Nowhere is the duo trying to truly show off their adept playing chops, never feeling the need to wow the listener with a ripping piano solo or a “Movies” by Weyes Blood-esque fast-building string crescendo. Album opener “Our Lord Debussy” creates an entire melancholic universe with just a few piano chords as synthesizers and strings weave in and out of the soundscape. O’Halloran and Wiltzie do a lot with a little. It’s easily one of the prettiest albums of 2019.

The Undivided Five-A Winged Victory for the Sullen’s’s first full release since their soundtrack for 2016 French erotic thriller Iris and their first non-score album since their self-titled debut in 2011 (2014’s Atomos scored a piece by modern dance giant Wayne McGregor)-feels bigger and brighter than ever, filled to the brim with beautiful, slow-building piano and perfectly programmed synthesizers. A Winged Victory for the Sullen: The Undivided Five
It’s the sonic equivalent of sprawling out in the sunshine. The entire album is full of instrumental bliss, but you may be happy just listening to album opener “The Light” on repeat for a few hours. If every coffee shop played this album on rainy afternoons instead of the Coffeehouse Sirius/XM station or whatever Spotify playlist the barista felt like brewing to that day, we’d all be happier java patrons. Lots of quantity deal making for this stuff.If slow-burning ambience is what you’re after for a study session, look no further than The Album Leaf’s 2006 album Into the Blue Again, a sort of instrumental take on bands like Yo La Tengo. Meanwhile,a real record store gets Grandpa's collection instead of Goodwill and puts them our for a buck or less. Dick Schory's Chicago entries are fun(also look for Schory's other RCA percussion extravaganzas)!Īntique stores are the best place to get ripped off,outside of Ebay folk who think their doo-doo smells better than most. These are "ping-pong" albums planned to give that new fangled Magnavox a work out and give the guests a head spin from speaker to speaker and back:"The sound your eyes could follow" The Esquivel LP is kinda desired because he was involved in the '90s lounge throwback,but most are dirt cheap well taken care of if the owner put the album on tape and rarely played the LP. These are those thick cardboard LPs,with a diecut for artwork that housed a sturdy shiny insert that clog up collections.
I have a complete run of RCA's Stereo Action series(including a mono made for A.M. Lots of chart hits from Billboard get a three minute treatment-no filler,as they say. He rattled off about ten LPS for Capitol,where guys like Dave Grusin got a start. Pete's friend who brought him Out West was Howard Roberts,another studio guy,this time electric guitar. yeah,having Earl sub-one could do worse by employing one of the great studio guys. The Alpert production is a perfect blend of new tunes(for '68) with Marty Paich arrangements that don't get in the way. His trio stuff included lots of standards,sometimes played at a rhythmic but whiplash speed,always finding something new to say. scene with Chuck Berghoffer on bass & Nick Martinis on drums. Pete performed weekly live for decades on the L.A. You just know that Eastwood spent a few hours at Donte's,where Pete's trio reigned. When Clint Eastwood put together his Piano Blues for Marty Scorsese's The Blues,Pete gets to shine. Pete was one of those guys that everyone heard on a soundtrack or pop tune but no on knew,unless you lived in L.A. Jolly was a studio keyboard guy(Herb's vocal hit, This Guy's In Love With You,features Pete's electric piano at the intro). My desert island disc would be Herb Alpert Presents Pete Jolly. Combo! & Mancini '67 are two personal favorites. Mancini produced a motherlode of material,both soundtracks and studio albums.
