Nice 'N' Easy Celebrating Sinatra [SACD/CD]

Den femtande mai 1998 var ein trist dag. Stemma over alle stemmer, The Voice himself, Frank Sinatra var død. Karrièra hans tok kanskje ikkje dei heilt store krumspringa på slutten (det gjorde den vel aldri...), men det er få som har swinga like mykje saman med gode storband som han.

s strykarar. Her spelar dei mange av Sinatra sine store nummer pluss eit par ekstra. Alle er instrumentalversjonar (med eit slags unntak for spor nummer 14 og 17). Men i staden for å sitje og sakne den store stemma, gler eg meg over å høyre eit så godt samspelt orkester. Dei swingar akkurat som eit godt gamaldags storband, vel å merkje utan at einskilde solistar stikk seg markant ut. Denne oppskrifta kunne kanskje lett gi eit lite spanande resultat, men det er ikkje tilfelle her. Bandet er for samspelt og "tight" og det swingar for bra til det. Dette er rett og slett berre behageleg å høyre på. Innspelinga er rein og usedvanleg balansert for denne type musikk. 

Dette er altså ikkje ei frykteleg spanande eller nyskapande plate med store overraskingar, men ei knallbra swingande storbandplate eg kjem til å spele ofte.

    that, when i did first get my compact disc copy of `The Dark Side Of The Moon`, it was only on that occasion that i realised that the snap, crackle, pop on my previous vinyl version, was not actually part of the recording. I jest of course, because i guess i will be intrigued to hear the different mixes in the overdue but very welcome and exciting enhanced album packages.I would also like to support what Jon Kirsch said regarding bootlegs and fans desire to extend their fascination with the band by indulging in the unofficial availability of recordings  be it outtakes or live shows. Thus i would like to back Marc Ross`s suggestion of a `Bootlegging The Bootleggers` compilation of clips from the `In The Flesh Animals` tour, to create a visual record of those shows, and along with a hopeful live album recording of a complete show. The `Animals` tour certainly comes through from the comments posted, as the most anxious for fans to be rewarded with live material. Anyway  enough of my prattling  im assuming that these three scheduled releases -` The Dark Side Of The Moon`, `Wish You Were Here`, and `The Wall`  are the first chosen (before the whole of the back catalogue is re-packaged and enhanced in similar ways), because of the popularity and enormous success these albums have had, and thus my own comments id like you to relay to Andy and Paul are as follows;- Possible additions to early-Floyd packages could include `The Man Suite`, `Moonhead`, and live BBC sessions including recordings of `Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun`, `Careful With That Axe, Eugene`, and `A Saucerful Of Secrets.`- Possible additions to pre-`Dark Side`releases could include the two unreleased versions of `Love Scene` from the `Zabrieskie Point` sessions, and again BBC live sessions featuring `Atom Heart Mother`, `One Of These Days`, and `Echoes`.- Post `The Wall` album releases could include `The Division Bell` jam outtakes, and an album of ambient music recorded during the `Division Bell` sessions that was almost released called `The Big Spliff`. Now alot of comments and requests from fans could be interpreted as being just a little self-indulgent, and that er, includes me  but after waiting and hoping and wondering what goodies have been hidden away in the EMI vault for so many years, and seeing other artists release Box-Sets with unreleased tracks, well finally it looks like these proposed packages can satisfy current fans, and provide a legacy for the further enhancement and promotion of The Pink Floyds music, for generations of new fans to discover and enjoy. Here here to that! My apologies for my contribution in being just a little overlong  but i hope it has made for an interesting read. Regards, Michael
