In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003»rank: 7333par: R.E.M.
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:ln 1988, REM were a cult on the cusp of major success. ln 1992 they were somewhere close to being the biggest band in the world. ln 2003, they're marginalised again, a middle-aged institution purportedly on the wane. Still, uninformed listeners to ln Time might find it tricky to work out which songs come from which era. The 18 singles collected here in non-chronological order show a band that's operated at a terrifyingly high ... |

Remain in Light»rank: 6365par: Talking Heads
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Way back in 1980, the original wave of Talking Heads fans were pleasantly stunned to hear Remain in Light, produced and co-written by Brian Eno, on which Byrne and company are joined by guitar god Adrian Belew, and funk legends Bernie Worrell (keyboards) and Steven Scales (percussion), among others, for a fuller, funkier sound nobody imagined they had in them. The first three songs are long, layered, full-body dance parties, with incessantly repeated phrases ... |

Play»rank: 3829par: Moby
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:The great iconoclast of techno returns with a smooth, sacred, and exhilarating record. Play's concoction of breakbeat rhythms, ambient mixology, and inspired blues and gospel samples cry out across musical genres and histories, imparting a time-tested wisdom to beat-driven ears. Moby's devout faith--in both God and his own musical whims--give this approach a sort of legitimacy that another, less sincere artist would never have. That sincerity reverberates through the beats and instrumental eclecticism ... |

Elliot Smith»rank: 12959par: Elliot Smith
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Recorded mildly better than his debut (Roman Candle on Cavity Search), the self-titled second solo album is one of the most understated and incredible albums to emerge from the indie-rock scene in the 1990s. With his nimble picking fingers behind him, Smith writes sad, little songs about drugs and romantic codependence that border on the obsessed. 'Needle in the Hay' and 'The White Lady Loves You More' are exemplary tunes that fuse the ... |

Speaking in Tongues»rank: 5943par: Talking Heads
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:0bserve as David Byrne finally learns to dance. Non-Western sounds and funky rhythms had infected Talking Heads' music prior to this 1983 pop breakthrough, but Speaking in Tongues is where the beat truly gels. The band's quirky, nerdy persona somehow blends easily with music borrowed from the African Diaspora on 'Stop Making Sense' and 'Burning Down the House'. The album also marks one of the last true band collaborations, before Byrne reduced his partners ... |

Yellow House»rank: 578par: Grizzly Bear
Chroniques et points de vue:From : lt's a rare thing to find a band that counts the glockenspiel, autoharp, banjo, and flute as key instruments, especially when it's a rock band with just four members. Grizzly Bear use all the above instruments plus another dozen or so to make the 10 floating, gossamer, low-lit tunes that comprise Yellow House. They are rounded edges, off-kilter waltzes ('Lullabye,' which teeters tipsily), laconic vignettes, and even a vintage 1930s waltz written by ... |
