What Could Possibly Go Right

Search: Superstition
by: Ruiner

Release Date November 08, 2005
Ruiner is one of the greatest hardcore bands around today and definitely the best show that I have been to in a real long time. They are not hung up on being "thug", just real nice dudes writing music that everyone can relate to, not whiny break-up music or beat-down thug-core, but definitely not posi by any means. Great music, even better show. If you like Outbreak, Pressure, Modern Life is War, just straight forward hardcore punk, then you will not be disappointed with this band.

Africa: Piano Music of William Grant Still

Search: Superstition
by: William Grant Still, Denver Oldham

Release Date March 04, 1993
William Grant Still (1895-1978) did not consider himself a great composer of music for piano. His strength was orchestral. He studied with George Chadwick and Edgar Varese in New York and worked as an oboist in a theater orchestra. In the late '20s, he got a job as an orchestrator with the Paul Whiteman orchestra; along with composer Ferde Grofe, Still was one of the arrangers whose work created "big band swing" music in the '30s.

In 1939, he married Verna Arvey, a concert pianist. Most of his original piano compositions were written specifically for her use. The pieces on this CD are strongly reminiscent of French impressionist composers, especially Ravel and Satie; indeed, if you like those two, you'll enjoy Still's music a lot. ... Read More:

Rhapsody in Black and White

Search: Superstition
from: Dynamic Italy

Release Date January 23, 2001
Ignore the notes which identify Gershwin as an Afro-American ;-). Fumo performs his speciality, Afro-American piano works, well. This collection includes:
1. The overture from "Treemonisha" by Scott Joplin, who is best known for his ragtime piano works. The overture was published for piano and voice; the original orchestration is lost. While overtures are usually best when heard in the context of the entire work, the work stands well on its own.
2. Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin is given a solid performance - listeners may well have other favorite performances.
3. Yamekraw by James Price Johnson is one of two pieces that make this recording special. Most of his work is relegated to jazz. This piece was written as an ... Read More:

Visitations

Search: Superstition
by: Visitations

Release Date December 04, 2001
The Visitations are one of the lesser members of the extended Elephant 6 "family," a sort of experimental fuzz-folk-rawk band. If that makes any sense.

And with their only album -- also self-titled -- it's not too hard to see why they haven't become as big as Neutral Milk Hotel or the Apples in Stereo. It's a serviceable collection of music, with some wonderfully strange songs. But at the end it's rather hard to remember any of it.

It opens with "Grease Monkey," one of the most unnervingly freaky songs I have ever heard. There's just a periodic drumbeat, soft rustlings, and a creepy, slimy voice that recites the disgusting hygiene of "grease monkey." "Grease monkey, grease monkey/suckle on my lobe/grease monkey, grease monkey/tickle ... Read More:
