Loud 'Jackal' has musical bite
By Ashlee Roll Kansan music aal
Various Artists — "The Jackal"—MCA
Whoo-hoo, another soundtrack. I'll bet, given Bruce Willis' track record lately, that the soundtrack will fare better than the movie. Why shouldn't
it? With artists like Prodigy, Bush and Ani DiFranco, this CD could fare well in a soundtrack-saturated market. "The
Jackal" is a spy movie, so naturally the majority of the music is techo. Techno lends such an "international man of mystery" touch to the album. We start off this tour de force with a techno version of The Who's "I Can't Explain" by Fatboy Slim. Prodigy's track "Poison" is a little disappointing and lacks the vitality and fire of "Fat of the Land." Another ho-hum track is the Goldie/Toasted On Both Sides remix of Bush's "Swallowed," which also appears on "Deconstructed." Bush's new album of remixes. The most entertaining track is definitely "Get Higher" by Black Grape, which opens with a speech by Ronald Reagan. If you are a techon fan, check out this star-studded soundtrack. If not, wait until the
movie hits the dollar theater.
Harry Connick Jr., "To See You" - Columbia
The silky-smooth sounds of this Sinatra wanna be returned in his latest venture, "To See You." In the past, Connick has used his voice for lazily big-band
tunes. On "To See You," Connick has created a ro mantic album. Connick combined a jazz quartet and an orchestra
to create a completely romantic CD - which means boring. It's slow, it drags and did I mention it's boring? Connick has an incredible voice, but I like it a lot better when it's making me swing to the hep tunes like a cool kat.
Lisa Loeb — "Firecracker" — Geffen
Lisa Loeb shouldn't waste her talents making CD's. She should just go straight into the advertising jingle business. The whole time I was listening to this CD, I
kept having m en t a l images of an AT&T long distance commercial. After the dismal reception to her first
album "Do You Sleep," I can't understand why they let her
record another one. "Firecracker" is an album by a female folk singer with bad glasses. The track "Truthfully" is downright annoying, but the tune is the kind that stays in your head all day. I would mention more tracks, but they all sound the same. This is one long, depressing album. And I say, I don't wanna hear any more.
John Coltrane—"The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings!" Impulse!
Wow. This four-CD boxed set is the complete recording of four nights at the Village Vanguard by jazz legend John Coltrane. The set also boasts Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and is an extensive and impressive collection of these talents. The set reminds us
- each CD runs about one hour -
it is a great piece of jazz history.
that jazz is
like a fine
wine - it only
gets better
with age.
Although the
boxed set
looks a little
