THE SONGFACTORS' CHOICE Top Albums of the Decade: The '00's

** Obviously, with this coming December 31st, 2009, the '00's are over. The end of the first decade of the New Millenium, as we were all calling it back in 2000. Let's make this edition a good one, the results will most surely be going up on the main page, and it is kind of a big deal, don't you think?

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.
