Nick Cave - Grinderman Album : Grinderman Artist : Nick Cave Release Date : 2007 Lable : Anti Genre : Rock Total time : 00:39:58 Total size : 91,7 MB Tracks : 1. Get It On 2. No Pussy Blues 3. Electric Alice 4. Grinderman 5. Depth Charge Ethel 6. Go Tell the Women 7. (I Don't Need You to) Set Me Free 8. Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars) 9. Man in the Moon 10. When My Love Comes Down 11. Love Bomb @320 Kbit/s mp3 Amazon.com The story of Grinderman begins within the working processes of another band: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. At the start of 2004, when Nick Cave took a small team of Bad Seeds members -- violinist Warren Ellis, bassist Martyn Casey and drummer Jim Sclavunos -- off to the tiny Misère studio in Paris for a songwriting session, they effectively established a new band. The small combo configuration of Nick, Warren, Marty and Jim had its public debut in a showcase performance to promote the Bad Seeds Nocturama album; the foursome continued working in this streamlined format, getting together frequently for Nick Cave "solo" tours. Born of babbling lyrics hatched from Bosch eggshells in the Hyde-bound apocalyptic margins of the Cave brain, the Grinderman sound is an instinctual yawlp that also resurrects the demons of each musician's past: the trashcan proselytising of Birthday Party -era Nick; Sclavunos' late 70s New York no-wave noise wisdom; Martyn Casey's ominous Triffids bass reverb; plus Ellis' avant-garde soundtrack work and his teenage love of Black Sabbath. Destination: Out! Grinderman sound different from everyone, including themselves. As Memphis Slim put it back in 1941, "While everything is quiet and easy/ Mr. Grinder can have his way." It's a new day. God help you all. Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/210863972/__2007_NiCaGrinder__320.rar

They are the unmatched masters of the South African a cappella form known as isicathamiya or mbube, and this CD demonstrates their vocal prowess. The Zulu songs are ornamented by trills, yips, humming and tra-la-las and punctuated by the rhythmic clicks that are particular to the language. The English-language songs instruct and advise on the fine moral points of human relationships. While the mbube song form lends a certain similarity to the pieces, this group is so good that the music never seems redundant and the generous selection of 16 songs seems to go by too quickly.

Born in Costa Rica in 1919, she first sang on a professional level in the early '50s, and toured with the legendary José Alfredo Jiménez. Her first recordings appeared in 1961, and she became quite popular during the 1960s and '70s, both in her native land as well as across the ocean in Spain and Europe. Although she retired in 1979, a victim of alcoholism, Vargas returned in 1990 after accepting a role in the Werner Herzog film A Cry of Stone. One year later, she contributed a song to the soundtrack of Tacones Lejanos, and in 1993 she entered a recording studio for the first time in decades.

Bring Down The Reign @ 192 Kbit/s mp3 Product Description (Amazon.com) The Queen is Back! Legendary singer songwriter Donna Summer is back with her first studio album in 17 years. In the thirty plus years that Donna Summer has been making music she has never confined her artistry to just one genre. Although Donna is, and will always be, "The Queen Of Disco" to many fans, her hits have spanned multiple musical genres from Rock to R&B to Inspirational and of course, Dance. Summer helped to define the 70's pop music generation and Crayons has all the characteristics that made Donna an icon. Containing a potent mix of the up-tempo tunes and ballads, the new album showcases incredible new material that is written by Donna (who wrote or co-wrote the majority of her hits of the 70's and 80's). Working with Donna were renowned writers and producers including: Greg Kurstin (Lilly Allen, Pink), Danielle Brisebois (Natasha Bedingfield, New Radicals), JR Rotem (Sean Kingston, Rihanna), Evan Bogart (co-writer of Rihanna's smash "SOS" and the son of legendary record executive, Casablanca Records founder and Donna's mentor, Neil Bogart), and Lester Mendez (Shakira, Santana). Having secured their status as art-rock legends during the 90s … lionised by the likes of Radiohead and REM… it is clear that the best was yet to come, as dEUS stake out bold new frontiers for themselves on what is surely one of the finest albums of 2008 … Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/117319776/P_2008_DoSuCray.rar Links checked on 17/04/09 by link checker bot

