LL Cool J Mr. SmithSe flere produkter fra AmazonWith more than 14 years as a continually viable, visible recording artist, LL Cool J--the once and future James Todd Smith--sets the pace for hip-hop artist longevity. Though with five consecutive platinum albums he's long since qualified for his rap star pension, why stop the old guy when he shows no sign of slowing down? On 1995's Mr. Smith, the 27-year-old LL's "self"-titled sixth album, the rapper keeps running like an aged marathoner: past his prime and no longer winning medals, perhaps, but still in full stride and doing a lot better than you could. At this point in his career, though, LL seems concerned with retaining the credibility of his Queens, New York, past while submerging deeper into a Hollywood future. Conscious of--and not fully resistant to--the fact that he's fast becoming recognized more as sitcom star than as rap pioneer, LL goes out of his way on Mr. Smith to provide his résumé. He recaps successes on "I Shot Ya," remembers those who paved his way on "Hip Hop," and even pumps a little hardcore on "Life As ..." But ultimately LL's just acting tough, not living tough. While he claims one song won't "be getting no airplay" due to its heavy profanity, in reality the vocals are heavily expurgated. LL tries to play both sides, but he can't escape his nice-guy, TV-ready self. He even celebrates his second career on "Hollis to Hollywood," a rap full of movie wordplay ("I'm making Speed like I'm Keanu Reeves / But too many True Lies can make a honey bleed"). And of course, Mr. Smith is best when he's just playing the ladies' man: "Hey Lover" waxes R&B sultry with Boyz II Men on vocals, while "Doin' It" and "Make It Hot" get down-and-out sexy over impeccable tracks. --Roni Sarig Fragt: Ukendt! |

Original Soundtrack TrafficSe flere produkter fra AmazonThis taut thriller bringing Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones together in director Steven Soderbergh's look at the unwinnable war on drugs features a subliminal, seductively ambient soundtrack that pulses with a sense of doom. Composer Cliff Martinez, who worked for a spell with Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, enlists Chili Peppers' bassist Flea and jazz keyboard legend Herbie Hancock for two tracks, then fills out the rest with lush symphonic scores. Additionally, tracks from Fatboy Slim, Morcheeba and ambient pioneer Brian Eno shake things up a bit. One song ("The Police Won't Find Your Car") has been omitted from the film, but is included here as a bonus. -- Rob O'Connor Fragt: Ukendt! |

Raymond Scott The Music of Raymond Scott: Reckless Nights & Turkish TwilightsSe flere produkter fra AmazonPrewar gems from a long-neglected master. Scott's career as composer, bandleader, and electronic-music pioneer is just beginning to be rediscovered. Here he mixes swing jazz with classical forms, exotica (long before there even was such a thing), and his own hyperactive melodies to create a timeless sound. Many of the bouncy tunes are recognizable from their constant use in cartoon soundtracks over the years: the classic "Powerhouse," a jittery mix of an edgy scherzo and a relentless march (as well as a favorite of Looney Toons composer Carl Stalling); the jaunty "The Toy Trumpet"; and the dizzying "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals." Scott's original recordings with his Quintette (which, strangely enough, consisted of six musicians) are a delight, and the invention and energy never let up. --Heidi MacDonald Fragt: Ukendt! |

Brian Eno My Life in the Bush of GhostsSe flere produkter fra AmazonReleased in 1981, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is a collaboration between ambient pioneer Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. On Ghosts, the two strong-willed musicians manage to come to a meeting of the minds, blending Byrne's herky-jerky funk with Eno's atmospheric sound sculpting. More than anything, this is a large album, intent on pushing itself to the front of the listener's consciousness. Abundant percussion (everything from booming tribal drums to eerie electronics) reverberates in the background while Byrne and Eno toss all manner of found sounds, field recordings, and radio broadcasts into the mix. What results is a groundbreaking album that introduced a generation to the dazzling possibilities offered by electronic recording techniques. Highlights include "The Jezebel Spirit", an electro-funk workout that uses a recording of an exorcism as its focal point, and "Very, Very Hungry", a mysteriously ethereal display of electronic percussion and large-scale sonic architecture. --S.

