Second Nature

Product Description:
I like the idiom "second nature." The first nature is the soul; by second nature someone does something, like throwing a baseball or playing the piano, as if it were part of himself. I live in an exquisite valley I look at 365 days a year, and somehow the beauty of the valley turns into music. The wind in the tall grass makes green waves by nature; by second nature these become flowing chords. The growth patterns of tress become a musical composition.

When I recorded this album in 1983, I'd already been experimenting with the cross-rhythms of African music, especially the Shona music of Zimbabwe, for about ten years. These rhythms and their attendant harmonies arose from the African earth and spoke through its people. When I first heard them I felt a great musical resonance, but inside that I sensed an even greater kinship. We're all exiles from an Africa we've never been to or seen, and playing these rhythms while watching the seasons change from the slopes of Barnett Valley was like discovering a homeland.

William Allaudin Mathieu (b. 1937) is one of the most influential musicians of his generation. He began recording solo piano albums in 1980; Narratives is his eighth. He has written three books on music - The Listening Book; The Musical Life; and Harmonic Experience: Tonal Harmony from Its Natural Origins to Its Modern Expression.

Allaudin was a disciple of North Indian vocalist Pandit Pran Nath for 25 years. He studied African music with Nubian musician Hamza El Din, jazz with William Russo, and European classical music with Easley Blackwood.

In the 1960s, he spent several years as an arranger/composer for Stan Kenton and Duke Ellington, and was the musical director for the Second City Theater in Chicago (which he helped found) and for the Committee Theater in San Francisco. In the 1970s, he served on the faculties of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and Mills College. In 1969 he founded the Sufi Choir, which he directed until 1982.

The past two decades Allaudin has devoted to composition, performance, recording, teaching, and writing from his home near Sebastopol, California.

Second Nature,W.A. Mathieu,Cold Mountain Music,Solo multi-track piano inspired by the cross-rhythms of African Shona mbira music -- rich, harmonically complex, and satisfying.

When Wagner set the Ring to music, he intended the orchestra to act in the fashion of a chorus from a classic Greek tragedy--setting the mood and commenting on the action. In order to allow a nonverbal musical line to reflect on the plot, Wagner developed a psychologically and musically complex symbology to communicate his thoughts to the listener. From the beginning the Ring has spawned numerous written commentaries on the relationships of the motif structure, but by using examples from the Decca Ring recording, Deryck Cooke's thoughtful spoken commentary is by far the most accessible guide for either the fledgling Ring enthusiast or the seasoned veteran. --Christian C.

Ring introduction critique.......2006-11-04

This is very worthwhile, at the same time it requires time, patience and attention, but it does provide some keys to better enjoyment of a sensational piece of music.

FASCINATING STUDY FOR NOVICES AND AFFICIONADOS ALIKE.......2006-08-16

This may look an intimidating, daunting and dull prospect - a 2+ hour lecture on the motifs in the Ring. Don't be put off. Whether you're a relative novice to the Ring and want to find out what it's all about, more experienced with a desire to understand the composer's methods better or an afficionado who thinks he knows it all inside out, there is great pleasure as well as elucidation to be had from this set. Originally made to accompany the Decca Solti Ring, it contains a multitude of musical illustrations taken from those recordings as well as some specially recorded by Solti just for this Introduction.

It wasn't the first time this has been tried. The famous HMV sets from the late 20's also included recorded examples of over 100 motifs. (These, by the way, are available as part of the Pearl reissue of those wonderful HMV recordings). What that set lacked was the wonderful insights as well as the approachability of the talk by Deryck Cooke. Cooke was a great and much missed musicologist - a Mahler expert responsible for the performing edition of the Tenth Symphony still most played today, a fascinating explorer into the nature of music's basic building-blocks in his excellent book, The Language of Music, and an inspiring and elucidating critic of Wagner's work as shown by the fascinating book he left unfinished at his death, I Saw the World End.

