Album Leaf

These short salon pieces by Edvard Grieg have been recorded by many pianists. This recording from 1973 on the budget EMI Forte label is by the 21-year-old Israeli pianist Daniel Adni. Some of the earlier Lyric Pieces have been omitted from these discs in order to fit those that have been recorded onto two CDs. Still, we are treated to 57 of the 66 short pieces composed between 1867 and 1901 and published in ten Books. Four of the six pieces in Book V were subsequently orchestrated to form the Lyric Suite. A few run to just over five minutes, but most are considerably shorter - but none the less interesting and enjoyable. These are all original compositions, though many reflect the idiom of Norwegian folk melodies.

The definitive Podington Bear collection includes 10 CDs, 135 songs, and over 8 hours of music. Podington Bear is a modern music internet phenomenon. Profiled on NPR, Wired, heaps of blogs, and selected as a Best of 2007 podcast by the iTunes Music Store, P. Bear's original method of music delivery has reached listeners far and wide. He serves up thousands of songs every day via his podcast on iTunes, cycling through the parade of music now contained in The Box Set. The music itself is 100% instrumental, inventive, delightful, and accessible. The sonic palate varies widely, juxtaposing acoustic instrumentation with synthesized and distorted sounds. The songs are constructed of simple melodies that mutate modally with surprising twists of composition. Touchstones would be Hot Chip, Björk, The Album Leaf, or early Múm. Little is known about this character except that he lives in Portland and prefers to work anonymously. This body of work is represented uniformly by a simple line drawing of a bear, invoking a legacy and an ethos that surrounds the music. It is a collection that works in the foreground or the back.
Features two small booklets and 10 CDs with 135 songs. Currently shipping complete with 135 tracks on 10 discs. Hooray!

The opening chords of "Finding My Way" signal the beginning of a song, album, and career that would have a permanent place in rock history. The debut album from the Canadian progressive metal outfit features drummer John Rutsey who, although a talented drummer, would quit after this album to be replaced by Neal Peart. Peart contributed to the band's songwriting progression and use of time changes.
