Before they sweated their image down to beards, babes and hot rods, ZZ Top were a down 'n' dirty blues-rock trio with a bonafide hot guitar player in Billy Gibbons. On this 14-track offering, Warner goes back through the back ZZ catalog and cobbles together an interesting collection of the Texas trio's bluesier sides that originally appeared on their earliest albums. Highlights include "Brown Sugar," "A Fool for Your Stockings," "My Head's in Mississippi," "Apologies to Pearly" and Gibbons' storming stringwork on "Bar-B-Q."

The debut release from the I.E. label (which is connected with Polygram) is an unusual multi-artist tribute to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Some of his tunes are made funky (but in a melodic and tasteful way), while others become quiet (but still passionate) ballads. The treatments are all jazz-oriented, and there is plenty of solo space for the likes of guitarist Lee Ritenour (in one of his finest jazz efforts), pianists Dave Grusin and Alan Pasqua, altoist Eric Marienthal, bassist Christian McBride, and tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts. Plus, there are guest spots for Herbie Hancock (an excellent acoustic piano solo on "Stone Flower"), the sopranos of Art Porter (on "Dindi") and Steve Tavaglione, the Yellowjackets (who team up with Ritenour on "Mojave"), singer El DeBarge ("Dindi") and the vocal duo of Al Jarreau and Oleta Adams ("Waters of March" and a lightweight rendition of "The Girl from Ipanema"). Nearly every song holds one's interest, the melodies are celebrated, and the fresh interpretations contain more than their share of surprises. ~ Scott Yanow

Here you will always find the latest mixes and mash-ups complete with high resolution covers, cue files and reviews (thanks to FauxReveur for them) for some of the mixes. MDB began performing as a Radio DJ in 1995, but the music has interested him since he was 6. MDB's child toys were tapes and decks. He was impressed by artists such Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Kraftwerk. Also Ben Liebrand influenced him deeply. In 1991 he discovered electronic styles like trance, rave and techno. ( L.A. Style - James Brown Is Dead; Guru Josh - Infinity) He is also immensely passionate about ambient-chill music. At this time he focused on the soften part of the trance and his new project "Beautiful Voices" has been a spectacular succes. MDB about himself: "I do not want to insist on me, but on the sets themselves. I don't intend to compete with any other DJs. I am not interested on being on the 20,000th place in any official DJ list so please: DON'T VOTE ME ON ANY DJ LIST! Instead please offer your appreciation to all the artists found in my sets. Support them by buying their products and voting for them on those DJ lists"
