Whitesnake  x  Slide It In  _

"(...) but 1984's Slide It In turned out to be an even greater triumph for David Coverdale's Whitesnake. From the boisterous machismo of "Spit It Out" and "All or Nothing" to the resigned despair of "Gambler" and "Standing in the Shadow," and the embarrassingly silly title track, everything seems to click. For hit singles, look no further than the twin guitar attack of "Guilty of Love" and the sheer poetry and emotion of "Love Ain't No Stranger," one of the decade's greatest power ballads, bar none. Not to be outdone, "Slow an' Easy" is a masterpiece of sexual tension and the kind of power-blues which no one does as well as Whitesnake."   (www.allmusic.com/album/slide-it-in-mw0000192426)

A1]   Shout A2]   The Working Hour A3]   Everybody Wants To Rule The World A4]   Mothers Talk B1]   I Believe B2]   Broken B3]   Head Over Heels B4]   Broken (Live) B5]   Listen "Smith’s keening voice helped define the Tears for Fears sound on such tracks as “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. But Orzabal emerged almost immediately as the more prolific songwriter and stepped more to the foreground as a guitarist and vocalist with each of the first three albums. Orzabal and Smith split after the Seeds of Love tour and Orzabal carried on under the brand name with Elemental, which promised to be the start of a new phase and achieved some success. However the follow-up, Raoul and the Kings of Spain, never connected with radio listeners the way that records like “Shout” and “Everybody” had."   (www.popmatters.com/review/tearsforfears-shout/)

"But for the most part, Echo & the Bunnymen plays things all too safely. "The Game" opens the album on an unsettlingly upbeat note, with McCulloch spouting vacuous platitudes like a high-school chaplain giving a benediction, and things tumble downhill from there. "Blue Blue Ocean" is a semipsychedelic hodgepodge, "Lips Like Sugar" is unrepentantly saccharine, and "Bedbugs and Ballyhoo" is a Disneyized version of the Doors. ("That's the way the bee bumbles," indeed!)The worst thing is that it needn't have been that way. Had the band been given a boot instead of a gauzy gloss, this album might have mustered enough strength to make these songs matter. As things stand, however, Echo & the Bunnymen is as vacant as it is pretty."   (www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/echo-the-bunnymen-19871022)

"But, by and large, the new age retro-futurism that characterised Jarre’s earlier work is replaced by a focus on accessible modern pop."   (www.theguardian.com/music/2015/oct/15/jean-michel-jarre-electronica-1-the-time-machine-review)

"Jean-Michel Jarre reminds us of how relevant he still is in the electronic genre, Electronica 1: The Time Machine easily has you hooked right through, especially if you are a fan of Jarre’s work and really appreciate what he’s done for the genre. There was not one sound out of place and each track was delivered with passion and purpose, not one song sounded like it didn’t belong and that is a feat.”   (http://renownedforsound.com/index.php/album-review-jean-michel-jarre-electronica-1-the-time-machine/)

Das ist meist sehr lustig und unterhaltsam – aber nie um den Preis einer fraternisierenden Haltung, die alle Widersprüche weglacht."   (www.rollingstone.de/reviews/deichkind-befehl-von-ganz-unten/)

"Jon Bon Jovi and his band serve up condescending sentiment, reducing every emotional statement to a barefaced cliché – either because they think that's all their audience can comprehend or because that's all they can comprehend. On Slippery When Wet, Bon Jovi sounds like bad fourth-generation metal, a smudgy Xerox of Quiet Riot."   (www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/slippery-when-wet-19901107)

Both of these achievements could be placed on the lap of the group’s founder, lead vocalist, and all-powerful decision maker David Coverdale. The band was formed in 1978 and named after Coverdale’s first solo album after his short, mid-seventies gig as Deep Purple’s front man. Whitesnake had increasing success with its three previous albums released in 1980, 1982, and 1984 respectively before Coverdale decided to go “all in” with the next release."   (www.classicrockreview.com/2012/09/1987-whitesnake/)

Einfach mal einen schwärmerischen Song über die Beat-Zeit schreiben? Kann man bringen!

"Ultimately, White sounds more mature – ironic, considering that many of the lyrics came from childhood poems. Lazaretto retains his essence but also uncovers a warmth earlier angrier works sacrificed. Sure, there’s a mildly preposterous, posturing axe-warrior in there, but it’s tempered, often joyously, with a self-mocking feminine side here, and makes for some of his most carefree but considered music in a very long time."   (http://recordcollectormag.com/reviews/lazaretto)

"Half a century ago, The Monkees began their career as a made-for-TV boy band in the States to rival The Beatles. Their scripted narrative soon became a reality, and in 1967 they outsold both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined. The manufactured foursome paved the way for every boy band that followed, from New Kids on the Block to One Direction, who reinterpreted the Monkees’ wholesome high jinks for the iPhone generation."   (www.telegraph.co.uk/music/what-to-listen-to/monkees-london-palladium-review/)

"Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five fomented the musical revolution known as hip-hop. Theirs was a pioneering union between one DJ and five rapping MCs. Grandmaster Flash (born Joseph Saddler) not only devised various techniques but also designed turntable and mixing equipment. Formed in the South Bronx, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were one of the first rap posses, responsible for such masterpieces as “The Message,” “Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel” and “White Lines.” The combination of Grandmaster Flash’s turntable mastery and the Furious Five’s raps, which ranged from socially conscious to frivolously fun, made for a series of 12-inch records that forever altered the musical landscape.  (...)  As Rolling Stone observed, “’The Message’ was [the first record] to prove that rap could become the inner city’s voice, as well as its choice.” This slice of unvarnished social realism sold half a million copies in a month, topped numerous critics’ and magazines’ lists of best singles for 1982, and cemented Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s place in hip-hop’s vanguard."   (https://rockhall.com/inductees/grandmaster-flash-and-the-furious-five/bio/)
