1. The Jacksons - Playlist: The Very Best Of The Jacksons (2009) (R&B) (Rapidshare)
The Jackson 5 (also spelled The Jackson Five or The Jackson 5ive, and later known as The Jacksons) were an American popular music family group from Gary, Indiana. Founding group members Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael formed the group after performing in an early incarnation called The Jackson Brothers, which originally consisted of a trio of the three older brothers. Active from 1966 to 1990, the Jacksons played from a repertoire of R&B, soul, pop and later disco.
During their six-year Motown tenure, The Jackson 5 were one of the biggest pop-music phenomena of the 1970s, and the band served as the launching pad for the solo careers of their lead singers Jermaine and Michael, the latter brother later exploiting his early Motown solo fame to greater success as an adult artist. The Jackson 5 were the first act in recorded history to have their first four major label singles (”I Want You Back”, “ABC”, “The Love You Save”, and “I’ll Be There”) reach the top of the American charts. Several later singles, among them “Mama’s Pearl”, “Never Can Say Goodbye” and “Dancing Machine”, were Top 5 pop hits and number-one hits on the R&B singles chart.
Most of the early hits were written and produced by a specialized songwriting team known as “The Corporation”; later Jackson 5 hits were crafted chiefly by Hal Davis, while early Jacksons hits were compiled by the team of Gamble and Huff before The Jacksons began writing and producing themselves in the late-1970s. Significantly, they were the first black teen idols to appeal equally to white audiences thanks partially to the successful promotional relations skills of Motown CEO Berry Gordy. Upon their departure from Motown for CBS in 1976, The Jacksons were forced to change their name and replace Jermaine (who remained at Motown) with younger brother Randy.
After two years under the Philadelphia International Records label, they signed with Epic Records and asserted control of their songwriting, production, and image, and their success continued into the 1980s with hits such as “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)” and “State of Shock”. Their 1989 album 2300 Jackson Street was recorded without Michael and Marlon. Michael and Marlon did appear, however, on the title track. The disappointing sales of the album led to the group being dropped by their record label at the end of the year. The group has never formally broken up, but has been dormant since then, although all six brothers performed together at two Michael Jackson tribute concerts in September 2001.

4. Karlex - With All Due Respect (2009) (Indie) (Rapidshare)
The roots of black music stretches across the ocean
from Africa and America to the Caribbean islands
and Europe. This journey of a people and their
culture - a journey of joy and struggle - is
mirrored in the personal story of Karlex
Singer and songwriter Karlex blends the scratch 'n'
riff guitar sounds of classic funk and soul with
the fat-bottom bass of dub and roots reggae as well
as a little touch of electro to create a frothy
musical blend called Afro Groove
Karlex' songs radiate emotion and thoughtfulness
with themes of love, love lost, loneliness and the
quest for freedom and liberty. In the often vapid
shallow world of today's music, Karlex is an
inspiration. Currently residing in France, after
releasing his album, "Ghetto Fabulous," in 2006 to
much critical acclaim. He is back with a new album
"WITH ALL DUE RESPECT" due to be released in April
2009
The new album mixes themes of love "Everyday"
crisis of faith induced by the misery of the south
"Do you Know my name", the need for one to find
freedom within "Liberated" and a better world "On
Resp " litterally "Honor Respect" which is a
formula in parts of the haitian country side
whenever one wants to ask entrance into someone's
home, you say "Honor" and they welcome you with the
word "Respect" which is what those of the South are
asking of the North
Karlex is at your door, wanting to share his music
with you with all due respect: Honor/ Respect.

7. Blues Control - Local Flavor (2009) (Pop) (Rapidshare)
A1 Good Morning
A2 Rest On Water
A3 Tangier
B On Through The Night
2009 release from the New York-based Noise Rock duo. The opening track "Good Morning" is practically a sideways step into Boogie Rock (horn accompaniment provided by none other than Jesse Trbovich and Kurt Vile); with the proper seismic shift, it could almost be heard as an alternate reality take on 'Re-make/Re-model.' It's easily the band's longest stomp in the forest of Rock since their debut cassette, and, man, them boots leave a bruise! The remaining three tracks morph and ebb harmoniously--in true Blues Control fashion--the timbre occasionally elegiac, yet more often riffing on a plane that has yet to be transcribed. Local Flavor provides an unimaginable future that will take your breath away. So make sure you've paid your oxygen bill, because there are no free rides in the 82nd Century.

