| | Daniel Lanois Shine CD Daniel Lanois Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Coming a full 10 years after Daniel Lanois' last solo album, SHINE in many ways picks up exactly where FOR THE BEAUTY OF WYNONA left off. Actually, it sounds like that album's low-key atmospherics married to the superstar cameos of Lanois' debut, ACADIE. Emmylou Harris contributes vocals to the almost-spiritual opener, "I Love You," while Bono co-writes and sings the admittedly U2-like "Falling At Your Feet." The star-cameo trend takes a strange turn on "As Tears Go By" (not the Stones song), which is built, Moby-like, around a sampled steel guitar line by the late blues pioneer Charley Patton.
After that opening trio of guest star showcases, SHINE calms down a bit and slips into a typically loose, vaguely mysterious groove powered by Lanois and his longtime collaborator Malcolm Burn's twangy guitars and ghostly keyboards. Nearly a third of the 13 songs are instrumentals, with the spooky "Transmitter" and the simply gorgeous, pedal-steel-driven closer "JJ Leaves LA" among the album's highlights. Of the vocal songs, the peak is the hymn-like "Slow Giving," on which the album's spiritual preoccupations coalesce into something genuinely grand and powerful.
Includes Canadian only bonus track "Red".

Rolling Stone (5/1/03, p.52) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...SHINE has more than Lanois' famous polish; it achieves a real quiet beauty..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/2/03, p.71) - "...Over languid guitar, his shy, dusty vocals wander in search of love..." - Rating: B
Uncut (5/03, p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...There are a handful of stunning instrumentals, but the revelations here are Lanois' singing and songwriting..."
Magnet (4/03, p.96) - "...The obviously gifted Lanois proves extremely proficient: as musician, singer and sonic architect..."
CMJ (03/31/03, p.8) - "...Soaked in subtle whispers of his past production accomplishments....SHINE exhumes an almost forgotten blues, folk and gospel presence that sounds like a faint masterpiece bleeding through the wall..."
Mojo (Publisher) (4/03, p.108) - 3 stars out of 4 - "...Throughout, he sings intimately, no grand delusions....SHINE is an intriguing portrait of a civilised chap in turmoil..."

 $8.99    
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about ...

Shine CD music
$12.39 
STUMBLE INTO GRACE was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Over three decades into a highly successful career as an interpreter of other writers' material, Emmylou Harris beats the odds by releasing her second consecutive album of original compositions. She's had plenty of time to learn from the best, and the lessons gained from digging into the work of writers like Gram Parsons, Leonard Cohen, and Townes Van Zandt can be felt here, even if she can't be expected to equal their mastery. ...

Shine music CDs
$11.59 
On 2003's TINY VOICES, singer/songwriter Joe Henry sets about immersing the listener in a dreamy, anachronistic atmosphere that's both inviting and slightly foreboding. Continuing in the inventive, mood-driven vein that the Los Angeles-based troubadour established in earnest on 1996's TRAMPOLINE, Henry conjures up a woozy jazz vibe throughout much of this record, aided ...

| | Them Wranch Medium Rare CD (2001)
Shine music CDs
$7.29
Utilizing all things eclectic, from early Velvet Underground stomps to a twangy delivery by lead singer Andy Ranch a la Buck Owens, the album is a rollicking adventure of quasi-cosmic rock, punk and seediness. Despite the occasional hysteric utterances, the musicianship is first rate. Although a lot of the songs are under three minutes, the vast energy and oomph in each number is a tribute to a band that knows what it wants and how to get it. Lyrically a bit simple and structured, the trio feeds off each other to fully compensate and poetic shortcomings. Notable high points include (You Make Me Feel So) Smoky and High At Sweet D?s, inane but contagious diatribes. There is the occasional hue of surf guitar, but the majority of the record sounds beautifully dated and sonically crude. Short and to the point, Medium Rare is indeed a sleeper pick. ~ Jason MacNeil
The dirty face of rock has brushed the crust from its eyes and Them Wranch want to play it for you, your sweetheart, and all your friends. Let it be said that much in the way of way out sound is where Them Wranch take you. You might make some reference to this or that; such as the band's love of psychedelia, soul, blues, country, and their dedication to all sounds primitive and groove oriented. But then you would be spending too much time on the subject and not enough time moving, dancing, or fucking to Them Wranch.I mean that's what Them Wranch is all about, right? It's not about slamming into your neighbor and pushin' 'em down. It's about sliding next to 'em and holdin' 'em up, real close. If you're one of the lucky ones to catch Them Wranch live you know what I mean. If you're not one of the lucky ones then listening to the disc you have now will take you there. Listening to this disc is like walking down the street, coming to the bar door and goin' inside as Them Wranch fires it up. It's like bein' there without leaving your living room. And we know how you all love to live in that room. Some of the tunes on this record may make you feel like you're gettin' real close as you slink your way into the sweaty crowd. Other tunes will make you feel like you're sittin' in a dark corner booth with one you love or one you hope to love. Yet, other tunes will make you feel like you're lucky enough to take that special person home for the night. Once you get them home it's up to you, but Them Wranch may be able to help you out. If you slip this disc on there are tunes for foreplay, play, and cuddling.Them Wranch consists of Andy Ranch (singing and guitar), Gerry Morrison (bass and singing), and 1/2 of the defunct Hairy Patt Band, Joe Patt (singing and drumming). Gigging locally, regionally, and releasing several 7"s since 1996 Them Wranch released their first full length "Big Noise From East Maynard" in 2000 and went nationwide. The band has toured the country several times on their own and with England's extraordinary Country Teasers. After rejecting offers and huge sums of money from hundreds of record labels ...
| | 27 Songs From The Edge Of The Wing CD (1999)
Shine songs
$20.95
"Songs From the Center of a Melancholic Living Room" is more like it, seeing as this darkwave pop album was recorded in just that: a living room and practice space. This at-home freedom was able to capture a special organic atmosphere that's unrivaled by most studios. Hailing from Massachusetts, 27 features members of Dirt Merchants, Anodyne, and La Gritona. This female-fronted act is beautifully bleak, blending patient sparse acoustics (á la Slint), with a dark droning atmosphere filled with ethereal brilliance (á la Swans or Beyond Dawn -- same difference!). Maria Christopher's enchanting voice is subtle, yet it replicates her true inner ...
