Fantastic 90s

Second album of Hiro Yanagida is almost equally good as the debut one. "7sai no Rojin Tengoku" (which means "Elderly Person Heaven Of Seven Years". This album is also known under simple title: "Hiro Yanagida") doesn't bring any significant development compared to "Milk Time"…

A group whose distinctly ethereal and gossamer sound virtually defined the enigmatic image of the record label 4AD, Cocteau Twins were founded in Grangemouth, Scotland, in 1979. Taking their name from an obscure song from fellow Scots Simple Minds, the Cocteaus were originally formed by guitarist Robin Guthrie and bassist Will Heggie and later rounded out by Guthrie's girlfriend Elizabeth Fraser, an utterly unique performer whose swooping, operatic vocals relied less on any recognizable language than on the subjective sounds and textures of verbalized emotions.

Collection includes: All About Eve (1988); Scarlet And Other Stories (1989); Touched By Jesus (1991); Ultraviolet (1992); Winter Words - Hits And Rareties (1992); Keepsakes - A Collection (2006).

Less than four months after issuing the landmark and autobiographical Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Elton John re-emerged with a new band and a slightly modified sound. However, the departure of bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson began a deceleration in terms of John's success, which rivalled only the Beatles' and Elvis Presley's in terms of global acclaim…

On the surface, Lodger is the most accessible of the three Berlin-era records David Bowie made with Brian Eno, simply because there are no instrumentals and there are a handful of concise pop songs. Nevertheless, Lodger is still gnarled and twisted avant pop; what makes it different is how it incorporates such experimental tendencies into genuine songs, something that Low and Heroes purposely avoided…

Paul McCartney's fourth live album in four years (including Tripping the Live Fantastic: The Highlights) is full of Beatles classics and recent McCartney numbers, including a live version of "Biker Like an Icon"? Paul Is Live uses the exact same band and tone as Tripping the Live Fantastic.

SamTaylor doesn't mess around when it comes to delivering his brand of blues. From fantastic interpretations of classic blues, with a funk no one quite delivers like Sam; to originals and in Tucson fantastic collaborations with violinist Heather Hardy, Keep the Blues Alive is a must-have album. It is a stand alone album reflecting Sam Taylors quest for the best blues he can create. The Bluzman, name must have been invented for this album.
