Mezzanine (Digipak)

Search: Exchange
by: Massive Attack

Release Date April 20, 1998
Teardrop is obviously the stand out song from this album and is most likely the soul reason why people buy it, but whilst being quite different from the other tracks it fits in somehow. This is the kind of album you can just go out to, travel, and it suits urban surroundings so much its almost cinematic. Whilst Angel and Teardrop are the strongest songs, Dissolved Girl and Rising Son both have bags of catchy melody. Rising Son and Group Four have similar patterns in that they both end up breaking down the song into one very catchy riff of some sort, making it the pinnacle of the song. Although the album does sound very drug inducing, it can be enjoyed either way really. One downside to the album is some of the repetitiveness from one of the ... Read More:

Live at Lovely

Search: Exchange
by: Takeo Moriyama Quartet

Release Date June 27, 2000
...no, but seriously this is very very very impressive. For quite a long time I was looking for something particular in Jazz and especially for something Japanese and here I just found something I did not know about, but exactly what I was looking for inside myself. Takeo Moriyama kills the drums and himself- he simply batters his spirits out and the drumming really is furious and perhaps the most impressive in years. The trio that supports him are the bassist, pianist and saxophonist, Right- four out of hte five compositions on this CD are composed by Fumio Itabayashi, who, if I am not mistaken, is the pianist and the only other one is Hush-a-Bye. So, it is mainly original Japanese stuff- it is very strong throughout and the great thing is ... Read More:
