Alice Deejay finds its inspiration at the nexus where house music meets Eurovision songwriting. The creative force behind Alice Deejay, and the voice fronting it, is a Dutch club DJ identified only as Judy. She's enlisted two other singers (Gaby and Jane) and a host of European house-music producers from the more pop end of the spectrum--people whose credits include remixing Ricky Martin's World Cup theme song and the Vengaboys. The result is a mixture of melodies that are heavily Europop with maybe a dash of contemporary U.S. Britney-'n'-Backstreet Top 40 over a beat that started with Giorgio Moroder in the late '70s, took a trip through the British Hi-NRG style in the '80s, and hasn't yet quit. The handiest comparison to someone who has combined a similar set of elements in an obviously successful way is to Cher and her hit "Believe," but the proof that crafting melodies that catchy is not easy is also on display. --Bob Bannister

Who Needs Guitars Anyway?.......2007-02-27

Two-fingered basslines, cosmic wooshes and thunderous Yamaha beats certainly don't make for quality music, but in the case of Alice Deejay's arrogantly-titled "Who Needs Guitars Anyway?", it makes for one heck of a party. Fuelled by the ubiquitous single "Better Off Alone"- arguably the most recognizeable mainstream electronica hit alongside Darude's "Sandstorm" and ATB's "9 PM (Til I Come)"- the album dives right into throbbing club stomps and trife lyrics. It's pure Velveeta, but the thing we Americans fail to realize about these bizarre Euro kids is their willingness to accept that cheese factor and just dance. Take it from that perspective, and you'll find a club record with surprisingly entertaining results.

5 stars for the 3 tracks, 0 stars for the rest........2007-02-07

There are only three tracks on this CD worth anything. Everything else is just OK. If you like "Better Off Alone" enough to spend the money, Definately buy this CD, otherwise; Download the tracks off of Itunes.

has its moments.......2006-09-16

here's the deal, I'll be quick. I loved 'better off alone' and the only other track that struck me as being nearly as good was 'lonely one'.. all the rest are not what you are going to be expecting if you are going for what you've heard on the radio. Trust me its a well done album as far as production goes, but the beats and vocals get quite repetitious to put it mildly.

Who Needs Guitars Anyway? ~ Alice Deejay.......2006-04-01

Who Needs Guitars Anyway?~ Alice Deejay is a steupendous trance album with amazing sounds, loops and beats. The lyrics are great and have that eurovision quality to it that is perfect for this kind of music. I especially like the fact that they have seemingly handpicked the keyboard sounds. I love songs like the lonely one, no more lies, back in my life and better of alone. I especially the brilliant keyboard sounds used for the track the lonely one and no more lies. The production value for the album is top notch. This is a must have album for dance parties and clubbing as Alice Deejay has created one of the best trance albums of all time.

It's Ok.......2005-11-21

As a fan of euro, goa, and some synthpop. I was impressed by this release. It had 4 good songs.

Back In my life
The Lonely One
Waiting for your love
No More Lies

The rest was kind of dull or too cheesy for my taste, but dont let my tastes stop you if you're into this style for the beats or if you like cheesier stuff.

Anyway The Wind Blows: The Anthology by J.J. Cale .......2007-01-09

Great compilation of the JJ Cale songs over the years. Most or all of the hits included with a vast array of the deep cuts you will learn to love. If you don't know JJ Cale's music this is a great album to have and if you know his music, but don't own it all, this covers it well.

Buy "Okie" instead.......2006-12-06

First off let's dispense with the packaging. The writing is inane, the photos look like a bad tv ad from the 90s. (an abandoned gas station, all rust and tumbleweed, Cale posed as ever-so-"americana" scruff. Please.) Cale IS a terrific musician, and an essential listen, but you'll be better served by "Okie" or any of his albums. This anthology misses Cale's genius entirely, choosing an endless series of same tempo shuffles. A listen to Okie reveals a very varied set of songs that flow easily and present an entire world of textures and rythmns. Cale is a studio wizard, related more to Brian Eno than to the lesser talents (like Clapton) who imitate his innovations. He arranges his recordings very carefully, as engineers are wont to do, and it is all about the sequencing and layering of sounds and meaning. Taken out of context, Cale's songs can seem slight and repetitious. So skip this ill-advised collection and buy any of the albums instead.

