Potential rootkit installer with this CD.......2007-02-08

Apologies that I'm not commenting on the music, but buyer beware. This EMI CD displayed the following message when I tried to copy it to the music library on my hard disk:

"To listen to the CD a number of files need to be updated on your PC."

As another commentator on another EMI CD wrote: "From the research I was able to do on the Internet, this is a rootkit which is attempting to install. It is what Sony got in trouble for at one time."

I believe that commentator was correct. These rootkits have big security and performance implications. At least the Sony one caused serious performance slow down, and was very difficult for a non-expert to uninstall. So I do not recommend ever agreeing to "update a number of files". That's an innocent term for a very harmful practice.

It's a sad state of affairs that I cannot listen to this on my computer even though I paid for a legitimate CD.

Another great Madrugada album........2005-08-08

I liked this album from the first moment I first listened to the opening song of the album, "Kids are on high street" ... This is the first rock album I have truly enjoyed this year, and I think it is one of the best of Madrugada.
What I like in music , "The Deep End" has it all: great lyrics, great music and "fresh" sound. Sivert Høyem's vocals are excellent, and totally fit in to the music. I have been listening to the deep end again and again, enjoying the beautiful lyrics.
Great work again from Madrugada!

WOW!!!.......2005-05-03

What a great album from Norways most important rock group at this moment.
Sivert Høyem's selfconfident vocal grip's you like an eagles claw around your soul.
You can feel that he mean every word of those fantastic lyrics.
The great guitar-riffs and The suggestive bass from Robert Burås and Frode Jacobsen gives this album the sound which is unique for Madrugada.
This is possibly the best album ever from this group, and might be what gives them the international breakthrough they deserve.

Chillrock.......2003-12-23

Fabulous....really: what a voice. Seems to come right from the deep Norwegian fjords, echoing against the rocks.... The rifs are very infectious. Especially Norwegian Hammerworks Corp. Other highlights: Sirens, Strange colour blue, Electric, Salt. Good debute, easy-listening but outstanding quality!

Late night/Early Morning Western Sky.......2003-03-19

An amazing collection of songs, reminiscent of Grant Lee Buffalo(Phillips) and Mazzy Star. Not to be missed if you like either of them. This cd compels one to want to see this band perform live. It just seems like it would be special indeed.

This must be the best CD of 2000.......2001-11-21

This CD made it into the top 3 of my CD collection instantly. Very very good indeed. Sort of Tindersticks mixed with the Heroes del Silencio and a bit of Ry Cooder. "Vocal" is an absolute classic, together with "Shine" and "This Old House". Shame the band isn't very well known outside Norway because they really deserve it. I just ordered their latest album and from what I have read so far, it's even better than this one

Easy-going and relaxed, yet serious and warm.......2001-10-28

This is the first (full-lenght) cd of this magnificent band. I first heard "Nightly disease", so I already know that cd a bit better. This first cd is just as good as their second one; the songs of the second cd are maybe even more relaxed, warmer and mature than this songs. But also on this cd you hear what Madrugada makes so good and special: atmosphere, a (sometimes) seventies-sphere, excellent melodies and the very warm deep voice of the singer. Sometimes they sound like 16 Horsepower, and sometimes they sound like Nick Cave, the Doors or even like Cohen. The whole cd long you wonder why they sound just as spheric and warm as other Scandinavian acts like Sigur Ros or Bjork. Madrugada creates a wonderful environment, and they do that with nothing more than conventional instruments, a bit piano and a slice of pedal-steel guitar. Just beautiful!

Music-biz types hardly come more original and iconoclastic than singer-songwriter Lee Hazlewood. As a producer, songwriter, and label head, he helped launch the careers of Duane Eddy, Phil Spector, and Nancy Sinatra (and almost derailed Gram Parsons by forcing him to strip the vocals off the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo.) His songs placed wry, decadent lyrics atop attractive arrangements, and his baritone was deeper than Lake Erie. Hazlewood has frequently been covered by the alt-rock elite; Nick Cave, Neubauten, Knife in the Water, and Primal Scream have already recorded his songs. Hazlewood's strange little tunes, close cousins to those of Serge Gainsbourg and Scott Walker, invite interpretation, which Total Lee! delivers in spades. The standout track is British folk chanteuse Kathryn Williams's simple and pure "Easy & Me." But you've got to hear the Tindersticks' bleary take on "My Autumn's Done Come" and the Webb Brothers' positively uplifting "Some Velvet Morning." This might be the best tribute album since 1999's More Oar: A Tribute to Alexander "Skip" Spence --Mike McGonigal

