U218 Singles (originally titled U218) is a greatest hits-style compilation album by the Irish rock band U2. This album was released in Ireland on 17 November 2006, in Australia on 18 November 2006, in the UK on 20 November 2006, and in the US on 21 November 2006. It contains eighteen songs altogether—sixteen of their most well-known and successful singles, as well as "The Saints Are Coming" (in collaboration with Green Day) and a new song "Window in the Skies"
Directly following his adventurous Another Hand, some listeners were disappointed with the fact that David Sanborn did not permanently switch from R&B/crossover to creative jazz. However, this CD is generally quite appealing and takes some chances within its genre. Although bassist Marcus Miller is once again an important collaborator, the emphasis is on "real" instruments, most notably the organ of Ricky Peterson; other musicians in the backup groups include John Purcell on various reeds, trumpeter Randy Brecker, drummer Steve Jordan and guest Eric Clapton, who takes a guitar solo on "Full House." The most unusual selection is the final cut, a version of Ornette Coleman's "Ramblin'" that finds Sanborn, Miller, Peterson and Jordan joined by the avant-garde trumpeter Herb Robertson. Overall, this is an above-average effort from the highly influential altoist.
In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 is the second official compilation album released by R.E.M. Issued in 2003, it includes tracks from their Warner Bros. Records era, from 1988's Green to 2001's Reveal, as well as two new recordings and two songs from movie soundtracks. The album was a huge success in the UK, the tenth best selling album of 2003, despite not being released until the last week of October.
Close-Up is very much a collaboration between altoist David Sanborn and Marcus Miller, who serves as producer, bassist and frequently the lead keyboardist. With the exception of Randy Newman's "Same Girl" and "You Are Everything," all of the music was written or co-composed by Sanborn and Miller. Some selections utilize such additional players as guitarist Hiram Bullock, keyboardist Ricky Peterson and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. In general, the music fits the formula well, offering Sanborn's emotional sax backed by then-modern electronics and funky rhythms, all of it designed for maximum radio airplay. Sanborn's recording is worthier than most of the output by his many imitators, but one senses that even he knew he could do much better.
Думаю, не будет преувеличением назвать Songs Of Faith And Devotion одной из лучших работ Depeche Mode за всю их творческую деятельность. Альбом получился очень цельным, ровным и - по-настоящему впечатляющим. Эксперименты и уже наработанные приемы, подлинное "стихийное" вдохновение и богатый опыт - все это сконцентрировано здесь в наиболее удачных пропорциях. Однако, нельзя не отметить, что Depeche Mode постепенно отходят от синти-попа и в большинстве песен тяготеют уже к року, готике и даже техно. Впрочем, стилистические "шатания" ничуть не сказываются на качестве музыкального материала - из десяти альбомных треков семь песен с полным правом могут быть включены в любой The Best Of. Поэтому пройти мимо этой пластинки нельзя ни одному настоящему меломану. Даже если вы не являетесь поклонником Depeche Mode, диск на вас произведет неизгладимое впечатление.
