Airplay - Airplay 30th Anniversary Special Edition [Blu-spec CD SICP 20249]

Dette er AOR/Westcoast bibelen uten sidestykke. Her en preview fra den "nye" utgaven:





http://vimeo.com/15782124

Airplay is the legendary West Coast Pop Project of Jay Graydon, David Foster and Tommy Funderburk. They released only this album. If You should not listen to this album, I would strongly recommend to listen to this most basic A.O.R album soonest possible. This is what we call as A.O.R. here in Japan. Bible Album! There is no better A.O.R. album than this album, until now and from now on. This album represents 20th century also with Beatles albums. Masterpiece of the Masterpiece. The history of A.O.R is made by this release.
You can find out the song titled "Stressed Out (Close To The Edge)" performed by same project name "Airplay" on the soundtrack album of the movie "St. Elmo's Fire" (1985). But this song performed by Jay Graydon and David Foster with Peter Beckett instead of Tommy Funderburk.

It was 1977 that Lisa Dal Bello, a young Italian/UK-origin female singer coming from Canada, got a chance to release her first solo album supported by TOTO members. On this debut album, she wrote all 10 songs, 3 of which are co-written with David Foster, the producer of this album, and 1 of which is co-written with Roy Kenner. You should note that she got Juno Awards (Best New Vocalist of the year) by this funky and emotional album. Someone may recall her impressive with Boz Scaggs on "Miss Sun", the demo version of which can be also listened on "TOTO XX" album. For your information, Lisa released 5 more solo albums; "Pretty Girls" (1979), "Drastic Measures" (1981) and so on.

Enig. Det er ikke all musikk som har tålt tidens tand like godt.

Her har vi derimot en som fortsatt låter bra:

Jaye P. Morgan [YDCD-0112]





http://vimeo.com/15914655





Sometime, we come across the incredible unfamiliar past masterpiece, most of which are really hard to get and actually very difficult to be reissued because of copyright matters. Erik Tagg's 2nd solo album "Rendez-vous" was one of those albums. This Jaye P. Morgan album must be another one and/or much more rare and difficult to reissue because this album. To my surprise, Dreamsville Records succeeded to reissue this Jay P. Morgan's album on CD.

Jaye P. Morgan is a 1950's well-known popular singer, actress and comedienne. Especially during the '50s, she made quite a name for herself as a vocalist, surprisingly she had 9 US Top20 hits during one year from November 1954 . And she hosted her own TV show, "The Jaye P. Morgan" in mid 50's. Jaye P. Morgan re-emerged in the '70s as a comedienne and/or entertainer rather than a singer. Jaye is probably best-known as a panelist on "The Gong Show".

Although not as prevalent a personality as a singer, Jaye P. Morgan continued to be the singer in 70's. This album is the proof of this fact and at the same time one of the best late 70's session works done by Jay Graydon and David Foster. Other supporting musicians are also marvelous as listed below. I recommend this album as the stepping stone album toward the A.O.R / West Coast golden years around 1980.

Robert Byrne - Blame It On Night [Japan LTD Mini LP SHM-CD UICY-94688]

http://vimeo.com/16802602

Robert Byrne established his songwriter status by 1977 American Song Festival Grand-Prix with "Bound To Know The Blues" and 1978 winning tune of the same festival "I'll Love Your Leavin' Away". Thus, Robert Byrne got a chance to release his own solo album "Blame It On The Night" in 1979 under Mercury USA. However, only several months later this album was deleted from Mercury Catalogue, which made a little bit difficult to get this album in spite of popularity among AOR/Westcoast music freaks here in Japan. Almost one year later, we could see this album again here in Japan with the revised artworks often done in those days as Japanese marketing strategy. There were many successful revised artworks such as "Bill LaBounty / Bill LaBounty" and/or "Roby Duke / Not The Same", but as regards the revised jacket design of this Japanese version (done by Masao Igawa using the not-sophisticated photography taken by Akira Kobayashi and himself), most people says it should not have been done. Considering the majority's opinion, this reissue CD is done with the original US vinyl jacket. I guess you may not feel why everyone praises this album when you listen to only the opening tune "Baby Fat", a kind of cheap disco tune. When you find that "Blame It On The Night", the one of the most sophisticated and perfect ballads in 20th century, follows, you are obliged to agree with the people admiring Robert Byrne. And further you must be knocked out once you listen to the next track "That Didn't Hurt Too Bad". Please note that there is another album led by Robert Byrne, which is "An Eye For An Eye" released in 1981 as "Barne and Byrnes".