9. Michael Jackson - The Essential Michael Jackson (2009) (Pop) (Rapidshare)
The 2CD The Essential Michael Jackson takes you on a journey from budding star, to iconic legend and allows you to immerse yourself in the musical and emotional development of each track defining the story of a global superstar.
Michael Jackson needs no introduction, as part of the Jackson 5 he helped make up a remarkable musical family and one of the biggest pop phenomenons of the early 70s. The Jacksons' infectious brand of funky soul and now iconic stage presence reached out globally and made them and Michael international stars.
As the success of the band grew, Michael branched out with his own solo career first launching with "Got to be There" and then "Rockin' Robin". The momentum started to grow with the release of more successful singles and, as the hype surrounding the Jackson 5 slowed down towards the late 70s, Michael continued to develop and grow as an artist. With the release of Off the Wall, an immaculately crafted set of funky disco-pop, smooth soul, and lush, sentimental pop ballads, Michael cemented his place as a global star. The 1980s were a career-defining period with his instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power Michael Jackson was unstoppable. The 1982 album Thriller became the biggest selling album of all time and combined his musical genius with an exceptional and ahead of its time music video epic. Bad (1987) was released with enormous public anticipation and spawned another succession of hit singles with "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Man in the Mirror."

Go into your room and shut the door. Make sure no one else is around, and then have a seat. Put your headphones on...maybe even dim the lights a little. Now you are ready to listen to Barnaby Bright
When Nathan and Rebecca Bliss began work on their first full-length album, Wake the Hero, they hoped it would be the kind of record that would reach its listeners in a direct and honest way...that it would speak to the heart, not the head. The music of Barnaby Bright is meant for pondering, meant for stillness...meant for listening.
Combining beautiful acoustic guitars, lush harmonies, rich string arrangements, quirky instruments and subtle electronic tweaks, the music of Barnaby Bright has been featured on television shows such as ER, Days of Our Lives, and PBS Roadtrip Nation."Rebecca’s smooth, melodic vocals are reminiscent of Karen Carpenter or Shelby Flint...and Nathan’s incorporation of his jazz background into Garfunkel-y acoustic compositions bring diverse styles together to the folk in the road: a marriage of minds and hands and music."

11. Luther Kent - The Bobby Bland Songbook (2009) (Blues) (Rapidshare)
“Luther Kent Sings The Bobby Bland Songbook” liner notes With his new album, Luther Kent comes full circle. Luther Kent Sings The Bobby Bland Songbook brings the dyed-in-the-wool New Orleans music advocate—he’s in both the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame--back to the important life experience that launched his 46 years-and-counting career as a roots artist whose special mix of blues and soul has thrilled audiences in bayou country, elsewhere in the States, and in more distant places like Norway, Switzerland, Italy, Great Britain, and Japan. Luther’s main man is a storied patriarch of soul and blues. “The first time I saw Bobby Bland I was 13,” Kent says with the charm and friendliness of a born New Orleanian. “I was in a night club in Baton Rouge. Bobby was with the Joe Scott Orchestra. I was completely blown away.” The memory is apparently so vivid Luther pauses to collect his thoughts before he continues. “Al “TNT” Braggs, opening up for Bobby, was a real showman and got the audience really going—Al and I wound up singing together years later with the Chicken Hawks—then Bobby walked out there and grabbed the microphone and didn’t have to move a muscle because his voice did all the work!” On this tribute album, supported by a crackerjack big band playing arrangements by local legend Wardell Quezergue, Luther uses his big, well-deep, and vigorous voice to excellent advantage. His singing has the spark of honesty, a rare quality these days. An authoritative presence, Luther concentrates full-blown or modulated feeling in his melodies, and he fully grasps the narrative and rhythmic challenges of the Bland language. Interpreting a dozen warhorses identified with Bland, the singer avoids the sticky sentiment, the hazy focus, and all the other drawbacks that make the majority of musical salutes give off the moldy