High Ridin’ Heroes,” utterly convincing as she reminunates on going from “Ridin’ that hot streak” to “fallin’ off the wagon and under the wheels.” When she turns that voice to a cover of “The House That Built Me,” made famous by Miranda Lambert but told here from the mother’s point of view rather than the child’s, it’s nothing less than stunning.

Tracklist:
1. Mustang Ridge
2. The Wheels Of Laredo
3. I Don’t Owe You Anything
4. The Day My Heart Goes Still
5. High Ridin’ Heroes
6. The House That Built Me
7. Hard Luck
8. Rich
9. Seminole Wind Calling
10. Bring My Flowers Now

The B-52’s – Cosmic Thing (30th Anniversary Expanded Edition Remastered) (2019)

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Rhino – Warner Records

The B-52s are celebrating yet another anniversary this year – the 30 years since the release of their mega-album, “Cosmic Thing.”

Mention the phrase “Love Shack” and anyone you’re talking to will immediately know to what you’re referencing. Few songs stick in the brain with such lasting power, fond memories, and sing-a-long potential as the B-52’s blissful 1989 smash, one of the many moments that make the band’s Cosmic Thing such a timeless affair. The group’s melodies were never sharper, its vibes never as carefree, and attitude as joyous as on this multi-platinum affair that stayed on the charts for more than a year.

This HighResAudio ReMaster dazzles with glorious textures, deeper low-end frequencies, more pronounced midrange information, and enhanced vocal dynamics absent from prior editions. Especially noticeable is the additional color and sense of rhythmic involvement in the already-persuasive pop-rock tunes, guaranteed to lighten any mood and ignite any celebration.

Urging listeners to “roam around the world” on one of the two Top 5 singles here, the B-52’s follow their own instructions, constructing lively fare assembled from quirky riffs, bizarre albeit smooth harmonies, strident lead vocals, jagged tempos, and infectious choruses. At heart, Cosmic Thing is a dance-your-ass-off soiree. Leader Fred Schneider delights in kitsch, his deliveries combining goofy pronouncements and half-rapped words that speak the co-ed ensemble’s long tradition of originality, flair, campiness, and irreverence.

Better still is the band’s embrace of a shinier, funkier sound established by producers Don Was and Nile Rodgers. The production, exponentially improved on this reissue, complements the upbeat energy, well-crafted songwriting, and emotional exuberance demonstrated on everything ranging from the kick-starting “Bushfire” to rambunctious “Junebug” to wild, weird, and wonderful “Love Shack.”

The B-52’s spent the last part of the ‘70s and the first half of the ‘80s as one of the coolest, goofiest groups around, forging a solid reputation as a fun-time party band through such singles as “Rock Lobster,” “Private Idaho,” and so on down the line, but with the death of founding member Ricky Wilson in 1985, their future was in serious doubt…although – as Kate Pierson told the Onion A.V. Club in 2011, “Nobody ever said, ‘Never again.’” As such, Pierson, Fred Schneider, Keith Strickland, and Cindy Wilson eventually regrouped with a very tentative plan to try writing some new material, not really focusing on anything other than seeing if they could even make it work.

“When we started getting together to write, we realized it was healing – incredibly healing – but it also conjured up the presence of Ricky,” said Pierson, in her A.V. Club interview. “And we started—I don’t want to call it nostalgia, because I don’t think we were maudlin or anything, but we started thinking about early times in Athens, like ‘Deadbeat Club,’ and things just started flowing. Keith, of course, had to take over all the guitar-playing and everything, so he went through a major transition. He’d always played guitar with Ricky and could play a lot of instruments, but to have the whole thing on his shoulders? I think it was a challenge, but one that he rose amazingly to and started just writing this amazing music. And when we jammed, things just started flowing out, because we had all this emotion and stuff that was locked inside, and it became this wonderful healing thing. We never intended to make ‘Love Shack’ this major party song. It just came out that way. Cosmic Thing just kind of came flowing out during the jam. We kind of had to put the pieces together, like a puzzle or a collage, but when we did, it just clicked.”

