Ursula Mamlok - Ursula Mamlok 4 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

On October 6, 1927, the American public watched in amazement at the first world projection of a sound film, The Jazz Singer, a production composed of several sung scenes. A formula whose French production hastily seized, coupling popular tunes to the film narrative. The result was an artistic bond that gave birth to many masterpieces of the song and the big screen, coupled with a long tradition of singers-actors, including Baker, Chevalier, Trenet, Piaf, Montand, Bardot and many others, whose voices are inevitably associated with the rich hours of French cinema.

Blumental / Barentzen / Tagliaferro - Symphony 4 [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/01/2011

The Search for God is a wake-up call for a troubled world that's still worth saving, animated by a belief in the power of small connections to add up to big changes. Jimmy Whispers' long-awaited sophomore album was created in the wake of COVID isolation, and returns to some teen influences out of step with the chill/lo-fi LA indie rock scene he's found himself lumped in with. After embracing sobriety, and now as a filmmaker sharing the stories of lesser known Los Angeles community members, he's brought his dreaming down to earth, while turning it's direction even further out. Created mostly with two vintage synths, a single Roland CR5000 drum machine, and a busted karaoke machine, it channels Midwestern emo, the Beach Boys' Smile, subtle nods at hyper-pop production, and forgotten jewel-box era college radio of the early aughts into a pure pop sound that transcends easy categorization.1.