On these CDs he does much more than list the leitmotifs and identify them as calling-cards. He shows the amazingly integrated and organic growth of the musical material that Wagner uses throughout his vast work. He demonstrates how motifs can change their sense and meaning as they evolve through the drama. And he shows how the complex combinations of motifs can radically advance both the musical and the dramatic narrative of the piece. There are even places where he corrects the misinterpretation of some of the motifs that had become ingrained from early commentators' false labels.

This set should engage and enlighten anyone with an interest in Wagner's huge and inexhaustible tetralogy. Do give it a try - no matter how far down the road to Wagnerianism you are.

Welcome back to a classic analysis.......2006-05-28

Deryck Cooke's lecture series upon THE RING is almost as much a classic by now as the Solti RING cycle, with which it was originally issued on LP, and from which it derives its musical examples. The difference is that whereas the Solti RING has been continuously in print ever since it was completed, and was among the first opera sets to benefit from the CD revolution, the Cooke analysis was for long almost totally unobtainable. Now we have it back. It should be welcomed: it is a classic. Cooke's mellow, deep voice with the hint of a Celtic burr - which made him ideal on BBC radio - patiently explains Wagner's melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic metamorphoses to such good effect that if you own this recording, you really require no other RING analysis. (A pity about the abrupt beginnings and endings of too many vocal and orchestral illustrations, though.) Musicology lost a fine, sensitive thinker with Cooke's premature death in 1976.

If all you want is dilettantish baby food, there are plenty of dumbed-down Wagner commentaries on the market, stretching from Anna Russell's famous monologue (which doesn't pretend to be anything other than a parody aimed at morons) to the latest standard-issue "Wagner-was-a-Nazi-boo-hiss" feuilleton (which, unfortunately, does). Without reasonable score-reading skill you will find Cooke useless, however diligently you have ploughed through Marx, Jung, Freud, or other gurus purportedly relevant to THE RING. Cooke expects you to use your brains and your musical sense. Quelle horreur. At today's BBC his "elitism" would render him unemployable.

Essential for Understanding Wagner's Ring Cycle.......2006-05-15

I originally bought this set on vinyl in the early 70s when I discovered the Ring in college. I studied the records and booklet assiduously, and after about three run-throughs I finally started getting it. Wow! Thirty-five years later, I still remember Mr. Cooke's analyses of various motive families, and I don't know how I could have mastered and loved the Ring without him. I now own this set on CD and listen again on the rare occasion of attending a Ring performance. My wife calls me a "Ring nut," but of course I'm nuts about many other things as well.

Bottom line, buy this set and study it if the Ring has captivated you as it has countless others. The presentation is dry, but sticking with it brings measureless and longlasting rewards.

Very Functional.......2006-03-19

This CD set is excellent for what it sets out to do: present the leitmotives of the Ring according to their relationship to one another and their role in developing both characters and plotlines. Deryck Cooke's lectures on each motive are very insightful, very helpful at cueing the listener into the semantic aspect of Wagner's orchestral writing. The one drawback is that the musical examples are a bit jarring. Without fade-ins or -outs, the engineering is quite barbaric. And though the orchestra was, I believe, conducted by Solti, and is beautifully done, the vocal performances can be quite unpleasant. Point being: this is not background music, but in accomplishing what it sets out to do, it is very successful, and I don't know of anything else like it.

Excellent recording.......2007-05-12

If you are a fan of classical guitar than this is a must own set. I enjoy every moment.

Highly Recommended!.......2006-12-23

I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves music--period! Christopher Parkening is unquestionably one of the greatest classical guitarists of all-time. He embodies personal excellence like no other and is a brilliant artist. This CD is a must-have for any classical enthusiast. My favorite pieces include: Tárrega's "Recuerdos de la Alhambra," "Romance," Bach's "Prelude No. 6," and Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez." There are other versions of these pieces as well, but I always prefer Parkening's renditions, as they are oh so extraordinary--especially the recording of Aranjuez!! Other guitarists never seem to capture the essence of Rodrigo's musical masterpiece (e.g., Göran Söllescher in "Mad About Guitars"). But Parkening did! And the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was a perfect accompaniment.

