The Decemberists - Tain - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

John Eliot Gardiner TITLE Purcell King Arthur (2CD) tag PRX/Warner Classics/Parlophone - With it's lavish music and elaborate staging, the semi-opera King Arthur is one of the master-pieces in Purcell's works. On a text by the poet John Dryden very freely inspired from Arthurian legend and specifically devised for him, Purcell created a work of great expressive intensity which includes many of his most beautiful and well-known arias The importance of Monteverdi to John Eliot Gardiner is signalled by the fact that, when he founded a choir in 1964, it was for a performance of Monteverdi Vespers. The Monteverdi Choir went on to celebrate it's 50th anniversary in 2014 with a performance of the same work. Units Per Set 2

Drawing comparisons to Belle And Sebastian (but dirtier) and Neurtal Mile Hotel (but poppier) the group really rides under the banner of the famed Big Music movement of the mid-80s that birthed such legendary pop groups as Big Country, World Party and the WAterboys. This debut CD features a full-color 12-page booklet with lyrics and illustrations by Carson Ellis.

Vinyl LP pressing. Live by Yo Rep (B.O.N.E. Dis) is an EP by Three 6 Mafia, followed by their previous debut album Mystic Stylez. The title track is a diss song directed at Bone Thugs-n-Harmony propelled by the at-the-time beef between the two groups.
