Louise Brooks 3 reviews
Timelock
Passport Jazz German, 1994
Good place to leaern their music
+ NIce Compilation With Very Few Vocals
+ A selection of previous songs with four new one
This is the first album I have from this remarkable Hungarian progressive rock band. Almost Pure Instrumental represents their best selection (and remastered!) from their early albums. As you hear them you can feel ELP and King Crimson's influences. Of course East European classical music too. My ...

More News for Lulu 1 review
John Zorn
Hat Hut, 1995
A superb recording that needs some sonic help.
In the 1980s, John Zorn recorded a number of projects as tributes to some of his favorite musicians-- "Voodoo" as part of the Sonny Clark Memorial Quartet, his Ennio Morricone tribute "The Big Gundown", aggressive takes on Ornette Coleman on "Spy vs. Spy" and the News for Lulu project. Consisting ...

Louise Brooks, Georges Charlia
Kino Video, 2006
Louise Brooks makes this movie alone worth watching!
+ Movie Making at it's Best
+ The Beauty Prize
Although Louise Brooks is dubbed in this movie, it doesn't matter too much as the movie is essentially silent in itself. (Besides Edith Piaf dubs for her singing and I have no problem with that.) The story is simple. Louise Brooks has a jealous boyfriend, whose anger only increases when she ...

Prog-pop at its finest.
+ Forgotten Gem
This was my third H-era album I have listened too. This is after Marbles and Season's End which are both top-notch albums. I was a little suprised with the sound of this album. A lot of quasi-blues, quasi-funk songs which hint slightly more toward their sound they have achieved on marbles rather ...

Asv Living Era, 1993
Perhaps the best oldies compilation
As opposite of Austrian "Document" label that offers "collected work" of ancient artists - frankly,interesting but a bit much - British ASV is specialised in compilation of 1920 and 1930's music in a much "digestible" way.This wonderful compilation,with 79 minutes of music is a great introduction ...

Pandora's Box32 reviews
Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner
Moviegraphs Inc., 2000
The Original Big Screen Femme Fatale
+ Fantastic!
+ coming to DVD in America
Louise Brooks' performance in Pandora's Box is magnetically seductive. It blends predatory sexuality with infuriating naivety. Generations of femme fatales owe their dark magic to Lulu as embodied by Louise. The story is almost mythic: men destroyed by their lust for a fickle vixen who, in the ...
