<H1>Oho - Up -- Discipline Global Mobile Shopping Cart</H1> "OHO's music maneuvers, folds and turns on itself exactly where it should...fascinating!" -Music Connection <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/dgm/images/01ohosm.JPG" ALIGN=right ALT="Oho - Up" NAME="Oho - Up" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> OHO are an artistic collective of musicians and artists based in the Baltimore, MD area who interweave sophisticated songwriting, slashing lava-like guitarism, and muscular rhythms with stunning female vocals, lush production, and state-of-the-art basement technology. The ensemble has existed since 1973. Nowadays, 30 years and two radical transformations later, they are a little more settled with an acid folk underpinning and a womanly presence from the keyboards and vocals of Jane Brody, Angela Lazaroni and the warbling of Grace Hearn, Mary O'Connor and Sue Ellen Sacco, not to mention a couple dozen other friends. OHO are currently recording a new CD, tentatively entitled "Bricolage." Stay tuned. In the meantime, "UP" is a steal and we suspect it will make your spirit soar from "over here to over there." Track Listing: 1. Shouts In The Street 2. The Secret 3. It Will Not Be Late 4. Out Of Thin Air 5. Where Have You Been? 6. Danger And Play 7. Scared Money 8. Orphans 9. Give Yourself Away 10. Long To Be Latin 11. Breaking Away 12. Controlled Substance 13. Change In The Wind 14. Til Death Do Us Part 15. Lost And Found 16. Dot On Your Door 17. Flip Side 18. Your Luck Is Awake 19. Dream Lifted Up "We (REM) decided that just 'UP' was the way to go. We hope in the future that all other bands will also adopt this title in a showing of solidarity." -Peter Buck "On this collection of songs from the past 18 years, OHO sounds like Jefferson Airplane landing on top of Genesis and then taking a time machine ride with Fairport Convention to play H.G. Wells' birthday party. The lyrics, in the best prog tradition, are dense and, like the music, definitely swirly." -Jeff Lindholm (Dirty Linen #106) "Best known for their work in the 70s, especially the quirky, psychedelic masterpiece 'Okinawa' and the more overtly progressive 'Vitamin OHO,' both of which have seen re-release on vinyl in recent years, we've also seen archival CD releases from that period as well, like 'Ecce OHO' and 'Recollections.' But OHO soldiered on through the 80s and sporadically through the 90s and in fact is still intermittently going to this day. As one might imagine, the years have brought changes, and for the period covered by this release (1985-2002) OHO was a trio with various other musicians revolving through the lineup, fronted by a succession of female singers. The disc starts off with 3 tracks of recent vintage with vocalist Jane Brody at the fore. These have a very pleasing sort of west-coast psychedelic sound with jangly guitars (think the Vejtables or early Airplane) mixed with some Celtic/folky elements, all updated with a modern sounding production; opener 'Shouts In the Street' and follow-up 'The Secret' are positively contagious. From there we go back further in time with Grace Hearn--who occasionally sounds a bit like Stevie Nicks; songs here are a bit more earthy, many having a less acoustic, more produced pop character. Many gems here as well, but the overtly psychedelic and 'live' closer 'Dream Lifted Up' is a standout. Fans of finely crafted female fronted pop will surely enjoy 'UP.' -Peter Thelen, (Expose #29) "OHO's music makes you want to exclaim the band's very name! This is intelligent power pop for the new millennium. Truly innovative, their sound is energetic, 'BIG,' produced (without being overly so) and professional, having elements of pop, folk, jazz, celtic and rock (and all with an alternative twist). David Reeve's rhythms are alternately flowing and funky, and are set beneath daring and creative melodies, excellent instrumentation and fantastic female vocalisation, ideally suited for OHO's tendency to employ minor chords. Even with their dark and sometimes spooky sound, the feeling is upbeat. There are also sparkling guitars (ala Lindsay Buckingham), Steve Carr's grumbling bass (some of the best ever) and J. Graboski's thoughtful lyrics. As produced as this CD appears to be, the soul remains intact. 'UP' is an excellent CD and 'Where Have You Been?' is one of my favorite songs on it. It's as if the band members and 29 guest artists have put themselves fully into this project and have given themselves away. OHO!!!" -Les Reynolds, Indie-Music.com "OHO's music maneuvers, folds and turns on itself exactly where it should...fascinating!" -Music Connection "A romantic, lushly harmonic collection having a wary acid-folk edginess and unpredictable lyrics. One of the best things about the OHO recordings is how good they sound...every element in their intricate arrangements shines." -The Washington Post "Melodic and thoughtful power pop on this Maryland quintet's debut." -CD Review (Editors' choice favorite selection) "Generating an irresistible urge to dance and sing, this CD is a tight mesh of modern, melodic, crisp grooves with vocals that are clear, strong and seamless, amazing guitar work, and songs that are contagious." -University Reporter "A brightly melodic collection of 19 impeccably played tracks with five supremely emotive female singers. Man, this stuff is FUN! 