This CD is definitely worth buying. Included is a CD booklet, which illustrates the history of Parkening's illustrious career, interesting tidbits about all 25 recorded pieces, and several photos of his early life to his "breathtaking performance" at Rodrigo's 90th birthday celebration at the Royal Festival Hall in London, 1992.

Amazing.......2006-05-08

I am not going to go into great detail. I am working on a degree in classical guitar and I can say this is something to strive for. His musical interpretation of the peices represented here are some of the best I've heard. His tone,color, and phrasing is incredible.

A gentleman musical agreement! .......2006-03-16

In guitar ` s playing there have been many renowned performers, gifted of exuberant technique. But curiously the Apollonian playing is not by itself strictly enough. The guitar is the instrument which is closer to heart as any other one. It demands from you passion and sentiment. There have been three well known guitarists, one of them from England and the other one from Spain and the third one from Japan whose sensibility was totally absent in their performances.

But fortunately for us, there have been notable interpreters that have been maintained a desired balance and contrast between brain and heart, achieving great distinction and total acknowledgement around the world. I would name seven primordial names along the instrument `s story. First of all: the mythic soloist Andres Segovia, Regino Sainz de la Maza, John Williams, Alirio Diaz, Manuel Berrueco, Siegfried Behrend and Christopher Parkening, among the most representative ones of a great list.

Christopher Parkening `s career has made a brilliant colorist, an impeccable and sensitive interpreter of this well reduced repertoire. His profound artistic conviction and convincing phrasing has been a perpetual motive of constant invitations and presentations around the world.

Extreme virtuosity.......2005-09-25

CP has become my chief inspiration to improve as a classical guitarist. His performances here are, without exception, phenomenal. He makes the most difficult pieces sound effortless. I prefer CP over John Williams because, while Williams is also unquestionably a master, he sounds a bit robotic to me at times. CP, on the other hand, never sacrifices musicality to precision. He sublimely maintains both.

I dunno wich album I like better, Burning My Travels Clean, or this one. To be honest with you I think all of his albums are equally amazing. Nobody compares...nobody!

5 stars? hear me out.......2005-12-09

You always see 5 stars because the only people that comment are those that like the band. This is another story. I got hooked on Rocky from a friend, and was immersed ever since. Suicide Medicine is amazing, i can not think of any other album which rivals. All i can say is download a few songs... i guarentee youll love it.

simply beautiful in all the right ways.......2005-11-03

years ago, i was blessed to play a show with rocky in lawrence kansas. he sings of truth, beauty, pain, life & love, and so so much more. he's definitely ahead of his time, melodies and a voice that make you cry while you smile, like he's talking just to you. don't hesitate to buy all of his records, they are all wonderful. if you have to start somewhere, i would recommend suicide medicine first, the light & sound ep is absolutely terrific as well. take a day or night to let it all sink in, you will be hooked.

I've just started listening to him recently, and so far I've enjoyed everything I've heard from him. Hes a great vocalist who just seems to capture you in his music. I've also enjoyed listening to waxwings music as well. But I think I prefer him solo with just him and his guitar. But the song Montana with David Huffman is still one of my favorites. So I would highly recommend buying his cds! you wont regret it! I just hope I'll be able to go to one of his concerts... everyone says hes amazing live.

