Voices Carry

Amazon.com
Cross the hiccuping mannerisms of the Cars' Ric Ocasek with the edgy style of the B-52s' Cindy Wilson and you've got the vocal sound of Aimee Mann, the bass-playing, silver-maned leader of 'Til Tuesday. Winner of a Boston Battle of the Bands in 1984 that led to a recording contract, this post-new-wave quartet specialized in moody music that crept under your skin--no more so than on the title track of the '85 debut, the literate ("In the dark, I like to read his mind") Top 20 hit "Voices Carry." Nothing here quite matches that song's murky intensity, but the almost equally claustrophobic, aptly titled "Love in a Vacuum" comes close. --Billy Altman

aimee mann's breakthrough, but much more than this.............2006-03-17

yes, voices carry is on here, the gigantic hit single she
wrote which played round the clock on radio AND M.T.V.
but aimee mann is SO MUCH MORE than a 1 hit wonder from this
group.
buy all her solo cd's and you shall see the mesmerizing
talented gift she'll give back to you.
nothing more than amazingly stunning as an artist in her
own right.
as for this cd, it's.....o.k., i guess. not very good.
til tuesday's 3rd final cd, EVERYTHING'S DIFFERENT NOW, is
the real keeper!!
winning the war AND are you serious are my faves from the
voices carry cd. other than that, you can dispose of it.

A hint of what might have been.......2006-01-07

I was a Boston College student in the 80's, and happened to have a friend who did lighting for a number of bands who played the local club scene. Thanks to my friend's "Guest List" privileges I saw a lot of live music in those days. A band he worked for had recorded a demo titled "Love in a Vacuum" that became the most requested song of the year at local Boston rock radio institution WBCN which in those days was number one in the ratings.

The same radio station staged an infamous "Rock and Roll Rumble" battle of local bands each year, and it was no surprise when this same band, 'Til Tuesday walked away with the championship, and created huge local buzz when the local music press picked up on the fact that the band had been signed after a bidding war, to Epic records. I think I probably saw 'Til Tuesday play in small clubs six or more times during that period, and I came to know many of the songs that would eventually be recorded for the first album. Aimee Mann of course, looked like a born star, tall and almost always dressed in black, with her spikey bleached white coif and signature eighties braided rat tail. It seemed for a while she was everywhere, appearing in advertising campaigns in the local paper, and her poster in the window of some hipper than thou Newbury street hair salon of the day. The rest of the band were all very good looking people including her boyfriend of the time, Drummer Michael Hausman, Guitarist Robert Holmes with his mop of Red curls, and keyboardist Joey Pesce who looked like he was slumming from his day job as a GQ model. It simply seemed at the time, that this band was destined to be huge. Their shows were very polished in a time when most of what was going on in the local music scene was more about revisiting punk and ska, and it seemed at each show the crowds got bigger and bigger.

The first thing to get out of the way, is that the album really isn't representative of what 'Til Tuesday sounded like live in those days. I still have a radio station cart of their Love in a Vacuum demo, and if the song had been anything like the demo, I think it would have been a huge hit. Needless to say, it wasn't.

Unfortunately this album sounds to me like it was recorded in one take inside a steel box, with the echo turned up too high. Anything that wasn't high pitched and full of reverb seems to get lost in the mix, and Pesce's pallete of keyboard textures seemed to have either been mixed to the back, removed entirely, or reduced to a bad casio cliche.

Aimee played base in those days, and as the front person and singer, had a nice smooth and sometimes funky base sound that worked well with Hausman's precise authoritative drumming. You'd never know it from this album, but people filled the dance floor at 'Til Tuesday shows. The album sounds like everything was plugged right into the mixing console and tweaked electronically into some alien version of what it should have been.

Holmes' chorus and delay laden guitar playing certainly gave the band its distinctive sound, and survived the recording process relatively in tact. Anyone who saw them in those days would have undoubtably noted that a big part of the 'Til Tuesday sound was his high tenor voice that harmonized so well with Mann. Those harmonies sometimes aided by the other band members were a big part of what really made the band stand out live. Did Holmes sing on the album? I think so, but it's hard to tell.

