Village People The Best of the Village PeopleSe flere produkter fra AmazonOK, "Macho Man," after you are "In the Navy" and you've spent the night at the "Y.M.C.A" in New York City, you should "Go West" to "San Francisco" where they "Can't Stop the Music" and then, when it gets too foggy, head out for some sun in "Key West". All the great Village People classics are in this collection. Whether you fancy yourself the Construction Worker or the Cop, you'll be happy with this raucous collection of grandly cheeky hits. These are big disco songs, with thinly veiled innuendoes; the flamboyant and triumphant lyrics will get you on your feet, arms in a "Y," in no time. --Beth Bessmer Fragt: Ukendt! |

Motion City Soundtrack I Am the MovieSe flere produkter fra AmazonAs you'd expect from anyone on the Epitaph label, Motion City Soundtrack are no ordinary pop band, and I Am the Movie no ordinary pop album. With their friendly, occasionally edgy rush of guitars and a keyboard that shifts between urgency and wackiness, at their best they echo the classic power pop of the Cars, and occasionally the Murder City Devils at their least fraught and frenetic. Fine examples of this are "My Favourite Accident", "Modern Chemistry" and the closing "A-OK". Just as often, though--as with "Shiver" and "The Future Freaks Me Out"--they recall the near-perfect smart pop of Fountains of Wayne. Their songs, peopled with drinkers and dreamers, dropouts and liars, are usually happily insidious (even the one about suicidal depression), unconvincing only when MCS commit the standard US punk-pop error of failing to match words and music. Towards the end of the album, this poor writing forces them into clumsiness and consequently breaks the spell. For the most part, though, their intelligence, humour and energy are gratifying enough. --Dominic Wills Fragt: Ukendt! |

Death Cab For Cutie Narrow StairsSe flere produkter fra AmazonNarrow Stairs might be the first album recorded by Death Cab for Cutie since Ben Gibbard's former solo project went unexpectedly stratospheric, but Gibbard hasn't let it go to his head. Oh, OK, maybe a little: lead-off single "I Will Possess Your Heart" is an eight minute jam that speeds off on one long, luminous curve before Gibbard's distinctive vocals swing in, sweet and plaintive as ever. Even when indulging their grander visions, though, Death Cab for Cutie are still familiar as the same band that wrote those fragile, winsome songs back before teen drama The OC came knocking. Never knowingly overstated, built from driving rhythms, flourishes of piano and intricate melodies, Narrow Stairs builds grand, emotionally loaded narratives from small, subtle parts. "Your New Twin Sized Bed" hides a deftly articulated tale of heartbreak and loneliness amidst soothing tangles of guitar, while "You Can Do Better than Me" is a sweet miniature that's part Pet Sounds orchestration, part wistful Dear John. This isn't, as Gibbard would previously hint, a dissonant or especially adventurous album. It proves, however, that Death Cab can extend their scope without diluting the pathos or energy of their music, and it not only sounds great, but bodes well for the future. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Franz Ferdinand Franz FerdinandSe flere produkter fra AmazonTouted as being the first great album of 2004, Franz Ferdinand's eponymous debut may be the secret weapon that'll kick-start the British fight against the White Strokes. Though they have a reputation as being bohemian art-obsessed dilettantes, they're at the vanguard of the Art Wave scene, and possess a fierce determination to change the face of modern music--their twin aims: to bring back cerebral rock that makes you want to dance, and to bring frontline music back home (witness exclusively British lyrics such as "I'm on BBC 2 now; telling Terry Wogan how I made it"). So what weapons do these four skinny lads engage to galvanise the UK music scene? Unsurprisingly, they roll out the big guns of Britpop past. "Cheating on You" bounces like early Blur; "Come on Home" soars like pre- OK Computer Radiohead; "Michael" flirts with Suede-esque sexual androgyny; and "Matinee" sleazes onto you like Pulp at their most lascivious. Though they draw on the past, they do so wisely, injecting voguish angular 80s synth-pop with old-fashioned heart and soul. Their debut embraces the experimental, featuring time-signature changes and mid-song tempo drops, yet its solidity prevents it from consignment to the gratuitously quirky bin. If you feel that the Rapture lack a sense of drama and Interpol lack joy and energy, then Franz Ferdinand are the boys for you. Their stated ambition is to erase the Archduke Franz Ferdinand from the annals of history and replace him in the collective consciousness with themselves. Archduke who? -- Paul Eisinger Fragt: Ukendt! |

