Crowded House

Очень нравится эта команда. Нахожу ее очень битловской , плюс отличный современный саунд. "Hey Now", "Weather with you", "Fall at your feet" - великолепные вещи. Был уверен, что это британская группа, а ребята оказались из Новой Зеландии!
А вам как они?

У меня любимые - Private Universe, Fingers Of Love. Да и вообще весь альбом Together Alone часто слушал.
А началось все еще в школе с Better Be Home Soon. Видел как-то live - Don't Dream It's Over - здорово.
К сожалению, они уже распались, насколько мне известно.

Их недавно перепели sixpence none the richer. don't dream it's over - ох**рительная песня!! Важен даже текст

Theodor: а что удивительного в том, что они из Новой Зеландии - это ж государство Британского содружества :-)).

Одна из моих самых-самых любимых групп. Особенно люблю "Together Alone", щемяще грустный, но не тоскливый. Fingers Of Love - одна из лучших баллад в роке за всю историю, ИМХО.
Кстати, временами голос Нейла Финна звучит очень по ленноновски, вы не замечали?
Очень жаль, что их больше нет...

Я тоже могу отнести себя к поклонникам этой группы. Жаль, что у меня пока не все альбомы есть.Мне нравится в них сочетание хорошей мелодичной музыки и текстов, которые действительно важны.

А Neil Finn альбомы слушали ?
Просто прелесть
Кто не знает рекомендую для начала песенки
Last one standin
Wherever you are
She will Have her Way

"Кстати, временами голос Нейла Финна звучит очень по ленноновски, вы не замечали?"

Так не только по-ленноновски, Нейл Янг тоже пел Don't Dream is Over, а после нее - Imagine на каком-то концерте.... Так было очень даже по Crowded Houseвски, ленноновски и янговски :-)))

Ya, kstati, kogda perviy raz uslyshal, davno eshe, podumal, chto eto solnik Lennona :)
Horoshaya gruppa, Fall at my feet - my favourite

Полюбуйтесь :-)

Theodor, спасибо за тему Вам и тем, кто ее поднял! Я, конечно, слышала некоторые их песни по радио и они мне нравились, но дальше дело не шло. А когда увидела эту тему, решила купить их диск. Нашла сборник их песен, который меня очень вдохновил. К перечисленным выше песням я еще хочу добавить Not The Girl You Think Are - отличная песня.

Finn Brothers Back "Here"

New Zealand siblings to release first set in eight years

Everyone Is Here, the Finn Brothers' first album together in eight years, is due August 24th. The Finns' second outing as a duo began with a jam session in their native New Zealand. "Both of us had come off a cycle of two solo records, and we knew that together something special might happen," says Tim. "One of the first songs we came up with whilst jamming out on the West Coast of Auckland didn't make the album, but it was about our mother who passed on three years ago, and so we felt her presence . . . and it opened the floodgates."
Tim and younger brother Neil have made music together around the house and professionally since they were kids. Neil joined Tim's Split Enz in 1977, and Tim joined Neil's Crowded House more than a decade later.

"We perform for each other and against each other so the process is more dynamic and emotional," says Neil. "This makes for good music that is outgoing. Tim has a knack for titles and clear themes, whilst I have a tendency to take a lateral turn or two. Tim likes to do a song and then leave it alone. I tend to tinker and look at it from all sides. Between us, a good balance emerges."

The first song written for the album mirrored this approach with a "dark dramatic verse" from Tim and an "uplifting chorus" from Neil. "I think we bring out the best in each other," echoes Tim. "Sometimes after a certain amount of wary maneuvering."

While the first Finn Brothers album, 1995's Finn, was recorded in a scant four weeks, both brothers hailed the new LP's more meticulous approach. "This one is more fully rounded, more expansive and outgoing," says Neil. "We edited ourselves more rigorously."

"For a start, Matt Chamberlain [Tori Amos, the Wallflowers] is on the drums instead of me," says Tim. "Much as I love drumming, it's exciting to have a maestro in the house. This record stands up for the sound of people playing together in a room, as did Finn, but this time there were four or five of us, instead of two."

The Finns teamed with a host of producers on the album, including Tony Visconti (David Bowie), Adam Kasper (Foo Fighters), Bob Clearmountain (Paul McCartney) and long-time collaborator Mitchell Froom (Los Lobos).

"Each of them brought what we hoped they would to the songs," Tim says. "Mitchell with his clear-eyed responses to arrangements that serve the vocals, and his ability to balance us both out; Bob with his wide-screen vision and dedication to the emotion of the song; Adam with his ability to get us playing live and getting inside vocal performances; and Tony with his sheer musicality and talent with arrangements."

Tim and Neil plan to tour the U.S. this fall with a full band that will include bassist Tim Smith and, appropriately enough, twin brothers drummer Jeremy Stacey and guitarist/keyboardist Paul Stacey.

"Neil and I are looking forward to doing these songs with their full arrangements," Tim says. "We can also break it down at will, and maybe sing some old tunes acoustically."

Есть огромная просьба. Не мог бы кто-нибудь выслать на почту maria_ivanova77@inbox.ru песню crowded house
"nails in my feet" (my life is a house..) или дать ссылку где можно ее взять.

Спасибо скажу если пришлете, если не пришлете - тоже скажу)

Maria Ivanova
Песня выслана утром, проверьте почтовый ящик.

Потрясающая группа. Действительно, звучат очень по-битловски. Слушал все их альбомы, набор любимых песен тот же, что и у всех, в принципе... Добавлю только еще Mean To Me.
Еще смотрел их прощальный концерт 1997 года... Вот это действительно здорово!..

дико извиняюсь, но песня не пришла(

Tim and Neil Finn Finish Next Album

Tim and Neil Finn have downed tools on their second Finn album. The album titled 'Everyone Is Here' will be the follow-up to their 1995 Finn album.

Both Finn brothers spent the early part of May mixing the album in the USA with Bob Clearmountain. Mitchell Froom was the album's producer. He worked on the early Crowded House albums as well as various solo albums for Neil and Tim.

Finn will start their world tour in Vancouver, Canada on July 9 and have scheduled an outdoor gig for Central Park in New York on July 30. Martin Sexton will support for that show.

The tracklisting for 'Everyone Is Here' is:

Won't Give In
Nothing Wrong With You
Anything Can Happen
Luckiest Man Alive

The Finn's also recorded two more tracks, 'Way Back Down' and 'Land Torments The Sea' which will be used a B-sides.

'Everyone Is Here' will be released by EMI in August.

Отправил только что два письма, одно простое, другое с вложением песни (около 5мб). Если второе не пройдет, значит, скоее всего, ящик переполнен.

Неужто опять не прошло?
