Juke Jules SUBS 26th Nov 2023 | | CinemaWish (2023) | ReviewHad an hour to kill today so I stopped by a cinema and chose "Wish" as I often like a bit of Disney. I didn't really enjoy it for two reasons: it was excessively "cutesie", nearly all its characters, especially the animals and the heroic little emoji-"Star" were insufferably cute. The only characters I found remotely credible were King Magnifico and Queen Amaya until they went downhill and were deemed 'baddies'. Second, the storyline didn't engage me, just as the storyline of "Phantom of the Opera" didn't; I just didn't care what happened to any of them. Pity really, and I was pleased to leave early to meet my friends.

Juke Jules SUBS 5th Nov 2023 | | CD Album9Bach - Anian | ReviewRather strange coupling; CD1 is fully Welsh-language 'Breakbeat/Electro', with vocals and piano by Lisa Jên with guitars, bass, drums, harp and hammer dulcimer, while the 'companion' CD is English narrative, as explained in the booklet.
I note that Real World divides their output into global regions, with UK CDs designated as 'Europe' - see realworldrecords.com/artists, but as they are catering to the WOMAD audience, they are all effectively 'International' releases.

|
Juke Jules SUBS 5th Oct 2023 | | CD AlbumJohnny Hallyday - Cadillac | ReviewPlayright 1989 but copyright 2010 suggests that the tracks date from 1989 when Hallyday was 46. Nine of the ten tracks are hard rockin' numbers, and the brief "Testament D'un Poète" is a romantic ballad with orchestral backing.
The title track seems to have a different, or an additional bassist: Phil Soussan may have been bassist on this set, but the fretless bass on Cadillac sounds so like Pino Palladino.
[YouTube Video]
The live version from a concert at Bercy in 1990 shows the bassist for a full second at 4:22, and he looks so like Palladino to me, while the brief appearance suggests there were contractual reasons not to shown more. This live version is identical to the album track, complete with some gorgeous BGVs, so I think the entire set was recorded live.
[YouTube Video]
The typical hard rock style can be heard on Possible En Moto, complete with instrumental motorcycle effect, Yves Sanna is credited as drummer for the set:
[YouTube Video]
"Si J'étais Moi" is a powerful ballad, and the duet seems to be with Vanessa Paradis, who by then would be 27:
[YouTube Video]
The orchestra on (Le) Testament D'un Poète was apparently the Symphonic Orchestra of Europe, conducted by Olivier Holt:
[YouTube Video]
Altogether a powerful and emotional set with Hallyday at his very best,