There are hundreds of references to music in the works of Shakespeare. Shakespeare’s music can be placed into three general categories:

Incidental Music: The individual titles of incidental music in Shakespeare’s works are never named but the directions “music here,” “music begins,” “music for dancing,” etc. are provided.

Literary References: Shakespeare refers to the music, music theory, and instruments of the time within the text of his works. A humorous example is found in the names of the musicians Peter confronts in Romeo and Juliet: Hugh Rebec, Simon Catling and James Soundpost.

Songs: Specific songs are included for performance in the text of Shakespeare’s plays. Shakespeare authored the lyrics to some of these songs but also incorporated popular songs known to his contemporary audiences. The plays did not include notation of the tunes of these songs. However, we are certain that Robert Johnson’s settings for “Full Fathom Five” and “Where the Bee Sucks” are the same as when originally performed in The Tempest. Johnson is well documented as Shakespeare’s composer. For the other songs on the recording we are using the earliest surviving versions – both published and from manuscript – which are contemporary with Shakespeare’s productions. These include, “It Was a Lover and his Lasse,” “Farewell, Dear Love,” “When Griping Grief,” “Gravedigger’s Song,” and “Willow Song.”

Founded in 1980 to perform the instrumental music of Shakespeare’s time, The Baltimore Consort has explored early English, Scottish, and French popular music, focusing on the relationship between folk and courtly art song, and dance. Their interest in early music of English/Scottish heritage has also led them to delve into the rich trove of traditional music preserved in North America. Seventeen recordings on the Dorian and Sono Luminus labels have earned them recognition as Top Classical-Crossover Artist of the Year (Billboard), as well as rave reviews elsewhere. Besides touring in the U.S. (all but two states) and abroad (Austria, Canada, Germany, The Netherlands, and Scotland), they often perform on such syndicated radio broadcasts as St. Paul Sunday, Performance Today, Harmonia and the CBC’s OnStage. They have also enjoyed many teaching residencies at K-12 schools, as well as at the Madison Early Music Festival, and other university engagements.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Janus Records

This album collects all of the highlights from the Detroit Emeralds’ ’70s recordings, including the U.K. hits ‘Feel the Need in Me,’ ‘You Want It You Got It’ and ‘I Think of You,’ making it the definitive career overview of this underrated soul group. Anyone who boogied through the disco era will remember the tune ‘Feel The Need’ – it’s right up there with ‘I Will Survive’, ‘We Are Family’, and – dare I say it – ‘YMCA’, as one of just a handful of true mirror-ball anthems. What’s more it’s still played today. You can hear it in discerning clubs where the 70s feel still rules. The funky brass stabs and shimmering strings of ‘Feel The Need’ are a sure guarantee to get the punters off the wall and on their feet. But ask those self same punters to name the band responsible for this epic piece of dance floor magic and they’d probably be at a complete loss. More’s the pity ‘cos the band – The Detroit Emeralds – were more than just one hit disco wonders! This new 24 tracker is an attempt to put the record straight – it contains no less than 11 tracks which were hits in some shape or form both in the UK and in the US, some classy B-sides, a slew of sophisticated album tracks and, to complete the picture, two unreleased gems!

Real soul fans know, of course, that the Detroit Emeralds have a long, checkered and sometimes incestuous history. The Emeralds were essentially the brothers Abe and Ivory Tilmon and childhood friend James Mitchell. They began their recording career with Detroit’s semi-legendary Ric Tic label but when Ric Tic folded the band eventually signed with Westbound. Touring in Memphis the boys eventually cut some tracks in Willie Mitchell’s famous studio. The Memphis rough-cuts had vocals and sweetening added in Detroit and the result was the band’s first real hit – ‘If I Lose Your Love’. Westbound clearly thought they had found a winning formula and this strange hybrid method of recording was repeated again and again to produce a sound for the group that combined the down-home funk of Memphis with the sophisticated soul of Detroit. This GREATEST HITS set perfectly captures that unique sound. Hit followed hit and egos got bigger. By 1974, however, the group had started to fall apart, with two versions of the band on the road at one time! Different combinations of the group gigged and recorded throughout the 70s. Sadly Abe Tilmon died of a heart attack in 1982, and other band members eventually retiring. This new compilation is a testimony to what the Emeralds were at their peak – an all-round first-rate vocal harmony soul group – oh and yes – ‘Feel The Need’ is included here – twice!

