COMPACT DISCS

“Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants.” Stevie Wonder. Motown. “Songs in the Key of Life”--also available in CD--remains Wonder’s ultimate pop album, but this two-disc package from 1979 stands as his most ambitious and, perhaps even, his most accomplished work. The album--much of which was written for a documentary on the plant world--merges pop, film composition and electronic music sensibilities in ways that are ideal for the clarity of CD. Wonder expands the theme to touch gently the shared desires and needs of man, regardless of country or culture.
