Paris (Malcolm McLaren Album)
''Paris'' is a double- CD by English artist Malcolm McLaren, released in 1994. A video, shot by David Bailey, was produced for "Paris Paris". Production The album was recorded in France over the course of a year, in an attic, with equipment purchased in England at discounted prices. Catherine Deneuve agreed to sing on ''Paris'' after telling McLaren that she had his lyrics rewritten. McLaren claimed that all of his vocals were first takes. "Miles and Miles of Miles Davis" is about Miles Davis's relationship with Juliette Gréco. Françoise Hardy sang on "Revenge of the Flowers". Critical reception The ''Toronto Star'' wrote: "Whether this is a weird travelogue, faux continental sophistication or the real thing, the grand swindler McLaren serves up a rakish and compelling listen." The ''Calgary Herald'' deemed the album "nothing more than a cliched celebration of Paris, songs steeped in marshmallow romance, postcard sentimentality, cheesy dance rhythms, pseudo-jazz."

Double Album
A double album (or double record) is an audio album that spans two units of the primary medium in which it is sold, typically either records or compact disc. A double album is usually, though not always, released as such because the recording is longer than the capacity of the medium. Recording artists often think of double albums as being a single piece artistically; however, there are exceptions such as John Lennon's '' Some Time in New York City'' (which consisted of one studio record and one live album packaged together) and OutKast's ''Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'' (effectively two solo albums, one by each member of the duo). Since the advent of the compact disc, albums are sometimes released with a bonus disc featuring additional material as a supplement to the main album, with live tracks, studio out-takes, cut songs, or older unreleased material. One innovation was the inclusion of a DVD of related material with a compact disc, such as video related to the album or DVD ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All-Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as All-Music Guide by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it, he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
