Rodrigo y Gabriela (with Bonus DVD)
:Album Description:The sleeve photo of a crocodile's eye with a faint image of Rodrigo and Gabriela superimposed, suits the artists' desire for something which didn't shout 'Mexican guitarists' or 'Couples.'

He handles crocodiles, and tourists come to photograph him. Diablo Rojo - Inspired by a wild rollercoaster called 'Red Devil' at a theme park in Copenhagen, Denmark. ...

Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix
: :\N :Experience Hendrix brings together the major singles with a stack of majestic album tracks and the career-defining live Woodstock version of 'The Star Spangled Banner' on a fat 20-tracker. While best used as a sampler to direct new listeners to the immortal Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and so on, the CD (which supplants the short-lived Ultimate Experience collection) does hang together as a listen. Its blend of Hendrix the rocker and Hendrix the underrated soul man is suggestive, painting a picture of a ...

Physical Graffiti
: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: LED ZEPPELINTitle: PHYSICAL GRAFFITIStreet Release Date: 08/16/1994DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP essential recording:This 1975 release came smack in the middle of a long and nearly mythic career. Physical Graffiti is the last great Led Zeppelin title, recorded before the influences of the day (synthesizers, disco) ended Zeppelin's reign as the kings of loud and sexy blues-metal. Playfully experimenting with new sounds, the band blended Middle Eastern rhythms, folk-stylings, heavy blues, and deeply impassioned rock riffs into a two-disc set ...

Led Zeppelin 1
: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: LED ZEPPELINTitle: LED ZEPPELINStreet Release Date: 06/21/1994DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP :As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's 'I Can't Quit ...

Electric Ladyland
: :\N essential recording:Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix's second album release of 1968 (following Axis: Bold as Love) was a double-LP set that showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer: blistering blues ('Voodoo Chile'), galaxy-patrolling space jams ('1983... A Merman I Should Turn to Be'), psychedelic soul ('Crosstown Traffic'), and skyscraping rock ('Voodoo Child (Slight Return)'). In the midst of all this was even a hit song--Hendrix's remarkable reading of Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower,' featuring a series of baton-passing ...

Are You Experienced
: essential recording:As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shakeups that it really didn't seem as 'far out' as it actually was. It wasn't just Hendrix's virtuosic skill as a pure player that was so impressive; it was, even more, the range and scope of sheer sound that he coaxed, cajoled, and ripped out of his instrument. 'Purple Haze,' 'Manic Depression,' and 'I Don't Live ...

Led Zeppelin II
: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: LED ZEPPELINTitle: LED ZEPPELIN 2Street Release Date: 06/21/1994DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP essential recording:Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were all about, and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd indeed learned his lessons well. Witness 'Whole Lotta Love,' a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the mock-dramatic 'Heartbreaker,' propelled by far more intricate but similarly effective note squashing. Between ...
