| | La Bouche Sweet Dreams CD La Bouche Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
All songs co-written by G.A. Saraf or G. Mart except "I'll Be There" (I. Karmann/F. Weber), "Fallin' In Love" and "Fallin' In Love (Spike Mix)" (Dan Hamilton/Ann Marie Hamilton).
The booklet for this disc contains a drawing of a huge mechanical gear, and that about sums up La Bouche's approach to dance music. This is relentless, machine-made music, the kind that has always (and will always) filled the world's dance floors with sweating, churning bodies. It's not entirely synths and sequencers, though. Melanie Thornton throws a soulful element into the mix--her solid voice. It rides on top of the incessant disco stomp of the hit "Sweet Dreams" (heavily borrowed from Eurythmics), and winds around the sinewy remake of the ubiquitous '70s smash "Fallin' in Love" (originally done by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds). Yes, thanks to La Bouche, the beat goes on...and on...and on.
La Bouche's music is pretty direct. The duo, comprised of Lane McCray and Melanie Thornton, are a Euro-pop combo that turns out tightly-constructed psuedo-disco songs with just enough pop flourishes to make their sound appealing to mainstream listeners. There's not much here in the way of songs -- every track is basically repeated grooves, with a couple of catchy hooks overdubbed on top -- but the sound is quite good and should be appealing to dance fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Good Buy!!
If you want good, pumpin' high NRG Eurodance music, then this is the CD for you! Enough said, just buy the CD. I'm not a representative for CD Universe, I'm just a college student that likes to dance, so I guess you can say that I'm an expert (a-hem).

Purchase Sweet Dreams CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Kirk Franklin Christmas CD (1995)
Sweet Dreams album
 $8.49  
In addition to energized versions of such treasured Christmas songs as "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and "Silent Night," Franklin & the Family contribute several non-traditional songs that explore the depth of God's love and the Christian basis for the holiday. "Now Behold the Lamb," for example, is a ballad that testifies to the truth of salvation, and features stirring ensemble singing, strong solo vocalists, and plenty of enthusiastic exclamations. The deeply funky "Jesus Is the Reason for the Season" kicks things up a notch with its bumping rhythm and infectious chorus. With its mix of old and new musical styles and its impassioned performances, CHRISTMAS is sure to please those looking for a meaningful and musically fresh holiday album.
Contemporary gospel star Kirk Franklin made one of his most accessible and commercially successful records with CHRISTMAS. From Franklin's heartfelt ...

Sweet Dreams CD music
$19.19 
Functioning as something of a replacement for the 2001 collection Their Greatest Hits: The Record, The Ultimate Bee Gees covers much of the same ground as that double-disc set, albeit in not quite so linear a fashion. The Record marched through its 40 tracks chronologically, opening with the stately baroque Beatlesque pop of the '60s and then winding through the '70s, whereas this opens with the bright, fabulous blast of "You Should Be Dancing" and remains in their late-'70s heyday for a while before fast-forwarding to such ...

| | Tokens Lion Sleeps Tonight CD (1961)
Sweet Dreams album
$15.15
This classic song from the Tokens is backed with three b-sides.
The Tokens hit big in 1962 with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)," a recasting of a South African tune that had been an earlier hit for the Weavers (the song had actually been written by Zulu songwriter Solomon Linda and was originally entitled "Mbude"). Infectious and full of a kind of vaguely eerie and ominous wisdom, the song has been a hit many times over in various hands. The Tokens, for their part, tried to repeat the trick several times (although without the lions) in such songs as "A Tale of Two Lovers," "B'wanina," and "Monkey Vendor," all of which are included here in this brief collection from RCA Victor. None of these songs captured the allure of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," however, although "Water Prayer" is certainly intriguing and "A Bird Flies out of Sight (Felicidad)" demonstrates a succinct poetic lyric that is certainly a rarity in pop music. There are also two sort of mildly interesting hot rod tunes here, "Little Hot Rod Susie" and "Little Snow White Coupe," that are no more ridiculous than most of the other songs in the genre, and "Little Snow White Coupe" actually affords the listener a unintentionally fascinating study ...
