Around the world in 80...minutes

Advantages: fresh, original and uncategorisable music
Disadvantages: none

It the beginning was the word, well a few words really and the words were “can you write some music for an Airline commercial?” Thus begins the story of Adiemus, a series of musical works that have now stretched to four albums, international fame and critical success. Its creator Karl Jenkins is now a well-respected composer in the field of classical music but his route to his exalted position today began in jazz music being a member ...
...the seminal bands of the 1970’s. Despite winning awards for his work with such bands and later for film scores and advertising music, it is perhaps the Adiemus projects that have become his best known work, a music that seems all encompassing in many ways and non-categorisable at the same time. A piece of work that Jenkins had in mind for another recording project was pitched to the aforementioned Airline company (Delta, if you must know), ...

Heavenly voices scale new heights

Advantages: Stunning tracks, beautiful arrangements
Disadvantages: The Heaven Re-mix!

...(Norbury, South London). For the New Dawn album, 24 boys from a variety of schools and backgrounds were bought together to create a distinctive sound - most of the choristers are trebles, and sing male soprano parts. The group is directed by Robert Prizeman, who often composes some of the music and rearranges other well known classical melodies to best show the talents of the members of Libera. So onto the album, New Dawn had a UK release date ...
...comprises of 15 tracks, 14 new and a re-mix of Heaven (from the album Free). The sound is distinctive - soprano/treble voices with a range of accompaniments, from organ to full orchestra. The tracks are varied and range from re-arrangements of recent hits, Orinoco Flow (Enya 1988) to established classics such as Bach's Air on the G string. The Tracks: 1) Orinoco Flow (words and music Enya, arrangement Robert Prizeman) A choral re-working of ...

FRANK SINATRA CHRISTMAS ALBUM

Advantages: JINGLE BELLS ALL THE WAY
Disadvantages: NOT SOMETHING I PLAY IN THE SUMMER

...find myself getting a Frank Sinatra craze (am I the only one ?). Is it because Frank Sinatra is one of the best singers of all time or is it the fact I love to sing along with his catchy lyrics maybe so, but did you know that Frank Sinatra was once called quote: "The Voice" because there's never been a better voice for a microphone than his. As a big fan of Frank Sinatra I have more than a few of his CD's but there's only one that will always find ...

I just haven't met him yet!!

Advantages: Some of his own songs, some classics
Disadvantages: None

...Georgia On My Mind and Crazy Love to name but a few. In my opinion he does a good job with each song, putting his own spin on it but still keeping the same essence of each song which I like. The rest of the album is as follows: "Cry Me a River" "All of Me" "Georgia on My Mind" "Crazy Love" "Haven't Met You Yet" "All I Do Is Dream of You" "Hold On" "Heartache Tonight" "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" "At This ...

Swinging and Swaying Into The Spotlight

Advantages: A superb mix of tracks on an accomplished debut album
Disadvantages: One or two weaker links.

...has been the Canadian crooner Michael Bublé. THE SINGER & ALBUM Grammy award-winning Michael Bublé burst on to the scene with his eponymous debut in 2003, which features a number of well-known covers spanning several decades of popular music. It was received extremely well by both the paying public and music critics alike, winning him the honour of Best New Talent at Canada’s 2004 Juno Awards (think the equivalent of the Brits). Along with ...
...one of my favourite George Michael songs, “Kissing A Fool”, and the Van Morrison classic “Moondance”. I bought the album on the back of hearing his rendition of “Come Fly With Me” and when I examined the track listing, I suspected he may have bitten off more than he could chew. It’s one thing to cover a Peggy Lee classic, which, perhaps a younger audience would not have heard so much – but another thing entirely to take on a consummate showman like ...
