Home Again, the debut album by Michael Kiwanuka, is a curious debut for the winner of the BBC Sound of 2012 poll. It may be available as a download but it desperately wants to be a 33rpm vinyl
record with a faded sleeve that first entered the second-hand record market around 1973, rather than a 21st-century artefact.
It begins gorgeously, with little flurries of flute on the minor-key "Tell Me a Tale". The producer is Paul Butler, whose day band, the Bees, specialise in this sort of expertly turned period
shading. Throughout, Butler is revealed as a key factor in making Kiwanuka something greater than just the next soul man on the UK's retro-pop conveyor belt, something akin to a hipper James
Morrison. Unfortunately, the early promise of this lush, jazzy slice of yearning isn't quite kept by the rest of the album.
Raised in north London by Ugandan parents, the young Kiwanuka tussled with his identity as a guitar-loving black kid. Until, that is, he discovered first Jimi Hendrix and then Otis Redding and
eventually found his spiritual home: a vintage Venn overlap in which soul artists, folkies and the late 60s, early 70s singer-songwriters conjoin harmoniously. Embraced by Communion Records, home
of the Mumfords, Kiwanuka was able to quit his session-musician day job (reluctantly abetting pop-grime hotshots such as Labrinth and Chipmunk) and strum more meaningfully. He is now signed to
Polydor.
Having spent so long as a fish out of water, Kiwanuka knows a thing or two about longing ("I'm Getting Ready," avers one song) and about the pleasures of finally coming home. The title track
starts out like prime Later With Jools Holland fodder, the sort of "quality" nodding, strumming guff that has afflicted the nation since David Gray. Then something unexpected happens: Butler
double-tracks Kiwanuka's vocal, adds a shuffling drum beat and suddenly we're in Bon Iver territory – hazy and magical.
It doesn't last. Charm exudes from songs such as "Bones", with its brushed drums, doo-wop call and response, and churchy expressions of love. But there are not quite enough of these moments on
Home Again, a record that settles into a nicely crafted, twinkly retro rut without really grabbing you by anything more vital than your lapels; tweedy, bespoke, second-hand. "I Won't Lie" has all
the trappings of a thoughtful gem in the vein of Marvin Gaye. But trappings are all they are – Butler's rumbling drums and ebb-and-flow arrangement expose Kiwanuka's contribution: his voice never
catches, his vulnerability is never underscored; he merely sings his words nicely.
Like his co-star of 2012, the Brits-anointed Emeli Sandé, Kiwanuka is undoubtedly gifted and, like her, seems preternaturally middle-aged, an old soul in a 25-year-old body whose need to appear
mature at all costs is troubling. Home Again is in no way an unpleasant record, but its unity of sound, tempo, era and purpose is less Aristotelian than it is just a little ho-hum. Unlike the
work of Kiwanuka's forebears – Bill Withers, Terry Callier et al – you don't come away from Home Again changed by its insights. Instead, you have just filled the air with some nice sounds.

From Wikipedia :
This is the easiest (note that this is relative to the other 2) Streets of Rage soundtrack to find, having been released in the United States. The tracks on this soundtrack are identical to the
Japanese CD soundtrack known as "Bare Knuckle II". Composed and played by Yuzo Koshiro (with a few by Motohiro Kawashima), this is said to be one of his greatest and it shows the power of the
8-bit Mega Drive/Genesis soundchip. The music is described by Yuzo as "hard-core techno". The CD contains 20 tracks and was produced by him and Kyoji Kato. Interestingly some fans have noticed
that the song "Under Logic" sounds like The Shamen's mid 90s hit Move Any Mountain and The S.O.R Super Mix is similar to Enigma's Sadeness. Another interesting fact about S.O.R. Super Mix is that
it is composed from parts of previous Streets of Rage songs: The Street of Rage, You Became The Bad Guy (being the core of the song), and The Last Soul. The Arranged version of You Became The Bad
Guy also has parts of choir similar to Sadeness. The track lists are as follows:

