On his first full-fledged solo album, Byrne indulges his fascination with Latin and South American musical styles, employing a variety of native musicians but mixing up the sounds to suit his own distinctly non-purist vision and singing over the tracks the same kind of witty, oddball lyrics found on Talking Heads albums…
The first of two Chico Freeman recordings for the soon-defunct Black-Hawk label finds the leader switching between tenor, alto, sopranino, soprano, bass clarinet, bass flute and C flute. John Purcell "only" limits himself to five reeds (alto, baritone, oboe, alto flute and piccolo), and the horns are joined by either Kenny Kirkland or Mark Thompson on piano, bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Elvin Jones. The many combinations of reeds highlight this set, which has originals by Freeman, Mark Thompson ("Monk 2000"), John Stubblefield, Alex North and Cecil McBee ("Blues on the Bottom"), in addition to the standard "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise." The style ranges from straight-ahead to more exploratory sounds, and this colorful album is worth searching for.

Japanese pressing of Runnin' Wild's debut album, full of booze-and-sweat-soaked Rock & Roll that isn't looking to change the world by abolishing Free Trade, but simply provide the ultimate soundtrack to the biggest all-night rock party there is. Airbourne is a four piece hard rock band blasting off from Melbourne, Australia. The album launches from their fist-pumping title track "Stand Up For Rock 'N' Roll" to the anthemic "What's Eatin' You", and the self-explanatory rock explosions of "Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast" and "Diamond In The Rough". This version comes with additional bonus track, "Dirty Age". Roadrunner Japan, 2008.
