Motherland [Enhanced]

Amazon.com
Just as Natalie Merchant donned a mythical persona for her last proper solo release, 1998's Ophelia, the buttery-voiced performer enjoys another stint as a quick-change artist on Motherland. From the trilling Middle Eastern flavor of opener "This House Is on Fire" to the evocative Latin classical guitar tones on "The Worst Thing," Merchant seems to enjoy pressing her steadfast, throaty vocals into new terrain as much as she does trying on dresses and high heels. While most of Motherland resides in the downtempo, ballad-heavy world that Ophelia did, most of the singer's diehard fans will appreciate her thoughtful phrasing and pastel soundscapes. There may not be fireworks, but the ex-10,000 Maniacs frontwoman knows her way around a sad song: "Golden Boy" excels as a wispy November poem, while she wiggles into torch-singer mode on "Put the Law on You." But the record's true standout is "Tell Yourself," an almost sprightly tune with sunny acoustics that resemble the Maniacs' "Don't Talk." Merchant may not be inherently comfortable in her own skin, but, like a salamander, she's excellent at transforming her surroundings without sacrificing her creative soul. --Kristy Martin

Beautiful voice.......2007-05-08

Natalie has a wonderful throaty voice which carries a song farther than one could imagine. If you like to listen to the voice of a woman and not a teenager, pick Natalie Merchant!

What Happened to Natalie's Voice?.......2007-04-02

What is Natalie trying to prove now? I've got just about all her albums...great stuff...and love the few times I've seen her "live" on television...but what is wrong with her voice? I've listened to this album several times over the years I've had it here, and just keep thinking that she sounds like someone who was advised to smoke a lot of cheap cigars, in an effort to lower or deepen her voice...and possibly a daily ration of scotch to go with that. She sounds tired, gray, and as if someone has slowed down the record...like someone trudging through a foggy day. I suppose it could be that her overflowing social conscience has her thinking she's a woman of color now, and she's trying to emulate the sound of a black woman blues singer...I don't know...but it's sad.

Absolutely Fabulous.......2007-02-22

You'll get mixed reviews for this one, possibly because a lot of listeners expect something akin to the shimmering, quirky pop of her first album - and of course, the maniacs.

This album is a departure from the earlier pure-pop sound. It's a lot more rootsy, exploring a few different styles including gospel and blues.

Lyrically, her songs are well developed and evocative, while the insights she offers sound authentic. The song Motherland is stunning. It's definitely a standout and possibly one of Ms Merchant's best compositions. It appears to describe a mother (perhaps the writer) considering the future of her "five & dime queen" - what I take to be a portrayal of a little girl caught up in the childish pleasures of cheap glitzy treasures and dime store trinkets, while the mother mixes joy and sadness, watching her and contemplating the world that she will inherit.

As an aside, the front cover photo was taken outside New York while the planes flew overhead, enroute to the WTC. It was a sad coincidence but somehow adds poignancy to this moving song. Strangely, Bob Dylan's love and theft was released on that fateful day, while Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was supposed to be released but was delayed through contractual wrangling. Wilco's cover had a picture of two tall buildings (the tallest in Chicago) and the unusual lyrics, "tall buildings shake, voices quake singing sad, sad songs". Make of that what you will.

Henry Darger is another fine song about a very strange man inhabiting a very strange mythological world of his own imagination, which he committed to an enormous set of books. Adding to the mystery of this tale is the fact that a young girl's disappearance at the time seemed inexplicably linked to Henry Darger and makes an appearance in his writing. Was he somehow involved? Or simply deeply affected by the news articles surrounding the girl's disappearance? The implecation to his writing is the difference between darkness and light. Mystery upon mystery in this song.

The sound quality of this recording is superb and T Bone Burnett has a hand in the proceedings. Listeners with an excellent sound system will be rewarded.

Above the Rest.......2006-11-11

Truly Natalie at her prime! I love the eclectic style of sounds and the passion of her music. She is incredible!

Motherland-Wonderland.......2006-06-30

How can one describe this music? Don't! Just listen to this beautiful cd. It's an impressive masterpiece! Mrs. Merchant's voice 'has it all'. The songs?: characteristic, original, beautyful , fragile...oh....cut the crap and listen!

JUST PERFECTION!!.......2006-04-08

I have all of Dmitri's recordings and this is my favorite due to the quality of the songs, Dmitri's mastery of all of them and the really lush orchestrations. All of the songs are just gorgeous and his voice so beautiful that I listen to this all day at work on my portable CD player. I recently saw him in concert and purchased the DVD of the "War Songs" which were featured in the second half of his concert. Of course, I recommend the CD and the DVD as really stunning. However, if I could only listen to one of his CD's, this is my favorite. As a former singer who trained for 15 years, I can tell you that Dmitri's vocal technique is perfect, just perfect! The voice comes from heaven! Don't wait to get this one!

