Sincere

These Ones Are Bitter is Screeching Weasel and the Riverdales frontman Ben Weasel's first album in five years. It's been well worth the wait. With These Ones Are Bitter, Weasel demonstrates his characteristic lyrical insight and humor along with his uncanny knack for writing first-rate melodic punk songs - the album's 14 tracks attack the themes of broken hearts and love gone bad like so many sugar coated shotgun blasts. This is a superb album.

Недавно скачал себе и, заслушав, не смог не поделиться с вами. Меня очень "зацепил" этот альбом. Стиль охарактеризовать затруднюсь, и официальные "World Music: Folk-Blues, Oriental Blues" вряд ли выражают суть этой музыки. Это какой-то "попсовый" блюз с арабскими мотивами. Вам непонятно? Мне тоже, но лучше сказать не могу. А вот порекомендовать (от всей души!) скачать и заслушать - могу. Что и делаю. Надеюсь, что вы тоже получите удовольствие.



No Blues is a unique project which explores the connections between two musical worlds, namely: Americana and Arabic music.
Compare it to a cup of warm Americana-tea with a particular Arabic blend what you taste is a new and exciting mix of roots music styles. Take a sip and you'll know exactly what we mean..this is 100% pure blend ARABICANA.
For this latest project by Production House Oost- Nederland (ON), Ad van Meurs (guitar), Haytham Safia (U'd, Arabic lute) and Anne-Maarten van Heuvelen (double bass) were invited; their assignment was to investigate a possible combination of folkblues and traditional Arabic music in a three- day session. Both folk-blues and the Arabic taqsim (the improvised interplay without a fixed rhythm) are exceptionally suited for storytelling; the former in a somewhat rawer way, the latter mostly lyrical and melodic.

"Alive, more than ever", born of the collaboration between Lee Perry and Dj Startek, leader of The White Belly Rats, celebrates Mr. Rainford Hugh Perry’s 70th birthday ! This album comes straight out from the desk, no remixing, no post-production, just an authentic Reggae-Dub performance, sincere and warm, LSP-WBR style. Even the tiny imperfections add to the whole, making you believe you’re really there in the public. (Damp Music)
