V1 Bridget Jones Diary»rank: 10199par: Soundtrack
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Helen Fielding's popular Bridget Jones character--a hapless British single gal who spends her days obsessing over men, cigarettes, and calories--has been criticized by more than a few feminists for her Cosmo girl conformist mentality. Perhaps this thoughtful soundtrack, which launches with Grammy-winning ass-kicker Shelby Lynne's 'Killin' Kind,' will make up for Bridget's self-doubt. Sheryl Crow turns in her strongest single in years, the saucy 'Kiss That Girl,' while Chaka Khan's classic 'l'm Every Woman' ... |

Headhunters»rank: 9017par: Herbie Hancock
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Keyboardist Herbie Hancock's remarkable career took a surprising turn with this funk album--one of the first jazz albums to be certified gold. Hancock's already-storied career had included an extended tenure with Miles Davis as a member of both the classic quintet of the '60s and the trumpeter's groundbreaking electric dates. As a leader, the pianist had followed a similar course, cutting both outstanding acoustic dates (Maiden Voyage, Empyrean lsles) and experimental electric sessions (Sextant, ... |

Remain in Light»rank: 5740par: 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: 3023par: 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 ... |

Simple Things»rank: 7499par: Zero 7
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Zero 7's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop (as found on their debut LP, Simple Things) would have made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chill-out connoisseurs the world over. Unfortunately, two Frenchmen beat Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker to the title of 'masters of comedown cool,' leaving the London duo to be forever called 'the British Air.' And this is fair; the similarities between Zero ... |

Speaking in Tongues»rank: 5427par: 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 ... |

Cross»rank: 4461par: Justice
Chroniques et points de vue: :Justice is the moniker of the Paris-based production duo Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Their approach to crazy-quilt dance-pop hybridism is infectious, if a tad off-putting here and there. The duo rose to fame due to an MP3 single and super smart video for the excellent, kiddy-chorused house-pop number 'D.A.N.C.E.' in 2007, and they soon thereafter signed to the suitably named label Banger. They manage to make really silly and fun music in a ... |

We Are Pilots (Digi)»rank: 7649par: Shiny Toy Guns
Chroniques et points de vue:From :There's something so apt about the band name chosen by Chad Petree and his Shiny Toy Guns playmates. Synth-driven, bright, and relentlessly safe, the plastic pop sound on We Are Pilots references the '80s even more explicitly than the Duran Duran-loving Killers. But despite the occasional chirpy electro (most directly referenced in 'Le Disko') and the Human League makeup it's intensely modern, closer to emo than New Wave. The band's debut features a two-vocal ... |

The Immaculate Collection»rank: 5396par: Madonna
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This is the perfect way to hear Madonna: no album filler, just one hit after another. As a singles artist, she works wonders: quick, danceable tunes that are occasionally 'controversial' but never set out to change the world (and don't). The lmmaculate Collection begins with her earliest work ('Holiday', 'Borderline') and matures from there ('Papa Don't Preach', 'Like A Prayer'), ending in 1990. The highlight is the inclusion of 'Justify My Love', a track ... |