Randy Newman The Randy Newman Songbook Vol.1Se flere produkter fra AmazonRandy Newman began his career as a misanthropic satirist and thwarted romantic. It's this version of Newman who shows up for Songbook Vol 1, despite his now being best known as the curly haired Prince of Pixar (he's written hit songs for a number of animated blockbusters, including Toy Story 2 and A Bug's Life). Songbook Vol 1 revisits 18 of his compositions, most written in the 1960s or 1970s, and all stripped down to just voice and piano. The idea is borrowed from vintage tributes to the masters, the "songbooks" of Jerome Kern or Cole Porter. In Newman's case, it's hard to imagine anyone else singing a slave-trader's smooth sales pitch ("Sail Away"), a deity's bemused take on mankind ("God's Song") or a child-murderer's creepy meditation ("In Germany Before the War"). Stripped of rock backbeats or orchestral sweetening, Newman's songs reveal their stark beauty and classic craftsmanship even more keenly. What may be most remarkable, however, is how prescient some of the songs seem now ("Lonely at the Top" predates the rise of OK magazine and a revolving cast of whining superstars) and how timely some of its humour is. "Political Science" may have been written during the Vietnam War, but its clueless narrator ("No one likes us, I don't know why / We may not be perfect but heaven knows we try") sounds a lot like a Bush Jr cabinet member. Since the early 1980s, Newman has focused the lion's share of his attention on soundtrack scores and sly but cuddly buddy songs. Songbook Vol 1 makes one wish Newman would devote more of his energies to writing new songs as topical, vibrant and biting as his old ones. --Keith Moerer Fragt: Ukendt! |

Radiohead My Iron LungSe flere produkter fra AmazonWhen exactly Radiohead transformed themselves from an average alterna-rock band into an avant-garde juggernaut is difficult to pinpoint, but in terms of recording, they took the great leap forward somewhere around the time of their second album, The Bends. While their debut, Pablo Honey, had a few sharp hooks, there was nothing to predict the avalanche of ideas that made The Bends one of the important albums of the 1990s. This EP (which is actually longer than some bands' full albums) doesn't clarify things a bit. The acoustic version of "Creep" that ends My Iron Lung is a sensitive read, but it doesn't explain the structural leap of the title track, which sounds as if the band had relearned how to play their instruments. Most of the remaining tunes are short, quirky numbers that point up Thom Yorke's penchant for melancholy melodies. Those who treasure the art rock of OK Computer or Kid A may find these plaintive pleas for love and understanding almost too simple. --Rob O'Connor Fragt: Ukendt! |

Six By Seven The Way I Feel TodaySe flere produkter fra AmazonThe Way I Feel Today is where Six by Seven's career veers off the Radiohead trajectory. Their second album, 2000's brooding and accomplished The Closer You Get may have drawn parallels with The Bends, but this new one is no OK Computer. Instead, the Nottingham band have decided to consolidate their sound, playing up on the big emotional numbers, and are headed for territory occupied by later Oasis or Stereophonics when they stop sounding like Rod Stewart. That's not necessarily a bad idea: the moody epic "All My New Best Friends" burns with a slow fuse, like Embrace are always attempting to do, while "Speed Is In / Speed Is Out" veers erratically between a Girls Versus Boys glower-fest and straight-edge punk. Any more of this, and they could be filling those vacated stadiums. --Everett True Fragt: Ukendt! |