A MUST-HAVE FOR YOUR MUSICAL LIBRARY.......2006-11-10

A great reminder of where it all started.

Any Way The Wind Blowes.......2006-02-24

A most excellent album. Finally J.J. Cale is presented to the main stream! Love It !

RR

Distilled Spirit.......2004-05-15

While I'm a big fan of JJ Cale, I've long bemoaned the poor to mediocre sound on his recordings, and the less than first rate tunes (I hesitate to use the word "filler" with JJ) that populate all but his first couple of albums. What a consumate joy to get to hear all the instruments in the (remastered) mix instead of sonic mush. And the tracks are very well selected to give you most of the best of his work. I do miss "Clyde" and "River Runs Deep" from the first album, but minor carps for a masterpiece. Might be the best record ever made by a white musician. A serious mile melter on the road. Be sure to get the DVD too.

Amazon.com

For his third collaboration with director Sam Mendes (after American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption), composer Thomas Newman has come up with one of his finest scores. The music mixes modern atmospheric quasi-rock touches with Middle Eastern influences (with particularly great success on the tracks "Welcome to the Suck" and "Zoomies."). The latter manifest themselves in both the beats and the instrumentation--the credits include soloists on exotic instruments such as the bowed cumbus (a type of banjo-like lute) and the processed xaphoons (a sax made of bamboo). All the more jarring, then, when the CD's handful of songs pop up. (It's quite a jolt to hear Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" after four eerie instrumental tracks.) The other song picks are obvious but well chosen: T-Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," "Naughty by Nature's "O.P.P.," Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," and Tom Waits's "Soldier's Things." Still, it's Newman's work that propels this CD, not the pick-up songs. Surprisingly, Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries," which figures in one of the movie's most memorable scenes (when soldiers watch Apocalypse Now), isn't included here. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

You fools!.......2006-10-27

I am reading all the negative reviews of this soundtrack, and most of them mention the absence of Kanye West's "Jesus Walks." One reviewer gives the album one star because he was "misled" into buying the album.

Um, hello? This is an instrumental score for the film! NOT a Various Artists soundtrack! This is, you may have noticed, an album that falls under the name of Thomas Newman! If anyone bought this expecting other music, then it's entirely their own fault. It even says on the front: "MUSIC BY THOMAS NEWMAN."

That said, I'd also like to correct Amazon on something - they said this is Newman's third outing with Mendes, the other two being "Shawshank Redemption" and "American Beauty."

Shawshank was directed by Frank Darabont, NOT Sam Mendes.

Mendes' other pairing with Newman was actually on 2002's "Road to Perdition," which is another great soundtrack I'd heartily recommend purchasing.

Missing Theme Song - but otherwise not bad.......2006-03-01

If you've watched the previews for this film, you're likely expecting a song called Jesus Walks by Kanye West to be on the soundtrack but it's not there - very annoying. But otherwise it's a pretty good CD of music to listen to while you work out or drive fast.

Fine score, but a consumer warning for the CD.......2006-01-20

Thomas Newman's original music for JARHEAD is not only typically daring with many unconventional sounds (utilizing samples, electronic treatments and exotic percussion), but one of his most stirring, rock-influenced efforts as well (as with the opening track, "Welcome to the Suck"). At first I thought there were no melodies as memorable as "Dead Already" from AMERICAN BEAUTY or "Road to Chicago" from ROAD TO PERDITION, but the 3/4-time march used in both "Raining Oil" and "Desert Storm" has grown on me. Of course the CD is recommendable for Newman's score alone. But...

...while one doesn't buy a CD of this nature primarily for the extra songs, one does expect the extras to be competently presented when they appear. So I was taken aback to hear Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" at a faster tempo and higher pitch than usual, as though mastered from a sped-up tape. I can't think of any intentional reason for this, so I'm assuming it was a mistake, but either way I found it not only annoying in itself but because of "Fight the Power"'s thematic significance, with its reference to the Bobby McFerrin tune heard earlier in the movie. ("'Don't Worry Be Happy' was a number one jam/Damn if I say it you can slap me right here".)

So then, while I like the Thomas Newman score a lot, I'm docking the CD a star for the sped-up "Fight the Power". Caveat emptor.

