Federal Duck - Federal Duck - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

From the offices I'm leasing on NW Third and Glisan, a polka-dotted Datsun's broken-down. The InchofficesInch are bar stools at a bygone Old Town tavern. The Datsun is youth, recklessness, lust for life-traits that make an idealized, overly romantic version of love so desirable, and also attributes that, sans brakes, make deep connection so frustratingly unattainable. Such is a typical quip from the diverse, uproarious full-length debut album by Portland's Big Duck. The 10-song collection draws comfortably from post-punk, blue-eyed soul, chicken-pickin' country and anthemic rock, and exhibits a skilled but shambolic sound honed via 8 years of high-energy live shows. Featuring Dylan Esmonde, Robbie Aldworth, Chris Fanshier and Jay Boss Rubin, Big Duck is a bonafide original, homegrown in Rose City. Album Tracks 1. Linnton Suicide 2. Wildfire 3. I Don't Believe You, Baby 4. Crows Gulls Geese 5. Car Song 6. Hotel in the Sky 7. Pencil Thin Mustache 8. Oregon City Blues 9. Maria on the Interstate 10. Party (I Just Like to)

Mixed by Australian sonic guru Forrester Savell, and with original character artwork by Lance Myers (Space Jam), InchDUCKInch is The Aristocrats' first new studio album in five years. And it's clear that Guthrie Govan, Bryan Beller and Marco Minnemann have taken their collective artistry to a whole new mindblowing - albeit ridiculous - level. Album Tracks 1. Hey, Where's My Drink Package? 2. Aristoclub 3. SGT. Rockhopper 4. Sittin' with a Duck on a Bay 5. Here Come the Builders 6. Muddle Through 7. Slideshow 8. And Then There Were Just Us/Duck's End 9. This Is Not Scrotum

The Link Between 'Round About Midnight and Kind of Blue Milestones Is the Only Album Featuring Miles Davis' Original Sextet with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, and MoreSourced from the Original Master Tapes Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g SuperVinyl LP Presents the 1958 Record in Definitive StereoRTI-Pressed SuperVinyl LP Benefits from Virtually Nonexistent Noise Floor and Superior Groove DefinitionMiles Davis created just one studio album with his original sextet Milestones. And he made every moment count. Pairing with Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones, Davis not only laid the groundwork for the modalism that immediately followed but tailored a genuine modern-jazz masterwork laden with performances among the most explosive of his distinguished career. Sandwiched between the more famous 'Round About Midnight and the epochal Kind of Blue, Milestones remains a seminal work of art.Sourced from the original master tapes and pressed on dead-quiet SuperVinyl, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g LP grants each musician their own space amid broad soundstages. Afforded the benefits of a nearly non-existent noise floor and supreme groove definition, this vinyl reissue doubles as a time machine back to the February-March 1958 recording sessions.Colors, shapes, and dimensions appear in the manner that resembles what you'd glean from behind a studio control room's window. Davis' burnished trumpet is rendered in three-dimensional perspective and seemingly coaxes the band to play with unburdened zest. Coltrane's trademark saxophone teems with lifelike tonality and images with specificity; his solos work in tandem with and against the driving rhythms. Garland's swaggering piano lines? Visualize the keys as he hits full stride, the chords and fills slithering around skeletal frameworks.Inducted into the Grammy Hall
