Chronic, The

£5.65

This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files including the video for Dre Day. Personnel: Dr. Dre (rap vocals, keyboards, drum programming); Bushwick Bill, D.O.C., Snooy Doggy Dogg (rap vocals); Eric Borders, Chris Clairmont (guitar); Katisse Buckingham (flute, saxophone); Colin Wolfe (keyboards, bass); Justin Reinhardt (keyboards); Cheron Moore (drums); That Nigga Daz (programming). Engineers: Dr. Dre, Greg Gregski Royal, Chris The Glove Taylor. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Let Me Ride won the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Rap Soloist. A great hip-hop album relies on a balance of two components: lyrical skill and correctly-matched production. Often they can be found in conflict, undermining one another; but when an artist masters both techniques, the results can be incredibly rewarding. On his solo debut THE CHRONIC, Dr. Dre not only discovered this balance but took it to the next level, making gangsta funk a multi-platinum commodity and changing the face of rap forever. Dre (nee Andre Young) began his musical career with the World Class Wreckin' Cru, but came to prominence as one of the founding members of hip-hop's first super-group, N.W.A. By the time of THE CHRONIC's release, he had already returned to the limelight with a slammin' single, Deep Cover, on which he shared the stage with a previously unknown rapper named Snoop Doggy Dogg. It was Snoop's idiosyncratic flow that lay behind Dre's Funkadelicized G-Funk and powered THE CHRONIC. Dre is the West Coast's king of hard-core production, but the content of lyrics such as A Nigga Witta Gun and Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat hit hard enough. Songs such as Bitches Ain't S**t also showed that Dre and the rest of his crew could get away with many controversial opinions by simply adding a mean bass line and a hypnotic beat. Yet, Nuthin' But A `G' Thing and Let Me Ride both used the smooth G appeal to capture not just rap fans, but the pop audience as well. In fact, THE CHRONIC's success demonstrated G-Funk's mass appeal, and paved the way for hip-hop's gangsta (r)evolution.

Thriller [vinyl Classics]

£9.49

***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A CD AND NOT A VINYL*** Originally released in 1982, 'Thriller' became Michael Jackson's biggest selling solo album. 'Billie Jean', 'Wanna Be Startin' Something', 'Thriller' and his duet with Paul Mc Cartney 'The Girl Is Mine' all reached the top ten. 'Beat It' was his only number one hit single from the album. Produced by Quincy Jones, 'Thriller' saw Michael Jackson expanding on his Motown influenced sound for the first time by fusing soul and funk with edgy rock and pop.This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. Personnel includes: Michael Jackson (vocals, percussion); Paul Mc Cartney (vocals); Vincent Price (spoken vocals); Steve Lukather (guitar, bass); Eddie Van Halen, Dean Parks, Paul Jackson (guitar); Larry Williams (flute, saxophone); Jerry Hey (trumpet, flugelhorn); Bill Reichenbach (trombone); David Paich (piano, synthesizer); Greg Phillinganes (Fender Rhodes piano, synthesizer, programming); Steve Porcaro (synthesizer, programming); David Foster, Rod Temperton (synthesizer); Tom Bahler (Synclavier); Louis Johnson (bass); Ndugu Chancler, Jeff Porcaro (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion); Brian Banks (programming); La Toya Jackson, Julia Waters, Maxine Waters, Oren Waters, Becky Lopez, Janet Jackson (background vocals). Principally recorded at Westlake Audio, Los Angeles, California. German import reissue with LP illusion cover. The finest example of perfect disco pop, and a record that should be prescribed to musical snobs and manic depressives. The album is a true ambassador of what pop music can be. Jackson whoops and dances through a suite of unforgettable melodies that should be danced to with a smile on your face. Each track offers at least one musical hook, whether it is the beauty of 'Human Nature' (who can resist the 'dada dada da da da') or the 'whoo whoo' of 'Billie Jean'. It's all too good.
