Stevie Wonder - Original Musiquarium I (1982)

Artist:  Stevie Wonder
Title:  Original Musiquarium I
Release:  1982
Format:  2LP
Label:  Motown Records
Catalog#  428009

Stevie Wonder’s “Original Musiquarium I” is a compilation album by R&B/soul musician Stevie Wonder, released as Tamla 6002 in 1982, taken from Wonder’s “classic period” running from 1972 to 1980.
It also add a few album tracks to hint at the depth of his albums, as well as four new songs (one for each side). Though there could be some dispute about the album tracks, this does wind up as an excellent overview of Wonder’s period of greatest activity, and it’s a terrific listen to boot any record that sports such hits as “Superstition,” “You Haven’t Done Nothin’,” “Living for the City,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” “Higher Ground,” “Sir Duke,” “Boogie on Reggae Woman,” and “I Wish” is guaranteed to be a great listen, and it is. Wonder remains a quintessential album artist, but this record is a terrific snapshot of the highlights.

Stevie Wonder - Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants (1979)

Release:  1979
Genre: Soul, Funk
Format:  2 LP
Label:  Motown Records
Catalog#  1A 158-62492
Prijs:  €20,00

Stevie Wonder broke a three-year silence, one that followed a series of six classic albums released within six years, with this double album, the score/soundtrack to a little-seen environmental documentary directed by Wild Bunch co-screenwriter Walon Green. From the release of “Songs In The Key Of Life” through the release of Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants”, Wonder had been active, actually, but only as a collaborator, working with Ramsey Lewis, the Pointer Sisters, Minnie Riperton, Syreeta, Ronnie Foster, and Michael Jackson.
Though it is dominated by synthesizer-heavy instrumental pieces with evocative titles, there is a handful of full-blown songs. The gorgeous, mostly acoustic ballad “Send One Your Love” was a Top Ten R&B single, while the joyous “Outside My Window” registered in the Top 60. Beyond that, there’s the deep classic “Come Back as a Flower,” a gently lapping, piano-led ballad featuring Syreeta on vocals. Otherwise, there are playfully oddball tracks like “Venus’ Flytrap and the Bug,” where Wonder chirps “Please don’t eat me!” through robotizing effects, and “A Seed’s a Star,” which incorporates crowd noise, a robotized monologue, and a shrieking Tata Vega over a funkier and faster version of Yellow Magic Orchestra.
The album is not for everyone, but it suited its purpose and allowed its maker an amount of creative wiggle room that few major-label artists experience.
