“We exist for, and because of, you,” Chris Martin tells close to 50,000 people in the Estadio Ciudad de la Plata, Buenos Aires. Ever since they first broke big in 2000 with “Yellow,” a song that dedicates an entire night sky to an object of desire, Coldplay have betrayed a willingness to please. As deep into their career as 2016, Chris Martin was describing playing live as a “service,” viewing Coldplay as mere backing musicians in a communal, singalong experience for their fans.

A brief glance at the list of contents is enough to reveal who the singer is – only Anne Sofie von Otter could have come up with a programme as varied and wide-ranging. And only von Otter could hold it together seamlessly by finding the resonances between these very different pieces, and bringing them out with a rare ability of embracing different singing styles and expressive registers: to paraphrase Bernstein in his A Simple Song, Anne Sofie von Otter never fails to ‘sing like she likes to sing’.

Regeneration is the twentieth album by Roy Orbison, released in 1977. It marked the return to Monument Records where he had launched his greatest successes over fifteen years earlier where he released some of his greatest hits.

C'est avec une tendre et douce pensée pour son père, que le dernier titre de David Hallyday a vu le jour. Comment imaginer, à l'heure du départ, ce qu'on laisse derrière soi, ce qu'on aurait aimé faire encore une fois, ce qu'on aurait dû dire, sans fard. « Ma dernière lettre » est une ultime confidence d'un père à son fils. Une lettre d'amour lancée comme un cri, portée par une mélodie aérienne et pop. Le chanteur, avec force mais aussi pudeur, offre dans son interprétation, l'un de ses plus beaux titres.

DRIFT started as a journey with no fixed destination; an experiment and a very public investigation of new working processes by Underworld. On that journey, Karl and Rick stopped at a pig shed in Essex; Rockingham Speedway; a hotel room in Reykjavik; AIR studios and a series of tiny club shows in Amsterdam, Manchester and London. Each of those stop off points helped influence the creation of DRIFT Episode 1 parts 1 to 5…
