A new work by this instrumental group from Minas Gerais. All 10 pieces were composed by American minimalist composer Philip Glass. Inspired by the rivers of the Amazon.

A Lonely Grain of Corn was the first, and only, studio recording by the group Uncle Bonsai. Originally released in 1984, this recording has been digitally remastered & is available on compact disc for the first time. Includes the songs Suzy, Charlie and Me, Fat Boys, Billboard Live, and the cult, and FCC, favorite Penis Envy. Uncle Bonsai, originally disbanded in 1989, has periodically regrouped to perform on a limited basis.

This is the bizarre and outrageous contemporary folk group Uncle Bonsai's 1986 album recorded live in Seattle. The original LP/Cassette was the group's best-selling title and has not previously been issued on compact disc. Re-mastered for CD, this release also includes two bonus studio tracks. Features the songs Cheerleaders On Drugs, Don't Put It In Your Mouth, Fat Boys, Send My Body Home and others.

Imagine what might happen if Tim Burton hijacked the Andrews Sisters en route to a Stephen Sondheim festival with The Beatles and Tom Lehrer in the sidecar; you'd get Seattle super-harmonizers Uncle Bonsai. With just three voices and an acoustic guitar, Uncle Bonsai presents an often dizzying vocal array of intricate harmony. Their songs, dark and hilarious at times, just as often delight with moments of great insight and beauty. The trio aligns itself with the under-achiever, the dejected, the outsider, the black sheep. Densely-packed lyrics fly by in a whirr at times, and take a skewed stance on topics such as first-world problems, the creation of the universe, the afterlife, and, of course, holidays with the family. Uncle Bonsai's acoustic folk-pop songs are almost one-act plays or short stories, resisting strict pop, folk, or singer-songwriter categories. Their songs focus on the passing of time, the passing of genes, and the passing of pets - the truth of everything seemingly buried somewhere under the family tree. Now in it s thirty-sixth year, this acoustic folk-pop trio is proud to present its latest album and ninth release, The Family Feast: The Study of the Human Condition, First World Problems, and the Lasting Physiological and Psychological Effects of Eating Our Young.
