| | Keren Ann La Disparition CD - Import Keren Ann Discography of CDs
LA DISPARITION is the 2002, 11-track release by vocalist Keren Ann featuring "Au Coin Du Monde" and "Le Sable Mouvant."
French chanteuse Keren Ann follows up her La Biographie de Luka Philipsen debut with the dazzling La Disparition. It's a romantic songbook of moods and tones, and a delightful set of traditional pop songs perfect for any season. Ann's soft, wispy vocals are the main attraction simply because they're that lovely. From the innocent childlike love of "Coin du Monde" and "Surranee" to the heartbreaking sophistication of "Illusioniste," La Disparition flows without pretense and with an unspoken kind of beauty. What's even more enchanting is the more cinematic, dark-hued numbers like the sultry chill of "Sable Mouvant" and the samba-flavored "La Corde et les Chaussons." It's here that Ann truly shines as a vocalist -- a near vocal seductress is more like it -- and as a performer. She possesses similar grace to that of Astrud Gilberto and Ivy's Dominique Durand. La Disparition is a stylish look at Ann's work in progress; she's really coming into her own as a traditional pop artist. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

| | Keren Ann La Biographie De Luka Philipsen CD (2002) (Import) France
La Disparition CD music
$14.05 LA BIOGRAPHIE DE LUKA PHILIPSEN, the debut album from Isareali-born vocalist Keren Ann, includes "Seule," "On Est Loin," and 11 other tracks of unique trip-hop/French pop fusion.
Like Coralie Clément, Keren Ann may not have the widest range, but she makes the most of it. Her vocals are light, delicate, and pretty, as if she has found a way to combine talking, whispering, and singing into one fluid approach (and as if she has listened to a few Astrud Gilberto albums in her time). La Biographie de Luka Philipsen was the French singer/songwriter's debut and many of the songs were co-written with longtime associate Benjamin Biolay (Clément's older brother). Biolay also produced, played several instruments (guitar, trumpet, and trombone), and provided the orchestral arrangements. The pleasing results are somewhat like a modern-day Serge Gainsbourg-Françoise Hardy collaboration. They even duet on one song, "Decrocher les Etoiles." Consequently, Biolay has often been compared to Gainsbourg, and Keren Ann has often been compared to ...
| | Mum Finally We Are No One CD (2002)
La Disparition music CDs
$12.25 Múm's first album for Fat Cat -- by no coincidence, the label that also broke fellow Icelanders Sigur Rós -- has all the majestic synths, crackly drum machine percussion, sampled silence, and crystalline vocals you'd expect from the country that produced Björk and Sigur Rós, though with less focus on digital sound than the former and less reliance on drama than the latter. Múm is very interested in the music of sound, but Finally We Are No One never sounds like a difficult record; if it's not the instruments sounding naïve or folksy (in good ways), the lisping, childlike vocals are bound to prompt adjectives like adorable and precious. "Green Grass of Tunnel" has the sweet melancholia, coloring-book hip-hop, and slowly shifting chords of poptronica producers like isan or Boards of Canada, and also trades on the wide-eyed fairy-tale qualities of Björk. Apart from the hefty title, "Don't Be Afraid, You ...
| | Cabaret Voltaire Best Of '78/'82 CD (2002)
La Disparition songs
$10.95 Electronic music has come a long way since Cabaret Voltaire began mixing it up with machines in order to evade boredom. As primitive as Watson, Kirk, and Mallinder's early material sounds decades after conception, in the wake of countless movements within the form, nothing can take away from the fact that no one will ever approach the spectral wonder inherent in the group's early work. Just over a third of The Original Sound of Sheffield: '78/'82 -- the sister release to 2001's similarly titled anthology that covers 1983-1987 -- overlaps with The Living Legends compilation, but this disc now acts as the first place to go for early Cabaret Voltaire. The Living Legends covered roughly the same period, collecting tracks from singles, EPs, and compilations. This one opens up the scope to consider the landmark (and vastly different) post-punk LPs Red Mecca and 2 X 45, and thankfully resists the unavoidable temptation of including large chunks from both. This compilation and the one that covers the era that ...

La Disparition songs
$14.69 This is the second album by Jeff Johnson for the Origin label, even though the preceding Free was recorded at a later date than this session. Using a quartet instead of a trio format, Johnson continues to explore facets of modern creative jazz, but in such a way as not to force listeners to dissociate themselves from the proceedings. While highly exploratory, there is sufficient symmetry and melody to make the music meaningful. Johnson is joined by two of the three cohorts he has worked with previously, Hans Teuber on saxophones and Billy Mintz on drums. Joining the group for some tracks is Randy Porter on piano, which adds a bit more harmonic structure to the proceedings. Nonetheless, cerebral and meditative themes continue to pervade the performances. The title tune offers as much as any, an instance ...
