This album is way better than the film..........2007-02-03

Since the first review focused on what they didn't know about the bands, I'll point out some of the acts:

Tre Lux is Tina Root of Switchblade Symphony, one of the biggest Dark Wave bands of the 90's.

Shiny Toy Guns are huge right now, just played Leno a month ago.

Collide are one of the bigger bands of the goth/electro scene.

Bow Wow Wow...even the other reviewer knew who they are.

Sparklemotion had a hit on itunes from the Napoleon Dynamite Sountrack.

New Skin are a new English band produced by one of the guys who produced Depeche Mode and the Cure.

but whatever - the point is the album is really good - there's only one song I wasn't crazy about and for a soundtrack, that's saying a lot.

I can't say the same for the film...but oh well.

Yet Another 80's Mostly Lame New Wave Cover Song Collection by Mostly Unknowns.......2007-01-28

I get the impression that cover song collections are quite the rage in Hollywood Movie circles when dealing with 'troubled' movie productions. It's cheap in that all the artists cannot command any upfront cash for their appearance. It smacks of indy-cred to get these artists, mostly electro-goth types, together. Too bad most of the cover versions are only mildly interesting. I also suspect that the soundtrack CD will be of more interest in a years time than the movie will...Why the producers of the film decided to so radically transform the book into a forced-copy of 'Underworld' escapes me, I guess filming for so cheap in Eastern Europe was the main reason. Too bad, I really enjoyed the book. Buy the book instead of buying this CD or watching the movie.

Except for Bow Wow Wow (glad to see they are struggling along still, but this IS DEFINITELY NOT their best work), almost all of these bands are probably unknown to 99.99% of the listening public. I have heard of Collide before this, kinda synthy darkwave band, very enjoyable, please go buy their other work ;) Almost of these songs lack the excitement and punch of the originals, why bother then making effort? I guess if I must, the first three songs are pleasant enough to listen to and I kind of like the Collide number as well...The rest can be safely deleted if you decide to convert these tracks to MP3s and just keep the aforementioned four tracks.

Hi.

Does anyone know what is the music from the opening titles of the movie?It is before the song Omiya starts.It is not included in the CD and i'd like to know the title.

Great Indian Mystery, well-done.......2005-07-16

This is a very nice album for esoteric enthusiasts to add to their Indian mix.

I love Indian Music.......2005-07-05

I love the movie Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. Indira Varhma and Sarita Chowdery are very, very beautiful women. And the music in the movie was hott! Especially the song at Princess Tara's wedding where everyone is dancing and Maya is serving the guests in her beautiful red sari. It had a cool beat and I felt like dancing, Indian style!

Kama Sutra = Beautiful Movie, Beautiful Music.......2005-06-27

Love the movie...cinematography is wonderful, a truely beautiful movie, everything is a feast for the eyes. The soundtrack is just as good, perfect blend of exotic music that can be enjoyed lounging around or even bellydanced to.

Captivating!!!!.......2003-09-05

The songs are sensual, calming, meditative and spiritual. If you appreciate different cultures, this album is for you. Whenever i play this album i turn all the lights out, and light candles, burn incense and meditate. I highly recommend this album with monsoon wedding soundtrack. Everyone i know loves this album. Get it.

Not my favorite.......2007-03-26

I have grown into quite the Leonard Cohen fan, but this particular CD goes to the bottom of the growing pile of my Cohen collection. I can't even remember why, just that I wasn't interested in listening to it again, unlike all of his others, which I play over and over, seemingly never tiring of them.

I locked you in this body, I meant it as a kind of trial; you can use it as a weapon, or to make some woman smile........2005-12-09

In terms of the individual songs on this album, they are varied but all strong and coherent. This album really breaks away from Cohen's other early works in terms of production values. It has a bright sound, and slightly fuller instrumentation on some tracks. I would also say that with this album, Cohen ends his classic early period epitomized by his first four or five albums. As an explanation to some confused reviewers, the song "Who by Fire" is derived from a Jewish prayer recited on Yom Kippur, with Cohen's english translation not mirroring the original, but capturing its' prescience.

