Spice Girls»rank: 2813par: Spice Girls
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Putting aside the Girl Power phenomenon--really, what were the chances five scantily-clad birds flashing their knickers with kung-fu kicks wouldn't make it in the music industry?--the Spice Girls really do mean something: great singles. There's not a dog in their whole back-catalogue. They kicked off their career with 'Wannabe', 'Say You'll Be There' and '2 Become 1'--that's the pop equivalent of an 0lympic gold in the triathlon. They're all here on Spice, along with ... |

Siren»rank: 6834par: Roxy Music
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Released before Roxy Music became a de facto Bryan Ferry project, but after their Brian Eno-influenced art-rock stage, Siren is a snapshot of a band in flux, and loving it. There's little of the boundary-pushing primitivism that marked their self-titled debut. Still, Ferry's youthful edge and the band's rough-hewn melodicism will shock those expecting to hear the adult-contemporary silkiness found on 1982's massive-selling Avalon. Both camps should nevertheless admire this record for so recklessly ... |

Last Resort»rank: 20000par: Trentemøller
Chroniques et points de vue:From : The Last Resort, a surprisingly accessible and wide-ranging work by minimal and tech-house phenom Anders Trentemøller, is a winter wonderland of quiet phosphorescence and pristine beats. Not that the Danish composer/producer/remixer is above contrasts, as in 'Evil Dub,' where he allows down-tuned and distorted guitars to run like the proverbial bull in a china shop of elegant, understated programming. But tracks like 'While the Cold Winter Waiting' beg comparison to the frosty, glockenspiel-laced ... |

Music for the Masses»rank: 500par: Depeche Mode
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:This album is a culmination of Depeche Mode's middle-period experimentation. More informed by Goth than techno, it is still anchored by plenty of the larger-than-life-baritone melodrama so distinctive of David Gahan's vocals. The most experimental track is 'Pimpf'--a song that heave-hoes along with the synthesized emulation of a Russian men's choir. Although nowhere near fast enough to be danceable, the commanding 'Never Let Me Down' ranks as the best single on the track, ... |

Like a Virgin»rank: 2190par: Madonna
Chroniques et points de vue::Madonna's second album was her breakthrough, thanks principally to two gimmicky hits: the sinuous 'Like a Virgin,' with its taboo-busting metaphor for that fresh, clean new-love feeling, and the cutesy, Betty-Boopsy 'Material Girl.' Most of the rest of the album, although similarly frothy, is superior to those warhorses, notably the irresistible LP tracks '0ver and 0ver,' and 'Pretender'--which adds a bit of gossamer delicacy to the mandatory bounciness. 'Dress You Up' is a Madonna classic, ... |

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.
Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
