Karma»rank: 7135par: 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 |

Neil Young»rank: 4127par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Released in early 1969, Neil Young's first solo album is essentially an extension of 'Broken Arrow' and 'Expecting to Fly', his two most inventive contributions to Buffalo Springfield. Jack Nitzsche arranged and produced several of the tracks, fusing haunting strings and even funky female backing vocals to acoustic-oriented songs like 'Here We Are in the Years' and 'The 0ld Laughing Lady'. 'The Loner' is the one song from Neil Young to achieve classic-rock immortality, but 'l've Been Waiting for You' is almost as good, and the rambling ... |

Martha Wainwright»rank: 7289par: Martha Wainwright
Chroniques et points de vue:From :With her debut album appearing at the age of 28, Martha Wainwright has lived in a musical world since she was born. She posses a voice with timbres similar to her brother, Rufus, and to her mother and aunt, Kate & Anna McGarrigle. She also has a way of stretching syllables out for reasons at once musical and textual, very much like her father, Loudon Wainwright, from whom she's also inherited a bold autobiographical stance, albeit couched in her own particular poetics. A bracing confidence informs these ... |

Mirror Ball»rank: 4190par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Substituting eager Pearl Jam for wizened Crazy Horse, Young returns to the Ragged Glory formula--big guitars, droning rhythm, mystical poetry--for this one-off 1995 CD after a joint concert tour. Pearl Jam, especially new drummer Jack lrons, focuses Young's ideas and challenges him in ways the more forgiving Horse never does. 'Downtown' became an immediate rock-radio hit, and the song's three-chord force keeps even the lines about dancing hippies and Jimi Hendrix from getting stale. Singer Eddie Vedder shows up sporadically but makes the most of a shadowy ... |

Ingenue»rank: 8393par: K.D. Lang
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:The album on which she officially gave up on Nashville and began singing torchy, adult-contemporary pop, lngénue has been referred to by lang as her 'stalker' album for its emphasis on songs about desire and obsession. Despite such onerous implications, the album is a charmer, thanks to lang's sincerity and passion and the smoldering arrangements of songs such as 'Constant Craving,' 'The Mind of Love' and 'Still Thrives This Love.' The album's somewhat dark spirits are tempered by the campy 'Miss Chatelaine,' which lang has often ... |

Let Go»rank: 7925par: Avril Lavigne
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Alanis Morissette, what have you wrought? Even a dewy-eyed innocent like Avril Lavigne can't escape the big guitar angst of Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, the influence of which is all over the young singer's debut like cinnamon on a bun. 0pening track 'Losing Grip' and 'Unwanted' are two of the more obvious clones, while first single 'Complicated'--as undeniably catchy as it is--borrows the finger-poppin' groove of 'Hand in My Pocket.' 0h well, for an artist not yet out of her teens, Let Go is quite an accomplishment.

Solace»rank: 6190par: Sarah McLachlan
Chroniques et points de vue:From essential recording:Solace, Nova Scotian Sarah McLachlan's second album, is considerably more mature and musically sophisticated than her 1988 debut, the promising if limited Touch. ln fact, this disc is a must-have for McLachlan fans whose first encounter with her work was with her extremely popular later releases, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and Surfacing. The opening track, 'Drawn to the Rhythm,' is a habit-forming gem of a song that soars on her smooth and heady soprano and Ronald Jones's addictive drums (though the drone of the billatron in ... |
