Product Description

The Portland Oregon music scene is alive and well. Very alive, very well! The Shins, Sleater Kinney, Helio Sequence, Decemberists, Sleater Kinney, The Dandy Warhols, The High Violets, The Thermals and Steven Malkumus. And now joining them is THE UPSIDEDOWN who just released their debut album TRUST ELECTRICITY on Reverb Records. The band had help in the studio from Dandy Warhol and Elliott Smith collaborator Tony Lash (ex-Heatmiser member) and it sounds absolutely brilliant. The band formed out of the ashes of seminal Portland shoegazer band The Bella Low and have been winning fans and influencing people ever since. They just finished up a full-on national tour and radio & press were faithful: The Willamette Week described The Upsidedown as: "dirty, glammed-up, drugged-down guitar rock with a dark heart. Their brand of ambient rock carries forth in a grand tradition: carefully constructed Dandies drone, pop hooks and devil-may-care-decadence." The Willamette Week know how to call it. KPSU described the band as "The best band that will come out of Portland in 2004!" With thumping, psychedelic, sexy and danceable beat driven songs like "Wake Up Drive Thru," "Blackeye Liner" and the Portland/George W. Bush riots inspired track "Pepper Spray," The Upsidedown are on a mission to bring some big bad dirty fun back into the world of independent music. They also successfully navigate territory formerly travelled by Love and Rockets and Echo & the Bunnymen, but with their own style, sound and attitude. And their cover version of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" is like no other. The band close off the album with their version, which is dripping in fuzz, swagger and sex. Prepare yourself to embrace The Upsidedown sound, which just recently hit shelves in North America.

Psychocandy Revisited.......2005-04-08

If you've spent a lot of time with Galaxie 500, Jesus & the Mary Chain, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, etc.-- you have very good taste. And so do the Upsidedown. I feel like I should control my enthusiasm for this record because it's not taking me anywhere new. But visiting familiar musical landscapes with people who can finesse the experience can be quite satisfying. This is a very nicely produced and executed psycho-pop garage trip. It's like a love letter to heroin art rock. Most fans of the genre will fall prey. Lush, trippy, catchy and pretty cool.

Soothing, intricate electronica.......2007-04-10

On "The Electricity In Your House Wants To Sing", Shawn Han-Liem crafts cerebral, melodic music in a similar vein as his previous album, "Grace Days". All of his signatures are here: contrapuntal interplay between various synthesized melodies, immaculately tight drums, and a smattering of sampled pianos, brass and other instruments. While Liem doesn't break much new ground, he is in top form, creating some of his most lovely and memorable work to date. The album opens with a brief piano solo, sampled elements of which resurface throughout the first track, an uptempo piece filled with swirling beeps that rise, fall, and bend. The highlight of the album is "The Work", which weaves together intricate melodic lines and textures into a wonderfully conherent whole. The album closer "center cities" is another high point, recalling the themes of the title track opener. There is an organic quality to this music that belies its mechanical precision.

Simple, childlike, relaxing.......2007-03-12

This is a great CD to relax to. Simple, childlike songs, clear, uncluttered production, good piano, good subtle beats. Reminds me of the music of ISAN (of whom I am a big fan) crossed with Ryuchi Sakamoto's piano works. The kind of IDM that tickles your brain a bit, makes your feet move without making you jump out of your seat. Enjoy.

From NPR's review: "I Am Robot and Proud is otherwise known as Shawn-han Liem, an instrumental electronic musician from Toronto. His intricate electro-pop is gentle, melodic and warmly organic."

Album Description

Madeleine Shapiro is a recognized figure in the field of contemporary music as a cellist, producer of chamber music concerts, and as a teacher. She has appeared as a solo recitalist throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America. She has a strong commitment to performing works by living composers and has a repertoire of over 40 solo works by composers from the Americas, as well as Europe and Asia. The chamber ensemble ModernWorks, founded by Madeleine in 1997, presents an annual New York City concert series and has been heard yearly on the New York Consortium for New Music's prestigious Sonic Boom Festival and at other New York venues, including a series at the Museum of Arts and Design, as well as on NPR. She teaches at the Mannes College of Music in New York City, where she directs the Contemporary Music Ensemble and teaches classes in the performance practice of contemporary music. She writes: "My love for electro-acoustic works began as an undergraduate at The State University of New York at Stony Brook where it was suggested by the eminent violinist Paul Zukofsky that I learn Mario Davidovsky's Synchronisms No. 3, my first experience with a work by a living composer. My subsequent performance of this piece led to a life-long commitment to both works by living composers, and the electro-acoustic medium. The pieces on this CD were chosen for their wide range of musical expression, and for the variety of electronic technology they employ. Since 1964, when the Davidovsky was written, the developments in technology have been astounding. As a performer, I have found this revolution exhilarating, and embrace the expressive and coloristic possibilities that such technology has afforded us."

