The modern-day traditional Jewish music revival is filled with artists exploring klezmer's Eastern-European roots, but you'll hear no clarinet and little violin on cantor/educator Richard Kaplan's Life Of The Worlds. Although these are traditional songs, there is a broad range of the Diaspora represented on his second album, including Afghani, Spanish, Moroccan, and Algerian traditions. Kaplan dives into the sacred and the secular, the prophetic and the exultant, finding commonalities amongst different tribes and fusing them together. Musical accompaniment comes in the form of an occasional flute, piano, and violin as well as Moroccan clay drums, oud, dumbek, and other pre-modern-era instruments, but the instrument at the center of each song is Kaplan's voice--his high baritone majestically soars, quavers with sensitivity, and rings out with joy. To hear him sing solo versions of traditional Niggiun is to hear a world-class master savor the multifaceted nuance of each note and transcend the concept of song, turning it into religion and high art. --Tad Hendrickson

Album Description

A remarkable collection of vocal performances of Jewish sacred music from the Middle East, Andalusia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia - songs of exultation, longing, love, and Divine immanence - accompanied by an ensemble of masterful musicians.

Instruments include: oud, ney, kanun, Egyptian accordian, violin, mandolin, dumbek, doira, riqq, Yemenite can, tar, saz, clarinet, mey (Turkish duduk), tilinca (Rumanian shepherd's flute), piano, string bass, balaban (Klezmer drum set), cimbalom, and a chorus of voices.

Among many special songs, the CD features an 'eco-lament' (ecological lament) based on lament melodies for the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. It is called "Lament on the Destruction of the Garden of Eden" (Kinah Lekhurban Gan Eden), and updates the use of these tunes to mourn the wounding of our larger temple, Gaia - Mother Earth.

LIFE OF THE WORLDS contains 18 songs, 77 minutes of music, and contains a 32-page booklet which includes informative song descriptions; all texts are provided in transliteration, English translation, and in Hebrew or Yiddish.

bouncing political theorums in the key of rock.......2003-11-05

Fun, silly and distinctly political. This hard-rock band from Spain plays with reckless abandon, singer R.J. Sinclair's vocals match the breakneck speed, shouting and twisting around English. The lyrics are uncertain at times, it seems a little sad that their lyrics weren't translated properly but the message is a hazy Marxist induced critical theory.
The guitars race up and down the frets, challenging the organ at variance in tempo, distortion and overall level. They often break down to frenetic clapping and preaching, apparently big fans of soul music.
This album isn't exactly going to change the face of music or politics, but messages aside it's very fun to listen too and a really solid effort.

Soul Destruction.......2004-10-07

The Almighty's second album is a big improvement in songwriting and production terms over their debut Blood Fire and Love, and is probably their best, before they jumped on the Grunge bandwagon. Its a good old fashioned denim and leather hard rock album with a couple of slow numbers. Musically its similar to other British hard rock bands of the early 90s like Wolfsbane, but a bit harder. The lyrics focus on songwriter Ricky Warwick's twin preocupations of Love and Religion and indeed the track "Love Religion" pretty much sums up the albums theme. There are plenty of rocking riffs, gutsy vocals and catchy corus's on offer. "Crucify", "Free'n'Easy" and "Devil's Toy" are stand out tracks.

Soul Destruction is eardrum destrutive!.......2003-06-01

An outstanding first release and the best effort. Tight guitars precussion and vocals. You may need a new set of speakers after listening to this one. Max volumn only!

Product Description

SPANISH IMPORT - "Tokyo Sex Destruction caused a real revolution in the spanish media, never-before that interested in BCore bands. The reason, a band with clear ideas, specialized in a genre that they control perfectly like garage-punk with soul attitude, in a moment when press and audience received them with open arms."