reek associated with compost heaps in the hot summer sun. Too smart and respectful to mimic his hero’s churchy melismas or squalls, he uses his own inflections and intimations to interpret “I Pity the Fool,” “Stormy Monday Blues” and other songs that he’s selected with care from the Bobby Bland treasure trove of recordings cut in the late-1950s and early-1960s for Don Robey’s Duke label. Luther definitely displays great empathy for the songs. Without fail, he’s raised each of the dozen to a new, fresh, even unbelievable, level of intensity. Best performance here? It may be “Cry, Cry, Cry,” his indignation over fractured love turns into something tragic and heroic. Or “St. James Infirmary,” his blues feeling has considerable depth. Sure, Bobby Bland owns these songs but probably no other singer has ever leased and invested them with such convictive power—no small compliment. Clear about his intentions, Luther says he doesn’t think the album’s about “trying to fit into Bobby’s shoes as much as it paying tribute to him and the songs.” He says with a quiet emphasis: “I wouldn’t for one minute ever try to be him, because there’s only one Bobby Bland.” About the influence of Bland, and others, on his singing, he comments: “It takes many years to develop a vocal style. I think you grab little bits and pieces of people who really inspire you over the years, and then you mold that into what you sound like and what you do.” Ray Charles and Etta James are also part of his sound and what he does. But it’s Bland all right whose music has seemingly coursed through his veins as lifeblood for decades. Luther dates the joy and sense of purpose that has drives his singing to the start of the 1960s, when teenager Chubby Checker was dancing the Twist and Ray Charles and the Shirelles were fresh on the pop radio chart. “When I was a young kid, man, I was walking down the street and I heard “Don’t Cry No More” and it just completely grabbed me. I’d never heard Bobby’s voice before, and his voice was so lush to me. There is nobody that sings like him.” “Then I got a copy of his Two Step

14. Marc & The Mambas - Torment & Toreros 2CD (New Wave,Punk) (Rapidshare)
Torment & Toreros was the double album that quickly followed up the equally bleak The Art of Falling Apart by Soft Cell. The Mambas had become a loose collective to aid & abet Marc's breakdown. Definitly one of those albums like Berlin, Third/Sister Lovers, All Shook Down, In Utero, Tonight's The Night/Time Fades Away/On the Beach and Music for a New Society.
This reissue keeps the format of the original double album from 1983, though the absence of the b-sides, particularly Your Aura (one of Almond's finest moments) is irritating.
Disc One opens with Boss Cat, which is good goth fun and fits in the same world as The Cure's Lovecats and proof that Drugs and Disney soundtracks can mix! A sarcastic cover of Brel's The Bulls is next, there is a better version on 1990's Jacques. Catch a Fallen Star (title courtesy of Perry Como!) is cut from the same cloth as Angels and The Art of Falling Apart. The Animal in You is in Banshees terrain. Next up is a compentent cover of In My Room (Marc wanted to be Scott Walker, which was helpful as Scott no longer did) and the sublime First Time. (Your Love is a )Lesion is bleak stuff with Bad Seeds/Swans style guitar. My Former Self & Once Was take us back to the dark ballads and are very strong songs indeed.
Disc 2 opens with The Untouchable One, before veering into the Lorca inflected Blood Wedding. Next up is the brilliant Black Heart single, one of the finest Hogan/Almond collaborations- proof that Marc could still do pop; pop that hurts...A medley is offerred next, the odd jazzy Narcissius, the bad luck song Gloomy Sunday (though Billie Holiday & Associates did it better) and Peter Hammill's Vision...Torment (co-written by Steve Severin/Robert Smith in Glove mode) is very Banshees and would be perfected on 1985's Always (from Stories of Johnny). Jim Thirwell (Foetus) pops up as Clint Ruin on A Million Manias, which details more pop star breakdowns amid a cacophony of top percussion and Ruin doing Tom Waits (in hell). My Little Book of Sorrows is probably the finest song here, though who is singing the other lines? It all concludes with a spot of Bizet-inflected fun, Beat Out that Rhythm on a Drum...
Torment & Toreros is bleak, bleak stuff- moreso with the Spanish/soundtrack elements. Not for those who like things like What & Tainted Love (which I suppose is the point). The greatest solo album Marc would be associated with until 1988's wonderful The Stars We Are.

