Robert Wyatt: Free Will and Testament
"My own words mostly struggled onto paper from endless weeks of fevered insomnia" (R.W.) "Er versucht gar nicht erst, Körper und Stimme zusammenzufügen und zusammenzudenken, sondern beläßt sie im Zustand ihrer wechselseitigen Unversöhntheit." (Thomas Miessgang) "voll nervig diese lieder-kacke hier." (tja/7 Antworten auf “die 25 besten lieder aller zeiten teil 20") "Die traurigste Stimme in der Welt" (Ryuichi Sakamoto)
"Let me off please, I am so tired
Let me off please, I am so very tired."
Johnny Cash (with Bob Dylan): Girl from the North Country
"Unsere Missverständnisse sind uns näher als unsere Erkenntnisse" (Konrad Heidkamp) "I don't know you well enough to miss you when you were gone" (J.C. to Rodney Crowell) "The songs of lost or failed love: Girl From the North Country (for me the strongest song on the album)" (onethink/rateyourmusic.com) 
"I’m a-wonderin’ if she remembers me at all
Many times I’ve often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day"
Sonny & Cher: Have I stayed too long
"for a guy who publicly played the fool, Sonny's orchestral jangle sounds surprisingly influential at several decades' remove." (www.cduniverse.com) "Have I stayed too long is an under-rated S & C single and is beautiful!" (customer/denon-avr) "Bono saw the dramatic events unfold before him through the prism of his own dimmed star. He had had it all with Cher and lost it" (Sidney Blumenthal)
"Have I done something wrong
I look around and I can't find nothing"
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra: It's a long way to the Top
"Susanna’s presence which is so calm and gentle contrasts with her voice perfectly, which is like a beast that’s finally set free." (Scott Pollack) "words cannot describe how much better this is than the original, they can can only do harm" (aproragadozo/last.fm - "Enjoy the Silence") "Ihre Musik ist äußerst introvertiert, spartanisch und melancholisch" (JazzEcho)
"Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why"
Gila: Kontakt
"The Best Krautrock music ever...I adore Gila." "Unnachgiebiges aggressiv bekämpfen, ist kampf gegen sich selbst' is a phrase owners of the first Gila album will remember well!" (anonym/the whiterider/LiVEJOURNAL) "Wenn man aber für sein Ziel eintritt, dann kämpft man doch für sich und nicht gegen sich, auch wenn es ein bissel härter zugeht dabei" (larsenbacher/www.myspace.com) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZsgzk4iY9o
The Langley Schools Music Project: Mandy
"The songs reflects the hopes, fears and fantasies common to us all: love and longing, exultation and dismay." (Irvin Chusid) "This is beauty. This is truth.This is music that touches the heart in a way no other music ever has, or ever could" (John Zorn) "These children hated "cute". They cherished songs that evoked loneliness and sadness" (Hans Fenger/Music Director)
"The tears are in my mind
And nothin's is rhyming"
The Vines: Mary Jane
"..dass The Vines in Zukunft schwer damit beschäftigt sein dürften, eine ihrer Songzeilen zu widerlegen: She never loved me, why should anyone." (Gerrit Bartels) "...suggestions that Nicholls is suffering from mental exhaustion or rumours" "It doesn't hurt me if anyone says I'm not normal," he told Rolling Stone. "I don't know what normal is." (Sidney Morning Herald/2004)
"Life's a wait
Why why should I lose
When I've got to go"
Neil Young: Razor Love
"...taucht mit Silver & Gold die Essenz der Musik von Neil Young auf: Sie erzählt, dass die Welt, die man sucht, nicht mehr existiert, dass Erwartung in der Sekunde stirbt, da man ankommt, dass der Ton in dem Moment vergeht, da er entsteht." ...Songs, die in ihrer dahintreibenden Schwermut und Trauer schon einen kräftigen Schuss Good To See You brauchen, um nicht im Depressions-Blues zu münden." (Konrad Heidkamp) "Zum Einstieg kommt ein rein instrumentaler Teil, es geht sehr ruhig weiter." (Boaenas/www.dooyoo.de)
"Looking through the window at a silhouette
Tryin to find something I can't find yet
Imagination is my best friend Imagination"
Jack Green: Sign of the Times
"This incredible human being has made some of Rock & Roll's finest contributions" "Listen to Jack Green's 'Sad Eye' on this album (Silk Torpedo). This amazing track has Jack singing the whole song with just his double tracked acoustic guitar." (thejackgreenappreciationsociety.blogspot.com) "She uses words just like a diplomat/And I suspect that she's a little afraid/Or something like that" (J.G. "It's a hard world")
"And the more you give
The more they take away"
Joe Henry: The Diving Bell
"eine dieser suizidgefährdeten Trost-Balladen" (Christoph Dieckmann) "It may not seem like much written down here,but when it's sung in Henry's world weary voice it transports you to a place full of melancholy and regret." (Johnnybluetime/www.amazon.co.uk) "Or from "Diving Bell," a pair of lines that mean something different to me each time I hear them: I guess I thought that all I gave to you / was somehow mine to keep." (Richard Lehnert/www.stereophile.com)
"Are your hands that cold now
or is it mine?"
Arto Lindsay: Unseen
"Mit brüchiger Stimme, fast flüsternd, intoniert er zarte und zerbrechliche Samba-Balladen" "Arto spielt seine Gitarre mal melodisch herzerwärmend, mal zersplittert und kaputt. Die Stücke haben die unerhörteste Bandbreite: Sie gefallen teils meiner Oma, dass diese ihr Taschentuch auspackt, dann wieder hält sie sich die Finger in die Ohren und beginnt zu schreien." (www.musikzimmer.ch) "gelingt dem Musiker die schwierige Balance zwischen Schwermut und verspielter Leichtigkeit." (Roman Rhode)
"Underneath the leaves
My voice runs out of grieve
Why did you take your eyes away from me?"
Bob Dylan: Girl from the North Country
