sdcd - SDID Issue 4 - Index

1870 and belongs to the extensive opera opus that originally lasted four hours: Wagner worked on the composition over a period of twenty-six years. This
recording was made in 1954 and is an important one: on the one hand, it is the first complete studio recording of Valkyrie. On the other, it is the last studio
recording made by Wilhelm Furtwängler, conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Furtwängler died aged sixty-eight, just two months after the recording was
made; he is considered one of the most important German conductors of the 20th century. Documents.

History At Our Disposal Symbols In The Architecture 656605842622 $12.97 CD Rock/Pop
HAOD originated as a collaborative vehicle for creating and scoring film (including the B thriller Good Chemistry and scoring the Academy Award winning
“Jesus Henry Christ”) and video installations only to end up with this incredible book of songs called “Symbols in the Architecture” driven by Jason Reimer.
As a reference to classic forms of symbolism in the architecture of our modern america, this recording expresses the complexity and loneliness of the feeling
of a Chicago expatriot living in Texas during a time of political tumult.
Noble Lake Heyday 791381845327 $12.97 CD Rock/Pop
Formed originally as the primary songwriting vehicle for Baltimore native James Sarsgaard, Noble Lake began playing shows in 2006, first as a quartet, then
settling into a trio that came to include local multi-instrumentalists Andy Stack and Jenn Wasner. The group’s sound recalls the dusty, string band dirge of
Depression era American folk and country acts like the Carter Family and Doc Boggs as well as the bleak lyricism and bright harmonies of Richard and Linda
Thompson. Firm devotees to the narrative song, Noble Lake builds a frame upon tales of itinerant travelers, drunks and self destructive lovers, environmental
disaster and a shrinking world and uses it as a launching point for tightly wound acoustic tapestries that range from high lonesome, straightforward folk to
ragged, pulsating drones that bring to mind the sonic terrain mined by the Dirty Three, Jack Rose and the like.
Shapiro,Rich Unconditional Love 609461007711 $14.97 CD Rock/Pop
Nothing quite captures the full experience of Rick’s performance artistry like seeing him live. But if you can’t do that, the album...is the next best thing. Rick
Shapiro is not merely a stand up comedian. He doesn’t really have a routine, per se. Really he just gets up on stage and explodes into a sort of stream of
consciousness rant. During his performances, Rick unleashes the many characters living in his brain in a rapid fire purging that almost comes across as an
assault. The former junky/prostitute turned actor-comedian has been called the Lenny Bruce of the East Village and it’s a name that suits him. Fortunately
for Rick, though, he is not living in the repressed age that censored and eventually ruined Lenny Bruce. Rick’s act is so obscene and raunchy that it makes
his predecessors look like girl scouts. But his humor doesn’t just rely on obscenity. It’s quick witted social criticism... with the occasional reference to fisting.
5.0 out of 5 stars...Rick Shapiro RULES!!!!,
Soul Cannon Kaboom 613285918429 $12.97 CD Rap/Hip Hop
More than just a band, Soul Cannon is a vision that encapsulates a wide range of musical genres and traditions with a high realm of artistically driven lyricism
and compositional skills. On their debut album, Kaboom, each of the 11 tracks develops organically, unfolding original musical perspectives on function and
form to distill a unique sound that resonates from the intersection of bands such as The Roots and Deerhoof. Using a juxtaposition of bothered dissonance
and sweeping soundscapes to provide the consummate framework for penetrating beats and gripping lyrics, the raw structural beams of the music are
exposed for all to see. Continually pushing to create a sincere expression of the intricate elements that make up any human experience, Soul Cannon
combines an unorthodox approach to harmony with traditional song forms. ‘Dilapidated Buildings’, ‘Pampers Low’, and ‘Election Season’ illustrate Soul
Cannon’s breathtaking versatility and deep rooted connection to the struggles and tribulations of modern lif
Tall Grass Look Out Clouds Here We Come 613285925724 $12.97 CD Rock/Pop
In our opinion, the Tall Grass sift through the eerie static and silence and draw out the song from the poetry that harmonizes with the stillness. It’s melancholy
and brilliantly celebratory of that feeling. It might be best suited for a cold sunny day, or driving down a long stretch, or just any moment that gives you pause
enought to actually listen. Good music isn’t rushed. It’s meant to be enjoyed, and The Tall Grass give it to you without posturing or pretense, just the sound
of remembering.
Thank You World City 751937307426 $16.97 CD Rock/Pop
Thank You is an athletic rhythm/action unit, made up of Jeffrey McGrath, Michael Bouyoucas, and Elke Wardlaw. They are three free individuals, subsumed
into a collective form that spits out dank, skittering tracks filled with light and dark. The band has been building up a reputation via their live show, which has
left audience members joyful, overwhelmed, and ready to spread the word. A seeming telepathy occurs onstage. The band enters into musical dervishes, a
union, a breathless chaos that results in one hell of a Saturday night and what seems like a musical fight. Not to worry, though. The members of Thank You
are longtime friends and musical collaborators, working hard to bring to life their wholly original compositions. Musical ideas are introduced and have
conversations with one another, each track filled with new articulation and insight. The basics of drums, organ, and guitar build the foundation, but are
augmented by whistles, cowbell, hobo harmonica, snappy loops, car horns, and whatever else migh