Sunset Road @320Kbit/s mp3 + FLAC & CUE *********** Fans of legendary jazz pianist Chick Corea and bebop/bluegrass banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck are well aware of the pair's previous collaborations (Corea guests on two Flecktones albums, and Fleck appears on Corea's Rendezvous in New York DVD), but their first full-length release should surprise even their most jaded followers. The two went into the project with intense seriousness of purpose, Corea writing four pieces and Fleck six. (The standard "Brazil" is their only cover.) They push each other hard in adapting their instruments to genres (bluegrass, country, Latin, ragtime, classical, blues, and world) normally outside their idioms, Corea playing 'grassy banjo patterns on the piano on Fleck's mournful "Mountain" and Fleck stretching on Corea's suite-like "Joban Dna Nopia." With few exceptions, the compositions are only frameworks for vast improvisation, which might be expected. But instead of setting each other up for extended solos, Corea and Fleck join together with breathtaking precision and verve, weaving and intertwining through remarkable contrapuntal excursions, only to break and meet up again in perfect sync. Despite the thrill of Fleck's chromatic chases and classical flirtations and Corea's mastery of difficult lines on Fleck's rippling "Spectacle," one can't help but think they would have benefited from a tad more instrumentation--especially bass and percussion. Perhaps that's the next step this wickedly inventive duo wll take in their ongoing odyssey of genius. --Alanna Nash Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/320734401/links_Fleck___Corea.txt

Born in Daghestan, Eliyahu has been active in Israel in a variety of frameworks, teaching and performing the classical music of the East since he immigrated to Israel in 1989. The compositions on this CD reflect the influence of several eastern musical cultures, in particular classical Persian music, Azeri and Turkish music. His compositions combine elements from these traditions, especially the use of the modal system (makam) and rhythmic cycles (usul), metered compositions in fixed forms, a preference for unison textures, mixture of eastern and western instruments and spaces for improvisation by the performers. This fascinating combination of traditions results in this Israeli composer's unique style. Eliyahu's sensitive vocal composition demands virtuoso performers. The composer created the compositions on this CD for the voices of outstanding vocalists from the East, such as Alim Qasimov and his daughter Ferghana, as well as for Israeli specialists in the eastern tradition such as Esti Kenan Ofri. Numerous instrumental soloists are featured in the performances of the compositions included in this CD. Most of these musicians are new immigrants from the former Soviet Union. These instrumentalists have worked together with Piris Eliyahu over the years in several ensembles. One of these groups, the DŠm Ensemble, is sponsored by the Confederation House as one of its house ensembles. Its establishment is part of the Confederation House's project aimed at encouraging and preserving the Jewish musical traditions of Central Asia in Israel. The recent musical compositions by Eliyahu are an original contribution and a landmark in modern Israeli music. They synthesize a variety of closely related eastern musical sources, made possible in part by the composer's familiarity with them, as well as his access to some of the finest native performers from Central Asia who until now were unavailable to Israeli composers.

Bach. As his compatriot Pablo Casals's performances of the Bach cello suites added so much to the great composer's reputation, Segovia's performances of Bach's lute suites and other works greatly enhanced the public's perception of the Leipzig master as the most "universal" of composers. His playing imbues Bach's music with a very special warmth and humanity. This disc is one of the most important and rewarding in the Segovia discography. --David Hurwitz Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/275260111/C_Guitar_1988_SegoviaCollectionVol1__Bach___256.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/275263750/C_Guitar_1988_SegoviaCollectionVol1__Bach___256.part2.rar Links checked on 17/04/09 by link checker bot