Brian Eno Drawn from LifeSe flere produkter fra AmazonAmbient pioneer Brian Eno has devoted much of his time to producing and making art than to his own music in recent years. Drawn From Life, his first album since 1997's The Drop is a collaboration with German percussionist and hip-hop DJ J. Peter Schwalm. The resultant sound is distinguished not by any move into the territory of urban beats but diverse, syncopated but determinedly downtempo, spatial rhythms. The 11 tracks all fall into the category of moody soundscapes--film scores for arthouse projects, but they're far from unapproachable--"Like Pictures Part 2" recalls "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" with minimal spoken word from Laurie Anderson over a sighing handclap rhythm, tinkling vibes and eastern strings, "Rising Dust" twinkles to a warm fuzz of electronica and vocodored piano. Meditative and absorbing, Drawn From Life is a counterpoint to silence. -- Mike Pattenden Fragt: Ukendt! |

Mirwais ProductionSe flere produkter fra Amazon"Disco Science", his toweringly provocative debut single, demonstrated that Parisian producer, Mirwais' disco roots are evident but also distorted and twisted out of all recognition by wild pitch-shifting and taste for acid bassline. Production only emphasises this by taking some of the most popular sounds from late Seventies and early 80s dance floors--Moroder beats, vocoders, analogue synth sounds-- and wilfully hammering them into fresh shapes on numbers such as "Naive Song" and "Junkie's Prayer". Mirwais' skills brought him to the attention of Madonna who sequestered them for her album, and returns the favour with this album's centrepiece number, "Paradise Not For Me". This exquisite blend of French monologue and treated English vocal married to swelling synths indicates why Mirwais was seen as the hottest, most chic French electronic producer from an apparently endless line of talent that continues to emanate from the city. Elsewhere Mirwais offers a nod to his compatriots on "I Can't Wait" which matches a pulverising stop start Daft Punk rhythm to buzz saw bleeps and also New York on "Definitive Beat", a juddering breakbeat layered with skidding turntable scratches. A devastatingly original album from a true pioneer. -- Mike Pattenden Fragt: Ukendt! |

Beastie Boys To the 5 BoroughsSe flere produkter fra AmazonTo the 5 Boroughs, the Beastie Boys' first LP in six years, is a thunderous return to form. Dispensing with the electro experimentation of the more challenging Hello Nasty, the boys get back to basics, seeming to sense that the time is exactly right to launch the return of their old-skool sound. Lead single "Ch-Check It Out" blows open the doors, with its booming meaty beats and funky vibes, reminding us just how exciting the rap-rock genre was back in the day when these guys helped pioneer it, before all the whiney "Limp Linkins" came along and commodified it. To the 5 Boroughs captures the sound of the Beasties in their prime, spitting invective (as on the Bush-baiting "That's It That's All") over urgent bass-driven cuts with fortysomething voices that are as fresh as ever. They may be less concerned now with the Party than with a picnic ("grilled cheese", "flapjacks", "matzoh", "cholla", "falafel", "gorgonzola", "spaghetti" and "chicken tikka" all get a shout), but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. With age has come Buddhist-influenced wisdom, and gone are the misogynistic tendencies of old; these days they're more likely to be rapping about "the beach" rather than a bitch. Though these Beasties bring a message of love ("we gotta keep the party goin' on; all lifestyles sizes, shapes and forms") they're tighter and truer than ever. --Paul Eisinger Fragt: Ukendt! |

Gary Numan Living Ornaments 1979: Live at Hammersmith Odeon 28th September 1979Se flere produkter fra AmazonThree live albums that capture synth pioneer Gary Numan at the peak of his powers, Living Ornaments '79, '80 and '81 - the first two recorded at Hammersmith Odeon, the third an epic `farewell' to the fans staged at Wembley Arena - are triumphant testaments to entertaining rock largesse. Nothing wrong with '79, exactly - within, there's fine takes on early Numan staples "Cars", "Are Friends Electric?", and "M.E". But it's the other two that ought to be big news for Numan fans. '80 will spark the plugs of the obsessives: over double the length of the lacklustre ten-track effort that first emerged in the Spring of '81, it completes the full performance using some recently rediscovered, digitally remastered footage taken direct from the mixing desk. Meanwhile, `81 is probably the pick of the bunch. Blessed with an expansive sound, and captured shortly before Numan started to lose control of his unstable muse, it sees him survey the landscape of Replicas, The Pleasure Principle, and Telekon with imperious poise and immaculate showmanship. The only regret is that you can't see the elaborate stage-set. --Louis Patterson Fragt: Ukendt! |

