| | Ensemble Modern Plays Frank Zappa |
 | | By the time Ensemble Modern got together in the summer of 2001 under the direction of Jonathan Stockhammer to make the present recording, Ali N. Atkin and Todd Yvega could look back upon years of work "reconverting" Frank Zappa's Synclavier files to performance material in as authentic a way as possible. | | | The Adventures of Greggery Peccary and the Revised Music for Low-Budget Symphony Orchestra were to enjoy a resurrection 10 years later as performance material for Ensemble Modern. | | | The result is a journey through Zappa's sound universe, including the question "What Will Rumi Do?", Zappa's ostensibly spontaneous improvisation challenge to the brilliant female percussionist of Ensembles Modern, Rumi Ogawa - here taken on CD for the first time. |

| | It wasn't surprising that the Buggles' second release, Adventures in Modern Recording, didn't meet the expectations that 1980's internationally successful The Age of Plastic set. | | | Meanwhile, "Lenny" is a shot of adrenaline that could have fit nicely on Drama as well; actually, a good portion of that album is as much a Buggles recording as anything you'll find here, so to consider Adventures the second Buggles release would be unfair. | | | Both Horn and Downes had been working on several outside projects, including Yes' 1980 release Drama, which severely limited their time, and for the most part, Adventures was a Trevor Horn solo project; Geoff Downes only appears on three tracks. |

| | Adventures in a Perambulator |
| | I first became familiar with the piece several years ago, but this new CD is a modern recording and has the advantage of costing under a fiver! | | | The title of the piece is 'Adventures in a Perambulator', by an American composer called John Alden Carpenter (1876-1951). | | | Recently while browsing a local record shop I came across a recording in the classical section that I thought would be suitable for adult babies everywhere. |

| | With Libertine drummer Craig Adrienne and new bassist Jake Honeywill in tow, Ramon returns happily to the organic simplicity of analog 8-track recording. | | | Ramon's vocals scream (or whisper, as the case may be) Syd Barrett's influence; Anthony Clough's keyboards, while not bombastic, are reminiscent of the Nice's psychedelic adventures. | | | Modern Art's debut album was the first of Ramon's many records. |

| | Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music |
| | As in his earlier recording of the First and Sixth symphonies, Hugh Wolff finds the music's American essence in its playfulness, jazz rhythms, and, in the poignant slow movement, in a personal and modern unsettledness peculiar to the American psyche. | | | None of this is a concern in Decatur at Algiers (1943), a sort of mini-travelogue describing the composer's adventures that is notable for its shifting moods and use of local color. | | | But there's a deeper level here, a level that Theodore Kuchar and the National Symphony of the Ukraine never penetrate, being perfectly content to play the music as if it were merely Shostakovich with an accent. |

| | * Dusted Reviews - Squarepusher * |
| | Less than live up to the heights of albums such as 98s fusion masterpiece Music is Rotted One Note, this latest release shows the modern Squarepusher as a schizophrenic, angry beat-freak fighting to avoid classification with a stream of multi-directional sonic adventures. | | | Packaged as a two disc set, the album consists of an EP-length disc of new material and a somewhat disposable, 60-minute live recording. | | | A seizure-inducing, three-minute BPM blur, the track sets the stage for the epic album centerpiece Mutilation Colony. Cut-up organ, beats rising and crackling to silence Colony is alternately beautiful and maddening, the summation of Squarepusher himself. |

| | New Wave Outpost Message Board - Let's Discuss "We Built This City" |
| | I LOVE the Buggles so don't get this wrong but, Listen to the music on the song "Adventures in modern recording" and it sounds like some of the melody in "we built this city" then attach the melody from the line "this boy has got it made" etc...yeah I'm probably crazy. | | | Sad to think this is by a band who built up such great history and credibility in the previous years (Jefferson Airplane, not Starship). | | | I think its a shame that she was forever overshadowed first by Joplins death and then second, her only Number 1 song was We Built This Shitty. |

| | TrouserPress.com :: Sloan |
| | Through their gold-in-Canada records, their Murderecords label and a strong gravitational influence on the modern sound of their region, the needlessly humble and exceedingly versatile quartet has not only made the great Northeast a better place in which to shake and pop but also helped haul Canadian rock into synch with the Anglo-American hipoisie. | | | After all that, however, Sloan released a new 45 ("Same Old Flame" b/w "Stood Up") late in the year and finished recording a third album. | | | Their adventures in the greater alterna-rock world may not have left an enormous cosmic dent anywhere else, but Sloan — from the East Coast maritime city of Halifax, Nova Scotia — is a name young Canadians know. |

| | Bungy Jumping - a Short History |
| | The Dangerous Sports Club were interested in innovation and recording their adventures, not in commercial marketing; once they’d done something, they preferred to move on to the next project. | | | Modern bungy jumping was developed in the 1970s and 80s by members of the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club, an informal collection of public school and Oxford educated amateur sportsmen, whose approach to adventure was of the ‘because it hasn’t been done before’ variety. | | | The development of commercial bungy jumping was led by New Zealander AJ Hackett, who saw a video of one of the Dangerous Sportsmen’s jumps. |

| | Amazon.com: Cinema Serenade, Vol. 2: Music |
| | Cinema Serenade 2 presents beautiful arrangements of Steiner's themes for Now, Voyager and Gone With The Wind, Korngold's love theme from The Adventures of Robin Hood, Charlie Chaplin's lovely Modern Times and "St Patrick's Day," a traditional Irish song from the John Wayne classic The Quiet Man. | | | It was while I was listening to the radio (on the late WTMI 93.1 FM classical station) that the DJ played "As Time Goes By" and I discovered this recording of mostly lyrical themes; I listened to Perlman's haunting violin solos and the Boston Pops' bravura performance and nearly wept. | | | Since I consider myself to be a charter member of The Rick Blaine Society of Rank Sentimentalists, I'd have to say my favorite tracks on this album are Herman Hupfeld's timeless "As Time Goes By" from 1942's Casablanca and Victor Young's "My Foolish Heart" (from the 1949 film of the same title). |

| | Adrian's Album Reviews : The Buggles |
| | The Age Of Plastic, Adventures In Modern Recording, | | | And, it's ok. The album is ok. It's completely daft of course, but some of the melodies here really are worth seeking this album out for. | | | 'On TV' is a demonstration of Trevor Horns rapidly advancing production skills, sounds like it was recorded ten years after 'The Age Of Plastic' rather than just a couple of years. |

| | Music On Film Reviews - The Adventures of Robin Hood |
| | You hit the nail on the head re The Adventures of Robin Hood, especially with your very cogent observastion about the intricacy of the recording, the detail of the score being able to be heard in all of its complex glory. | | | Unlike many of the modern translations, such as the well crafted but oppressively dark Kevin Costner version, this version of the film is unencumbered by the baggage of irony and revels in its innocence and sense of fun. | | | Robin Hood is one of Korngold’s more “European” scores in that it isn’t the simplified orchestrations and overtly homophonic texture that most of the rest of Hollywood was writing at the time. |
