Verve Urban Hymns [VINYL]Se flere produkter fra AmazonCalling it a day in early 1999 was probably the best thing the Verve ever did, as it meant that they quit when they were at the pinnacle of their success, sparing their faithful followers an unsightly degeneration. Urban Hymns is a fitting final testament to Wigan's favourite sons, as Richard Ashcroft and Nick McCabe temporarily buried the hatchet and reformed one of Britain's greatest songwriting partnerships since Lennon and McCartney. From the unmistakable introductory chords of "Bittersweet Symphony" to the sheer pop perfection of "Lucky Man" via stoner rock-outs like "Weeping Willow" and the call to arms that is "Come On", every track justifies its presence by being part of a cohesive whole. Their previous album A Northern Soul was already marked down in the annals of rock history as a classic; Urban Hymns surpasses it and then some. --Helen Marquis Fragt: Ukendt! |

Diáspora SefardÃSe flere produkter fra AmazonJordi Savall, Monterrat Figuras and Hespérion XXI pioneered the revival of early Spanish repertoire more than two decades ago, releasing classic recordings such as Secular Music from Christian and Jewish Spain. Their experience reaps tremendous dividends with the two-CD set Diáspora SefardÃ. This is music of the Sefardim, the Spanish Jews exiled in 1492, but extends beyond the expected repertoire to include later music from those who settled as far away as Rhodes, SofÃa and Sarajevo. The first disc is a programme of romances, Montserrat Figueras giving deeply impassioned performances pitched between heartrending elegy and searing eroticism. Compared to the cool perfection of the version by Florata on Magnificentia Iberica, El Rey de Fancia comes alive with an earthy engagement which rivets the attention, while an epic of betrayal, Nani, Nani, harnesses monumental emotional intensity. Throughout, the playing is superb, but inevitably the musicians really come into their own on the second CD, a set of instrumentals and improvisations, including the slow-burning rapture of Axerico. Here is 130 minutes of incredibly evocative, primal music with the potential to go way beyond the early music market and become a huge hit with followers of folk, world, jazz and perhaps even rock. Quite simply, a great recording. -- Gary S Dalkin Fragt: Ukendt! |

Piano Music [IMPORT]Se flere produkter fra AmazonZez Confrey (1895-1971) may not be a household name, but his 1921 masterpiece "Kitten on the Keys" certainly is. The Illinois-born composer studied the classics growing up, but somehow the temptation of Vaudeville sneaked its way into his compositions and he found success writing catchy ragtime miniatures with goofy names ("Wise Cracker Suite," "Dizzy Fingers," "Blue Tornado"). Republic of Georgia pianist Eteri Andjaparidze performs 24 of Confrey's works with technical perfection and plenty of spirit--two requirements for these compositions--but sounds a tad robotic on some numbers. Between "Kitten" and 1959's "Fourth Dimension," Confrey explored blues, rags, Latin rhythms, and--of course--jazz, but the real highlight here is a slow number, the four-movement Moods of a New Yorker. In sum, this a great tribute featuring great music, perfect for fans of George Gershwin, Ferde Grofé, Jelly Roll Morton, and Joseph Lamb. --Jason Verlinde Fragt: Ukendt! |

