Khalil Chahine: Adieu, donc
"Teils so schwermütig und melankolisch, daß einem die Tränen in den Augen stehen, aber voller Schönheit. Rührend und bewegend, swingend und schwebend, (SOMMIX/amazon.de) "irgendwie jenseits von Gut und Schlecht" (Ulrich Paasch) "bekannt für seine Arbeit an Science of Sleep - Anleitung zum Träumen (2006)," (IMDb)

Bill Withers: Ain't no Sunshine
«Wir sind am Boden zerstört von dem Verlust unseres geliebten, hingebungsvollen Ehemanns und Vaters» (B.W. Familie/AP) "nobody really liked me" (B.W.) "I learned a long time ago when I was growing up and the girls that I wanted to like me never did." (B.W./faroutmagazine.co.uk)
"And this house just ain′t no home"

Bill Frisell: Billy in Prison
"Breaking into wrenching distortion and stormy group improv only after breathing the original full of a softly glowing life." (The S.F. Bay Guardian/billfrisell.com) "so wie man das nie mochte und sich dem doch nicht entziehen kann" ("Die Zeit") "stimmig bringt er Songs von Bob Dylan, Madonna, Muddy Waters und Aaron Copland auf einer einzigen kleinen CD unter" (jazzpages.de)

Greta Keller: Blue Moon
"jene unwirkliche Zeit zwischen Tag und Nacht" (liederabende.christakrings.de) "Greta Kellers Fassung lässt die von Elvis fast vergessen machen." (Werner Pieper/booklet) "The song’s melody is so flexible that, over the years, many artists reinterpreted it in different ways and styles." (auralcrave.com)
"Once upon a time
Before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight!"

Ten Years After: Circles
"a deep love for Southern American Blues flows through the bloodstream" (Gilde Magazine) "This is often regarded as their best album, and indeed it was their best-hitting album in the UK. But me no. Oh no me. These songs are all good, ass-kicking and quite mightee, but they just don’t hook me" (starlingdb.org) "you can practically smell the sweet ‘summer of love’ incense in the air" (Jam McIntosh/"Guitars Exchange")
"Does it matter what I do
Who will hear me if I cry?"

Massive Attack: Exchange
"bewegen sich in noch dunklere Bereiche, in denen sich die einzelnen Elemente immer weniger unterscheiden lassen" (limited-vinyl.com) "They nearly tore themselves apart" (Pitchfork) "Maybe trip-hop is just too good for this life." (KIDWITHGUNs/albumoftheyear.org)
"You see a man's face
You will never see his heart"

U2: If you wear that velvet Dress
"... tolle Hintergrundmusik für ein Schlafwagenabteil ..." (klamar/hitparade.ch) "Feierstimmung und Beklemmung" (Thomas Weiland) " they never sound like they don't believe in what they're doing," (Stephen Thomas Erlewine/allmusic.com)
"The struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway"

Bright Eyes: Land locked Blues
"Ausdruck der inneren Zerrissenheit des lyrischen Ichs" (duerrholz/Frankfurter Allgemeine) "Weckruf für die Zweifelnden und Einsamen" (Frank Sawatzki) "It’s the contrast between war and pained love that truly evokes a narrator isolated in all aspects of existence" (Caitlin Wolper/paste)
„I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
Baby, don’t go away, come here“

Erika Stucky: Mermaid
"You're not alone When you're swimming in the dark" (Be The Bear/sonichits.com) "sadly beautiful." (@jafuso61/YouTube) "Die Geschichten müssen mir etwas bedeuten" (E.S,)
"I'm swimming in the River
dreaming of the Sea"

Bobo Stenson Trio: Song for Ruth (Variation)
"'Song Of Ruth' des tschechischen Komponisten und Organisten Petr Eben, der nur wenige Wochen vor diesen Aufnahmesessions verstarb." (booklet) "seine Noten "hingen in der Luft wie das, was Woodsworth 'Gedanken zu tief für Tränen' nannte"" (Peter Rüedi) "it follows wherever gravity may lead." (ECM)

David Bowie: Where are we now?
"And if the recurring refrain “Just walking the dead” suggested that Bowie wasn’t only dealing with ghosts of his past, but also challenging recent rumours surrounding his health," (Jason Draper/thisisdig.com) "die Altersmelodie hält sich in Grenzen" (Thomas Gross) "even when a melody sighs with an air of resigned melancholia, as it does on "Where Are We Now?," it never delves into sadness," (Stephen Thomays Erlewine/allmusic.com)
"A man lost in time
Near KaDeWe
Just walking the dead"
