The Cure - Bloodflowers (2000)

Tracklist:

1. "Out of This World" – 6:44
2. "Watching Me Fall" – 11:13
3. "Where the Birds Always Sing" – 5:44
4. "Maybe Someday" – 5:04
5. "The Last Day of Summer" – 5:36
6. "There Is No If..." – 3:44
7. "The Loudest Sound" – 5:09
8. "39" – 7:20
9. "Bloodflowers" – 7:31

No one revels in the sumptuous pleasures of melancholy like Robert Smith, the Cure's leading mopemeister. In Smith's world, it is always raining, comfort and happiness are fleeting, love is epic and torturous. On Bloodflowers, the band's 11th studio album, his lyrical prowess continues to astound. Considering the subject matter, Smith's always managed to steer clear of the clichéd, bad-high-school-poetry trap, and on Bloodflowers, the imagery is some of his most vivid and stabbing. On "The Loudest Sound," a story about a couple who are, of course, growing apart, he sings of their tension: "She dreams him as a boy / And he loves her as a girl / And side by side in the silence without a single word / It's the loudest sound I ever heard." The music grows out of the same dichromatic marriage of love's eternal hope and heartbreak's inevitable bleakness. Layers of the Cure's signature ethereal, buoyant guitar licks are paced at the momentum of a lava lamp, while melodies lurk only in an understated synth or distorted guitar. None of the songs scream "radio hit" like Wish's "Friday I'm in Love" anomaly; and although Bloodflowers is less abstract, comparisons to Disintegration are easily drawn. If this really threatens to be the last Cure album--no, really, the real end--it's a vision of loneliness and loveliness, a low note rarely surpassed in beauty and breadth.

Pat Metheny - Day Trip (2008)

Tracklist:

1. Son Of Thirteen
2. At Last You're Here
3. Let's Move
4. Snova
5. Calvin's Keys
6. Is This America?
7. When We Were Free
8. Dreaming Trees
9. The Red One
10. Day Trip
    

Our job is to be deeply in the moment, says Pat Metheny. Day Trip, the first release from Metheny's current trio lineup, featuring bassist Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez, vividly depicts the group at one particularly inspired moment. As Metheny explains, We did it the old-school way. We'd been touring for about four or five years at different times and then went in and recorded, rather than making a record and touring behind it. We worked like gangbusters and finished in a day, so the title Day Trip fit. Besides, this is kind of a trip band; they take you on a journey. The Day Trip sessions were recorded at Manhattan’s Right Track studio in late October 2005 and sequenced into a ten-song set earlier this year.

11. The Ghosts of Saturday Night


Escuchando The Heart of Saturday Night uno prácticamente se puede imaginar el bar casi vacio, mal iluminado, de ambiente viciado a cigarrillo; y en un rincón, el californiano de la voz rasposa cantando sus canciones (monólogos?) con tintes de folk, jazz y blues; con su infaltable whisky y puchos arriba del piano. Este es el disco definitivo del sábado bajonero.

Joni Mitchell - Blue (1971)

Tracklist:

1. "All I Want" – 3:32
2. "My Old Man" – 3:33
3. "Little Green" – 3:25
4. "Carey" – 3:00
5. "Blue" – 3:00
6. "California" – 3:48
7. "This Flight Tonight" – 2:50
8. "River" – 4:00
9. "A Case of You" – 4:20
10. "The Last Time I Saw Richard" – 4:13

Sad, spare, and beautiful, Blue is the quintessential confessional singer/songwriter album. Forthright and poetic, Joni Mitchell's songs are raw nerves, tales of love and loss (two words with relative meaning here) etched with stunning complexity; even tracks like "All I Want," "My Old Man," and "Carey" -- the brightest, most hopeful moments on the record -- are darkened by bittersweet moments of sorrow and loneliness. At the same time that songs like "Little Green" (about a child given up for adoption) and the title cut (a hymn to salvation supposedly penned for James Taylor) raise the stakes of confessional folk-pop to new levels of honesty and openness, Mitchell's music moves beyond the constraints of acoustic folk into more intricate and diverse territory, setting the stage for the experimentation of her later work. Unrivaled in its intensity and insight, Blue remains a watershed.