:
Bercée par la musique gospel, le jazz et la soul, en Californie où elle a grandi, Margeaux découvre en France de nouvelles sources d’inspiration. L’approche poétique de l’écriture, la puissance
évocatrice des textes et la sensibilité des auteurs influencent alors son parcours artistique. L’interprète américaine entame des collaborations comme chanteuse-auteur-compositeur avec des
artistes français aussi variés que les Marathonians, Funkaroma, Les Pétroleuses (producteur de Nouvelle Vague) et Bang Bang, avant de former le groupe Sodex et sortir deux singles, devenus
ensuite des hits clubs. Son titre “ Move me ” sera repris sur des compilations en France et le monde entier, ainsi que dans la bande de son du film “ De battre mon cœur s’est arrêté ”. “ Come on
boy, come on girl ” sera, lui, utilisé pour une campagne publicitaire mondiale Peugeot.
A la recherche d’une musique à la fois plus intimiste et spontanée, Margeaux redécouvre le jazz et commence à se produire régulièrement sur la scène parisienne et dans les festivals comme
Enghien-les-Bains Jazz Festival, Sunset-Sunside Jazz Club ou le Petit Journal Montparnasse. Elle s’entoure de musiciens talentueux comme les pianistes Olivier Hutman, Alain Jean-Marie et Manuel
Rocheman, les contrebassistes Blaise Chevallier et Michel Rosciglione, les batteurs Olivier Robin et Thierry Chauvet, le saxophoniste David Sauzay et le guitariste Olivier Louvel.
En 2008, elle propose un premier album de jazz vocal, Love for Sale, qui revisite les grands classiques de jazz tels que Love for sale, Lady is a tramp et Fly me to the moon, mais aussi nous
offre deux de ses compositions aux couleurs de la soul américaine et de la bossa nova. La Javanaise sera son petit clin d’œil à la France.
Pour son nouvel album Rain, Margeaux nous livre 9 compositions originales et trois reprises oscillant entre jazz, pop, soul et musique latine. Le pianiste Olivier Hutman, qui a déjà réalisé des
albums pour les chanteuses Anne Ducros, Stephy Haïk, Clotilde Rullaud et Denise King, prend en charge la direction artistique, les arrangements et de la réalisation de l’album. Avec ce deuxième
opus Margeaux Lampley nous invite à un voyage à la croisée des cultures.
Born in New York, Margeaux Lampley grew up in California, raised on gospel, jazz and soul music. After receiving a law degree from Columbia University in New York, she left the US and an
international career in law to live the artist’s life in Paris, studying music with an emphasis on jazz at the CIM music school and the Studio des Variétés.
Very quickly, she was invited to collaborate as a singer-songwriter for various French groups including the Marathonians (“Come on girl, come on boy”, signed by Warner and used for a worldwide
Peugeot publicity campaign), Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague producer), Bang Bang and Funkaroma before forming the the group Sodex and releasing two singles, which became club hits. Her song “Move
Me”, was featured on compilations in France and throughout various parts of the world, as well as on the soundtrack of the film “De battre mon coeur s’est arrêté”.
Margeaux Lampley gravitated towards Jazz naturally. With her warm, intimate style, Margeaux is a regular on the Paris jazz scene, Sunset-Sunside Jazz Club, Petit Journal Montparnasse, and
European festivals such as Enghien-les-bains Jazz Festival and is making a name for herself throughout France and Europe. She is accompanied by talented musicians such as pianists Olivier Hutman,
Alain Jean-Marie and Manuel Rocheman, double bass players Blaise Chevallier, Michel Rosciglione and Philippe Brassoud, drummers Thierry Chauvet, Olivier Robin and Andy Barron, saxophonist David
Sauzay and guitarist Olivier Louvel. In 2008, she proposed a first jazz album Love for Sale, which revisits the great jazz standards.
For her new album Rain, Margeaux delivers 9 original compositions and 3 covers, oscillating between jazz, pop, soul and latin music. Pianist Olivier Hutman, who has already produced albums for
singers Anne Ducros, Stephy Haïk, Clotilde Rullaud and Denise King, takes charge of the musical direction, the arrangements and the production of the album. With this second opus, Margeaux
Lampley invites us on a cultural voyage.

Back in the 1930s, Boyd Lee Dunlop taught himself to play music on a broken piano left out on the streets of Buffalo, N.Y. Only half the keys worked.
He also taught his little brother Frank to play the drums while they were growing up. Frankie Dunlop went on to record with Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus, among other jazz greats. Boyd Lee
Dunlop went to work in the steel mills and rail yards of Buffalo, occasionally playing piano at local clubs.
Another chance encounter with a busted piano has now led Boyd Lee Dunlop to record and release his first album, at the age of 85. Brendon Bannon, a documentary photographer by trade, is the
album's producer.
"We met when I went into the nursing home where Boyd's living, in Buffalo, to talk to the doctors there about doing a photo project. Boyd was sitting down in the waiting area also, and we struck
up a conversation really quickly," Bannon says. "He told me about his piano playing and invited me down to the cafeteria to listen to him play. I looked at the piano, and there were keys broken
off of it ... It didn't look well. But Boyd was wrestling some beautiful sounds out of it."
Here, Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon speaks with Bannon and Dunlop about Dunlop's debut album, Boyd's Blues.
