BRIAN ENO-DAVID BYRNE-My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

ブライアン・イーノとデヴィッド・バーンの『My Life in the Bush of Ghosts』は完全な幻想だ。「作り込んだ」ヴォーカル、カット&ペーストのアレンジ、ファンクのリズムと世界のあらゆるものから受けた影響を包括し、この2人の物議をかもす作品は、現代のダンス・ミュージック、ワールド・ミュージック、ヒップホップ、オルタナティヴ・ロックの創造的な相互交換作用と技術的な革新を予言した。『My Life in the Bush of Ghosts』のこだまはビンテージのヴォーカル・サンプルで作ったモービーのアンセムにも、ミッシー・エリオットとティンバランドの抜群にエキゾチックなビートにも、シェーヴリー・コーポレーションの中東のアクセントが効いたチルアウトな曲にも、ビョークの超自然的な音景にも聞こえている。

Madonna - The Immaculate Collection

The naughtily titled Immaculate Collection culls 15 of Madonna's Top 10 singles from 1984 to mid-'90, plus 2 new ones that continued the run (the dirty, trunk-bumping funk of "Justify My Love"--a Lenny Kravitz production that justifies his entire career--and the danceable desperation of "Rescue Me"). Rooted in disco and classic AM pop from girl groups and ABBA to Strawberry Alarm Clock, Madonna made savvy, touching music throughout her first golden era. These tracks retain their sonic and historical significance while, like "She Loves You" or "Rocket Man," still brightening any space they're being played in. Far more than just a wise, irreverent image-maker--like the Beatles or Elton, come to think of it--Madonna during these years was the gift that kept on giving, forever fresh, sexy, hooky, and joyously sharp

GENESIS-INVISIBLE TOUCH

Invisible Touch was by far Genesis's most commercially successful album to date, going six times platinum, and signalled the consolidation of Phil Collins's hold over the band's now slickly-modernised, though still potent, sound. The singles were even more successful than the album itself, with all five of them reaching the top five in the US--the first time that any band had achieved this. Stand-out tracks include "Tonight Tonight Tonight", "Land of Confusion" and "Anything She Does", with their intricate jungle rhythms and overflowing energy. Throughout, in fact, Collins's drumming is very inventive and energetic. Low points include the ballads "In Too Deep" and "Throwing It All Away", both examples of Collins dominating centre stage without using the talents of the other band members effectively. "Domino", a Tony Banks number, is the nearest material to old-style Genesis in structure, but incongruously features the most modern synthesised instrumentation and metronomic rhythms on the album, as if embarrassed by associations with the past. "The Brazilian", though, hearkens back to an old Genesis tradition by closing the album with an instrumental.

T.REX - Tanx [Extra tracks] [Original recording remastered]

The phenomenally popular and influential T.Rex spearheaded the glam-rock movement, a genre owing everything to its quintessential superstar, Marc Bolan. Rivaled only by Bowie, whose own glam period followed in their flamboyant footsteps, Bolan and T.Rex created an incredible vibe and sound whose legacy lives. Driven by primal grooves, effortless hooks, trippy vocals, and deliciously fat guitar riffs, their music was both infused with hippie spirituality and raw sexuality-a rich, ripe, sonic delight both primitive and evolved. While their music defined an era, their irresistible grooves are timeless, and Bolan's later, more experimental tracks, marrying pop genius with creative expansion and proto-punk power, underscore his groundbreaking artistry.
