Architexts songs

There's no shortage of legendary producers in line to work with music world titans U2; when work with Rick Rubin broke off, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois stepped in. The resulting NO LINE ON THE HORIZON, 2009's offering from the Irish rockers, continues in the grand U2 tradition, as soaring pop anthems like opening single "Get on Your Boots" pair with experimental melanges like "Tripoli," on a striking album featuring touches of all the albums come before, yet hinting at new worlds for Bono to conquer.
After spending the 1990s experimenting with electronic music and returning to arena-ready rock during the first few years of the 21st century, U2 stakes out territory somewhere between those two points on 2009's NO LINE ON THE HORIZON. Enlisting its go-to production trio of Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite, the Irish quartet seems intent on crafting a quirkier companion piece to HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, and ...

There's an element of Zen that's involved when listening to Nightwish -- you don't question the pageantry or analyze the music; you just let go and enjoy the experience. Perhaps it's no surprise then that End of an Era beings with "Red Warrior" from The Last Samurai booming over arena speakers while thousands of fans roar their approval. It's a dramatic introduction for a band that specializes in theatrics, all of which are captured on the album. There's the crowd, the blast of pyrotechnics, the echo of the music filling a cavernous arena. Recording a band this layered (Guitars! Drums! Vocals! Keyboards! Backing tracks!) in a setting like this is always a risky venture, but the sound quality on End of an Era is exceptional; it manages to capture the vastness of both the venue and the act without being marred by reverberation or uneven tone. Vocalists Tarja Turunen and Marco Hietala soar above it all, their delivery all the more impressive considering that this would be their last concert together -- Turunen was dismissed from the band after the show. Fortunately, Nightwish don't appear to have brought their internal tensions on-stage. The group is in its element here, and its energy doesn't diminish a bit over the course of the two discs it takes to capture the tour-ending show. The biggest strength of End of an Era is its ability to re-create the concert experience; the band is at the forefront, but the cheering, clapping, and chanting of the crowd are included as an integral element of the music, not a separate entity. There are points on the album when this becomes a detriment (particularly during slower, quiet numbers like "Stone People"), but there's nothing more authentic on a live recording than capturing the requisite concertgoer whose duty it is to break the mood by shouting at inappropriate times.
In the end, this dedication to realism is a minor complaint when compared to the benefits, as demonstrated to great effect with the opening number, "Dark Chest of Wonders." This piece brings it all together -- the song itself, dark, theatrical and operatic, with Turunen's rich voice floating over power chords, a charging rhythm section, an orchestral backing track, and the enthusiastic crowd at her feet. It's a fine choice to open the concert, and the recording re-creates everything but the visuals. The vibe continues on "Planet Hell," the first of several songs to showcase a Turunen/Hietala duet and solos by keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen and guitarist Emppu Vuorinen. ...

Architexts album
$13.59
Rather than taking a strictly chronological tack to their comprehensive reassessment of Arthur Lyman's sizable Hi Fi Records catalog, Collectors' Choice Music has chosen to thematically pair Lyman's vintage long-players onto a series of two-fer CDs. The late-'60s offerings on this disc -- 1968's The Winner's Circle and 1969's Today's Greatest Hits -- both contain cover versions of songs that were popular chart entries and favorites gleaned from the silver screen and the Great White Way. The band that vibraphonist and arranger Lyman was holding court with during the era encompassed by these LPs featured Harold Chang (percussion), Clem Low (piano and clavinet), and Archie Grant (bass). The ratio of out-and-out rockers is far outweighed by the inclusion of show tunes. However, the overhauls of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" and the simplified samba on "Love Is Blue" are unquestionably the best fare on The Winner's Circle. "Love Is Blue" is much better here in a simpler and less dramatic setting, compared to Paul Mauriat's boorish baroque-flavored take. Other above-average to excellent outings are the two Paul Simon numbers from 1968's soundtrack to The Graduate. While "Mrs. Robinson" is given a hearty pace, it is directly contrasted by the cold and appropriately isolated "The Sound of Silence." From 1964's Fiddler on the Roof comes a post-bop jazz-infused "Sunrise, Sunset." Lyman's stylish and simple vibraphone leads lend a sonic stateliness that can often be ruined by the syrupy strings and overbearing chorales of other renditions. Turning to Today's Greatest Hits, Lyman ...