The 1985 album from the country supergroup of Merle, Johnny, Kris and Willie that lived up to all expectations. „Highwayman“, consisting of ten tracks, was released as a follow-up to the successful single of the same name and the title track of the album itself. ‘Highwayman’, a Jimmy Webb cover, hit the top of the country charts and was followed up by the Top 20 hit ‘Desperados Waiting for a Train’, whose original version was released by Guy Clark.

„These old friends have appeared together in various combinations, but never as effectively as on the epic title song here, written by Jimmy Webb. And the rest of the record, including Guy Clark’s ‘Desperados Waiting for a Train’ and Woody Guthrie’s ‘Deportee,’ lives up to the leadoff hit.“ (William Ruhlmann, AMG)

The Lafayette Afro Rock Band, aka Ice, were an American funk band formed in Roosevelt, Long Island, New York and relocated to Paris, France in 1970 where they recorded with legendary French producer Pierre Jaubert. Almost unknown in their native United States during their recording career, but have since become a huge cult sensation and are now universally celebrated as one of the standout funk bands of the 1970s and are one of the most sampled bands ever by the biggest names in rap, hip-hop, and EDM. The Lafayette Afro Rock Band has been sampled by Public Enemy, Jay-Z, LL Cool J, Wreckx ‘n’ Effect, Ice Cube, Gorillaz, Biz Markie, N2Deep, The Beatnuts, Kruder & Dorfmeister Pizzicato Five, DJ Q-Bert and Flying Lotus, just to name a few.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Point Of Departure

An amorphous musical collective put together by Rich Machin and Duke Garwood, with a rolling cast of players assembled from the likes of Soulsavers, Spiritualized, Stereolab and Julian Cope. For Machin, Garwood and the other musicians, a sense of adventure and devil-may-care inventiveness took precedence over precise design when they started the recording process. Over the course of a week, tracks were worked upon, honed or discarded. Everything was recorded live. There was no splicing of takes, as that would have defeated the concept.

Founded by guitarist Duke Garwood and Soulsavers’ Rich Machin, Quiet Temple is a loose-knit, slipstream instrumental collective named for a Mal Waldron composition immortalized by Donald Byrd and Booker Little. The rolling cast includes players who have worked with various bands over the past two decades and sometimes together. The roster includes saxophonist Ray Dickaty (Stereolab, Spiritualized); keyboardist Tim Lewis (aka Thighpaulsandra — Spiritualized and Julian Cope), drummer Paul May, bassist Peter Marsh (both Woven Entity), and guitarist Tony “Doggen” Foster (Julian Cope, Spiritualized, Brain Donor). Their music crisscrosses genres from psych and post-punk to left-field jazz, steamy dub, kosmiche, and even Krautrock. These six instrumentals were created by the group in the studio, though various boilerplate aesthetic ideas were brought in by Garwood and Machin, including three very different jazz reference recordings for the sessions: Larry Young’s Lawrence of Newark, Marcus Belgrave’s Gemini, and Noah Howard’s The Black Ark. The jams here are articulated by feel and texture. Guide riffs and vamps are played repetitively, establishing hypnotic grooves, while dynamics and tensions are (mostly) controlled — even during improvisations and solos. The set’s first track and preview single, “The Last Opium Den (On Earth),” and its successor, “The Bible Black,” offer traits similar to those of other instrumental acts such as Playgroup (an early On-U Sound studio ensemble), Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, and Bohren & der Club of Gore, but these tunes both eventually move further afield. In “Shades of Gemini,” referencing Belgrave’s classic 1974 album, Marsh’s dubwise bassline intersects with keyboards and drop-beat Motorik drumming while Dickaty’s multitracked tenor sax provides a modal sketch and soaring solos punctuated by squalling twinned electric guitars. Almost ten minutes long, it emerges fully formed but doesn’t really conclude. It’s only when the dark, post-punk “X-Rated” — that simultaneously recalls Basement 5, Weather Report’s early sinister early moments, and Can’s Ege Bamyasi — comes in that you hear the ensemble’s transition toward more engaged and dynamic play that establishes its identity. “Noah’s Theme” is introduced by Thighpaulsandra’s pillowy, electric piano before Dickaty’s horn articulates a sparse, episodic, harmonic line accented by dubby bass and spiky blues-tinged electric guitar — it gels to become a cinematic swell before dissolving in noir-ish groove. The set closes with “Utopia & Visions,” an episodic modal tune led by Dickaty’s deep blue tenor. Marsh’s bassline acts as his chief foil, though Garwood’s tempered, shard-like slide playing adds flavor, space, and atmosphere. They are all grounded by ghostly Rhodes and a skittering snare beat. The tune’s song-like construction gives it a loose, expressionistic, Velvet Underground-esque blues feel in timbre and cadence. On first listen, The Quiet Temple appears unassuming, but that’s a canard. This music is labyrinthine: It’s detailed without succumbing to excess or artificial cleverness. It offers the listener escapist pleasure and complex intimacy but demands attention in its totality. Ultimately, there are too few records like The Quiet Temple. While its musical referents are obvious, its assemblage, execution, and inspiration are not. ~ Thom Jurek

