Product Description

Second album from Jennifer Parkin and the follow-up to her succesful debut "Debris".

Customer Reviews:

One of my most played cds.......2006-08-09

I am new to Ayria's music. I first heard her music through the internet and was hooked. It is a rarity in the EBM genre to see a woman take front and center stage which is what Jennifer Parkin does here with Ayria. "Flicker" is the second album from Ayria. Her music is a diverse mix of EBM, electro, synthpop, and electro-clash. "Flicker" kicks off with the highly energetic "It's Been Fun". "Counterblow" slows down a bit but not too much. It is a dark, electro track. Very cool track. The stand out track here on the cd is the irresistably catchy "My Revenge On the World". It would be hard not to fall in love with this song. Jennifer successfully combines aggressive electro beats with addictive pop hooks and creates one of the catchiest songs ever heard in electronic music. I find myself constantly singing along to the song every time I listen to it. I think Jennifer's strength is the uptempo songs. I didn't think the slower tracks were all that hot. They weren't terrible but they lack the energy that made me love "It's Been Fun" and "My Revenge On the World". Neverthless "Flicker" is a lot of fun to listen to. It certainly made me a fan out of Ayria.

Better Than "Debris"!.......2006-05-16

I loved Ayria's first album, "Debris", but "Flicker" shows tremendous growth and confidence in Jennifer Parkin's song-writing, composition and performance. The sound is less 80's pop and much more anthemic and at times militaristic (ie. "My Revenge On The World" and "Infiltrating My Way Through The System"). The lyrics are also more personal, yet still fun and intelligent without being angst-ridden nor pretentious. I can't wait for her next album.

It's been fun.......2006-03-26

I gotta love MySpace. That site has been exposing me to a lot of great artists/bands I would not have heard of had I not signed up with the social networking site. Another great artist I have discovered is Ayria (aka Jennifer Parkin, formerly of Epsilon Minus). "Flicker" is the second full length cd by Ayria. It is a diverse mix of EBM, industrial, electroclash, and trip hop. "It's Been Fun" kicks off the cd with its bouncy electro beats. "Counterblow" is a killer follow up. The throbbing beats and Jennifer's seductive vocals. The entire cd is infectiously catchy. It is hard not to have any of these songs stuck in your head. I especially love the irresistable "My Revenge On the World". It is a fun, catchy song to dance to. The best songs on the cd are the ones that I can dance to like "It's Been Fun" and "My Revenge On the World" but I also dug the slower, downtempo tracks like "Pink Dress" and "Be Me". "Flicker" is a fun album overall. It isn't angst ridden like a lot of industrial cds or as emotional as most EBM cds. "Flicker" somewhere falls inbetween the two genres and it works for Jennifer Parkins. I immensely enjoyed "Flicker".

Bringing together the original cuts of classic tracks such as "Skylarking" and Dawn Penn's instantly recognizable "No, No, No," Studio One Rockers showcases not only the talents of influential artists that were to become synonymous with reggae but also the styles, sounds, and, above all, rhythms that were to dominate Kingston studios into the 1970s and beyond. There are a number of rock-steady classics (hence the name), with tracks like Hammond-Organ maestro Jackie Mittoo's "Hot Milk" and the legendary Marcia Griffiths's "Feel Like Jumping" highlighting the then-dramatic change in style away from the faster beats of ska towards heavy, bass-led tracks with a much slower tempo. But Studio One Rockers is not restricted to this. The semi-instrumental track "Phoenix City" pounds along at a breakneck pace with trumpets belting and, along with "Greedy G," shows the importance a faster beat, a funky take, or a big-band sound also had within the Studio One fold. There are tracks from DJs like Lone Ranger with his "Badder Dan Dem" vocal rhythms and dancehall sounds. Roots artists include one of its biggest stars, Horace Andy, whose then unique falsetto was later emulated by many looking for a similar pop success. Then a preteen, reggae star Freddy McGregor also appears on "Bobby Babylon." Freddy, like many of the artists here, was to produce some of his best work under the watchful eye of Studio One's equally famous producer--Clement "Coxsone" Dodd. In many ways a tribute to Coxsone's production skills and rhythms that continue to be rediscovered and recut, Studio One Rockers is essential listening for anyone with even a passing interest in Jamaican music. --Caroline Butler

