Sant Angelo

Advantages: great , City near
Disadvantages: ----

...Who stays for several days and nights in Barcelona, he needs, is not private or has found accomodation in the youth hostel, a hotel. Because the supply was big for October and we did not know the town, the choice and the decision were difficult for a certain hotel! Our criteria Central position - because we were only four days in the town was that our main criterion. To reach transport-technically well - already at home we had found out about the possibilities with metro and buses to be able to use them then also intensely. Four stars, but affordably - of course is also the aspect in price always an essential argument for one Hotel. Whether it was also inexpensive then, then this will show itself only behind. Our hotel in Barcelona, Position The supply of hotel NH Sant Angelo seemed to fulfil all our needs and to...

Review of NH Sant Angelo, Barcelona

Be His Lady

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...When D?Angelo (a singer-songwriter responsible for the ?Black Men United? song ?U Will Know?) dropped ?Brown Sugar? in 1995 as his debut album, he kick-started what would soon be known as Neo-Soul as he came with an R&B album which brought in influences from the Golden Age of Soul in addition to other alternative styles such as Funk, Hip Hop and Jazz (as would be taken on by the likes of Erykah Badu, Raphael Saadiq and Jill Scott in the future to singlehandedly revolutionise the R&B world. 1. ?Brown Sugar? The album gets going with perhaps the biggest track from the album. It is a great way to get things started here as he lays down a mellow groove to ease the listeners in as he comes in with a smooth one and shows his general approach here as he comes with a tune which sounds as if it is done in a simplistic manner, but can be...

Review of Brown Sugar [PA] - D'Angelo

Should Angelo Be Wrapped In Plastic...

Advantages: Some great songs, a good intro the SC3
Disadvantages: Not as good as the second album

.... * Blaze of the Grail * But my lack of attention on the previous track could just be because it's before what is probably my favourite track on the album. If Angelo Badalamenti ever did the soundtrack to a Bond film there's a good chance it wouldn't sound to far from this. Opening with a wah wah guitar part that seems to sweep far more than is healthy, hypnotic string picking joins in with some gentle bass and drums. A quick blast from a drama brass section and then it's into the song proper, everything that went before in addition to some synths and a smokey sax riff. Drum rolls and more drama brass leads into a huge sounding string filled section, complete with growling brass. A brief bass solo leads into a slightly longer violin melody with odd moments of growling brass. The song continues with variations on these themes but, man, I really...

Review of Book M - Secret Chiefs 3

Awesome Especially Untitled

Advantages: Voice, music, lyrics
Disadvantages: Only 13 Tracks

...D Angelo is the subject of my latest review with his 2000 album Voodoo. For those of you not familiar with D Angelo let me tell you a little about him. He was born Michael D Angelo Eugene Archer on 11th February 1974 in Richmond Virginia. His first album was 1995's Brown Sugar which was critically acclaimed and he became a worldwide hit notably playing a live set on Later with Jools Holland that appears on several DVD's of the show. He is known most notably as a singer and keyboardist/organist but he also plays the bass, guitar and drums. He has also done some work as an producer for various performers in the Urban genres and has collaborated with the likes of Lauryn Hill on the fabulous "Nothing even matters" After working on several different projects it wasn't until Five years later that he released his second album which is...

Review of Voodoo [PA] - D'Angelo

Los Angelos

Advantages: Sunny
Disadvantages: The Smog

...One of the first things you notice when driving around Los Angelos is the brownish tinge in the air from all the pollution. This city is surrounded by rather undramatic mountains and although next to the coast on one side, pollution gets trapped over the city due to prevailing weather conditions. You are likely to experience many traffic jams whilst here and quite abit of frustration. The original Disneyland is in the area and certainly worth a visit as is Universal Studios. My experience of the beaches was NOT as glamorous as Baywatch, the sand is great but the oil rigs just off the coast and the proximity to city don't make for the best beach experience. There is certainly plenty of sunshine which is a definite plus. You may have heard of the series Beverley Hills 90210 - the 90210 part is the zip code for the area - this area...