Hvorostovsky...........again, magic.......2006-02-14

Moscow Nights - This collection is emotionally draining, sad; the minor keys, the great poets and composers, an era unexpressed to Americans. It is a revelation, tended by one of the most beautiful of Russian voices. Listen to it in pieces, in a quiet space, and ponder. Dmitri commands an opera stage - two visits to Queen of Spades at the Met- can lead to no other conclusion. However, it is his quiet recollections of Russian folk music, Russian sacred music, and Soviet music that arouses his greatest talents. This is a recording to be treasured.

hvorostovsky does it again.......2005-05-01

This is the latest installment of the succesfull Hvorostosky/Orbelian collaboration. In "I met you my love" the spotlight was on the socalled Russian Romances, russian art songs of the 19e century. Then came " Where are you my brothers" a collection of Russian war songs. This title contains a collection of the best post war(50s&60s) songs. If you love melodious songs in minor key this is it.The selection is quiet varied and everybody will have his or her own favourites. For me there was'nt a redundant song. The singing is as always faultless and inspired, the Moscow Chamber Orchestra plays topnotch and the arrangments by Evgeny Stesyuk are as always beautifull. But be warned this cd can have a depressing effect because besides being beautifull this music is also mostly very moving. Buy if you love russian music and good musicianship you can't go wrong with this one.

Amazon.com

From his work with Dizzy Gillespie and Wynton Marsalis to his pioneering recordings including The Journey and PanaMonk, Panamanian pianist-composer Danilo Perez has evolved into one of the most complete musicians of his generation. This monumental CD is his most intricate and engaging to date. Perez's approach to the African musical imprint in the Americas, with its U.S., Caribbean, Central American, and South American branches, is the aural equivalent of a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel steeped in the magical realisms of the Americas.

In Perez's hands, national rhythms blend with jazz, folkloric, and classical musical forms and merge with his encyclopedic keyboard conception on acoustic and electric piano. He's backed by an all-world array of musicians including soprano and alto saxophonist Chris Potter, violinist Regina Carter, drummer Brian Blade, and bassist John Patitucci from the U.S.; trumpeter Diego Urcola from Argentina; and singer Claudia Acuna from Chile. Perez takes the listener on a tour: from the Latin blues of "Suite for the Americas, Parts 1 and 2," and Richard Bona's funky Afro-Brazilian basslines on "Pan Africa" to the choral, Cuban complexity of "Overture." The highlights of the CD are Perez's updates of "Panama Libre" and "Panama 2000" from his self-titled debut and The Journey. They show off his arranging genius, and highlight his new role as the Cultural Ambassador of Panama. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Customer Reviews:

The new path.......2001-01-13

Motherland is a clear indication that jazz is about to change its path. Danilo Perez is quickly becoming the MIles Davis of this decade. As a fusion master, Danilo Perez has pushed the limits of jazz to new realms ; refreshening, intense but delicate, this album may become a landmark as to the direction jazz music will go from now on. I agree 100% with The new York Times Critic's choice as No.1 pick of the year 2000. On the other hand, the recent nomination to the Grammys on the Latin Jazz Category indicates that the Academy is not yet prepared to recognized this talented panamanian as master pianist/composer/arranger in the jazz genre ( without adjectives) . Its to hard to accept, coming from a latino, that he speaks the jazz language more fluently that most jazz pianists in the world.

Watch for more to come from Danilo Perez in the near future.

The new Trend in Jazz/ A panamanian conquistador.......2001-01-10

With Motherland ,Danilo Perez proves one more time that jazz is the perfect ground for planting the universal or world music seed. He is a master of fusion that deserves wider recognition. I was glad to see Motherland as the year 2000 No.1 pick of The New York Times critic's choice ; it's a well deserve award. Also, Motherlands'nomination for the Grammys in the Latin Jazz category shows that the music academy is facing a big dilema "clasifying" this Latino that somehow speaks the true American Jazz language more fluently than most pianists in the world. We'll they ever be brave enough to nominate him in the Jazz Category, without adjectives? this is not Latin Jazz, is music at its best.

His best so far.......2000-10-31

Motherland is Danilo Perez's best. He just seems to improve with every album. I thought he'd reached his zenith after his release of The Journey, then after Panamonk, then after Central Avenue. I'm happy to be wrong, yet again. As a panamanian, this record (and in fact all his records) strike a particular nationalistic vein. In this album, "Elegant Dance" was easy to recognize as a "punto", a popular dance back home. All his rhythms, techniques, improvisations, just scream "Latin". But they're also a universal code, accessible to anyone, from any nationality.

