| | Carla Bruni No Promises CD Carla Bruni Discography of CDs
Born in Italy and raised in Paris, Carla Bruni became one of the world's top models before she was 20 years old. Her musical debut, QUELQU'UN M'A DIT, showed she also had a penchant for sultry singer-songwriter fare in the classic French pop style. NO PROMISES, Bruni's sophomore effort, mines similar territory, but takes its lyrics from the works of famous poets such as W.H. Auden, Emily Dickinson, and William Butler Yeats. The music is soft, rhythmic, and intimate, driven by acoustic guitar, and the whisper-sung words add to the French café-style ambience.
Personnel: Carla Bruni (vocals, classical guitar).
Audio Mixer: Louis Bertignac.
Entertainment Weekly (p.97) - "[She] adds nicotine-on-velvet English vocals and a folk-tinged vibe to poems by the likes of Emily Dickinson and W. B. Yeats."

Although they likely stand to benefit very little from the fact that primary members Garth Adam and Dave Kelly also happen to form the rhythm section for Russell Crowe's 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, Ether (named for a particularly picturesque highway in their native Australia) sound impressively surefooted in the realm of slightly rootsy, slightly exotic modern rock. Comprised largely of acoustic instruments, the album has a somewhat earthy feel, although the atmospheric production counteracts those tendencies and never really allows them to step forward with a personality of their own. And even as the hooks and the playing are solid throughout, many of the songs lack distinction and fail to make any lyrical statements that are likely to make much of an impression on the listener. Their collection of mandolins, 12-string acoustic guitars, and nice harmonies insure that the set doesn't fall short in the area of musical competency, but it's just hard to find many tracks that are terribly memorable. At their best when simply stripping away all the commonplace elements of their music and allowing just a resonator guitar and a harmonium to carry the arrangement, tracks like "Between Kempsey and Byron Bay" ultimately prove that for Ether, less is more. ~ Matt Fink
Ether is the name of a musical project started a few years ago in a lounge room in front of the TV. It was an outlet that allowed me to write and record songs of my own and also have a drink on a Friday night after work. I started the project with a friend named Paul Hardman and together we made a CD in his home, which we simply entitled Ether. That featured songs of Paul's, mine and another friend named Glenn. We all now live in different cities but the project continues on with me. I will have a new album out shortly which will feature the talents of Dave Kelly from Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts ...

Upon the release of MOTHERSHIP in 2007, almost three decades after their demise, Led Zeppelin arguably stood as the only other band in rock history to merit space with the Beatles in the greatest-of-all-time debate. While the latter practically invented the how-to guide for composing and recording modern pop, Zeppelin taught the machinery how to rock with a seismic bravado that decades latter still rattles foundations. In the post-Zeppelin era, rock became a synonym for a heaviness intended to both inspire awe and knock you flat with its weight.
The first six Led Zeppelin records contain nary a less-than-stellar track and define perfection as a canon; yet adequately compiling bits and pieces of this remarkable run has always eluded the band. Though this collection is no substitute for the first six records, MOTHERSHIP succeeds as a greatest hits retrospective on two levels: one, as an introduction for neophytes who want all the band's signature songs, and two, as a sound upgrade for completists. (In fact, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones themselves are all given production ...