20. Yoko Ono & Plastic Ono Band - Between My Head And The Sky (2009) (Rock) (Rapidshare,Depositfiles)
From Fluxus and performance-art pioneer and Two Virgins to chart-topping dance-music heroine (inspiring punk rock along the way!), Yoko Ono has been an innovative and influential force on music and art, while simultaneously campaigning for peace on the world’s stage. At 76 years young, Yoko continues to kick ass — and is preparing to release Don’t Stop Me!, a career-defining album made with her new Plastic Ono Band. The record is a gorgeous, mind-melting blend of styles, restating and sharpening themes while plunging into the always-mysterious future.
The sessions happened at NYC’s Sear Sound, the same studio that used to house the old Hit Factory, where Double Fantasy was recorded. Sean Lennon produced the sessions with Yoko and acted as musical leader for a group evenly divided between Japanese avant pop musicians, and downtown Manhattan improvisers. In the former category was Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto, and the current group led by Keigo “Cornelius” Oyamada – Yuko Araki and Hirotaka Shimmy Shimizu. Ms. Ono had been so happy with a performance they’d done together in Tokyo in January, she invited them to New York to record. In the latter category we find Shahzad Ismaily, Erik Friedlander, Michael Leonhart, Daniel Carter and Indigo Street, a group of brilliant instrumentalists.
As Sean says, “Yoko unleashed a deluge of new songs, writing about 16 songs in 6 days, the most prolific day peaking out at 6 songs written and tracked in an afternoon. The recording session was like a tornado of inspiration. Some of the best lyrics on the record Yoko actually ‘freestyled’ as if she were a lyrical divining rod.”
The results are pretty amazing…
YOKO ONO is a force of nature. She is also one of the most important and enduring artists of the last half-century. Her physical trajectory took her from Japan in the 1940s to America in the ‘50s and ‘60s. There was a momentary return to her homeland in the early ‘60s, then back to America (specifically New York City). After that, there’s her mid ‘60s visit to London, where she met John Lennon, and all that transpired henceforth — famous and infamous. Hers is a spectacular timeline through the counterculture of the late 20th century.
The celebrated flash notes of her life with Lennon have been obsessively documented and analyzed. Yoko’s own, autonomous history as an academic, musician, artist, filmmaker and a radical innovator in all of these fields has been perennially overshadowed in mainstream journals. It has only been within the last decade that serious consideration of Yoko’s work by above-ground culturistas has even been considered. But it remains a subject that most media-types approach with mincing trepidation and uncomfortable jokes.
When the fantastic Yes Yoko Ono exhibition (and its amazing catalogue, published by Harry N. Abrams) was realized at Japan Society in New York in 2000, art critic Michael Kimmelman reviewed it succinctly in the New York Times (October 27, 2000), detailing Yoko’s rich art lineage. He noted how Yoko established, alongside La Monte Young, the first real artist’s loft, where music and performance were united with the shock of art-as-action. This was where Yoko created works such as “Smoke Piece,” where the audience was asked to burn the art and the self-explanatory “Painting To Be Stepped On.”
Yoko’s loft is where the iconoclast George Maciunas — a formidable outsider force in his own right, who ran the AG Gallery uptown -– first became entranced by Buddhist positivity with its smiling, gentle nature. This was an element Maciunas immediately grabbed and threw into the berserk counterculture soupcon he christened, Fluxus. If there’s anything that prefigures punk rock it’s Maciunas, Yoko and the Fluxus movement.
Interestingly, Kimmelman blows his cover as one art critic who might fully grasp Yoko’s genius, by denouncing her musical activities. He proclaims her visual art, in retrospect, to be underappreciated. He posits her marriage to Lennon was a leap into celebrity, but one to which she absolutely brought an awareness of celebrity-as-performance. He even opines that her films are her greatest achievements (alongside her brilliant, pre-feminist performance masterwork, “Cut Piece”). But he negates these opinions by tossing out a dismissive kneejerk comment about her music, one whose idiocy is not mitigated by its wide currency. “The music is unbearable,” he writes. “And let’s leave it at that”.
An art critic without the ability to assess musical art with the same aesthetic consciousness he applies to visual art is, to some degree, crippled. But Kimmelman’s myopia is not confined to the compartmentalized world of conventional art critics. There has been a general idea bruited about that Yoko Ono’s art, particularly in its musical form, is not worth much or is some kind of cruel joke being played on the public. This idea is so foreign to our ears that it’s almost ungraspable.
