Children Song

The second album by Canadian band Ocean, Give Tomorrow's Children One More Chance, was released in 1972 on the Kama Sutra label in both the U.S. and Canada . The music on the second album moved away from the gospel sound toward more of a folk pop sound. Once again the songs were the highlight of the album, written by some of the best in the business, including Robbie Robertson and Richard Manual (the Band), Cook and Greenway, Steven Stills, Carole King, and others. Despite the strong songs on the album, Ocean only managed to score a minor hit in Canada with the song "One More Chance" and was subsequently dropped by the label. The band continued on for a couple more years and finally disbanded in 1975. This budget-priced reissue by Unidisc contains all songs from the original album along with the original artwork.

Stravinsky’s Perséphone (1934) is a dynamic music-theatrical narration of the myth of Persephone’s abduction to the underworld and return to earth. The transparent, sober but evocative music epitomizes Stravinsky’s sensuous take on Neoclassicism, and the piece showcases Stravinsky’s eclectic, original and highly personal approach to music and musical drama through a playful mixture of several genres – melodrama, song, chorus, dance and pantomime. Ultimately, Perséphone offers Stravinsky’s second ode to spring, albeit without the brutal excesses of Le Sacre.

This two-for-one reissue combines the Genesis (1972) and Friction (1974) LPs onto one CD. Genesis is a respectable record that, even more than many Stax albums from the late '60s and the early '70s, has a substantial gospel influence. Gospel was an influence in just about every soul record, of course, but you really hear it with this quartet, especially in the opening eight-minute cut, "I Want to Be Loved." The mood is funky but a bit more low-key and subdued than was the case on many such LPs of the time, which is a plus; it makes it stand out from the crowd a little.