Original Soundtrack 28 Days LaterSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe soundtrack to Danny Boyle's end-of-the-world flick 28 Days Later is as bleak as you might expect from a film that involves deranged, blood-spewing zombies and the destruction of modern civilisation as we know it. While there are a few "names" here--in the shape of American power-pop band Grandaddy, ambient pioneer Brian Eno and dance producer Blue States--the majority of this record consists of John Murphy's original cinematic score. The music owes a little to Eno's darker musical experiments and a great deal to the strangely beautiful doomscapes practised by fiercely anti-corporate Montreal-based orchestral group Godspeed You Black Emperor (whose music actually appears in the film, but never makes it as far as the soundtrack album). Walls of bleak but elegiac feedback and avalanche drums rolls are separated by caustic drones and passages of eerie near-silence. This dark drama is somewhat relieved by stark, choir-sung interludes that add a religious, redemptive feeling and by the occasional foray into crystal-clear electronica. Danny Boyle also directed Trainspotting, but you won't be able to file this next to that film's OST in the pop section of your music shelf. However, fans of a darker, more cinematic sound will be well-served by this chilling record. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

David Bowie All Saints: Collected Instrumentals 1977-1999Se flere produkter fra AmazonAll Saints collects some of David Bowie's best instrumental work from his previous albums. And his timing couldn't be better: Embarrassing drum & bass excursions, a dalliance with pantomime Goths Placebo, stock-market flotations, Tin Machine--all have meant that loving the alien has not been easy during the last 17 years or so. Which helps explain why this collection of instrumentals verges on an epiphany, offering a stark reminder of the sheer mind-boggling scope of Bowie's sound and vision. Most of these 16 brooding soundscapes are plucked from Bowie's hugely influential 1977 albums Low and Heroes. Taking his cue from Kraftwerk, Bowie enlisted Brian Eno--ex-Roxy Music boffin and ambient pioneer--and decamped to Berlin. It's no exaggeration to say that the resulting albums were integral in defining the future path of modern music. Throughout, there's a palpable sense of foreboding, perhaps best exemplified by "Sense of Doubt", a truly unsettling mesh of booming piano and spookily spiralling synths. That the Thin White Duke's Berlin material still dazzles is no surprise. However, it's the remarkable revelation--provided by a clutch of slightly more recent tracks--that he can still cut it--that'll hearten disillusioned Bowie fans everywhere. --Chris King Fragt: Ukendt! |

Vangelis Alexander: Original SoundtrackSe flere produkter fra AmazonPut the saga of history's greatest overachiever--Macedonian emperor Alexander the Great had conquered 90% of the pre-Christian world before his death at 32--in the hands of Hollywood's favourite over-reacher, Oliver Stone, and the result is three-hours of epic blood 'n' bathos. The soundtrack by Greek synth-score pioneer Vangelis Papathanassiou may be bookended by heroic orchestral/choral pomp of suitable scale and melodic dignity, but they buttress a far more compelling cocktail of primitive martial rhythms ("Drums of Gaugamela") and ancient ethnic-folk conceits ("Roxanne's Dance"). Though his film scores have become increasingly rare since the twin breakthroughs of his Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire and the sci-fi masterpiece Bladerunner, his work here argues that Vangelis' restless curiosity and musical range have only blossomed in the ensuing decades. With the exception of the final, club-targeted bonus cut, gone are his once overt electronics, replaced by a more organic, post-modern sense of fusion that evinces itself seductively on cues like "One Morning at Pella" and "Eastern Path." Elsewhere, cuts like "Across the Mountains" and "Tender Memories" are powered by Vangelis' trademark graceful lyricism, a trait that helps set this score apart from sword 'n' sandal contemporaries like Gladiator and Troy. --Jerry McCulley Fragt: Ukendt! |

Chemical Brothers Come with UsSe flere produkter fra AmazonIf anyone's suffering from new-year blues, Come With Us will shake them out of their narcolepsy. This fantastic album roars out of the starting blocks like a supercharged dragster, blowing up a heady fume of hip-hop techno flavoured with the Chemical's new found post-rave happiness. Their fourth album shows all the passion of their earlier works coupled with a sophistication beyond the mere wish to knock people's musical heads off. Impressively after over six years of making music and touring they've lost none of their enthusiasm. In fact their longevity seems to inspire them to greater achievement in a field that traditionally feeds off the new, the novel and the young. Best of all, the Brothers have developed the ability to communicate heartfelt emotions, evident on tracks such as the Beth Orton sung "The State We're In", the Pink Floyd-like "Pioneer Skies" and magnificent album closer "The Test". That doesn't mean that there aren't the "traditional" Chemical Brothers' dancefloor killers. The opener and title track "Come With Us" is easily the pulsating equal of "Hey Boy Hey Girl" or 1995's "Block Rockin' Beats". Both already released singles, the bizarre "It Began in Afrika" and the Donna Summer-meets-Kraftwerk blur of "Star Guitar" are included in their original form. They're probably the album's weakest tracks. The Brothers have moved on, yet they're still as good as they were. Go with them. -- Jake Barnes Fragt: Ukendt! |

