 (1 Customer Review)
The Norwegian band a-ha had never really been away, so the 2006 album Analogue was hardly a comeback but a continuation of their 20-plus years of hitmaking. If anything, it was a return to form after the disappointing Lifelines album. The opening track, "Celice," was released in Europe only and featured Morten Harket's trademark falsetto vocals over a beat driven song. Pål Waaktaar's fuzzy guitar dominates "Make It Soon" but Analogue is mainly a very laid-back album, only a few of its 13 tracks are up-tempo in the style of their classic era "Take on Me," and most of the tracks are piano led, melancholy ballads including "Cozy Prisons," "Birthright," "A Fine Blue Line," and "The Summers of Your Youth." Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young lends his backing vocals to the tracks "Cozy Prisons" and "Over the Teardrops" and makes the harmonies on the latter song sound almost like one of CSN&Y's own. Halfway through the album comes the track "Halfway Through the Tour," a synth-beat number over seven minutes long. It's a strange song which appears to finish at the standard three-minute mark but then continues for a further four minutes as a flute instrumental with echoes of "Nights in White Satin." The first single to be released in the U.K., "Analogue (All I Want)" became their first Top Ten single since 1988's "Stay on These Roads." ~ Sharon Mawer
'Analogue' is the eighth studio album by Norwegian superstars A-Ha. One of the most popular Norwegian bands of all time, A-Ha's distinctive sound coupled with lead singer Morten Harket's incredible falsetto has wowed audiences for over two decades, and this new album shows real progression without straying too far from the band's trademark sound. Includes the single 'Celice'. Universal. 2006

RHYTHM AND COUNTRY is a collection of previously unreleased studio outtakes by Elvis, recorded at Stax Studios in July and December of 1973.
Elvis Presley recorded his studio albums live, leading his band through take after take until he was satisfied with a recording's feel. Producer Felton Jarvis kept the tape rolling throughout these sessions, never knowing when the group would nail its final take. As a result, the RCA vaults are full of Presley studio tapes. Some of these tapes have been released through the ESSENTIAL ELVIS series, of which ELVIS RHYTHM AND COUNTRY is the fifth volume. This disc documents Elvis' two 1973 marathon sessions at Stax Studio in Memphis, during which he produced material for the albums GOOD TIMES, PROMISED LAND, and RAISED ON ROCK.
RHYTHM AND COUNTRY allows listeners to hear Elvis and his band without the added backing vocals, horns, strings, and percussion that often mar Presley's '70s albums. Even better, it includes snippets of Presley singing "Columbus Stockade Blues," "Muleskinner Blues," and "Softly As I Leave You" between takes. Still, the recordings Elvis completed at these sessions are not among his greatest work, mostly because the songs themselves are not as strong as Presley's performances ...

A-Ha keep on right on ticking via LIFELINES, an album which proves the "Take on Me" trio were no one-hit wonder.
A difference from their last effort yet undeniably a-ha. This time, the Norse purveyors of quality pop have opted for a variety of producers, ranging from Stephen Hague to Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley. The album begins with a lush ballad -- which is typical a-ha, pastoral with support orchestration -- almost like a modern day Moody Blues. "You Wanted More" also follows this trait, only darker with spiky electronics. "Afternoon High" sketches out '70s pastel glory similar to what Tears for Fears were getting at with parts of the Seeds of Love album. There are shades of Minor Earth Major Sky in that they keep the sugary neigh pleasant ballads vein to full emotional effect on "Turn the Lights Down," "Time and Again," and like MEMS's Garbage homage "Sun Never Shone." "Cannot Hide" opts for a Jennifer Paige "Crush" vibe with George Harrison-style guitar, while "Forever Not Yours"' pleasant dramatism echoes Darren Hayes' recent Insatiable. ~ Kelvin Hayes

Analogue songs
$9.79
Industrial/avant-garde rock guitar veteran Richard Franecki was at the helm of Vocokesh's fourth album, a collection of dark instrumentals evoking charred post-nuclear vistas. Three of the seven pieces were conceived as "alternate soundtrack material" to Michaelangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point and Alejandro Jodorowsky's films El Topo and The Holy Mountain. But as bleak as those weird early-'70s movies were, they were a romp in the park compared to the clangorous drone Franecki and his bandmates summon here. Franecki pulls out a bunch of stops to conjure a wide array of buzzing, scraping, reverberant textures and flutters, not only on guitar, but also on bass and electronics. If he ever met an uplifting riff or something resembling a hummable rock song structure, though, there's no evidence of it here. For the tracks are not so much tunes as pulsating waves of grim ambient sustained notes and patterns, with some faint echoes of the guitar soloing of the psychedelic era. This is suitable mood music for those in a particularly somber postmodern state ...
| | Adem Love & Other Planets CD (2006)
Analogue album
$11.59
Adem's heralded Homesongs was a paean to hearth and homestead, and it succeeded in spades by turning the intensely personal into the universal: home as harbor in an anthropological sense, the glue that binds everyone together at the same time it affords us our most intimate moments. On Love and Other Planets, Adem turns the telescope on its end, equating the far reaches of our universe with the space that exists in the closest of quarters -- between lovers, between friends, between our own perceptions and reality. It's another intriguing angle from which to launch a concept record, though Adem's intimate, stand-alone portraits certainly belie any prog-ish stereotypes -- The Wall this ain't. But Adem does make more liberal use of the cut-and-paste studio aesthetic that defined the post-rock experiments of Fridge (where he played bass), adding more textural dimensions to Love and Other Planets without sacrificing the organic acoustics of Homesongs. It's a more balanced hybrid where the electronic and acoustic meld with seamless beauty, wheezing harmoniums bleeding into textured synths, autoharps, glockenspiel, and clarion-toned acoustic guitars thrown into relief by processed samples. Percussive elements that were Fridge's bread and butter are also more central characters here. Songs like "Launch Yourself" and "You and Moon" swirl and crackle with synth washes and handclap percussion sculpted into rich backbeats. "These Lights Are Meaningful" and "Something's Going to Come" feature drums up front in the mix, adding an uptempo rock feel -- albeit acoustic-based -- to Adem's folkish inclinations. A pair of lonely laments conjuring the vastness of space, "Crashlander" is a "Space Oddity"-like tale rendered in gentle Radiohead ballad style and "Last Transmission from the Lost Mission" is accented with disembodied chimes and melodica floating past like icy space debris. But any suggestions of existential isolation are disarmed by the sonic warmth of the songs and production, and by the genuine humanism in Adem's lyrics. Disc opener "Warning Call," with its ...
