Un prophète (A Prophet)

Un prophète (A Prophet)

This was one of the first French film I have ever watched and i’m glad that i did.

The film is a hard hitting which keeps you gripped and awaiting the clever plot, this movie is very realistic and the way the plot unfolds is absolutely brilliant.

The film is about an Arab who enters jail after a life of trouble. He soon becomes gripped into the underworld of gang violence, he then joins a white gang whilst carrying out jobs for them. While he cleverly starts to build his own empire.

A 19-year-old man of North African origin is sentenced to six years in prison for assaulting a police officer. When he enters prison, he is naïve, shy, and almost withdrawn and cannot read or write. When he leaves six years later, he has become a self possessed, educated individual, capable of controlling his own destiny as well as that of others. Jacques Audiard’s (Read My Lips, The Beat That My Heart Skipped) A Prophet, winner of the Grand Prix Award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, is an engrossing coming-of-age drama set in a French prison in which Malik el Djebena (Tahar Rahim), a Muslim estranged from his own community, is recruited into the ruling Corsican Mafia and eventually becomes a gang leader himself. Though deeply involved in nefarious and often bloody activities, the genuineness of his personality makes him an appealing and sympathetic character and adds depth to a riveting experience.

An epic as the Godfather, a must see. – London Times

Made in 17 days and at a cost of less than $150K, Once is a musical which reflects a Dublin of 10-15 years ago when it was much poorer and more working class.

A simple story of a street musician in Ireland, singing covers during the day for Euros, and his own music at night for cents. A verging on middle aged man, still living with his Da, repairing vacuums in a tiny shop and writing songs to his lost love in his tinier bedroom. Approached by girl, an immigrant, who loves his songs, understands the pain that gave them life, and soon they are in a music shop with the girl playing the piano and together they prove that art isn’t produced from big budgets.

It is bittersweet and romantic, with great music (not Irish music, but the singer/songwriter type) as the two main characters collaborate on their songs and help each other become stronger and face the romantic challenges they both are suffering from. The end of the film is wonderful and Hollywood-cliché-free!

Winner of the Oscar in 2008 for “Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song“, another 13 wins & 19 nominations, time just flies by like a butterfly watching this awesome musical.

I myself have watched it more than 5 times and keep listening to its songs without a sign of boredom. You’ll fall in love with the soothing music and the simplicity of the story. And I bet you are gonna watch it more than just… Once…

BHEJA FRY

Bheja Fry

Gen X film-makers are brimming with ideas. Stories that were considered abstract, experimental and out of the box are finding an audience and most importantly, an outlet. Bheja Fry is one such film.

Buzz up!

Ideally, the plotline of Bheja Fry is best suited for a stage play, but director Sagar Ballary makes an attempt to garnish it with interesting twists.

Ranjeet Thadani [Rajat Kapoor], a music company executive, hurts his back the night he has found a prize catch for a weekly bring-your-idiot talent dinner hosted by his friends and him. He ends up spending the evening with this idiot, Bharat Bhushan [Vinay Pathak], who tries to help him get his wife [Sarika] back, who left him earlier that day. The result is utter chaos let loose by the idiot, who cannot do a single thing without messing it up further.

n a nutshell, Bheja Fry is a time pass fare that doesn’t tax your bheja. It has its limitations since it caters to a select audience, but the film dares to push the envelope further.

Definitely recommended!!

Vitalogy – Pearl Jam

Vitalogy – Pearl Jam

For those of you who don’t know “Pearl Jam”, please get a life!!

This was the third album from Seattle based band and it rocked!! It had amazing tracks on it which will live forever, in tracks like ‘Spin the Black Circle’…..‘Not For You’…. ‘Nothing Man’…..‘Corduroy’…..‘Better Man’ and “Immortality’ you can truly feel the same power and emotion as their debut release “Ten” (which by the way sold over 10 million copies just in U.S.)

This album is packed with great songs and hooks, overall a stunning effort.