Djeema Moroc 2. Essaouira 3. Moulay Idriss 4. I Moussam Tan Tan 5. Aid El Kebir 6. Moulay Bousselham @ 256 Kbit/s mp3 Part of a family of well-respected musicians and instrument makers, Mahmoud Ghania has become one of foremost exponents Gnaoua ceremonial music (In the 16th century, the Gnaoua came to Morocco as slaves from Mali and Guinea). His main instrument is the guimbri, a deep-toned, three-string lute that usually is heard atop a chorus of metal clappers called krkbaks and the occasional bendir frame drum and ghaita horn. And while Ghania often plays in traditional Gnaoua settings, he has also contributed to hundreds of sessions by both Berber orchestras and pop contingents in Casablanca and Marrakesh. This 1999 recording finds Ghania performing six traditional Gnaoua pieces, including two mesmerizing long-players which open the disc. The album title is in reference to Ghania's birthplace and home, Essaouira; it's the Gnaoua people who reside there that he celebrates in this fine collection. ~ Stephen Cook, All Music Guide Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/325388506/W_Gnawa_1999_MahmoudGaniaGnawaEssaouira__256.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/325392120/W_Gnawa_1999_MahmoudGaniaGnawaEssaouira__256.part2.rar

A virtuoso pianist, Alaoui has performed in concert with such Moroccan artists as Djamchid Chemirani, Pedro Soler, Hameed Khan, Pablo Cueco, Hughes de Courson, and Luis Llach and has composed and played music for many of the country's top choreographers. Born in Fez, Morocco, Alaoui enrolled in the Conservatory of Rabat at the age of six. In addition to studying classical piano, she studied traditional Arabic-Andalusian music and Moroccan and Middle Eastern dance. She published her first collection of poems at the age of ten. Although she studied philosophy and linguistics (Arabic, French, and Spanish) at the University of Rabat, Alaoui continued to focus on music. She studied Persian classical music with Djalal Akhbari and European medieval music with Henri Agnel. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide mp3: http://rapidshare.com/files/286454551/W_Morocco_1998_AminaAlcantara__256.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/286457900/W_Morocco_1998_AminaAlcantara__256.part2.rar FLAC: http://rapidshare.com/files/297663083/links_Alcantara_FLAC.txt

The Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo has been a fixture on the world music scene since the early 1990s, with the success of her first internationally released album, PARAKOU. Her inclusive style blends African, Caribbean, Brazilian, and Western rock musical influences in an irresistible potpourri, crowned with her powerful, distinctive voice, which can turn on a dime from sweet to savage. Helmed by the veteran producer Tony Visconti, DJIN DJIN follows Kidjo's practice, established on previous albums, of featuring high-caliber guest vocalists, including in this case Peter Gabriel, Ziggy Marley, and Alicia Keys. The wide-ranging set encompasses the haunting, swaying "Salala," the delicate title track, and a typical Kidjo-style Africanized reworking of the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" (on past albums she has also reinterpreted classics such as Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" and Serge Gainsbourg's "Ces Petits Riens"). It's a testament to her formidable musical personality and impeccable musical taste that, despite the presence of her high-powered guests, Kidjo puts her unique stamp on this impressive and eclectic collection.

Ondeia (Agua/Water) @ 192 Kbit/s mp3 Armed with a tape recorder, Portuguese chanteuse Dulce Pontes wandered her native country collecting sonic inspiration for her fifth and finest recording, O Primeiro Canto. Deeply influenced by fado, contemporary, and traditional folk song, Pontes approached this recording nakedly, distilling its sound to that of strictly acoustic accompaniment, a bold move which allows her superbly crystalline vocals to weave the album's through-line. Far more enamored with passion and tactility rather than technique, Pontes organically creates a holistic emotional posture that is malleable, romantic, and sensually awake, suffering not from lack of finesse. Pontes is in possession of a remarkably facile gift: a voice which rings true with each gorgeously stunning note. --Paige La Grone Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/285944105/W_Fado_1999_ODulceCanto__192.rar
