Sarah McLachlan Mirrorball: Greatest Hits LiveSe flere produkter fra AmazonGrafted from McLachlan's supremely satisfying 1998 performances, Mirrorball is drawn almost equally from Surfacing and its superior predecessor, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. Live, a haunting ballad such as "Possession" becomes a fevered, aggressive bit of psychedelia. "Hold On" reveals new depths when performed behind the beat with morphing time signatures and driving piano. McLachlan's warmly expressive voice is still at the epicentre of her performances. She roams through these 14 songs with agile ease, riding the rails between singing for dramatic arena effect--huskily growling, airily trilling--and knowing what to play down with her sensually controlled crooning (witness such gems as Fumbling's title song and "Good Enough"). Overall, McLachlan's vocals match the heavily percussive intensity of her band and the build of her backing vocalists, producing a more spacious sound than the precise pitch rendered on her studio recordings. -- Paige La Grone Fragt: Ukendt! |

Saint Etienne Smash The System : The Best of St. EtienneSe flere produkter fra AmazonSmash the System is a 34-track best-of compilation following the UK trio's remarkable progression from suave masters of post-rave dub soul into protagonists of ironic pastiches of cheesy 60s pop. Producers Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs even acquired bouffants to match their retro fetish, and their twee-voiced singer Sarah Cracknell dressed as if she'd just stepped out of a mini for a David Bailey photo shoot. For a time they smartly blended guitar pop with the emerging dance scene but like other bands formed by music journalists (Gay Dad take note) they became too clever for their own good. Smash the System kicks off with "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", St Etienne's most accomplished piece of work. It was their debut cut, remixed by Andy Weatherall, and was instrumental in pioneering the indie-dance crossover genre that hugely benefited groups such as Primal Scream, the Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays in the early 1990s. But St Etienne continued on a different curve, veering into quasi-comedic records such as "He's on the Phone" which pokes fun at Kylie Minogue's early career and the Sandie Shaw-like "The Bad Photographer". They later recaptured their early dancefloor swagger and had a top 10 hit ("Tell Me Why") in conjunction with Paul Van Dyk. Unfortunately this doesn't appear on this collection. Going through 10 years of their work you can see the dub and breakbeat influences diminish in direct proportion to the influx of silliness, which is probably why St Etienne are still regarded as one of pops great underachievers. The remix album Casino Classics probably does them better justice. -- Jake Barnes Fragt: Ukendt! |

Shane Macgowan & The Popes The Rare Oul' StuffSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe Rare 'Oul Stuff is a compilation of odd-job B-sides and key album tracks recorded by Shane MacGowan with post-Pogues backing-band the Popes between 1994 and 1998. The album is unlikely to enhance Macgowan's public-profile much further beyond Filthy McNasty's pub in London's Islington, but only because it doesn't contain any of the songs which temperance-favouring laymen are likely to remember. Thus, there's no sign of the minor hits "My Way", "Haunted" or "That Woman's Got Me Drinking" but, perversely, certain non-charting A-sides are included. The best of these is obviously the cinematically scored "You're The One" (cowritten with Michael Kamen), a duet with Maire Brennan which juxtaposes the Clannad singers' windswept, virginal vocal sensuality with Macgowan's Gainsbourg-esque cragginess and therefore constitutes the unlikeliest artistic love match since Esmeralda fell for the bell-ringer at that church in Paris. On the other hand, "Christmas Lullaby" is just dismal. Elsewhere, fans of fornication-flavoured vocabulary, rebel songs (the historical "Roddy McCorley" and more controversially "Paddy Public Enemy Number One", a tribute to deceased Republican terrorist Dominic McGlinchey), blazing tin whistles and banjos can't go wrong--even if the version of "Danny Boy" is a case of too much Shane. --Kevin Maidment Fragt: Ukendt! |

