Will Stratton - Points Of Origin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: With sober, unvarnished vocals front-and-center of the mix like never before in Stratton's music, the true focus of these songs is the captured, storied souls they contain. This approach calls to mind Lee Hazlewood's album Trouble is a Lonesome Town-tuneful portraits of an assembly of people lit in sharp relief against the ravages of the West-but many of the touchstones for this work are more filmic or literary than musical. Most of these songs occupy an entirely independent point of view - some are driven mad, some paranoid, some wistful, and in one thrilling instance the narration zooms out entirely, evoking the prehistoric sequences from Terrence Malick's Tree of Life. Stratton gives each new fictional perspective beautifully specific verbiage-who else could manage to squeeze InchAQI,Inch InchTioga Pass,Inch and InchVictorvilleInch into rhyming phrases?-that gives them an eerie, realistic quality. The silver-tongued mortgage spells of a real estate agent selling what is known to be a doomed property, in InchHigher and DrierInch-is buying a house in California necessarily a deal with the devil? One can't help but be reminded of Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of Inherent Vice - the ensemble cast, the film grain excellence, the general California-ness, the impending sense of doom. There are similarities in scope and pace, too, to the work of filmmaker Kelly Reichardt who, especially in the film Old Joy, let's dialogue wither among the grandeur of the trees. And much like in Richard Powers' tree opus The Overstory, these characters' lives in the shadows of the Earth are interconnected in deed and through the generations, interwoven like an ever-tightening snare grabbing the leg of a passing fox.

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.

It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide.

Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100. Bad peaked at #1 in thirteen countries and charted within the Top Twenty in other territories. Album Tracks 1. Bad 2. The Way You Make Me Feel 3. Speed Demon 4. Liberian Girl 5. Just Good Friends 1.