Beatles Love [VINYL]Se flere produkter fra AmazonIt begins with a twittering of birdsong lifted from "Across The Universe". And once the triple-tracked a capella harmonies of "Because" enter, followed by snatches from "A Hard Day's Night" and "The End", leading into a fired-up "Get Back", it becomes obvious that this is far more than just another Beatles compilation. This is "Love", conceived by the Fabs' former producer George Martin and son Giles as a stageshow soundtrack to Cirque de Soleil's Las Vegas spectacular of the same name, but appears to have taken on a life of its own. Where The Beatles' last release 1 delivered the (over?) familiar hits in a nice simple package, this is a mélange of the familiar and obscure, all literally mixed together in one 78-minute audio collage which succeeds in reminding the listener just why The Beatles truly are, as Lennon put it "toppermost of the poppermost". There's no new Beatles material per se, but the songs are all approached differently--some are cut together in a flawlessly mixed medley (check out the "Mr Kite/I Want You/Helter Skelter" moment), some reassemble different backing tracks and vocal performances to create new spins on old classics, but all the songs are revitalized considerably. Even in its weakest moments (which probably work better in the context of the show itself), it's still a formidable prospect, and one has to admire Martin's willingness to go out on a limb with such a project. While purists may complain that the cut'n'paste nature of the project is simply tampering with perfection, at the very least it'll make them reach for the originals and enjoy them all over again. For newcomers and everyone else, it makes a fine listen, both in its sonic clarity (the actual tracks are the best they've sounded on CD) and audacious nature. --Thom Allott Fragt: Ukendt! |

Wilco Being ThereSe flere produkter fra AmazonWilco's follow-up to A.M. impresses first with its size: 19 tunes fill the double-album package, and the packaging unfolds like a larger-than-life 1970s-era gatefold album cover. But the love affair with the artwork is short-lived, fading as the music takes center stage, making plain the band's overwhelming stretch into innumerable styles. Jeff Tweedy's love of pop and the mechanics of making pop albums is clear almost immediately, as he and his cohort utilize the studio to create and manipulate undertows and snaky recorded elements throughout many of their tunes (a keyboard touch, a guitar's flair, a cymbal's unexpected crash). There are the plainspoken acoustic numbers, recalling Tweedy's tenure in Uncle Tupelo, and there are also unwinding swoops of tinted, guitar-heavy rock--one of which collapses into chromatic jabs at a piano only to resolve in silence on "Sunken Treasure." Oodles of influences fill Wilco's collective mind, and they're perfectly content to pile the trace elements atop each other and make scrambled pop perfection. --Andrew Bartlett Fragt: Ukendt! |

Drifters The Very Best of the DriftersSe flere produkter fra AmazonA by-the-numbers, chronological collection that hits all the commercial highlights of the Drifters' Golden Era (1959-64)--after the frequently dazzling early records with Clyde McPhatter, but featuring the consummate vocal stylings of Ben E. King, Rudy Lewis, Johnny Moore, and more on 16 memorable hits. Among the pinnacles: "There Goes My Baby", the record whose unsettling, soaring strings launched the soul era; the romantic perfection of "Save the Last Dance for Me", "This Magic Moment" and the catchy, Latin-bouncing "Sweets for My Sweet"; and the eternally evocative cityscapes of "Up on the Roof", "Under the Boardwalk" and the stark, gritty "On Broadway". Sleepers include the heartrending Bacharach ballad "Please Stay", "I Count the Tears" (ripped off later on the Grass Roots hit "Let's Live for Today") and "When My Little Girl Is Smiling", on which strings foreshadow the folk-rock movement. This is an ideal starter kit on these seminal uptown soul pioneers; those seeking further revelations (and there are plenty of them) are referred to Rockin' & Driftin': The Drifters Box. -- Ken Barnes Fragt: Ukendt! |

Van Morrison MoondanceSe flere produkter fra AmazonVan Morrison went a long way towards defining his wild Irish heart with his first two classic albums: the brooding, introspective Astral Weeks and the expansive, swinging Moondance. If the first was the work of a poet, its sequel was the statement of a musician and bandleader. Moondance is that rare rock album where the band has buffed the arrangements to perfection and where the sax solos instead of the guitar. The band puts out a jazzy shuffle on "Moondance" and plays it soulful on "These Dreams of You". The album includes both Morrison's most romantic ballad ("Crazy Love") and his most haunting ("Into the Mystic"). "And It Stoned Me" rolled off Morrison's tongue like a favourite fable, while "Caravan" told a tale full of emotional intrigue. Moondance stood out in the rock world of 1970 like a grown-up in a kiddie matinee. -- John Milward Fragt: Ukendt! |

