Prefab Compilation Album It's a Prefab World! Contact: PreFab International Productions email: [email protected] web: prefabgroup.com PreFab compilation album It’s a PreFab World! released May 2012 American record label PreFab International Records is pleased to announce the release of it’s first compilation album It’s a PreFab World! The label, primarily known as a home for the recording projects of musician Phil Gammage, has assembled a stellar collection that highlights some of the best songs of the past few years from it’s catalog. What sets this compilation apart from the competition though, is the wealth of rare and previously unreleased tracks that make the bulk of the content. Featured songs from previous PreFab albums include “In Love Again” from The Scarlet Dukes (used in a 2008 Walmart commercial), Claudia’s version of Lou Reed’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror” from her debut CD single, downtown legends Certain General with their classic “Maximum G” from the essential Live at the Public Theatre, and Phil’s “Nueva York” from his jazz instrumental collection Tracks of Sound The rare and previously unreleased music from these artists that appear on It’s a PreFab World! are as strong or exceed the featured songs from their other PreFab albums. Certain General scores with the moody “I’ll Behave”. Songstress Claudia showcases her talents with her unique versions of Nirvana’s “About a Girl” and label-mates Certain General’s composition “Heathcliff Skies”. Gammage stretches out on guitar in the instrumental workouts “Third Avenue Wind Tunnel” and “Stacey Says”. And Phil’s neo-lounge project Voodoo Martini re-emerges with a new lineup and their first new recordings in over a decade (!?) with “Naked in the Rain”, “I Kissed My Girl”, and others. What’s there not to like about this great collection of music that features some of the finest musicians America has to offer! It truly is a PreFab world! Available for digital purchase through major digital distributors (iTunes, Amazon, etc.) .

My co-host Oliver Wang is away, but will Rhodes be back next week. So today it’s just me; and you are listening to Heat Rocks. Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock, you know, incendiary material, an album that feels like fire shut up in your bones; and today, we will be taking it back together to revisit a compilation record released by ABKCO Records called Sam Cooke: Portrait of a Legend. 00:00:32 Music Music “Nothing Can Change This Love” off the album Portrait of a Legend by Sam Cooke. A slow, tender song. If I go, a million miles away I'd write a letter, each and everyday Cause honey nothing, nothing can ever change this love I have for you 00:01:00 Morgan Host What a beautiful challenge that had to have been, taking a voice like Sam Cooke’s, a career like Sam Cooke’s, a discography like Sam Cooke’s, and a life like Sam Cooke’s, and compiling 30 gems on a project. ABKCO Records did just this, releasing a Portrait of a Legend on June 17th, 2003. The compilation, bookended by two gospel tracks, “Touch The Hem Of His Garment”, and “Nearer to Thee”, covers the years 1951-1964, from Sam’s humble beginnings as one of the stars of an all-star gospel group, the Soul Stirrers, to pop sensationalism, chief crooner, to fallen star, to legend.

For over sixty years, the ability for artists to package a cohesive collection of performances has remained of paramount priority and an art within itself, notwithstanding the flurry of technological innovations that have altered the album’s size, shape, length, and interactivity.

Included is an examination of literature and creative work focused on the Golden Age of Hip-Hop that explores early sampling processes and techniques. Through original compositions and an exegesis, the study provides unique and significant contributions to the field including the identification of four approaches to the design and construction of sample-based composition and associated techniques for achieving them using contemporary music technologies. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop is presented as a historical period of musical significance, not only for defining new genres and sub genres of music, but because of the influencing factors that emerging technologies had on new compositional processes and outcomes.

  • Representations of Chinese Rock Bands”
    Representations of Chinese Rock An Analysis of Contemporary Reviews of Chinese Rock- Groups Magnus Forseth Masteroppgave ved Instituttet for Kulturstudier og Orientalske Språk/Det Humanistiske Fakultet UNIVERSITETET I OSLO 23.11.2011 II Representations of Chinese Rock An Analysis of Contemporary Reviews of Chinese Rock-Groups III © Magnus Forseth 2011 Representations of Chinese Rock Magnus Forseth http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Summary In this paper I will try to address tendencies of Orientalist representation found in certain examples of Western English-written album-reviews. When reviewing Chinese bands some music-critics have reduced contemporary Chinese rock-bands to merely being copies of Western groups. (Both good and bad) Of which some groups only seem to deserve attention because they were part of a Western protagonist’s pop-cultural “discovery” - a discovery by the West for the West. Often the protagonist (journalist, writer or compiler) is highlighted as an outstanding individual because he or she found something “rare” to present to a Western audience. I will argue that representations such as these reinvigorate Orientalism, as Edward Said defines the term. In addition, Chinese bands have sometimes been presented as under- developed; not only musically - as mere copyists - but also culturally; as members of a culturally “under-developed” state. In that way certain Western music-journalists contribute to create a discourse which furthers the conceived cultural-hegemony of the “West” over the “East.” My analysis of album-reviews published on the Internet will also try to show a tendency among certain music-journalists to compare Chinese bands solely on the basis of Western rock-tradition and Western bands.
