Abraham's Children - The Set List BNO -
62306 The newest release by Abraham's Children, this one is HOT!!!
This cd is a collection of all the songs the band has been performing
to rave reviews in their most recent 2006 RED & BLACK tour.
Carefully chosen to reflect the band's journey from Bubblegum
pop to Classic Rock, the list of songs includes their all-time
favorite hits Gypsy, Thank You, Goodbye Farewell, Goddess Of
Nature, as well as the band's newer pop/rock material. With a
whopping total of 17 songs in all and a special bonus track of
the romantic ballad, Sempre, this one is a steal. AC kicks out
some high energy with songs like I Do, Maybe Tomorrow and Burning
Love. Other tracks like "Passion & Innocence" reflect
a slice of the times and life of lead AC singer and talented
songwriter Jimi Bertucci. (Some sharp musicianship can be heard
from band members, Jimi Bertucci on bass, Doug Platt on guitar,
Mike Van Steinburg on drums, and Will Hare on keyboards.) NEW |

Jimi B Jimi B - BNO-9069
This album was previously released
on A&M Records. When Jimi started the production of this
album he made sure he had some of the best players on the session.
He recruited Prakash John on bass who is well known for that
famous bass line on Take A Walk On The Wild Side with Lou Reed.
He recorded for many great artists and spent many years as the
bass player for Alice Cooper. Today Prakash has his own band
called The Lincolns. Mike Sloski is perhaps the hottest studio
and live drummers working today. He worked with BB Gabor for
many years. Rob Guseve on keyboards just listen to Wickless Dynamite
and we need say no more. Peter Follett on guitar check out All
American Boy for a classic rock n roll lead. Other guests include
Jody Colero on keys, Kevin Bell guitar, Paul Massey on that great
trumpet line, Cathy Young backing vocals. Engineered by George
Semkiw and Steve Vaughan, asst. engineer Paul Massey. Recorded
at Masters Workshop, Toronto Canada. |

Abraham's Children - 2ND Coming BNO- EP5224 In 2004 the hit
making band Abraham's Children decided to reunite and do what
they do best ROCK. Although some of the band members were new
the classic sounds that the group was known for was as audible
as if it were yesterday. The tour took the band to many cities
across the US and Canada. The band was in the studio recording
when the tour was sprung on them. They felt that it would be
good for many of their fans to hear what the group was up to
so 2ND Coming was released. This ep is full of super pop songs
that include Golden Bells, In Our Battle, If No One Is Listening
to name a few. Definitly a must to have. |

Jimi B -
Best Of Jimi B
- BNO-1020
This is a fun cd full of experiments
and songs that have never been released. When we spoke to Jimi
he said this was a great project to let his hair down. Some funny
interviews and comments about the songs. " There are some
cuts that were live in the studio, when I say live I mean no
overdubs just basic bed tracks." Some of the songs were
recorded at Cottingham Studios a funky place. The engineer was
Tom Atom an awesome set of ears. There are a few familiar cuts
on this cd and the fans should find it entertaining. Call My
Number nice sax solo, It's Good It's Funky But It's White this
song is the B side and instrumental. When Angel recorded the
song they had lyrics on the A side. Winning Side is a great song
you can still hear the scratches that were left on purpose to
retain it's original format....Jimi said it definitely is not
the best of. Well a little best of. |

Abraham's Children - Time - BNO 3001 This is the only album that AC would release. This
classic piece of Canadiana musical art is still as fresh today
as it was when it was originally released. It is the ultimate
bubble gum trophy. The album put out three hits "Goodbye
Farewell" "Gypsy" and "Thank You" all
these songs charted well and a couple of them went to number
one in many major markets. BNO has remastered this with the help
of Garwood Wallace in Toronto, Canada. The sound is awesome.
This remains to be a big seller and anyone that ever had the
album should definitely get this classic cd. Big strings tight
harmonies and some incredible playing. Although the band was
considered a commercial success, songs like "Workin For
The Man" "Woman O Woman" are as heavy as heavy
can be, do not underestimate the power of pop. |

Best Of Abraham's Children - BNO 2001 Every band has to put out a best of cd. I never
understood that. Considering they always have more best material.
So here is the best of AC. This is basically the Time album with
a couple of added songs. Although the nice additions of "
Christina " " Back Home Again " " I Do "
" Strange Feeling " and " Rockin In The City "
are well worth this cd. I have to tip my hat off to BNO they
have a lot of balls releasing all this Jimi B and AC stuff. |

Abraham's Children 30
- BNO 010905 This
album has it all including the kitchen sink. 30 songs some are
classic some are lost treasures that any collector would give
up their sister to own. There are songs in here I have never
heard of and of course hit after hit. I enjoyed the interview
clips and some of the comments made by, I presume Jimi or one
of the band members. Listen to " Would Mother Approve "
a haunting piece that tells the story of a fan that gets infatuated
with a rock group only to learn her mother does not approve.
" Dreams To Sea " a progressive cut that would make
YES spin... all in all this is worth having if you like to explore
the depths of AC. This the cd to have. There are a couple of
duds on this but overall it stands the sands of time. Produced
by BNOrecordingUSA. |

Natopus - Transition - BNO -1985 This is what some people might call a
new age cd. Well it is. When Jimi first moved to Los Angeles
he hooked up with a musician named Bob Slap. Bob had been working
with Valley Of The Sun a label that specialized in new
age music and self help products. Slap asked Jimi if he would
like to help him with a project,...seven albums later. Jimi was
asked by the president of the company to produce something on
his own. Natopus was born. This cd has sold extremely well in
Japan over the years. The music was also used in many Lamaze
classes in hospitals in the California area. Not everyones cup
of tea. Sure is interesting what Jimi can come up with. Recorded
at Horizon Studios in Malibu, California.