Marred by a few lackluster songs.......2002-11-06

I must admit, Leonard Cohen bounces back and forth between my #1 and #2 spots on my "best musicians of all time" list (he and Tom Waits switch places depending on my mood). Yet with the exception of his first album I find it hard to give any of his albums five stars. Typically Cohen includes a few songs that simply aren't as evocative or haunting as the masterpieces that peek out between them. On this disk that slot is taken by the songs "Why Don't You Try" and "Is This What You Wanted?". Both songs limp along ably enough to their finishes; it is just that in contrast to the genius displayed elsewhere by Cohen, they come off as filler songs that push the total track number up high enough to call this an album. These are songs that lesser lyricists would be happy to call their best, but with my higher standards for Cohen I am still holding out for an album as consistent as his first.

You may be wondering now why I count Cohen as my first-or-second favorite artist after I have expressed such opinions about his music, and the reason is simply this: that when he's good, he's so good that he blows everyone else away. One of his greatest songs is on this album: "Chelsea Hotel #2". This song at first drove me, like Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35", to wonder where the first version of "Chelsea Hotel" had gone. but after one listen to the song, I decided it was irrelevant. The version Cohen has here is flawless. I have heard that this song was written for Janis Joplin, but personal details become unnecessary in the face of such a heartfelt and powerful song. One does not need to have had the exact experience Cohen describes to understand the feelings he is converying; you only need to have one "fallen robin" in your past and his song can mutate into your story, told better than you ever could tell it. The song also contains a bitter and ironic last verse that rivals "Dress Rehearsal Rag" on "Songs of Love and Hate" for reversal of audience expectations.

But don't think that's the only good song here. "A Singer Must Die" is a poignant allegory, one even more relevant as we witness loss of traditional civil liberties in the US and in other parts of the world. "Who By Fire" is justly ranked among Cohen's best also, detailing what I hear as a list of different ways to die, though I would welcome remarks from anyone with a different interpretation of the meaning of this song. "Who by Fire" also demonstrates the proper way for Cohen to integrate the choir of females he employs as back-up singers into his songs in a tasteful manner. In later albums he seems to abuse their existence, allowing them to upstage his mellow, despairing voice. But here they blend perfectly. Finally, "There is a War" foreshadows Cohen's explicitly political turn in his later album "The Future". All in all, this ranks among Cohen's better recordings, and it is worth wading through the mediocre tunes to get to his true gems.

Poetry in motion.......2002-07-12

New Skin For The Old Ceremony is a masterpiece, and one of Leonard Cohen's best albums. It's a truly great effort, and too often overlooked. Although his first three albums - particularly the first and third - are all certified masterpieces, this one, his fourth, was his first attempt to move beyond them in scope. Incorporating background vocalists and a wider array of instrumentation than he employed on those sparse first three efforts, Cohen creates here an album broader, more epic in scope than its predecessors. He also began, for the first time, to lighten up on the subject matter of his lyrics: incorporating some - albeit rather dark - humor into several of the songs here, Cohen creates an album - which, along with its broader musical pallette - that is a much easier listen this his first three, which were at times so depressing as to lend themselves to the status of "mood" albums. That said, Cohen is Cohen, and his themes remain the same; he has a lighter touch here at times, is all. Although the opening track, Is This What You Wanted?, features lyrics like "You were K.Y. Jelly/I was Vaseline" much of the rest of the album is pervaded with a deep and dark sense of self-loathing: Cohen places himself on a pedastal and de-construcs his persona as he did on "Avalanche", but in a much less abstract, far more direct and disturbing way. Cohen at this time was going through a period of extreme personal depression and writer's block (which would culminate in the Phil Spector collaboration on Death of A Ladies' Man), and songs such as Field Commander Cohen and A Singer Must Die attest to his state of mind at the time. A deep, dark, driving masterpiece with just the right amount of light touch, New Skin For The Old Ceremony is a great album, and an essential purchase for any admirer of Leonard Cohen.

