MCMXC A.D.

Artist: Enigma
Genre: Dance & DJ
Label: Virgin Records Us
My Rating:
Rating: 4.5 (145 votes)
Release: 1992
Summary: So much unnecessary fuss was made over Enigma's juxtaposition of the sexual and sacred. After all, Prince had been doing it for years, and his take on it was far more interesting--and a lot more daring. But Enigma's "MCMXC A.D." did manage to work a lot of people into a lather, both on the dance floor and behind the pulpit. Their inclusion of chanting monks in "Sadeness," over wooshy ambient noises and a slower hip-hop-appropriated beat was a sensation. "Callas Went Away" promised more than it could deliver, although "Mea Culpa" stands as one of the few shining moments on the CD. The idea of mixing new age aural wallpaper with beats that you can do a slow grind to is actually rather intriguing. Spicing it up with controversial religious chants isn't a bad idea either. But there's got to be something personal to it. After the initial novelty wears off, there's nothing to "MCMXC A.D." other than bland, cold, impersonal repetition. Now, that might be what most people are used to, but what's so sexy about it? --"Steve Gdula"


 

The Mirror Has Two Faces: Music From The Motion Picture

Artist: Marvin Hamlisch
Genre: Pop
Label: Sony
My Rating:
Rating: 3.5 (14 votes)
Release: 1996
Summary: Marvin Hamlisch's lightweight score and overworked title theme dominates this orchestral original soundtrack for Barbra Streisand's poorly-received romantic comedy. Babs and Bry (Adams) go through the motions on "I Finally Found Someone," while the Streisand-crooned "All of My Life" and Richard Marx's "The Power Inside of Me" are likely sequels. "--Jeff Bateman"


 

Mixed Up

Artist: The Cure
Genre: Alternative Rock
Label: Elektra / Wea
My Rating:
Rating: 4.0 (38 votes)
Release: 1991
Summary:
The Cure have been a band of many questions to who they are. Are they a pop/rock band or just simply a pop band?. With some songs relating to neo-Gothic imagery and NIN 'Pretty Hate Machine' style lyrics, the Cure were a bit of a mystery at the time of their arrival in the late 80's. Even though the Cure were a cool band, it was this album of mixed tracks that made their cool songs even cooler. I first came across this album in 1991 when I was 7 years old. At the time, it was a breath of fresh air from other bands that were around at that time. I had heard of all of the Cure's classic songs before hearing them re-mixed on Mixed Up. It was at a time of Depeche Mode, Guns 'N' Roses and Nirvana, that the Cure grew on me the more I listened.

Such tracks that stand out are:
'Lullaby', being one of the best opening tracks that I have heard on an album. Still to this day. After hearing this opening song on this album, one can predict instantly what the rest of the album will sound like. Slow paced, cool and relaxing.
'Fascination Street' is a simple yet effective and very chilled song that is hard to hate.
'Lovesong' is one of my favourite tracks on this album as it is a very catchy track that will inspire.
'A Forset' is a very smooth and relaxing tune that isn't great but not bad either.
And the final track that stood out for me on this album is 'Hot Hot Hot!!!'. A classic Cure song that is extremely bassy and catchy.

Other songs are just ok, but the songs listed above are the ones that stand out the most. To some this album may be a little bit on the depressing side, and others will find this to be a very chilled out album with rythmic guitars, electronic keyboarding and simple lyrics. A lot of people have complained of the past of Robert Smith's vocals as being too mumbly and drunken. That is true, but Robert Smith's singing technique actually works for these songs and I can't imagine them being sung any other way. Smith's voice does take time to get used too and when that happens, the addiction of the Cure starts to kick in and soon the listener will start whistling the classic tunes. Sure i've been whistling the songs of the Cure to myself since 1991.

Today, Mixed Up sounds a bit outdated and very old, but the songs are still great and still live on to this day.
In conclusion, this album is worth 3 or 4 stars and definetly not worth 2 or even a 1 star rating. However, 5 stars may be exaggerating a bit too much as this is a great album but not an excellent one. Robert Smith is still considered as one of Britian's great song writers and Mixed Up is still considered as a classic album. For me, Mixed Up by The Cure brings back a lot of memories.

MTV Unplugged

Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Genre: Alternative Rock
Label: Elektra / Wea
My Rating:
Rating: 4.5 (47 votes)
Release: 1993
Summary: The 10,000 Maniacs have been around since 1981, and it has been a great ride. This album came out in 1993, and features Natalie Merchant's excellent vocals. The band survived Natalie's move to a solo career, and she has done well on her own, but I must say that this album is when they all reached their absolute peak! With the excellent instrumentation and Natalie's beautiful voice, this is a great album to listen to.



I love this album, and its mix of bouncy and soulful tunes, especially These Are Days, Jezebel and Because The Night. This is a great album, one that is sure to please anyone who loves great music, especially unplugged music. I love this album, and give it my highest recommendations!
