| | Pulp We Love Life CD - Import Pulp Discography of CDs
WE LOVE LIFE, Pulp's final studio outing before dissolving in the early 2000s, is an oft-overlooked album, but it is easily one of the Britpop band's finest. While its predecessor, THIS IS HARDCORE, was dark, slick, and urban, LIFE is bright, ... Full Descriptionorganic, and thoroughly rustic, with the theme of nature providing a thread throughout much of the record.
Although the disc doesn't have the standout singles of past Pulp albums, LIFE is remarkably consistent, due both to frontman Jarvis Cocker's newfound maturity as a songwriter and to the production work of his idol Scott Walker. While Walker doesn't apply the bombast of his revered late-1960s records, he does give Pulp's compositions a wonderfully widescreen scope that enhances every track, from the potent opener, "Weeds," to the chilling narrative "Wickerman," and the gloriously crescendoing "Sunrise." More than previous Pulp offerings, LIFE is a guitar-driven affair, with additional six-stringer Richard Hawley (an excellent solo artist in his own right) filling out the sound. Though it may not eclipse DIFFERENT CLASS in the minds of most fans, WE LOVE LIFE is an incredibly accomplished album that shows Pulp bowing out with vitality and grace.
2001 album from Jarvis Cocker and company that has met with outstanding reviews in all sectors. It's not exactly an easy listen, but wellworth exploring for further pleasures...it's one of those albums that grows on you! Produced by the ever elusive Scott Walker and his unique wall of sound.

Purchase We Love Life CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Black Heart Procession 2 CD (1999)
We Love Life album
 $12.25  
The Black Heart Procession's beautifully bleak postmodern folk-rock falls in with the work of the Willard Grant Conspiracy, Tindersticks, Palace, Lambchop, etc. Like those groups, BHP use fragile, elegant music to frame poetic lyrics that express a deep sense of alienation and disillusionment. Like Lambchop, they use every instrument in the book to achieve ...
| | Birthday Party Live 1981-82 CD (1999)
We Love Life CD music
$14.69
The Birthday Party's LIVE 1981-82 is a vicious and incendiary assault on the nature of traditional both rock music and its various offspring. Words like "intense" are consistently overused when describing rock bands, but the Birthday Party worked overtime to make sure that they fully deserved them.
Digitally remastered by Dave Macquarie (1999, Studios 301).
Recorded at three European concerts-- in London, in Bremen, and in Athens--this album displays a rock band caught in the act of simultaneous exorcism and self-destruction. Standouts include a high-speed swipe at "A Dead Song" that outstrips the studio version in nearly every respect; the tricked-out rockabilly of "Release the Bats," a song which probably did more for the then nascent Goth movement than anything since Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead"; "Dead Joe," built on searing guitar feedback and ...
| | Frank Sinatra Where Are You? CD (1957) Remastered
We Love Life music CDs
$14.35 
This is part of Capitol Records "Entertainer Of The Century" series.
This 1957 recording marks Sinatra's first collaboration with arranger Gordon Jenkins. Jenkins was an innovator whose sympathetic orchestrations for Sinatra, second only to those of Nelson Riddle, would mark a bright period in the singer's long, celestial career. Besides his phenomenal vocal abilities, one of the things that set Sinatra apart from his contemporaries was his conceptual vision. He was one of the first pop singers to release albums that were thematically connected groups of songs, rather than just a haphazard collection of singles ...

Like WILD LOVE and KNOCK KNOCK, RED APPLE FALLS represents the more elaborate side of Bill Callahan's discography. His outsider/loser image is still perfectly intact, but it is shaped here with a more expansive sonic palette. Everything from French horn and pedal steel to hurdy gurdy is employed on these unassumingly poetic tales of self-loathing. There's ...

Retreating from the psychedelia of THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST, the Stones released the roots-rock single "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and then the album BEGGAR'S BANQUET. It was hailed as a rock masterpiece, and remains the favorite of many Stones fans.
BEGGAR'S BANQUET played to the Stones' strengths. The ironic lead-off ("Sympathy For The Devil") led many rock-baiters to conclude ...
