The Rough Guide To Reggae

Various

Audio CD: FDO 1997-10-27
Label: World Music Network

"Reggae is a music genre developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term is sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, including ska, rocksteady and dub. The term is more specifically used to indicate a particular style that originated after the development of rocksteady. In this sense, reggae includes two subgenres: roots reggae (the original reggae) and dancehall reggae, which originated in the late 1970s. Reggae is founded upon a rhythm style characterized by regular chops on the off-beat, known as the skank. The tempo is generally slower than that found in reggae's precursors, ska and rock steady. Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement, which influenced many prominent reggae musicians in the 1970s and 1980s. Reggae song lyrics deal with many subjects, including faith, love, sexuality and broad social issues.!......... at 160 kbps!"

All tracks performed by Victor, with the exception of Ekeko, El Poeta, Asi Es El Cariño, where Grigo Monasterio plays other guitar and zampoña, and Julian Monasterio plays Violin in Mamaquilla. I am not in the business of making money through music, just listening and playing, singing and writing.

The Rough Guide To World Music

Various

Audio CD: FDO 1994-10-25
Label: World Music Network

"I hate world music," wrote David Byrne, who went on to explain that he disliked a vague marketing label that ghettoized the majority of the world's music. The Rough Guiders who compiled this insanely far-flung anthology, conversely, apparently adore the term's catchall nature. Which is why you'll find everything from Colombian salsa fireball Joe Arroyo to the Gaelic "mouth music" of Scot singer Talitha MacKenzie here and a whole lot more. World music usually signifies roots less than fusion, which is why Mali singer Oumou Sangare's electrified traditionalism sounds just fine beside the avant-psychedelic guitar of Henry Kaiser and Malagasy singer Roger Georges. A certain disproportion is probably inevitable. Africa, with its incomparable dance rhythms, weighs in heavy with contributions by Youssou N'Dour (Senegal), Zaiko Langa Langa (Zaire), and Cecile Kayirebwa (Rwanda), while Asia is represented only by Guo Yue and Joji Hirota's flute duo. Irish folk, Louisiana zydeco, and Nubian blues are also represented here. But anyone interested in learning more about these artists will have to refer back to The Rough Guide to World Music for more information!......... at 192 kbps!"

The Rough Guide To Classic Jazz

Various

Audio CD: FDO 1996-05-13
Label: World Music Network

"The 1920's and early 1930's was the great era of Jazz. This album spans the period, showcasing the big names, as well as some lesser known gems. If you're trying to build a collection of classic jazz, start here. Along with the usual King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton tracks, this also has Pinetop Smith's "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie," the first example of the genre on record, as well as the original Victor recording of Duke Ellington's "Creole Love Call" with Adelaide Hall. The only fly in the ointment is that these recordings are culled from Robert Parker's reissues, which are controversial in the way that they reprocess old recorded sound. If you're a purist, you may eventually replace this CD in your collection, but it is a wonderful way to start!......... at 128 kbps!"

The Rough Guide To The Music Of Okinawa

Various

Audio CD: FDO 2001-07-10
Label: World Music Network

"Lovely Asian music with a certain island flavour. Like the rest of the series, this CD covers a good spectrum of music, from traditional to various pop styles. Typical instruments used in Okinawan music are the sanshin (a kind of banjo), castanets, recorders, flutes, guitars and taiko drums playing shuffling syncopated rythms. Featured are such diverse talents as Ryukyu Underground, with their ambient drum'n'bass / reggae dub stylings, the Dick Dale influenced Surf Champlers, folk music legends Rinsho Kadekaru and Tetsuhiro Daiku, the wacky pop of Donto and Shisars with their meddley of musical styles pushing Okinawan music to the outer limits. Every song has something to offer to fans of Eastern music, because island music is by nature full of many exotic influences, blown in by all the trade winds. The voices of all the women, from Chieko Iha to Nenes, are beautiful. I'll risk losing my reputation as an objective reviewer by saying that the song "Shimajima Kaisha" by the group Four Sisters, always brings tears to my eyes. Recorders sounding like the warm trade winds, a rolling beat like the waves and sweetly tragic female vocals like cries over the sundering Sea. To round off a nice package,the liner notes by music guru Paul Fisher are excellent.!......... at 160 kbps!"

The Rough Guide To Scottish Music ''First Edition''

Various

Audio CD: FDO 1996-05-13
Label: World Music Network

"Forget about the blisters, the mosquitoes, and the driving rain. This is a guide for those who like their Scotland sweet 'n' easy: rough it ain't. The strength of traditional Scottish folk has always been snappy dance rhythms, instruments that won't be ignored, and melodies with as many peaks and valleys as the Scottish topography, all of which are here aplenty. Contributions range from Capercaillie's spunky "Claire in Heaven" to the Cast's "The Scots O'Bonnie Dundee," which fuses acoustic guitar, violin, and crystalline vocals as poignantly as you'd expect. The real show-stealer, however, is Talitha MacKenzie's "Seinn O," which seamlessly blends Gaelic rap, a dance groove, mouth music, and Siberian throatsinging and just goes to show how compatible the familiar sound can be with modern or world beats. Despite this, the overall feeling is that the Caledonian musical heritage has trimmed its beard, and cast one wary eye on the horizon with another on the hills behind, which is far from the whole story. There's a vibrant Scottish acoustic pop scene that has often drawn heavily on its folk roots, and a splash of Afro-Celt Sound System or Eddie Reader would certainly have put a kick in the whisky......... at 320 kbps!"

Astor Piazzolla

Label: World Music Network

"Astor Piazzolla is arguably the greatest tango musician of all time and, from the 1950s onwards, he continued to experiment to test the limits of the genre. A virtuoso on the bandoneón, a brilliant composer, arranger and bandleader, Piazzolla conjured a sound that fused the evolutionary tangos of Aníbal Troilo, jazz, ambient and classical avant-garde aberrations. This CD To Astor Piazzolla is a soundtrack to the teeming city of Buenos Aires – peopled by colourful characters and incredible stories – and reflects his remarkable lifetime achievement.... at 320 kbps !"

The Rough Guide To Brazilian Electronica

Brazilian Electronica

Audio CD: FDO 2003-10-20
Label: World Music Network

"For many years, Brazilian music has been respected and appreciated in its numerous forms, from choro and samba to bossa nova, MPB and beyond. Ever the innovators, the music has evolved and introduced modern concepts and beats – the resulting electronic music has developed rapidly and with great diversity since the late 1990s. From its first stirrings in the east side of São Paulo, artists have assimilated the available technology behind electronic music and made it an integral part of their creations. The artists included on this CD to Brazilian Electronica mix regional rhythms, such as maracatu and ciranda, with imported styles, such as hip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass and techno, without abandoning Brazilian rhythms and other regional influences........ at 320 kbps!"

While political borders have been changing regularly in recent years, Balkan music endures, even thrives, defying political, religious, linguistic and ethnic confines. The region is bound together with some of the most dynamic folk music in the world – as the Turkish brass sound and a series of Muslim influences have swept northward and westward, Western vocal harmonies, waltzes, polkas, bagpipe and accordion have flowed in the opposite direction.