Jennifer Lopez J.LoSe flere produkter fra AmazonLike Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez has entered the singing, dancing, acting, can-do-anything zone of the bona fide superstar and has developed an ego to match her talents. J.Lo, the follow-up to her multi-platinum 1999 debut On The 6, makes little attempt to tinker with the latino soul formula she patented back then, employing an army of co-producers and writers (including partner Puffy) to assemble a slick, 15-track affair. If anything, her sound is safe, retro even, with some tracks looking back to the 1980s, particularly the Michael Jackson-influenced "I'm Real" and the funky, impressive "Play". Her Puerto Rican background comes to the fore on a handful of Spanish numbers, notably "Cariño", which samples Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaria's "Sofrito" to impressive effect. It goes badly wrong on the "La Isla Bonita" sound-a-like, "Ain't It Funny", which merely serves to reinforce the impression that Lopez is happy to settle for being the latino Madonna. -- Mike Pattenden Fragt: Ukendt! |

Original Soundtrack Maid in ManhattanSe flere produkter fra AmazonMaid in Manhattan, the soundtrack, aims straight for the territory established by modern romantic comedy albums with an anthology of songs that wouldn't be out of place in Bridget Jones's CD collection. The disc concludes with two cuts from Alan ( The Mexican (2001)) Silvestri's score, the title theme offering an attractive Latin groove in honour of Jennifer Lopez titular character and "At Last" providing the requisite romantic ending. Before these are a dozen songs, the Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards funk-liberation anthem "I'm Coming Out" providing the movie's theme in both vintage Diana Ross and new Amerie flavours. Elsewhere old and new rub shoulders too as the Pointer Sisters' funky 1973 hit "Yes We Can" contrasts with RES' drive-time melancholy "Miracles", Teena Marie's 1984 bubble-gum pop "Lovergirl" balances Norah Jones' sultry folk ballad "Come Away with Me" and Glenn Lewis Latin sentiments, "Fall Again", provide a glossy alternative to Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard". Meanwhile Eva Cassidy contributes a beautifully spare cover of Simon's "Kathy's Song" and Bread pay live homage to "The Guitar Man". Covering all bases this decade-spanning set is sure to earn a place in the charts to match the hit movie's box-office success. -- Gary S Dalkin Fragt: Ukendt! |

Choir of New College Oxford/Edward Higginbottom Bluebird - Music of ContemplationSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe Choir of New College Oxford has been performing for more than 600 years. Bluebird features five centuries' worth of choral music, from Taverner to Tavener, under Edward Higginbottom, the choir's musical director since 1976. This is the choir's first recording for Decca and although its standard of performance doesn't quite match up to those made for Erato, such as the bestselling Agnus Dei, this is a fascinating and well-conceived collection of 20 sacred works. Composers including Monteverdi, Handel, Gounod, Grieg, Fauré, Rachmaninov, Rossini, Messiaen and Pärt are explored. But it is the English repertory which the choir most succeeds in bringing to life, notably John Rutter's heartwarming What Sweeter Music, Edgar Bainton's rousing And I saw a new Heaven, Charles Stanford's mesmerising The Blue Bird and the glorious "Amen" from Gerald Finzi's Lo, the full, final sacrifice. -- Rebecca Agnew Fragt: Ukendt! |

Jim Hall Jim Hall & BassesSe flere produkter fra AmazonAs Jim Hall & Basses proves, Jim Hall has a talent for reducing music to its essence, the barest glimpse of melody, the subtlest inflection, the most imaginative harmonic choice. His economy and empathy have led to some brilliant duo performances during his career, including ones with Bill Evans and Ron Carter, and those qualities distinguish his encounters here with some outstanding bassists. The materials range from standards and fresh Hall compositions to free improvisation, and the results match low-level volume with intense creative activity, as Hall seems to find the essential character of each of his partners. Hall and Dave Holland have worked frequently as a duo, and they're particularly imaginative together, Hall turning to 12-string to accompany Holland's lead on "End the Beguine". The two also maintain constant undercurrents of supportive play in a driving, soulful tribute to the great Sam Jones. Charlie Haden's sparse, low-register lyricism on "Don't Explain" complements Hall's own, while Christian McBride generates strong propulsion and an emphasis on fundamentals on two Hall compositions written with him in mind, the blues "Bent Blue" and the waltz "Dog Walk". Hall also matches up with George Mraz and his regular bassist Scott Colley, both for duets and a series of adventurous trios with guitar and two basses, from the complex atonal dialogue of "Abstract 3" to the profound longing of Mraz's keening bow work on "Tango Loco". --Stuart Broomer Fragt: Ukendt! |

