Oceansongs Discography
FrankenClime
Frankenclime is a satirical rock ‘n’ roll monster mash with in-your-face energy and contagious hooks to underscore the environmental challenges of the times.
Pop Tunes for Mystics
This album started in 2005 after listening to Nick Drake’s “Five Leaves Left”. It’s an album for long drives in the country, watching the sun come up, or late night meditations on the stars.
Fear and Love
Fear and Love is a CD recorded by Jim Ocean’s former band ‘The Dogmatics’ in Nashville, TN with the Grand ‘Ole Opry house band. The Dogmatics was comprised of singer/songwriters Jim Ocean, Randy Anger and Sarah Reynolds and was accompanied by the house band for the Grand Ole Opry which included musicians Kerry Marx, John Gardner, Bob Patin and Byron House.
The "Astronaut Lullabies" Soundtrack
This is a partial soundtrack for “Astronaut Lullabies”: an immersive live concert planetarium experience featuring Jim and Kathy Oceans’ thought-rocking collection of “space music”.
Macro2Micro
Macro2Micro is the first of two planned albums in a genre we’re calling “poetic science”. The songs use recent scientific discovery as a metaphorical launching point to explore the nuances of being human in these very interesting times that we all find ourselves in.
The Rise and Fall of Practically Everything
The Rise and Fall of Practically Everything was recorded by the first incarnation of Jim Ocean’s musical satire group Celtic Elvis. The album was recorded at Emerald City studio in San Francisco in 1989 by the acclaimed engineer Gary Mankin.
Hard to be Real
Hard To Be Real is a CD by the third incarnation of my musical satire band Celtic Elvis which was recorded live at Strings—an invitation-only acoustic music salon in the East Bay near Berkeley. It features Jim Ocean (vocals, primary songwriter and lead guitarist), Randy Anger (guitar and lead vocals), Barbara Griesau (vocals), Cecelia Pierotti (violin), and Rich Wescott on (vocals and bass).