A step up for Cohen.......2001-11-12

"You were Marlon Brando, I was Steve McQueen/You were K.Y. Jelly, I was Vaseline/You were the father of modern medicine, I was Mr. Clean/You where the (...) and the beast of Babylon, I was Rin Tin Tin," Leonard Cohen sings on "Is This What You Wanted," a song that displays the much-needed dose of humor added to his lyrical exercises in regret and self-depreciation on his fourth album, 1974's New Skin for the Old Ceremony. New Skin's more varied instrumentation, looser vocal approach and added wit make it Cohen's best album yet. Although he was always a finely skilled and richly tender poet, one could only endure so much of Cohen's earlier albums as spirit-stomping and disheartened as they were. Although the main subject matter of New Skin is still grief, Cohen confronts life's tragedies with a different approach. He abandons the mournful wailing of songs like "Bird on a Wire" or "Stories of the Street" and the somber expressions of "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" or "The Stranger Song" and dons a type of charisma, classified somewhere between crooner and beatnik, and stands in a mock-confrontational pose, challenging both the complicated nature of society ("A Singer Must Die," "Field Commander Cohen," "There is a War") and distressing predicaments with another cast of abusive, self-destructive, yet intoxicating women ("I Tried to Leave You," "Chelsea Hotel #2," "Leaving Green Sleeves") with a fistful of clever irony and satire. Cohen's tongue being placed in his cheek does not, however, equal the complete loss of the intimate, folk rock beauty of his music. "Who by the Fire" is as striking, moving and poignant any song the man has written and "Take This Longing" is one of his most ardent, elegantly expressed requests. Generally, the album keeps the solemn and dignified air of Cohen's previous works. Its added whimsical flair only makes his music more entertaining and invigorating.

Customer Reviews:

The enduring tradition element trumps all.......2007-05-30

First off; if you like strong melodic themes and thoughtful arrangements, this largely instrumental band is for you. Depending on what side of Focus that the listener fancies, this is either a moderately successful attempt to keep current or, a showcase for neo-Classicisms and restrained melody or a romp in the field with Thijs and the boys whooping their way through. Or (you fill in the blank). With half the original line-up (Thijs and Pierre play superbly, not to take anything away from Niels and Bobby, but you feel the maturity in the formers' craftsmanship), one could be forgiven for expecting the controlled majesty mixed with fervent soloing that the 1970s LPs brought with such splendor. And here we do see Thijs in fine compositional form (perhaps him at his best is Dona Nobis Pacem, his side band project [by Pedal Point] of the early 80s, I highly recommend it). However, the more modern passages intermixed, funky and rocky, are not particularly up to former standards harmonically or ideawise, which I'm not altogether sure is Thijs' fault -- it often sounds like the band is just having fun riffing on whatever fell first from their collective hands. Niels does a creditable job on guitar, but as other reviewers have noted, he has large shoes to fill and needs a bit more of an instrumental voice. I have studied him on youtube and believe he is beginning to approach this threshold.
All in all, a very nice outing from a wonderfully unique band I feared had crumbled post-Focus 8.

kind of disappointing..........2007-02-26

Focus is my all-time fave band! Therefore, I am quite opinionated, and probably hold them to a higher standard than I have any right to. Lord knows, this is still light years better than anything else out there that tries to pass itself off as progressive. The tunes are very good (though I agree, we've heard something close to some of them before). The big problem for me, is the guitar chair. One thing that Akkerman, Albers, and Dumee shared is a distinctive voice, as soon as you hear it you recognize it! It just so happens that Akkerman and Albers are two of the finest guitarists in the world as well. I don't think the new guitarist is in that class (yet). He plays very well, but does NOT have his own voice. In fact, there are no surprises in the solos at all, harmonically, or sonically. But jeez, he's young, let's give him a chance! But, sorry, this doesn't make it for a Focus album for me, needs more "ape****" guitar (to quote an Akkermanism). My dream is to see Eef Albers back in the Focus guitar chair, and then have them tour. Whoaa..

