Vespertine»rank: 8466par: Bjork
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Ever since Björk's vital, effusive 1993 debut, her music has been increasingly intimate, gently private, and concerned with seclusion. lt's typical then that Vespertine's first single is called 'Hidden Place.' The studious solitude is rewarding, though. Vespertine is a lush, gorgeous swell of midpace electronica, symphonic strings, and Björk's uniquely alien, spectral vocals. There are fantastical wonders here. 'Cocoon' (another eulogy to withdrawal from the world) is delicate as a breath, Björk sounding too fragile to ... |

Walking Wounded»rank: 16553par: Everything But the Girl
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn of Everything but the Girl have done their share of style-hopping, from jazz pop to Britpop to orchestral pop to contemporary R&B to jazzy R&B. Their seventh album, 1996's Walking Wounded, finds the duo landing, good as new, onto the dance floor with a batch of songs based around techno-derived beats. The shift toward electronics may seem extreme for a group that courted adult audiences, but given the huge success ... |

Radio-Activity»rank: 29793par: Kraftwerk
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Kraftwerk built upon the international success of Autobahn by expanding their conceptual conceits to an album-length exploration of radio waves (and the band's other favourite wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum). Musically, the album represents a quantum leap of pop sensibility; though still distinctly a 'prog' soundscape, its brilliant melodic hooks (best represented by the title track and 'Airwaves') are organized in more traditional--read shorter--form. ln tracks such as the minimalist audio-verite 'News', Kraftwerk pay homage to ... |

Karma»rank: 5497par: Delerium
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The novelty was stripmined from ethnobeat pop long ago, and this skin-deep confection is surprising only in its lack of edge and invention. 0n the plus side, the melodies are textured and lush, the beats entrancing, and a parade of gifted singers--Kristy Thirsk, Jacqui Hunt, and Sarah McLachlan included--bill and coo impressively. Lead single 'Euphoria (Firefly)' has spark and spirit, while 'Enchanted' and 'Duende' are strong vehicles for Thirsk and Camille Henderson respectively. --Jeff Bateman |

Carnival Featuring Refugee Al»rank: 822par: Wyclef Jean
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'Taste the culture, know who you are,' exhorts a voice in the opening seconds of The Carnival. While Fugees mastermind Wyclef sets a high goal for his first solo album, essentially a follow-up to the Brooklyn hip-hoppers' multiplatinum The Score, he never succumbs to feel-goodism or preachiness while traveling the songlines. lncluding everything from over-the-top operatic scatting to Bee Gees samples and Celia Cruz as part of its rhythm nation, The Carnival proves that, 'Killing Me ... |
