Album Description

International pressing. Jane Birkin is of course best known in the UK for her 1969 duet with Serge Gainsbourg, Je t'aime (Moi Non Plus), where she panted her way to the top of the charts, however she has appeared in over 50 films, been a star of numerous theatre productions and recorded more than a dozen albums. Jane has expertly delved into her own past and handpicked a bouquet of different emotions for this album. A wonderful team of songwriters (Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy, Magic Numbers, Beth Gibbons, Rufus Wainwright, Arthur H, Dominique A, Cali and others) have slipped original compositions in between a few timeless pieces (including covers of songs by Tom Waits and Neil Young) under the direction of Renaud Letang and Gonzales, whose orchestrations are unmistakable. Singing most often in English, her innocent voice nestles as never before within a series of deceptively fragile arrangements, accentuated by Johnny Marr (the former Smiths front-man, who only gets his guitar out for a select few, like Bryan Ferry and Pet Shop Boys). Jane Birkin gives a lot in Fictions - a lot of herself, of course, and certainly more than enough to continue to please her audience on both sides of the Channel. EMI. 2006.

Fictions without the jet lag.......2006-07-26

I was in Toronto on business a few months back and was excited to be able to have this playing in my cd player. The song "Home" has some of the most thought provoking lyrics on what home means to anyone. The song caught me at a moment in time when I was "packing and unpacking" and thinking over what was "in my suitcase". Ok...she may not be writing these great lyrics but can you hold this against her? How about Joe Cocker for that matter? This woman brings a uniquely Brittanic spirit to the glass of rum on the rocks in which we live on this planet Earth with our troubles, blues, toils, hopes and disappointments. Stephen Stills may have said "the blues ain't funny" but who has ever been hanged for having a sense of humour over watching the ashtray get dumped into the kitty litter box?

Buy this cd if you want beautifully crafted melodies kissed against the caresses of a woman enamoured with Baudelaire lost in his suitcase among today's modern day city streets.

One of the most talented of our time..........2004-04-30

Asian Dub Foundation are perhaps one of the most innovative and talented groups of this era. Master D's rhythmically cound lyrics show a distinct style, along with chandrasonic's trippy eastern guitar riffs and Dr Das' drum n' bass-like bass beats. Almost every song they produce is a pleasure to listen to.
i would buy this album immediatley if i didn't have it, along with their other albums.

ADF's Brilliant But Often Forgotten Debut.......2003-02-08

"Facts and Fictions" was originally released in 1995 and when it came out, sounded like nothing else. Because critics couldn't categorize it, ADF's debut was soon forgotten as most of England was lost in a euphoric haze of MOR Brit Pop. This is a true shame because "Facts and Fictions" clearly foreshadows the birth of ADF's incredible vision. Musically the album combines many diverse styles including early jungle/drum and bass, hip hop, Bengali folk music, hindi filmi, bhangra and good guitar Brit pop, to name a few. There is also an unmistakable Bengali culture stamp throughout the album (two of the members are of Bengali background...Aniruddha Das, A/K/A Dr. Das and Deedar Zaman A/K/A Master D, who incidentally is the younger brother of Sam Zaman of State of Bengal fame). The brilliant "Rebel Warrior" (later to be re-recorded on "Community Music") which was influenced by one of the most famous poems of the great Bengali renaissance man Nazrul Islam (second only to Tagore) ends with a call for unity amongst Hindus and Muslims...truly the greatest issue facing Bengalis today. On the track "Strong Culture" there's also a shout out to Bangladesh...a musical first! But one of the most impressive statements on the album which foreshadows ADF's future brilliance in combining very diverse musical tapestries to create a sonic masterpiece is "Tu Meri". Starting out with some Indian samples, it breaks out into a tight early 90's hip hop attack. By the second half of the track thanks to the highly innovative Chandrasonic (Steve Chandra Savale), we get into a riff of what Brit Pop should sound like, then it is juxtaposed with a Sarangi sample...if this isn't ADF at work, I don't know what is. All the raw ingredients of ADF are on this album, the lyrics, the strong and very successful musical experimentation, and the early stages of Master D's rapping (who was still only 15/16 when ADF recorded this one). "...it's an education, the sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation" ...true dat!

Album Description

"you will be moved … subtle and intricate … you can palpably feel the atmosphere shift … somewhere amid the dreamy echoes of yo la tengo … it moves from the inside out … in other fictions comes with a mighty recommendation; prepare to be overwrought, and thoroughly electrified, by the unassuming … the kind of music that reminds you of the sound of snow falling … unlike low or arab strap, listening to argentine does not automatically reinforce whatever melancholy feelings may have been dwelling you … you will be drawn along on the tether of their melodies, and emerge almost happy" - lost at sea
