Emma's album didn't do too well either side of the Atlantic.

I know Robbie Williams isn't with 19, but it will be interesting to see how his next album does, after a badly received one and a

long absence. I see he is appearing with Take That in their Xmas show, being recorded this week with a studio audience. Looks

as if he may be courting publicity again, ready to re--appear in the music field. At least he has a large fan club to support him.

He needs to gedt the quality of his older songs back.

He produced better songs when he was in partnership with Guy Chambers.

I did prefer thosae ones

Nostalgia or what?

 

Thanks for uploading these, Nakull.

Thanks Baytree and Nakull, it was lovely listening to those,love tear run dry. So wish they had a wider audience.

I wish Darius had taken TRD to full production as an album track. IMHO it meshes perfectly with the themes of Dive In.

It was lovely listening to those. Is it possible to download them? Sue

That made me feel better. What a lovely find.

lovely, TRD is still a favourite,

Can anyone recall which song(s) this producer - Jon Cohen - worked with Darius on?

 

 

I have no idea.

I've mislaid the boxes of my albums - all the details about production was on the box not in the booklet.

 

I'm almost 100% certain it wasn't a Dive In one.

He may have worked on one and not been credited.

A bit about john cohen. He is arguably the uks leading producer of crossover music.

 

When not producing classical music, Jon is a prolific songwriter and collaborates with many of the industry's top writers. He has had songs recorded by The Backstreet Boys, Darius, Triple 8 and many others. Jon has also written music for a number of Films including Against Nature(2004) and the multi award winning Holes In My Shoes.

 

He has done a lot more connected to the sevices like he is at present doing in iraq. This is probably quite wrong but didnt Darius feature in a War child album early in his career.

Yes he sang Pretty Flamingo

Well done, Spam and Preston. I love that version of 'Pretty Flamingo'

Saw Flashdance last night. Surfice to say I wouldnt like D to do it. A lot appeared to be on tape especially some of th chorus work. The background is very sombre - a steelworks - very loud and the leading lady was replaced by an understudy whose voice I couldnt stand, it was very much wa wa like donald duck and jarred my ears. Noel sullivan from Hearsay had a reasonable voice but only one song and just a lot of standing around. In spite of that he got the best response at the end. My local critic who I usually go by said he was outstanding whic h to me was a joke as he didnt have much to do. The dancing was strong if you like hip hop- lots of arm waving and break dancing but not much footwork. The one song that was strong was what a feeling. I have to say yet again that my fair lady and oliver done by the amateurs was far far superior in talent.Thats the second show on tour for me that didnt cut the mustard. However Shout starring Sue pollard I enjoyed mainly because she is capable of carrying a show on her own and has a huge singing voice.

She's done well hasn't she. My Mum used to watch 'Hidy Hi' or whatever it was called. Not my cup of tea and she was the worst part for me. I suppose it coloured my perception of her. Since then she has shown she's far more than was apparant in that Tv series.
