Talking Heads Fear of Music [CD + DVDA]

Se flere produkter fra Amazon
This disc represents the bridge between Talking Heads' first two herky-jerkier albums and the next two funky ones. Fear of Music is more than just a bridge, though. It's the water under the bridge, the air, the animals, the cities the river flows through, and the heaven on top of it all: "...a place where nothing ever happens." Plenty happens here, however. The CD starts out with its feet off the ground and both arms in the air: "I Zimbra" is all-out celebration. The rest of the songs are pretty much exercises in simplicity: one-word titles with music to match. (Witness the lightness of "Air", the trippiness of "Drugs", the "ooga"-ness of "Animals".) David Byrne's artful naiveté ("Hold the paper up to the light/Some rays pass right through"), coupled with the whole band's musical playfulness (for example, the tuba on "Electric Guitar"), makes for fun fun fun. --Dan Leone

Se flere produkter fra Amazon
The 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

Apart from the non-release of Smile, the biggest lament of hardcore Beach Boys fans is that Bruce Johnston aside, none of the non-Brian Wilson solo albums are available on CD. But now, for fans of late drummer Dennis Wilson, there's reason to celebrate as his only-released solo album gets the reissue it deserves. Widely acknowledged as the finest Beach Boys solo effort, it's now presented with clarity, allowing the full sonic palette--the punch of opening "River Song" for example--to be heard in its intended glory. Wilson's raspy vocal may have been past its prime, but it's still affecting and ably supported by the sumptuous production values he gave the album. With high quality tracks such as the funky "Dreamer" and the poignant "Farewell My Friend", this will appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in The Beach Boys, as well as a delight for hardcore fans as the unreleased tracks (from the unfinished follow-up Bambu), easily match the original's quality. While the disappointing absence of earlier singles ("Lady" or "Sound of Free") prevents this from being a definitive career anthology, this is as essential a Beach Boys artefact as Pet Sounds or Sunflower/Surf's Up. --Thom Allott

Maid 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

Katie Melua Piece By Piece [Special Edition] [CD + DVD]

Se flere produkter fra Amazon
Piece By Piece--the second album from Georgia-born chanteuse cum naturalised Brit, Katie Melua, and the successor to her multi-million selling Call Off The Search--begins teasingly with the soft-peddled "come hither" jazz flirtations of "Shy Boy" and concludes with the whispering philosophical torch song resignation of "I Do Believe In Love". The two songs represent opposite ends of the emotional spectrum--sultry and kittenish on the one hand, solitary and ruminative on the other--but they also offer clues that the cutesy, crazy, easy listening Melua of Mike Batt's mentorship may be gradually acceding to the full bloom of self-determined musical adulthood. Melua's songs are often the more fretful and organic, the ghostly title track and the lovely "I Cried for You" are especially recommended, while the bluesier numbers (particularly the cover of the classic "Blues In The Night") seem shoehorned-in gratuitously to match an anticipated demographic. Batt's contributions are melodic, memorably buoyant and childlike, the Chinese-flavoured "Nine Million Bicycles" and the naggingly catchy "Halfway Up The Hindu Kush" are both charming despite their naive, pseudo-ethnicity and currently offer, particularly when compared to something as ponderously wooly as "Spider's Web", a necessary fun counterbalance to Melua's burgeoning compositional skills. At this stage, Piece By Piece fits together nicely like a little jigsaw puzzle. And even if it didn't, Melua would still sound simply ambrosial singing from a washing machine repair manual. -- Kevin Maidment More to Explore See more music by Katie Melua Call off the Search (For Piano, Voice & Guitar) Call off the Search (CD + DVD) On The Road Again ~ Katie Melua (DVD) See all Katie Melua products

As 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

Sarah Mclachlan Mirrorball

Grafted 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

This wonderful recording couples two of the most exciting early music talents currently performing, Ian Bostridge and Andreas Scholl, and is worth buying for their contributions alone. Bostridge rivals a former great Evangelist, Peter Schreier, in the fierce intelligence of his approach and the perfect clarity of his diction, but brings a different, more quicksilver, sense of drama to the proceedings. Unsurprisingly, considering the importance of the Evangelist's role, this sets the tone for the whole recording--unshowy, pure; even cool. Andreas Scholl confirms his status as one of the truly great voices with a performance of "Ebarme dich" almost painful in its beauty, and the other soloists too all have clear, attractive voices. The downside is the lack of visceral savagery in the choral interjections: everything is precise, clean and accurate, but, when they cry out for Barabbas to be released and then Christ to be crucified, it does not match the shocking intensity of some other performances. This distanced, more serene sense of drama has its attractions too, and overall this is an excellent addition to the canon of Matthew Passion recordings. The disc also contains an interactive CD-ROM. -- Warwick Thompson

