Download Free Sonny J Disastro Rarest
Whether it's his real name or not, Sonnington James III doesn't exactly sound like a moniker synonymous with the breakbeat dance scene, but recording under the guise of Sonny J, the Liverpool DJ's debut album, Disastro, is a melting pot of kitsch pop, classic TV samples, and psychedelic soul that could well be the closest thing listeners get to the long-awaited second Avalanches album. Inspired by his fascination with tracking down forgotten vinyl records in various charity shops, its 12 tracks certainly adhere to the mantra of the more obscure, the better. The country-gospel-led 'I'm So Heavy' is based on the 'I'm in Your Band' skit from Neil Hamburger's 1992 prank phone call album, the Bentley Rhythm Ace-esque title track samples '70s Italian singer Mino Reitano's 'Nella Mia Mente la Tempesta,' and the blissfully chilled-out closing track 'Sonnrise' borrows the melody from New York '60s baroque pop outfit the Free Design's 'I Like the Sunrise.' But even on the more familiar source material, Sonny J cleverly interweaves vintage vocals with a quirky modern production to create a sound that feels both recognizable and original at the same time. Donna Hightower's Northern soul standard 'If You Hold My Hand' is surrounded by squelchy synths and big beats on a Fatboy Slim-style makeover, Shirley Bassey's powerhouse vocals on 'Puh-leeze! Mister Brown' are inventively chopped up on the Latino-inspired 'Doing the Tango,' and 'Cabaret Short Circuit' is a surprisingly melancholic reworking of '60s icon Jack Jones' 'How Much I Love You.'
Best of all is the brilliantly feel-good 'Can't Stop Moving,' which takes bits from the Stooges Beautiful Zion Choir's 'Brand New,' the Hues Corporation's 'Miracle Maker,' and '70s talent show Opportunity Knocks and turns them into a glorious slice of euphoric disco-pop reminiscent of a long-lost Jackson 5 classic. But with several entirely self-penned tracks, Disastro is more than just a ragbag of recycled oddities. 'Sorrow' is a gorgeously introspective acoustic folk ballad, featuring vocals from This Is the Kit's Kate Stables, which could have been lifted from Cat Power's last album, while the robotic vocals, backwards guitar solos, and techno bleeps on 'No-Fi' constitute a self-assured attempt at ambient trip-hop. Possibly the only album to contain rapping French schoolchildren, avant-garde U.S. Punk comedy, and a Welsh singing dame, Disastro is a joy of undiscovered and intriguing musical treasures from start to finish.

I received a message from Sladjan Jovanovic concerning the where I stated that I hadn't found any version of Volare in Serbian.It was my mistake as there is actually such a recording on the website mentioned.A reworking in Serbian of Volare is track 9 - of the Ginko album featured. It's titled Between The Sky And The Bottom. This version has the same arrangement as the Italian version (track 14).you can listen to all tracks from the Ginko album and also find an English translation of the lyrics.Thanks to Sladjan Jovanovic, your help is much appreciated! O.K., I'm a bit late, but belated best wishes go to Conny Froboess who celebrated her 65th birthday last month.Conny Froboess was a German teen idol in the late 50s and early 60's and scored hitsingles and hitmovies in several European countries.Only eight years old she scored her first hit with Pack die Badehose ein, a chirpy song about packing up your swimsuit for a day out at the beach. The song, written by her father, was covered in many languages in every beach loving country.Hits like Teenager Melodie, Kleine Lucienne and Midi Midinette followed but it's of course the Eurovision entry Zwei kleine Italiener that remains her biggest evergreen.Conny Froboess recorded the song in German, Dutch (pictured), English and Italian.
A rumoured French version has not yet emerged.The song only ended 6th at the contest but it became a big hit in Europe. I blame Conny for my love affair with Eurovision as I was exposed to the song while happily frolicking in the womb. It was a #1 hit in my country when I was born.Zwei kleine Italiener is written by Christian Bruhn (Music) and Georg Buschor (lyrics). I don't think it happened before: I just received a new CD and while enjoying the virgin listening out of nowhere an intriguing Eurocover pops up.The CD in question is Disastro by Sonny J. Which I bought because I totally love Handsfree (If You Hold My Hand).Handsfree is a sampladelic reworking of Donna Hightower's.
If You Hold My Hand.I didn't suspect anything reading the tracklist, but track 4, Cabaret Short Circuit is a reworking of Jack Jones' fantastic live version of Oh How Much I Love You, which is Dio Come Ti Amo, only one of my favorite Eurovision songs and a honorable member of the Gallery Of Most Covered Eurovision Songs. And it's written by Mr. Volare: Domenico Modugno.Sonny J. Speeds up Jack Jones's version, adds the necessary crackle and umph and makes a nice use of Jones talking bits.Of course all you Captain Stubing fans know Jack Jones of the Theme From Love Boat!-Oh how Much I love You by handsome Jack was originally released in 1967 as a b-side of Don't Give Our Love Away (Kapp K880) and on his LP Our Song (Kapp 3531).The live version used on Cabaret Short Circuit is from the 1970 LP Jack Jones In Person, Live At The Sands (RCA SF 8149, 1970, & Laserlight CD reissue, 1993)Sonny J.' S excellent Disastro album is available at a record shop near you or your PC.

I think Donna Hightower had a go at the Spanish preselection for Eurovision in the 70's, but my mind is blank about that just now.