L.A. power-pop outfit The Regrettes have announced their highly-anticipated sophomore album, How Do You Love?, set for release on August 9 via Warner Records. The infectious, guitar-driven first single, “I Dare You” is out today, along with an official video. Listen to the new track and pre-order the forthcoming 15-track album here now, as well as at the band’s official store here. To coincide with the forthcoming release, The Regrettes have confirmed North American summer and fall headline tours, with the just-announced fall dates for “The How Do You Love Tour” on sale this Friday, June 21 at 10am local time. A full list of dates is below.

Don’t be fooled, The Regrettes aren’t putting out a Bo Diddley tribute album! Switch a single letter around and you could easily picture some sort of blend between the latter’s rockabilly swing and the L.A four-piece’s sassy indie rock. Though in the case of this second studio album, the question isn’t Who Do You Love? but How? To answer that question, Lydia Night (vocals, guitar), Genessa Gariano (guitar, BV), Sage Nicole (bass, BV) are the core of a teenage girl band, along with Maxx Morando’s drumming. Producing them a second time round, Mike Elizondo; do note that Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) is credited on I Dare You as a songwriter. His presence is felt elsewhere as well, on Here You Go and the eponymous How Do You Love, the closing track. Musically, this feels like a 60s pop record, blended with pop-punk-garage choruses on steroids. Coloring Book is a prime example: its Beach Boys-ish chord progression leads to a breaking point where Night channels Joan Jett – angry and self-assured, she demonstrates perfect control over her own nonchalant, teenage attitude (she’s only 18!), seldom crossing the line into sounding unsympathetic. Much like its creators, How Do You Love is brimming with the energy of youth – it’s catchy, endearing and fresh. © Alexis Renaudat

“The Teskey Brothers (p. noun): A Melbournian group famed for their retro sound, which hails back to the 60s golden age of soul and blues. Founded in 2008 by two brothers, Joshua and Samuel. Related to this topic: Wilson Pickett, Bill Withers, Otis Redding”. That might be what this band’s page in a music encyclopedia would look like. Though that might not be enough: they’re much more than a Sunday blues revival band! Their second studio album, recorded entirely on tape, covers various musical styles, from Man Of The Universe’s sunny Motown cheer, to the Pink-Floyd-ish organ and gospel choirs on Paint My Heart, as well as the snarling vaudeville of Sunshine Baby, which could have been a Tom Waits tune. Despite these different styles, the unifying quality to all of the songs is texture: tape coloration is like a varnish for these finely crafted retro delights. Run Home Slow is more about feeling than execution; the result is as heartfelt as it is well crafted. – Alexis Renaudat

“Tubby Hayes is undoubtedly one of the most important, influential and ground-breaking UK jazz musicians of all time. During the ‘50s and early ‘60s, Hayes had stood apart from many of his UK-based contemporaries, displaying a self-confidence and virtuoso musical delivery that placed him neck-and-neck with many of the leading American jazzmen of the day. He worked with the likes of Quincy Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Charles Mingus and Duke Ellington and his many fans included Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley and Sonny Rollins. He had his own primetime TV show and was the face of UK jazz.

