Audio Mixer: Tore Johansson. Recording information: Tambourine Studios, Malmo, Sweden. Photographer: Martin Bogren. With tongue firmly in cheek, the Cardigans decided to play up the candyfloss arrangements of their debut for second album Life. Where Emmerdale studied an introverted melancholy, Life is undiminished in both its independent-minded exuberance ("Hey! Get Out of My Way") and zest to enjoy life with others ("Daddy's Car," "Gordon's Gardenparty"). The incredible production and quality of arrangement from the debut are here also, even more strikingly crisp and spot-on. (Over 50 instruments were used on the 14 songs included on the Minty Fresh American release.) Though the Cardigans planned Life as something of a joke, it became one of the finest pop albums of the '90s. ~ John Bush As Nina Persson's velour-smooth vocals prove, LIFE is much sweeter and more profound than simply a box of chocolates. Her gorgeous voice is the perfect complement to the rest of the Cardigans' jazz-tinged, retro sound. Straight outta Sweden, the quintet plays a unique hybrid of confectionated pop and space-age bachelor-lounge music. The lush arrangements are festooned with vibes, horns, bassoons, bells, strings and futuristic synthesizers, leaving one with the incorrect but plausible impression that these intensely creative Scandinavians have kidnapped Burt Bacharach and looted his back catalog. Amazingly, there's not a sample to be found on the entire disc. The bureaucratic FDA has yet to develop (let alone, approve) an inoculation strong enough to resist the highly infectous pop of "Daddy's Car" or "Rise & Shine" from attacking your pop immune system. The flute refrains on "Over The Water" and "Sick & Tired" (the first single) are pure Ennio Marricone spaghetti-Western kitsch, while the trip-hoppy "Our Space" could be a track on a Portishead album. With nary a lame-o song to be found on the entire 14 tracks, LIFE is worth living over and over again.Spin (1/96, p.64) - Included on Spin's list of the "10 Best Albums You Didn't Hear In '95." - "...The Cardigans are the great beat combo you've never heard, creating childlike melodies and wit-filled arrangements to tickle your cranium and set your toes a-tapping..." Entertainment Weekly (2/23-3/1/96, p.126) - "Call them the Swedish Pizzicato Five, the Rentals in their own wildest dreams, or the true heirs to ABBA's legacy: This coed Stockholm quintet are all that and then some..." - Rating: A Option (5-6/96, p.98) - "...the sweetest pop since new Coke..." Melody Maker (12/23-30/95, pp.66-67) - Ranked #43 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's `Albums Of The Year' - "...From the Etienne/Pizzicato/Stereolab school of cinematic sixties nouvelle vague....How Swede it is."

| | Paladin Charge CD (1971) (Import) Japan; Mini LP Sleeve
Life
$34.85 Having failed to ignite the populace with their eponymous debut, a set brimming with joie de vivre and creative crossovers, Paladin decided the only way to break into the mainstream was to assault it. And this they set about doing with their sophomore set, 1972's Charge. Far heavier than their previous set, the quintet seemed determined to beat listeners into submission. That's evident from the get go, as they bash their way through the opening track "Give Me Your Hand," a rhythm-heavy number fueled by fiery guitar solos, strident vocals, and a hard rocking sound. The only reminder of their previous musical predilections is the Latin percussion that bubbles up halfway through the piece. But then this is much more a hard rock album, with Derek Foley's guitar now given far more prominence while the vocals stray into Robert Plant territory, and the organ is invariably set towards psychedelia. This inevitably constricts their musical experimentations, yet the band still take some interesting excursions along the way. "Good Lord," for instance, encompasses Latin rhythms, a Southern rock segment, space ...

Life
$12.89 This 1957 recording has not been available since the original LP issue which has been out of print for decades. Traditional jazz at its best on this new CD version which has many never before issued bonus tracks. Live in Fulton Missouri, The Dixie Stompe
The Dixie Stompers: Pete Patterson (banjo); Norman Mason (clarinet); Bill Mason (cornet); Jim Haislip (trombone); Glenn Tintera, John Chapman (piano); Bob Kormacher (drums). When Bob Koester founded Delmark Records in St. Louis in 1953 (before Koester moved his label to Chicago), one of his main areas of interest was Dixieland. Koester was not interested in Dixieland exclusively -- Delmark has always been as much of a blues label as it is a jazz label -- but documenting the Dixieland revival in the Midwest in the '50s is certainly among his big accomplishments. So it was quite appropriate that Koester himself wrote the liner notes for the Dixie Stompers' ...
