a legendary masterpiece--I've only recently discovered--not that I haven't heard the gravitational sounds from this pivotal Isaac Hayes album or radio before. Now I feel it's important to get the word out, the Isaac Hayes version of Burt Bacharach's "Walk On By" and Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," are slow burn love songs lasting 12 and 18.5 minutes apiece. The 10-minute "Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic," caught me off guard, but now I'm hooked.

Lovers Rock ~ Sade

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Within the realm of love, hope, devotion, and heartbreak are the three fundamental elements which effect the human hart. Sade's fragile vocals and sensual and emotive instrumentation evokes the tender qualities of love and the bittersweet elements which play upon our emotions. I've enjoyed the careful unfolding of each of Sade's albums, always believing that the newest release is better than the last, "Love's Rock" has been at the top of my Sade play list for some time. It's a beautifully mature and open collection of contemporary torch/love songs, and instant classics which are so personal in feeling that they often feel as if they were written about your life.

Description

Ever since discovering the WFMU program "Radio Freetown" I've been hooked on African Funk. Lucky for me there seems to be a lot of music in the genre out there, I tend to look for collections like this one, which makes driving in L.A. an intoxicating experience.

Catch a Fire: Bob Marley & The Wailers

First to recommend

Description

After all these years I still can't gent enough of Bob Marley & The Wailers. With Bob Marley there seems to be no end to the variations in recordings, and recordings of classic Wailers tracks, the 2008 reissue of "Catch a Fire" contains two more songs that the previous Deluxe Edition, but I'm not going to split hairs here, more is more.
