 (11 Customer Reviews)
What do you get when you combine a producer/electronics whiz who's worked with Madonna, Bjork, and Seal, and a distinctive, charming female singer? Judging from the results of Frou Frou's debut album details, you get a duo capable of combining complex, arresting sonic vistas with very organic, intimate vocals to fine effect. From the dreamy, hypnotic quality of the opening track "Let Go" to the airy, Beth Orton-like "Hear Me Out," Guy Sigsworth consistently manages to find just the right setting for Imogen Heap's up-close vocal style. Whether Sigsworth is employing delicate ambient textures, gentle trip-hop beats, or near-techno dance arrangements, he's perfectly in tune with both the mood of the song and the breathy-but-confident delivery of Heap. There's an audible air of artistic simpatico between the two that runs throughout DETAILS and makes the whole thing work.
Additional personnel includes: Iona Petcu-Colan (violin); Dair Malloy (glass harmonica, handbells, waterphone); Jon Hassell (trumpet); Elad Elharar (bass); Mich Gerber (bowed double bass); Makoto Sakamoto (drums).

This album from Frou Frou is a "must have" - no doubt about that. It is just fantastic alternative acid pop. The best track is probably the single "Let Go". All there's left to say is: BUY IT ... NOW!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Blow my ears this amazing album!!!
Is amazing how looking for some good chillout in this 2006, I found this exceptional example of good and well produced music. The experimentational sounds with a lovely voice from a beautiul women (who is smart, of course, for not wasting her time on silly pop and stupid lyrics. Even if the album is from 2002, you have to get it! This is one of the best albums ever produced!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Amazing Album
Great album.
If you compare Imogen Heaps vocal's to her vocals in her solo styles before she did Frou Frou, you can see a huge difference. For example, compare "Angry Angel" with "The Dumbing Down of Love". They way she sings now and has matured is GENIOUS.
I love it!

Purchase Details CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Shirley Horn I Remember Miles CD (1998)
Details album
 $12.39   
I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the ...

On December 31, 1962, the Beatles performed the classic song "Besame Mucho" at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, in recognition of the highly emotive music from Latin America. Four decades later, RMM decided to bring the Beatles' greatest hits back, this time played by some of the most prominent Latin artists in a tropical tribute to one of the most influential acts in popular music ever. After the opening track, "Hey Jude," by Puerto Rican singer Tony Vega, Tito Nieves and the percussion virtuoso Tito Puente deliver a freewheeling "Let It Be." The Cuban soloist Guianko performs a salsa version of "Can't Buy Me Love," followed by Johnny Rivera's "Hard Day's Night." Latin diva Celia Cruz sings her own version of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," while New York-based Ray Sepúlveda and Manny Manuel do the same on "The Fool on the Hill" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand," respectively.