Album Description

classic reggae.......2005-02-19

This copilation of reggae from the original label in jamaica is one of the best selections you will ever hear on one disc. With or without spliff you will enjoy the trip. Just sit back, listen with a cool drink in you hand and envision a warm beach sunset view. Remember to turn up the bass and be transported. You won't be disappointed. If you can convince others, than better, it is for all to enjoy.

a real find.......2003-09-04

MMMM. After I had thought that I had acquired all the good studio one stuff, I took a chance on this and was duly rewarded.

Some familiar stuff (to me, at least), such as Johnny Osbourne, the Skatalites, but it mixes in nicely.

For those who aren't familiar, the best way I can think of to describe Johnny Osbourne's sound is Marvin Gaye singing reggae. That same silky smooth voice and enormous range, backed by a soulful organ and floating tempo. This track is a good example of his sound and a true classic.

The Skatellites use a lot of horns and are largely instrumental. But classic. More of a choogling, ska-type beat (ie faster) than Osbourne. The Phoenix City song on this album has got to be my favorite Skatalites song - and that's really saying something, because they have made a lot of classic tracks.

Similar for Horace Andy - probably my new favorite Horace Andy song. This track does not have much of his trademark screeching and instead has him singing much more like an early Jimmy Cliff style (circa the harder they come).

Dawn Penn's track is smooth, sultry and a godsend. I played this at a bar and most of the patrons asked who it was. Almost recalls something by the Cowboy Junkies or Mazzy Star in terms of the vocal style. Just beautiful.

Other high points are the Freddie MacGregor & Lennie Hibbert tracks. All in all, the only track I'm not completely sold on is the crabwalking track by Prince Jazzbo, simply because its just rapping over the Horace Andy track and the cuts aren't all that crisp. But a lot of other people would probably like it.

The Cover Says It All.......2002-01-27

So, I'm in the record store a while back picking through the same ol' stuff. I was getting frustrated because I felt like all I ever do is look at the same thing over and over without new results. Since I practically live for music, you can imagine how frustrating it is to come to a dead end with music experiences. Especially knowing there is more out there than you've been exposed to so far.

On my honeymoon to the islands I became fairly familiar with reggae. Mind you, I'm not an expert by any means. Every cab driver there listened to reggae. I couldn't believe how nice the cabs were and how much money they put into their stereos. Anyway, they all listened to reggae. It was my first real exposure to the music, but it really gave me something to associate it with. Since that time I have been a huge fan.

This collection of artists is a great one. The first time I ever heard it, it took me back to the islands immediately. It was everything I was looking for. I needed it, too. I had hit a dead end with the music I was listening to. I had been begging for a new genre to experience. Reggae seemed perfect.

Needless to say, as I was in the store, a friend of mine recommended this album and proceeded to give me some of the history behind it. As I listened, I briefly perused the back cover to see how many songs and artists were on the compilation. Enough to keep me busy for a while. I have since searched for many of the artists on this album with great results. I really owe a lot to this album. I really owe a lot to reggae. It showed me a new side to music when I really needed it.

The album starts off with "Real Rock" by Soul Dimension. This song has one of the thickest reggae sounds I've heard. Immediately you know that this album is going to take a lot of stress away. Next is the wonderful song by Marcia Griffiths titled "Feeling Like Jumping." There is also an appearance by the great Horace Andy. I have been familiar with some of his dub work. "Truth and Rights" by Johnny Osborne is one of my favorites on the album. Probably my favorite. For a moment you might think it's The Fugees.

If you are into reggae or are looking for something that might get you into it, I would recommed this compilation. It has some of the greatest songs. Put this on after school or work on Friday afternoon and enjoy life. You could put it on anytime and get the same feeling. Friday afternoon just happens to be my favorite time of the week.

