Are but five

When the children dug a hole in the gravel-pit, they were very surprised at what they found. 'It' was a Psammead, a sand-fairy, thousands of years old. It was a strange little thing - fat and furry, and with eyes on long stalks. It was often very cross and unfriendly, but it could give wishes - one wish a day. 'How wonderful!' the children said. But wishes are difficult things. They can get you into trouble.... OUP Oxford.. Año 2007. 1ª edición

Allegra is an unusual name. It means 'happy' in Italian, but the little girl in this story is sometimes very sad. She is only five years old, but she tells Adrian, her new friend, that she is going to die soon. How does she know ? And who is the other Allegra ? The girl in a long white nightdress, who has golden hair and big blue eyes. The girl who tomes only at night, and whose hands and face are cold, so cold.... Oxford University Press..

DEPECHE MODE - STRIPPED - CD BONG 10, (7 TRACKS), EDICION MUTE RECORDS LONDON 1991 DEPECHE MODE - STRIPPED - CD BONG 10, (7 TRACKS), EDICION MUTE RECORDS LONDON 1991 Stripped es el décimo quinto disco sencillo del grupo inglés de música electrónica Depeche Mode, el primero desprendido de su álbum Black Celebration, publicado en 7 y en 12 pulgadas sólo en Europa en 1986. La canción " But Not Tonight " fue el lado B estándar. " Stripped " y " But Not Tonight " fueron compuestas por Martin Gore. " But Not Tonight " fue incluida en la edición estadounidense de Black Celebration. Los otros lados B fueron las canciones " Breathing in Fumes " y " Black Day ". " Breathing in Fumes " es una nueva canción utilizando samples de " Stripped " y " Black Day " es una versión acústica cantada por Martin Gore, coescrita por Alan Wilder y Daniel Miller, de la canción " Black Celebration " que dio título al álbum. Una versión extendida de " But Not Tonight " se incluyó también en la edición europea en CD del álbum Black Celebration. Por su parte, la versión larga de " Stripped ", llamada Highland Mix y que fuera durante varios años la reproducida en conciertos, fue realizada por el productor Mark Ellis Flood, quien previamente se encargara de la ingeniería del sencillo "Shake the Disease" y posteriormente trabajara con Depeche Mode produciendo sus álbumes Violator y Songs of Faith and Devotion.

It was the first single from the album Black Celebration, and the band's thirteenth overall and sixth consecutive single to hit the UK Top 20, peaking at number 15. " Stripped " is well known for its innovative use of sampling. The underlying beat is a distorted and slowed-down sound of a motorcycle engine running, while the main melody begins with a car's ignition starting, and the end uses sounds of fireworks. The band's U.S. label Sire Records, however, decided to use the B-side " But Not Tonight " on the soundtrack to the movie Modern Girls and included the song on US editions of Black Celebration. As a result, the single was flipped, and released as " But Not Tonight " in the United States to help promote the movie. The band was not happy with this decision, seeing "But Not Tonight" as a useless pop track recorded in less than a day. The single did not chart. Surprisingly, despite previous criticism of the song by the band, an acoustic version of "But Not Tonight" was sometimes performed by Martin Gore on Depeche Mode’s Delta Machine Tour and is included in the 2014 album "Live in Berlin". The other two B-Sides are " Breathing in Fumes " and " Black Day ". " Breathing in Fumes " was a new song using samples from " Stripped ", mixed by the band and Thomas Stiehler. " Black Day " is an acoustic, alternate version of "Black Celebration" sung by Martin Gore, and is co-written by him, Alan Wilder, and producer Daniel Miller – the only Depeche Mode song where Miller receives a writing credit. The " Highland Mix " of " Stripped " was mixed by Mark Ellis (better known as Flood), who in the future would produce Depeche Mode's Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion records. Some editions of the Black Celebration CD include the extended remix of "But Not Tonight" along with "Black Day" and "Breathing in Fumes" as bonus tracks. The music video for "Stripped" was the last Depeche Mode video to be directed by Peter Care and was filmed outside of Hansa Studios in Berlin. The music video for "But Not Tonight" was directed by Tamra Davis and is available in multiple versions. "Stripped" was featured in the film Say Anything....  

David Chesky - Songs for a Broken World (CD, Album) (2021) (Precintado) David Chesky - Songs for a Broken World (CD, Album) (2021) (Precintado) A new large work for orchestra, choir, and soloists, David Chesky is able to capture the immeasurable difficulty that each of us have gone through this past year in his distinct compositional voice. This new album by David Chesky is a sincere statement of worries the composer feels necessary to share with the world, in which all of us live and die. Its monumental form allows us to reflect on many tragic events (such as the latest disaster of COVID-19). By entering our lives, it unavoidably demands us to define our beliefs. Chesky’s music not only concerns our preferences in aesthetics, but also demands political awareness from us (while being far away from political activism). We are confronted by phenomena we do not understand, but ultimately determine our choices - what really has, had, and still will have meaning in our lives. We have to learn separate the “important” and “unimportant” things and events. No one is obligated to go to the “barricade,” but we are simply obligated to recognize injustice in all forms and name it personally (even in silence) instead of accepting terror as something “common” and “far away from us.” Politicians, social media, opinions, commercial accusations - all of these should be seen as instruments of “terror.” If we want to remain humans with hearts and souls, we will find ourselves in tune with David Chesky’s sounds, which speak to us and awake our empathy. -Gidon Kremer (December 2020) Envíos CD Envío Ordinario: 1,5€ (envío sin caja de plástico y con responsabilidad a cargo del comprador) Envío Certificado y tarifa plana: 3,5€ Combina lotes y ahorra gastos de envío.

