Labour of Love

Marvin the Album	Shape The exclamation point is gone from the band's name and so too is much of the dizzy innocence that made this Melbourne quartet's Marvin the Album debut one of 1994's special finds. --Jeff Bateman	Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? Their first full-length shows a band fully formed, with faint debts to the Sundays and the Smiths, but turning out more-than-tuneful pop behind the gorgeous lilt of Dolores O'Riordan. "Dreams" and "Linger" both seem to weave magic spells that remain even after the tracks pass, an...	Fashion Nugget The twisted cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is a statement of intent, while the cool jazz riffs from the band's trumpet player are part of what makes tracks like "Daria," "It's Coming Down," and "Frank Sinatra" so original. "The Distance" is a funked-up jam with a Chili...	The Very Best of Sheryl Crow Despite the photographic presence of an acoustic guitar (the rock & roll equivalent of a rubber bullet), the enviably lovely hair and the unassuming knitwear, Sheryl Crow is staring back at us from the cover of The Very Best Of with her chin resting on a fist clenched tightly wit...
Alright, Still Being, as she is, the daughter of prominent British actor Keith Allen, the cynics could easily dismiss the rise of Lily Allen as an act of backroom nepotism, a talent-free starlet helped to the stage by the right connections. But one listen to her debut album Alright, Still disp...	Are You Listening? It's been a long wait for the solo debut from Irish icon Dolores O'Riordan. After all, the Cranberries issued their swan song in 2001. After their break up, O'Riordan collaborated with Germany's Jam and Spoon, Italy's Zucchero, and David Lynch composer Angelo Badalamenti. She als...	Unwritten In the United Kingdom, New Zealand-born Natasha Bedingfield and brother Daniel Bedingfield have seemingly taken up permanent residence at the top of the pop charts. He's an earnest rocker with a dance music bent. She's an altogether more exciting prospect--a singer-songwriter who...	These Four Walls Shawn Colvin's fans are a dedicated and patient lot. They've had to be, to have waited five years for this new release and nearly six for the one before it. But she rewards the faithful with gems every time, and These Four Walls is no exception. Despite a label change to the more...	Time After Time Minus all the machinery that the music industry can put behind an artist, Eva Cassidy sang bewitchingly in Washington, D.C. and then died without fanfare in 1996, when she was a mere 33 years old. And then the world began hearing Cassidy, thanks largely to Songbird, a posthumous ...

Awesome CD
So Siked to find this CD. Hadn't listened to it since the early 90's! Awesome blast from the past!

the only great thing to come of dating mike bertrand
This record's fantastic. I could whine about its only failing being that it ends too soon, but at least there's no grey filler here as with most full-length albums. Every minute of the EP shimmers--a wee gem.

When she's good, she's very, very good
This was one of the first CDs I bought, and it kept me alive through many long, dark hours, late at night at work. Some tracks are wonderful, some just weird, but all are etched in my brain.

I love this CD!!!!!
I love this CD! Angie Hart's voice makes every word sound more beautiful than it ever has before. This is a CD that you can never get sick of...It sounds as great as it did the first time I listened to it.

Great music - Almost like an Australian Jewel
This music is really incredible. The lead singer will remind you a lot of the soft-spoken Jewel but there is something so compelling about her style and accent that it really keeps you coming back for more. Really, believe me, try this album.