Future Sound Of London LifeformsSe flere produkter fra Amazon"Dead Skin Cells", "Cerebral", "Spineless Jelly": the song titles on the second full-length from U.K. duo Future Sound of London (a.k.a. Gary Cobain and Brian Dougans) almost read like chapter subheadings from a Biology textbook. And not without reason. Evolving beyond the florid environmental techno of their previous Accelerator and the hit single "Papua New Guinea", Lifeforms concentrates on Future Sound of London's painstaking construction of tiny, crystalline arrangements of organic sound. Guest stars include Curve's Toni Halliday, percussionist Talvin Singh and guitar pioneer Robert Fripp, but you'll be as hard pressed to identify their individual contributions once they've been diced and folded into the mix. Too animated to be tagged "ambient", yet not as propulsive as earlier Future Sound of London offerings, the intricate charms of Lifeforms proliferate with repeated listenings. --Kurt B.

Bela Fleck Tales from the Acoustic Planet [Us Import]Se flere produkter fra AmazonBéla Fleck, the banjo-wizard leader of the fringe-jazz quartet the Flecktones, returns to more-bluegrass-oriented concerns with this 18-song outing, a complement to 1988's Drive and a more-traditional follow-up to 1995's fusion-leaning Tales from the Acoustic Planet. Most of these songs are instrumentals boasting Drive's core group of Sam Bush on mandolin, Stuart Duncan on fiddle, Tony Rice on guitar, Jerry Douglas on Dobro, and bassist Mark Schatz; they're augmented in spots by fine guest players such as Vassar Clements, John Hartford, and the incomparable banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs. Fleck's spidery, tasteful plucking style lends originals like "Major Honker" and "Katmandu" an ever-so-slightly offbeat air, while he gives classics like Scruggs's "Foggy Mountain Special" and "Polka on the Banjo" traditional readings that wouldn't be out of place at the Opry. Flecktones fans will find much to like in Fleck's rootsy playing, and so will bluegrass purists. --Gregory McNamee Fragt: Ukendt! |

Fear Factory DigimortalSe flere produkter fra AmazonFear Factory's fourth album, Digimortal, finds the hirsute Los Angeles industrial metallers happening on a theme that they've been alluding to throughout their 10 year existence; a concept album about the synthesis of man and machine, its 11 tracks showcase a mishmash of screaming electronics and punishingly low-end death metal dynamics. Guitarist Dino Cazares and drummer Raymond Herrera served tenure in the none-more-metal Satanic terrorist troupe Brujera shortly before the release of Digimortal, but such straight-ahead metal antics have not dulled Fear Factory's silicon edge. The scattershot riffage of "Damaged" is undercut by furious distorted synth-lines, and the hyper-tense "No One" showcases sirens stolen straight from the Chemical Brothers' box of old-school rave machinery. Meanwhile, while there's nothing quite as startling as "Obsolete"--a track from the 1999 album of the same name that featured vocals from synth pioneer Gary Numan--the beatbox-based "Back The Fuck Up", featuring Cypress Hill's B-Real, stands a good head and shoulders above the ham-fisted rap-rock fusion peddled by many of Fear Factory's peers. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Tracey Thorn Out of the Woods [VINYL]Se flere produkter fra AmazonOut Of The Woods is the first solo album from Tracey Thorn for over two decades. The Great British public probably know Thorn best as the voice of Everything But The Girl's 'Missing', the Todd Terry mix of which hit No.3 in 1994 and hung around in the Billboard Top 100 for over a year. That huge hit, however, is somewhat deceptive in the context of Thorne and her partner, Ben Watt's 25-year career. Out Of The Woods, like much Everything But The Girl before it, is a set of torch-songs versed in the production techniques of clubland, but shot through with a melancholy soul more familiar to jazz or folk-rock - or, indeed, cosmic disco pioneer Arthur Russell, whose 'Get Around To It' Thorne covers here, and all but makes it her own. Lyrically, events hint at a certain domesticity: 'Nowhere Near' is a delicate song about motherhood sung over shimmering synths, piano, and pipes, while 'Hands Up To The Ceiling' seems to be about finding sanctuary in a record collection, Thorne sneaking to an attic to spin "Siouxsie Sioux, and Edwin too/ Bobby D, in '63". Those eager for Thorn to reprise 'Missing', however, maybe be satisfied by 'Grand Canyon' and the closing 'Raise The Roof', two potential club hits in the waiting. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Pierre Henry Metamorphose Messe Pour Le Temps PresentSe flere produkter fra AmazonIn 1967, Michel Colombier and musique concr�te pioneer Pierre Henry achieved surprising success on the French charts with four instrumental compositions that incorporated rock guitars and synthesizers with Henry's trademark spliced magnetic tapes. To celebrate that release's 30th anniversary, several hotshot European remixers went to work on "Teen Tonic," "Jericho Jerk," "Too Fortiche," and the most famous of all, "Psyché Rock." The result is a superior showcase of just about every style in today's electronic music, from St. Germain's acid-jazz to Tek 9's hyperventilating drum and bass to Dimitri from Paris's easy touch. While many dismember the songs, it's a testimony to the awesome staying power of "Psyché Rock" that it survives assaults by Ken Abyss, Fatboy Slim, William Orbit, and Coldcut, and always sounds utterly colossal. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Fragt: Ukendt! |