Thomas Newman is a Genius!.......2006-01-07

Thomas Newman is brilliant as always and delivers beautifully. Having read the book prior to the motion picture, Thomas Newman truly brings Swofford's tale to life. If you enjoyed The Horse Whisperer or the Shawshank Redemption score, then you'll thoroughly enjoy Jarhead.

Almost perfect for the film, loses points as a cd.......2005-12-23

Make no mistake - Jarhead proves Thomas Newman's abillity to write music for film. He is not making the music in order to show off his amazing talents, he is making the music so it is perfect for the film. Whereas some composers might score depressing scenes with grand sweeping movements trying to make themselves look like complex composers, Newman knows what will enhance the scene and what won't, and what can convey the message required.

Ultimately, this describes Jarhead perfectly. I have seen the movie and music is seamless and perfect for it. For the most part, there is a sonic texture created, with guitars and drums to represent the bravado of the characters. If you are a fan of Newman's stirring orchestral works this is definitely not something you would like. Newer fans of "American Beauty" and the like will find things to enjoy here, but not in as vibrant or pleasing a way as in that album. The score on it's own is just not as exciting or involving as it could be. It is interesting in it's own right, but not very pleasing to hear. However, there are many good tracks interspersed throughout the score to take you to the good spot.

Overall, Jarhead warrants a 4.5/5 for the film, but on a cd, it's score drops to 3/5. It is pleasant at times, and mostly an interesting CD, but there are too many Newman masterpieces to consider this one high on your buying list. Then agan, if you are a Newman fan, this CD should satisfy you're urge to see what the guy is up to. Final score? Three out of five.

Album Description

What her peers are saying:

"I have always loved playing and singing with Amy because her talent challenges me to rise to the occasion. She has an adventurous spirit about music and instruments that shines thru on her new record. I am certain that a portion of my audience comes just to listen to her and watch her perform which I came to realize was a very good thing but now a very bad thing for the guy that is replacing her since she left me for bigger and better things." --Kelly Willis

"Amy Farris is one of the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. A virtuoso musician, an inventive songwriter and a soulful vocalist, she is equal parts rock and roller, jazzer and honky-tonk queen. Imagine if Blossom Dearie, Wanda Jackson, Lotte Lenya, Dolly Parton, The Ronettes and Exene Cervenka ever got together and started a band. She's that good, believe me." --Dave Alvin

"Amy Farris' talents as a singer/songwriter/instrumentalist know no bounds. "Anyway" is a great debut album. Somehow she manages to pay homage to her diverse influences without losing one ounce of her personality. No easy feat to pull off but Amy does it effortlessly." --Ben Vaughn

Amy Farris invokes a congress of spirits, from Kitty to Patsy to old time X. With a fiery fiddle and a voice to raise the roof, Amy Farris has arrived! " --Grant-Lee Phillips

Customer Reviews:

In Suspense.......2007-02-11

"Anyway" by Amy Farris is a good disc, particularly when she's in retro mode. Vocally, she may resemble Victoria Williams, Amy Rigby or Maria Muldaur, depending on the song. Some of the tracks here are standouts. "Hard to Say" has a swing emphasis that sounds like it came from Peggy Lee outtakes. "Undecided" mines the same western swing territory with Amy's voice a wry instrument, "I've been sitting on a fence & it doesn't make much sense 'cause you keep me in suspense." Bruce Robison's "Drivin' All Night Long" that opens the set keeps your toe tapping with its catchy road song chorus. John Doe & Exene Cervenka's "Poor Girl" is a strong track with Don Heffington's drums pounding relentlessly. Amy's own "No Exit" is probably my favorite track with Dave Alvin's electric guitar giving the arrangement bite & Tony Marsico's great bass line. Farris responds with sass & swagger, "Tomorrow gotta fake it, pretend I got some rest & kill anybody who says I must have slept." "Anyway" is a good set that pushes the boundaries with Dave Alvin's excellent production and Farris' violin and distinctive vocals. Enjoy!

If Gracie Allen Sang Country.......2006-04-13

I was not surprised to learn that Amy Farris was a Gracie Allen fan, for her music is a deliberately retro sound that conjours up the late Mrs. George Burns. This cd is a fun and uptempo album, centered on teasingly heartbreaking material that is never light or stupid. Amy Farris get plenty of opportunities to turn her hand to the fiddle she made her name with. It also has a nice mix of original material, like the Title Track, and covers of everyone from Bruce Robison (Driving All Night Long) to X (a bouncy cover of "Poor Girl" which managed to perfecetly capture the character of the girl in the song). All in all a stand out performance from a stand out new talent.