Nobody makes sombre sound more exquisite than Alison Krauss. She's come an awfully long way from her days as a teenage fiddle prodigy, as her glamour gown on this CD's cover suggests and the bittersweet maturity of the music confirms. Krauss exchanges her bluegrass fiddle for the chamber strains of viola on much of the material, including four songs by Robert Lee Castleman (whose "The Lucky One," "Let Me Touch You for Awhile," and "Forget About It" were previously popularized by Krauss). Castleman's compositions showcase the emotional intimacy and interpretive subtlety of her breathy trill. The yearning harmonies on "Wouldn't Be So Bad" (written by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings) and "Borderline" (written by Sidney and Suzanne Cox) reinforce the album's restless spirit of quiet desperation. Change-of-pace contributions by Krauss's bandmates are more deeply rooted in the bluegrass/folk tradition, with Dan Tyminski renewing Del McCoury's "Rain Please Go Away" and Woody Guthrie's populist anthem "Pastures of Plenty"; Dobro master Jerry Douglas leads the charge on his instrumental "Unionhouse Branch." Few bands in bluegrass can match the virtuosity of Union Station's interplay, but the artistry of Alison Krauss transcends genre. --Don McLeese

Saint 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

A 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

As long as we're slapping arbitrary titles on CDs that compile snippets from classical favorites, let's call this one, The Laura Ashley Album. Floral prints and lace curtains from start to finish, the entire disc is performed by the English String Orchestra under the baton of William Boughton. 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

The British Music Collection: William Boyce - Symphonies

Se flere produkter fra Amazon
William 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

Given 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

An 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

To 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

Goldsmith - Planet of the Apes-film score [SOUNDTRACK]

Jerry 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

As 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

A life-long ambassador for American music, William Schuman (1910-1992) is known above all for his powerful Third Symphony (1941), though his substantial output is now being reassessed. The Violin Concerto (1959) is a good place to start: there's the high-velocity orchestral writing of his earlier music, but also a pensive, brooding quality that speaks of the uncertainty of the Cold War era . The solo part, perhaps mindful of Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto which took the US by storm in 1955, is virtuosic with an emotional depth to match, and effortlessly sustains itself over the two large-scale movements of Schuman's unorthodox yet effective design. Violinist Philip Quint is fully equal to the task, and José Serebrier, a seasoned champion of American music, steers the performance convincingly. New England Triptych makes inventive and exciting play with three 17th-century hymn-tunes by William Billings, while the 1963 orchestration of Charles Ives' youthful Variations on "America" (more recognisable to UK listeners as the National Anthem!) is pure fun. With spacious sound that lacks nothing in impact, this is an excellent introduction to a composer of real personality. -- Richard Whitehouse

Dear Catastrophe Waitress was a make or break album for Belle & Sebastian. Having lost two founder members (Stuart David to Looper and Isobel Campbell to the Gentle Waves) and produced a couple of endearing but not hugely exciting albums (their soundtrack to Todd Solondz's Storytelling film and their own Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant), the pressure was on for the Scottish indie-pop six-piece to provide a startling return to form. The presence of Trevor Horn (the man behind Tatu and Frankie Goes to Hollywood) as producer suggested that a stylistic leap was imminent. But would it be at the cost of the group's unique charm? Thankfully not. Chief songwriter Stuart Murdoch has clearly been listening to a lot of Randy Newman and Joe Jackson, along with a touch of Thin Lizzy, and Horn manages to meld these new influences with the trademark B&S sound. "Step into My Office Baby" is orchestral pop with a cheeky, almost raucous bent. "If She Wants Me" pulls off a flirtation with Orange Juice-style funk, while "Stay Loose" could be Squeeze covering "Space Oddity". On the more traditional B&S songs (the title track, "Wrapped Up in Books", live favourite "Lord Anthony"), the ante is upped simply by the quality of songwriting, which is a match for anything from the Tigermilk glory days. For a band whose best work seemed long behind them, Dear Catastrophe Waitress is just what was ordered. Not simply a return to form, but a bright new future. --Ian Watson
