Billy Idol Greatest HitsSe flere produkter fra AmazonStop the obituary column! If nothing else, Greatest Hits proves that Billy Idol lives. And no one seems more surprised--and naturally relieved--about that than the platinum-plumed, former Generation X man himself. Save a couple of cameo film appearances and rent-a-celebrity guest slots with the likes of the Who and Black Sabbath's Tommy Iommi, the last few years have been a downhill, demon-grappling descent into ill-health and white powder abuse for the motorbike-crashing, curly-lipped "Punk Elvis". And it's been that way since 1993's rotten, futuristic concept-album flop Cyberpunk. Greatest Hits not only features Idols' first new material in years (ok, so it's a cover of a song associated with Simple Minds, but this is actually a last-minute replacement for "Bitter Pill" which will now appear on his next studio album) but it also reminds us that in the 1980s, Billy Idol--and his never-mentioned-enough over-haired guitar-slinger Steve Stevens--had the populist touch with their America-friendly, melodious alloy of metal and polished-up punk. And that situation remains. "White Wedding", for instance, is now a record as ceremonially ubiquitous as Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday". And whilst "Rebel Yell" was never even slightly rebellious or even much of a yell, it certainly made for some energetic male bonding at certain over-lubricated Rugby Club social events (also included is a acoustic version of that song from LA's KROQ radio in Christmas 1993). Greatest Hits is the most comprehensive Billy Idol compilation available. Here's hoping his imminent comeback will contribute towards making his next compilation even better. --Kevin Maidment 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. Sugar-coated escapism rules OK! --Michael Church Fragt: Ukendt! |

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! |

Camper Van Beethoven Our Beloved Revolutionary SweetheartSe flere produkter fra AmazonOK, so there's no "Where The Hell Is Bill" or "Take the Skinheads Bowling" here, but Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart does include the best ode to Patty Hearst in all of pop music: The track "Tanya" (which was Hearst's SLA moniker) brings together everyone's favorite Camper Van Beethoven elements, from Jonathan Segal's Eastern European-influenced violin work to the acid-etched wit that David Lowery would take with him to his next band, Cracker. From the traditional "O Death" to the uncharacteristically optimistic "She Divines Water" and "Life Is Grand," this 1988 major-label debut from Santa Cruz's premiere ska/polka/surf/Balkan/country/alternative/pop band is more consistent than its indie predecessors, just not as sporadically brilliant. -- Bill Forman 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! |

Anathema A Fine Day to ExitSe flere produkter fra AmazonA Fine Day to Exit, the sixth album in 12 years from Liverpool's portentous Anathema, sees them moving away from their gothic roots and towards a strange hinterland, one where the dynamics and brooding passion of Radiohead's OK Computer goes hand in hand with the dark edge of the final Soundgarden records and the full-on rock power of Cradle Of Filth. Vincent Cavanagh's deep, sonorous voice invites comparison with both Cornell and Roger Walters, and songs like the opening, piano-led "Pressure" and heartfelt title track revelin their sense of isolation and grandeur. "Underworld" meanwhile repeats the line "this feeling is over" like it's the penultimate event of the band's existence. Perhaps a little too in thrall to Radiohead in spots, this is still a powerful and moving album. --Everett! True Fragt: Ukendt! |

Dan Bern New American LanguageSe flere produkter fra Amazon"If you judge me tonight, judge me by the songs I write," Dan Bern sings in New American Language's "Black Tornado," thus serving notice that he's sick of the comparisons to various iconic songsters. Bern has never suffered from a lack of ambition, tackling pop culture and personal foibles alike with fervour and an utter disregard for taboo. Bern takes on similar subjects here, but backed by a five-piece folk-rock combo and warmly produced by Chuck Plotkin (the Dylan and Springsteen vet who presided over Bern's 1993 debut), he strips away the sophomoric gags and cloying cleverness that have plagued his past. Only the title track falls for the easy, ironic cop-out (key lyric: "OK, I guess, whatever"). Tracks like "Turning Over" ("I can't find me one new leaf worth turning over") and "Albuquerque Lullaby" ("Don't let your heart get broken by this world") are heartfelt and unforced. And while much of New American Language finds Bern mellowing into a newfound maturity, he's still happy to poke holes in hype and hypocrisy. "Toledo" offers wry tribute to "The Church of the Holy McDonald's," while the freewheeling "Alaska Highway" sucker-punches everyone from Eminem to God. -- Anders Smith Lindall Fragt: Ukendt! |

Ahn-PluggedSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe Ahn Trio's second EMI disc is a disappointment. The sisters have chosen a populist repertoire--Piazzolla, Nyman and David Bowie--for their violin, cello and piano ensemble. But, torn between the serious conservatoire and the frivolous fashion house, they have landed in no-man's land. Nyman's "The heart asks pleasure first" (from The Piano) sounds dated. David Bowie's and Pat Metheny's slushy "This is not America" is what results when pop musicians get above themselves and start to believe they can satisfy more demanding ears than those of mere head-banging art students. I cannot believe the three, who played Dvorà k, Suk and Shostakovich on their debut album, did not grow bored recording most of the 10 tracks. OK, so the disc is not wholly dull. Three of the tracks belong to the 19-year-old Leonard Bernstein's Piano Trio with its beautifully simple pizzicato second movement. The opener--Henji Bunch's Concerto for Piano Trio and Percussion--is the best track. It cracks along like a Mardi Gras house party. Some people rashly buy a disc after hearing just one track. This is for them. -- Rick Jones Fragt: Ukendt! |

