The indie pop rock band that sings in Portuguese. The groovy beat arm in arm with the melancholy is their signature firmed in the music. In 2021 they release the album “A Semente” of what had already been planted with their first full-length “A Montra” (2019). He made his stage debut in 2016, at the emblematic Popular Alvalade, in Lisbon, and since then he has been a constant presence in the national tops and keeps with the public the faithful promise of continuing the road, even if sometimes winding, always opening.

Chuck Mangione: Finest Hour
Chuck Mangione
Erschienen bei Verve am 1. Januar 2000
Jazz • 7 Tracks • 59m 10s
1 Feels So Good (Album Version)
Throughout the 1970s, Chuck Mangione was a celebrity. His purposely lightweight music was melodic pop that was upbeat, optimistic, and sometimes uplifting. Mangione’s records were big sellers yet few of his fans from the era knew that his original goal was to be a bebopper. His father had often taken Chuck and his older brother Gap (a keyboardist) out to see jazz concerts, and Dizzy Gillespie was a family friend. While Chuck studied at the Eastman School, the two Mangiones co-led a bop quintet called the Jazz Brothers who recorded several albums for Jazzland, often with Sal Nistico on tenor. Chuck Mangione played with the big bands of Woody Herman and Maynard Ferguson (both in 1965) and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers (1965-1967). In 1968, now sticking mostly to his soft-toned flügelhorn, Mangione formed a quartet that also featured Gerry Niewood on tenor and soprano. They cut a fine set for Mercury in 1972, but otherwise Mangione’s recordings in the '70s generally used large orchestras and vocalists (including Esther Satterfield), putting the emphasis on lightweight melodies such as “Hill Where the Lord Hides,” “Land of Make Believe,” “Chase the Clouds Away.” and the huge 1977 hit (featuring guitarist Grant Geissman) “Feels So Good.” After a recorded 1978 Hollywood Bowl concert that summed up his pop years and a 1980 two-LP set that alternated pop and bop (with guest Dizzy Gillespie), Mangione gradually faded out of the music scene. In the '70s, Chuck Mangione recorded for Mercury and A&M; in the '80s he had a couple of very forgettable Columbia albums, and had not been heard from in the '90s until a 1997 comeback tour found him in good form, having a reunion with his “Feels So Good” band. The Feeling’s Back followed in 1999.

George Lam
Born in Hong Kong on October 12, 1947, George Lam is a pioneering Cantopop singer, songwriter, and actor. He developed an interest in music at a young age and began traveling abroad as a teenager, spending a number of years in both the UK and America. George Lam wrote his first songs while living in California and officially launched his career after returning to Hong Kong, where he briefly performed with the band Jade before releasing his first English language album, Lam, in 1976. His debut album in Cantonese, 各師各法, followed in 1978. Beginning with the hit singles “在水中央” and “分分鐘需要你*,*” George Lam enjoyed a particularly successful run throughout the 1980s, with 23 of his songs climbing to Number 1 on the RTHK Chinese Pop Chart. He became heavily involved in the film industry during the same decade, earning a Hong Kong Film Award nomination for Best Actor with 1982’s Boat People and winning the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Original Film Song with 1986’s Passion. He originated the sub-genre of Cantopop rap with “Ah Lam’s Diary,” which also appeared in 1986, and continued to enjoy hits throughout the 1990s. “A Man Of Determination,” the theme song for the One Upon A Time In China film series, became one of the decade’s most popular songs, as did “Choice,” a collaborative ballad that also featured his wife, Sally Yeh. George Lam remained prolific well into the twenty-first century, during which time he released albums like 2007’s 佐治地球轉 and 2015’s 佐治地球40年.

And then a blast from the past.
Still sounds amazing but so quiet I had to turn it up several level’s. This is an original 1986 CD so it doesn’t have the bad mastering of later versions.
One of the first Albums I did not have on vinyl first.

I remember having this on vinyl, cassette and then CD as a teenager. No wonder I was always poor (and nothing much has changed to this day)

I bought both Goat Girl albums at the same time and listened to the new one first. The self-titled is such a weird listen because of its lo-fi swampiness but I definitely prefer the polish of the latest.