Neil Diamond Home Before DarkSe flere produkter fra AmazonRemarkably Home Before Dark is the first US chart topping album of Neil Diamond's forty year career. It appears to repeat the formula behind 2006's acclaimed 12 Songs--relatively understated arrangements and a subtle Rick Rubin production. But Diamond, though sixty-seven years old and the oldest recipient of a Number One so far, is no Johnny Cash, turning his unique voice to some well chosen contemporary material. Instead Home Before Dark is a collection of new Diamond songs, and though they might not match the boomers in his back catalogue they are hardly stripped back. These are songs designed to fill large venues alongside the showstoppers in Diamond's still energetic live show. "Pretty Amazing Grace" is in the great tradition of Diamond songs that defy their corniness with sheer catchiness, as is "One More Bite of the Apple" while "Don't Go There" features bracing backing vocals and a delightfully dated wobbly guitar hook. The duet with Natalie Maines, "Another Day (That Time Forgot)", would fit comfortably on American country radio while "The Power of Two" sounds like another hit in waiting. In fact this is more a conventional Diamond collection than a Rick Rubin production, dominated by lightly understated country rock arrangements played by a crack team including Smokey Hormel, Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell and the usually experimental Matt Sweeney. This is a charming and consistently solid set, though Home Before Dark does lack the unexpected intensity that made 12 Songs stand out so. -?Steve Jelbert Fragt: Ukendt! |

Saint Low Saint LowSe flere produkter fra AmazonSaint Low is the flag under which former Madder Rose vocalist Mary Lorson is waging her solo career. Her break with the band, on the evidence of this self-titled debut, is not intended to be the harbinger of any bold new musical direction. Were any Madder Rose fan presented with Saint Low and told it was a new Madder Rose album, they might conclude that Madder Rose were mellowing somewhat in their dotage, but other than that, business as usual. This, of course, is no problem at all: Madder Rose spent their career being outrageously under-rated, and the few songs Lorson contributed were among their most overlooked aspects. Given the time and space to allow her under-utilised song-writing voice to match her impeccable singing voice (as ever, kind of a cross between Kristin Hersh and Sandy Denny), she's blooming: "Crash" and "Tall Trees" especially are gorgeous, elegaic ballads, and it's to be hoped that Saint Low have all the luck Madder Rose didn't. --Andrew Mueller Fragt: Ukendt! |

Pretty Girls Make Graves Good HealthSe flere produkter fra AmazonA welcome reissue of this Seattle band's LookoutRecords debut, Good Healthcaptures Pretty Girls Make Graves before their music took on the pseudy, slightly muddled edge that made 2003's The New Romancea minor disappointment. Balanced neatly on the precipice between purge-and-vent emotion and post-hardcore complexity, PGMG ride a similar dynamic to Washington DC's Fugazi, forever ricocheting between moments of passionate excess and stoic experimentation, but always pulling back from the brink of each extreme. The album peaks early - well, immediately, if we're honest - with the fantastic "Speakers Push The Air", a pleasingly straightforward hymn to the life-altering properties of rock music, pouting lead singer Andrea Zollo hurling the words "And nothing else matters when I turn it up loud!" with sheer adolescent joy. There's much good besides, though: "3 Away" imagines Bikini Kill if they had the chops to match the polemic, while "The Getaway" - the tale of a teenage runaway - adds a tender edge to Pretty Girls' rather hard visage. Even if you were turned off by the follow-up, Good Health is well worth picking up. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

In spite of its packaging, this is actually a great CD for those who enjoy a cup of tea with their classical music. The featured composers include Vaughan Williams, Delius, and Elgar. The slow, pastoral, single-movement selections are lushly played and easy on the ear in every respect. Very nice. I'd like some lampshades to match. --Gwendolyn Freed Fragt: Ukendt! |

