The result of a collaboration between Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner & lead singer of The Rascals Miles Kane, The Last Shadow Puppets' debut release is a predictably epic affair. The title track single is a cinematic patchwork of Morricone-esque themes & rhythmic motifs, dashed off with the sullen Northern wit we've come to expect from Turner. With strings arranged & conducted by Owen Pallett (otherwise known as Final Fantasy), ' The Age Of The Understatement' is a musical departure fo ...

When Latin Quarter released their debut album, Modern Times, in 1986, it was so musically diverse, it seemed to be a compilation of several different bands. When Mick & Caroline was released the following year, the band was essentially the same, but their different approaches began to melt together, making this album more cohesive, if not as interesting. Late-'80s pop once again mixed with world rhythms & socially charged lyrics (courtesy of lyricist Mike Jones), creating a sound that could ...

These 12 sides represent singer/songwriter Laura Nyro's earliest professional recordings. More Than a New Discovery was originally issued on the Folkways label in conjunction with Verve Records in early 1967. The contents were subsequently reissued as The First Songs in 1969 after she began to garner national exposure with her first two LPs for Columbia -- Eli & the Thirteenth Confession (1968) & New York Tendaberry (1969), respectively. Many of these titles became international hits for som ...

As a 16-song, single-disc best-of, this does the job very nicely for those who want Nyro's best & most famous songs in one place. Only nine tracks into the CD you've already heard " Sweet Blindness, Wedding Bell Blues, And When I Die, Blowin' Away, Eli's Comin', Stoney End, & Stoned Soul Picnic, which should be enough to convince anyone that Nyro was a major singer/songwriter. An argument could be made that, as an album-oriented performer whose career spanned about three decades, ...

As its title suggests, Primavera Anticipada, Laura Pausini's first album of new material in four years, is a new chapter in the Italian singer's storied career. For the first time in her career, she had a hand in writing every song on the album (with the exception of " Antes de Irte, which was penned by one of her Italian contemporaries, Gianluca Grignani), & though as usual Alfredo Rapetti (aka Cheope) is credited as her co-writer throughout Primavera Anticipada, the songs indeed reflect aspe ...

French violinist Laurent Korcia takes another big step into the classical crossover realm with Cinema, an album on which he performs movie music. His definition of movie music is broad, including any music that happens to have been featured in a motion picture, even if it's really a classical evergreen like Vivaldi's "L' Estate (Summer) -- III. Presto, heard in the 2001 film The Affair of the Necklace or Carlos Gardel's Por una Cabeza, interpolated into 1992's Scent of a Woman. Korcia also fin ...

Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim

Laura Marling may still be young, but she certainly isnt dumb. The 17 year old small town girl - Eversely just outside of Reading (UK) to be exact - doesnt just sing about love, lust and romance but of the futility of religion, self-loathing and human psychology. The latest cutesy pop-puppet on the block, she aint. Laura has been writing her own songs for over five years, but admits that she only got good a year and a half ago when I stopped singing in an American accent.
