...great album to relax to, and transports the listener into a much less complicated world of tranquil musicality. It will also be released in two-disc format, with the latter disc providing remixes of the songs by a number of semi-famous artists, such as Jesu and Paper Chase. Having not heard the remix disc, I can’t say whether it will promote the same sense of psychedelic euphoria when combined with illegal substances. But the un-remixed album will make your toes curl up with delight. Even if you’re not partial to trance-like...
...stretch--there are also similarities. Damon and Ripley are both from the Boston area. Both are eager to please, polite and attentive to whomever they're with. Both work incredibly hard on the project at hand. For Ripley, Damon spent a month learning to play the piano and perfected Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring on the harmonium for a scene he knew would be cut from the movie. "I'm a writer.

The captivating backgrounds of their songs were impressive as well: they wove classics like Faure's "Pavane" and Bach's Jesu, "Joy of Man's Desiring" into songs inspired by remote sources such as Greek myth. By the end of their set, the Kennedys had the crowd screaming, whistling, and singing along with them to the familiar Beatles chorus, "She loves you/Yeah, yeah, yeah...
...American record buyers. Wholesome is hot these days--look at Ricky Martin or Britney Spears--but Voice of an Angel may prove a harder sell, consisting as it does of wishy-washy arrangements of hymns and Celtic folk songs, with Andrew Lloyd Webber's easy-listening setting of Pie Jesu thrown in for bad measure. Sony Classical, which is devoting a steadily increasing share of its energies to such lowbrow crossover projects as Michael Bolton's My Secret Passion: The Arias and the Titanic sound track, is promoting the CD aggressively (Church is sharing space with Mariah Carey on some...
