2009 release, the fourth album from the Polish Death Metal masters. Praise The Beast contains 11 dark and sinister tracks of blistering speed and crushing brutality! This well-crafted opus features Inferno (Behemoth) on drums, as well as members of Damnation, Yattering, and Witchmaster. The heavy, pummeling sound unwraps a thunderstorm of raging guitars, mangling bass, blasting drums and wicked growls, spewing forth utter darkness. Deathgasm.
The quality of blandness: no sooner do you identify it than it begins to appear at every turn. Blandness, by definition, pays little heed to the borders our various disciplines like to draw. As the embodiment of neutrality, the bland lies at the point of origin of all things possible and so links them.—from In Praise of BlandnessAlready translated into six languages, Francois Jullien`s In Praise of Blandness has become a classic. Appearing for the first time in English, this groundbreaking work of philosophy, anthropology, aesthetics, and sinology is certain to stir readers to think and experience what may at first seem impossible: the richness of a bland sound, a bland meaning, a bland painting, a bland poem. In presenting the value of blandness through as many concrete examples and original texts as possible, Jullien allows the undifferentiated foundation of all things—blandness itself—to appear. After completing this book, readers will reevaluate those familiar Western lines of thought where blandness is associated with a lack—the undesirable absence of particular, defining qualities.Jullien traces the elusive appearance and crucial value of blandness from its beginnings in the Daoist and Confucian traditions to its integration into literary and visual aesthetics in the late-medieval period and beyond. Gradually developing into a positive quality in Chinese aesthetic and ethical traditions, the bland comprises the harmonious and unnameable union of all potential values, embodying a reality whose very essence is change and providing an infinite opening into the breadth of human expression and taste.More than just a cultural history, In Praise of Blandness invites those both familiar and unfamiliar with Chinese culture to explore the resonances of the bland in literary, philosophical, and religious texts and to witness how all currents of Chinese thought—Confucianism
Most gospel music fans know the smash hit ‘Praise Is What I Do’ – the title track from Shekinah Glory Ministries 2002 Gold-selling album – much better than they do the name of it’s writer, William Murphy. But that is about to change as the featured vocalist in Shekinah Glory steps out front. With the release of Murphy’s The Sound – Live in Atlanta, the world can hear this amazing voice and these deeply moving songs. Murphy has placed 3 singles in the Gospel Top 5 in the past 3 years and this 13 track CD presents him at his live best. Performers: Devaughn Murphy – Vocals (Background); Nicole Binion – Vocals (Background); Tina Keil – Vocals (Background); Chip Dixson – Keyboards; Darrell Freeman – Bass; Jeremy Haynes – Drums; Latrice Pace – Vocals; Rodney Edge – Keyboards
For those who think Tom Jones is nothing but kitsch, camp, and sex appeal, this rootsy, poignant, and highly spiritual album will come as a shock. On the other hand, for those who have kept up with his recent activity, Praise & Blame seemed inevitable with Sir Tom’s appearance in Martin Scorsese’s The Blues being the big clue. In the PBS documentary, Jones displayed a shockingly deep knowledge and deeper love of the American songbook, just as he does here. Perfectly chosen numbers from John Lee Hooker (“Burning Hell”), Rosetta Tharpe (“Strange Things”), and Jessie Mae Hemphill (“Lord Help”) support the album’s rite-of-passage theme as the now-70-year-old Jones rages and regrets throughout this selection of hallowed material. Producer Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ray LaMontagne) is right in tune with Jones, helming gutsy band performances that are either a barroom punch in the gut or a dustier version of the Daniel Lanois sound. The best example of the latter is the incredibly bold opener “What Good Am I?”, a Dylan song performed with surprising restraint in what is arguably the singer’s most poignant performance to date. All of the ballads are naked, raw, and haunting in the most Scott Walker-like way imaginable, and while the guitar-driven blues rave-ups offer relief, it takes repeated listens to smooth out the drastic changes between the two styles. Of course, rich albums often demand return visits to reap all the rewards, but Praise & Blame goes beyond, and could be considered a life partner that yields new truths — often painful truths — as the listener grows older and wiser. The second half of the set is filled with adaptations from Jones and Johns, and if you don’t believe that it stands up to the first half, it’s just because you haven’t heard it. It does because these men were well above inspired, they were possessed, and Praise & Blame winds up an undeniably excellent album that you’re either ready for or you’re not. Much had been made of the leaked pre-release memo from Island’s vice-president, which called this masterpiece a “sick joke.” Just another example that there are tin ears at the top of the music business, but more than that, the statement is proof that high-rise living can suck the life out of you and that the meek — of which Jones is now officially a member — shall win in the end. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
