Krell KAV-250cd, Part 9
15 years ago, I was enjoying a few tracks off of OMD's Liberator album. An interesting one is "Dream Of Me," which samples "Love's Theme," by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. And now that I think about it, the o… -
Krell KAV-250cd, Part 8
I still recall that, 20 years ago, in early '89, Guns N' Roses' G N' R Lies created some controversy. But musically, we started to see how GNR got their Stones vibe from guitarist Izzy Stradlin, their art rock from Axl … -

Can you believe it's been 35 years since Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic came out? That was in 1974, and I have little or no recollection of that time. But all along, I repeatedly hear from fans that this is The Dan's most … -

In early 1984, Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" was a huge hit. While some people enjoy Michael Jackson on background vocals, this song is just clever, hilarious, and enjoyable. It's hard to find this on CD. But it… -

10 years ago, Aqua were all the rage. Their hyperkinetic "Barbie Girl" and "Doctor Jones" were very difficult for audio components to reproduce. And that's why I used Aqua as reference material. And besides, their mus… -