This album seems to grow on you each time you listen to it, showing that it has tremendous longevity.

I remember “Vitalogy” being there in my car stereo for months.

This album is a must!!

Come Away With Me – Norah Jones

Come Away With Me – Norah Jones (2002)

Norah Jones is another new breed of musicians today.

Norah Jones is a brilliant singer-songwriter and pianist.

She made a debut album ‘Come Away with Me’, an adult contemporary vocal jazz album with a soul/folk/country tinge, that received five Grammy’s.

What gives her the edge is that, she created a complete, original style that straddles multiple musical genres with layering of a soft, intimate yet very raw soothing voice.

The album is full of great tracks. Tracks like “Don’t Know Why”, “Cold, Cold Heart”, “Feelin’ the Same Way”, “Come Away with Me”, “Turn Me On” and “The Nearness of You” will definitely send chills down your spine.

Another album, rather another artist to grow old with.

Definitely a must buy.

John Lee Hooker – The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965 – 1974

Let me just get to the point on this one.

Im a hard core ‘blues’ guy n i make my guitar squeal like its supposed to. For Blues you have to be born with a ’soul’.Its all about the ’soul’ and this place is too short to express how i feel about it.

I just want to introduce today’s lost generation to the great and amazing genre of blues and would be an honor to start it with John Lee Hooker.

Them Crooked Vultures

Them Crooked Vultures

Ladies and gentlemen, Them Crooked Vultures — the second-best band John Paul Jones has ever been in! The Led Zeppelin guys never made much of a splash in the supergroup scene, unless you’re the kind of die-hard fan who still busts out those old records by the Honeydrippers or the Firm. But when John Paul Jones got the hard-rock supersession itch, he didn’t mess around. For Them Crooked Vultures, he hooks up with Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), two of Zep’s smartest disciples.

Them Crooked Vultures perfectly fit the classical supergroup model. There’s the jokey name and song titles: Interlude With ‘Ludes, Caligulove, Mind Eraser, No Chaser. There’s the occasional sense, as on the camp pomp-rock lumber of Warsaw, that you’re being exposed to a rehearsal room in-gag, with the feeling that the point of the band’s existence might have more to do with what the participants get out of it than the audience.

Not bad, give it a listen !!

Chickenfoot

Chickenfoot

What do you get when you blend half a Van Halen with one Red Hot Chili Pepper then spice it up with some Satriani? The result is “Chickenfoot”, a new ‘supergroup ‘.

Chickenfoot is constructed from pieces that don’t look like they should fit together but they all fit like a glove. Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony spent time together in the Mach II lineup of Van Halen, Chad Smith is the drummer of the funk/pop/rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Joe Satriani is a guitar wizard known for his technical proficiency.

(For ppl who are new to this please listen to Van Halen, Red Hot Chili Peppers and of course Joe Satriani. I promise to cover each of them shortly).

This album has a great line up of tracks, it has everything (funk, groove, energy, rock, etc….)

Recommended tracks “Soap on a Rope,” “Oh Yeah,” “Get it Up” and “Sexy Little Thing,” and “My Kind Of Girl” along with “Avenida Revolution” which has a very unique sound.

Honestly this is one of the few good acts that have come up in the ‘commercial’ music industry today.

Definitely a must listen!!!

Effloresce – Oceansize

Effloresce – Oceansize

For a while, I found Effloresce a cool album but impossible to listen to for a long period of time. The complex time signatures and longer song lengths boggled my mind; I found the album passing me by.

I had no recollection of what happened. Over the past 9 months or so, I am not sure whether I underwent a musical evolution or simply matured in my taste, but I finally understand Effloresce. Maybe I just noticed the qualities of different tracks because my iPod mixed up the order of the songs and I heard some of the later songs first. Over time, Oceansize’s Effloresce has become one of my favorite albums of the time. Not a classic, but absolutely fantastic and original.

Oceansize presents a world of music drawing from post-rock, progressive, grunge, and even electronica. With open minds and virtuoso talent, their possibilities are unlimited.