A Simple Twist of Fate: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]Se flere produkter fra AmazonAs a first-class conductor and arranger, you always know you're getting a complete hands-on package from Cliff Eidelman. He's never one to pop in a song or traditional tune without having done the hard work himself. For A Simple Twist of Fate, he has made a beautiful arrangement of "Red Is The Rose" for banjo and orchestra. As with much of the rest of the score, it places the film's family dramas into an everything-will-be-fine context. "Michael's Theme" is the original piece that reappears to reassure us Steve Martin is going to be OK. The composer's solo piano performance at the end of the disc is even more proof that this guy is outrageously talented. The title cue builds up to "Michael's Theme" with a wordless choir quietly doubling pan pipes and a small session orchestra proving less can be more. Like his scores for Untamed Heart or Free Willy 3, it's extremely likeable fluff. -- Paul Tonks Fragt: Ukendt! |

Radiohead Kid ASe flere produkter fra AmazonRadiohead may well be the most courageous band in Britain. Their second album, The Bends, was a success both critically and commercially, and they followed it up with an album of epic prog-rock, OK Computer, that would have destined a lesser band to commercial failure and, eventually, obscurity. Instead, it was almost universally hailed as one of the finest albums ever recorded. So it should come as no great surprise that their fourth album, Kid A, is even more experimental, owing a debt to the studio-born soundscapes of Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and even later Talk Talk. Kid A is an album that would not sound out of place on the Warp Records roster, as keyboards, sequencers and electronic effects take the place of guitars on most tracks (particularly unusual for a band that boasts three guitarists). In fact, this is an album that succeeds without rock's bombast, from the looping keyboards of album opener "Everything In Its Right Place" to the bouncing, bass-led "The National Anthem" to the album's hauntingly atmospheric highlight, "Idioteque". Meanwhile, more traditional Radiohead tracks like "How To Disappear Completely" and "Optimistic" offer a natural bridge between the electronic noodlings of Kid A and the (slightly) more mainstream-sounding OK Computer. Radiohead may well be the most innovative popular band since the Beatles; as such, Kid A represents the most successful evolution of a major British act since Sgt Pepper's. --Robert Burrow Fragt: Ukendt! |

Trisha Yearwood Songbook: A Collection Of HitsSe flere produkter fra AmazonTrisha Yearwood ended up in the middle of one of 1997's music-industry storms when her version of the big ballad "How Do I Live" aced out teenage sensation LeAnn Rimes' on the soundtrack of Con Air, an action flick everyone immediately forgot about. Also somewhat lost in the commotion was Yearwood's own honourable half-decade-plus of hits, so many that some of her best (like a masterful version of Melissa Etheridge's "You Can Sleep While I Drive") didn't make it to this roundup of singles. That's OK; there'll be another. And for now, Songbook honourably recapitulates the career so far of one of current country's most-reliables. --Jimmy A. Corrigan Fragt: Ukendt! |

Original Soundtrack Boys Don't Cry Ost (Us Import)Se flere produkter fra AmazonThe soundtrack to Boys Don't Cry--the true story of a young girl who assumed the identity of a boy to avoid the violence and crime of her past--includes everything from a haunting Bobby Fuller Four ballad ("A New Shade of Blue") to classic soul (the Isley Brothers' "Who's That Lady?") to revamped country (the members of X as their old-time country-band alter egos, the Knitters, performing Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings"). Also included are new tracks by 1980s power-poppers the Smithereens and Shudder to Think guitarist Nathan Larson. Even more remarkable is the sultry new duet between Larson and the Cardigans' Nina Persson. Even weirder is the first new track in 11 years from original New York punk rockers the Dictators (a traditional bar room romp called "What's Up with That?"), which recalls the solo work of Dictator Scott Kempner more than the band's firepower of old). Round things off with Texas legend and ex-13th Floor Elevator Roky Erickson and a good-ol'-boy Lynyrd Skynyrd tune, and you've got a solid programme without a bum steer (well, OK, just edit out Quicksilver Messenger Service's cover of "Who Do You Love?") -- Rob O'Connor Fragt: Ukendt! |