Thought to be lost until their recent rediscovery, the sessions are being hailed as among the very best work in the Hayes discography. “Sometimes when tapes than have been lost or rumoured to exist finally surface there is a touch of anti-climax or the need to ‘spin’ them in a way that makes them more important than they are” explains Hayes’ biographer and award-winning British jazz saxophonist Simon Spillett. “These sessions, on the other hand, are absolute classics in every regard. It’s an album that can sit equally alongside the best Coltrane, Rollins or Dexter Gordon LPs. It really is a lost masterpiece, make no mistake.”

At the time the ‘Grits, Beans and Greens’ sessions were recorded, Hayes was also working on a more commercial project, ‘The Orchestra’, which found him aiming for the pop and easy-listening markets by covering The Beatles, Burt Bacharach and Nancy Sinatra. Ironically, sales of ‘The Orchestra’ were poor by the standards of his previous albums and as Hayes’ health began to falter in the early 1970s, no further recordings took place, leaving the ‘Grits, Beans and Greens’ reels forgotten and unreleased. After his tragic death following open-heart surgery, aged just 38, in 1973, the tapes were simply filed away, eventually becoming mislaid as the label’s archives went through a series of corporate buy-outs.

Upon discovery of the tapes, Decca hired high-end vinyl specialists Gearbox Studios to master the sessions for the first time. They created a 180-gram vinyl edition employing an original 1960s-era Studer C37 tape machine and a Scully Lathe (the same model employed by jazz record engineering god Rudy Van Gelder).

Mastering Notes: The recordings have been lovingly remastered at Gearbox Records’ Studios, London, directly from the original tapes, using a Studer C37 ¼-inch stereo tape machine. They were then equalised through an all-valve mastering desk built bespoke for Decca studios in the late 1950s, Vintage Lang Pultec EQ, Prism Maselec EQ and Telefunken U73b valve limiters from 1959. The LP format lacquers were cut on a beautifully restored Haeco Scully Lathe from 1967 with Westrex (Western Electric) head and cutting amps: the same go-to lathe that Rudy Van Gelder used.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Digital Booklet, Front Cover | © 2xHD – Proprius

Torvald Torén, one of the most notable Swedish organists of his time, performed a vast amount of organ repertoire and is considered a foremost interpreter of French Romantic symphonic music. This double album compiles selections from previously released ’70s and ’80s recordings dedicated to both Marcel Dupré, considered the greatest organ composer of the 20th century, as well as Maurice Duruflé. Torén studied with Duruflé in Paris and had the unique opportunity to learn from the composer himself.

This record of Maurice Duruflé’s great organ works, begins with another of the greatest masterpieces of 20th-century French organ literature: Symphonie-Passion by Maurice Dupré, a work central to the same intensively creative period as Duruflé belonged to. Duruflé himself raises a grandiose memorial to his colleague Jehan Alain, who fell in the World War II. We also hear his first organ work, Scherzo, Op.2. The whole is played by TorvaldTorén – one of Scandinavia’s most eminent interpreters of the French organ music – in a recording which bears the unmistakable signature of sound engineer Bertil Alving.

The popular and award-winning orchestra brings forth a new album: ‘Come On In’. The intensity is intact, but there is also room for new streaks of melancholy. Through more than 1,000 concerts in 21 different countries, the hard swinging and critically acclaimed ensemble has made people smile and dance. For that is what the blues is capable of: grooving away lifes problems. The front man knows this better than most, and on the 10th album – with the inviting title ‘Come On In’ – he goes into clinch with everything from his own age to political reality.
