Ninna Nanna

CD-Charts > Music > Rock and Indie
from: Alia Vox

Release Date February 03, 2003
Figueras offers the listener a triumphant collection of evocative songs. Let's dispense with a possible concern. This CD is sub-titled "Lullabies". Anyone going to sleep listening to Figueras should see either a hearing or a brain specialist. While they may pacify children, adult listeners will be exhilarated by the sweeping range of her voice and exquisite presentation. Figueras' expressive style simply transcends descriptive praise. From soaring appeals to the heavens to quiet, soothing reassurances, she demonstrates the magnitude of her evocative skills. One can sense constrained passion in each song as she moves from one culture to another through the collection. That one of the pieces was commissioned for this collection is further ... Read More:

The beautiful music of the Christmas holiday season is something very special to all who celebrate this wonderful time of the year so why not make it even more special with this truly glorious DVD by world famous violinist Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

Christmas Time Again

CD-Charts > Music > Rock and Indie
by: Lynyrd Skynyrd

Release Date October 02, 2000
Let's get this clear. I LOVE Skynyrd, have all their albums, rate One More From The Road in my all-time top 3, saw them the last time they played London in 97. I also think their musicians are superb, and that the band has evolved with the addition of people like Rickie Medlocke and Hughie Thomasson. But I am baffled as to why they brought out this CD - it's a seasonal recording which has excellent renditions of Christmas classics, but which will be boring and pointless come January. Was it for the money? Or did the guys do it for a joke? I'd much rather they went into the studio and used their time and resource producing something which might have relevance in 3 months - just consider that I'm still playing OMFTR nearly a quarter century after it came out. So this ... Read More:

Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Rock and Indie
by: Low

Release Date November 29, 1999
Christmas again - what better time to review Low's superb festive album which portrays a more common Christmas experience for many than the forced jollity of your Slade or Wizzard mega-hit.

This eight-track CD is a beauty. Four original Low songs show great variety - from the pure pop of `Just Like Christmas' with its sleigh bells ringing to the hauntingly spiritual telling of the Nativity in `Long Way Around the Sea'.

The cover versions of old (roast) chestnuts are simply inspired. `Silent Night' has wonderfully simple acoustic arrangement whilst `Little Drummer Boy' has never sounded like this before. It is drenched in guitar reverb and feedback a la My Bloody Valentine but is incredibly moving.

`Christmas' obviously has special ... Read More:
