Juke Jules SUBS 11th Jun 2016		CD Album The Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir - Ritual (1994)	Review The Ritual, or rituals, of the title are the Christian rituals of Christmas and St. Lazar's Day as observed in Bulgaria. The women sing in a vigorous full-throated style that is found in folksong from around the region, giving the impression that they are some rustic village choir. Indeed they are recruited as folk singers from around the country and are trained to the point that they define an art-form derived from folk traditions. Both Philip Koutev and Georgi Boyadjiev are variously credited with forming the Choir in the 1950s, and Swiss ethnomusicologist Marcel Cellier was instrumental in bringing them to the attention of Western Europe. Houbava Milka is a good example of the music on this album [YouTube Video] 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Juke Jules SUBS 12th Sep 2015		CD Album Joan Osborne - Relish (1995)	Review Each track would be worth buying this album for. Osborne deals in particular with the darker side, the vices and failures of mankind, though it may take many listens for her intentions to come through. Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman had emerged from Hooters - see for example the comments on their single All You Zombies I don't believe Mark Egan has ever bettered his work on this album; his easy comfort with everything that he wants of his instrument shines through on every track, and his ability to generate exquisite tension makes St. Teresa a bass-player's tour de force. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