Neurotic Similarities.......2004-08-07

I first encountered ISIS onstage. They were the opening act for a Dillinger Escape Plan & Candiria concert. I figured that ISIS would sound somewhat akin to Dillinger. Was I surprised! ISIS sludged across the stage and made me think that I had somehow mistakenly entered a NEUROSIS concert. They would not look at the crowd or speak to the crowd and they simply jammed heavy, heavy, riffs accompanied by tormented vocals, sporadic samples (and sound effects), and stick-destroying drumming (culminating in the drummer pounding without sticks). They are not nearly as heavy on disc, but this disc still slays. It trudges along at a nice doom-core pace (a la Neurosis) and it is filled with tortured vox. ISIS even toss in a few samples (sound to be from a movie) that help escalate the listener's paranoia. I would suggest this disc to all fans of Neurosis.

Isis rox........2000-12-15

First of all, these guys are nothing like Dillinger Escape Plan. However, Neurosis comparisons are valid. Both bands rock the mid-tempo and represent with long, repetitive songs. I love both bands and in my opinion the difference between them is a matter of non-stop brutality vs textured composition. Isis comes at you head on with crazy chuggchuggachugga stylings that make you want to break stuff. Neurosis has that brutality but they'll mix it up with some other tricks now and then. If you don't own any Neurosis or Isis, I recommend both wholeheartedly.

it's a shame this is the only ISIS they have on amazon..........2000-08-30

becuase out of this, their newest full length "celestial", their older ep "mosquito control", and the sawblade ep, this is my least favorite isis release.

however, it's still awesome. ignore the guy who said these guys sound like the dillinger escape plan, if anything, they're the opposite. instead of every song being a race to see which band member can finish the song first, isis attack you by SLOWLY building up mammoth riffs until they reach the point of impact and then release a wall of sound. every person on the planet seems to compare these guys to neurosis, but there is no way neurosis (although a GREAT band) could ever make something as heavy as these guys. this album is still great just because of the title track, which is one of the heaviest songs i've ever heard in my life. buy this cd, then buy the rest of their stuff and say to yourself "wow, this is even better than the red sea".

if you like this, i'd say check out neurosis (if you haven't already!), ire, and bloodlet.

Everything ISIS does is Good.......2000-07-12

This is Isis' third relase and its not as good as i would have expected, its too short. The first 3 tracks are the new stuff whereas the last 4 are from they're orginal demo from 97 or 98 (which makes this album worth getting) the 3 tracks are good, especially the title track. the demo songs are wonderful but the production is bad. i would have to recommend getting their second ep, mosquito control from escape artist records. anyway this album is not they're best but still excellent.

Album Description

"South African-born Miriam Stockley has a star-studded resume a mile long, but why mention Tina Turner [and] David Bowie when you were also called in to hit notes for lesser talents like Nicole Kidman (in Moulin Rouge)? Stockley returns with another magnificent mix of styles that evoke Finnish nights, African plains, Peruvian Andes and all the joy of Enya, Sarah Brightman and Miriam Makeba rolled into one...essentially, there are so many instrumental and vocal textures that words can't quite do this mosaic justice. `Beautiful' and `excitingly exotic' is simply a good start to the flow of adjectives." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE

Given the list of artists British singer Miriam Stockley has worked with - Tina Turner, Elton John, George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Chaka Khan, David Bowie, Seal and Adiemus - you may be surprised that you haven't heard her name before. One of the most distinctive voices in music, Stockley has sung on more hit records and had more success than most artists achieve in a lifetime. One of the most thriving British singers of the past 20 years, she has sung on such popular soundtracks as The Lord of the Rings (on which she sang a solo in Elvish) and Harry Potter. Now, we are proud to present her solo album Second Nature, a brilliant disc full of perfect atmospheres, African influences and Stockley's pure vocals.

What an amazing voice!.......2005-11-22

This album is one of the best from 2004. Katherine Jenkins is a great new talent! Her voice is warm and beautiful. She'd make a perfect Carmen. Time to say goodbye is gorgeous and she sings my favourite carol, O holy night really beautifully! Katherine Jenkins is a lovely, warm hearted girl and you can hear that warmth in her voice. She sings the best Arenjuaz and Caruso! Song to the moon is hauntingly beautiful and her voice totally shines on it!

