Owen Gray - Dancing On The Beach - The Early Years 1960-1962 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: Still going strong in 2023, pioneering Jamaican singer Owen Gray was one of the first local artists to get on record in the late 1950s and one of the first to top the local charts when they were introduced back in 1959. He was also the very first Jamaican popular vocalist to an album comprising R&B and pop rather than the island's earlier indigenous music mento or calypso. InchOwen Gray SingsInch was a landmark in the history of what became reggae and also in the history of Island Records' founder Chris Blackwell, who produced it in the days before Island existed. The album features here in it's entirety in this Jasmine collection of early Owen - for the first time on CD, we believe - along with more than a dozen other examples of his work for other notable Jamaican producers of the pre-Ska era, among them Simeon 'Little Wonder' Smith, Clement 'Sir Coxson' Dodd and Prince Buster, all of them fine examples of how rapidly the Jamaican recording business was evolving in it's early years. Jamaican popular music didn't really have a name in these times, but in the UK it became known as 'Blue Beat' after the record tag on which so much of it was released between 1960 and 1967. Here on InchDancing On The BeachInch are many of the very best of Owen's blue beat-era recordings presented, as with all Jasmine CDs, in the highest possible audio quality with expert remastering and copious annotation. There's plenty more to compile if a second volume is warranted. Album Tracks 1. I Feel Good 2. Someone Help Me 3. Far Love - Owen Gray and the Caribs 4.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