TALVIN SINGH Ha!Se flere produkter fra AmazonTalvin Singh's skill or the wonder of his music is his ability to move in between worlds. He seems just as comfortable with Hindi pop or devotional/classical Indian forms as London's jungle or downtempo styles a la Kruder and Dorfmeister. All of the new tracks contained within Ha are vocal numbers and part of the appeal must be the lure/mystery of the exotic--unless you are an expert it is impossible to tell if you are listening to Bombay pop, traditional desert song or Holy Hinduisms. The Western studio work is scrupulous and detailed: ambient textures, new tricks/techniques and his trademark drum'n'tabla version of drum'n'bass. And while you might expect hip meditation music (and he does do this at times) Talvin's rhythms and b-lines are often cranked-up, urban and propulsive. There's also a wry humour in excitable MCs dedicating tracks to the 'Bhangra boogie girls'. Not vastly different from his Mercury Prize winning 1999 debut OK this new LP suggests Singh is going deeper into his aesthetic--or getting better at what he does best. - Tony Marcus Fragt: Ukendt! |

The Enemy We'll Live And Die In These TownsSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe artists formerly known as Bridges (vocalist/guitarist Tom Clarke, sticksman Liam Watts, Andy Hopkins on bass) hail from Coventry, where they once won BBC's Coventry & Warwickshire's Band of the Month. Impressive stuff - but not many would have foreseen back then the dizzying pop heights the band would soon achieve; namely a slew of pop savvy tunes ("It's Not OK"; "Away From Here"; "40 Days & 40 Nights"), a deal with legendary Stiff imprint (home to Elvis Costello and Ian Dury), and -- now -- a triumphant debut album. We'll Live and Die in These Towns foams with the same youthful vitality that has informed The Enemy's singles to date, and showcases their key influences: The Stones, The Jam, Oasis among them. The album starts off with the blistering "Aggro," which melds heavy bass riffs and drums with an Oasis-style sing-a-long chorus. Tracks like the chugging "Had Enough" boasts an added catchiness with its doo-wop style backing vocals, while the title track could be considered as something of a Jam tribute. The band veer towards the mediocre with "You're Not Alone" and "Technodanceaphobic," but the stronger material easily overshadows the fillers, making this an accomplished debut. -- Danny McKenna Fragt: Ukendt! |

Various Artists The Little Mermaid [Special Edition]Se flere produkter fra AmazonBefore Broadway was Disneyfied and Times Square became a mall, the best Broadway musicals were being written for Disney animated features by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman. Their songs for The Little Mermaid created the mold from which their even more popular work ( Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin) would be cast. Almost every tune in Mermaid has its (slightly inferior) counterpart in Beauty, for example. But there's no topping the Oscar-winning calypso show-stopper, "Under the Sea"--in which a Caribbean crab convinces you that "Darlin' it's better/Down where it's wetter." Other songs, just as delightful, are even more impressive in the context of the movie. The rapturous "Kiss the Girl" accompanies a scene in which, despite the whispered urgings of creatures all around, the romantic hero does not act on the title's advice! That's the kind of abstract dramatic (OK, comedic) conceit you'd expect from Harold Pinter rather than Disney. And the gruesomely hilarious "Les Poissons" gives us a fisheye view of a kitchen where the seafood chef is a sort of French Ed Gein--a sadistic murderer who brutally tortures and chops up his victims, then eats them! Who says Disney never did black comedy? "...I stuff you with bread/It won't hurt, 'cause you're dead/And you're certainly lucky you are...." Lyricist Ashman may not have been Cole Porter, but he was the next best thing. --Jim Emerson Fragt: Ukendt! |