Fabulous CD.......2005-03-29

With this CD Madeleine Shapiro has solidified her reputation as a leading proponent of cutting edge new classical writing for the cello. While most cellist dabble with electronics, here Ms. Shapiro embraces it. The pieces are facinating, evocative and original and Ms. Shapiro's execution is excellent. This CD should be required listening for composers writng for the cello. Thank god people are still making CDs like this.

A heavenly marriage of acoustic and electronic elements.......2005-03-25

In addition to having a lot of sensational music, this outstanding recording shows the huge range of expression from today's composers. I've been fortunate to hear Madeleine Shapiro in live performance a number of times in New York, and she definitely knows her electronics (and needless to say, her cello).

The opener, "The Song of Songs" by Karen Tanaka, would be easy for almost anyone to like, even those not normally inclined toward this type of repertoire. Over a mellifluous drone with what sound like shimmering bells, Shapiro's soulful cello line grows ever more intense before the work's quiet ending.

The works by Jukka Tiensuu, Ge Gan-ru and Kaija Saariaho are all notable for using the instrument in unusual ways -- knocking on the wood, bowing near the bridge, and other ear-opening techniques, and one can't help but be impressed by Shapiro's consistent accuracy and passion in these difficult scores. The classic Davidovsky "Synchronisms No. 3" might be the most "modernist" item on the menu, but even it sounds warmer in Shapiro's hands than it might in others.

And Shapiro saves a stunning example of Michael Gordon's work, "Industry", for the very last. Gordon's rugged use of repeated double-stops will either wear you out, or hypnotize you -- for me it was definitely the latter -- and Shapiro's prodigious technique will leave you exhilarated. Throughout the recording, Shapiro is as masterful a guide as anyone could want in this repertoire, in a well-conceived combination of litte-known works and modern classics.

The CD was beautifully recorded by Adrian Carr, with a nice balance between the cello timbre and the electronic sounds -- neither one overwhelms the other -- and Albany has preserved all of this with a beautifully designed package and cover art (the liner notes credit Christine Chagnon). Don't miss the clever photograph on the back, too, in which Shapiro's cello appears to be flying off into space.

Interesting, compelling and a little strange.......2006-08-22

Whilst 'Crash & Burn' was hard-edged and dark, this is much more introverted and vulnerable. The Pleasures of Electricity is a strange album in many ways and very unusual. It is unlike anything else by John Foxx and just about unlike anything else I've heard.
The music "grooves" along in a quiet and beguiling way - sort of like a "Pastoral Kraftwerk". The music is very well crafted, melodic and it has a very infectious feel to it. "Invisible Women" has a quote from "Underpass" - the string synthesizer 'ritornello' from that song.

Many of the songs have a languid and unhurried feel to them. It is as if John Foxx has decided to spend some time with his ideas and music on this album and is happy to let the songs be as long as they need to be. The sound is less "hard-edged" than Metamatic or Crash & Burn, but much more organic and sophisticated than The Garden or In Mysterious Ways. It is a little like a calmer and more thoughtful version of The Golden Section, without the occasional and generally unnecessary intrusion of electric guitars.

The Pleasures of Electricity is a superb album in my opinion. It was rewarding for me the first time I listened to it and it continues to be a source of pleasure and mental stimulation for me. Great "armchair" listening, but, I dare say, it would sound awesome in a nightclub through a big sound system.

Hypnagogic Hallucinations.......2005-06-21

I have always been fascinated by John Foxx's surreal lyrics, and this collection of songs is nothing short of brilliant. A hypnagogic hallucination is a vivid, dreamlike hallucination that occurs as you are falling asleep. Some people see visions or hear people talking in that moment between waking and sleeping. John Foxx perfectly captures that moment on this album, and translates it to music. The lyrics often make you wonder if he is dreaming or awake; or living a moment in time or daydreaming about a moment in time. The music itself is minimal, clear, clean, and surreal without being disruptive. The dance beats of each song are very hypnotic and help to drive the dream like nature of the lyrics. John's voice is as beautiful and as clear as a bell ringing through fog. Relaxing yet exciting, beautiful yet surprising; thought provoking, and thoroughly entertaining.

