Only The Best Of Lou Monte - Lou Monte

value for money lou lou is great

Advantages: great value for money and excellant staying power
Disadvantages: may not be to everyones liking due to strength of scent

Having purchased a bottle of LouLou a couple of weeks ago while on a tight budget and needing a new bottle of fragrance, I was pleasantly supprised at the scent considering that it only cost me £10. Lou Lou has quite a strong fragrance in my mind which I suppose may not be to everybodies liking, but is great if you like a perfume that lasts. After one spray the scent lasted all evening, unlike certain other perfumes which have cost me four times as much, and I have had to re spray every half an hour. Because of this the bottle lasts a much longer time saving you even more money. The scent is hard to describe, exept that it is not floral or fruity but more musky i suppose. The main draw back to this is that the bottle and packaging of the fragrence look very plain and old fashioned in my opinion ...

Review of Cacharel Lou Lou

Lou's Best Moment

Advantages: Totally original
Disadvantages: none

Tracklisting 1. Berlin 2. Lady Day 3. Men Of Good Fortune 4. Caroline Says I 5. How Do You Think It Feels 6. Oh, Jim 7. Caroline Says II 8. Kids, The 9. Bed, The 10. Sad Song I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone who has just bought Transformer because they like Perfect day or Walk on the Wild Side or anyone with just a passing interest in the man. This is not an easy listen - its Lou Reeds concept album about the breakdown of a marriage between Jim & Caroline and the mental collapse that follows. It was produced by Bob Ezrin - a legendary producer who has worked with everyone from Lou to Pink Floyd to Janes Addiction - and the album sounds like it was recorded in Reeds head. Opening song Berlin sets the tone with its creepy opening bars and its sparse lyrics about how they met by the Berlin Wall ...

Review of Berlin - Lou Reed

Memories of Marisa Monte

Advantages: Sumptuous arrangments and the voice of Marisa Monte.
Disadvantages: 'Rose & Charcoal' is a better album.

I first remember hearing this album on a warm steamy tropical afternoon in 2003 whilst swinging in a hammock beside a riverbank. I'd kind of forgotten I still had the CD and have only recently started playing it again after rediscovering it at he bottom of my CD collection. It is all to easy to place Marisa Monte's music into the category of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira - Brazilian Popular Music) - a type of urban popular music that emerged in the 1970s with artists such as Chico Buarque, Maria Bethânia and Gal Costa. MPB evolved from the Bossa Nova period that dominated the 1960s and the subsequent 'Tropicália' movement led by Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Like European and North American pop music, MPB combines many influences derived from contemporary folk and rock, but often borrows heavily from traditional Brazilian Samba ...
