This debut recording by Ancient Future leader Matthew Montfort showcases his pioneering work on the scalloped fretboard guitar, a special modified instrument able to produce ornaments more characteristic of the sitar. While previously known more for his compositions for the trendsetting world music group Ancient Future, this first solo effort features his improvisational music.

As leader of the world music group Ancient Future, Matthew Montfort has devoted himself to the scalloped fretboard guitar since 1978. He spent years of study with some of the world’s best musicians, such as gamelan director K.R.T. Wasitodipuro, North Indian sarod master Ali Akbar Khan, and vina master K.S. Subramanian, with whom he did an intensive study of South Indian note-bending techniques. He has performed concerts worldwide, from the Festival Internacional de la Guitarra on the golden coast of Spain to the Festival of India in Mumbai. He has worked with many world music legends, including tabla phenomenon Zakir Hussain and Chinese zither master Zhao Hui. Montfort wrote the book “Ancient Traditions – Future Possibilities: Rhythmic Training Through the Traditions of Africa, Bali, and India,” which has been used by many musicians to improve their rhythm skills.

Bobby Valentino's "The Rebirth"

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Bobby Valentino's new CD "The Rebirth" comes out just in time for Valentine's Day on February 10th. It is the perfect Valentine's gift for anyone who loves R&B, Soul or Pop; or is a fan of Ne-Yo, The Dream, Jamie Foxx, Usher or Chris Brown. I recommend it for just about anyone between 16-35, male or female.

Past hits "Blackberry Molasses", "Tell Me" & "Slow Down" are a few of my favorite tunes of his; he's got a sexy voice that's slow, soft & velvety smooth! I cannot wait to get this CD! (via Amazon)

Tonight :Franz Ferdinand

3 people recommended this item

Description

For your Valentine - Franz Ferdinand's Rock/Pop/Alternative sound is sure to please anyone who is a fan of: The Killers, Kings of Leon, TV on the Radio, Snow Patrol or GlasVegas.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Customer Review:
Their Best Album Yet. More new wave sounding, more synths, more melodic, sexy - their best album yet, beating the second album by miles.

The spark to a revolutionary slew in British and American guitar-based rockers and the blueprint to that retro sound that tore up charts in 2004, Scottish foursome Franz Ferdinand always towered above many of their peers with their concise blasts of tuneful guitar hooks, dance rhythms, and singer Alex Kapranos' wry, irrepressibly clever lyrics. Franz Ferdinand's third album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, has been three years in the making, and longtime fans expecting a return to the angular post-punk guitar ricochets of You Could Have It So Much Better and their self-titled debut will be more than a little disappointed with this latest outing. Kapranos himself has stated that Tonight was to be "quite new . . . quite different sounding from everything we've ever done before." This is undoubtedly true, but for all the benefits of evolving, not everything on Tonight is up to the standard of the band's seminal earlier work.

Leona's new release is for any lover of Pop, Rock, Adult Contemporary and R&B; Lady GaGa, Larry Cook, Jennifer Hudson, Franz Ferdinand, Maria Carey, Natasha Bedingfield are sure to love her new CD.

Best Kept Secret is 10-song R&B Masterpiece that showcases her incredible ability as singer and songwriter. In fact, many predict Leona would have achieved superstardom with this album.

In addition, Spirit has sold more than 1.17 million copies in the U.S according to Nielsen SoundScan, making 23-year-old Lewis the seventh bestselling artist in the country so far in 2008.

Beyond the incredible record breaking sales and radio stories, Leona has been embraced by the the media: Oprah Winfrey exclaimed: Wow, Talk about a Star Is Born! You re the real deal, girl! Blender s cover story stated Mariah, Leona Lewis is Pops Next Megastar and Vibe describes her as a balladeer with grace, vivacity, and dignity...with a strong lithe tone that could peel paint!

2009 album from the Denver-based quartet, the follow-up to their enormously successful How To Save A Life. The Fray, who exploded into worldwide success with that album, have captured the skilled songwriting that broke them and, with the help of acclaimed producers Mike Flynn and Aaron Johnson, created a set of songs sure to make them household names. The band continues their licensing success story by collaborating with ABC's hit show, Lost in a series of music video promos featuring the album's first single, 'You Found Me' for the newest season of the show. The spots also ran during the 2008 American Music Awards, where the band was a featured performer. Over the weekend of the release and performance, the Lost video had over one million views.
