This is one of many compilations drawn from Paul Robeson's 1930s recordings for the British EMI label. Despite being referred to in the skimpy, often inaccurate liner notes as a "selection of his greatest performances," it mixes some of his best -- including "Ol' Man River" -- with the sometimes second-rate material he was given to record. Still, with 20 tracks and a running time near 58 minutes, it is an adequate collection if purchased for a discount price. Don't spring for it as a high-priced import, however; there are better domestic collections and better imports.

A remix album followed in 2010 called 'You Look Colder'. It featured remixes from the likes of Jape, Hunter-Gatherer and Legion of Two.
Their second album 'Golden Syrup' is released on 12th September. Moving on from the previous more DIY / lo-fi sound we now find them embracing a more gothic synth sound. Reminiscent of lesser known early 80's electronics pioneers such as Robert Rental, Thomas Leer and John Foxx but also drawing comparisons to such contemporary artists as Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and John Maus.

"Love Letters in the Sand" is a popular song first published in 1931. The music was written by J. Fred Coots and the lyrics by Nick Kenny and Charles Kenny.

Sleeping With the Enemy is the second album of U.S. political rapper Paris. Released in 1992, it stimulated much controversy with the songs "Bush Killa" (a revenge fantasy about the assassination of then-President George H. W.

Let Me Rock You is the third album released by American musician and former Kiss drummer Peter Criss. Due to poor sales for his previous album, Out of Control, Let Me Rock You was not released in the United States until 1998, when it was reissued on CD. The album was produced by Vini Poncia, who previously produced Criss's 1978 solo album (officially released as a Kiss album). Let Me Rock You features the song "Feels Like Heaven", written by Criss's former bandmate, Gene Simmons. Vinnie Cusano also co-wrote a song for the album; at the same year the album was released, Cusano became known as Vinnie Vincent when he replaced Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley. The album cover features Peter Criss for the first time without his Kiss makeup, as he did not appear on the cover of his solo album Out of Control. One year later, Kiss also decided to take off their makeup for their Lick It Up album.

Один из самых гармоничных и красивых альбомов в авангардно-прогрессивной стилистике называется «Immense Intense Suspense», он появился на свет чуть позже большинства своих выдающихся собратьев, в 1994 году в Голландии, и на нем Phlebotomized еще держались своих дэт-металических корней. Голландцы не погрузились в расслабленно-воздушные импровизации, как оно произойдет при сочинении материала к следующему альбому, но уже застыли на грани перед этим. Альбом продолжает переосмысление абскурного грайндового прошлого (начатое на предыдущих двух EP), которым участники весьма увлекались в 80-е и с которого начинали под данной вывеской. Брутально-булькающий рык на диске соседствует с отрешенным чистым вокалом, проникновенные партии скрипки – с сокрушительным лязгом ритм-секции и бластбитом

Любопытным последствием воссоединения и последовавшей карьеры VdGG стал особый энтузиазм, с которым я стал подходить к сольным концертам в свободное от группы время. На протяжении серии концертных туров я осмыслил старые и новые песни в самом чистом, аскетическом исполнении: пианино и голос, гитара и голос.Некоторые песни, исполняемые на концертах, пришлось убрать, чтобы удержать длительность в рамках примерно 70ти минут. Чтобы каждый диск был как можно более «концертным», песни плавно переходят друг в друга, соединённые аплодисментами. Надеюсь, это поможет погрузиться в атмосферу представления.

Хэммилл - он икона для многих прогрессивно-мыслящих меломанов, поэтому по определению не может быть нудным и неинтересным, он может быть только сложно-непонятным и непростотакперевариваемым.Альбом отличный! И это вне зависимости понравился он лично мне или нет, просто он отличный и все, и мое мнение о нем не сделает его ни хуже и не лучше.