Flere ting å se fram til:

Contante & Sonante's Highlights and Rarities (2011)

Highlights and Rarities is Contante & Sonante's long-awaited comeback release after the critically acclaimed triumph of 2009's Fly Away / The Songs of David Foster. Fly Away / The Songs of David Foster definitely marked a turning point for our label. Years of hard work produced a once-in-a-lifetime record that featured a who's who of quality pop like Bill Champlin, Jeff Pescetto, Arnold McCuller, Bill LaBounty, Warren Wiebe, Robbie Dupree, Bill Cantos, Joe Pizzulo and many more.

Highlights and Rarities is a special album that showcases a collection of hits from our past catalogue that includes the previously mentioned David Foster tribute, Steve Dorff's magical 2004 release of Original Demos and two releases by Swiss music-maker Urs Wiesendanger, 2005’s Somebody New and A Christmas Eve in LA., originally issued in 2006.

The treat with Highlights and Rarities is that it also presents eight unreleased songs from the label's vaults, which come directly from those same recordings or have been especially produced for the occasion. Among these rarities you'll find many pleasant surprises like the never before heard ballad from Steve Dorff's private archive, "My Angel's Voice," beautifully performed by the late Warren Wiebe. "My Angel Voice" is another tender, moving performance by Mr. Wiebe that finally sees the light of day. Additionally, "A Little Thing Called Life", "Kindred Spirit" and "Somewhere In Time" are the selected numbers from the Steve Dorff original release added to the track listing.

Urs Wiesendanger's contributions to Highlights and Rarities include eight tracks, four of them heard here for the first time. The previously unreleased gems are "Luckiest Man", a smooth, sultry R&B number featuring world-renowned guitar player Chris Camozzi, plus great vocals courtesy of the talented Skyler Jett who was a singer for The Commodores. "When I Think of You" is an extraordinary ballad featuring great Swiss singer Rey Thomas, backed up by the incredible Robbie Buchanan on rhodes. Another couple of Wiesendanger's goodies are beautiful renditions of the Christmas evergreens "Silent Night" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". Both songs are performed by the fantastic singer and regular Weisendanger collaborator Thierry Condor.

Highlights and Rarities presents Bill Champlin's "In The Stone," from the Fly Away project, with an alternate-beginning version included only on the Limited Edition EP plus Arnold McCuller's refined take on “Jojo” and Ole Borud's "Through The Fire", which can only be found on the European CD release.

You can also find three previously unreleased numbers from the same Fly Away sessions, which remained uncompleted and have been re-arranged for this special occasion. All of them are produced and arranged by the very talented Tomi Malm. Among these new songs, we have a haunting cover of "Forever", a ballad originally sung by Kenny Loggins who co-wrote it with Foster for Loggins’ Vox Humana album. SunHo Lim, a fantastic new name from Korea, offers an outstanding vocal performance on this emotional take of the classic. Another remarkable rarity is a stunning rendition of The Tubes' rocking classic "She's a Beauty". Malm's inventive arrangement truly brings the famous song into another dimension. Bjarne Langhoff's amazing vocal, backed by a powerful rhythm section, add fire to the tune and takes it one step higher. And best way to end this magnificent album is a new version of the David Foster and Boz Scaggs hit "Look What You've Done To Me". This adaptation of the song that Foster considers to be one of his best ever gives the listener a new, light bossa nova version that features a different piano performance by Foster and also a new, wonderful lead vocal by L.A.-based singer Cecily Gardner. The song also features renowned guitar player Mitchell Long and Danish drummer Lars Daugaard.