Personal Synthesis.......2000-09-22

Along the lines of Keith Jarrett's "Expectations" and Wayne Shorter albums like "Native Dancer", Danilo's latest is a sincere, personal synthesis of influences and experiences that crosses all genres. There need to be more albums like this that, instead of sticking stubbornly to one genre or jumping frantically among many, reflects Shorter's one-time definition of jazz: "no genre."

Roy Ayers 'Destination Motherland'..........2005-08-03

I found this two CD set to be an unexpected suprise! Most of the material I was already familiar with since I owned the albums on Wax. However, the song "Memory" has stuck with me! A most enjoyable collection - I recommend it for those who are not Familiar with Roy Ayers. A very broad sweep of the work he had done at Polydor Records in the 70's!

Orchestral odes and arias from the late 30s to early 60s........2005-06-09

ASV have produced almost a dozen CDs of Tjeknavorian recording Armenia's most famous muscial son Khachaturian so are to be congratulated for a worthy enterprise. However I don't know, forgive me, a great deal about Armenian music so the 4-star rating is simply based on comparing the more familiar 1956 Ode of Joy (sung in Russian) with the recording by Orbelian on Delos, or rather comparing mezzo-soprano Vardouhi Khachatrian with Marina Domashenko. I have to say I preferred the Russian performance which seemed more in keeping with the Khachaturian we know from Spartacus, and Delos won a star for providing the Russian text. The other pieces on the CD, which I'd never heard before so have nothing to compare them with, are all sung in Armenian. At least I think so, since [6] appears to be an Armenian translation of an Azerbaijani poem...

Guilty Pleasures Again?.......2000-11-08

This new ASV disc partly duplicates an earlier issue on Citadel, which included the "Poem to Stalin" and the "Three Concert Arias." The Citadel disc employed Byelorussian forces. The ASV disc is part of a Khachaturyan series under Tjeknavorian and his Armenian orchestra. All of the works on the ASV program reflect the political pressures put on composers by Stalin and the Bolsheviks. The words are repugnant considering the character of the regime, but the music can be separated by a mental act from the texts. The "Poem to Stalin" comes from 1938, just after "the Man of Steel" had used the show-trials to complete the slaughter of his old revolutionary comrades, along with several thousand other citizens of the Socialist Republics whom the Leader and Teacher's judicial henchmen had accused of "sabotage," "wrecking," and "counter-revolutionary activity." (Prokofiev's "Zhdravitsa" [1939] emerged in the same grisly aftermath.) The "Poem" shows the same general pattern as the purely orchestral "Triumphal Poem" (1957) of twenty years later: A chain of singable, folk-inflected melodies leading up to a brassy apotheosis of the Leader and Teacher. The tunes boast the exotic flavor that we expect from this Russian-Georgian-Armenian composer, and as long as one pays no heed to the words, it is exciting in a cinematic way. The "Three Concert Arias" constitute a "concerto for high voice" to join the other solo-with-orchestra scores that carry Khachaturyan's name. While the three texts have nothing to do with each other (but at least none mentions Stalin!), the melodies (as always) exert considerable appeal. The "Ode of Joy" and "The Ballad of the Motherland" are more of the same: Armenian-Georgian dance-rhythms and brassy orchestration. Both the sound and the performances are better than on a similar program put out by Citadel.

Album Description

"If ever a record was ripe for reissue, Khan Jamal's invisible release on Dogtown is the exact fruit everyone should be trying to harvest." - Wax Poetics

There's not another album on the planet that sounds even remotely like vibraphonist Khan Jamal's eccentric, one-of-a-kind masterpiece, Drumdance to the Motherland. In its improbable fusion of free jazz expressionism, Black psychedelia, and full-on dub-like production techniques, Drumdance remains a bracingly powerful outsider statement thirty-four years after it was recorded live at the Catacombs club in Philadelphia in 1972. Comparisons to Sun Ra, King Tubby, Phil Cohran, and BYG/Actuel merely hint at the cosmic otherness conjured by the band and by recording engineer Mario Falana's real-time "enhancements." The first edition of 300 copies, issued by Jamal in 1973 on the local Philadelphia label Dogtown, was barely distributed outside the city's limits. Since then, Drumdance has assumed a mythic status among the very few aficionados, eBay mutants, and heads that know of it at all. Hallelujah that it can finally be heard outside their murky inner sanctums!
