Daydream Nation»rank: 2714par: Sonic Youth
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:The essential New York rock band of the post-punk era, Sonic Youth care as much about the quasi-symphonic, microtonal art-guitar music of composers like Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca as they do about the rock-song form, and with Daydream Nation, they struck their greatest balance between the two. The songs hover gorgeously for extended lengths, letting guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo intertwine fragile tonalities as carefully as it's possible to do at wall-shaking volume, while Moore and bassist Kim Gordon's untutored voices disaffectedly intone words that flirt ... |

Mezzanine»rank: 544par: Massive Attack
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:By the release of 1998's Mezzanine, critics were suddenly of the understanding that Massive Attack were one of the most important bands in the world. Bristol's original trip-hop pioneers had, on previous albums Blue Lines and Protection, fused turntable wizardry to the warmest of soul. With Mezzanine, however, the party had ended; revisiting the murky soundscapes so favoured by former partner and fellow Bristolian Tricky, the comeback single 'Rising Son' muttering edgily about 'cheap beer filled with crocodile tears', over the deepest bass. Tensions were heightened by the news ... |

Pre-Emptive Strike»rank: 8632par: DJ Shadow
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This set compiles much of DJ Shadow's pre-major label material in one convenient package in an attempt to foil bootleggers and bring new fans up-to-date in the curriculum. The results are naturally varied, but all point to a marvellous evolution of talent. The collection is kept together primarily by its propensity for jazzy beats and psychedelic loops. Shadow (né Josh Davis) moves through everything from old school funk ('ln/Flux') to grungy 1960s-style guitar rave-ups ('High Noon'). The centrepiece of the set, however, is a four-part composition called 'What Does ... |

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot [ENHANCED]»rank: 3927par: Wilco
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Named in honour of the three-word codes used by short-wave radio operators, Wilco's fourth album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot sounds like a late-night broadcast of some weirdly wonderful pop station punctuated by static and the sonic bleed of competing signals. Songs that begin with simple, elegiac grace--'Ashes of American Flags' and 'Poor Places'--end in a cathartic squall of distortion. The results can be initially jarring, but it's these tracks more than the sturdy jangle pop of 'Kamera' or 'Heavy Metal Drummer' that demand, and reward, repeated listens. Mixed by studio ... |

Cross»rank: 4148par: Justice
Chroniques et points de vue: :Justice is the moniker of the Paris-based production duo Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Their approach to crazy-quilt dance-pop hybridism is infectious, if a tad off-putting here and there. The duo rose to fame due to an MP3 single and super smart video for the excellent, kiddy-chorused house-pop number 'D.A.N.C.E.' in 2007, and they soon thereafter signed to the suitably named label Banger. They manage to make really silly and fun music in a way that frequently comes off in a pretentious manner. lt's ridiculous to name your album ... |

Oracular Spectacular»rank: 102par: Mgmt
Chroniques et points de vue: :0racular Spectacular's intriguing cover image features two members of what looks to be the Lost Tribe of Androgynously Handsome Nu-Rave Hippie Natives from Thunderdome. The boys on the cover are MGMT, the highly talented, multi-instrumentalist duo of Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden. Bowie, Muse, Pulp, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Daft Punk, and other major players in the canon of postmodern pomp-pop clearly loom large in MGMT's universe. The group's lyrics play figurative dress-up, too, as when, on 'Time to Pretend,' the pair imagine that they're already rich and famous. But ... |

Dummy»rank: 3440par: Portishead
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons, Dummy was made at the same time as a short film noir called To Kill a Dead Man, and the same approach--gloomy, tormented, and wildly melodramatic--permeates the album. 'Sour Times' (the hit in which Gibbons cries, again and again, 'Nobody loves me, it's true') and the more cryptic 'Glory Box' are the linchpins of the album, defining its sound: dark flashes of old soul and film music, dehumanised electronic bleeps, Gibbons emoting like she's consumed by shame, and ... |

Naturally»rank: 3907par: J.J. Cale
Chroniques et points de vue:Chronique amazon.fr:Ce premier album de J.J. Cale paru en 1971 aura demandé six jours de studio étalés sur presque un an. Ceci pour situer d'emblée le rythme de travail frénétique de celui qui reste le 'lézard chantant' le plus inspiré de tout l'0klahoma. J.J. y grommelle quelques mots au début de 'Call Me The Breeze', sur un fond de boîte à rythme et de guitare basique, et déjà tout est là : les ingrédients maison, le son de la guitare feutré comme une paire de chaussons, les cuivres allusifs qui viennent ... |

Psyence Fiction»rank: 9013par: U.N.K.L.E.
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Psyence Fiction is the epic brainchild of Mo' Wax boss James Lavelle and hip-hop auteur DJ Shadow. Seldom before had a project of such scope and such lofty ambition been attempted. But over three years of gestation, Psyence Fiction became hip-hop mythology, complete with a cast of international players; Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Richard Ashcroft of The Verve and Mike D of the Beastie Boys all offer vocal contributions. Psyence Fiction was blighted by its vast hype but still sounds like a box-- office blockbuster of an album. Shadow's ... |