Prokofiev: Symphony No.5 / Stravinksy: Le Sacre du printempsSe flere produkter fra AmazonSet down in September 1968, Herbert von Karajan's Prokofiev 5 has long enjoyed classic status and for many collectors it remains the best version ever. More than three decades on, DG's bright, glowing recording still sounds pretty lustrous (if perhaps a little light in the bass), while the Berliners respond with tremendous fervour, wondrous breadth of tone and exemplary discipline. Karajan's actual reading, though a little too smooth-edged for some tastes, is paced to perfection, full of epic grandeur and always searingly concentrated. And what of the Stravinsky coupling? Well, this same team's earlier 1964 recording of the The Rite of Spring came in for some stinging criticism, not least from the 82-year-old composer himself (who hailed the finished article "a pet savage rather than a real one"). Here DG gives us Karajan's remake of 13 years later, a harder-edged, leaner beast than its predecessor, crisply engineered to boot. The virtuosity of the BPO is as compelling as ever, though it's still all perhaps fractionally too urbane and lacking in choreographic flair to be entirely convincing. No matter, this remains a notably generous and self-recommending reissue in the Deutsche Grammophon Originals series.-- Andrew Achenbach Fragt: Ukendt! |

Gladiator: Music from the Motion PictureSe flere produkter fra AmazonBack in the Golden Age of the Hollywood epic, composer Miklós Rózsa lavished much scholarly research on his scores for Quo Vadis (1951), Ben-Hur (1959), El Cid (1961) and others, gracing those movies with music that had as its wellspring authentic (or at least authentic-sounding) melodies from the period. For Ridley Scott's revival of the Roman epic, Gladiator, Hans Zimmer eschews such learned academia in favour of his own more contemporary, wall-of-sound approach (honed to perfection on movies like Tony Scott's Crimson Tide). In truth, no one is quite sure what Roman music sounded like, and Zimmer's unscholarly rock music background is temperamentally better suited to Scott's all-action movie anyway. Gladiator's score is a stylistic conflation of some audacity, incorporating lavish synthesised, percussive action sequences (a Zimmer trademark), "ethnic" instrumentation including Spanish guitar, Chinese dulcimer and Armenian duduk, and--most suprisingly of all for Zimmer--unabashed plagiarism of Wagner (his cue "The Might of Rome" is "Siegfried's Funeral March" in all but name) and Holst ("The Battle" and "The Barbarian Horde" lean heavily on "Mars"). Vocalist and co-composer Lisa Gerrard (fresh from working on The Insider, coincidentally also starring fellow-Australian Russell Crowe) adds her ethereal vocalisms to the music's more intimate scenes ("Sorrow" and "Elysium" for example). Her contribution brings an exotic, Oriental flavour to a score that in its broad musical canvas reflects the movie's depiction of the vast scope of the Roman Empire. If not the equal of Zimmer's career best work on The Thin Red Line (1998), this is still a hugely entertaining and diverse soundtrack. -- Mark Walker Fragt: Ukendt! |

Reich - Tehillim; Three MovementsSe flere produkter fra AmazonSteve Reich is the self-renewer of his one-time minimalist peers, able to revitalise his output just at the point when accusations of resting on laurels start to surface. By 1980, he had seemingly exhausted the possibilities of eight years of harmony-based writing, and aural wallpaper felt worryingly close. Tehilim changed all that: with its grounding in Hebrew cantilation and complex though always dancing rhythmic surround, this was Reich at his absolute best. The four Psalm texts--never so literal as to be settings--form a half-hour vocal "symphony", in impact though emphatically not in conception. The first and longest demonstrates to perfection Reich's method of deriving more from less; textures are spare and streamlined, but capable of great intricacy--the passage from roughly 4'30'' is a wonder of metrical freefall. The closing minutes have a sense of release rare in music of any period. De Leeuw's performance is a marvel of accuracy and energy. Don't worry that the accompanying Three Movements is Reich at his dreariest: Tehilim is one of the most joyous half-hours you'll ever spend. --Richard Whitehouse Fragt: Ukendt! |

