Various Artists - Everlasting: Ritchie Adams Songbook 1961-68 / Var - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2020 . Washed Out is Atlanta-based producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ernest Greene. Over three enchanting, critically-lauded albums and an EP, his music has proved both transportive and visual, each inviting listeners into immersive, self-contained universes. With Purple Noon, his fourth album, and his return to Sub Pop, he delivers the most accessible Washed Out creation to date. For Purple Noon, Greene again wrote, recorded, and produced the entirety of the album, with mixing handled by frequent collaborator Ben H. Allen (Paracosm, Within and Without). Production of the album followed a brief stint of writing for other artists (most notably Sudan Archives) which enabled Greene to explore genres like R&B and modern pop. These brighter, more robust sounds made their way into the songs of Purple Noon and mark a new chapter for Greene as a producer and songwriter. The vocals are front and center, tempos are slower, beats bolder, and there's a more comprehensive depth of dynamics. Capism of Washed Out's oeuvre, taking the music to dazzling new heights.

Genya Ravan /... AND I MEAN vinyl LP originally released1979 from the veteran singer/songwriter.

Jean-Yves Patte was inspired by the letters exchanged by Marcel Proust and his friend, Venezuelan composer Reynaldo Hahn, to recount this audio cartography of France in the Belle époque. Far from mundane clubs, both loved cabaret shows and their biting, poetic songs, as shown in the many allusions to songs found in the writer's 'In Search of Lost Time' as well as the composer's own written works. Now newly and fully restored from sound archives, one can find again the voices of Charlus, Mayol and Yvette Guilbert and feel the social scope of these popular treasures from the early twentieth century.