Nice, pleasantly eclectic rock-Americana mix.......2004-09-07

There are several swell, catchy songs that start this album off, with Austin scenester Amy Farris riding a fine line between indie and Americana tendencies. The country-ish stuff is the best, and while some of the more rock-oriented songs reveal some of her vocal limitations, on the whole this is a nice little record, with a cute DIY feel built around her off-kilter, mousy vocals, which bring Victoria Williams to mind, albeit with a more focussed musical vision. Nice record; worth checking out. I've enjoyed hearing Farris in the background of many Kelly Willis records; it's a treat to hear her taking center stage at last.

Mixed bag of pop and Americana with fine high points.......2004-05-06

Farris is a singer-songwriter-fiddler from Austin who's augmented her classical training with an impressive crash-course in Americana. After wood-shedding on tour with Alejandro Escovedo, she had the opportunity to tour and record with Austin luminaries like Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison and The Derailers. She's graduated with this debut CD, produced by legendary guitarist-singer-songwriter Dave Alvin.

Farris' voice has a good measure of the "little girl" sound of Julie Miller and Victoria Williams, which can sound twee at times. Alvin does a good job of hiding this, especially on the stellar double-tracked vocal of the title song (augmented by a superb baritone guitar solo) and the twangy "Pretty Dresses." The former brings to mind 60s girlgroup sounds like The Shangri-Las or Shelley Fabares, the latter adds Farris' fiddle and Rick Shea's pedal steel to a song that's equal parts Wanda Jackson and Connie Francis.

The album's eclectic mix includes Drifters-styled bass, maracas and violin on "Let Go" and jazzy crooning on "Undecided" and "No Exit." Farris' voice is a bit girly to fully carry the latter two, but her fiddle solo on "No Exit" is swings in a wonderfully laconic way. Covers include Bruce Robison's "Drivin' All Night Long," Scott Walker's moody "Big Louise," and X's "Poor Girl." The latter, winningly, has more of a wistful jangle than X's typical angst.

The variety that Farris and Alvin bring to this disc is admirable. They hit some fine high points (particularly when casting Farris in a '60s pop and country vein); the lower marks are worthy experiments that should help guide Farris' future application of her unusual voice.

Torn Away from the pages of 1988.......2005-10-14

I bought this when it came out in 1988, after seeing the band perform "Torn Away" on MTV. At that point, MTV was still playing a lot of hair metal (bon jovi, GNR, etc.), which i detested, so this stood out to me as different but still palatable to the general public. Torn Away is a upbeat rock song with a melodic hook, a catchy song that still sounds good today. The sax solo might date it a bit, but its no John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. The album is much less subversive and more polished than Husker Du and the Replacements, but not a total sell out either. A bit of country influence on some of the songs. It's not a great album, but it has its good points.

Mark Linkous of this band went on to form the better known Sparklehorse. The sound is not the same, but you might still like it.

EXCELLENT EP FOR PRONG FANATICS, BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE........2004-09-28

Prong is one of the greatest heavy metal bands ever. It's a pity that they never sold into the stratosphere like others, but listening to them now, it's easy to see that they were ahead of their time. The downtuned guitars and spirit vs. angst grooving could fit seamlessly into the nu-metal scene, except that it doesn't suck like Linkin Park, et. al. This is complicated, cold music that carries much truth and pain. Prong, for me at least, is eternal. I hope you find the same to be true, or at least explore their catalogue.

I purchased WHOSE FIST along with PRIMITIVE ORIGINS & FORCE FED after I fell in love with the more popular Prong CDs. This EP is more like a promo disc that a record company would issue than an EP of completely different material, but the remixes are really quite different from the album versions of these 3 PROVE YOU WRONG songs. The changes are definitely worth a purchase--Tommy & company are in top form on these different, but not dance, tracks. The Alice Cooper cover tune "Talk Talk" is the real gem here--they pound this simple little tune into the ground.