Syntax for Romantics.......2004-06-19

With this album John Foxx ventures into the thinking part of his brain, much akin to when he was reading the Futurists in his early teens. Step back for a second and encompass what I am actually saying.
This entire album goes above the dance/sex/detached signature that John Foxx and all his work with ULTRAVOX! accomplished. While still using the minimalist beat/melody style, John takes the lyrics to new heights not visited for 200+ years. Don't be afraid or cynical, I am speaking of the English Romantics such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Blake, etc, etc..
Let us look at "Quiet City". Herein lies Wordworth's poem "London". It is what happens in the city, guided by its structure, that is important, not the city in as much; in Foxx's time the quiet in the early morning hours with the paper floating in the sewer wash, with Wordworth in the barges floating down the Thames.
"Invisible Women" smacks with the romantic vision of women always being beyond the humourless treatment/status given them in this male dominated world in much the same situation today as when Frankenstien was first being created in an after dinner conversation 200 some years ago.
"Camera" speaks of the idea that a mechanical/digital device has the possibility of capturing or mimicing thoughts and familiar mental recountings of one's history in photographic form, from which may be syntesised Wordworth's recalling in "Lines written a few Miles above Tintern Abbey" that poetry (in this case music) is best written after the compulsive expression exploding from the mind after much thought.
"Funny Thing" explores the invisible line between men and women that the romantics often adressed but never full identified; in how men and women in essence are involved in sameness but that how social definitions change the individuals mind to somehow socially place and confine both the roles of men and women.
I could go on to explain how "Travel" dances with the romantics traveling to view classical civilisations in their origins, or how "Cities of Light" explores the changing of cities and their histories and universities from being a drawing factor for intellectuals into a drawing force for insects and long lonely early morning walks what with the different technological mediums being used for physical rather than mental illumination, or even how "Automobile" changes metal boxes into seductive women but then I would leave out the important case of John Foxx's and Louis Gordon's much maligned music.
John and Louis have given music much the same beauty, style, and grace, through minimilising while taking away the fluff and unnecessary fury of overthinking and oversimplifying that music is doing today, much as the romantics did for human thought in the late/early 18th/19th centuries. If nothing else, I thank these two New Pioneers for the return to humanity by debugging the music industry with simplicity in this much to often overly digital age.

John Foxx - still a cut above the rest.......2003-07-09

On The Pleasures Of Electricity, John Foxx, along with Louis Gordon, returns to his early 80s Metamatic era sound, which was heavily influenced by Kraftwerk. In fact the song Camera reminds me a lot of Kraftwerk's Europe Endless and Neon Lights combined only Camera is much more dancable. Still Foxx manages to show a bit more emotion into his music on this album than Kraftwerk and he even he himself did on Metamatic
The song Invisible Women is basically a reworking of an earlier John Foxx song Underpass which is available on Metamatic. The same keyboard notes are also played in the song The Garden from the 1981 album of the same name. He's repeating himself but he does it so well. I love the soaring synth solo.
City Of Light is a great song to dance to and it features another soaring synth solo which is one thing John Foxx' is known for.
The Falling Room is probably my favorite song on the cd. Most of the vocals on The Pleasures Of Electricity are electronically altered but on The Falling Room you get John's real voice(for the most of the song) which I really enjoy. That's a bit ironic perhaps because the music is probably at it's strangest on this song.

Some other standouts for me are -
Automobile
Travel
Quiet City

This is some great music from one of the founding fathers of electronica.

Nostalgia for the Future.......2002-05-13

Hmm, very Kraftwerk. In going back to a sound even older than that of his own first foray into Electronic music, 1980's 'Metamatic', John has produced an excellent record of timeless quality. And for lovers of 'Metamatic', the tracks here 'Invisible Women' and 'Quiet City' are clever reworkings of that past glory.

Equally at home on the CD players of oldies reminiscing on the golden age of synth rock, of DJs burning the uptodatest dancefloor tracks and of those looking for some serious chillout musik.

Encompassing everything from understated acoustic ballads to jangly, guitar-driven pop, Eddi Reader's folk-rock hybrid rarely plays it straight. Picking up where she left off with 1997's Candyfloss and Medicine, Reader remains true to her own unique and enjoyable muse. Of course, it doesn't hurt that her always-amazing voice is in top form. "Prayer Wheel," with its exuberant chorus, masks a story of lost love behind a veneer of unadulterated pop. As usual, Reader draws on a number of songwriters to compile a topnotch collection of songs (including one, "On a Whim," written for her by Ron Sexsmith). But the best songs here are the ones written by or with longtime musical partner Boo Hewerdine: "Bell, Book and Candle" is a gorgeous, haunting tale of lost love, while "California" has a truly greasy groove to go with Reader's equally sexy vocals. Besides, it's always endearing to hear a Glasgow gal work her way around the word "California." --Percy Keegan

Customer Reviews:

So glad I bought this...a new artist to add to my favorites.......2001-11-08

I bought this CD to get Bell Book and Candle after hearing it on the televison show Charmed. Boy, was I surprised at what a good CD it truly is. I had never heard of Eddi Reader until I heard the song- I did not know what I was missing. Her voice is beautiful and the lyrics to the songs on this CD are so emotional they will tug at your heart. In addition to Bell Book and Candle other favorites of mine are Kiteflyer's Hill, Prayer Wheel and Postcard. To be honest, I don't think there is a bad song on the album. I would recommend everyone to give this artist a try. I will certainly be buying more of her music.