The British Music Collection: William Boyce - SymphoniesSe flere produkter fra AmazonWilliam Boyce's collection of Eight Symphonies was published in 1760, though all save one were actually composed as overtures between 1739 and 1756. Until recently, Boyce's posthumous reputation rested on his church music and choral anthems such as Heart of Oak, but in his day he was also active in the London theatre world and these "Symphonys" are representative examples of the vogue for Italianate sinfonias (three movements: fast-slow-fast) and French overtures (a slow introduction-fugue-one or more dance movements). Like many other capable British composers, Boyce was ultimately overshadowed by the commanding presence of Handel, and it is thanks in no small part to the period-instrument movement that the considerable charms of his instrumental output are now better appreciated. Melodious, light of texture and enlivened with sprightly gavottes, minuets and jigs, these works need the sympathetic advocacy of groups such as Christopher Hogwood's Academy of Ancient Music to bring them back to life. Like Trevor Pinnock before him, Hogwood grasps the music's innate gracefulness: both versions match tempos almost exactly throughout, but Hogwood's rhythmic precision allows more space to appreciate the instrumental textures, while his substitution of organ for harpsichord in places give the continuo more variety. Both recordings of this delightful music, however, are self-recommending.-- Mark Walker Fragt: Ukendt! |

Stereolab Aluminium Tunes: Switched on Vol.3Se flere produkter fra AmazonGiven Stereolab's predilection for art-rocky '60s pop ditties and penchant for creating a compelling variety of absurdity, this double-CD B-sides and rarities collection manages to be less a meandering collection than glorious, mix-and-match fluff. Encompassing more of the French language than a 101 college course, Laetitia Sadier's melodic, singsongy vocals entrance the Francophile within and somehow ideally complement the fragmented nature of the typical Stereolab composition. On half-realized wanderings like "Klang Tune" and zippier pieces of melodic debris like "Munich Madness," the album flows by quickly, getting by on speedy and disjointed yet memorable flashes of structure. In fact, given the hodgepodge nature of Stereolab's musical mentality, the record feels like a serendipitous mix of content and format and treats Stereolab fans to perhaps their best album yet because of it. --Matthew Cooke Fragt: Ukendt! |

Various Next FridaySe flere produkter fra AmazonAn Ice Cube-directed film was always going to be a good excuse for a storming soundtrack. For the follow-up to his cult classic Friday, it was an absolute necessity. So the biggest names in rap and R&B--The Wu-Tang Clan, Eminem, Krayzie Bone, Aaliyah (with her supremely soulful "I Don't Wanna") and the director himself (brandishing the ferocious statement of intent "You Can Do It")--have turned out in force, supplying career-defining tunes, to make Next Friday more than a match for its predecessor. Normally such a list, plus Wyclef Jean's funk jam "Low Income" and Pharoahe Monch's sublime "Livin It Up" (up there with Blackstreet's "No Diggity" as a classic) would be enough to ensure a stunning musical accompaniment to any movie. But Ice Cube's used Next Friday as an excuse, as if one were needed, to re-form the mighty NWA, with Snoop Dogg taking the mic for the late Easy E. And while "Chin Check", their first track in a decade, may not be their finest outing, it comes a pretty hard-hitting second and guarantees this as the hip-hop collection of the year. -- Dan Gennoe Fragt: Ukendt! |

Dr. Seuss Dr. Seuss Presents Fox in Sox (Miller)Se flere produkter fra AmazonNearly a decade after his death, the stories of Pulitzer Prize-winning Theodor Geisel (better known as Dr Seuss) still reign supreme in hilarity and genius with both adults and children, many of the former retaining fond memories of Seuss I Can Read books and television specials from their own childhood. Of the three fine discs reissued by Buddha Records in 1999, Fox in Socks and accompanying tales takes the most glorious biscuit. Marvin Miller, whose voice rates on the comfort and familiarity meter with that of Winnie-the-Pooh, American newscaster Walter Cronkite, and actor Wilford Brimley, is as splendid a yarn spinner as there ever was. His pliant and strong readings wittily match the brilliance of the author, especially on the pinpoint precision of a fast version of "Fox in Socks", along with the understated morality tales of the star-bellied Sneetches and Gertrude McFuzz, both of which celebrate identity and individuality. Fox in Socks is a must-have for fans of any age. --Paige La Grone END Fragt: Ukendt! |

