Fujiya & Miyagi are not Japanese nor are they a duo, but are in fact a trio of rather cheeky Brits. Keeping with the multi-cultural theme, they also love Neu!-style Krautrock, with its metronome rhythms and cerebral melodies. This second release after 2003's Electro Karaoke in the Negative Style is filled with sly statements and cute jokes about commodity and materialism--Transparent Things is a particularly apt title--but more than anything else it's a goofball lark. With the music-nerd navel-gazing of LCD Soundsystem, but also the sonic aesthetic of Stereolab, it can be enjoyed regardless of whether you want to get geeky. Some might say it's best enjoyed that way, as some of the record's most enjoyable moments, like the skittery last few minutes of "Photocopier" or the instrumental "Cassettesingle" aren't about words at all. At times it's downright danceable, with tracks like "Reeboks in Heaven" exhibiting an abstract, electro grooviness. Their devotion to quirk ends up being a little too cute occasionally (like when they use the band name as a chant in "Ankle Injuries"), but their energy is so harmless it's easy to overlook it. Don't worry about getting all the jokes; Fujiya & Miyagi would likely be happier if you turned your brain off and cut a rug instead. --Matthew CookeAlbum Description
Fans of Hot Chip and Air will appreciate Fujiya & Miyagi's brand of witty and wiry electronica. Singer Dave Best whispers obtuse stream-of-consciousness lyrics about scoring new kicks ("Collarbone") and getting socked by a girl ("Sucker Punch") over slinky dance-punk backdrops. "We were just pretending to be Japanese," the frontman playfully repeats in "Photocopier." But don't be fooled -- their urban jungle soundtrack is the real deal.Customer Reviews:

Album Description
The fifth installment in the Other Side series features the critically acclaimed rapper/producer Madlib on the mix CD and Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf `s visual guide to LA's sights, sites and sounds on DVD. Madlib's diverse audio tour includes tracks from the eclectic/outrageous jazz consciousness originator - Sun Ra Arkestra, 60's psychedelic blues quintet Outlaw Blues Band, legendary reggae drummer (Burning Spear) Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Jamaican record label head/DJ Producer Prince Jazzbo, and Madlib's own tunes- as Beat Konducta (solo) & with collaborator Jaydee (Jaylib) and an exlusive track "Infinity". Hailing from the unlikely beach town of Oxnard, 40 miles north of Los Angeles, the multi-dimensional Madlib quickly rose to prominence as one of the most interesting figures in late-'90s hip-hop. His expansive style and deft touch for composition made him one of hip-hop's most sought-after producers. An enthusiastic crate digger, with a deep reverence for jazz and soul, Madlib branched out into a number of ambitious, engaging solo projects. After hooking up with Los Angeles DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib did a lot of production for Wolf's Stones Throw label. In 1999 the label released Quasimoto's astonishing The Unseen LP. Doubling as himself and his alter ego Quasimoto, Madlib handled vocals and production duties on the album, a huge critical success. With each year Madlib has continued to expand his abilities beyond the core hip hop that he is known for and The Other Side - Los Angeles proves the point again.Customer Reviews:
Good CD, BAD DVD - I paid to watch adverts?.......2007-06-10
The CD on the other hand is quite good. There were no tracks which I disliked. A great assorment of tracks from Jazz, Regae, Hip-Hop, Funk and Blues, the last track escpecially by the Freestyle Fellowship is sweet as.
I would recommend buying the soundtrack, but steer clear of the DVD unless you want to watch 60 mins of advertisments.
I would buy from this seller again in a second.......2007-05-07

Loads of content and music for your money........2007-04-06
Aside from my disappointment of it not being a full DJ mix, Allien has compiled a list of some very good techno goodies, including two of the most popular tech house/minimal tracks of 2006, Âme's Rej and Booka Shade's In White Rooms. There is also a stunning Carl Craig remix of Rhythm & Sound's Poor People Must Work. Ellen has ecclectic taste in music, and this one is no different, as she adds a punk track, and one classic rock song that is actually sung in German by David Bowie.
The DVD portion really impressed me, as it surpasses the others in this series (Time Out Paris was only 24 minutes total), and they have gone to a separate disc and added much more content. It is also chock full of more techno and IDM tracks that are not on the CD portion. It starts off with a very well produced 48 minute documentary hosted by the übercute Ellen, who takes us shopping for clothes and records, and hangs out with other electronic artists like Modeselektor, Seth Hodder, and even Richie Hawtin, who all chat briefly on camera. She mostly speaks English, but some portions are subtitled when she speaks German. On top of that, the background music is full of tracks from Ellen's own current and back catalog, which makes this a well rounded 48 minute tour full of great sights and sounds.
The DVD still has more to come, with segments ranging from 8 to 27 minutes, concetrating on shopping, food, clubs, accomodations, and other miscellaneous sites in and around Berlin. And all this set to even more juicy techno tracks, that I believe are mostly from Ellen's BPitch Control label. It's just the music playing, with informational text at the bottom as they visit many locations. I wish they provided a tracklisting! There is a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes of video footage, between these segments and Ellen's portion, all set to the best musical background one could ever want for a documentary!
This is a great purchase, and could have been a truly overwhelming release, had it just had a full DJ mix by Ellen on the CD, but what we do have is an incredible amount of techno music and one very well produced DVD video on Berlin.

