Solid post-Tortoise PR........2003-08-19

I'm getting tired of this damn word postrock, can I just abbreviate it now? (how about a new phrase?) well most music is genre-less, but this music reeks of Tortoise (I think one member is from Aerial M). On first listen, I was very very impressed. I thought to myself how happy I was that I was not wasting time obsessing over other post-Tortoise groups like Fridge, and now I could rave about this one to all my friends. But on repeated listens, it wore thin. It's more of the same as those instruments-mimicking-samplers groups, but this is really bordering on the electronic fringe. It's futuristic, no doubt... that's the primary reason I enjoy it I must say. It hints that something beautiful is forming in our society. Something is bubbling up in the music; I bet they could be really good and fun live (if only indie people danced like the hippies and ravers do!) However, what I really enjoy now, after repeated listens, is the textures and layers of the instruments utilized to achieve some of the perspectives. Repeated piano riffs bordering on banging because they're so hidden under organs and guitars... I love microtextures, and this has it. However, if you're looking for sheer beauty, try something else like Do Make Say Think or Tarentel.

Just plain great. Temporary Residence ceases to amaze me with each release, and this is no exception.

A good memento of a time and place.......2005-09-21

As a young singer I participated in most of these recordings, so it's a bit hard to be objective. The most successful segments are those on the "Lessons and Carols" disc, recorded in May of 1981. John Walker's organ accompaniments are subtle and beautifully voiced; as a result the choral singing they accompany is consistent, beautifully blended and in tune. The readings, particularly the reading and prayer from William Sloane Coffin, are wonderful to hear again.

The rest, recorded in 1978 and 1979, are much less successful. There is much oversinging, even screaming, in the louder choral passages, the choral sound in general is "woofy", not very in tune and unblended, in the fashion of much choral singing of the time, and the organ playing of Swann and McDonald as accompaniment is consistently too loud, even ugly in tone. The only articulate and beautiful playing on these earlier recordings is that of the late organist and harpsichordist Jerry Brainard, and he participates in only two selections! These recordings were made with three microphones, a stereo pair at the front and one at the back for ambience, in the dry acoustic Riverside had at the time (it has since been "corrected" to a soupy overreverberance), so microphoning was not the problem. This is a good represntation of the way this sounded at the time, according to listeners in the congregation.

Also, as was true of the original LP releases, the stereo image on the earlier recordings is reversed: left is right and right is left. I'm surprised that this error was not caught and corrected in the digital transfer. Much of the analog tape noise has been eliminated, but there is still quite a bit of audio distortion in the louder portions. On my copy, the CD's had some trackinig difficulties, even on a new player.

Album Description

Many studies have linked a child's exposure to music with high achievement later in life. At Rocket Baby, we feel a child needs to be more than "exposed" to music at a young age, they need to be "immersed" in it. If listening expands the mind, imagine what listening, feeling, dancing and participating can do? By getting your child on their feet, or into your arms their entire body and mind are involved in the music.

Many children's CD's are designed to be listened to in the car on long trips or used to lull children to sleep. Rocket Baby - Shake, Rattle & Rhyme, on the other hand, is designed to get everyone out of their chairs, irresistibly moving to the music. Whether it is Samba, Cha-Cha or even the tango, each song puts the baby in your arms, or the toddler in your hands and you find yourself dancing together around the room.

Rocket Baby: Shake, Rattle & Rhyme.......2003-02-15

I truly recommend this cd for all ages. This cd is a creative way of incorporating the latin, jazzy, flavors into everyday children's rhymes. My fifteen month old son just loves dancing and moving to heavenly sounds of each track,especially, the salsa and merengue beat. Grandma is also grooving, too. It should be added to every child's music library.
