About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: Wildfire was a household name in Tropical Island music circles due to their excellent albums and performances throughout Trinidad, Tobago, the Caribbean & US Virgin Islands and French Guadeloupe. In 1962 they started off as 'The Sparks' (a well-respected Calypso outfit who released a bunch of successful singles) but with the of their hit single 'Come On Down' from 1975, they exploded into Wildfire. Wildfire had a very fruitful career and released four top full-length albums and a vast amount of singles before calling it quits. Led by bandleader Oliver Chapman (bass & guitar player, vocalist, arranger, producer and co-writer for the majority of the bands' songs) and comprised out of high talented musicians, Wildfire was out there with the big boys in the niche they carved out for themselves. On the album we are presenting you today (Time Is The Answer from 1980) you'll find the perfect mix of funk, soul and disco, basically the popular sounds of the day, and all tracks are originals. The album is FUNKY and the production quality can rival with any of their peers and records produced/recorded in the US. The performance of Wildfire on this album is beyond excellent. This was also the first time the group took control over production and getting their album out in the world. Also included is the hit single 'Say A Little Prayer For The Children' which is just one of those songs that will be stuck in your head forever. Besides virtuoso Oliver Chapman the talent that was featured on 'Time Is The Answer' is exceptional. Anstey Hamilton carries around a rich noticeable tenor voice. Arthur Byron who also did vocals on the album, has a beautiful rasping tone that can knock you out anytime he gets into his act. Fitzroy Isaac on keyboards and Donald Leid on drums are the guys that were responsible for keeping the groove tight. Clifford Wilson like Oliver had been wit

Vinyl LP pressing. Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits is the only greatest hits album by rock band Alice Cooper, and their last as a band. Released in 1974, it features hit songs from all of their studio albums, but does not include any material from their first two albums Pretties for You or Easy Action. This compilation's song versions were remixed by Jack Richardson at the time, with the remix of InchI'm EighteenInch being released as a single in the US. The reason behind remixing the songs was perhaps to boost it's appeal as InchnewInch versions because no new tracks were available for inclusion by the group as they were on hiatus at the time. Album Tracks 1. I'm Eighteen 2. Is It My Body 3. Desperado 4. Under My Wheels 5. Be My Lover 6. School's Out 1. Hello Hooray 2. Elected 3. No More Mr. Nice Guy 4. Billion Dollar Babies 5. Teenage Lament '74 6. Muscle of Love
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