Original Sound Track The Summer of SamSe flere produkter fra AmazonEvery Spike Lee "joint" has something to say in its music. What Summer Of Sam says is that a little boogie won't hurt anyone. So match the flashing tile lights of the disco dance floor, and try not to have anyone's eye out with your shirt lapels. All that applies to Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up", Abba's "Dancing Queen", Roy Ayers' "Running Away", Chic's "Everybody Dance", Machine's "There But For The Grace Of God Go I", The Emotions' "Best Of My Love", and Peter Brown's "Dance With Me". Then there's a couple of covers to put you back out there for more strutting, the best of which is Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way". You might trip up a step to come across the harder edge of The Who's "Baba O'Riley", or Grace Jones' "La Vie En Rose".

Jay-Z The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The CurseSe flere produkter fra AmazonTo release seven strong albums in as many years is a phenomenal achievement. Just ask Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. The rapper's fans know he won't let them down, so Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse is as near to a no-risk investment as this notoriously variable genre can produce. In hip-hop, stars are born, rise, shine briefly, then fade and fall with alarming speed. Yet, seven years after his independently produced debut, Reasonable Doubt, Jay-Z is still shining. This sprawling, contrary, brash and supremely competent double CD isn't without its faults, but they're easily overlooked. Whether resurrecting the career of a forgotten producer (Heavy D's "Guns & Roses" should do for his career what "Hard Knock Life" did for the 45 King's) or continuing to nurture new talent (Just Blaze and Kanye West, unknown before the first Blueprint, produce the majority of tracks here), Carter knows how to get the best from his collaborators. And, especially considering he works on his lyrics "live", committing them to both memory and tape instead of writing them down, Jay's wordsmithery is particularly impressive. Nobody in rap history can match his consistency; the only problem will be living up to his own standards. -- Angus Batey Fragt: Ukendt! |

Goldsmith - Planet of the Apes-film score [SOUNDTRACK]Se flere produkter fra AmazonJerry Goldsmith maintains he wrote his best work for director Franklin J. Schaffner. With Planet of the Apes there was so much to be intellectually stimulated by, it's intriguing to consider what he might have put together under another director's mind-set (like the largely conventionally scored four sequels). There's no indication of music in the Ape culture; the film's heroic focal point (Charlton Heston) is a self-centred misanthrope. Goldsmith therefore chose to represent the landscape and ideas (such as slavery). Where possible he turned musical convention on its head, suggesting the upside-down culture. In some places he even about-faced his instrumentation--inverting horn funnels to give a hollow rasp. This stark, bleak, uncomfortable collection of noise, comes at you in clusters. Often the composer's music is accessible without knowledge of the film, but it's imperative you've seen this movie to appreciate the full effect of the ram's horn in "The Hunt", a centrally important cue in the film's narrative and not incidentally one of Goldsmith's most inspired creations. A nice bonus is a suite from Escape from the Planet of the Apes, which takes all of two seconds to show how the series slipped into predictability with its cheesy electric guitars. They certainly convey the 1973 setting, and the complicated percussive tempos offer some reminder of his original score. In thinking, it cannot hope to match it, unfortunately. --Paul Tonks Fragt: Ukendt! |

Garbage Version 2.0Se flere produkter fra AmazonAs its title suggests, Version 2.0 is no great departure for Garbage from the sound that made their eponymous 1995 debut such a hit. While much was made of the various band members' chequered pasts (drummer Butch Vig produced Nirvana's Nevermind; singer Shirley Manson was in dreadful Scottish agit-goths Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie), Garbage actually don't sound anything like what these previous projects might have led one to expect. One of the few truly modern rock bands--although for some reason this is often described as being contrived by reactionary critics--Garbage blend traditional rock instrumentation with samples, programming and the close to unlimited possibilities presented by late 1990s recording technology more naturally than many of their "Look at us! We're so contemporary!" peers. While this album fails to match the quality of the debut, it nevertheless has a number of cool moments, including the singles "Special", "When I Grow Up", "I Think I'm Paranoid", and the Beach Boys-quoting "Push It". --Ronita Dutta Fragt: Ukendt! |
