    Reviewer Kevin Lynch of the The Capital Times/Wisconsin State Journal wrote of this CD: 'By the time Camplin sang 'I've Seen Trouble,' I could feel my heart aching right through my shirt. You pay a small price to hear this man's voice. I once characterized it as the voice of a fallen angel. After hearing Camplin's long-awaited CD of 12 originals, I know more of what I meant. His voice is a glimpse of a private, forlorn hell. But Camplin's shining baritone keeps his spirit more sweet than bitter. He knows that these qualities can get stuck in neutral, so he invariably drives the music forward with his own rhythm guitar and the crackling jump starts of lead guitarist Jason ''Doet'' Klagstad, a contrapuntal momentum that sustains you through the album's predominant quietude (also featured are bassist Steve Kleiber and string player Randy Sabien). That energy also helps boost Camplin's lyrics, which often flash pure poetry: 'You are a danger disguised as a breath of spring/ And after all we're bound to fall and doing it with no shame.' Camplin carries the weight of too many losses, a bit like this past year's Green Bay Packers. But he's a wandering spirit, beholden to nobody's rules. And yet he sings in one song, 'I Still Need Someone'. The songs rummage through the human condition, turning up archetypes like 'Old Man', or loved ones like 'The Daughter', with lyrics like 'raised on whiskey and flowers, born with hope and with shame, conceived by chance and deception'. There are still traces of Bob Dylan -- and even Lou Reed -- in Camplin's tender toughness. Check out the brilliantly rolling cadences of 'Long and Desperate Day'. It's also gratifying to hear him 'speaking to your shadow' on 'January Guitar', reprised from his very first album, 'January', from 1971. Sit back with a glass of wine on a wintry night with someone close and slowly drink in this music.' ***************** BIO Born after doctor recommends that Clara have another baby to give her something to do...

    Vladimir Skanavi & Victor Ginsburg (Piano) - Jana Ivanilova (Sopran) - Musica Viva Orchestra // As cellist Alexander Rudin playfully announces in his introductory paragraph in the booklet notes, those miniatures which may sound familiar were not originally composed for the cello "and conversely those less familiar were!" He has compiled a disc of pieces that reflect youthful enthusiasms and in particular his predilection for transcriptions.

    Microwave Massacre stars legendary stand-up comedian and actor Jackie Vernon as Donald, a disgruntled construction worker whose wife's predilection for haute cuisine drives him to cannibalism. Donald unwittingly stumbles upon a solution to his two major problems in his life - his nagging wife and his lack of tasty meals - when, one night, he bludgeons his better half to death with a pepper grinder in a drunken rage. Thinking on his feet, Donald dismembers the body and sets about microwaving the remains, which turn out to be rather delicious. Trouble is, now he's got a taste for human flesh that needs satisfying... Eschewing all notions of good taste, Wayne Berwick's Microwave Massacre is a deliciously depraved exercise in political incorrectness that has gone on to gain a cult following thanks to a characteristically deadpan performance from lead Vernon, who delivers such choice lines as "I'm so hungry I could eat a whore". Vegetarians need not apply!

    György Vashegyi (Dir) // The conductor Gyorgy Vashegyi and his ensembles, the Orfeo Orchestra and the Purcell Choir, are fluent in various fields of baroque and classical music, with a particular predilection for French baroque opera. However, one of their favorite lines of work is Lutheran sacred music, and a good example of this is this beautiful work, "Wer ist der, so von Edom kommt", a period pasticcio with pieces by various composers.
