| | Dido Life For Rent CD Dido Discography of CDs
Imagine Beth Orton with a bit more of a pop lilt, and you'll have a good idea of the general approach on LIFE FOR RENT, UK pop siren Dido Armstrong's long-awaited follow-up to her 1999 debut album. Dido's light, feathery voice and simple, purposefully delivered melodies sit atop a mixture of Jewel-like folk-pop and more contemporary, electronics-laden production a la her former group Faithless. Like Orton, Dido injects a touch of highly accessible trip-hop into her sound, as on the moody, clever "See You When You're 40," with its loping, funky groove, or "Who Makes You Feel," with its evocative, atmospheric samples. The mood throughout is a soft, girlish one, as Dido weaves gentle portraits of a woman going through the whole emotional spectrum, with the lightness offset by smarter-than-your-average-pop-star lyrics and small surprises in the arrangements.
"White Flag" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

The finest example of perfect disco pop, and a record that should be prescribed to musical snobs and manic depressives. The album is a true ambassador of what pop music can be.

Of the "big four" original thrash bands (the other three being Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth), Slayer was the least compromising and most consistent. As such, 2009's WORLD PAINTED BLOOD recalled more than the title of Slayer's 1986 masterpiece REIGN IN BLOOD; it shared the earlier album's ferocious aggression ...

It's always a sign that a group is hot if they release a holiday album mere months after their debut. That's the case with *NSYNC. Their debut was released in America in late March, and in early December, Home for Christmas hit the shelves. Much of the album is devoted to newer material, with only a handful of songs qualifying as standards: "The Christmas Song," "The First Noel," ...
| | Hawkwind Space Ritual Sundown CD (1985) Deluxe Edition
Life For Rent music CDs
$14.65
Nik Turner (flute, saxophone, background vocals); Del Dettmar (synthesizer); Lemmy (bass, background vocals); Simon King (drums); Dik Mik (tapes).
Recorded live at Brixton Sundown, London, England on December 30, 1972. Includes liner notes by Dave Thompson.
The original version of SPACE RITUAL is the definitive live document of U.K. space-rock heroes Hawkwind. VOL. 2 features tracks drawn from the same 1972 performances, but they're presented here in their original, unedited form. (Apparently the first volume involved a fair amount of post-production). The swirling electronics, space-cadet lyrics, and psychedelic guitars that made the band famous can be heard at their finest here. Motorhead fans, take note: this is where it all started for Lemmy, whose bass and vocals add plenty of drive to the proceedings.
Hawkwind were still reeling from the shock of a monster hit single, "Silver Machine," when they set out on their late 1972 Space Ritual tour, a 26-date outing that crisscrossed Britain from early November until the end of the year. Vastly ambitious, incredibly choreographed, and brain-charringly loud, the concept had been on the band's mind for over a year already -- "we're getting a space odyssey together which will be a completely environmental situation," Dave Brock remarked in late 1971, while bandmate Nik Turner later reflected, "it was a very grandiose thing. Big stage sets, a lot of equipment, big trucks, very high overheads. But everybody was into it, so it was a very communal thing." Several shows on the tour were recorded, with highlights of two, in Liverpool and Brixton, remixed and released as Space Ritual -- in both legend and fact are the ultimate Hawkwind live albums. Four sides of vinyl documented a journey into deepest time and space, via behemoth re-creations of some of the band's greatest ever material -- definitive renderings of "Brainstorm," "Master of the Universe," "Sonic Attack," "Seven by Seven" and "Born to Go" await within and, when ads for the album called it "88 minutes of brain damage," they ...
