| | 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).

Sweet Dreams songs
$14.34 
Most of Graffiti is a natural progression for Chris Brown. Like many young cred-seeking male singers who have just exited their teenage years, Brown emphasizes womanizing and hedonism and balances it out with a couple clean and empty ballads, as well as a couple relatively lighthearted Europop numbers. A handful of songs deal with his relationship with Rihanna, as well as the fallout from his assault of her. ~ Andy Kellman
Most of Graffiti -- that is, the songs that do not detail what ex-girlfriend Rihanna and the rest of the world have done to him -- is a natural progression for Chris Brown. Like many young cred-seeking male singers who have just exited their teenage years, Brown clumsily emphasizes womanizing and hedonism and balances it out with a couple clean and empty ballads. Out of this portion of the album, only a couple songs leave a lasting impression, and when they do, the silly things that come out of Brown's mouth tend to be the reason; take "As stingy as you are, I think you ready," part of "Take My Time"'s chorus and hopefully no woman's idea of ...

Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (Digiprep).
A solid collection that features all of McDonald's greatest hits from the early '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
For too long, there wasn't a Michael McDonald compilation available domestically. Rhino/Warner Archives' 2001 release The Very Best of Michael McDonald corrects that situation, offering a generous 16 tracks, including duets and a previous unreleased version of Higher Ground. The collection concentrates solely on his ...

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 ...
