Veils - the Runaway Found
year: 04 review: The Runaway Found is a weathered debut album. With less focus on making an eager first impression than most bands emerging from the post-grunge era, the Veils consume themselves with a rock canvas rooted in singer/songwriter Finn Andrews' folk upbringing. An unjaded view of romance and desire is cast, and the Veils' sincerity is far from hidden from the stormy design of the album's atmospheric backdrop. The Runaway Found basks in its glorious pop spotlight simply because it enjoys the heat, and such a surefire introduction is bound to be impressive. Andrews, who was just 17 and 18 when he composed the songs found here, is confident and sensitive, much like Richard Ashcroft and the late Jeff Buckley. Whether his heart is broken or mended, Andrews' songwriting is reflective of hope and regret. Andrews' lyrics and the Veils' mature presentation complement one another, further indicating the Veils' sharp ear for keeping things just so. From the majestic melodies of "Guiding Light" and "The Leavers Dance" to the thunderous clamor of "More Heat Than Light," The Runaway Found never loses its momentum. more...>

Pan's Labyrinth Soundtracks
year: 06 - review: For the soundtrack to Guillermo Del Toro's dark fairy tale, PAN'S LABYRINTH, Spanish composer Javier Navarrete conjures up a lushly orchestral score that mixes child-like whimsy with spine-tingling tension. Navarrete, who also worked with Del Toro on his lauded 2001 ghost story, THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, is at his best when blending the wondrous with the ominous, as on the shimmering, haunting "Rose, Dragon"--often recalling David Lynch's frequent collaborator Angelo Badalamenti.

Enrique Iglesias - Insomniac
Genre Latin Pop Popular Pop |
Everything about INSOMNIAC is designed for crossover appeal. The album is almost entirely in English, and the inclusion of club-oriented tracks--such as "Push," which features a cameo by rapper Lil Wayne, and "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)"--are a clear appeal to young, hip audiences. Yet Iglesias still plays the sexy crooner without missing a beat ("On Top of You"), and also sings a couple songs in Spanish to keep his Latin listeners in the loop ("Alguien Soy Yo"). In short, Iglesias covers all the bases on this sharp, stylish release, adding even more fuel to his reign as the king of contemporary Latin pop.
