Jack or Jive: After the Pain
"depth, drama and atmosphere" (Nigel Harris) "Chako is a visual spectacle of wild or spikey hair, flowing priestess gowns, strange talismans and heavy, morbidly styled makeup" (getsongbpm.com) "Das Nachdenken über den Tod führt dazu, dass keine Zeit mit Nichtigkeiten verschwendet wird." (Michael We/nonpop.de)

Lighthouse Family: Ain't no Sunshine
"Let's travel through memory lane once more." (Glorishene Cainoy/YouTube) "Bill Withers was inspired to write the song after watching the 1962 movie Days of Wine and Roses." (smootradio.com) "They were both alcoholics who were alternately weak and strong. It's like going back for seconds on rat poison. Sometimes you miss things that weren't particularly good for you. It's just something that crossed my mind from watching that movie." (Bill Withers)
"And this house just ain′t no home"

R.E.M.: Blue
"...skurriler Rausschmeisser" (Werner/hitparade.ch) "geplante Abschiedsplatte" (Michael Stipe) "überflüssige Noise-Reprise als Zwilling von “E-Bow The Letter“ samt Patti Smith." (Max Gösche/RollingStone)
"Had enough to drink to make my own party"

Serge Gainsbourg: Cargo Culte
"so ambitious for such a weird laid back" (Scotty Russell Music/YouTube) "plane down into he sea. Gainsbourg drew on that near-death experience eight years on for the album's majestic finale" (Andy Beta/booklet) "smutty sentiments" (Spectrum Culture)
"Attendent des nuées"

Eels: Dead of Winter
"beautiful - in a very depressing way..." (bengt..bangt/last.fm) Everything is changing (booklet) His acoustic guitar always sounds thin and brittle (Michael Merline/spectrumculture.com)
"Well I was thinking how it must feel
To see that little lighter
And watch it as it disappears"

Ry Cooder: el u.f.o. cajo
"various aspects of the poor but vibrant hillside Chicano cummunity, which was bulldozed by developed in the interest of "progress." (swapacd.com) Don Tosti recorded the voice of the traveler b efore passing, in 2003 - his last session. Adios, baby." (booklet) "eine patina-behangende Melange" (Wolfgang Zwack/amazon.de)
"Grab your things, and let's get out of here before
They squash you"

Jennifer Warnes: Famous Blue Raincoat
"I believe that Cohen’s protestation that he doesn’t remember who or what the song is about exactly is a cop out. Like many artists, he doesn’t want to alienate listeners who have developed their own deeply personal interpretations of his songs by telling them what the “right” one is." (pisomojado/songmeanings.com) "Jahrelang bedeutete mein Name für die Platttenfirmen nur Tod. Jennifer hat mich zum Leben erweckt." (Leonard Cohen) "never tire of this music" (Robert S. Youman/positive-feetback.com)
"I guess that I miss you
I guess I forgive you"

Patti Smith: Graceful
"Patti sings the song she wrote the day Garcia died in 1995 with the same sincere grief as if he had died today." (liveforlivemusic.com) ""Patti Lee träumt zu viel mit offenen Augen", soll in ihrem Schulzeugnis gestanden haben". (Thomas Gross) "gestattet Frau Smith sich heute allenfalls eine verhaltene Melancholie" (Joachim Gauger/laut.de
"You can count every one
Until it crashes unto the earth
And simply slips away"

Anika: I go to sleep
"I could feel all of the pain and longing." (tigermoon/songmeanings.com) "alle Lieder, egal, wie fröhlich oder traurig sie ursprünglich mal waren, düster, müde, kaputt klingen" (Dirk Peitz) "simply an attempt at sound and fury, signifying nothing." (Laura Studarus/undertheradarmag.com)
"I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away"

Robin Gibb: Saved by the Bell
"Mir gefällt´s irgendwie, verstehe ich selbst nicht so ganz..." (AASFRESSER/hitparade.ch) "The relationship was about to come to an end and he was rescued by his own awareness on whether the relationship is working," (R.G.) "Ein Melancholiker vor dem Herrn mit leicht psychedelischen Anklängen, der zuletzt der Titanic noch ein Requiem zum 100. Untergangstag spendierte." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
"Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well"

The Verve: Sonnet
"Despite the low-key release twenty three years ago, Richard Ashcroft still admits that Sonnet can still move an audience." (radiox.co.uk) "Ständig rauf und runter zwischen den glücklichsten Gipfeln der Euphorie und den düstersten Tälern der Trauer" (Richard Ashcroft) "love don’t sound like no sonnet, and happiness, more or less" ((Frederick O'Brian/audioxide.com)
"Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye"