Review of General: California

An Evolution from Brown Sugar

Advantages: all the things we expect of d'angelo, but darker.. yes a lot of children are going to be conceived to this album
Disadvantages: It doesnt quite live up to Brown Sugar, something that D'angelo is always going to have to live in the shadow of.

...Very rarely does the release of a Soul album attract the attention and anticipation that Voodoo did.. but then this wasnt any old Soul album, this was D'Angelo.. yeah that guy behind the quite simply classic 'Brown Sugar'.. Its hard to believe that 5 years has passed since its released.. and its equally hard to believe that D'Angelo is as young as he is, but how wise he was to take his time over the follow up. Most people would have fallen into that trap of releasing quickly over the hype, repeating a previous formula and no doubt producing overall poorer results. Voodoo is incomparibly different from Brown Sugar.. The title is a good indicator of what is to come.. Where Brown Sugar was smoothily sexy, Voodoo is much darker and somehow seems much sleazier. On first listen, thoughts of 'what the heck' come to mind.. But then you listen...

Review of Voodoo [PA] - D'Angelo

Love alicia, d'angelo and india?you'll love this!

Advantages: soulful, amazingly sexy
Disadvantages: takes a few listens to appreciate it

...This CD definitely grows on you.Her sound is so unique that it takes a few listens to appreciate it, but please do!!!Unlike other big voiced warblers, Tweet's voice is very understated and soulful. When i first bought this CD, i loved all the fast paced tracks, such as Oops, Boogie 2nite (recently covered by Booty Luv, though not nearly as good as Tweet's version!) and Sexual Healing. I wasn't so keen on the slower tracks because, like her voice, they are quite understated and on first listening sound a bit bland. However, since listening to the CD more, it is now these tracks that i love the most!what at first seemed to lack oomph became my perfect relaxing music.It is also extremely sexy, and she doesn't shy away from expressing her sexuality which I like alot. All in all, if you like artists like D'angelo, alicia keys, india arie...

Review of Southern Hummingbird - Tweet

Vodafone sued over brain cancer

Advantages: Highlights a real world claim against a network
Disadvantages: lawsuit hasn't been won yet

...'Vodafone sued over brain cancer' is an article printed in The Times Thursday December 28 2000: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2-59164,00.html Basically it documents the launch of a lawsuit by one of America's most successful lawyers Peter Angelos (who handled the successful claim in damages $4.2 billion from the tobacco industry in Maryland USA) - and Vodafone, the world's largest mobile phones operation who faces possible claims for up to potentially billions of dollars if Mr Angelos is successful. Mr Angelos is seeking compensation and punitive damages for families of mobile phone users who have died from brain tumours. It will be interesting to see how they prove that the tumours were linked to mobile phone usage. This action really brings into the real world the extent of the health issue - in case you think it is...

Review of Vodafone

My Measure on Measure for Measure

Advantages: Thought-provoking with plenty of humour
Disadvantages: I doesn't say what happens next at the end

...In the 400 years since this play was written, many people more qualified than myself have ventured their opinions on it. In the new millennium, there are some who would argue it has lost its relevance, but I am not amongst that number. Besides, it?s a play that?s full of fun. See what you think ?. PLOT SUMMARY (with some minor details deliberately withheld) In the opening scene of Act I we see the main character of the play, the Duke of Vienna, making arrangements for a period of absence. His deputy, Angelo, is to be fully empowered to act on his behalf. The Duke appears unsure of the decision and is wondering how his deputy will perform. Another character, Escalus, thinks that this appointment is well made. Angelo is initially hesitant and protests that he is not ready for the responsibility, but he is quickly silenced by...

Review of Measure for Measure - William Shakespeare

One of Shakespheres best

Advantages: Great plot
Disadvantages: None

.... Notable recent productions of Measure for Measure are Peter Brook's 1950 staging at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre with John Gielgud as Angelo, Charles Laughton as Angelo at the Old Vic Theatre in 1933, and a 1976 New York Shakespeare Festival production featuring Meryl Streep as Isabella and John Cazale as Angelo.

Isabella does not approve of her brother's actions, but she pleads for his life out of loyalty and sisterly devotion. It could be noted that many of her decisions during the play go against the morality...