We guarantee that Highlights and Rarities isn't the typical compilation album. It's a superior release that will help you rediscover many familiar sounds from the past as well as new, fantastic secrets from Contante & Sonante's amazing world of music.

We have put this album out as an exclusive 1000 copy limited numbered edition, so go and order your copy now before they're all gone!

There is no better A.O.R. album than this album, until now and from now on. This album represents 20th century also with Beatles albums. Masterpiece of the Masterpiece. The history of A.O.R is made by this release.

JOSEPH WILLIAMS & PETER FRIESTEDT ON TOUR AND SPECIAL CD-SINGLE RELEASE!

A strictly limited edition CD-single only to be sold on the Scandinavian LA Project concerts featuring Joseph Williams in November 2010. The single features a first taste from the "Joseph Williams & Peter Friestedt" album which is to be released in 2011. The song “Say Goodbye” is a great mix of Westcoast and classic AOR and for sure a future fan favourite. The other songs are "Gotta Find It" from the first LA Project album and "One More Night" from the second, lead vocals on all three by Joseph Williams. If, that is if, we have some left after the tour they will be up for sale in our webshop!

Da begynner det å skje noe på denne fronten

On May 27th Joseph Williams (former lead vocalist of TOTO/Vertigo) releases a brand new CD together with the very great Swedish guitar player Peter Friestedt.

The forthcoming CD with former Toto/Vertigo-vocalist Joseph Williams & the Swedish guitar player Peter Friestedt has the title ”Williams/Friestedt” featuring 9 tracks which one of the tracks are instrumental and incredible beautifullin the same vein as a soundtrack-style like it was written by Maestro David Foster (like for example his instrumental theme ofl "S:t Elmo’s Fire”).
The rest of the 8 tracks features vocals by Joseph Williams, and 3 of those 8 tracks could be found on Peter Friestedt's two ”L.A. Project-CD's (”Where To Touch You”, ”One More Night” och ”Gotta Find It). The 2nd track "Say Goodbye" on the forthcoming CD was also released in 2010 as a CD-single (by Zink Music) in a limited edition during the tour of Joseph Williams together with Peter Friestedt.
In the summer of 2011 we will also hear & see Joseph Williams performing live once again together with TOTO as last year.

It will be the German record company AOR Heaven who will release the CD and not Zink Music as it was told before

Hvordan opplever du lyden på denne i forhold til 30års jub. utgaven (som jeg seff har)?

 

[mteinum]

30års utgaven er helt klart best

 

[Bartesam]

Japsene fikser dette med cd produksjon. Det har de gjort helt fra begynnelsen. Første generasjonscd ble ble presset en god del i Japan på midten av 80-tallet

Ny plate i hus

Dwayne Ford - Needless Freaking [EICP 1429]





Litt tekst fra Takeito

In 1953, Dwayne Ford was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In 1971, Dwayne joined Road School Of Music, the band for Ronnie Hawkins. Then Dwayne strted the band with the bass player, Terry Danko, guitarists Jim Atkinson as Atkinson, Danko and Ford. Soon, they added drummer Brian Hilton and another guitarist Hugh Brockie, and got a change to release an album, the self-titled ""Atkinson, Danko & Ford with Brockie & Hilton" (1972) for Columbia Records Canada. In 1974, they added bassist Chris Vickery and renamed the band "Bearfoot", which released 2 albums "Bearfoor" (1973) and "Passing Time" (1975) released as Dwayne Ford & Bearfoot. Between 1976 and 1979, Dwayne did many session works in Toronto and also was known as a movie music composer. Dwayne released 2 single records "Roll Me Away" (1980) and "Seven Men From Texas" (1981) before his first solo album "Needless Freaking" reviewed here. It was fully supported by David Foster. At the same time, this album might remind you the sound of early-years Toto sounds. It is quite natural because Jeff Porcaro, Mike Porcaro, and Steve Lukather plays on this album. For your information, Dwayne Ford released another solo album "Another Way To Fly" in 1997.