A Worthy Compilation.......2003-02-19

For 30 years, whenever I heard the name Lee Hazlewood, all I could think of were the duets he did with Nancy Sinatra back in the sixties. I was a young teen then and considered them impossibly cheesy.
Over the years, my musical tastes have broadened considerably, so that when I read in a Nick Cave biography that he looked on Lee Hazlewood as one of his musical heroes, I decided to have a listen and hear what I've been missing. While searching the racks for Hazlewood CDs, I stumbled on this and decided to give it a shot.
I really had no idea what to expect as I was vaguely familiar with only two of the songs, but after three listens I was hooked. My favorite is the splendid interpretation of Summer Wine by Evan Dando and Sabrina Brooke, but I also really enjoyed The Webb Brothers on Some Velvet Morning, St Thomas on The Railroad, Erlend Oye on No Train To Stockholm, The Amazing Pilots' rendition of Soul's Island, and Kid Loco's take on If Its Monday Morning. Other songs are good too, and overall this recording features a smorgasbord of styles that give it broad appeal.
The songs selected were not all hits by any means, but are representative of the breadth of Hazlewood's writing. The CD comes with an informative booklet that features Hazlewood's commentary on each of the songs and is sprinkled with goofy pictures of him in various poses.
If you are at all musically adventurous, buy Total Lee! It is truly a worthy compilation.

Alternative Hazlewood.......2002-09-15

Lee Hazlewood's "Total Lee!" tribute could be subtitled "alternative artists discover Hazlewood." British label City Slang has put together an interesting mix of artists to showcase these songs. Other than Webb Brothers & Evan Dando, all the artists were new to me. The liner notes consist of a conversation with Hazlewood and come off as quite informal, sometimes helpful. Lambchop opens with a dense brief version of "I'm Glad I Never." Neal McNasty does a dense electronic reverb take on "Come On Home To Me." One of Lee's biggest hits with Nancy Sinatra, "Some Velvet Morning," is given an excellent update by Webb Brothers with vocals submerged under a guitar wash and synthesized keyboards. Valerie Leulliot & Calexico Feat tackle "Sundown Sundown" with a sound like a James Bond theme in Mexico. Johnny Dowd must be a band with its vocals on "Sleep in the Grass" split between male and female voices; the track is one of the less effective with corny accents. Nathan Bennet & St. Etienne do a sweet version of the Lee & Nancy song "Got It Together Again." My favorite track is St. Thomas' take on "The Railroad." Hazlewood compliments them as being better than the original artist! The vocal is enthusiastic; & the infectious percussion comes off like an alternative Tennessee Ernie Ford. Jarvis Cocker & Richard Hawley unearth an early 1956 Hazlewood hit, "The Cheat," with submerged snarling vocals and Stratocaster reverb. An acoustic "No Train to Stockholm" glides by Erlend Oye. Amazing Pilots do a very long, very spooky version of "Soul's Island." Lee's favorite is Kathryn Williams' take on "Easy & Me"; her beautiful voice with airy vocal flying above the acoustic guitars & the booming punctuation of drum. "My Autumn's Done Come" is a song about aging dreamily channeled by Tindersticks. Lee calls "We All Make the Little Flowers Grow" by Stephen Jones & Luke Scott "commercial as hell." It does have a happy bubbly rhythm. The familiar Lee & Nancy tune "Sand" is given a good reading by Calvin Johnson & Mark Pickerel whose voices alternate between a tenor and Johnny Cash-like bass. Sabrina Brooke & Evan Dando nail the spirit of "Summer Wine." "If It's Monday Morning" by Tim Keegan & Kid Loco concludes the CD with a rather strange arrangement of the song that even Hazlewood questions in the liner notes. "Total Lee!" is an adventurous look at an excellent songwriter's work. Most of it works well. His songwriting deserves to be honored. Enjoy!

excellent job.......2002-08-10

This album started it all.......2006-05-24

This album signaled the begining of a revolution. Although the recording and production are flaky to say the least, it is worth to note that this band was the underground vanguard in Buenos Aires. The original was sold in cassette only, and this is a remastered edition released long after the original, the sound engineers did a magnificient job (I owned the cassette version, and you had to love Sumo to hear that). But despite it all, there is a before-and-after this record. I recommend it. The songs go from the infinite sadness of being a stranger in a strange land (Teléfonos/White trash) to the cynicism of DE BE DE (Disco, baby, Disco). This was one of the many records made in Argentina out of blood and sweat, and after I listened to it 20+ years ago, it is still one of the favorites in my entire collection.
