Plans (2005)Death Cab for CutieRock This is very melodious and calm album of the very interesting indie band from United States. Sound of Death Cab for Cutie is similar to Coldplay and R.E.M.: all the tracks are slow, the musicians play acoustic instruments, drums do not dominate over them, but just support a song. I listened to this album several times during this week, and I can assert that I'm not disappointed. My favorite tracks on this album are "Soul Meets Body", "Some Day You Will Be Loved", and "What Sarah Said". In my opinion, "Plans" is quality indie album. Of course, it is not a masterpiece, but be sure you will get forty minutes of excellent music, it is guaranteed. P.S. "Plans" is a debut record of Death Cab for Cutie on the major label Atlanta. I hope the band will keep a high musical level in the future. | |
Wildflower (2004)Keiko MatsuiJazz Keiko Matsui is Japanese female pianist who performs jazz / new age music combining soft piano soloing with modernized and sometimes synthesized rhythm section. Keiko started to take piano lessons in the first June after her fifth birthday, and since then she was a clever piano learner and, after all, became a pretty successful jazz musician. "Wildflower" is my first acquaintance with the creative work of this outstanding and talented musician, and I like this album very much. Keiko plays piano calmly and softly, and I like to listen to this album when I want to relax and take a rest after a hard working day. I would recommend "Wildflower" to anyone who like soft and relaxing jazz / new age music. | |
Dopoguerra (2005)Klimt 1918Rock When I read phrase "early U2 meet Interpol and Katatonia" written on CD cover of this album, I was a bit surprised with such odd review of Klimt 1918. At that moment I had already listened to the previous album of this Italian metal band, but I had not found any similarities between Klimt 1918 and U2. However, when the second track of the album just started to play, I changed my mind immediately... As a whole, the music of "Dopoguerra" might be classified as a kind of gothic rock/metal with noticeable influences of post-punk scene of the '80s. In my opinion, this is an interesting album, but, however, I can't say it's something special. Simply good. | |
Play (1999)MobyElectronica Short, bald, poorly singing and categorically non-dancing man with nickname Moby sat in his own bedroom in godforsaken district of New York. He delved into computers, experimented with synthesizers, puffed, muttered... And one day he got out of his bedroom as superstar. Striking and melancholy harmony of the "Play" album, which has been reached by Moby thanks to his manipulations in his room, has been spreaded world-wide with over 10,000,000 copies and rewarded this bashful american with title of main electronic genius of the 20th century. The "Play" album combines dark electro-blues, pagan funk, hip-hop, and vocal samples, which, as a whole, creates wonderful electronic symphony. This album assumes living human feelings as a basis, and this music wakes up the emotions that people did't even know of. Moby is fairly considered as one of the most talented composers of the present. | |
Luxury (1999)Fantastic Plastic MachineElectronica In the middle of the '90s, Tomoyuki Tanaka, a chief editor of Japanese fashion-magazine "Brutus", just for fun originated a project called Fantastic Plastic Machine. Today he is a respectable exotic producer, DJ, an activist of the sound-recording industry, and a leader of Fantastic Plastic Machine. "Luxury" is probably the best their album. It's very dynamic, stylish, sometimes even audacious, but at the same time romantic and playful. It expands the limits of musical styles and stereotypes by combining such styles as Japanese groove, electric breakbeat, lounge, German techno, drum-n-bass, house, and others. As a result we can hear a very organic sound with influences of easy listening of the '60s, but with more complex content, playful beat, and multinational colour added by vocalists from Japan, Germany, France, and England. Tomoyuki Tanaka is a musician of the electronic renaissance, who doesn't accept any limits. | |
No Need to Argue (1994)Cranberries, TheRock This is a second album of Irish indie band Cranberries. Following up a remarkable debut album can pose quite a problem for a group, but The Cranberries shrugged off any hints of a slump. "No Need to Argue" is very good. The distinctive element of the group sound is a keening, powerful vocal of Dolores O'Riordan. Album is full of specific Irish atmosphere and melancholy. Among my favorite tracks are "Ode to My Family", "Zombie", "Empty", and "Dreaming My Dreams". "Zombie" is their greatest hit, which became a visiting card of the band. | |
