Children Of Men - Soundtracks
Finally -- the definitive version of Joe South's "Hush" (sorry, Kula Shaker). With a cornucopia of genres and artists, this could be the best film soundtrack of 2006. Junior Parker's beatnik take on the Beatles' psychedelic opus "Tomorrow Never Knows" is cooler than sunglasses. And the fact that King Crimson's proggy anthem "Court of the Crimson King" showed up is as awesome as it is weird. John Lennon's rehearsal take of "Bring on the Lucie" is so intimate you'll feel like you were sitting in. And the Kills, the Libertines and Jarvis Cocker keep things fresher than a new pair of kicks.
Eagles - Desperado
There is a long way between the recording of this album and many of our lives today but make no mistake_ this is one of there very best. This has truly stood the test of time and will live on as surly as any Beatles album. while some albumsx from this time sound dated, this sounds as fresh as the days it was recorded. I'll always love it and even my kids do.
Ani DiFranco - Out Of Range
notes: Personnel: Ani DiFranco (vocals, acoustic, steel & electric guitar, piano, percussion); Andy Stochansky (vocals, dumbek, drums); Scot Fisher (accordion); Colleen Allen (saxophone); Sara McElcheran (trumpet); Stephen Donald (trombone); Chris Brown (piano); Alisdair Jones (bass). Recorded at 1:2:1 Recording Studios, Toronto, Canada in December 1993. 1994's OUT OF RANGE, quite possibly the finest of Ani DiFranco's many albums, finds the outspoken Buffalo, New York-based singer-songwriter moving away from the explicit political statements of her earlier records. Here she further explores the more autobiographical terrain of this album's immediate predecessor, PUDDLE DIVE, while also expanding on that album's tentative steps into a full-band sound. Although OUT OF RANGE still contains several voice-and-guitar pieces, Andy Stochansky's drumming and percussion are better integrated. Keyboards and horns also make guest appearances. Overall, the intimate, not-quite-lo-fi album sounds not unlike Liz Phair's EXILE IN GUYVILLE, a fact that probably helped trend-sniffing music journalists finally notice DiFranco-four years and six albums into her career. The astonishingly good songwriting, particularly on the stirring "Face Up and Sing" and the winsome "The Diner," undoubtedly helped as well. This is one of the '90s finest singer-songwriter albums.

review:There's a reason some things are clichés. My choice of Patti Smith's Horses as an irreplaceable desert island keepsake must appear such a pandering to the canon that I winced when I settled on it. Although to be honest, as much as there were other candidates to consider, I really had little option when it came right down to it. Over the accelerating years, I've bought this album in vinyl form, cassette, and on CD (in England, Calgary Alberta, and Vancouver respectively).
Beach Boys - Party
Capitol, which had already released ten Beach Boys albums in three years, was bugging the group for product that it could release in time for the 1965 Christmas season. To buy time while Brian Wilson began conceiving the Pet Sounds masterpiece, the group issued a set of covers, mostly of the '50s rock and R&B they had listened to as schoolboys. Packaged as if it had been recorded at an actual party, it was in fact recorded in the studio, with friends and romantic partners adding sounds and vocals to create an informal atmosphere. With the exception of a bass guitar, all the instruments were acoustic; the acoustic guitar-and-bongo arrangements, in fact, give this a hootenanny campfire feel. In recent years, this album has gone up a few notches in critical esteem, praised for its loose, casual feel and insight into the group's influences. Realistically, though, its present-day appeal lies mostly with dedicated fans of the group, as fun and engaging as it is. Others will find the material shopworn in places, and the presentation too corny. It does have the massive hit "Barbara Ann," which actually features Dean Torrence (of Jan & Dean) on much of the lead vocals; other highlights include "Mountain of Love," an unexpected version of "The Times They Are a-Changin'," and three Beatles covers.
