Four CDs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dedrick children, Chris, his brother Bruce, their sister Sandra and their younger sisters Ellen and Stefanie, were born into a world of music. Rather than be dictated to and diluted by the majors, they chose to commit to the artistic freedom and potential to develop offered them by the producer Enoch Light through his independent set up, Project 3. During the 1990's The Free Design enjoyed a renaissance. The enthusiastic reevaluation of their work by a new generation of international musicians; Cornelius, Beck, Stereolab and the High Llamas, who insisted that The Free Design be placed among the all-time greats of vocal harmony; to be spoken of in the same sentence as The Beach Boys and The Carpenters. With exceptions, The Free Design were at their most pure in recordings of their own compositions. 'Kites Are Fun', 'Bubbles', 'Kije's Ouija', 'My Brother Woody', 'Ivy On A Windy Day', 'Starlight', 'Daniel Dolphin', 'I'm A Yogi', 'My Very Own Angel,' and the 'Dorian Benediction', each adorned by the baroque fantasy quality which is uniquely theirs. Breathtakingly original songs full of playful, nostalgic lyrical imagery; sometimes surprisingly dark; always enormously listenable. Whilst the arrangements reflected Chris Dedrick's classical training and eclectic taste, the beautifully detailed sound must be attributed - at least in part - to the legendary sound engineer Phil Ramone, a magician whose emphasis on subtlety and nuance in performance conceived such creations as 'The Girl from Ipanema' by Astrud Gilberto, 'Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard' by Paul Simon, the Bob Dylan album, \"Blood On the Tracks\", and, of course, 'Bubbles' by The Free Design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKites Are Fun (1967)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Kites Are Fun\u003cbr\u003e2 Make the Madness Stop\u003cbr\u003e3 When Love Is Young\u003cbr\u003e4 The Proper Ornaments\u003cbr\u003e5 My Brother Woody\u003cbr\u003e6 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)\u003cbr\u003e7 Don't Turn Away\u003cbr\u003e8 Umbrellas\u003cbr\u003e9 Michelle\u003cbr\u003e10 Never Tell the World\u003cbr\u003e11 A Man and a Woman\u003cbr\u003e12 Stay Another Season\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou Could Be Born Again (1968)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13 You Could Be Born Again\u003cbr\u003e14 A Leaf Has Veins\u003cbr\u003e15 California Dreamin'\u003cbr\u003e16 The Windows of the World\u003cbr\u003e17 Eleanor Rigby\u003cbr\u003e18 Quartet No. 6 in D Minor\u003cbr\u003e19 I Like the Sunrise\u003cbr\u003e20 I Found Love\u003cbr\u003e21 Daniel Dolphin\u003cbr\u003e22 Happy Together\u003cbr\u003e23 Ivy on a Windy Day\u003cbr\u003e24 An Elegy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeaven \/ Earth (1969)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 My Very Own Angel\u003cbr\u003e2 Now Is the Time\u003cbr\u003e3 If I Were a Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e4 You Be You and I'll Be Me\u003cbr\u003e5 Girls Alone\u003cbr\u003e6 2002 -
