| | Go Find Stars On The Wall CD Go Find Discography of CDs
Belgian quartet the Go Find have a winning way around low-key but lush electronic pop that suggests everything from Isabelle Antena to St. Etienne and the underrated Surf, all of which can be heard in spades on their excellent second album Stars on the Wall. That said, two other obvious overarching influences are the continuing impact of Radiohead and everything after it -- lead vocalist Dieter Sermeus clearly knew what he was doing when called the last song "Kid OK" -- and what could be called the eternal Scandinavian pop continuum, an elegant blend of wistfulness, melancholia, and energy that has informed so many bands from Norway and Sweden in particular ("Downtown"'s acoustic guitar delicacy couldn't make it any plainer). Put it all together on Stars on the Wall and the result is its own beautiful melange, readily sensed in the brisk, quick kick of songs like "Dictionary," guitar-as-rhythmic glaze, and the just-heartbreaking-enough mantra of "You know/I know" on "25 Years." Happily, there are also enough curveballs thrown in via different arrangements to keep things from settling too much into one specific style. Opener "Beautiful Night" eschews percussion, while "Adrenaline," in contrast to its title, starts out very slow and ruminative, a late-night reflection if ever there was one. The banjo on "Monday Morning" is even more of a sweet surprise, while the penultimate "Everything Is Low" is a great anthem of sorts that perfectly suggests the ending to a slightly downbeat romantic film for the early 21st century. (Hopefully it won't take Wes Anderson's equivalent in 30 years time to discover that.) ~ Ned Raggett Go Find Stars On The Wall Songs | 1. | Beautiful Night |

Unknown Contributor Role: Louie Lymon & the Teenchords.
History of Rock: The 50s, Pt. 1 focuses mainly on doo wop and artists influenced by that pervasive '50s sound. Among the 24 tracks are quite a few classics like the Spaniels' "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight," Dion & the Belmonts' "A Teenager in Love," the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night," and the Dells' "Oh, What a Night" as well as some worthy obscurities like the Videos' "Trickle, Trickle," the Kodaks' "Oh Gee, Oh Gosh," and the Channels' "The Closer You Are." For variety's sake, a couple of non-doo wop tracks like the Champs' "Tequila" and Bo Diddley's "Bo Diddley" ...

| | Kylie Minogue CD (1997) Bonus Tracks; Japan
Stars On The Wall CD music
$27.79
This self-titled album by the Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue features a dozen tracks.
By 1997, much of the pop music landscape had changed. The music papers were declaring the "Techno Revolution" was on, Oasis and Manic Street Preachers were ruling the charts, and simple dance-pop seemed to be the domain of teenage girls. So what does the dance-pop diva of the '90s do? She recruits Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore, and Nicky Wire, starts writing unaided, and completely changes musical direction. Enter Kylie Minogue's Impossible Princess (the title was changed to Kylie Minogue after the death of Princess Diana). From the trippy cover art to the abundance of guitars and experimental vocal tracks, this was her "great leap forward." The move got her in the papers, but, unfortunately, critical acclaim was lacking (and so were sales). Critics called it a mistake, and the public was less than impressed. Which is sad, because this is a pretty damn good record. Unlike her early work, this album sounds stronger and has a more natural feel. Her songwriting abilities have come a long way, and Impossible Princess actually flows together as an album. Worth another look. ~ Chris True
Meant as a statement of her new direction, Kylie Minogue's fifth album no longer featured the Stock-Aitken-Waterman production gloss and found the diminutive singer working with hip dance producers like David Seaman. From the first notes of the opener "Confide in Me," you know this is not the teen pop queen of old. Kylie Minogue (also note the use of her last name on the cover) wanted to sound grown up, and she pulls it off with ease. While it is still dance-pop, there's atmosphere and style in the songs that wasn't there on Let's Get to It. Definitely the start of the second phase of her career. ~ Chris True

| | Jim Brickman Grace CD (2005)
Stars On The Wall music CDs
$9.59 
Brickman's renditions of traditional numbers move from the expansive, sprightly arrangement of "Jesu" to the thoughtful, Vince Guaraldi-like nuances of "Crown Him With Many Crowns." As with his prior releases, Brickman involves his share of special guests. Christian singer/songwriter Ginny Owens lends her talents to a rich rendition of "Amazing Grace," and classical-crossover vocalist Mario Frangoulis induces goosebumps on an uplifting "Ave Maria." And while the Dove Award-winning trio Selah impresses mightily on "Be Thou Near to Me," Brickman's longtime friend Michael Bolton steals the spotlight with his typically exuberant phrasing, giving the already-inspirational ...