Single-handedly putting the U.K. reggae scene on the map for the first time since the early-’90s golden period of Maxi Priest, Bitty McLean, and General Levy, North West London toaster Jacob Lee Williams, aka Gappy Ranks, slightly risks alienating his underground fan base with his second album, Thanks & Praise. While his critically acclaimed debut Put the Stereo On was a throwback to the Studio One sounds of the ’60s/’70s, his first release through his own Hot Coffee Music imprint is a much more contemporary affair, inspired by the love of dancehall and hip-hop he formed while in Harlesden crew Suncycle. “Tun Up” is a ragga-fused floor-filling collaboration with hotshot Jamaican producer Russian about living life to the max, “Stinkin’ Rich” and “English Money” fuse hypnotic industrial synths and crunk beats with bling-obsessed lyrics more suited to the macho bravado of gangster rap, and “The Road” begins with Balearic trance riffs before merging into an anthemic slice of Akon-esque R&B. While his forays into more modern territory are perhaps inevitable if he’s to progress his previously retro sound, Ranks occasionally pushes the boat out a bit too far, thanks to the unnecessary use of Auto-Tune that ruins the authentic riddims of the Jazzwad-produced title track and laid-back lovers rock of “Sweet Love.” Indeed, Thanks & Praise is much more convincing when it goes back to basics, as on the lilting “One Day at a Time,” an appeal for forgiveness that samples Bob Marley & the Wailers’ “Small Axe”; the one-drop reggae of “Longtime,” which references everything from Maradona to Irish potatoes; and the simple acoustic lullaby-esque closer, “Better Must Come.” Thanks & Praise’s slightly jarring mishmash of old and new suggests Ranks hasn’t quite figured out whether he wants to embrace the mainstream fully or to maintain his well-received revivalist reputation, but it’s a solid effort that indicates he’s fully capable of achieving whichever path he eventually chooses. ~ Jon O’Brien, Rovi Performers: D-Way – Vocals (Background); Tamika Moncrieffe – Vocals (Background); Valerie Vibes – Vocals (Background); Andrae Carter – Guitar; Ranoy Gordon – Guitar; Veron “Koxx” Dinnall – Bass
Limited edition two CD version includes a bonus CD that contains an instrumental version of the album. 2010 release, the third album from the British Indie Rock band. Although the majority of the songs on In Praise Of More were recorded by guitarist and songwriter Mark Peters, with the assistance of Dave Potter, new keyboardist Ulrich was on hand to offer advice and point out ways to make what were essentially home recordings sound as stately and elegant as they do. ”Music has much more impact when it is more immediate,” explains Mark. ”When it is reworked time after time, it becomes more of a stylistic statement than an expression of how you feel.” Performers: Daniel Land – Vocals (Background); Jayn Hanna – Vocals (Background); Judith Beck – Vocals (Background); Ant Read – Drums; Craig Sergeant – Percussion; Mark Peters – Vocals (Background), Bass, Vocals, Guitar; Matthew Linley – Drums, Percussion; Simon Phipps – Vocals; Ulrich Schnauss – Vocals (Background), Synthesizer
Playing 16 instruments between them, Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor — once again playing as the Chicago Underground Duo — embark on an adventurous, multi-textured series of sonic explorations that exist between the worlds of experimental music — jazz, free and structured improvisation, and conceptual music. The sheer, dreamy melodic flow of “Falling Awake,” with Mazurek’s cornet and Taylor’s vibes hovering around one another as the lyric flows effortlessly amid random percussion sounds like a lullaby. Immediately after, however, once the dream state has been established, they enter more difficult territory with the title cut for over 12 minutes. Here, percussion, piano, drumming, trumpet smatterings, and all manner of musical effluvium are employed for the sake of establishing silence between spaces. But it doesn’t prepare the listener for the glorious “The Glass House,” which is a percussion journey utilizing mbira, to vibes, gongs, celeste, prepared vibes, and more. For nine minutes it carries the listener in a magical world where tonalities glide, swoop and slip inside one another. Here, the rhythm has its own melody; it is a soft place to lay one’s body down and be carried inside its beauty. The grainy trumpet bleat that introduces “Cities Without Citadels” is followed by some serious tom toms which make for a jarring awakening, but not an unpleasurable one. It too, seeks to carry one hypnotically into its core and let you sit there between the percussion and brass to find the song in it — and there is a song, as blues, R&B, and free jazz meander, then collide, in Mazurek’s trumpet. The other collision occurs between the electronically driven noise of “Pangea,” and the mysterious layers of percussion that drive “Funeral of Dreams.” Ultimately, this is a recording of textures and dimensions, one where the elasticity of sound is tested, bent, turned inside out and reveled in. Shadows of other music are evoked but never fully engaged. In Praise of Shadows is a provocative and rewarding listening experience that will take any listener brave and patient enough to give it a fair shake on a musical journey unlike any other. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Rob Mazurek – Prepared Piano, Ring Modulator, Celeste, Harpsichord, Sound Effects, Cornet, Piano, Organ, Keyboards; Chad Taylor – Mbiri, Prepared Vibraphone, Maracas Mbira, Gong, Cymbals, Vibraphone, Drums, Percussion