'Shouts In the Street' and 'Long To Be Latin' are so infectious you want to play them repeatedly. No one I've encountered in my years of doing PROGRESSION exemplifies the indomitable spirit of progressive music any better than Jay Graboski and his band,OHO." -John Collinge, Progession Magazine "OHO have the measurable parameters of success with stellar, unwavering female vocals, Steve Carr's crystalline production of the material, David Reeve's muscular rhythms and Jay Graboski's assiduous imagination. The confidence of their presentation kept my attention reeling. Their music had reached that zone of objectively fine quality. It was as if I was doing MYSELF a favor by listening." Le Marquis de Rhythm, -Rhythm "OHO sneaks around the conventions that have mummified so many others. For OHO the time is NOW! -J.D. Considine "An imaginative exploration of affecting acoustic guitars, head-expanding lyricism blending with hi-tech bravado, and a liberal dose of some of the brightest vocal harmonies your ears will ever absorb. THERE IS JOY IN NEARLY EVERY GROOVE. A fine testament to a band in which to clearly believe." -Maryland Musician "The men and women of OHO have been creating outstanding progressive rock on and off in a career spanning 30 years, and while the lineup of musicians may change, the musical quality and talent of the band remain the same. With 'UP' OHO proves again that it can produce vocal-driven folk rock while still delivering the musical goods that have led to their long and successful career."-Greg Yost, Music Monthly "OHO indeed!" -Baltimore City Paper <LI>SKU: 37927 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Category134" TITLE="Guitar Craft">Guitar Craft</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product667 TITLE="Atomic Chamber Ensemble - King for a Day">Atomic Chamber Ensemble - King for a Day</A> -- Featuring Jaxie Binder, Derek DiFilippo, Chris Gibson, Curt Golden, Dean Jensen and Bob Williams. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product635 TITLE="Barry Cleveland - Memory & Imagination">Barry Cleveland - Memory & Imagination</A> -- Double-CD compilation. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product636 TITLE="Barry Cleveland - Volcano">Barry Cleveland - Volcano</A> -- With Michael Pluznick, Michael Manring, Norbert Stachel ... and others <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product791 TITLE="Bigtime - Porteno">Bigtime - Porteno</A> -- New Release! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product623 TITLE="birds may bite - if startled">birds may bite - if startled</A> -- "nothing prepared me for the sweet sweet monkey brain love juice that is this record." <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product732 TITLE="Bob Williams - Falling West">Bob Williams - Falling West</A> -- Atomic Chamber Ensemble Member <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product261 TITLE="California Guitar Trio - A Christmas Album">California Guitar Trio - A Christmas Album</A> -- Merry Xmas From CGT <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product679 TITLE="California Guitar Trio - Whitewater">California Guitar Trio - Whitewater</A> -- Produced by Tony Levin. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product624 TITLE="California Guitar Trio W/Tony Levin - Monday Night In San Francisco">California Guitar Trio W/Tony Levin - Monday Night In San Francisco</A> -- Recorded live in San Francisco. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product634 TITLE="Cloud Chamber - Dark Matter (Featuring Barry Cleveland)">Cloud Chamber - Dark Matter (Featuring Barry Cleveland)</A> -- Featuring Barry Cleveland from Guitar Player Magazine. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1059 TITLE="Desiderata - A Temporary Shelter">Desiderata - A Temporary Shelter</A> -- "Excellent version of Thrak & Thick as A Brick" <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1063 TITLE="Jazzheads - avant wot not">Jazzheads - avant wot not</A> -- Finally, the reissue of the 1999 Philly/NYC underground jazz-funk-drum & bass classic. featuring Ari Hoenig, Tim Motzer, Chris Cuzme, and Ben Bocardo. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product115 TITLE="Kabusacki - The Planet ... and its beings">Kabusacki - The Planet ... and its beings</A> -- CD-ROM, including music and video animations. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product735 TITLE="Kabusacki 6.1 - La Maravilla">Kabusacki 6.1 - La Maravilla</A> -- Featuring Fernando Samalea and Charly García. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product868 TITLE="Kabusacki - The Flower">Kabusacki - The Flower</A> -- 2 disc set. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product609 TITLE="Kabusacki - The Planet: Transport (Import)">Kabusacki - The Planet: Transport (Import)</A> -- Japanese release.