Give it a shot!!

Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King – Dave Matthews Band

Honestly, you cant stop listening and loving this album. Each time you listen to it you are just gonna get deeper and deeper into it.

This is the band’s first studio album since 2005’s Stand Up and the first release since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore(R.I.P.).
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 424,000 copies in its first week.
On “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,” the major difference is felt as much as heard in a deeper, beefier bottom end, “drum beats louder” — into a mantra, and a hook will make sure you’re grooving, tapping your foot n loosing your mind. Beauford and Lessard swing the heaviest lumber of their careers. Electric, rather than acoustic, guitars also add weight. When Matthews’ falsetto vocal threatens to float away on “Seven,” he’s brought back to earth by the band’s newfound toughness.

The album is not without its flaws: Matthews can still be a frustratingly simple-minded lyricist when it comes to lust (“Shake Me Like a Monkey”) or a frustratingly mush-minded one when it comes to the state of the world (“Funny the Way It Is”).Having Mark Batson has had some benefits: the songs are punchier, and Cavallo has given the band a bigger, more immediate sound.

Though the ensemble still flirts with exotic musical strains, they’re used judiciously. The Eastern accents on “Squirm” and the bluegrass banjo on “Alligator Pie” amp up the energy, rather than defuse it.

Believe me ladies n gentlemen when i say this, this band will leave an impression in your mind for a long long time and DMB is the worlds second costliest band (First is ‘Rolling Stones’)

This album will stay in my car stereo for a long long time.

Definitely buy, steal ,beg or borrow this one!!!

Before These Crowded Streets

Crush is the song which introduce me to DMB and Before These Crowded Streets is the first album which I heard of DMB.

They mix all kind of blues ,jazz,rock n pop and blend it to there own genre.

It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts after selling 421,000 units in its first week of release, which in turn knocked off the Titanic soundtrack from the top spot after a run of 16 consecutive weeks at #1.

Don’t Drink The Water is my second favorite from this album.The song is so well written and blended.

If you like to dive into the music of DMB start from this album.

Enjoy!

Black Gives Way To Blue – Alice In Chains

Alice In Chains

alice in chains - Black gives way to the blues

Black Gives Way To Blue – Alice In Chains

This is a fantastic ‘come back’ album.

Alice in Chains was responsible for some of the most eclectic heavy rock of the ‘90s, fusing together unlikely metal and vocal elements into a small but influential catalog that has aged better than the work of most of its grunge contemporaries.
Listening to Black Gives Way to Blue really is a rollercoaster-like experience both musically and emotionally, meaning that, even within songs, you really never know where the band will take you next or how that sudden drop, turn, or twist will affect you.

It was an emotional and cathartic experience for the band to record “Black Gives Way to Blue” because their dear friend, Layne Staley, couldn’t be part of that experience (R.I.P.).

Watch the official video of their single “Your Decision”.

The album’s opening track, the rumbling “All Secrets Known,” starts with the lines “A new beginning/Time to start living” before advising, “There’s no going back.” The rest of Black Gives Way to Blue follows that advice – this is a dark record about trying to pull yourself out of the chaos and pain of the past. Granted, Alice in Chains were never a sunny, friendly band even in the ‘90s, but the clenched-fist angst of Black Gives Way to Blue is considerably bleak. And yet, the album’s surging, determined songs feel downright inspiring, especially on tracks like “Check My Brain” and “A Looking in View” in which Cantrell and DuVall’s guitars fight and claw to escape the lyrics’ jet-black despair. Black Gives Way to Blue ends up being the group’s darkest and brightest album simultaneously.

Believe me guys it is really difficult to get the desire to go on making music when a friend (fellow musician) passes away. I have seen many famous bands crumble down due to this, the only reason Alice In Chains are still on the map is purely because of their awesome music and die hard fans.

Give it a shot!!….not for faint hearted!!

