At this point we can assume that most of you are familiar with at least some of Russell's vast catalog of work. His compositions span the deeply personal and intimate solo cello work of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/products\/arthur-russell-world-of-echo-vinyl-2lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorld Of Echo\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to classic disco anthems like \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/products\/loose-joints-is-it-all-over-my-face-vinyl-12\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLoose Joints' \"Is It All Over My Face\u003c\/a\u003e.\" He even dabbled in the country, folk and pop tinged rock that can be found on \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/products\/arthur-russell-love-is-overtaking-me-vinyl-2lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove Is Overtaking Me\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003ci\u003eCalling Out Of Context\u003c\/i\u003e, the first release from Audika, collects unreleased tracks from Russell that somehow live in the middle ground between all of the areas he explored. Russell was notorious for continually reworking his music and never being able to call it done. Much of the material on this compilation comes from a 1985 album that was never released, along with an album that was never completed due to the work Russell continued to put into it throughout the latter half of the 80s. Despite the disparate sources of the material the sound throughout the album is remarkably consistent. Those that are familiar with \u003cstrong\u003eIndian Ocean's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"School Bell \/ Treehous\" and \"Let's Go Swimming\" will have an idea of what to expect. There are hazy songs that recall memories and shared past experiences, and flirtations with pop and R\u0026amp;B. Much of the sound is electronic, with drum machines carrying the majority of the rhythms. At times Russell is joined by \u003cstrong\u003eMustafa Ahmed\u003c\/strong\u003e on percussion and \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Zummo\u003c\/strong\u003e on trombone, and the album closes with a \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/search?q=Walter+Gibbons\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalter Gibbons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e mix of \"Calling All Kids.\" The real standout of everything that is presented here is the 7 minute journey of \"That's Us \/ Wild Combination\" where Russell recounts family road trips over loosely played organ along with beautiful vocal harmonies from \u003cstrong\u003eJennifer Warnes\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's out there and experimental, emotional and touching, but nearly as catchy as any pop song out there. One of the unique songs that only Arthur Russell could pull off.
