The fifth album by respected reverb-wrangler and composer Daniel Lanois functions as both a stand-alone recording and the soundtrack to the 2007 film of the same name. (The deluxe version contains both, on two discs.) Aside from two spoken-word tracks culled from an illuminating conversation with Brian Eno, the rest is Lanois at his mellow best. The usual cinematic sweep and drama of his previous work has been taken down a notch here and replaced with quiet, dignified rocking and subtle voice work that recalls Richard Hawley. This humble entry in Lanois's catalog will please fans, whether they get the opportunity to see the film or not.Uncut (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t covers much stylistic ground and many sonic textures, but the sweeping, psychedelic groove of 'Duo Glide' and the breathless Garth Hudson piano improv on 'Lovechild' impress most." CMJ - "[E]xpertly sprawling adult-contemporary, country and blues-rock tunes." Q (Magazine) (p.135) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With the] songs revolving with quiet, Dire Straits-ian grace around a pedal-steel guitar, while a variety of vocalists take his musical atmospherics and run with them." Mojo (Publisher) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album has a rich panoply of ambient textures....It's top quality stuff..." Daniel Lanois Here Is What Is Songs Here Is What Is Review

| | Shirley Horn I Remember Miles CD (1998)
Here Is What Is CD music
$12.39 I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis made.
Horn selected mostly ballads from Davis' Columbia Records catalogue for her tribute because, as she explains in the liner notes, Davis liked her to sing ballads, and ballads are Horn's specialty. She can slow down time in a unique and spellbinding way. Her sultry and smoky vocals are intimate and conversational, relying on odd metered timing and silence, rather than volume, to make an emotional point.
This album's knock out punch is the epic (over 10 minutes long) "My Man's Gone Now" performed ...
| | Elliott Smith Xo CD (1998)
Here Is What Is music CDs
$11.99 The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his melodic pop constructions makes for a compelling artistic tension.
Recorded at Sunset Sound, Sound Factory, Ocean Way, Sonora, Los Angeles, California; Jackpot!, Portland, ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Here Is What Is songs
$12.05 This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with ...
| | Elliott Smith From A Basement On The Hill CD (2004)
Here Is What Is album
$14.49 Elliott Smith's death in 2003 left a cavernous hole in the world of popular music. Tender, intimate, and painfully honest, the songs in Smith's catalogue capture the fragility of human existence with rare, breathtaking beauty. On his first posthumous release, Smith reaffirms his status as an extraordinarily gifted artist, giving fans yet another reason to mourn his tragic loss.
Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down ...