Skankable !.......2001-07-22

This is a collection of storming classic's cut for Clement " Coxsone " Dodd's legendary Studio One record label ( the most important label in Jamaica's history ) . The Ska , Rocksteady , organ driven instrumentals , Roots Reggae , and DJ-ing that are represented on this disc will have you skanking around your living room floor , such is the dancability of all the tracks .
Any record that contains seminal tracks like Marcia Griffiths - " Feel Like Jumping " , Johnny Osbourne's - " Truth And Rights " , Michigan and Smiley's - " Eye Of Danger " , Dawn Penn's classic - " No , No , No " , and Cedric Brooks majestic - " Ethiopia " , has to be a must buy cd . It also comes with a nice booklet that has an interview with the great man himself , Mr C.S. Dodd .
I'd also recommend the Dynamite series of reggae compilations released on the Soul Jazz label , as they are also essential .

Amazon.com

Like your favorite gourmet restaurant, Paul Oakenfold always mixes the familiar with pleasant new twists. On Ibiza, Oakenfold is every inch the vintage progressive house-trance DJ, packing both discs with springboard dynamics, variety, and spice. The first track, "Waiting," is a John Creamer remix of a Nat Monday composition, and it gets the pulse jogging with over 10 minutes of invigorating trance. Depeche Mode chips in with a Danny Tenaglia mix of "I Feel Loved" (different versions of which can be found on the CD single), and Oakenfold contributes his own lush mix of U2's "Beautiful Day." The collection is brought steaming home by Insigma's house-trance driver "Open Your Eyes" and PPK's dramatic but house-fun "ResuRection (Space Club Mix)." Things do get a bit wonky midway through the record's first half, as Radiohead's "Idioteque" is too twee and tart for this mix's overall tone. It takes the freeway-crunching "Transit" by Arena to bring Ibiza back into comfortable contextual territory. Nobody manages to pack clubs worldwide like Oakenfold, and when he's really trying, nobody can pack a club into two discs and a plastic box like Oakenfold, either. On Ibiza, the man put some elbow grease into his mixing board. --Steffan Chirazi

Album Description

Hot from scoring the hit Hollywood film 'Swordfish', world-class progressive trance DJ, Paul Oakenfold returns with what is set to be his finest double CD mix set to date. Inspired by the hedonistic yet spiritual vitality of the Mediterranean paradise island known as Ibiza, Oakenfold transports you to ecstatic new heights with choice selections and his signature ultra-smooth mixing.

Customer Reviews:

Any album that promotes the word Ibiza = cheese..........2005-02-04

Even though Oakey is making a strong comeback with his latest album "Creamfields" (highly recommended), this album, along with Bunkka, typifies why this extrodinary DJ has received a very bad rap of late. Don't get me wrong, I love Oakenfold, but his meteoric success has the unfortunate effect of selling out artistry for commercialism. Since 2001 or so, Oakey has become more of a franchise than a DJ, selling pop remixes, soundtracks to Playstation games, and hobknobing with the likes of Justin Timberlake and U2. I can understand why many of his fans abhor him for trying to make a buck at the expense of quality.

Ibiza is substandard Oakey, with cheesey songs and average technique. It sometimes makes me wonder, if an amatuer DJ would have cut this set, would it be called "brilliant"? However, since this ablum is from Mr. O, he has to present us with a gem everytime. Anything less is cheese. Oakenfold and Tiger Woods suffer the same malaise of extreme public expectation.

I also want to take note and ask why are record labels slapping "Ibiza" on everything that is related to dance?? A once-unknown island getaway for E-trippers and Euro-candyravers is now the self-appointed Mecca of dance music?? Just because an album has Ibiza on it does NOT guarantee a masterpiece. In fact, I steer clear from any album that mentions any reference to Ibiza. Otherwise, I am in for a guaranteed chedder-fest.

I am so glad that Oakey has reinvented himself and is returning to his roots and craftmanship. Although Bunkka, Ibiza, Great Wall, and Swordfish all represent a watered-down, commercial doppleganger of Oakenfold, these albums nevertheless are an important transition period in the history of the world's most influential DJ of all-time.

If you are following the chronology of Oakenfold, do yourself a favor, get everything from 1994-2001, especially the Cream sets, ending with Travelling (excellent CD BTW), skip everything after that, and start over with Creamfields. Your ears will respect you in the morning.