Heart on her sleeve.......2000-11-24

I've been a fan of Eddi since I first heard Mirmana playing in a music store in Cambridge in England in the early 90's. Since then I've bought all her releases almost on the day they were released and seen her in concert 3 times. The last time at a small pub in Cambridge where she played with long time songwriting partner Boo Hewerdine. What a great evening that was! Mirmana was her rather naive first outing after the Fairground Attraction days. The 2nd self-titled album was her attempt to capture an audience and was a commercial success in the UK. Candyfloss and Medicine to me seemed an attempt by her record company to reinvent Eddi as some new glossy pop star but despite that it contained great music. It failed commercially and she was dropped by her label. Angel & Electricity took a long time to find a home.

Despite everything she has been through the music still contains her wonderful voice singing songs about life, love, desperation, relationships, sorrow, joy and contentment. If you are new to her music I would humbly suggest buying the second album, Eddi Reeder, and go on from there. The more of you who do it the more chance I'll have of getting to buy her 5th album...

Great.......2000-09-14

Smashing and majestic first song urges you to open the French windows and let in the summer. Attention wanders during the quieter moments of this album but a great selection of ethereal tunes finely sung and consumately performed. One of my favourites.

Wherefore art thou, fame?.......2000-04-22

Eddi is one of those great, talented artists who will thankfully never make it big. All the better for those of us who know her, who can cherish her for who she is, not who her label wants to sell her as.

With much debate, I nominate this as my favorite Reader album, although the Maxi-Single is darn close...

I think what I enjoy most about her is her subtlety, which she uses without moderation =) Her writing and her vocal prowess are such that you might miss them, if you aren't looking for them. Like a great film technician, her best stuff is the stuff that you take for granted, and only afterward realize was beautiful and tasteful.

While all the album as a whole is a nice collection, it lacks the kind of cohesion that would make it a 5-star job. Still, the first and especially fourth tracks are hauntingly beautiful, and certainly keep me wanting to keep this disc in circulation in my player, so that her voice will stay in my ears like aural fudge. Sweetness!

If you find yourself taken by her, then just take a look at some of the people she's worked with, and hopefully, you'll discover some more new faces that will inspire you--her circle is a very talented one.

Who is this woman?.......1999-11-21

I went to a CD shop and saw this CD featured as a listener's choice. I put the headphones on and "Kiteflyer's Hill" came blasting out. I bought it that second. I've never heard of her before but this is a great CD to start with. "Postcard" is a favorite. Reader has a nice mix of power and quiet energy. Love Angels and Electricity.

Jimmy Murphy defies categorization, his music claimed equally by fans of traditional country, bluegrass, honky-tonk, and even, to some extent, rockabilly. This is a reissue of his 1978 album, a buried treasure even then, with four new tracks added; his only other sides stem from 1951-56 Nashville sessions that don't touch this in ingenuity, energy, agility, and conviction. Murphy's acoustic fusion is so progressive and contemporary, yet so true to its roots, that he stands in a class by himself. There's no doubting the heartfelt metaphors of the title (gospel) song, but he's equally spellbinding on the rippling blues "Louise," the harsh country credo "Mother Where Is Your Daughter Tonight," or the honky-tonk torment of "I Get a Longing to Hear Hank Sing the Blues." Murphy's clear, versatile voice embraces the sorrows of mountain life and city life alike, with his religious songs offering transcendence. Don't miss him. --John Morthland

I'd completely forgotten about Jimmy Murphy and this album when I stumbled across the reissue recently in a Sugar Hill catalog. I immediately ordered a copy and was pleased to find the company had even added some bonus tracks to the cd version. No one today knows Jimmy Murphy but he creates a kind of high-lonesome hard-country that integrates bluegrass, gospel & blues. Good guitar player too! Electricity is the perfect name for this dazzling record. You'll probably never hear it on the radio, so the only way you're going to find out about this music is to take the gamble and buy the cd. No one who likes Hank Snow, Doc Watson, Del McCoury, etc will be disappointed.
