Wow, I was quite shocked at the polarisation of the reviews of Jake's EMI releases (you just need to add the full recording of his live performance (Live Performance) to have pretty much the full works). Ah, but there is an explanation for the disappointment. Jake Thackray was a fantastic solo performer with a beautiful classical guitar style. Now helpful producers don't always recognise art, they like to domesticate it. The first CD starts with the over orchestrated LP "The Last Will and Testament of Jake Thackray" - yes they manage to musically imitate the pony's harness jingling in "The Little Black Foal". It's a bit of a teeth clencher when you know Jake well and just detracts from his dour West Riding accent and deadpan song writing. (I'm ... Read More:

An interesting release from a band who command perhaps the most loyal following of any current British band, Early Stages is an interesting diversion into the early, and most prosperous stages in Marillion's long Career [ although by no means their best period].
Essentially a run through of the bands stellar Eighties rise from early venues like The Marquee to becoming an arena act, Early Stages fills a release gap, and shows most of all that Marillion have always been glorious outsiders musically, and that their success was arguably driven, and eventually hampered by their first singer, the charismatic, Fish. Disc 1; The Mayfair, Glasgow, 1982. The fact that this early show was recorded for radio,is a real treat, ... Read More: >>More Details |

The beatles released this gem in 1965 to massive acclaim,it serves as a soundtrack to the enjoyable film of the same name,other tracks were tagged on as well to beef it up to 14 tracks and with the exception of one or two tracks,this is pop perfection,after this,the beatles changed their sound slightly and kept their momentum going.
The album features classic numbers like 'help'.'youve got to hide your love away','your'e going to lose that girl','the night before''ticket to ride' and the much covered 'yesterday',a few of the tracks dont rate as highly such as 'its only love' and 'dizzy miss lizzy' which i have never rated,not the perfection that the beatles would be more famed for but a darn good album. >>More Details |

Home is the debut album of talented Portland musician Peter Broderick and manages the not inconsiderable feat of sounding both world weary and modestly ecstatic all at the same time. What is even more impressive is that Broderick is only 21. At his age I could barely open my parents front door and would blush violent beetroot if a girl came within twenty metres of me. Which to be fair wasn't that often. Usually because I was locked in the house.
Anyway Broderick , clearly a more confident and talented individual relocated to Copenhagen to join Danish ensemble Efterklang where he spent a year learning the ropes so to speak on tour with the band. While doing this he found the time to pen the ten songs that make up Home. Using multi-tracked vocals Broderick ... Read More: >>More Details |

It's taken me a while to fully appreciate this album. At first I found it slightly dull melodically, and lacking a ballad with the same emotive power of her much-loved 'O gente da minha terra'. But it's grown on me, and those songs that have the sad beauty typical of fado music have thoroughly eclipsed the few that don't do it for me. Ten successful tracks out of 14 is pretty good value for money, I reckon. Technically, it's perfect: Mariza's voice is as pitch-perfect, controlled and expressive as ever, the musicianship and production are superb, and it's more diverse than her previous albums, with some jazzy, laidback trumpet and piano, occasional flamenco influence, and a Cape Verde-style song (featuring Tito Paris, who sounds uncannily like Cesaria Evora, ...

Rokia Traoré is better than ever. Her voice is stronger and so is the material she is performing.

If you do not want the hair on your neck to stand up and goosebumps to appear on your arm then don't buy it, because this CD is truly brilliant. It's different to his others but that is the greatness of this guy. Some of the tunes relate to his experiences in the UK and he even plays with us in Cantelowes when you hear the start of the sound track for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Hey this guy has humour as well as brilliance.
With the world falling about our ears and all the talk of greed and corruption just buy this and take your mind to some calm and peaceful place. This can really contribute to your sanity. I'm off to chill out with this CD. I have all his CDs but this is really set apart, perhaps it stands out becasue it is less traditional, please buy it and you ... Read More: >>More Details |

SONGS FROM A ROOM features many great songs such as Bird on the Wire, A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes, The Partisan and many others. In fact there is not one song on this great CD which I don't enjoy hearing over and over again. LEONARD COHEN is without a doubt the greatest artist of all times.

Loreena always has difficulty in pleasing ALL of her fans because of her 'landmark' albums, 'The Book of Secrets' and 'The Mask & the Mirror'. However, she delivers yet again with this album, which is a thoughtful mixture of old and new.
It is so atmospheric and if you only want to buy one new album for Christmas this is the one. It is wonderful to relax to. Thank you Loreena for entering our lives. >>More Details |
