Blogovision 2021, no.19: Mechanimal - Θόρυβος (Noise)

 


Κόκκινη η ποίηση τρέχει, 

Σαν αίμα περιόδου 

Της ανοιχτής πληγής που σημαδεύεις κάθε τόσο 

Με την ορμή αλλοπαρμένου σαρκοφάγου ζώου. 


Red the poetry flows,

Like period blood

Of the open wound you keep aiming at time after time

Rushed like a wacky carnivorous animal.


Lyrics from Κόκκινη η Ποίηση Τρέχει (Red The Poetry Flows), by Mechanimal,

from their album Θόρυβος (Noise)

Blogovision 2019, best albums of the decade, no.10: Dead Can Dance - Anastasis


With every generation comes
Another memory lapse
See the demonstrations of
Failing to learn from our past
We live in the dreamtime
Nothing seems to last
Can you really plan a future
When you no longer have a past

Memories fall from the trees
Amnesia

Lyrics from Amnesia by Dead Can Dance, from their album Anastasis

Blogovision 2017, no.15: Ane Brun - Leave Me Breathless


In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

lyrics from the song I Want To Know What Love Is 
by Ane Brun, from the album Leave Me Breathless

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.10: Chinawoman - Let's Part In Style


She had put it all behind her. The life, the friends, the family, the home-town, the country. It seemed almost as if some other person had gone through all those experiences, emotions, situations. The only common thread now was dance. She started dancing back at St. Petersburg and had quickly climbed up the strict and unforgiving ballet hierarchy. She knew it would be a ticket far from that life. And it was. Most Western European and American ballet companies had come begging. She chose wisely and moved to New York. She became a star like no other. But there were always the memories. And that music. Chinawoman. But not from China. Russian born in Canada of immigrant parents. It never failed to connect her with that other life, that other person. She had even choreographed some of her songs as they touched her innermost self. And the new record, Let's Part In Style did exactly that. She had to meet her, find out more about her. A woman is still a woman.

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.13: Hundred Waters - The Moon Rang Like a Bell


Eugenia returned to her office really excited. She had found the perfect music to use for the upcoming commercial. The latest Hundred Waters album, The Moon Rang Like a Bell, was on her playing list on repeat for the last months. She listened to with every chance she got. The mixture of influences she could discern (whether conscious or not), from Cocteau Twins to Bjork to Mum to folk, all stuff she had in her record collection in abundance, made her feel instantly at ease listening to the album - but also it sounded fresh and exciting like nothing else. And last night was the moment she knew she had to use their music for her advertising. Would it detract from their immense appeal? Certainly not!