Familiarity doesn't necessarily breed contempt........2007-01-04

As enjoyable as this album is, you can't help but feel that you've heard some of it elsewhere. This is not meant to take anything away from Thijs Van Leer's writing skills, it's just that his style doesn't seem to have altered that much since the early Focus days. I guess you can view that from either a good or bad perspective depending on whether your wish is to hear that classic Focus sound once again, or maybe something that's a little more progressive. Although his yodelling days seem to be behind him, Thijs doesn't fail to utilize his range of weird but wonderfully unique vocal rantings throughout the album, the pinnacle being a really way-out track where he recites the name of virtually every Focus song ever released.......certainly original! There's no doubt that re-introducing Pierre Van Der Linden on the drums has had a profound effect on restoring some of that original sound, and his maturity as a drummer is immediately obvious. From a purely personal point of view, I think that Jan Akkerman's shoes are still proving big ones to fill (that's probably not Van Leer's intention anyway). Jan Dumee did a first-rate job during his tenure (ending in 2004), and the track BROTHER from Focus 8 was an outstanding piece of work. New guitarist Niels Van Der Steenhoven joined the band in July 2006, and already seemed to have the Focus sound pretty well figured out by the time this new album was released two months later. Both Dumee and Van Der Steenhoven are very clean players, but that's half of the problem if Van Leer is intent on restoring the classic line-up sound. Jan Akkerman wasn't (and still isn't to my mind) what you could call the cleanest of electric guitar players, and strangely enough, that was one of his greatest contributions to Focus' incredible live sound. He occasionally lost his way during his lengthy (and some would call self-indulgent) guitar solos, (you'd see him smirk on stage when he lost it) and then brilliantly fight his way back into the piece. Just listen to his return after he hiccups during SYLVIA on the fairly recent "10,000 Clowns..." live album. Sorry about the long detour, but all in all, FOCUS 9 is a terrific album in its own right, and bursting with both the pathos and fun we've come to expect from anything involving Thijs Van Leer (He's still a riot on stage). The stand-out tracks for me are "FOCUS 7", "SYLVIA'S STEPSON" and "IT TAKES 2 2 TANGO". By the way, if you're into Jan Akkerman, then his brilliant acoustic album PASSION shows the great man at his best (even if he still tends to meander a little at times!)

Brilliant! .......2006-11-18

FOCUS once again shows the "old timers" are still the best! Great tunes, great soloing, tasty, with a sense of humor (one tune has Thijs Van Leer making a story out of the titles of old Focus tunes). Pierre Van Der Linden is back in the fold, with his best drumming and drum SOUND ever! NO ONE sounds like these guys, they still have a sound all their owm and instantly recognizable without being dated. Enjoy....

Two classics.......2001-08-14

Songs From A Room: Cohen followed up his debut album with another masterpiece, this collection of magnificent songs of solitude, despair and resignation. Besides The Partisan, a song about the French resistance with its beautiful French verses and female vocals, all compositions are by Cohen.

The most popular number here is Bird On A Wire that has been covered by artists as diverse as Johnny Cash, Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Rita Coolidge, Tim Hardin, The Neville Brothers and Jennifer Warnes. For some reason, the opening lines of Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes make me think of Frodo's journey to Mordor (in Lord Of The Rings): "A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes/Were smoking out upon the open road."

Other highlights include The Story Of Isaac and The Old Revolution, in both of which Cohen's characteristic Biblical imagery surfaces, and the sombre Lady Midnight with its many levels of meaning. Seems So Long Ago is a wistful confessional dirge whilst You Know Who I Am is a delicate love poem with esoteric undertones: "I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one".

The mood lightens up on the closing track Tonight Will Be Fine with its catchy melody, lilting rhythm and erotic lyric to end the album on a more optimistic note, although even here the sadness is just a sigh away.

