	The Head On The Door Used Import - R1 60435 Repress of the 2016 180gm Rhino Records reissue; EU import. Longer rim text on this pressing. Released in 1985, this record marked a pivotal moment for The Cure, showcasing a remarkable expansion of their sonic palette. It skillfully navigated the band's established melancholic atmosphere with an invigorated pop sensibility. The album's diverse tracks seamlessly blend moments of introspection with an undeniable melodic sheen, resulting in their most accessible and appealing work up to that point. Its sound is characterized by a distinctive fusion of bright, jangly guitars and shimmering synthesizers, all anchored by Robert Smith's emotive vocals and often cryptic lyrical themes. The collection features several standout pieces that quickly became staples, resonating widely on alternative airwaves. Tracks like "In Between Days" and "Close to Me" exemplify the album's ability to craft infectious hooks without sacrificing the group's signature depth. This release successfully bridged the gap between their earlier, more somber explorations and a newfound embrace of pop songwriting, demonstrating that their creative vision could encompass both light and shadow. It remains a fan favorite and a critical success, celebrated for its unique balance and its role in broadening the band's appeal while maintaining artistic integrity. ... more
	Can't Buy A Thrill Used - Vinyl - B0035111-01 2022 remastered gatefold reissue. "Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were remarkable craftsmen from the start, as Steely Dan's debut, Can't Buy a Thrill, illustrates. Each song is tightly constructed, with interlocking chords and gracefully interwoven melodies, buoyed by clever, cryptic lyrics. All of these are hallmarks of Steely Dan's signature sound, but what is most remarkable about the record is the way it differs from their later albums. Of course, one of the most notable differences is the presence of vocalist David Palmer, a professional blue-eyed soul vocalist who oversings the handful of tracks where he takes the lead. Palmer's very presence signals the one major flaw with the album -- in an attempt to appeal to a wide audience, Becker and Fagen tempered their wildest impulses with mainstream pop techniques. Consequently, there are very few of the jazz flourishes that came to distinguish their albums -- the breakthrough single, "Do It Again," does work an impressively tight Latin jazz beat, and "Reelin' in the Years" has jazzy guitar solos and harmonies -- and the production is overly polished, conforming to all the conventions of early-'70s radio. Of course, that gives these decidedly twisted songs a subversive edge, but compositionally, these aren't as innovative as their later work. Even so, the best moments ("Dirty Work," "Kings," "Midnight Cruiser," "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again") are wonderful pop songs that subvert traditional conventions and more than foreshadow the paths Steely Dan would later take."

	Low Colored Vinyl - Used - DB 77821 2022 45th Anniversary Pressing On Limited Edition Orange Vinyl. Housed In A Crisp Textured Jacket Includes Printed Inner Sleeve And Rear Cover Track Listing Sticker. David Bowie's 1977 release, Low, marked a dramatic pivot in his illustrious career, signaling a daring plunge into experimental soundscapes. Recorded primarily in France and West Berlin, this seminal work found Bowie shedding his previous glam-rock and soul personas for a more austere, fragmented aesthetic. The album's first half presents a collection of concise, often anxious art-pop tracks, characterized by angular arrangements and distinctive vocal treatments that hint at a restless psyche. This initial suite of songs, while still bearing Bowie's unmistakable melodic sensibility, introduced listeners to a colder, more detached sonic palette, reflecting a period of profound personal and artistic transformation for the artist. The album's second half ventures into entirely different territory, offering expansive, largely instrumental compositions that are atmospheric and deeply introspective. These ambient soundscapes, often credited to collaborative efforts and the influence of European electronic music, evoke desolate urban environments and inner psychological states, pushing the boundaries of what was considered popular music at the time. While initially perplexing to some, Low quickly gained recognition as a groundbreaking masterpiece, profoundly influencing subsequent generations of musicians across genres like post-punk, new wave, and electronic music. Its enduring legacy lies in its audacious exploration of sonic minimalism and emotional complexity, solidifying its status as a pivotal and visionary statement within contemporary music history. ... more
