About Sheryl Crow

Crowded House:
Recurring Dream - The Very Best Of (1996)

Somewhere between happiness and despair. The amount of small pop pearls is impressive. In my book one of the finest things to origin from down under.

The Cure:
Wish (1992)

A fine mix of happy tunes and depressive masterpieces of life. Underrated as an album.

About The Cure

Garbage:
Version 2.0 (1998)

Less hit potential than the first one. But just as great. Builds on the soundscape of their debut and perfects every little detail.

About Garbage

C.V. Jørgensen:
Skygger & Magi - Syregrønne Evergreen's 74-94 (1996)

His songwriting stands as something unique in Denmark. A very personal and sharp way of telling stories and opinions.

R.E.M.:
New Adventures In Hi-Fi (1996)

A very mature album from one of rock's greatest. R.E.M. reached another level after they released "Automatic For The People".

About R.E.M.

Eros Ramazzotti:
Tutte Storie (1993)

The modern sound of romantic Italy.

Sneaker Pimps:
Becoming X (1996)

A moody trip hot and dance cocktail. A shame that the lead singer has left the band. Her voice is needed to create the special atmosphere of this fine debut album.

Dave Stewart And The Spiritual Cowboys:
Dave Stewart And The Spiritual Cowboys (1990)

Impossible to categorize. Great and odd at the same time.
