Rose And Charcoal - Marisa Monte

Memories of Marisa Monte

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

on the album is 'Sou Seu Sabia' - a Caetano Veloso ballad that brings the album to a dreamy close. Although it won the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Album, 'Memories, Chronicles and Declarations of Love' is probably not Marisa Monte's strongest album. It doesn't quite reach the heights of the 'Rose & Charcoal (Verde Anil Amarelo Cor De Rosa E Carvão)' album released in 1994 and I certainly wouldn't go as far as some reviewers in describing this album as the "Pet Sounds" of Brazilian pop. Nevertheless, Marisa's suave expressive vocal combined with sumptuous accomplished musical arrangements and neat production by guitarist Arto Lindsay makes this an album very much worth listening to in any location. Tracks 1. Amor I Love You 2. Nao Va Embora 3. O Que Me Importa 4. Nao e Facil 5. Perdao Voce 6. Tema de Amor 7. Abololo 8. Para ...

Review of Memories Chronicles And Declarations Of Love - Marisa Monte

Roses are Red....

Advantages: Beautiful flowers, wonderful variety
Disadvantages: Take a lot of care

Unfortunately, I think this may be quite a long review, as I have so much to say about them! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESIGNING WITH ROSES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The beauty of the rose family is that it doesn't matter whether you choose old garden roses, for their gracious growing habit, foliage and scent, or whether you choose to grow modern roses for their very long flowering season or their fantastic blooms, the massive diversity of the rose family means ...

Review of Roses

Monte Carlo Or Fake Bust

Advantages: Richest Freak Show On The Planet
Disadvantages: Gaudy, Tacky and Fake

Prelude In August of this year I was lucky enough to spend a few weeks travelling Provence and the South Of France. Here is what I had written at the time of my Monte Carlo experience... After spending the last few weeks travelling the south of france in a motorhome, i thought i would share some of my experiences with you lucky lot and not least because i recieved the credit card bill through the post today! The journey into Monte Carlo is quite unimpressive, very industrial and stark contrast to the picturesque landscapes surrounding Monte Carlo. You get the first taste of its financial implications by the increased frequency of the tolls upon its approach. It seemed like there was a toll booth on the roads every 10 mins as opposed to the every couple of hours we had experienced around Provence. We arrived at night, a bit ...
