| | Weeds: Music From The Original Series Soundtrack CD (2 Customer Reviews)
As Showtime's Weeds was only halfway through its debut season when this soundtrack appeared, it's likely the set's release coincides with the start of the 2005-2006 television season and, more specifically, its network television familiar Desperate Housewives. Both shows use dark humor to needle at the front-lawn complacency and closed-door turmoil of American suburban culture, but Weeds' premium-channel status lets it get away with more. Like having its widowed main character sell marijuana in order to feed her family, for example. The Weeds soundtrack is also more adventurous in its music licensing. While the Desperate Housewives set features a somewhat predictable blend of AAA divas, Weeds has incidental music scored by the Pixies' Joey Santiago, cheeky musical allusions to its root subject (NRBQ's "Wacky Tobacky," "Ganja Babe" from Michael Franti & Spearhead), and selections from critical darlings like Nellie McKay ("David") and Sufjan Stevens ("All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands"). There's also vintage soul from Marion Black ("Who Knows," from the incredible 2004 collection Eccentric Soul, Vol. 1: The Capsoul Label) and off-the-beaten-path stuff from the Mountain Goats and Vancouver, B.C.'s Be Good Tanyas. Weeds also ends with a quirky classic from L.A. terror folk duo Hill of Beans. With its devil's deal premise and air of crazed sarcasm, "Satan Lend Me a Dollar" embodies not only the show's theme but the half-smile and perpetually raised eyebrow of Mary-Louise Parker. ~ Johnny Loftus

Two years on from the conceptual innovations of THICK AS A BRICK, Tull had learned how to crystallize the creativity of that prog-rock masterpiece and incorporate it into more traditional song structures. Thus, the songs here are full of daunting time signatures and dazzling feats of instrumental derring-do, but all in the context of shorter, more concise composition. There's also a darker edge to things here, as introduced by the tumultuous ...

Cirque Du Soleil decided to try something completely new on this album. The experiment worked, but the resulting piece of music is very different from any other album in the renowned company's discography. Instead of hiring one or two lead female singers, the production team went with a male baritone (Richard Price, Craig Jennings) and a child soprano (Amelie Landry). Some songs are duets, some are solo, and some are performed with the backing vocals of an entire choir. On certain tracks, most notably "Atmadja," the piping, sweet voice of the young female soloist is surreal and spooky in classic Cirque fashion. However, overall the vocals do not have the exotic, wild tone of Mystere or Alegria. A pre-pubescent singer could never claim the versatility and range of a Francine Poitras type, and, as a result, composer Benoit Jutras seems to have settled upon a more sweet, ethereal tone for the lead vocals, leaving any dramatic effects up to the male soloist or the backing choir. Interestingly, Jutras also brings some pop sensibilities into play at rather unpredictable times: "Let Me Fall" is closer to a pop ballad than anything Cirque has ever released. ...
