While not a soundtrack per se, this suite of songs was inspired by Claude Lelouche's And Now...Ladies and Gentlemen (2001). In the film, French singing star Patricia Kaas portrays a nightclub chanteuse suffering from a brain tumor who falls for a similarly afflicted thief (played by Jeremy Irons.) Given the plotline, it¹s not surprising that the tunes are drawn primarily from the classic chanson tradition. But strangely, Kaas interprets most of them in the maudlin English translations once favored by the Rat Pack, Rod McKuen, and Bobby Darin. Even so, and despite her consistently over-cautious phrasing, the vocals are attractively languid and husky, inflected with a dead-pan world-weariness that Marlene Dietrich would have recognized. However, it would be pleasant to hear Kaas essay this repertoire in a more intimate, warm-toned setting. As it is, her voice is periodically overwhelmed by echo plus poorly calibrated electric bass and keyboard lines. --Christina RodenCustomer Reviews:

Rather touching and beautiful in a "world weary" way!!!.......2007-01-11
The album consists of chansons, torch songs and standards, mainly sung in English, not that French bothers me at all! (in some ways, I probably would have preferred it if more of the songs were sung in French) However, Patricia Kaas has won me over on this album with her very stylish and touching renditions of these songs. She sings with precision and style. She phrases the songs well, sings with directness and simplicity, and she doesn't resort to anything overwrought or hysterical, overall, her approach is that of a mature and intelligent adult. Does that make any sense?! Probably not. Most of the songs have a melancholy nature and expect a lot of music in minor keys!
This album sounds very good late at night and I like to listen to it whilst having a glass of wine on my own. Yes, I do feel the urge to shed a tear or two when I listen to Piano Bar.
AH! AT LAST A REAL SINGER.......2006-02-26

A pop/rock masterpiece from Argentina of all places!.......2003-02-07
Como entender los '80.......2001-12-28
En 1985 Charly García ya había pasado por bandas como Sui Generis y Serú Girán, las cuales le habían cambiado la cara al rock argentino de fines de la década del '70. Ya además había editado dos excelentes discos solistas. Y este disco en sí mostró no sólo la representación misma de la vanguardia musical en la cual descansaría el rock local, sino que también una inteligente lectura de la realidad de aquél momento.
Restaurada la democracia, la juventud argentina intentó, sin olvidar, despegar del pasado de la represión más atroz. Eran tiempos de alegría y de una libertad tan desmedida que asustaba y a la vez fascinaba.
Charly García, obviamente, no era ajeno a todo este sentimiento y volcó en este disco su visión de una sociedad que todavía tenía las heridas sin cerrar pero la cual se debía a si misma una cierta cuota de optimismo. Conviven en este trabajo momentos de rabia contenida como en "Demoliendo Hoteles" y "Cerca de la revolución", momentos de reflexión personal como en "Promesas sobre el bidet", retratos de nuevas tendencias en el pensamiento y en la forma de actuar "Raros peinados nuevos", un ácido resúmen de diez años de historia argentina digno de cualquier manual escolar "Rap del exilio" y algún lugar para la melancolía de un artista que quizo siempre comprar su paz mental a través de la música como en "Piano Bar" y "Total interferencia".
Como si todo eso fuera poco, García esta acompañado por músicos de la talla de Pablo Guyot, Willy Iturri y Alfredo Toth (quienes luego formarían GIT), Daniel Melingo (quien luego sería parte de bandas fundamentales como Los Twist y Los Abuelos de la Nada) y nada menos que Fito Páez.
El retrato de una época tanto musical como emocional, de un artista al que muchos tildan de loco todavía, pero en el cual muchos confiamos por su más que acertada visión de la realidad.

Amazon.com
Philips's collection of major works that have propelled Gavin Bryars to New Music stardom is an effective overview of his music. The longest work is his Cello Concerto, handsomely played by Julian Lloyd Webber with a big, colorful tone and sustained intensity throughout its contemplative half-hour. A comparable mood pervades the bright tintinnabulating textures of the whimsically titled One Last Bar, Then Joe Can Sing. Similar as well, in their attractive serenity and suppressed sadness, are many of the other works here, prime among them the viola concerto in all but name, The North Shore, a tone painting of the rugged cliffs of northeast England. Adnan Songbook, settings of six poems by Lebanese poet Etel Adnan, are beautifully sung by soprano Valerie Anderson and delicately scored for a small ensemble. Bryars's biggest hits, The Sinking of the Titanic and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet, have inspired him to numerous reworkings and capsuled fragments. They're represented by Titanic Lament, depicting a hymn tune dissolving into gray, watery textures, and two very different four-minute versions of Jesus' Blood, both with Tom Waits. Some will find Bryars's brand of minimalism veering too closely to New Age music, but others will immerse themselves in a sound world of originality and refined beauties. --Dan Davis
