DJ Morris - Third Pleasure - CD5 MAXI-SINGLE

While Miami Beach is well known as a vacation spot, it's signature mix of house, Chill-out and lounge music is also becoming a landmark. The SFP group of labels became the Global night clubber's soundtrack as DJs all over the four continents like Danny Rampling, Carl Cox, and/or Pete Tong, spun and compiled many tracks released by SFP's labels on more than a thousand different compilations. This single, featuring 3 mixes produced by Noel W. Sanger & DJ Crown-One, is from the SFP offshoot Manga Beat. All original 12Inch mixes.

Digitally remastered edition. Includes OBI, cardboard jacket, paper inner sleeve and Polycarbonate disc with original record tag. This late-period LP by this great blue-eyed soul band finds them putting their own rockin' spins on Motown hits, a song penned by Barry Gibb, Percy Mayfield's signature smash and more. This polycarbonate CD has the look and feel of a mini-vinyl disc Rare Earth's renditions of InchI Heard It Through the Grapevine,Inch InchStop Her on Sight (S.O.S.),Inch InchI Wish It Would Rain,Inch InchWhen a Man Loves a Woman,Inch InchMy Eyes OnlyInch and more!

This was my first encounter with the music of Amy Beach, an American pianist and composer of the early 1900s. I was thunderstruck by it. I asked fellow European and American musicians, pianists, conductors, soloists and musicologists who gravitate around my Theater (Teatro alla Scala, Milano) if they had any information on her, but to no avail. No one knew her. Some had heard her name, but no one had actually listened to her compositions. Today I can say that Amy Beach is almost unknown in America. I can also say that she is unknown in Europe, given the caliber of the musicians I talked to about her, and the fact that they hadn't heard of her. Starting with manuscripts requested from the University of New Hampshire, I began transcribing four pieces and a sonata, originally written for Violin and Cello and Piano, into a version for Viola and Piano. I discovered that, not only the music, but also the incredible life of Mrs. H. H. A. Beach (that is how she signed her compositions) is a beautiful novel that remained locked in a drawer all this time. In fact, I have every intention of reopening that drawer through this CD and through the musical edition that printed my transcriptions for Viola and Piano. I believe that the instrument of the Viola and it's alto key have given a new color to this music, enhancing it, but never altering it's true essence. Born with this CD is a project of popularization and knowledge of Amy Beach's compositions and life story, a story and music that are at once incredibly modern and of other times. Matteo Amadasi