• Guitars: Steve Lukather, Jay Graydon, David Bendeth, Mike (Perry) Francis
• Drums: Jeff Porcaro, Mike Baird, Barry Keane
• Bass: Mike Porcaro, Neil Stubenhaus, Dennis Pendeth
• Keyboards: David Foster
• Sax: Earl Seymour
• Background Vocals: Patricia Gallant

Omtale av nye plata til Ole Børud

IMC Album Of The Day - “Keep Movin’” by Ole Børud

The wait is finally over for the growing number of people who have been fortunate enough to discover the music of Ole Børud. I’m very pleased to report that his new album, KEEP MOVIN’, has been well worth it.

This new set of tracks picks right up where the previous disc SHAKIN’ THE GROUND left off, complete with the same energy infused deep grooves, intense musicality and life affirming vocals. After taking in this album over a weekend, one thing is very clear to me; This music is designed to take the live Ole Børud concert experience to a level that few other performers have the ability to match. The bar is set high and the live celebration of this music will come at you like a runaway train.

KEEP MOVIN’ kicks off with the soulful groove of “High Time” complete with the horn stabs and organ fills giving it that “stanky funk”. “Rock Steady” puts everybody in Ole’s church for the best gospel sermon you’ll ever experience. “Awaiting Your Reply” brings jazzy chord progressions together within the complex arrangement and mid tempo groove. “Keep Movin’” would be easy to label as a ‘dance track’ except for the rock tinged breakdown Ole drops in the middle. It’s this incorporated amalgam of styles that makes Børud’s music such an artistically daring and fulfilling listening experience. On “Broken People” Ole switches gears into cruise mode on this smooth jam with a Pages feel featuring a delicate synth solo from Frode Mangen & a tasteful lead guitar from Markus Lillehaug Johnsen. Cruise time is kicked up a notch with “Make A Change” including a lively melody and energetic guitar solo from Ole. “Heaven Is On My Side” has a throwback vibe that pays homage to Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose” and others. “She’s Like No Other” delivers as Ole’s soulful, heartfelt tribute to his mother. “Soul In Chains” is a musical triumph as its moody verse builds to the jazzy, progressive chorus. “Step Into My Light” has a Graydon era Jarreau flavor to it along with its sparkling modern production. The album finishes with the song “Resting Day” which sounds like a melding of Steely Dan with a Randy Goodrum composition.

Ole produced KEEP ON MOVIN’ and handles lead and background vocals, lead & rhythm guitar, bass on six tracks, additional keys, all horn arrangements as well as writing all of the music. Artists contributing their talents include Ruben Dahl on drums, percussion and additional keys - Lars Erik Dahle on bass for five tracks - Frode Mangen on Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clavinet, piano, Hammond & synthesizer/keyboard solos - Jens Petter Antosen on trumpet & flugelhorn - Børge Are Halvorsen on saxophones, flute & the sax solo on “Souls In Chains” - Even Skatrud on trombone & Hilde Stavnem Børud on background vocals for “Rock Steady”.

This release marks Ole Børud as an artist on top of his game. The combination of his in depth musical knowledge along with his vocal, musical & songwriting abilities make him a rare and dangerous cat. The precise execution of the arrangements on this album solidifies the foundation of this exciting new collection and the overall production is so tight it’s waterproof.
You can get this CD sent to you by e-mailing Björn Söderqvist at his Blue Desert Music store: bjorn@bluedesertmusic.com or logging on his site at: http://www.bluedesertmusic.com/?lng=2
