10cc – Deceptive Bends (1977) [Japanese SHM-SACD 2014] [SACD / Mercury – UIGY-9567]

Title: 10cc – Deceptive Bends (1977) [Japanese SHM-SACD 2014]
Genre: Rock
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

After Kevin Godley and Lol Creme left 10cc in 1976, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman continued as a duo with drummer Paul Burgess. Their 1977 album Deceptive Bends defied expectations, delivering a strong collection of lush, witty pop songs. While less eccentric than earlier 10cc works, it compensates with catchy, well-crafted tracks. The hit “Good Morning Judge” blends a funky pop sound with a humorous tale of a career criminal. “The Things We Do for Love” is a Beatles-inspired hit showcasing 10cc’s vocal harmony mastery. “People in Love,” a straightforward ballad with lush strings, became a modest chart success. Non-hit tracks like “Marriage Bureau Rendezvous” and “You’ve Got a Cold” offer catchy hooks and clever arrangements. “Marriage Bureau Rendezvous” satirizes dating services, while “You’ve Got a Cold” pairs misery with a lively melody. The closing medley “Feel the Benefit” falters due to its length and vague lyrics but is redeemed by a catchy mock-Spanish section. Deceptive Bends is 10cc’s finest post-Godley and Creme album, ideal for fans of Sheet Music or The Original Soundtrack.

Ennio Morricone – The Mission (1986) [2003 Remaster] [SACD / Virgin – SACDV 2402]

adminMay 11, 2025 61 Views

Title: Ennio Morricone – The Mission (1986) [2003 Remaster]
Genre: Soundtrack
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Ennio Morricone’s Academy Award-nominated score captures the conflict between 18th-century Jesuit missionaries trying to convert the native Indians, and the slavers who want to destroy them. In keeping with the serious subject matter and epic scope of Roland Joffé’s film, the score is by turns grave, lyrical, and tense. Ever inventive, Morricone mixes liturgical chorales, native drumming, and Spanish-influenced guitars, often in the very same track, to capture the drama of the culture clash. His trademark lyricism also comes through, notably in the beautiful themes for “Gabriel’s Oboe” and “The Mission.” Not as over-the-top as his well-known spaghetti Western scores, The Mission shows Morricone at his dramatic best.

adminMay 11, 2025 103 Views

Title: (e.s.t.) Esbjorn Svensson Trio – Viaticum (2005)
Genre: Jazz
Format: MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Esbjörn Svensson’s trio (E.S.T.) blends acoustic and electric sounds, creating a distinctive, refined jazz style. Their stable lineup, with Svensson on piano, Dan Berglund on bass, and Magnus Öström on drums, ensures cohesive interplay. Subtle amplified keyboard shades enhance Svensson’s piano, setting E.S.T. apart from louder jazz combos. Viaticum showcases their meditative, surrealistic sound, rooted in a spiritual aesthetic. Tracks like “Tide of Trepidation” echo ECM’s mysterious style with electronic undertones. “In the Tail of Her Eye” conveys heartbreak, while “What Though the Way May Be Long” explores poetic destiny. “The Unstable Table & the Infamous Fable” evokes cinematic tension, and “Eighty Eight Days in My Veins” drives with a 6/8 shuffle. “The Well Wisher” dances lightly in a tango-like style, reminiscent of Keith Jarrett. “A Picture of Doris Travelling with Boris” paints a haunting, nocturnal soundscape. Viaticum appeals to ECM fans, fantasy enthusiasts, and younger listeners, marking a progressive step for E.S.T.