I saw Oakey live recently at a Tsunami benefit. Da brotha still got it!

another strong mix album.......2004-05-18

Oakenfold has been called the world's greatest DJ. Now this mix album may not be as great as Another World of Swordfish but its hard to beat those mixes. I also may be one of the few that really liked how he through some Radiohead into the mix. I think the song just fits for some reason. His mixing is untouchable, as well as his song selection. I highly recommend this album to further your Oakenfold mix album collection. Another strong mix that shows you why he stands above the other DJs. Some of you may not like his song selection but that is what makes Oakenfold himself. What is an Oakenfold mix without some wierdness thrown in? Anyways, get it and enjoy it. Enough said.

this is my fevrite cd.......2003-12-25

i dont know how all of you people can not like this cd this cd is gread it has a lot of great songs so to anyone that doesint have it should get it.

Where is Paul & what have you done with him??.......2003-07-22

OUCH. Was he trying to sell out, go for a pop chart hit?

Boring. Really bad singing & sampling. Annoyingly simple techno that starts with nothing and goes nowhere. I am heavily dissapointed. Disc 2 is slightly better, but I found I could not make it through most tracks. Paul Oakenfold has some great CDs, but this is not one of them.

Hmm....I don't know.......2003-07-18

I liked the CD and as mentioned, it grows on you. There were only two songs that I really can call my favorites: CD1;track 8;Maas Attacks and CD2:track 11;ResuRection (space club mix). Maas Attacks is really unique and very spooky. And ResuRection (space club mix) really does make you feel like you are in space. But that is just me, you might like the rest more!
Gotta love P. Oakenfold though, the songs may not be his usual, but he does a great job DJing.

Featuring rare and exclusive tracks from some of the biggest and quirkiest acts in the world, the album includes unreleased, rarities, b-sides and exclusives.

We've all been there, mashed up, messed up or whatever takes your fancy and some crazy-arsed DJ plays some off the wall track and everyone goes crazy. This release has been put together in the vain of those people who enjoy the rare, collectable or mad DJ sets of Erol Alkan, Soulwax and the like.

Featuring the likes of the Tiga doing Nelly, Oasis doing The Who, new indie upstarts Ambulance doing So Solid Crew and many more. So check your Record Collectors, see a man about a tab or get back to the bar, the next hour or so is going to be messy.

The hype about this album does nothing at all to cover the sheer brilliance of its contents. It kicks off with a bizarre country stlye take on lust for life and encompases favourites from almost every decade from the 60s onwards. From tracks made (almost) famous in the charts - see track 8 by Tiga and one by Kelly Osbourne - to the barely recognisable such as the version of "Yellow Submarine" by the brilliant Roots Manuva, this album brings surprise after surprise. And not a boring re-hash among them, every track is refreshingly different from the original! A must-buy for everyone.

This is one of my favorite MBM releases. From what I've heard, Jack Dangers remastered it, so the sound quality is a little better than it was on previous releases although I personally haven't been able to detect too much of a difference from the previous CD version. I think it's a little more bass-rich.

Customer Reviews:

Simply Awesome.......2005-04-06

what a CD, simply blew me off my feet. Disc 2 keeps u spellbound..The price is worth just for this disc itself. i just keep listening to this Disc all the time in the car..Disc 3 is pretty good too.

worth it for the after hours cd.......2004-10-23

Disc 1 is really for house fans only; it's not a particularly intersting mix, with Hernan Cattaneo's "Deep Funk" and Timo Maas' "Ubik - The Dance" the only real standouts.

Disc 2 is packed full of distinctive Perfecto trance anthems, that are fast paced and melodic. Some (eg. "Bullet in the Gun") are perhaps getting a bit stale and overused nowadays, but other classics like "Resurrection" and the Tiesto mix of "Flesh" work well and keep the mix nice and fun.

Disc 3 is a real gem!! It's a seamlessly blended, smooth package of mellow feelgood chills and warm after hours beats. Track selection on this disc is superb; with Jan Johnson's "Silent" Words and Liquid State's dreamy "Falling" sitting neatly alongside a gritty mix of "The Word" and the ubiquitous "Adagio for Strings". Definitely the highlight of the set, it always seems to find its way back into my CD player for a spin.