Radiohead O.K ComputerSe flere produkter fra AmazonWhilst one suspects some kind of pre-millennial hysteria prompted Q magazine's readers to vote OK Computer The Greatest Album Ever Made scarcely five months after its release, it certainly doesn't look stupid up there in the pantheon. Following the hot red rock attack of 1995's The Bends, OK Computer heads out into the cold deep space of prog-rock and comes back with stuff that makes mere pop earthlings like Stereophonics tremble. Whilst the eight-minute-long "Paranoid Android" comes across like "Bohemian Rhapsody" with a gun held to its head, and "Electioneering" is a little too like a kiddy-version of Blood And Chocolate-era Elvis Costello to be truly revelatory, the rest of OK Computer spans the sublime to the ridiculously sublime. Thom Yorke had been obsessed with Ennio Morricone during the recording of the album (in a haunted mansion, fact-fans), and it shows on the expansive space-dream of "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and the endlessly comforting closer "The Tourist". And if neither "No Surprises" (played on a toy guitar with Yorke and Ed O'Brien harmonising like a two-man Crowded House) nor "Lucky" (recorded in one day for the Bosnian aid album War Child--it reduced Yorke to tears the first time he heard it played back) make the hairs on your skin spit with electricity, then maybe you're with the Q reader who voted for Anita by Anita Dobson. --Caitlin Moran Fragt: Ukendt! |

Dandy Warhols Odditorium Or Warlords of Mars [CD + DVD]Se flere produkter fra AmazonGet beyond the ridiculous name and doubly ridiculous concept--in brief: the Dandy Warhols invented rock'n'roll sometime not long after World War One--and Odditorium Or Warlords Of Mars finds these Portland stoners on trippy good form. Gone is the arch social satire that drove numbers like "Bohemian Like You", but agreeably present and correct is the lust-for-life edge that powered the shoegaze-tinged popscapes of early Dandys albums like 1995's Dandys Rule OK? The epically-stoned "Love Is The New Feel Awful" sets the tone, Courtney Taylor-Taylor's breathy vocals sprawling luxuriantly across the song's first six minutes, before everything gradually disintegrates in a bad trip of caterwauling free-jazz trumpets; meanwhile, "Smoke It" - a rambunctious, party-time hymn to hedonism - further enhances the narcotically-enhanced mood. Arguably, the album's highlight comes with "All The Money Or The Simple Life Honey" - a Stonesy, number that builds from minimal beginnings into a horn-laden anthem beamed in from some seedy `60s pool-hall. Over a decade in the game and the Dandy Warhols still sound like they're having a ball: either it's something they put in the water in Portland, Oregon, or the drugs are still most definitely working - Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Jewel SpiritSe flere produkter fra AmazonIt's time for an update of our image of Jewel, the ingenue who set the music world on fire with her 1995 debut album, Pieces of You. After all, that effort consisted primarily of songs Jewel had written several years before, some of them dating back to her days as a free- spirited waif living in a van on the beach in San Diego. Now, at 25, she's become a sort of guru for self-expression and full disclosure, revealing perhaps too much of herself in see-through dresses worn to awards shows and a critically drubbed (yet bestselling) book of poetry. Spirit makes plain why Jewel's well-intentioned yet sometimes facile lyrics strike a chord with her audience while her poetry lies flat on the page. On songs like "Deep Water", "Hands", and "Down So Long", her words are borne aloft by sparkling melodies and her soaring voice, making even the most cynical observer take a schoolgirl-notebook image such as "your heart like grape gum on the ground" or an unreassuring platitude like "If I could tell the world just one thing / It would be that we're all OK" somewhat in stride. On Pieces of You, Jewel posed the musical question "Who will save your soul?" On Spirit, it sounds like she wants to do it herself. And the truth is, if you don't overanalyse it, the album does act as a sort of balm for wounded psyches or maybe a primer for raising your own inner child. Maybe she's right and we are all OK.

Franco The Rough Guide to FrancoSe flere produkter fra AmazonWith the world-music scene increasingly dominated by who's on tour and what's hot in the shops, The Rough Guide to Franco uncorks a rare vintage from the past. L'Okanga Landju Pene Luambo Makiadi, usually known simply as Franco, was also nicknamed the Congo Colossus and the Wizard of the Guitar. For that was what this formidably talented boy from the market district of Kinshasa had already become when--working with a home-made instrument--he was spotted at the age of 11 and trained up into the biggest star in Congolese dance music. This fascinating disc, compiled and noted by Franco's biographer Graeme Ewens, follows his artistic growth from his teens to the final defiant anti-Aids polemic recorded shortly before his death in 1989. What Franco and his colleagues in the celebrated OK Jazz band did was to reappropriate the African music that had been developed in Cuba. But in reclaiming it they turned it into something specifically Congolese, as these tracks show, with the aid of a stunning cavalcade of singers and instrumentalists. Franco's provocative defence of his flamboyant lifestyle comes over in the talking-blues numbers but they all justify his band's motto--"Enter OK, leave KO'd". --Michael Church Fragt: Ukendt! |
