Product Description
The third single to be lifted from Shihad's "return to form" album LOVE IS THE NEW HATE is Shot In The Head. Offering a slight change in form after the tough, raw and angry singles that were Alive and All The Young Fascists, Shot In The Head is still an up tempo track, while at the same time it is also shows off a slightly softer side to Shihad with more than enough feeling and melody

4 out of 5 stars I am on a string and you can lead me anywhere.......2007-06-28

Shivaree is what more pop should sound like -- an embittered torch singer who secretly dreams of experimental electrofolk. This odd trio debuted with "I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump," whose title gives you a hint about what their eerie fusion ballads and alt-rock sound like.

It opens on a deliciously sick note with "Cannibal King," which is basically some wobbling keyboard, and Ambrosia Parsley singing, "The cannibal king with the big nose ring/Fell in love with a sweet young maid/And every night by the pale moonlight/This is what you'll hear him say..." Well, that's not very sick, but Ambrosia makes a loud yummy sound at the end.

The actual music starts with "Bossa Nova," a little alt-countryish song peppered with samples and clashes of synth. And, of course, a girl's incisive breakup with her guy ("I'm never talking to you again/I'll go join the marines/And then I will peacefully sail away with some safe magazines!"). Then we get the deliciously jagged electropop of "Daring Lousy Guy."

From there on, Shivaree experiments with variations of the fusion music: the electronica-riddled piano songs, jazzy little ballads, mournful alt-rocky laments, funky tunes about "a back stabbing Hollywood pimp," and the exquisitely soulful "Goodnight Moon." But things mellow out somewhat in the last trio of songs, which include a cynically romantic ballad, a wistful acoustic melody, and finally the "Arrivederci."

Shivaree have grown and changed over the years, but their debut album is still a pretty solid listen -- they take your basic folky-rocky-countryish melodies, and weave in some electropop and jazz. And they've got some truly wicked, incisive songwriting, as if the title didn't tip you off.

The band manages soft and poppy songs with equal alacrity: solid riffs, great drumming, and some gentle interweaving of piano melodies and acoustic guitar. And of course, lots and lots of synth -- blippy, funky, and shimmering soft canopies of shivering sound. Danny McGough isn't quite perfect, though -- Shivaree has a tendency to cram synthy tangles into any quieter spots between vocals.

But Parsley takes center stage, with the voice and attitude of a world-weary torch singer -- throaty and hostile, with a jaded view of romance and the world. She sings of free spirits, abusive boyfriends ("Your throat is going to be exploded/and I'm still being shy!"), fear of the dark, and nasty entertainment bosses. "Something's under the bed/Now it's out in the hedge/There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge/And I hear something scratching through the wall..."

Shivaree started off remarkably strong in their debut album "I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump," which lives up to its name -- bitter, beautiful, and wickedly funny.

3 out of 5 stars Goodnight Moon.......2006-05-14

Love Ambrosia Parsley's singing voice. Haunting in some ways, smooth, soothing... It seems, though, about the only winner is tune #7, Goodnight Moon, on this CD. This won't stop me from buying something else by this group, or by Ambrosia, should she venture out on her own.

Was it worth buying this CD? For me, yes. Absolutely. Can't get enough of Goodnight Moon; also, this seems to be the type of album one has to play a few times to truly appreciate the music.

4 out of 5 stars Shivaree throws one heck of a party!.......2006-01-29

I liked this CD - it's out of the rut. These aren't people playing to whatever the fickleness of commercialism dictates for the minute, these are folks playing what they want. Hence the music is a bit quirky with the opening an old standard. Overall, I found the CD quite haunting- lots of shivers running up and down my spine. It's also well done- you won't be disappointed if you give it a more serious listen.

On the downside- well, I found some tracks stronger than others- I'd characterize this CD as a bit uneven. But that's a small price to pay for something that you're not going to hear on commercial radio.

4 out of 5 stars It's all Good.......2005-10-19

If you loved "Goodnight Moon" you'll like the rest of the album. Although the hit single is the shining light on the CD, the remainder of the songs are just as cool and stay true to the Shivaree style.

5 out of 5 stars Alice in Dr. Seus-land.......2005-09-02

I Oughtta starts off with the extreamly short Cannibal King, a 46 second ditty that highlights pretty much everything important about Shivaree: a macabre subject, a comic undertone, unexpected music and outstanding vocals. Once past the short intro piece, I Oughtta dives full on into the band's eccentric goodness.
Goodnight Moon may be the band's only really famous song, and it's the only thing on the CD that comes close to being 'pop'-y. The rest range from millitary-style exit marches (Arlington Girl) to obessive-compulsive love ballads (Oh No). Of special note are the excellent Bossa Nova and the altogether much too short Arrivederci and Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday in particular is an increadibly tranquil bit remnicent of campfire circles.
Ambrosia Pierce is worthy of the praise sung to her name, her breathy, husky-sweet vocals are clear and well matched to the music, carrying a wide range of emotion and nuance. While not the most dynamic or talented singer on the market, she carries herself well and plays to her strengths, making for music as smart as it is beautiful.
Overall, I Oughtta a strange and wonderful cross between fantasy and nightmare, elegant and poised, with a beautiful edge of maddness. Excellent.

Album Details

Digitally Remastered Double Anthology of the Pop and Soundtrack Composer from the 50's and 60's. Perhaps his Best Counterpart of Today Would Be John Williams. A Film Maker Could Always Rely on Mancini to Deliver a Composition that Hit the Mark for a Film and Conveyed Exactly What was Required and More. He also Filled the Role of an American Mantovani, Recording 'muzak' Versions of Popular Hits. He was Handsome, Personable, but Most of All, Well Respected for his Craft.

3 out of 5 stars not enough Galway.......2003-10-02

There are only four songs with James Galway. The way this recording is presented is misleading and buyers should be aware that this is NOT a joint effort between these two great artists.. I was totally disappointed. I think Henry Mancini is wonderful but was expecting to hear a collaboration. So if you're looking for flute music this isn't it. However it's a great collecton of Henry Mancini's work.

5 out of 5 stars Too Good to Last.......2000-03-03

I heard this on PBS. Galway and Mancini may be two of the most talented musicians of our century. Galway for his complete mastery of the flute and Mancini for his ability to arrange , produce and in this instance direct the orchestra while Galway performs. They do several duets of a comical nature as well. This is important because it is one of Mancini's last efforts prior to his unfortunate passing.