Various Artists The Rough Guide to BollywoodSe flere produkter fra AmazonWith Andrew Lloyd Webber getting in on the act, and Bollywood films making it into Leicester Square, India's film music has finally moved centre stage. But as DJ Ritu points out in her liner-notes to The Rough Guide to Bollywood, it's been a long haul to get it there. "My English India is no longer a secret," she confides with relief. The tracks she and her colleague Bhagwant Sagoo have compiled offer a comprehensive survey of Bollywood's music from the 1960s up till today: what's striking is how frequently the same few voices crop up behind the multitudinous faces to be seen on screen. The voice of Kishore Kumar--India's answer to Al Bowlly--recalls a bygone musical age of graceful elegance. Asha Bhosle shows how a voice can change, chameleon-like, to suit the needs of the moment: in one track she radiates raunchy sleaze, in another dreamy seduction, yet the shaping of the phrases remains recognisably her own. Meanwhile her sister Lata Mangeshkar is to be heard duetting with a variety of male singers. On some of these tracks the boxy acoustics betray the venerable age of the recordings, while on others you can feel the atmosphere of the club all around you. That's where these tracks have been tried and tested, and that's where they will now be most appreciated. For a different take on these same singers, check out Manteca's I Love Bollywood.

Ian Partridge Play the Game: Victorian & Edwardian Sporting SongsSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe serious approach in these performances of utter trivia--titles such as "I won her heart at billiards" and "Won't you come over and play croquet"--lend them an absurdity that their creators wouldn't have envisaged. When Sir Spencer Ponsonby-Fane penned his carol to "the joys of the gay cricket ground, with some jolly good fellows to share it," he presumably had no sense of how changing times would amplify his meaning. Likewise with the composer of the "Eton Boating Song", who wrote "Swing, swing together with your backs between your knees". All of which makes this disc a complete joy, done as it is with po-faced eloquence, restraint and delicacy. Tenor Ian Partridge and his various collaborators (The Song and Supper Club turns out to be a bunch of former choral scholars who do after-dinner entertainments) know that for the formula to work it needs a certain sympathy and earnestness, but they're not blind to the high-camp that gives the songs a life--and an appeal--beyond their period inconsequentiality. It's an hour of good, clean (OK, clean-ish) fun. -- Michael White Fragt: Ukendt! |

Radiohead Pablo HoneySe flere produkter fra AmazonIt's that old story: unknown British band gets an American hit single, gets huge off the back of that one song, and the success ends up destroying them. Fortunately, Oxford quintet Radiohead were the exception that proves the rule. Radiohead's albatross was "Creep"--a titanic anthem to paranoia, self-hatred and self-obsession, utterly huge in every way. Pablo Honey, though, is much more than filler. "Anyone Can Play Guitar" is certainly as good as "Creep"; swathed in walls of feedback, it races blindly into a apocalyptic chorus, frontman Thom Yorke singing "As the world turns and as London burns, I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar." Certainly, indie-rock seldom got better than this, and elsewhere "Vegetable" and "Prove Yourself" pulled similar pyrotechnical tricks. Pablo Honey was later superseded by first The Bends, and later OK Computer, but it's certainly much more than a curious debut. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Alexander O'Neal Saga of a Married ManSe flere produkter fra AmazonSaga Of A Married Man is the seventh album from Alexander O'Neal and although his finest hour will forever be the release of his 1987 master-piece Hearsay, which made him the undisputed king of finger clicking 80s soul and the double breasted suit, Saga suggests that he's far from done smooching with the ladies. Nor is he living on past glories. While "You're Gonna Miss Me" and "I'm There" are reminiscent of the super slick, synth bass soul of Hearsay's hits "Fake" and "Criticise", Saga Of A Married Man has the 50 year old crooner more than holding his own in the fiercely competitive world that is modern-day R'n'B. It's safe to say that the scatter-shot Timbaland style beats and string stabs of opening gambit and standout track "He Said She Said" aren't what most would expect from O'Neal. But he carries them off better than most. And with his silky smooth gospel tones and ability to sweet talk the ladies intact, tripping ballads "It Don't Matter", "It's OK" and "Last Night" put him well ahead of the likes of Montell Jordan and R Kelly in the lady killer stakes. The sickly "Happy Home" and his confusing stance on fidelity aside, as come backs go, Saga Of A Married Man is pretty damn impressive. -- Dan Gennoe Fragt: Ukendt! |
