Aerosmith – Just Push Play (2001) [SACD / Columbia – CS 62088]

adminMay 13, 2025 600 Views

Title: Aerosmith – Just Push Play (2001)
Genre: Hard Rock
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

After Nine Lives underperformed, Aerosmith took action to revitalize their sound. Steve Tyler and Joe Perry took control of production, working with Mark Hudson and Marti Frederiksen, nicknamed the Boneyard Boys. This isn’t a full band effort, but Hudson and Frederiksen’s influence helps make Just Push Play tighter and savvier than anything since Pump. The album lacks enough memorable songs and includes awkward moments, like the title track’s “f*ckin’ A” chorus and the oddly named “Trip Hoppin’.” Tracks like “Avant Garden” feel out of touch, reflecting the band’s refusal to act their age. Despite flaws, Just Push Play is a sleek, classicist hard rock record. It’s Aerosmith’s best work in nearly a decade, especially on catchy tracks like “Jaded.” The album doesn’t match the comebacks of Permanent Vacation or Pump. The dated sexy robot cover art contrasts with the relatively fresh music. Just Push Play shows Aerosmith regaining form, making its missteps forgivable.

Aerosmith – O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (2002) [SACD / Columbia – C2S 86700]

adminMay 13, 2025 549 Views

Title: Aerosmith – O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (2002)
Genre: Hard Rock
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits is a double-CD greatest hits album by Aerosmith, covering their career up to 2002. It features their biggest hits in chronological order, including both Columbia and Geffen eras. The album includes two new songs, “Girls of Summer” and “Lay it Down.” As the sixth Aerosmith hits collection, it’s the first to combine both label periods. Hits like “Mama Kin,” “Jaded,” and both versions of “Walk This Way” are included. Some tracks, such as “Draw the Line” and “Pink,” are presented in remixed forms that enhance their sound. “Girls of Summer” is a strong addition, though “Lay it Down” is less impressive. While nearly all major hits are present, fan favorites like “Lord of the Thighs” and “Chip Away the Stone” are absent. The second disc focuses heavily on the less-acclaimed Get a Grip era onward, which weakens its impact. Despite being comprehensive for casual fans, it doesn’t fully capture Aerosmith’s essence like Rocks or Pump.

Title: Adriel Gomez-Mansur – Recital (2006)
Genre: Classical
Format: MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Adriel Gomez-Mansur’s debut album, recorded at age 17, showcases remarkable musical maturity. The Argentinean pianist avoids flashy repertoire, opting for introspective pieces like Liszt’s Consolation No. 3 and Schumann’s Traumerei. His selections highlight serene and reflective works, defying expectations for a young artist. Gomez-Mansur’s performances reveal depth and sensitivity beyond his years. The album includes virtuosic pieces like Rachmaninov’s Op. 32 Preludes and Scriabin etudes, played with technical finesse. His focus remains on the composers’ intentions, not self-display. The result is a genuine, musical journey, not a showcase of technique. This debut establishes Gomez-Mansur as an astonishingly talented young pianist.

Adiemus – Songs Of Sanctuary (1995) [Reissue 2003] [SACD / Venture – SACDVE 925]

adminMay 12, 2025 487 Views

Title: Adiemus – Songs Of Sanctuary (1995) [Reissue 2003]
Genre: Classical, Ambient
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Adiemus is a collaboration between composer Karl Jenkins, arranger Mike Ratledge, and vocalist Miriam Stockley. Both Jenkins and Ratledge are former Soft Machine members, with Ratledge handling programmed percussion. The project features the London Philharmonic and additional vocals by Mary Carewe. The album aims to create modern music using classical forms like rondo and ternary, avoiding traditional songs. Vocals consist of vowel and consonant sounds, treating the voice as an instrument without lyrics. Stockley and Carewe’s layered harmonies, alongside the orchestra, produce a massive, choral-like sound. The music blends African-tribal and Celtic-style melodies within classical structures. The result is a hybrid reminiscent of Enya and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Adiemus delivers a powerful, universal soundscape driven by vocal and orchestral layers. It stands out for its innovative fusion of classical forms and global musical influences.