Nice Voice.......2005-09-01

Go to a local music store and listen to this album and you will buy it. I am sorry that Amazon dosen't have samples here.

Katherine Jenkins.......2005-04-23

I must say this is by far my favorite album. She has improved her vocal skills from her first album to this album. Katherine Jenkins definitely impressed me with her singing of Seguidilla, she sings with an exquisite technique. I have the "LA Diva" album and I had to get this release because of the added tracks of Vide Cor Meum, Barcarolle, and O Holy Night!

Great fellow Up.......2004-12-22

I find Second Nature to be a better CD from Kathrine then her frist.Songs on this one are better and show off her voice more then her first Cd.My fave song's on this Cd are Time To Say Goodbye,House of No Regrets,En Aranjuez con tu amor,Song to the Moon,Calon Lan,Hymn to the Fallen, O Holy Night,You'll Never Walk Alone.

A SOPRANO NOT TO BE MISSED.......2004-12-21

THIS IS HER BEST ALBUM SO FAR AND A MUST HAVE. HER VOICE IS ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. I LIKED HER ALBUM PREMIERE VERY MUCH, BUT THIS ONE IS EVEN BETTER AS THE CHOICE OF SONGS IS EXCELLENT. HER PERFORMANCE OF HOUSE OF NO REGRETS, CALON LAN, LAUDATE DOMINUM, O HOLY NIGHT AND YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE IS GREAT AND NOT TO BE MISSED.

Amazing!.......2007-03-23

I absolutely love this band; incredible vocals and music. My only Quam has nothing to do with the band at all. "Veda" is totally NOT their name! It's "Vedera"! I'm guessing it's a miss print, but the music is still AMAZING!

Hard hitting whithout being hard.......2006-07-02

("I love heavy stuff...yet I love them too!) They were an opener for Thrice(along with the Bled, Underoath, and maybe another band...can't remember...) at a show in SD. First off, seeing them live is better because you feel the drums loudness hit you and see the perfection of the vocals. They were the only low noise band at the show-they stil held the audiences attention... that says a lot... because if you've been to concerts with mixes of music you know how easy one "Booo" starts a revolt of kinds. Anyways, I love hearing the drums, actually. They're simple, yet strong and solid. However this CDs flaw is the lack of diversity. The band should mix up the sound from song to song or push the vocals to a yell, whisper, or anything different at times. Don't get me wrong...the girl has an AMAZING voice, yet with all that goes on in these songs...sometimes you find yourself bored. Each song is strong....overall feel needs work. Check out this band live.

Do not miss this one..........2006-06-26

One of the best CDs I've heard in a very long time.

I'll say wow twice.......2005-09-20

.I've seen Veda play live several, several times. I do believe I was at the very first show that they ever played, at a small venue, and I remember hearing Kristen May's voice from outside during sound checks. I fell in love.
.I believe that the reason Veda has made it as far as they have is because of Kristen's vocals. She has such control over her voice, and she really shows that on their first album. She encompasses a sort of beauty and creativity with the vocal lines that she wails. Not to mention her lyrics are touching and incredible as well. The lead guitar really adds to Kristen voice and rhythm guitar, making things a little more ambient, more complex. The music itself isn't really complex, the chord progressions are simple and clean, but in most all of the songs, each instrument stands out to make it's own. For instance, in "Moments Rewound", listen to the bass guitar. It really makes the song come together.
.This album as such an amazing sense of energy. It's the kind of album you pop in your car CD player and let it roll over and over again. Starting out with "Trade this Fear" was an excellent idea, since it's crammed with energy and Kristen is basically saying, "Yeah, you're gonna like this." Although, I do think that ending the album on an acoustic note was poor,
.I would strongly recommend purchasing this album. It's well worth the money and time spent listening.

Something Natural.......2005-08-30

Hey, guess what? I saw them open in front of Dredg too! Seems that this tour is doing them a lot of good. And that's great, because they deserve it.