If you are a Prong collector, then buy this soon, as it is becoming rarer every day. If you are not, then you really should pick up Cleansing, Beg to Differ and Prove you wrong. This does make a nice add-on to the end of either Prove You Wrong or Beg to Differ if you want to burn it that way, too.

Support Prong in their newest incarnation on SCORPIO RISING, another great CD that just shreds. If enough of us buy the new CD, maybe Tommy Victor will abandon Danzig & keep venturing.

The Whiles.......2004-12-28

The Whiles, The Colors of the Year, was the best CD I have heard for some time. Its music wsa the best I've heard in a long time. I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Sweet Dreamy Rock.......2004-08-10

The Whiles, formerly "Mrs Children", offer strikingly original music that nevertheless sounds like something you remember from a happy time in your past. This is great music waiting for a great movie to feature it in the soundtrack. The lyrics, too, are carefully crafted and will stick with you to challenge and inspire. Put on this disk, unplug the phone, and dream.

An amazing album..........2004-07-04

Colors of the Year is just a superb album. I'd agree with the references listed above, maybe even a little Everly Brothers too. Just a damn solid disc from beginning to end. I'm highly impressed.

A wonderful start for a band with so much patential!.......2004-05-13

This band is a wonderful blend of amazing vocals and gifted musicians. Their debue Album "Colors of the Year" is some what similar to the sounds of The Smiths, Belle and Sebastian, and Ron Sexsmith. One of my personal favorites is "Necklace Jar" it is an amazing mix of a very catchy beat and vocals to back that beat up. I highly believe that this band needs to be heard, so check them out!

Customer Reviews:

A historical dance album.......2005-02-26

If you like this kind of music you can't go wrong with this album. There are at least 5 or 6 solid songs on here. The music is infused with femininity. Much of what came in the genre before this album was male dominated. Who needs guitars anyway is largely responsible for breaking the feminine barrier in the genre. A great dance album.

one more time!.......2004-08-22

This Cd is why i began to like the whole dance/trance genre after i heard the song better off alone on a radio station. After buying this cd, i was so pleased; this cd is repetitive but if you liked better off alone, then you'll love the whole cd no doubt. Even as it ages, this cd still is a favorite; not a one hit wonder. there are vocals and sometimes they're too much but only in certain songs. This CD even has plain instrumental/trance music songs which i love. My favorite songs are "back in my life" & "everything begins with an E" I only wish she'd make a new cd.

The is a very very good album...I found out of this artist while looking at a Sarina Paris cd (which is another good one) and I listend to the demos and they are some of my favorites I never seen before...I listen to this dance station and they play all her songs and I love it...I never saw this in stores but now I have it and I don't regreat it so Buy It a.s.a.p. if your really want somethiong to dance to!

Alice Deejay combines love and desperation better than any other electronic artist on the scene. "Her" work is dark, lonely, pure, even when it's exuberant -- "Better Off Alone" has been as successful as it has because it mixes a relentless forward motion with a carefully preserved "electronicness" -- so listening to this album is like being in the dark and *searching*, but loving the search.

Sure, the sound becomes repetitive in a few of the less emergent tracks; but it's the unity of the sound that holds the album together, and on the whole it's an advantage. "Fairytales" (the panned track 8) is hypnotic in an Annie Lennox kind of way; it takes its time. It's atmospheric like the ocean, dreamy like a lullaby, but still crisp, still rigidly structured and punctuated with vinyl rips, and it's a gorgeous contrast to the rest of the album.

Another winner (for you kindred spirits out there), furiously up-tempo like the bulk of the CD, is "No More Lies". I haven't heard such jubilant desperation since Skribble's remix of Olive's rendition of "I'm Not in Love", and this track tops Olive's detached notes with its own driven, hopeful/plaintive arcs. The zenith of the album tilts the CD's characteristic yearning angerward; play "I've Got to Get Away" while driving from a job you hate *once*, and you'll find yourself playing it every day.

All that said, some of the tracks are playful, teasing, and just plain fun, and there are enough anthems on this CD, and simple, soaring melodies, to please any electronic fan. The album works as a bridge, too, between top-40 remixes and the first stirrings of trance appreciation, so it's a friendly introduction for those who aren't (yet) in the know. In short: this album was made by clubbers *for* clubbers; it understands the many moods of clubbings, and it's with its listener every step of the way.