Yoko’s music and her visuals have always been stunning, and not easily separable. Yoko Ono as musician, as composer, inhabits personae explicitly integral to her life and career as an artist. The ideas and sounds that run throughout her compositions are as filled with wonder and humor and ingenuity as her most engaging work in film, object art, et al. Indeed, her vocal concepts, inside the context of Beatles recordings — the highest profile pop music recordings in history — are astounding, not only for their organic thought-tongue individuality, but also for their ability to deliver genuinely avant-garde statements to a mainstream world.
The fact that this person is female, Japanese, an artist, and was married to John Lennon is something people are still trying to figure out. For many, it’s just a weird bit of proof that there’s a world out there (somewhere) far more fascinating than Main Street. But Yoko’s music is still regarded by the straight press and the bulk of its adherents as an anomaly, some sort of eccentric affectation. The truth is that Yoko studied and practiced traditional composition in the 1950s, while simultaneously exploring ideas of alternative notational theory. This places her right in the same class as such acknowledged transitional thinkers as John Cage, Henry Cowell, and David Tudor. Yoko’s compositional work, perhaps especially the “instruction pieces,” and her sharp-edged performances, were profound by any measure. When you factor in her ethnicity and gender, it’s easy to believe her efforts were more functionally radical than those of any contemporaries. In the context of her partnership with John Lennon, we got to experience a premier avant garde artist’s attempt to unify her own process with a rock n’ roll dynamic. Which, alongside the art/music relationship of Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground and the influence these mutually beneficial connectives have had on the modern state of art/rock, is pretty goddamn revolutionary.
Since her first commercially released recording – Two Virgins – created in partnership with John Lennon, Yoko has breathed life into a brilliant body of musical work. Initially, this fact was only grasped by listeners at the fringes – proto-punks, improvisers and experiementalists of various stripes – but the last decade has finally seen the beginnings of a serious re-evaluation of her oeuvre. And whilst the wilder parts of her whole seem to still be beyond the grasp of squares, her 2007 album, Yes, I’m a Witch, on which she was joined by a who’s who of the international rock underground, show that many people have figured out the secret beauty of her moves. This graceful arc continues with Between Her Head and the Sky.
The sessions happened at NYC’s Sear Sound, the same studio that used to house the old Hit Factory, where Double Fantasy was recorded. Sean Lennon both produced with Yoko and acted as musical leader for a group evenly divided between Japanese avant pop musicians, and downtown Manhattan improvisers. In the Japanese contingent is Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto, plus the current group led by Keigo “Cornelius” Oyamada, which includes Yuko Araki and Hirotaka Shimmy Shimizu. Cornelius and Ms. Ono performed together in Tokyo in January, and Yoko was so happy with the result she invited them over to record. In the Manhattan improv camp we find Shahzad Ismaily (guitar, bass, percussion), Erik Friedlander(cello), Michael Leonhart (trumpet, vibes), Daniel Carter (reeds) and Indigo Street (guitar) — a singularly gifted group of instrumentalists.
As Sean says, “Yoko unleashed a deluge of new songs, writing about 16 songs in six days. The most prolific day peaking out at six songs written and tracked in an afternoon. The recording session was like a tornado of inspiration. Some of the best lyrics on the record Yoko actually ‘freestyled’ as if she were a lyrical divining rod.”
The results are amazing. The opening track, “Waiting for the D Train” is a raw, gorgeous rocker in the classic Plastic Ono Band style, with orgone guitar bursts opening the way for a wild cascade of vocals. The following track, “The Sun Is Down!” is a softly charming cord of electronic pulse-glimmers intertwined with casually ecstatic vocal inventions. The third track, “Ask the Elephant!” has the feel of a dark, smoky room, late at night, with the musicians holding the edges of an avant groove while Yoko improvises over them. BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY fluctuates between these styes, and variations thereon, in a very organic way, adding pieces and removing them with a master artist’s logic.
The lyrically elegiac feel suffusing this album is especially evident on the last three songs – “Unun. To,” “I’m Going Away Smiling” and “Higa Noboru” – two of which are sung partly in Japanese. But Ms. Ono takes a variety of textual approaches, and they are brilliantly matched by the ensemble. While each of Yoko’s individual stylestreams will have its proponents, it’s hard to imagine a more beautifully balanced collection of work by one of contemporary culture’s reigning geniuses.
Yoko Ono. BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY. Hold that thought.
New studio album will be released on September 21, 2009 on Sean Lennon’s label, Chimera Music.
