Popular Reviews

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

I have followed Gary Burton since my college days in the 1970's and have seen him perform live several times in that era with various musicians including a young Pat Metheny and Eberhard Weber. I generally love what he does but am frustrated (perhaps bored) occasionally by obscure experiments of his. This is good but not great. Check out Burton's album "Passengers" if you want him at an exciting moment in music.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

What a game changer! The premier jazz-rock-funk album. This is where it all started.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Dec 17 2024

Clearly brings me back to the 1980's. It's good, but I am not sure i actually want to go back.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Dec 18 2024

Once again, the typical sound of pop 1980's electronic music.

I have not spent much time listening to Sinatra. I love these bossa nova compositions and have both performed and listened to many versions. This is good. Very good. I may go back and listen to early Sinatra to see what's there. thanks for this suggested album.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Dec 23 2024

I have heard Groove is the Heart but had no idea who Deee-Lite really was. Great dance music. Love it!

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 16 2025

I have always liked these guys-I have a soft spot for this band and era.

Nice background music for baking. I enjoyed it for what it is. I don't dance much anymore but I appreciated the beat. No catchy hooks as you might expect, just a solid beat.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 17 2025

I have liked and listened to this since "Vikings" used their music. I love it although I have to listen to it alone since my wife thinks I am ramping up my torture room when this is on.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Feb 19 2025

I followed Weather Report since the beginning. Earliest albums were hard to like, even though I wanted to. Middle albums were a great mix of (at the time) modern jazz and rock. Truly amazing. This latter period is when the band needed the money and went all commercial on us. This album is like backround rock karoke. Too pop for a jazz rock listener.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Feb 21 2025

I like Miles but this seemed a bit dated. Good, but too structured to not sound dated.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Feb 27 2025

I wanted to like this. Very good for this genre of music. It's a bit too much for me. It all sounds the same after half the album. This is from someone who has liked Brazilian music since the 1960's.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Mar 11 2025

Very fine, indeed. Personally I don't get tired of this even though I have been listening to this genre of music since childhood in the 1960's. Smooth and easy listening but not simple by any means.

Debut by Björk
Mar 20 2025

I fell in love- and then had a rocky relationship with Bjork for many years. It was difficult in later years. My wife forbade me from seeing(listening) to her. Guilty pleasure for many years. But now it’s over. She and I have moved on. She got old and crazy. Maybe she always was. But I can still remember the beginning…..

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 21 2025

These are good songs; great songs by one of my favorite period bands. I loved S.D. since I saw them on a concert TV show in the early 70's. But this album never really caught on with me. No reason. Hearing it now is actually somewhat of a fresh pleasure.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 26 2025

Nice easy listening jazz. Seems dated but good for evening back ground music.

New Forms by Roni Size
Mar 31 2025

Completely new to me; band and the music. Since there are 53 tracks on the album (20th Anniversary) I have been listening to snippets of many of the tracks. I know this is not a good way to review, but I am just getting my first impression. Odd, repedative, could be good background music or music to drive to. I will clearly listen more. It's that intriguing.

Arular by M.I.A.
Apr 30 2025

Interesting but unexceptional IMO. I may listen to it again. It's now going to skew my Spotify recommendations.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
May 01 2025

It was great at one time. Sounds dated.

Dummy by Portishead
May 08 2025

Lovely music. My high school age kids first got me into this music. Interesting stuff.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
May 09 2025

Blown away by Milton the first time I heard him on a Wayne Shorter in the 1970's. Followed up with the fantastic "Milton" album in 1975. Was enthralled by his music and voice for a while but slowly drifted away. Thanks for showcasing this also great earlier album.

Third by Portishead
May 19 2025
Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
May 23 2025

This is completely new to me. Electronic music with an earthy beat and sound. I won't listen to it often, but its worth a run through. Possibly background music for some part of my life......