Pearl Jam – Backspacer

pearl jam-backspacer

Pearl Jam – Backspacer (2009)

This is Pearl Jam’s best album of the 2000s. Continuing where Pearl Jam left off, the band matches the energy of their last outing with better, tighter songs. The lyrics (notably, all are credited to Vedder) are exceptional. No longer bound by anti-Bush righteous rage, Vedder seems to feel freed to sing songs with more empathy and positive energy. There are still plenty of songs about troubled souls and surfing, but the overall tone is warmer and filled more with empathy than anger.

The band’s playing is excellent as always, and Brendan O’Brien’s return to the fold is welcome – this album, even more than the Ten Redux cd, is proof positive that O’Brien is THE man to produce Pearl Jam’s albums. He adds a few touches of keyboards and strings here and there to augment the standard guitar/bass/drums rock format, and the result is a sound perfectly suited to Pearl Jam’s strongest batch of songs in years.

Pearl Jam fans who have been waiting for a new great album but weren’t quite convinced by their previous cd should give this one a shot, and fans who have stuck with the band all these years will not be disappointed. This is Pearl Jam for 2009 and beyond.

The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965 - 1974

John Lee Hooker – The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965 – 1974

Let me just get to the point on this one.

Im a hard core ‘blues’ guy n i make my guitar squeal like its supposed to. For Blues you have to be born with a ’soul’.Its all about the ’soul’ and this place is too short to express how i feel about it.

I just want to introduce today’s lost generation to the great and amazing genre of blues and would be an honor to start it with John Lee Hooker.

John Lee Hooker was born in Coahoma County near Clarksdale, Mississippi. For all those who are educated enough will know what ‘Mississippi’ means (i mean musically).

This is really a great best of collection i have come across, most of John’s better-known songs can be found on this disk. Throughout it all, Hooker’s music remained unchanged. His rich and sonorous voice, full of ancient hurt, and his brooding and savage style remained hypnotic but unpredictable. To the strains of his own guitar, he sang of loneliness and confusion. Neither polished nor urbane, his music was raw, primal emotion. His one-chord boogie compositions and rhythmic guitar work were a distinctive sound that influenced rock ‘n’ rollers as well as rhythm and blues musicians.

A Must have!!

Them Crooked Vultures

Them Crooked Vultures

Ladies and gentlemen, Them Crooked Vultures — the second-best band John Paul Jones has ever been in! The Led Zeppelin guys never made much of a splash in the supergroup scene, unless you’re the kind of die-hard fan who still busts out those old records by the Honeydrippers or the Firm. But when John Paul Jones got the hard-rock supersession itch, he didn’t mess around.

All That I Am – Santana

All That I Am – Santana

This is a top shelf collaboration album.

Carlos Santana is a genius and has grown with times to be an open minded musician , creating and fusing music with the new and the older generations.

Michelle Branch is back, this time with the first single from the album, “I’m Feeling You.” The songs on her own albums should sound this good.

Something about performing with one of the all time greatest rock guitarists just brings out the best in some people. Mary J. Blige (with Outkast’s Big Boi) shows more range on “My Man” than we knew she had.

Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler has never sounded any better than he does on “Just Feel Better.”

A couple of the tracks seem glaringly out of place. Joss Stone and Sean Paul sound forced on “Cry Baby Cry,” and it seems plausible that the only reason Santana’s Arista label-mate, the not-quite-American Idol, Bo Bice appears (“Brown Skin Girl”) is to promote his own album that comes out in December.

Those who long for the days of “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va,” or who don’t particularly care for today’s brand of pop music, will not be particularly happy with this album. Those who appreciate how a masterful musician has successfully reinvented himself and continues to thrive after 35+ years will enjoy adding it to their collections.

The Incident – Porcupine Tree

The Incident – Porcupine Tree

On the first few initial listens, Porcupine Tree’s The Incident has both the look and feel of being the British progressive rock band’s masterpiece.

