	I M Your Man »rank: 6555 par: Leonard Cohen Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:Cohen hits his mid-career peak on l'm Your Man. Though still dark, there are touches of black humour and irony throughout and Cohen's voice was never a deeply rich. -- S. Duda Amazon.ca:Even the production, laden with synthesized strings and cooing female choruses, is wry on l'm Your Man, a definitive Leonard Cohen album. Though still touched with the tragic ('Take This Waltz,' based on a Garcia Lorca poem), the album often achieves its high points by combining Cohen's world-weariness with black-humoured evocations of social and ...		Nuages Du Monde »rank: 7316 par: Delerium Chroniques et points de vue:From : There aren't a lot of musicians who actually start a trend, but as Delerium, Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb can take credit for the ethereal-girl genre of dream-pop electronica. From early releases like Karma, which included singer Sarah McLachlan, they've specialized in a mixture of lush, almost romantic electronica coupled with female singers that tend toward the ecstatic. Their latest album, Nuages du Monde, is no exception. Fulber and Leeb bring in a host of singers, from the operatic soprano lsabel Bayrakdarian to Punjabi Bollywood singer ...
	Broken Social Scene »rank: 1681 par: Broken Social Scene Chroniques et points de vue: :Bands that draw musicians from other well-known acts are called supergroups. Broken Social Scene is a supercollective. Ranging from 5 to 17 members, the Toronto-based outfit includes musicians from Stars, Metric, and many other bands, as well as the up-and-coming Leslie Feist. Frontmen Kevin Drew (formerly of Do Make Say Think) and Brendan Canning (By Divine Right, Len) founded BSS in 1999 and their mission has stayed constant: take a deep love of indie rock and expand on that by making experimental mini-symphonies. Their latest work is not ...		Reunion Tour »rank: 6985 par: Weakerthans Chroniques et points de vue:From :This Canadian quartet has always excelled at mixing pop hooks with slice-of-life lyrics that earn comparisons to short story masters like Grace Paley and Raymond Carver. The curiously titled Reunion Tour (four years between albums but they never disbanded) ups the lyrical ante ever more with contagious tunes like 'The Last Last 0ne,' 'Hymn of the Medical 0ddity,' and 'Relative Surplus Value.' Not to mention 'Tournament of Hearts,' easily the best song ever written about the 0lympic sport of curling. Musically, if you could imagine the Mountain ...
	Night Bugs »rank: 6054 par: Sarah Slean Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Though it's her major-label debut, Sarah Slean's Night Bugs is as idiosyncratic and delightful as her indie releases. As a singer-pianist with theatrical airs, she's bound to garner comparisons with Tori Amos, but this Toronto-based 24-year-old's music has more in common with emerging singer-songwriters like Rufus Wainwright, Ed Harcourt, and her co-producer and musical collaborator, Hawksley Workman. Like those artists, Slean is steeped in the tradition of Tin Pan Alley yet determined to create a style that's vivid, flamboyant, and modern. Alternately witty and despairing, her lyrics detail ...		Twice Removed »rank: 5218 par: Sloan Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Voted the best Canadian album of all time by the readers of Chart magazine, Sloan's 1994 sophomore offering Twice Removed is also the record that scuttled the Halifax group's shot at U.S. pop stardom. The disc finds the foursome moving away from the grunge-pop of their Smeared debut and beginning to dabble in the Beatles-esque power pop that has characterized their successive albums. Hoping for a Smeared 2, Sloan's label DGC ignored Twice Removed and ultimately dropped the band, with Sloan breaking up (temporarily) shortly thereafter. Compared to ...
	In Field And Town »rank: 2225 par: Hayden Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Voted the best Canadian album of all time by the readers of Chart magazine, Sloan's 1994 sophomore offering Twice Removed is also the record that scuttled the Halifax group's shot at U.S. pop stardom.

Future »rank: 5357 par: Leonard Cohen Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Leonard Cohen's deeply personal first LPs came out at a time when many of his peers were issuing furious, counterculture-inspired rants; he clearly had little interest in sticking with the pack at the time. So it makes a certain kind of contrary sense that Cohen would put out an offbeat topical collection two and a half decades later. The Future is an odd duck of an album; it's also brave, funny, and fascinating. 'Give me back the Berlin Wall / Give me Stalin and St. Paul,' ...
	Recent Songs »rank: 572 par: Leonard Cohen Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Though he's long been revered as the brooding writer of some of Canada's most famous contemporary verse, Leonard Cohen's wicked sense of humour has often been overlooked. Rarely is the balance of tragedy and comedy as compelling as it is on 1979's Recent Songs, the low-key follow-up to the Phil Spector-produced Death of a Ladies' Man. A beguiling softness and warmth that recall his earliest recordings replace the aggression of that album. The softly strummed guitars and delicate violin lines perfectly suit the opener, 'The Guests' (also the ...

Alienware Area-51 m9750

Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.
