Average Rating:
 Rating:  - disappointment..I was expecting much more, this album has nothing to do operatic pop honestly. The first song solvejg's song is ok, but other than that nothing to do with operatic pop..think two time if you decide to buy. Rating:  - Oh dear...they've taken their eye off the ballThis is not much like their first album (which was a mostly clever, sometimes ham-handed combination of operatic arias and modern electronic instrumentation). But Shine is pretty much the same ethno-electronica that was pervasive throughout the 90s. Think Deep Forest, Anubian Nights, Enigma, B-Tribe, and even Sting's "Desert Rose". Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn. Their first album was good mostly because of its orginality (operatic arias are definitely a challenge), but any old fool can slap a "cool" Middle Eastern chant over a modern beat. What bugs me about both albums is that they don't maintain that singularly operatic quality--it seems to be a sonic delicacy reserved only for a few tracks. So, with a ...

It is so good that Billboard Music called it the best classical crossover of the year! I would call this music techno opera scene from the future with beautiful opera singing, just to give you an idea of what this music is like! Also, the singer from the Fifth Element soundtrack, Inva Mula sings the song "Mon Amour". Also singing on this cd is a singer named Shakila. She sings on "Kokab" and "Khodoya". These three are my favorite tracks. Though the cd in whole is a joy to listen to. We'll say that "Operatica-Shine" succesfully bridged the Middle East to Europe via southern ...

I think this album is a great replacement for Barry White, or some other R&B that people often equate with mood music. These sounds will actually get your heart pounding and blood pumping without forcing you to constantly skip over songs that just get too rowdy. Rating: - Very good, yet not comparable to Diva DanceLet me start out by saying that i love this cd. i bought it thinking that it would be like the song Diva Dance from the Fifth Element. It is most certainly one of my favorite cd's but it is nothing like the Diva Dance song. All of the tracks are much slower, focusing more on the opera part, as opposed to the techno/pop. i would still give this cd a splendid 4 out of 5 stars, but i would just like to get across the point that it doesn't have the type of songs that are advertised. thanks. |
