Various Artists: The Very Best of Christmas

Read "The Very Best of Christmas" reviewed by Jeff Winbush

by Jeff Winbush

Christmas albums are the Valentine's Day and Halloween cards of the recording industry: a simple and short-term product that is featured for public consumption for a limited time and then put away until next year. There's no rule that says you can't listen to and enjoy an album of holiday-themed music whenever the urge strikes. It ...

Various Artists: Jazz Around The World

Read "Jazz Around The World" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

Putumayo World Music is a unique record label. It is a label of “various artists" projects, but what sets it apart from other labels that produce compilations of music is that Putumayo compilations are well off even the road less travelled. First of all, the label compiles not so much songs by artists, but music that ...

Various Artists: Contemporary Ragtime Guitar

Read "Contemporary Ragtime Guitar" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert

Most people's knowledge of ragtime doesn't go past a few classic Scott Joplin compositions, and practitioners of the style today (not to mention composers) are few and far between. However, there has always been a small cadre of guitarists devoted to playing traditional and original ragtime tunes, and most of them are quite good at adapting ...

Various Artists: Hur! Hommage a la Musique de Christian Vander

Read "Hur! Hommage a la Musique de Christian Vander" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

When French drummer/composer Christian Vander put together the first incarnation of his since-enduring group Magma, releasing Kobaïa (Seventh Records) in 1970, it's unlikely that he'd have known the musical subculture he was spawning. A unique blend of fusion, neoclassicism, symphonic, and progressive rock, heavily reliant on relentless repetition and chanting in Vander's created Kobaïan language, Zeuhl ...

Various Artists: Rocksteady: The Roots Of Reggae

Read "Rocksteady: The Roots Of Reggae" reviewed by Chris May

by Chris May

The lovingly conceived, brilliantly executed, multi-platform Rocksteady: The Roots Of Reggae aims to achieve the same sort of museum piece-to-modernity transformation for Jamaican rocksteady that Buena Vista Social Club (World Circuit, 1996) created for Cuban music of an earlier era. As with Buena Vista, there's a CD, a movie and a package tour. The CD features ...

Various Artists: Creative Outlaws: UK Underground 1965-71

Read "Creative Outlaws: UK Underground 1965-71" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

Although the title might be a little misleading--there are enough acts here with eyes on the financial prize, as opposed to the wholesale reconstruction of society after all--this is still a compilation that encapsulates a vibrant and diverse moment in the history of popular culture and indeed British social history. The underground, through the prism of ...