Cohen's sublime music has a transcendent, spiritual quality. These haunting songs "from a room" have lost none of their poetic impact after 3 decades; their grace, elegance and beauty shine on.

New Skin For The Old Ceremony represents Cohen's first break from the early folk simplicity of his classic albums Songs Of Leonard Cohen, Songs From A Room and Songs Of Love And Hate, as it boasts a wider array of instruments including trombone, viola, percussion, mandolin and trumpet.

This fuller instrumentation, together with a less restrained vocal style, makes the collection more varied. It's as if he deliberately veered closer to the rock tradition here. In retrospect, the delivery on some of these songs now sound not dissimilar to the feel of Death Of A Ladies' Man (1978), especially on e.g. Is This What You Wanted?

His trademark spirituality is much in evidence on tracks like Chelsea Hotel No. 2, Lover Lover Lover, Who By Fire and Take This Longing. Although not all the songs here live up to his highest achievements, this album confirms Cohen's unusual gift for striking metaphor and rich allusive imagery.

A Comic-Opera Treasure!.......2007-01-28

Dittersdorf is a sort of working-man's Mozart; in fact, this opera sounds similar to some of Mozart's early operas. But Mozart sought to break the rules and to explore new musical ideas; Dittersdorf is not an innovator...yet he is no less a master! This performance, too, is a materpiece of refined (not always!) comedy; the arias include some extremely difficult vocal leaps and trills, yet the primary joy is the witty verse. W.H. Auden (no less!) ramrodded this translation to English. And Anna Russell, famed for her "Analysis of Wagner's Ring Cycle" steals every scene she's in! Ad-libbing shamelessly, her introductory aria, all by itself, is worth more than the purchase price!

an obscure delight!.......2002-07-31

Eleanor Steber's image on the cover of this set caught my eye while rummaging through the cut-out bins of San Francisco on a recent opera whirlwind. What a lost treasure this performance is - recorded "LIVE" in NYC 1965! All the principles shine, their energy ebullient. Don't hesitate, buy it and smile before it disappears.

Great single.......2000-08-27

This is the second single off of Methods of Mayhem's self-titled debut. It's a great song, with good lyrics and instrumentation. Here's a run-down on the tracks:

1. New Skin (Radio Edit)-This is the version you hear on the radio and in the video. Unlike the album version, Kid Rock isn't in it. Still great, though.

2. Hypocritical (Rage Against the Remix)-Sounds more like a demo than a remix to me. But that's just my opinion. A good track, nontheless.

3. Spun (Album Version)-This is the album version of Track 11 on their debut album. It's a techno kind of song, no words or anything. The Crystal Method produced it. Great track.

This single also includes the video for "Get Naked", their first single.

a lethal combination.......2000-07-26

well, new skin is one of great songs in this world...and in my point of view...actually Methods Of Mayhem is one of the best bands ever...and this song that featuring kid Rock...it really a great song with a good lyrics..Tommy speaks his life then kid Rock speaks his life(or rappin' must i say..? who believe that Tommy can rap before this..?) seems like they wanna say the circle in life that they have been 'thru. and the music itself is great. the riffs...the structure of this song is kinda great...even i prefer Metamorphosis...well, all songs in MOM album seems like telling the life of a unique, talented man called Tommy Lee...i know he's not gonna finish when he left Motley Crue...MOM is a great new skin of him...but what can i say...? just like Korn, Deftones, NIN, Soulfly....they don't have any best song because they have produced the best songs so far....

Just what I needed!!.......2007-05-08

I have had such hit and miss strategy with most cds these days, when something as good as this comes across my cd stack, I am honored to be a part of the music.

I don't even know the category of music that I seem to like - Switchblade Symphony, Birthday Massacre, Butterfly Messiah, Collide, Opera Macabre - all of them are hauntingly dark and melodic, a little dance-y, sometimes with a twinge of rock.

This goes right up into my top ten!
