Schwülstig - schwülstiger - am schwülstigsten, 3. April 2001 Rezensentin/Rezensent: (alex6... (Mehr über mich) aus Eschborn, Deutschland

Die Siegerrose für das überschätzteste Album des Jahres 2000. Eine Kastratenstimme (noch unerträglicher als Thom Yorke von Radiohead und das will schon was heissen), die irgendwas in dieser den Ohren nicht gerade schmeichelnden isländischen Sprache haucht. Dazu rein elektronische Musik (hier ist wirklich nichts echt, will sagen akustisch-handgemacht) und zwar bombastisch arrangierter Kitsch, Yes waren dagegen schlichte Seelen. Die Melodien schleimen sich ins Ohr und kleben dort fest. Man kriegt sie nicht mehr raus. Finger weg von diesem Produkt, wenn man seine Hörlöffel nicht verschmutzen will!

Noel covering Ryan covering Noel


Chris Whitfiled from Americana UK about Oasis rerecording Wonderwall:

NME reports: "Oasis have re-recorded their most famous single 'Wonderwall', NME can exclusively reveal. The group originally released the Britpop anthem in October 1995 when it entered the UK chart at Number Two, and it is now acknowledged as a landmark record for a generation and the most famous Oasis song ever. Noel Gallagher re-entered a studio over the festive period to re-record the track and sources close to the band have told NME that the new version is "completely different" to its studio predecessor, with Noel singing instead of Liam. The new version is believed to have been inspired by Ryan Adams, who covered the song recently in his live set. Noel recently commented: "I never got my head round this song until I went to see Ryan Adams play and he did an amazing cover of it. So now I'm going to cover one of my own songs in the style of Ryan Adams." An Oasis insider told NME: "Since he saw Ryan Adams playing his song in a completely different way, it's rejuvenated his interest in it. It's given Noel a way to make it his own again.""

Badger is back


One of the first weblogs which ever linked to me is in full blossom again after a couple of weeks of rather sparse posting. Badgerminor has been posting lots of stuff on music in the morning and in the afternoon during the last two days.

I have always been perplexed how similar our musical tastes were. It might not be as surprising that we both love Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but we also share dislikes. He writes that he lost interest in the Smashing Pumpkins after Gish which still is my favourite of theirs. Hypnotic and psychedelic at the same time (in 1991/92 My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and Gish were the sonic spaceships for my mind odysseys). The tracks I downloaded from the new Zwan album didn't do anything for me as well: ok tunes but nothing remarkable. He doesn't like Sigur Ros, I hate their pretentious sounding overproduced ambientish artificiality (German Amazon review). Last but not least Radiohead's most critically acclaimed album OK Computer left me totally cold, Badger says "it sails right over his head".

I'd really like to know what he thinks of the new Massive Attack. There is something profound about it in the sense that it perfectly captures the current tense and sinister atmosphere though the vocal deliveries of O'Connor and Horace Andy are not really my cup of tea.

P.S. I am just listening to 100th Window again and realizing that I don't like 3D's voice neither (at least in the 1st song Future Proof). Maybe the only voice I ever liked in Massive Attack was Liz Fraser's. Though Daddy G was a nice change to the others. Bizarre that I like Massive Attack's music a lot but I don't like their singers. Did Tricky ever sing for them? I don't like his voice neither...
