Maxinquaye

CD-Charts > Music > Hip-Hop and Rap
by: Tricky

Release Date August 25, 2003
Yeah, this is good. I don't think there's a weak track on this album. As always, Tricky sounds almost asleep when he's actually part of the track - often you get other folk singing... with a bit of Tricky whispering in the background... or growling... or sounding like he's challenging the world record for speaking while holding gravel in his mouth. Smart stuff.

Is it deep? I dunno... I like it is all I'm saying... there might be a 'message' or two in the tracks - hell, it might be full of 'messages', but I just really like 'em. It chills me out to listen to this, all the songs sound pretty unrushed, like there's all the time in the world - except maybe for Black Steel and Brand New You're Retro of course.

Lyrically this album ... Read More:

Reanimation

CD-Charts > Music > Hip-Hop and Rap
by: Linkin Park

Release Date July 29, 2002
To call this album a 're-mix' of Hybrid theory, would be like saying the Mona Lisa is just 'a painting'. It's a completely successful re-working of a masterpiece and in this day and age, that's an extremely rare thing.

This album is probably my favourite out of all Linkin Park's albums, and I almost feel a little disappointed that the band haven't done similar follow up albums to 'Meteora' and 'Minutes to Midnight'. (But I still am holding on to the hope that they will!).

My favourite tracks have to be Pts. OF Athrty and Krwlng. These tracks give the original songs a complete different sound and feeling to them. A master class in originality, and I know it's been said to death in all the other reviews, but it just shows what a talented bunch ... Read More:

We Are Glitter

CD-Charts > Music > Hip-Hop and Rap
by: Goldfrapp

Release Date October 16, 2006
Usually I approach remixes with trepidation. In many cases I feel they add little to the song. At best they are an unrecognizeable mess of tempo thrown together by some dance artiste I feel I should have heard of and feel eternally ashamed that I haven't or they are filled with more padding than the wings of my first car.

This album is different. I feel here as if there has been some effort to keep the spirit of each song if not enhance it. Flaming Lip's take on Satin Chic alone is worth the price of admission not to mention one of my favs off the album Fly Me Away.

Recommended though I have a feeling it's going to be best appreciated by existing fans.

DJ Kicks - Hot Chip: Mixed By Hot Chip

CD-Charts > Music > Hip-Hop and Rap
by: Hot Chip

Release Date May 28, 2007
This one starts quite well, but soon meanders off and becomes fairly forgettable. The first track, Night Moves, brings you in nice and slow, then POW! Positive K with I Got A Man gets your hips and shoulders working. After that some enjoyable electronic noodling, which then lasts the rest of the album. It gets to the point I can't tell one tune from the next. Aside from the first 3 or 4 tracks, there doesn't feel like there is any direction in this mix, any energy, any variety. Don't get me wrong, there is track after track of great, great tunes, but considering how good Hot Chip are at creating fun, energetic and enjoyable music, this album is surprisingly flat.

Fly Or Die

CD-Charts > Music > Hip-Hop and Rap
by: NERD

Release Date March 22, 2004
The renowned producer Pharrell Williams brings his talents forward once again to the follow up album to the band's first album `In search of...' which was ok but this is by far a better buy if you're looking for exciting rock/rap music.

The most influential tracks are `She wants to move' `the way she dances' and `jump' which all provide an upbeat tone and justify the rocking genre perfectly.

Some tracks to be skipped are `Backseat love' and `Breakout' which sound awful with a backing track that's sounds uncomfortable and unjustified.

With classic rapping by Pharrell and the other members playing instruments it is an acceptable album, perhaps not worth buying but listening to if you like this type of music.

Film Works

CD-Charts > Music > Hip-Hop and Rap
by: Craig Armstrong

Release Date October 24, 2005
Excellent compilation of Craig Armstrongs film music.
Armstrong truly is a rare talent in film music scoring - these days, each composer whose name you might recognise has their own tricks that crop up time and again. Hans Zimmer has the 'soulful voice as instrument and Wagnerian epic themes', Jerry Goldsmith has the 'lush string sound with simple effective meolodies', Vangelis has the epic soaring themes market cornered...
But Craig Armstrong truly uses a large repertoire of tools to achieve whatever is needed for a certain film. This album contains romantic soft melodies gently played (Love Actually Glasgow Love theme), Driving modern dance style beats ('Ball' from Plunckett and Maclean), epic Carl Orff style choir and orchestra theatrics - (Romeo ...