Gary Burton The New TangoSe flere produkter fra AmazonRecorded within eight weeks of Tango Zero Hour, the recording Astor Piazzolla voted, rightly, as his career's best, this Suite for Vibraphone and New Tango Quintet reaches similar heights of perfection. Vibraphonist Gary Burton made high marks early in his career with the superquartet recording Duster (which featured guitar great Larry Coryell and jazz vets Steve Swallow on bass and Roy Haynes on drums) and the jazz expanse of Genuine Tong Funeral. With Piazzolla's last quintet, Burton creates a stirring, metallic counterpoint to the group's sliding melodies and gut-grabbing rushes of tango sensation. This is certainly no lighthearted dance music, much more brainily reaching for compositional greatness while simultaneously staying physical. All the cylinders were firing during this live Montreux Festival recording. Piazzolla's energy has delicate brushstrokes and sweeping blasts, as does guitarist Hector Malvicino and the quintet's other luminaries. --Andrew Bartlett Fragt: Ukendt! |

Staple Singers Let's Do It AgainSe flere produkter fra AmazonAlthough the film is obscure, the soundtrack is essential- as part of their magnificent efforts to bring everything Curtis Mayfield-related to the digital age. Charly Records have reissued Let's Do It Again. And when you have one of the pioneers of soulful Southern funk writing for possibly the greatest soul/ gospel crossover act (both at the top of their game), what can you expect other than true excellence? In fact, the only thing that loses points here is that fact that there's only eight tracks on it; what is on there, though is largely faultless. The songwriting is Curtis Mayfield in pure, soulful, laid-back mode (think of "Give Me Your Love"), which, coupled with Mavis Staples' incredible voice treads the fine line between seductive and spiritual, and firmly succeeds in both camps. The title track (a minor hit) simply smoulders, while "New Orleans" is as sensual as silk sheets. Only the instrumental "Chase" seems pedestrian, but that might be down to the absence of any vocals. Everything else is truly brilliant, showcasing the best of Mayfield's writing abilities and the Staples' vocal talents; for any fan of soulful laid-back funk, this is as close to perfection as you can get. - Thom Allott Fragt: Ukendt! |

Maximo Park Our Earthly PleasuresSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe second album from Newcastle's Maximo Park, Our Earthly Pleasures confirms its creators to be one of the UK's more idiosyncratic indie outfits - the sort of bookish, educated rockers for whom intelligence means something more than reading a book while you're having your photo taken. Not only does vocalist Paul Smith boast the sort of wit and wisdom to rhyme the words "hypothetical", "alphabetical", "theoretical" and "dialectical" (see 'A Fortnight's Time') without coming off as a pretentious try-hard, the songs Maximo pen zip along with a gleaming tunefulness and athletic agility that denies any obvious musical influence. Much here is concerned with collapsing relationships, although Smith takes a more circuitous route than most though the familiar territory of a love song: 'Our Velocity' treats male-female communication as a cipher to be cracked, while the chiming 'Books From Boxes' takes stock of a love affair of a relationship from its accumulated paper trail. Far from being introspective and self-absorbed, however, Our Earthly Pleasures is an energetic, vibrant affair, thanks in part to the work of Pixies producer Gil Norton, who thickens up Lukas Wooler's synth and hones the band dynamic to quiet/loud perfection. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Kanye West Late RegistrationSe flere produkter fra AmazonFor haters eager to see Kanye hit a sophomore slump--no such luck. Late Registration can't replicate the novelty of last year's College Dropout, but otherwise, this is an impressively more mature and labored-over album. Lyrically, Kanye's only improved a notch but musically, the album sounds incredible, especially with co-producer Jon Brion helping polish the songs to perfection. Tracks like "Heard 'Em Say" (featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine) and "Hey Mama," are richly textured in their soulfulness while the flint-edge of "Crack Music" and "Gone" (feat. Cam'ron) will appeal to the street-oriented. There's a few duds on here--the sickly-sweet, syrupy "Bring Me Down" (feat. Brandy) being one of the worst offenders--but when the album's good, it's very, very good. In short, Kanye's detractors may not be swayed in their resistance to his charms but not only will his past supporters be rewarded but Late Registration has enough appeal to earn new crowds of fans. --Oliver Wang Fragt: Ukendt! |

Max Roach Clifford Brown Clifford Brown And Max RoachSe flere produkter fra AmazonThis is the classic Brown-Roach Quintet at its peak. Clifford Brown, who died in a car crash 1956, aged 25, was a young man of sunny disposition and becoming modesty, who came as near to perfection as any jazz trumpet player is ever likely to get. The sheer relish which he brought to the job seems to have set the tone of the whole band, because it made one of the most joyous, spirit-lifting sounds in the whole of jazz. Max Roach's endlessly imaginative and vital drumming added intensity to the mixture. The overworked term classic applies to such tracks here as "Joy Spring" and "Jordu" and "Parisian Thoroughfare", and anyone with a taste for jazz has only to hear them once to understand why.-- Dave Gelly Fragt: Ukendt! |

Beach - Chanson d'AmourSe flere produkter fra AmazonOn this disc of works by Amy Beach, Emma Kirkby, doyenne of the early music scene, shows that she's just as comfortable in music of a more recent vintage. Amy Beach was a woman ahead of her time, performing as a solo pianist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra by the age of 18. The same year (1885) she married Henry Beach and, no longer able to perform publicly (it would have gone against her social status), she instead settled down to composing. And delightful stuff it is too, as Kirkby and friends demonstrate in this charming recital. A number of the songs add violin, cello or both to the piano and voice combination. "Ecstasy", for instance, has a most effective violin part which is an ideal foil to the purity of Kirkby's voice. Other highlights include the Schumann-esque Browning Songs and the amiable Shakespeare Songs (the last of which, "Fairy Lullaby" is irresistible) while the final item here, "Elle et moi", is an upbeat number which suits Kirkby's lithe soprano to perfection. Occasionally, in some of the more lushly textured songs, such as "A Mirage" and "Stella Viatoris", perhaps a fuller voice would have been preferable, but then sample "Chanson d'amour" (written when Beach was only 21 and with a wonderful cello part in addition to the piano) and try to imagine it being better sung. The purely instrumental items are played with unfailing sensitivity and elegance. The Romance is straight out of the salon, while the much later Piano Trio (though actually based on early material) packs plenty of emotion and variety into its 14 minutes. The recording is exemplary, as are the concise notes and texts and translations. -- Harriet Smith Fragt: Ukendt! |

No Doubt Return Of SaturnSe flere produkter fra AmazonAfter No Doubt sold more than 10 million copies of Tragic Kingdom, riding that wave of success without toppling over must have been a daunting mission. No sweat for No Doubt. The band had toiled as unknowns with a loyal local following for a decade before that album's release, and during that time the band members were learning how to be better songwriters and musicians. The follow-up, Return Of Saturn, glides along that continuum of songcraft perfection. The band presents a cleaner, less apologist representation of their influences. They pull off some of the more difficult manoeuvres of pure reggae, ground-pounding ska, and Cars-esque New Wave. Gwen Stefani belts a powerful pout, her Mae West-meets- Siouxsie Sioux vocal bravado is the bungee cord that springs in between the band's retro tendencies and SoCal pop-punk attitude. Songs such as "Bathwater" and "Ex-Girlfriend" reveal the singer's vulnerability to being hurt or dumped on, and the band's sense of humour and exploration (albeit firmly controlled) matches the songs' sentiments. This group is growing out and tightening up, and while the rest of the ska-punk surfer-dude bands do nothing more than repeat history, No Doubt is creating it. --Beth Massa Fragt: Ukendt! |