Chris De Burgh The StorymanSe flere produkter fra AmazonOn 2004's The Road to Freedom, power-pop pioneer Chris de Burgh mined the rich seam of British folk to construct an emotive yet relatively unsentimental set of songs. Perhaps buoyed by the critical success of the album - it was largely hailed as a return to form -- he now returns with another 'concept' album, Story Man, which this time explores the idea of story-telling throughout different global cultures. Comprised of 12 tracks -- six of them recored at Abbey Road during a live session with 90 members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - the album is more epic in scope than its pared-down predecessor and inevitably calls upon a variety of vocalists and musicians from around the world. The London Russian Choir appear on the yearning wartime ballad "Leningrad", Egyptian vocalist Hani Hussein sings on the Middle-Eastern tinged "My Father's Eyes", and renowned female African group The Mahotella Queens chant beautifully for the questing "Spirit". However, not every track is a success. Though the album flows coherently, there is a marked difference in quality between, for example, the restrained folk of "Mirror Of The Soul" to the alarmingly clichéd "One World" or the schmaltzy "The Sweetest Kiss Of All". An ambitious and impassioned project it may be, but the results are at times rather mixed just the same. --Paul Sullivan Fragt: Ukendt! |

As guitarist with Brisbane delinquents The Saints, Kuepper had been a pioneer of punk rock, and as mainstay of The Laughing Clowns, he had managed to produce a strain of avant-garde rock that actually had tunes in it. Electrical Storm was the most straightforward album Kuepper had been responsible for so far--a collection of abrasive, mournful tunes laced with Kuepper's guttural vocal and lashed with some dazzling guitar playing that transcends the obvious budget restrictions. The title track is a small masterpiece. --Andrew Mueller Fragt: Ukendt! |

Susumu Yokota Grinning CatSe flere produkter fra AmazonSusumu Yokota came to the attention of the clued-up musical public with Grinning Cat's predecessor Sakura, a minor ambient classic that found this homely Japanese sound technician showered with critical plaudits, and compared--not without good reason, we might add--to 1970s ambient pioneer Brian Eno. While Eno's classic Music for Airports was a muzak benchmark for sound in the public sphere, Yokota's muse follows an urge towards the bliss of privacy; Grinning Cat is, Yokota explains, an album about living out a domestic fairytale with his girlfriend and a family of cats in the quiet suburbs of Tokyo. Its essence is the exquisitely layered minimalism of "King Dragonfly" where hands clap, drums pitter-patter, wind chimes gentle sway and an acoustic guitar is neatly picked to create an ornate, yet uniform tapestry of sounds--but deeper into "Grinning Cat", more disquieting moments simmer. On "Fearful Dream", psychedelic pipes and an atonal banjo strum bubble under the gentle, stuttering loop of sparse piano, while album closer "Lost Child" breathes spectral hushes and unsettling glitches through alternate speakers in the most disconcerting manner. Still, Yokota is only playing; Grinning Cat is a perfect find for fans of the quiet stuff--warm, comforting and always welcoming to visitors. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |
