 Freaking great February 19, 2006

This is an amazing collection of live studio music. The variety of songs and artists is wonderful, it will be hard to wear this out with such different styles of music on this cd. This station and KGSR out of Austin, Tx, do some of the best (if not the best) live compilation cd's that I know of. The bare bones version of Coldplay's Yellow is just amazingly soulful....the Dido contribution is a real surprise too, these are just two of the highlights, but the whole thing is so very good...buy, listen, and enjoy.

Radio station in-house recordings can be hit or miss. The Mountain and others have some really great productions. I wish I had passed on this one. The selections are poor with no production quality.
Fabulous live (unplugged) performances from the best artists October 14, 2002

This album (the second in the "Sounds Eclectic" series) compiles some of the best works from one of the most eclectic radio shows there is: Morning Becomes Eclectic, which airs from Santa Monica's station KCRW (also catch the streamed version of their programs at KCRW.org). It's hard to pick one of the tracks above others: all in all, the album provides an excellent sample of some of today's best acts. However, I do have some personal favorites:
-The version of "Yellow" performed on piano, by Coldplay's Chris Martin;
-REM's beautiful rendition of their hit from their latest album, "I've Been High;"
-A plunge into the work of one of Mexico's (and Latin America's) best rock acts, Julieta Venegas, performing "Casa Abandonada;"
-"Fever," a track that brings to mind Stillwater's "Fever Dog," an awesome road track;
-"Jesus on a Greyhound," one of my favorite discoveries from this album, performed by Shelby Lynne; and
-Norah Jones' "Feeling the Same Way," wrapping up the selection made by the show's DJ, Nic Harcourt.Get a copy of this album and you will be able to sample the best of today's musical works.