What struck me about Veda is that there really is nothing to decipher about them. I can admire that as long as the music is good, and it is. Kristen isn't overpowering as a vocalist, but commands everyone's attention with it. The music hints at an urge to break out in to greatness just below the surface. During their live preformance, Brian wailed his guitar in a very U2/Coldplay fashion which was invigorating. Sadly, it all gets muted on the actual album.

If Veda could capture the blossoming power of their live act and put it in to their next album, they could easily be on their way to something great. Kristen, you have the voice! Use it! The only track that I felt you really had fun with your beauty was "It's All Happening on Broadway" (and subsequently is my favorite track on the album). You nearly get there with tracks like, "For a Friend" ("and we sing...") and "Trade this Fear" with your throaty growls. It's amazing what you can do, just showcase it. Test yourself more often and stretch your range as far as it can go.

And don't be afraid to let the music shine, too. Let the reverb on the guitar explore the studio space next time. Let the drums out of their cage and have some fun. Why not have a bass solo or let it follow in the footsteps of Kristen's voice? There's so much Veda could be doing (and is completely able to do) that could make them something really special.

Until that time, this is an admirable start for Veda. There is something completely natural about the music they make and I hope they get a chance to share that with as many people as possible. They'll be going back on tour soon with Thrice and I highly suggest you check them out. Love and Peace!

Album Description

A Brief History is a collection of some of ROCKY VOTOLATO's very first attempts at songwriting, with the majority of these songs being written when he was between 16 and 18 years old. A Brief History really gives an interesting perspective on where his early writing style began as well as the path his career has taken. Competently recorded by Matt Bayles with the limited resources of only 3 days in the studio, these songs show a songwriter in his formative years. With only 1000 copies ever pressed by the now defunct label Your Best Guess out of New Jersey, this release has long been out-of-print and coveted by any fans lucky enough to have an original copy. With Second Nature's reissue of this impossible to find old release, fans will no longer have to resort to overpriced copies on e-bay to find this record.

Album Description

THE CASKET LOTTERY's third full-length release for Second Nature Recordings, Survival Is For Cowards, takes the lessons learned and the paths defined on the intricately complex Choose Bronze and their densely layered Moving Mountains to new heights of creative fervour and emotional impact. One of THE CASKET LOTTERY's greatest attributes is their incorporation of flailing dynamics and serene passages, which constantly contrasts between sonorous moments of contemplation and aggressive eruptions. Tracks like the opening "Code Red," "What I Built Last Night" and "Getting By" explore a main groove, beholden to a central musical thread, yet are laden with wavering guitar leads that flutter in the ether of each song and exquisite arrangements that crash against the rock's discourse. All the while the dual vocals of Nathan Ellis and Stacy Hilt are equally more developed and confident in their range, as well as more abrasive and striking in their rage. Emo, indie, math, rock? THE CASKET LOTTERY eschews defined categories, incorporating touchstones yet exceeding their limitations. "Searchlights," for example, is a plaintive, rolling, endeavor, moody yet always stirring, while songs like "The Bridge," "Since You" and "Leaving Town" utilize keyboards in a spacious, atmospheric style not previously attempted. Survival Is For Cowards is a masterful album that is at times as complex and interlocking yet as lush and enveloping as any CASKET LOTTERY release, reaching new levels of melody, aggression and songwriting in the process.

Customer Reviews:

Why I love Kansas.......2003-11-27

If you don't know, the Casket Lottery is a three piece band from Kansas. They specialize in emotional rock and roll; some songs border the line of hardcore, while others teater on the line of emo. No matter what genere you classify them in, they are a rock band that write beautiful and emotional songs full of hooks and heartfelt lyrics.

Survival is for Cowards is an amazing album. Talent and emotion shine through on this record, as does maturity. This is the Casket Lottery's most diverse and mature effort yet.

