Additional personnel includes: Thomas Troelsen (vocals, keyboards, bass, drums); Helena Josefsson, Ditte Bringoe (vocals); Yebo (synthesizer, drums, percussion, background vocals).
Picking up the cudgel of dance music with a mish-mash of influences pioneered by '90s acts like Deee-Lite and perpetuated by contemporaries the Cooler Kids, Junior Senior add some flash to an otherwise colorless Summer 2003. With their debut D-D-DON'T STOP THE BEAT, this Danish duo packs a half-hour's worth of kitschy New Wave synthesizers, flashy surf guitar, and thumping funk beats into delightful pieces of ear candy like the Eurodisco "Move Your Feet," psychedelic nugget "Boy Meets Girl," and the garage-rock gender-bending anthem "Chicks and Dicks." Throughout these 13 songs, the tempo borders on the amphetamine-fueled, with chugging guitar and double-time beats framing the simple yet infectious "Good Girl, Bad Boy," White Stripes-like "White Trash," and aptly titled "Rhythm Bandits." About the only time the pace somewhat slows down is on "Shake Me Baby," with its neat mix of subtle string arrangements ...

Britten: War Requiem, Sinfonia Da Requiem, Etc / Hickox

A rock revivalist opus similar to those by the Strokes and Stripes, the Walkmen's sophomore effort is a genuine rock "album" in the traditional sense: each song is unique to the others and it all fits together as a cohesive work of art. Instant classics include "The Rat," with vocalist Hamilton Leithauser screaming out with so much lonely rage that two tracks later (on "Little House of Savages"), the shredded walls of his throat fall away like rocket boosters fueled by Matt Barrick's long, flying drum-fill of a beat.
Mellower tracks "138th Street" and "Hang on Siobhan" provide ample evidence that these boys are long-lost heirs to the Mott the Hoople / BLONDE ON BLONDE-era Dylan throne. U2 comparisons are also borne out with the riffs of guitarist Paul Maroon and the thudding drums of Barrick. Add some Yo La Tengo-esque organ ...

Britten: War Requiem, Sinfonia Da Requiem, Etc / Hickox

This most recent recording by the outstanding Slovenian clarinetist Joze Kotar, in collaboration with harpist Nicoletta Sanzin-Fabbri, is one you will not want to miss. Recommended for both its excellent performances and interesting repertoire, Collage is a sure winner. The sound engineering is first-rate. JOZE KOTAR is principal clarinet with the Slovene Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and associate professor at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana. He began playing the clarinet in his home-town, Trbovlje, under the teaching of Ervin Plevnik. He then continued his studies in Ljubljana under Prof. Alojz Zupan, and in 1992 completed his postgraduate studies at the Academy of Music. In numerous competitions at home and abroad he has won nine first prizes, and has also been granted the Academy and the University Prešeren Award. In his guest appearances abroad he represented (former) Yugoslavia in 1988 at the competition "Europäischer Preis" in Zürich, and was also principal clarinet with the Mediterranean Orchestra and the Alpe-Adria Orchestra. As a soloist and as a member of chamber ensembles he has performed in Slovenia, (former) Yugoslavia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland and USA. In the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra he has performed under many well-known conductors, including Carlos Kleiber. Last year his first CD with The Slovene Philharmonic String Quartet was published by ZKP RTV Slovenia. He is also a member of the ARIART Woodwind Quintet - which in 1998 issued its first CD for the recording service of RTV Slovenia - a member of the Slovene clarinet quartet and founder of Slovenian Clarinet Choir. In addition, he performs as a clarinetist with the orchestras Slovenicum, Consortium musicum, the Slovene Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Slovene Police, and the Workers wind Band of Trbovlje, and also records for radio and television. Harpist Nicoletta Sanzin-Fabbri performs as a soloist and in chamber ensembles in her native Italy and abroad. She also appears regularly with Teatro Verdi in Trieste, Alps-Adriatic Youth Orchestra, RAI Symphony Orchestra, Teatro alla Scala in Milan, and since 1995 has been solo harpist with the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra. Robert Nicholas Charles Bochsa (1789-1856), one of the most prolific composers for harp, served as court harpist to Napoleon and to Louis XVIII. Unfortunately his success as a performer could not keep him out of trouble with the law and he was forced to flee the country in 1817 due to forgery charges. Settling in England, Bochsa again rose to prominence and was appointed professor of harp at the Royal Academy of Music. Bochsa's Theme and Variations, transcribed for clarinet and harp by Frederic Robert, is a short and thoroughly appealing work. Kotar's beautiful sound and delicate sense of phrasing add to the simple charm of the work. Nocturne No. 1 is highly virtuosic and demonstrates the tight-knit ensemble achieved by Kotar and Sanzin-Fabbri. Following a brief introduction the clarinet introduces a charming "music-box-like" tune that dominates the work. As the piece unfolds both performers are given brilliant, excellently executed cadenzas and ample passage work. The next selection is the technically demanding Concert Fantasy on "La Traviata" by Italian composer and flutist Donato Lovreglio (1841-1907). Originally composed for clarinet and piano, the Fantasy works remarkably well with harp. Sanzin-Fabbri's beautiful playing ...
