Dramatic soprano Nina Stemme makes her solo album debut on EMI with Strauss' Four Last Songs & the final scenes from Salome & Capriccio. It would be difficult to imagine two operatic roles more dissimilar than Salome & the Countess Madeleine, but Stemme brings both of them to life. Her Salome is frenzied, & at the end, clearly unhinged, & Stemme is able to soar over Strauss' huge orchestra. In the final scene from Capriccio, she handles Madeleine's musings with warmth & power, but so ...

R.E.M.: Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck. Additional personnel: Ken Stringfellow, Q-Tip, Scott Mc Caughey, Bill Rieflin, Jamie Candiloro, Hahn Rowe. The follow-up to 2001's laid-back REVEAL, AROUND THE SUN finds R.E.M. mining a similar vein of dreamy, mellow rock. " Leaving New York" sets the tone with Peter Buck's chiming guitar & Michael Stipe's plaintive vocals at the fore, while " Electron Blue" continues the band's occasional forays into electronic territory with keyboard-driven ...

AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE is a classic of "alternative" rock. Released soon after OUT OF TIME, it shows R.E.M. on a creative roll with no shortage of original ideas. Bold songs such as ominous " Drive" & the empathetic " Everybody Hurts" demonstrated that the band were not reluctant to experiment, while the Karl Denver opening on " The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" & the elegiac Andy Kaufman tribute " Man On The Moon" were as good as anything they had ever recorded. ...

On their sixth studio album, R.E.M. dares to think positive. Songs like " St&, Get Up, World Leader Pretend" & " The Wrong Child" are a continuation of the upbeat call to arms sounded on Document's " Finest Worksong.". Green catapulted R.E.M. from campus cult favourites to rock stars of the highest order. The album contains three of the Athens, Georgia, quartet's most popular radio hits (" Pop Song 89, St&, & Orange Crush"), punching up the big rock hooks. ...

This is not a show, murmurs Michael Stipe at the start of Live at the Olympia & it's not quite misdirection. R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's { Olympia in the summer of 2007 functioned as working rehearsals for their fourteenth album Accelerate, with the band testing out each of the songs, exploring arrangements, finding breaking points, & pairing them with older songs that informed their back-to-basics move. As rehearsal, it paid off splendidly -- road-testing the material made it ...

R.E.M.: Michael Stipe (vocals); Peter Buck (guitar); Michael Mills (bass, background vocals); Bill Berry (drums). Additional personnel: Jefferson Holt, Bertis Downs. Recorded at Reflection, Charlotte, North Carolina in January 1983. R.E.M.'s full-length debut is a landmark album that set the standard for the next 10 years of indie rock. The Athens quartet combined Byrdsy, folk-rock guitar jangle with obscurantist lyrics & a post-punk compositional sensibility to create a vibrant new sound that ...

New Adventures is a snapshots-from-the-road record in the tradition of Neil Young's Time Fades Away & Jackson Browne's Running on Empty. Like them, it captures a where-am-I-&-why ambience, even with its concert & sound-check material reworked in post-tour sessions. This is very much a transitional album, its feel somewhere between the chamber-folk sweep of Out of Time & Automatic for the People & the distortion-pedal party that raged on Monster. It's the work of a band pretty near its ...

R.E.M. - Fables Of The Re-Construction (EMI Canada)

For their third album, R.E.M. made a conscious effort to break from the traditions Murmur and Reckoning established, electing to record in England with legendary folk-rock producer Joe Boyd. For a variety of reasons, the sessions were difficult, and that tension is apparent throughout Fables of the Reconstruction. A dark, moody rumination on American folk -- not only the music, but its myths -- Fables is creepy, rustic psychedelic folk, filled with eerie sonic textures. Some light breaks through