The opener Code Red is possilby the bands most intense and rocking track, it's amazing that a three piece band can create such a lush and structured song. It's hard to believe that a lot of these songs were written and played by only three people. Three truly talented musicians, all of which had spent years prior in different and equally amazing bands (most notably Coalesce). Ed Rose produced this album, which only helps as he helps this band to realize their full potential recorded.

From start to finish, 'Survival is for Cowards' is the Casket Lottery's best album. Every song is a standout; well written and meaningful in its own way. One of the top ten indie rock albums of the year.

Best overall Casket Lottery.......2002-12-07

With this album, The Casket Lottery seems to have found their true voice as a band. Their tried and true take on the emo sound is beefier and more structured this time around, taking turns into both the devastating and the lilting with each track. A crack rhythm section underscores it all, keeping the listener constantly on their toes. "Survival Is For Cowards" is short and sweet, lasting just long enough to excite you but ending before it grates on your nerves. Ed Rose's production takes some of the punch out of the guitars (as it always does), but the strong songwriting overcomes it all. The perfect middle ground between The Get Up Kids and Fugazi.

Less math, More rock, and surrender in the used bin........2002-11-06

The Casket Lottery: Survival is for cowards.

I think I've considered this record and put it back down in the store more times than any other record ever to date. It's not always easy to stay hopeful when taking a chance on a new release, especially when weighed against the brief history of rushed and amateur recordings that the CL carry behind them. So alas, for the five months after the release date, I wasted my time pitting the band's catalog against my intuition, until finally braking down one day when I came across it in the used bin. And yes, since that fateful day, I now realize that wasting all that time is exactly what I had been doing.

It's alarming to think of every long drive to work that I didn't have this album along with me for. Tracks like the opener, "code red" are all but a fair warning to warm up your wrists, because you'll be compulsively throwing the horns up throughout this indispensable disc. While the long standing killer drum mix has been thankfully preserved, listeners will note that new tactical approaches in method & production find the guitars overlapping themselves in crunchy waves and yet more bracing than the notion of Nathan Ellis brandishing an acoustic... the depth of the songs that demand it's use. (See Searchlights)

Additional distinctions Survival brings to attention, are made most apparent in the down-playing of the band's off beat and mathy approach to rhythmic punctuations (a signature flavor that spiced the sound they've come to be identified by). In exchange for those dearly departed time signatures, we're all the more satisfied to hear this album truly rock in a straight line, thanks to more volume in the amps and the tasteful addition of some synthesized keys that hang just beyond the curtains edge for atmosphere. All in a good days trade at the sonic pawnshop.

Survival is overall, a rare and refreshing piece of musicianship which should set the Casket Lottery up for a good ride in on the vapor trails that post-punk bands like Sparta are leaving behind them on their way to the spot light. This album does not stop at just serving as a redemption offering in the face of a lack-luster discography; it truly redefines the spirit of progression that this young trio has just begun to wield as masters.

Review by J Young 10.16.02

Best Disc of the Year?.......2002-08-17

Yes, the best album of the year may be from a band you've never heard of. I chanced upon this one at a listening station (of all places) and bought it about 3 minutes later. These guys all have hardcore roots, and a lot of "Survival" is raucous (in the best sense imaginable), but it's also extremely complex and melodic, and does slow down in places. The guitars (it's one guy, but he dubs in a second guitar on most tracks) are brilliant and imaginative as hell, and the lyrics are poignant without ever getting sappy (the lyrics on "The Bridge" are especially impressive). The rhythm section is strong and unpredictable; some of the changes remind me of Sunny Day Real Estate, one of my favorite bands, but CL is much too different to draw an unfair comparison. I can't get enough of this cd, and ordered their previous two LPs, which I also love. If you like your loud music with a lot of intelligence and a lot of heart, check this out. Highest possible recommendation.

