Farin Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 My second nomination: "Live In London" - Leonard Cohen - 2009 ("Tower Of Song" - Leonard Cohen) does that album contain new songs? or just live recordings of his most favourite ones or something?
blind-fitter Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 This is going to be terrible! You're right; it's looking pretty horrendous, so far.

phil Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea - PJ Harvey (2000). Here'e a taste. Innocence And Despair - The Langley School Music Project (2001) Quick review. Innocence & Despair is simply astounding. The music, recorded on two tracks under the supervision of an unknowingly whacked-out visionary music teacher named Hans Fenger, features a group of sixty elementary school students singing the popular pop music tunes of the day, with minimal musical back-up of drums, a cymbal, xylophones, and one-string bass, all played by the students, and guitar and piano played by Fenger. At times the songs, which range from the work of Brian Wilson, to Paul McCartney, to the Eagles, to Fleetwood Mac, surpass the original recordings, either making the songs virtually explode with youthful energy (case in point: the raucous cover of the Bay City Rollers’ ‘Saturday Night’) or overflow with naïve melancholy (case in point: the jaw-dropping version of the Eagles’ overwrought ballad ‘Desperado’, sung solo by a little girl). If that weren’t enough, the, er, ‘musicianship’ by the kids is something to behold. Drummers are overeager and can’t hold the tempo properly, cymbal crashes come in half a beat too late, and the xylophone fills sound primitive. Yet it all comes together in the end, and something that sounded extremely strange in the beginning winds up leaving you incredibly moved at the end. Basement Galaxy Good Vibrations Space Oddity
