Violence Unimagined. The title tells you everything you need to know about Cannibal Corpse’s fifteenth hellish opus. Comprised of eleven tracks, it is state of the art death metal played with passion and breathless precision, making for another flawless addition to what is inarguably one of the premier catalogues the genre has thrown up. “It really follows the path we’ve been going down for a few years now,” states bassist and founding member Alex Webster. “I think we approach the writing in a similar way most every time: each of us try to write the heaviest, most memorable songs we can. We want each song to have its own identifiable character. Showing my age, I like to say you can ‘drop the needle’ on any point of one of our albums and quickly tell which song you’re listening to.”

The world turns. Fashions change. Bands rise and fall. But you can’t stop the boogie. Fifty years after Canned Heat was founded by blues scholars Bob ‘The Bear’ Hite and Alan ‘Blind Owl’ Wilson in Topanga Canyon, California, the West Coast legends just keep rolling on down the road. “We’re all amazed and thankful that we’re still here,” explain the band, “living our dreams of making a living doing what we all love. Playing the blues, travelling the world and giving a taste of the boogie to audiences everywhere.”

Canned Heat’s third album Living The Blues from 1968 includes their 19-minute tour de force, Parthenogenesis which displays the band at their most experimental. Also featured is their incarnation of Henry Thomas’s Bull-Doze Blues where singer Al Wilson retained the tune of the original song, rewrote the lyrics and came up with Goin’ Up The Country, whose simple message caught the back-to-nature attitude of the late 1960s. The song went to number one in 25 countries around the world and became the unofficial theme song of Woodstock.

Canned Heat’s second album, released in 1968, includes their first hit single and one of the band’s signature songs, On The Road Again. On this release the psychedelic blues rockers loosen up a bit from their debut, moving toward rock while retaining their blues foundation. However, there is no indication on Boogie of the even looser improvisational material that was yet to come. In addition to On The Road Again the album includes two other Canned Heat favourites, Amphetamine Annie and Evil Woman, as well as a 12-minute version of Fried Hockey Boogie that established them with hippie audiences as “kings of the boogie.” This release features the classic Canned Heat lineup of Bob “The Bear” Hite, Al “Blind Owl” Wilson, drummer Bob Cook, Henry Vestine on guitar and bassist Larry Taylor.

Havana-born Latin music legends Candido and Graciela are two of the survivors of the Cubop movement of the late 1940s, which fused Cuban rhythms with big-band jazz. These masters of the art bring a unique style and easy camaraderie to this recording, highlighted by Graciela ‘s call-and-response interplay with the band and Candido’s subtle wizardry on the conga drums. What you have is inolvidable, unforgettable.

“… like stepping into a time machine back to the late 1940s, the golden age of the Palladium Ballroom … Candido displays a technique and sense of timing that is as natural as breathing … Graciela then adds the requisite majesty.” – Jazz Times

Longtime friends and musical collaborators Peter Epstein and Brad Shepik both became well established on the New York scene: Shepik as an intense and committed guitarist, Epstein as an equally versatile saxman, a superb composer and performer. It was Epstein who proposed this 2005 duo collaboration with both of them contributing pieces. Shepik suggested a young drummer he knew, Matt Kilmer, to complete the trio. The result, recorded in great sounding analogue, is alternately groove-based and more meditative, timeless, often with a folky feel.

2LP on 1SACD | Features Stereo and Multichannel Surround Sound | Label: Vocalion # CDLK 4614

70s magic from Percy Faith – two albums presented here in their quadrophonic mixes! Clair is a really wonderful album from Percy Faith – part of a handful of sweet 70s sides that really had him sounding a lot more groovy than before! The album almost has a 70s soundtrack vibe at times – with a mix of electric elements amidst the fuller orchestrations – all in a nicely compressed way that’s handled with the sort of production that must have made a record like this a real treat for the quadrophonic generation! There’s a bit of vocals at times – mostly wordless – and the tunes themselves really shape the grooviness of the album – with titles that include “Clair”, “Ben”, “Sweet Surrender”, “2001”, “I Can See Clearly Now”, “Summer Breeze”, and “Superfly”. Joy has the Percy Faith sound opening up in warm, mature modes for the 70s – still a fair bit of strings, but also maybe more of that careful couching of sound that could make 70s easy listening so different from the sound of a decade before! Some of the tunes here are a nice surprise – and include pop and soundtrack numbers that further take Percy into fresh territory – titles that include “Shaft”, “This Way Mary”, “Without You”, “Diamonds Are Forever”, “The Summer Knows”, “An Old Fashioned Love Song”, and “Gypsies Tramps & Thieves”.