Not very many reggae albums acknowledge Alan Lomax in the credits. But then, African Head Charge (a band with a constantly changing membership led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah) doesn’t really make typical reggae albums. Although the one-drop beat (provided on this album by Lincoln “Style” Scott) influences everything and the basslines have a typical tidal undertow, the stuff that Noah layers on top of the mix has more to do with ethnomusicology than the dancehall. The song titles say it all: “Cattle Herders Chant,” a field recording of call-and-response chanting overlaid with Nyahbinghi drums and highlife guitar; “My God,” eerie, minor-key African-American church singing supported by a chugging reggae bassline, bare-bones drumming, and the sound of running water; “Deer Spirit Song,” an unidentifiable indigenous song in 9/8 meter with a gently driving rockers beat and occasional sound effects thrown in. This is an exceptionally beautiful album, but in a deeply strange way. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi Performers: Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah – Percussion; Bubblers – Piano; Crocodile – Bass; Junior Moses – Bass; Martin Frederix – Bass; Skip McDonald – Keyboards, Guitar; Sonny Akpan – Percussion
The second full-length (if a 25-minute CD counts) by arty Seattle-based punk-grindcore quartet Trap Them is noisier, heavier, and more dissonant than their debut. Producer Kurt Ballou (better known as the guitarist for Converge) continues to shape their sound into a bass-heavy, live-in-your-face assault. There’s less of a D-beat punk element to their sound now, and a fuller, even more distorted edge of Swedish death metal creeping in; when they slow down (which isn’t often), they get pretty close to Entombed territory. This is particularly true on “Mission Convincers,” the seven-minute death march that closes the album. Meanwhile, “Gutterbomb Heaven on the Grid” showcases the band’s arty side, with distant melodies, static, and martial drumming underpinning the vocalist’s harsh, almost Jaz Coleman-like chanting. Seizures in Barren Praise is a ferocious, impressive demonstration of all of Trap Them’s many virtues, none of which is easy on the ears, exactly, but all of which are worth experiencing. ~ Phil Freeman, Rovi
If you are involved in leading praise and worship in a non-westernized society, you may be facing the question of whether you should modify your worship style to fit your culture. Most of the styles of leading worship are heavily influenced by the church in the developed nations, and if you are in an emerging nation it is important that you do not reproduce what you hear on worship CDs, but start leading worship within your own culture.
Leading Praise and Worship is About the Lord
Contrary to what you might believe, leading in a developing nation is not about westernizing your church! Admittedly, there are many wonderful worship songs that have been beautifully produced by the Western Church, and it is tempting to play and sing the songs exactly the same way that you hear them in recordings, but I do not believe that this is what should be done.
Leading church worship is about pointing people towards the Lord, and I believe that the Lord wants to meet people where they are at and in their own culture to impact their lives. If we continue to use music as an excuse to introduce Western culture, and we are conveying to the people that the Lord commanded us to worship in an exclusive way, the way of the developed nations. If you are praise and worship leading, this is your opportunity to show people that God is relevant to them in their culture.
Leading Praise and Worship is About the People
As I write this article I’m sitting in a room in northeast India, where these beautiful Indian people are singing songs that I recognize but in their own language. Some songs are in English, but many of them are in a language that the people understand best, and this is part of leading praise and worship in your own culture. This style of music and worship, however, would not be out of place in any American, English or Australian church, and this way I feel that those worship leading are misled.
One of the great difficulties facing the early and medieval church was that much of the original writings were in Latin, a language which the common people did not speak! However wonderful a worship song is, if the people have no understanding of the meaning behind it is practically useless! If you are praise and worship leading and you want to make it relevant to your culture, one of the first steps is to translate the words into a language that your people will understand.
Leading Praise and Worship is About Expressing Your Culture
However, worship leading in your own culture needs to go beyond simply the words. Most cultures have a specific way of expressing themselves musically, and I believe it brings great joy to the heart of God when he hears people worshiping using their own cultural instruments in their own cultural style. For some strange reason, those worship seem to always want to make the sound more Western, rather than embracing the music and style of their own culture. Perhaps there is a mystique to Western culture, but when you are leading praise and worship you have an incredible opportunity to blend the Western sound with your own cultural instruments and style!
So if you are worship leading in your church, and if you live in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia, India and South America, please try and express your own culture in your worship. This will bring much joy to the heart of God, and also to your people and your country. Western music is attractive, especially to young people, I would suggest the two blamed on the styles of your own culture with Western music to create a unique expression of worship the Lord.
If you are leading praise and worship, you are in the perfect position to blend words and music styles to create a form of worship unique to your culture.