Customer Reviews:
Great music.......2007-05-16
The first tune works itself into a frantic modal groove with lots of colorful percussion. It reminds me a lot of McCoy Tyner's work from the early 70s, though there's more collective improvisation on this disc.
The second track is a really magical, beautiful performance of "Let Us Go into the House of the Lord". Arranged much like Coltrane's "Psalm" and "Song of Praise", Pharoah's ecstatic playing frames great solos by Smith and bassist Cecil McBee.
Personally, I like this album more than the better-known Karma. This is the kind of disc that will appeal to fans of McCoy Tyner's early 70s work, Sweetnighter-era Weather Report, or Keith Jarrett's Impulse albums. Recommended!
Followup to the stunning records of the previous year........2005-10-13
"Deaf Dumb Blind (Summun Bukmum Umyum)", the result of this session, finds an octet performing music similar in tone to last year's "Sun in Aquarius" (off of "Jewels of Thought"). Sanders, eschewing his usual tenor sax in favor of the soprano, wood flutes, and whistles is joined by trumpeter Woody Shaw, altoist Gary Bartz, longtime musical partner pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, bassist Cecil McBee, drummer Clifford Jarvis, and percussionists Nathaniel Bettis and Anthony Wiles. The soaking of percussion (just about everyone is credited with some form of percussion) and Smith's piano phrasing lend some consistency to the sound with previous records, but with Sanders only performing on the straight horn, that deep digging he managed on previous albums is lacking, and certainly at times you think, "wow this would be perfect for that Leon Thomas styled improv" (the attempts at replicating it by Woody Shaw and Nathaniel Bettis fall far short), and while the two extended pieces (one is 21 minutes, the ohter about 18) are both decent listens, neither is particularly attention getting. Admittedly, "Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord" fares better than the title track, but Sanders did much better in the past.
Still, if you're craving more after "Karma" and "Jewels of Thought", this is a decent place to look.
ERMM!.....Cool.......2003-05-06
So i come to this site and had a listen to some of the tunes on offer including this one, and had actually thought it was fairly good due to the rythem of the tunes there is a certain vibe that leaves you feeling jiggy of some sort.
And normally when i listen to jazz it uaually annoise me but this one did not so there fore i rate it quite well, in my opinion its got to be one of the most exciting jazz albums for me anyway, but any jazz fans outthere i recomend this to ya as a taste of something with a bit of zest or VaVaVa VOOM!.
Thanx
Very spiritual.......2002-12-11
Maybe the Best Impulse Album.......2002-10-17
First of all, the percussion groove on this album really kicks! Sometimes, both on Karma and on Jewels of Thought, the percussion sounds more like a collection of colors, rather than a propelling force. On this CD the percussion is out front, and deeply African in spirit. Propelled by marvelous conga playing from Anthony Wiles and African percussion from Nathaniel Bettis, great trap work by Clifford Jarvis, along with the rest of the ensemble on small percussion, the pieces really cook. Second, the horn section is stellar; Woody Shaw and Gary Bartz. Third, you have the first large scale appearance of Pharoah on soprano, which is every bit as beautiful as his tenor playing. Fourth, (and this may not pertain to everyone) there's no yodelling, or at least very little. I actually like Leon Thomas' contributions to Karma and Jewels, but I know that it puts many people off. This album is all instrumental.
Both cuts on the album are stellar. Summun, Bukmun, Umyun (Deaf, Dumb and Blind) is one of Pharoah's long two chord jams. With the wonderful percussion behind it, the track is both tied to the earth and wandering in the heavens all at once. The second track, Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord is a sublime, out of tempo modal chant. It moves me to tears.
In their time, Pharoah's Impulse albums never got the credit they deserved. Critics either dismissed him as just revamping old Coltrane ideas, or as too involved with the 60s rock ethos. Conservatives felt he was too free and had no traditional chops, and the progressives felt that the unrestrained modalisms of the albums represented a betrayal of the avant-garde energy school and a step back from Pharoah's ground breaking work with Trane. Both sides got Pharoah all wrong. Pharoah was trying to speak peace in a world that just didn't want to hear it...and that meant following his muse, no matter where it led him. It still does mean that for Pharoah, and he still leaves fans confused. Those who want him to retain his fire from the Trane period are disappointed with the ballad albums and the Bill Laswell produced things. Those who want a more mellow Pharoah are shocked by the fire of albums like Spirit. The true mark of Pharoah's genius is that he goes his own way always, no matter what anyone else says.
So snap up this album soon. Word is that the company who owns the Impulse catalogue is thinking of discontinuing the series again, so who knows when you may have the chance again. Work this beautiful needs to be heard.
