Laurie Anderson genre: Rock
release date 1990-10-01 publisher: Warner Bros / Wea
Big Science is the 1982 debut album by avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson and the first of a 7-album deal she signed with Warner Bros. Records. It is best known for the 8-minute epic "O Superman", which reached #2 in the UK. The album is minimalist and monochrome in sound, and like a great deal of Anderson's work is based largely on spoken word. It is a selection of highlights from her eight-hour production, United States Live, which was itself released as a 5-LP box set and book in 1984. United States Live was originally a performance piece, in which music was only one element. After Big Science music played a larger role in Anderson's work.

Robin Guthrie & Harold Budd genre: Soundtrack
release date 2005-01-01 publisher: Commotion
Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie and legendary composer Harold Budd team to create a soundtrack of lush and atmospheric soundscapes to award-winning writer-director Gregg Araki’s critically-acclaimed new drama MYSTERIOUS SKIN. Guthrie and Budd’s sparse, tonal music reflects the contemplative journey of troubled boyhood friends Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Brian (Brady Corbet), whose lives as young adults weave them down a slippery and dangerous path of self-discovery in MYSTERIOUS SKIN. The film, based on the Scott Heim novel, has been hailed by critics as writer-director Gregg Araki's finest film to date, and has been selected for the Sundance, Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. Araki’s career spans nearly 20 years, during which he has written, directed, and produced many controversial and edgy films, exploring and dissecting the strange currencies of sexual relationships. His credits include SPLENDOR, THE DOOM GENERATION and NOWHERE.
Time Signatures: A Career Retrospective

Dave Brubeck
release date 1992-12-15 publisher: Sony
With material from 1946 to 1991, this handsome box set reveals the enormous breadth of Brubeck's interests, accomplishments, and collaborations. There are tracks, for example, with Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Rushing, Gerry Mulligan, and Carmen McRae. There's even a duo with Charles Mingus. Also here is the full range of Brubeck's studied structures, involved harmonies, and elements unusual to jazz, including expansive time signatures and the use of fugue form and 12-tone theory. Included, of course, are such signature hits as "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and "Take Five." Brubeck came up playing hillbilly, swing, and Dixieland, and at college studied modern composition. All of that--and little constraint--informed his complex, idiosyncratic style. The package includes an 80-page booklet with his biography, rare photographs, and descriptions of every track. --Peter Monaghan

The Velvet Underground
release date 2004-08-03 publisher: Rhino / Wea
In the 1970s lower Manhattan's Max's Kansas City was the place to be, a perpetual meeting place for scene-makers and their satellites. In the summer of '70, The Velvet Underground was the house band, and their nightly gigs, propelled by Lou Reed's mesmerizing vocals, are the stuff of legend. Documented on a cassette player by one of the Velvet's entourage, this recording has since become the most famous "bootleg" ever, capturing one of Reed's last-some say final-performances with the band before going solo. It both immortalizes a precise moment in pop culture history, and also spotlights one of rock's most influential bands at the peak of their extraordinary powers.

Blonde Redhead genre: Rock
release date 2010-09-14 publisher: 4AD Records
Penny Sparkle, the New York trio's follow-up to 2007's 23, arrives September 14 in the U.S. and a day earlier everywhere else, via 4AD. The band recorded Penny Sparkle in New York and Stockholm, working with Fever Ray producers Van Rivers and the Subliminal Kid, whose synth-heavy background should have an interesting effect on Blonde Redhead's luxuriant guitar clangor. Shoegaze legend Alan Moulder mixed, just as he did for 23. In a press release, frontwoman Kazu Makino, in typically impenetrable form, had this to say about the album: "I fell in love with the music like falling for someone you've known for a long time. It was dreamy and sometimes was very stormy. At times I felt like a shepherd who was trying to herd five stallions into a yard (unsuccessfully). I felt like I was a link to everyone. I remained still and the others were constantly moving around it. I am not sure what Penny Sparkle is but I hope I offered to them as much as they offered me. I know that we have never made a record this way and if I could go back in time, I would do it exactly the same way again."

Patti Smith genre: Rock
release date 1975-01-01 publisher: BMG International
在这里你找不到一点不自然和矫饰之处,不过旋律可真是一点娱乐性都没有 摇滚女诗人PATTI SMITH是摇滚史上不可忽略的重要女性之一,她所倡导的车库摇滚是当今世界范围内最炙手可热的音乐类型,无论是从欧洲还是到美洲甚至澳洲都有着出色的代表,而PATTI SMITH则是70年代女性摇滚的首要代表人物。 生于1946,PATTI SMITH被称为“朋克女教母”。她25岁进入纽约曼哈顿的文学圈,早期,朗诵自己的诗作。后来,出品人建议她开口唱歌,于是一切顺理成章。多年来PATTI SMITH以她杰出的才华和不懈的精神,在摇滚乐手长长的名单上大放异彩,成为继JANIS JOPLIN之后又一位影响摇滚史的伟大白人女性。 1975年首张专辑《HORSES》(音乐界所承认与接受的第一张朋客专辑,英国刊物《New Musical Express》称赞《Horses》专辑甚至强过了the Beatles、Rolling Stones和Bob Dylan的首张专辑),成为PATTI SMITH的经典之作。诗人高雅的气质与宏大的作品结合得天衣无缝;ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE为她拍摄的一组照片,成为《HORSES》的又一大亮点——黑白颜色形成强烈对比,PATTI头发蓬乱,白衬衣+松领带+牛仔裤,神情骇俗。不可否认,这是一个典型的颓废怪旦癫狂艺术天才。 Patti Smith一直是摇滚乐领域的先锋人物。她不但是一个诗人,还是一个幻想主义者,她的音乐创作并不是笨拙的模仿,而是Keith Richards和Jim Morrison的“变异”。Patti还深受法国诗人Arthur Rimband和Charles Baudelaire的影响,这使她的作品蒙上了一层迷幻色彩。1975年的首张专辑《Horses》融合了使Patti Smith产生创作灵感的所有元素。她的演唱带有一种危险的、暗示性的成分,她的独特嗓音和个性化的风格增加了这张专辑的力度。《Horses》由于带有六十年代摇滚风格而受到新老听众的一致好评,被称为“摇滚乐的第二次复兴”。 Patti Smith,一开始她只是怀揣着摇滚乐的梦想经常出现在诗歌朗诵会上,而现在,她已经是摇滚乐历史上最著名的女性之一。她在1975年和她的乐队出版了专辑《Horses》,大多数评论家把它看作历史上第一张朋克唱片。《Horses》也确实没有辜负这个称呼,就像Patti Smith宣称的那样,“三个和弦所蕴涵的力量已经远远超过了诗歌”。从1975年开始,纽约的摇滚乐开始以一个集体性的面目出现在世界面前。
