Crystal Ball

Search: These Are The Days
by: Prince

Release Date January 05, 2001
This was marketed as a four-disc set. However, at the time, he sold it on his website with a fifth bonus disc entitled "Kamasutra". I own it. Just trying to give you collectors something to go after!!! Anything Prince does is worth buying!!

Ghettoblaster

Search: These Are The Days
by: Socalled

Release Date June 12, 2007
Great album. If you like good music, rap and sampling then you will like this album (or you are wrong). While not quite good enough to ascend to the level of Avalanches (Since I Left You) and Pepe Deluxe (Spare Time Machine), it is definitely just as enjoyable. A great album with great songs. Check out the music video for You are Never Alone on youtube! The bottom line is that a Jewish Canadian makes better rap than you will EVER hear on MTV.

Ether Song

Search: These Are The Days
by: Turin Brakes

Release Date March 10, 2003
Turin Brakes is one of those excellent British bands that hasn't gotten much attention in the American mainstream yet, along with the guys in South, Elbow and Mercury Rev. And after their shimmery space-folk album "Ether Song," their second, we can see that this is totally undeserved.

A spacey organ buildup, a trippy beat and a folky guitar open the first song, "Blue Hour." This song sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its mix of spacey shoegazer and folk-rock, set to angsty lyrics about "let the sun be done/let the air wash the city clean." It's one of those songs that gets deeper and more layered the more you listen to it.

But the album really catches your attention with the soft, rising "Long Distance," which is ... Read More:

Ether Song/Optimist

Search: These Are The Days
by: Turin Brakes

Release Date September 13, 2004
Despite the rise of bands like Travis and Muse (not to mention Radiohead and Coldplay) some British rock bands don't get the attention that they deserve. One such band is the U.K. duo Turin Brakes, whose albums "Optimist LP" and "Ether Song" show off their unique space-folk-rock.

They debuted in 2001 with "The Optimist" LP, and immediately gained a reputation from its spacey, floaty brand of folk music. Ollie Knights provides gentle wobbly vocals, while Gale Paridjanian provides everything else, folky guitar solos and the odd dash of keyboard. It's a good album, although it needed some beefing up.

That beef-up came with their sophomore album, "Ether Song." Here Knights and Paridjanian experiment with their spacey folk sound, adding ... Read More:

Sallinen: Kullervo

Search: These Are The Days
from: Ondine

Release Date February 01, 1995
I loved this opera. Had not known his operas, before. We are treated to the mastery of baritone Jorma Hynninen,as Kullervo,bass Matti Salminen as his doomed father,Kalervo & tenor Jorma Silvasti as his brother,Kimmo, who sings the magical closing scene with touching awe. The entire cast is perfection. I wish there were a DVD of this production. One of the enjoyable qualities about Sallinen's composing is that it is accessible without being simplistic. There is total cohesiveness to the music and scenes that bear the feeling of authenticity without kitsch. By its absence, the sometimes egocentric 'look at how clever I am' of contemporary musicians, is put to shame by the intellectual & artistic maturity of the entire undertaking.

Saint of Bleecker Street

Search: These Are The Days
by: Menotti, Melinek, Richards, Steven, Hickox

Release Date April 23, 2002
Menotti never bowed to the pressure of the atonal conventions that surrounded his composing life because in doing so he would have been untrue to his own melodic voice, and never has that choice been more glorious vindicated than here. Long regarded by the composer as his masterpiece, this opera is an intensely moving and often painful expression of his own struggle to come to terms with the tensions of his Catholic faith. In the unfettered voice of a Latin composer he gives voice to his profoundest feelings, drawing from a rich operatic tradition that includes not only Puccini but even Prokofiev, Gershwin and Bernstein (he spent a great deal of his early life in America), whilst remaining unquestionably himself. The singing and conducting are all one could ... Read More:

Queen En Espanol: Tributo a Queen

Search: These Are The Days
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 28, 1997
Para mi que soy una fantica que Queen, me parecio que el tema cantado por el grupo Fobia fue el mejor.
La voz de Leonardo de Lozanne se eschucha perfectamente bien. Ademas el tema tiene el mismo ritmo de musica.
Ahi canciones en el disco que no son parecidas a las originales, ejemplo Bohemian Rhapsody.
Pero apesar de esto le doy 5 estrellas!!