Not too bad but it ain't Oakenfold.......2003-04-23

I was under the impression the CD set is mixed by Paul Oakenfold when I bought it. It turns out it was done by someone else, even the mastering!!! I don't really know what is his involvement in this. The tracks are ok, so is the mixing. Sorry guys, I have to say it is NOT a must have item.

perfecto does it again.......2002-08-15

This is one one those cd sets you'd have to get if your a big oakenfold fan. In my own words cd1 is more old school oakenfold from his days at Ibiza in 98-99. cd2 comes off a little bit newer 12 inches from around the day of 99-00, and cd3 has a more newer sound of oakey's more recent tunes from present day. over all a very good 3 cd set from perfecto a must get for Oakey headz!

Not what I expected.......2007-01-09

If you're looking for the original Studio 54, look some place else. This album is from the movie and a few of the songs are just remakes of the originals.

Ost-Studio 54 import 2/Cd

I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys disco
music. All the tracks on both CD's are great. Most
of the tracks are album length. Overall, a nice Cd
although, the import price is a little steep.But the
music makes up for it all.

these guys rock.......2005-11-17

i first heard these guys when my friend bought cargo on vinyl. I used to listen to it all the time and it simply blew me away. As I am a live kit drummer and conga player who plays along side Dj''s, especially dub and breaks, I gained a massive amount of inspiration from the simplicity and fatness of the surfers sound in this album. Its dirty yet smooth and creamy. How I would love to play live drums and percussion with such an act as these guys......ROCK ON SURFERS!!!!!!

A Fine Musical Expierience\Experement.......2003-04-14

I read that this was considered "experimental", so I didn't really know what to expect and the bands title didn't help much either. I can say that having bought and listened Transit ans Cargo that Sofa Surfers are in a class by themselves. These tunes are mainly intramentals, and ther're solid and tightly composed. There is the influence of reggae,ska,and dance hall also and this gives the music and interesting hook it might other wise lack. There is no sloppiness either in messing the two styles together.

Another great release from the Klein Records label.......2001-06-24

On the Klein Records site, it says that Sofa Surfers are a "multimedia collective [that specializes] in experimental beats mixed with heavy dub and freaky jazz references." These guys can be grouped into the musical spectrum of the new European dub movement, which has Kruder & Dorfmeister's smooth jazz-sophisticate sound on one end and Pole's ultra-minimal machine dub at the other extreme.

Landing somewhere in between on this, their second full-length release, they explore atmospheric soundscapes on tracks like "Container" and "Guns & Bombs & Knives", dark jazz-funk on "I Asked For Water" and "If It Were Not For You" while toying with a more traditional dub style on "The Low Rider" and "Long Bone". Mainly instrumental, but nice reggae-style vocals on "Beans & Rice" and "If It Were Not For You".

Comparisons to Smith & Mighty or Massive Attack would not be unwarranted, although these guys are definitely more experimental.

Oh, and there's LOTS of bass...

Harsh yet chilled.......2001-02-10

I picked up Cargo on an experimental whim, having never heard of Sofa Surfers, and intrigued by the cover photo. It suggested cold techno-like music, which in some ways is true.

On first listening I was fairly ambivalent, the CD begins sounding very harsh and disjointed, but mellows out further in, with dubby vocals and chilled bass sounds. There is still that cold mechanical edge to all the tracks, softened and contrasted with the limited vocals and relaxing strings (which as a techno fan is a pleasing blend).

It grew on me, and I would recommend it to anyone that likes Kruder and Dorfmeister, or maybe Plastikman. They all share a similar atmosphere even if the style is different.

::::: Delightful ::::::.......2001-02-09

Sofa Surfers provide the perfect soothing music for a summer evening, sitting on my balcony, whatching the waves in the ocean, with a cold margarita in my hands... (wish it wasn't only a dream... that's anyway what i was feeling when i heared this record). Its so calm and beutiful you can simply feel the nature sings. They make great fluid and soft music i simply repeated hearing again and again