Everything about this album — from its elegantly photographed cover art, to the fifty-five minute title track that takes up all of disc one — screams prog-rock epic. In these rather lofty aspirations, The Incident mostly succeeds. But there are a few bumps along the road to getting there.

The distribution of the songs for one thing, is, well a little weird. Clearly the epic track “The Incident,” is intended to be the focal point. But in doing so, the four tracks on the second disc, which together comprise all of twenty minutes plus change, make them feel almost like afterthoughts.

What has always separated Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree from many of their prog and metal peers, is the way PT focus on the songcraft first.

“The Incident” largely lives up to its advance billing as the rightful centerpiece of this album. It’s just a great sounding piece of work.

The bottom line? Not a good place to start. In Absentia is a suitable launch point for new listeners. If you’re already into the band, chances are you’re going to buy The Incident regardless of what the reviews say, so dig it as you will.

One Kind Favor – BB King

One Kind Favor – BB King

This isn’t just B.B. King’s best album in years, it’s one of the strongest studio sets of his career, standing alongside classics such as Singin’ the Blues and Lucille. Where those early titles highlighted his youthful, wailing vocals and stinging guitar, this one plays to King’s current strengths: the tear-stained vibrato of his mature voice, punctuated by raunchy licks.

This album is collaborations of the Kings closest friends, They include commendable versions of his signature “The Thrill Is Gone,” with Eric Clapton trading vocal lines and licks, and Howard Tate’s “Ain’t Nobody Home,” with Daryl Hall answering King’s gritty growl. There are obscurities, too, like “Tired of Your Jive,” with a jocular Billy Gibbons, and “Hummingbird,” transformed into a melodic gem with the assistance of John Mayer

All in all, the album is more punchier, stronger, stripped down blues and the ‘King’ sounds more younger.

It doesn’t get better and bigger than this.

Bryan Adams – 11

Bryan Adams 11

He was one of the first musician who’s music actually spoke to me, I was in second grade at that time and i have never been able to let go of him ever since.

Bryan Adams…..ladies and gentlemen is one of the top cream in the music industry.

This is a great album and i hope people will look beyond “Summer of 69″.

One thing about Bryan Adams is that he is simple, down to earth and this guarantees what you see is what you get.

The songs have great lyrics, tracks like “Walk on by”, “Mysterious ways”, “She got away”, “Oxygen” etc will definitely get under your skin as Bryan sings them with such honest and pure emotion and the music is simply perfect with an acoustic, soft electric country singer-songwriter setup.

With this album Bryan Adams toured in ‘11′ venues(across the globe) in ‘11′ days, playing ‘11′ songs, This band is getting better ‘n’ better with age.Can’t wait to hear their next album.

Definitely buy this album guys !!

All Rebel Rockers – Michael Franti & Spearhead

All Rebel Rockers – Michael Franti & Spearhead

A new Michael Franti album is always reason for celebration. This man takes enough time between releases to both collect some quality songs and to get our appetite just right. All Rebel Rockers is, of course, no exception to the rule. It’s really only been two years since the awesome Yell Fire! but regardless, this album is out to beat all expectations. Recording thhe album in Kingston with legendary dub producers Sly & Robbie good things could only possibly have resulted.

The album kicks it out with a lovely dub track track called “Rude Boys Back In Town”, and it sounds fresher than anything Spearhead has ever crafted. “A Little Bit of Riddim” takes you back to some of Franti’s signature hip hop reggae blend. “Life In The City” almost feels like a Rancid track, not quite as raw though but one of the best tracks of the 13. “Hey World (Remote Control Version)” is the first real political track to surface.

It’s got a definitive beat to it that is very danceable. It shows the Robbie connection is paramount. Even on the mellower soul style songs like “High Low” you can feel the influence that bass plays. It features the wonderful vocal talents of Marie Daulne from Zap Mama. But yet another highlight is to be had with the truthful “Nobody Right Nobody Wrong”. Or the song he wrote for his son when he was heading off to college, “Have A Little Faith”.

This album will pep you up!!

Definitely a must listen!!