FREDDIE HUBBARD: AT THE NORTHSEA JAZZ FESTIVAL [ESP 1981] LPx2 FREDDIE HUBBARD: AT THE NORTHSEA JAZZ FESTIVAL [ESP 1981] LPx2 Freddie Hubbard  "At The Northsea Jazz Festival, The Hague, Holland 1980"  LPx2 (Pablo)  1981  made in Spain cat. num.  PE 12009/10 #jazz  #hard bop   First Light   One Of Another Kind   One Of A Kind   The Summer Knows   Impressions   Happiness In Now   Red Clay   Trumpeter  Freddie Hubbard 's recording career was rather aimless by 1980 but, as shown by his playing on this live date, he was still in prime form.  Hubbard  and his quintet (which consisted of tenor-saxophonist  David Schnitter, keyboardist  Billy Childs, bassist  Larry Klein  and drummer  Sinclair Lott) play extended versions of five of his compositions plus "The Summer Knows" and "Impressions." Although these renditions of "First Light" and "Red Clay" will not make listeners forget the original versions, it is gratifying to hear the trumpeter really pushing himself. His reputation had been soiled by his Columbia funk albums but this set shows that in 1980  Hubbard  had few competitors among trumpeters. It's well worth searching for.

LOU REED: ROCK AND ROLL HEART [DEU 1992] CD/RE LOU REED: ROCK AND ROLL HEART [DEU 1992] CD/RE (Arista - BMG)  1992  made in Germany cat. num.  262 271 #rock   1 I Believe In Love 2:42 2 Banging On My Drum 2:09 3 Follow The Leader 2:09 4 You Wear It So Well 4:47 5 Ladies Pay 4:17 6 Rock And Roll Heart 3:02 7 Chooser And The Chosen One 2:44 8 Senselessly Cruel 2:04 9 Claim To Fame 2:48 10 Vicious Circle 2:52 11 A Sheltered Life 2:17 12 Temporary Thing 5:12   Rock and Roll Heart  was  Lou Reed 's first album for Arista Records, and one senses that he wanted to come up with something saleable for his new sponsors. Uptempo numbers with pop hooks dominate the set, the 12 songs zip by in an efficient 38 minutes, and instead of  Reed 's trademark meditations on the dark side of life, the lyrics are (for the most part) lean bursts of verse and chorus, in which the artist sings the praises of good times in general and rock & roll in particular (then again, on "I Believe in Love,"  Reed  pledges his allegiance to both "good time music" and "the iron cross," a bit of perversity to remind us whose album this is). But if  Rock and Roll Heart  sounds like " Lou Reed  Lite," there are more than a few flashes of  Reed 's inarguable talent. His band is in fine form (especially  Marty Fogel  on sax and  Michael Fonfara  on keyboards). "Banging on My Drum" is a crunchy rocker that recalls his work with  the Velvet Underground; "A Sheltered Life" is an amusing bit of  VU  archeology (the Velvets demoed the song, but this marked its first appearance on record); and the closer, "Temporary Thing," is a bitter, haunting narrative that foreshadows  Reed 's next album, the harrowing masterpiece  Street Hassle.

OSCAR PETERSON: TRAVELLIN' ON [UK 1969] LP OSCAR PETERSON: TRAVELLIN' ON [UK 1969] LP (MPS - Polydor)  1969  made in UK cat. num.  583 772 #jazz   A1 Travellin' On 2:25 A2 Emily 10:08 A3 Quiet Nights 7:20 B1 Sax No End 5:52 B2 When Lights Are Low 10:49   This is yet another memorable concert by  the Oscar Peterson Trio  recorded in  Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer 's excellent studio. With bassist  Sam Jones  and drummer  Bobby Durham,  Peterson  tears into the old gospel favorite "Travelin' On" with a passion second to none. Following it is a beautiful treatment of  Johnny Mandel 's timeless ballad "Emily," which runs for over ten minutes but never loses its impact.  Durham  sets the pace with his soft percussion to set up  Antonio Carlos Jobim 's "Corcovado" (later known as "Quiet Nights"), though  Peterson  devours the song whole with a breathtaking display of his formidable technique.  Francy Boland 's "Sax No End" was a relatively new composition, having been recorded for the first time just the previous year by the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band. But one can almost hear a larger ensemble by listening to  Peterson 's virtuoso interpretation in an uptempo setting, assisted by  Jones ' agile bass and  Durham 's steady percussion.  Peterson  cools off his audience with an extended exploration of  Benny Carter 's "When Lights Are Low," though his fresh approach makes it seem like a brand new composition. Like other releases in  Oscar Peterson 's Exclusively for My Friends series,  Travelin' On  is warmly recommended.

The murder of a media moghul in his country mansion appears to be the result of him disturbing a gang of would-be thieves. The robbers are swiftly caught, but when they are unexpectedly moved to a different prison they escape. Back in Edinburgh, a young solicitor reveals to the press that one of the subjects had left a letter with her some time before the break-in which proves his innocence. Jack Parlabane, journo-extraordinaire, is intrigued, but when he approaches the lawyer he discovers someone else is trying to get near her - someone with evil intent, political connections of the highest o

You are walking through the streets of London. It is getting dark and you want to get home quickly. You enter a narrow side-street. Everything is quiet, but as you pass the door of a large, windowless building, you hear a key turning in the lock. A man comes out and looks at you. You have never seen him before, but you realize immediately that he hates you. You are shocked to discover, also, that you hate him. Who is this man that everybody hates? And why is he coming out of the laboratory of the very respectable Dr Jekyll?. OUP Oxford.. Año 2007. 1ª edición