"Keepin' it real" might be the most horrendously overused phrase in hip-hop, but All Natural are one duo who could hold their heads high should they ever choose to use it. Born and raised in middle-class Chicago, college-educated, and happily confined to small labels, rapper Capital D and DJ Tone B. Nimble never pretend to be anything other than socially aware hip-hop fans from the right side of the tracks. In fact, the only guns 'n hos clichés to make it on their second album are in Capital D's mocking snipes against big-bucks rappers who favor them ("Mr. Sexy," "Elements of Style"), and gold-digging ladies who only give big-bucks rappers the time of day ("Queens Get the Money"). For the most part, though, Capital D puts his extensive vocabulary to the more pressing issues of Chicago and America's social decline ("Ill Advisory," "Chatham," "Uncle Sam"), firing off some spectacularly articulate assaults in the process. Sometimes he over-intellectualizes, rendering rhymes fast, complex, and impossible for even the highest of IQs to unravel. But even when the lyrical flow seems impenetrable, Nimble's sublime selection of down-tempo cinematic backdrops--some sinister, some smooth, some jazz--remain stirring enough to keep the ears and mind totally hooked. --Dan Gennoe

ILL ADVISORY GOING DOWN.......2005-10-01

Its amazing when you look at the scale of overated rappers and DJs today such as young jeezy and Missy no talent. These are rappers who make millions off of stressing quantity over actual quality on tracks and albums and while wack MCs continue to push there weak style and ryhmes on the undereducated masses it seems as though capitol D and and his Dj are a truly talented crew who have slipped under the radar of even most underground heads this is probably due to lack of promotion or any backing by a real record label. I believe that through the history of Hiphop there are several albums that should be considered essential listening such as KRS-ONE Return Of The Boom Bap and MF DOOM Operation Doomsday. This album is not only an essential listen it is also one of the greatest Hiphop albums of all time in my humble opinion of course. capitol D proves him self to be a wonderful lyricist on this joint and he could probaly take out 99% of these cats on the radio talkin about they rims, hoes, guns and all of that other pointless nonsense. if you do not buy this CD or at least give it a listen you are seriously missing out. GET IT NOW

On Point MCs!!!!.......2002-03-26

I just love this crew!!!! They know and feel what they are doin'. Capital D is as sick as they come.... The rest of the crew complement him with their realness and passion shown in the whole album. If you are Hip-Hop....you know what to do.

Just Dope!!!!!.......2002-03-22

This is one of the illest albums to come out in 2001. If you love underground+Conscious hip-hop, this one is for You. Capital D is one of the illest MCs around and he proves himself in this album. The group is a bunch of intelligent MCs doing what they Love Most....

The BEST Underground Release for 2001.......2002-01-26

After years of bubbling in Chi-town's underground, All Natural rises to the surface with this triumphant release. "Second Nature" boasts some very dope skills from members Capital D and DJ Tone B Nimble. Production never falters, as the Molemen and J. Rawls take the helm on tracks not overlooked by DJ Tone B. Many social issues are addressed by Capital D, whose panache for intellectualism keeps a listener's attention firmly in his grasp. Philosophical tracks like "Appreciate Life" and my personal pick "Renaissance" focus on why its important to strive in times of anymosity and musical decadence. Other joints, like "Mr. Sexy" and "Queen's get the money" are well crafted attacks on gold diggers, that do not resort to generic, petty name-calling that is so abundant in mainstream hip-hop these days. "Second Nature" is a very well-rounded effort from these stalwarts, and should find a place in every true head's collection, as the most memorable album of 2001.

classic.......2001-07-24

I know, I know, the word 'classic' is criminally over used in hiphop, but this album is a rare treat. Capital D's rhymes and the solid beats take it back to the old school, not so much in terms of musical style, but in the sense of quality art coming from the street. Every track on here is dope. Anyone with even a passing interest in hiphop should buy this. Put the Puffy CD down and buy this one instead, it'll make you a better person. Peace.
