VU features tracks recorded mostly between THE VELVET UNDERGROUND and LOADED which were never released until they were rediscovered in the 80's. One of two volumes of previously unreleased Velvets tunes, VU consists of songs that were ... Full Descriptiondiscovered in the early-'80s when preparations were being made for reissue of the band's first three records. A few of the songs ("I Can't Stand It," "Lisa Says," "Ocean") can be heard elsewhere in different versions, but most had never seen the light of day before in any form. Nine of the ten cuts feature the celebrated 1969 version of the band, with Reed, Tucker, Morrison and Yule, while "Temptation Inside Your Heart" is a Cale-era gem from 1968.
The propulsive "Foggy Notion" is somewhat reminiscent of "Some Kinda Love" in its insistent pulse and slightly kinky lyrical bent. "I Can't Stand It" is the band at their most rocking, laying down an unswerving 4/4 beat that sounds destined to outlast even Twinkies and cockroaches. All the tunes on VU provide an illuminating glimpse into the band's musical closet, in which all manner of goodies--aesthetically comparable to their better-known cousins--apparently lurked.
Recorded between February 12, 1968 and October 1, 1969. Includes liner notes by Kurt Loder and Bill Levenson.

Sometimes referred to as "VU 2", ANOTHER VIEW is a second collection of previously unreleased Velvet Underground recordings.
ANOTHER VIEW works as that one final glimpse at the Velvet Underground-- another insight into the various aspects that made the band great, and another pang of regret that they were never given their due in their time.
In the sweltering guitars of the instrumental "Guess I'm Falling In Love" and the edginess of "Hey Mr. ...

Vu CD music
$7.55  
WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT, the Velvet Underground's second album, is the band at their most hard-edged and skillfully perverse. It introduced guitar sounds and production so abrasive that the feel wasn't duplicated until some 15 years later when punk had matured into New York's downtown art/noise scene with bands like Sonic Youth.
WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT is also an exhausting exercise in opposites. The aching beauty of "Here She Comes Now" features a delicate guitar melody and Reed's most innocent vocals since the debut's "Sunday Morning." The title track would even be playful if not for the instrumental speed rushes and vocal harmonies so discordant they're sinister. It also turns out to be a perfect primer for "Sister Ray," a depraved freak show of prostitutes, junkies, and what happens when the cops come banging at the door. Musically, "Sister Ray" is a jarring guitar crash, clocking in at 17:25, fully showing the Velvets' musical ferociousness. Such snapshots into the Velvet Underground's two sides make WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT indispensable.
WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT, the Velvet Underground's second album, is the band at their most calculated and perverse, but also shows another side. It is a glimpse of the more accessible rock which Lou Reed ...

Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering, Portland, Maine).
Velvet Underground's self-titled third album seemed like the debut of a new band. John Cale had left (replaced by Doug Yule) and the group became, for all intents and purposes, Lou Reed's back-up band. The songs actually sounded like rock music and John Cale's screeching musicality was reworked into songs that featured Sterling Morrison's most eloquent guitar accompaniment.
Reed's songwriting ...

Vu songs
$7.49 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is ...

A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same ...

SHEER HEART ATTACK is widely considered Queen's best pre-"Bohemian Rhapsody" album. Containing their first global hit single, "Killer Queen," it certainly qualifies as one of Queen's best all-time releases. Just prior to the recording of the album, Queen was making very important inroads in America by opening a US ...

"Get Up and Dance" is the first single to be released (the guys get up because the girls 'Get Up and Dance'") to be followed by the instant hit "Soldier of Glory." AND YES, this is the first album with three tracks featuring American Idol star Mario Vazquez!-----Cesar has lived his entire life as a natural talent of the guitar. Covered by CNN, Fox News, Entertainment Weekly, Music Connection, MTV, and many more.From his hardships to his heart, his whole world is shaped in the form of a guitar.It is amazing to me, knowing how cut-throat and competitive the music business is; how he manages to slip through the cracks and thereby became a masterful musician.He got his big professional break at 19 through the help of the unforgettable giant: Astor Piazzolla, the father of contemporary tango and classical music.We were performing together at the Opera Theater in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was at the time that Astor listened to Cesar's demo tape and decided to give him a hand with his career.Since then, Cesar has played around the world.Perhaps the most incredible story I know of Cesar and his devotion to the guitar was when he first left Argentina and went to Spain with only eight dollars in his pocket, his plane ticket and, of course, his guitars.He was hoping to play with flamenco master guitarist Paco de Lucia, who met him a few months earlier and who told him that if he ever made it to Europe, to contact him.Well, after Cesar arrived in Madrid Airport with little more than his dreams, Immigration promptly decided to deport him.He was in a cell for six hours waiting for them to put him back on a plane, when he managed to escape long enough to run to a pay phone and call Paco.As fate would have it, Paco answered the phone.Paco immediately went to the airport where he talked the custom agents into letting Cesar into the country.Since then, Cesar has performed all through Europe as a solo artist.He also performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Frank Sinatra, opened for Al Dimeola, recorded with producer Bebu Silvetti(Luis Miguel, Placido Domingo), Dominik Camardella (Santana, Ottmart Liebert) under the management of Alex Zara and Hollywood legend Xavier Cugat.Currently he resides in Los Angeles where he has finished recording his second cd with his manager Steven Dunning of DMG- Darque Management Group. Together they support "The Greater Good Award" (www.TheGreaterGoodAward.com). This album entitled "Worlds of Change" is destined to make Cesar the next modern Santana. From pop beats to ripping guitar work, the rhythmic melodies will carry the best dances to the softest love ballads. "Get Up and Dance" is the first single to be released to be followed by the instant hit "Soldier of Glory." And has toured in the Middle East and Iraq volunteering to play for our troops with the USO and Armed Forces Entertainment.So now comes the uncontrollable part.The time that you, the listener, decide if the few dollars that you invested was a worthwhile investment. I am sure it will be a very happy ending.Cesar has always had his own spirit and his own unique style.His emotion combined with his unbelievable speed and clear technique gives the music an accomplished mainstream upbeat pop sound without losing meaningful soul or its Latin roots.Go with God Cesar, I wish you always the best.Enjoy! -Horacio Malvicino Producer/guitarist who worked ...