I believe time and a robust solo career has proven that Aimee's voice is much better than the way it sounds on many of these tracks (and the way she sounded live), even if the band did end up with a major radio hit with "Voices Carry" -- probably as much due to the heavy rotation the excellent video deservedly received from MTV. It's somewhat telling that there was no follow up to that hit, and that songs which stood out live, like "Looking over my shoulder", and the ultra ballad, "You know the Rest" barely register on the album. Although it was hard to admit it to myself at the time, I was really disappointed for the band. 'Til Tuesday toured with Hall and Oates, continued to write songs, Mann and Hausman broke up, and Aimee's songwriting began to change. The band rebounded nicely with their second album "Welcome Home" which is much more reflective of what 'Til Tuesday was really like in its heyday, but radio wasn't particularly receptive. I dragged my friends out to a concert which reaffirmed my belief in them as a great live act, but it seemed obvious at the time that 'Til Tuesday had jumped the Shark. After a 3rd album, which seemed more like a Mann solo project, 'Til Tuesday broke up like so many other bands of the same time period, and without much notice.

I remember seeing Amiee at a show for local boston band The Buddy System some years later, at local Boston institution, The Rat. She stood in the middle of the beer stained floor swaying to the music with the rest of the assembled crowd, largely unnoticed. I remember thinking at the time, how her star had seemed to rise and fall much too soon, and that to be honest, she seemed a little out of it.

In hindsight, it's now pretty obvious that the friends she was out supporting were part of where she was going in act 2 of her career. Connect Buddy Judge (Namesake of the band performing that night) to his future band The Grays, and band mate Jon Brion, and connect the dots. Although 'Til Tuesday seemed quite a bit about Fashion, image and hype, as it turns out, Mann was the really a singer-songwriter, Joan Baez hippy chick, under all the hair, makeup, and pre-emo costuming. It might be my memory playing tricks on me, but I've convinced myself that Brion played a set of solo material at the same show. Whatever really occurred, I realized that night that Aimee was just as much a music fan as myself, and that music and songs were a really important part of her life.

I moved out to Los Angeles that year, and forgot about 'Til Tuesday, until I happened upon Mann's first solo album. I found out she was playing a show at a local club and dragged my girlfriend out to it, and was once again floored by her striking looks, distinctive voice, and songwriting ability.

I still look back on "Voices Carry" fondly, but see it much more as part of Mann's catalog now, a part that doesn't seem to fit too well with her singer-songwriter phase. I don't know if she ever plays any of her old 'Til Tuesday material anymore, or if she considers it an embarassment. While I think the songs on this album stand up, the album is really a pale imitation of what 'Til Tuesday was capable of, and although the best known of their catalog, a distant second in quality to "Welcome Home."

The Voice That Carries..........2005-09-20

Can anyone else on the planet even come close to sounding as wonderful? This girl has a voice Opera Stars would kill for. It's Clear, it's Strong, it's crisp. It's the kind of music You want to go WOW to and Hey it's ok I'm in Love, I'm allowed to feel. Til Tuesday has 3 great CD's... however our little STAR GIRL has went on to record 4 more CD's with out the band. Is she everything and more...YES. However the Til Tuesday style of music faded with the Band. Her newer CD's just don't have that Flair and Zing that makes the Heart Burst into a Flood of Emotions.

Whole cd is listenable and no song is boring.......2005-06-19

This cd is by far my most favorite to listen to. The songs are mostly about Aimee Mann (lead singer and writer) and her boyfriend who was also in the band, they describe ralationships and love. This cd is the best out of all Til Tuesday cd's. This band should get recognition for this cd, its much better than today's music. Aimee Mann rocks!!

One Of The Most Underrated Bands Of The 80's.......2003-11-11

For those of you looking to start collecting Til Tuesday's CDs, I recommend you get this one first. Very rarely do I come across a CD where I love every song on it, but here is one of them. I just have to say, I'm annoyed how most of the artists that go solo and change their sound in the 90's always make this dramatic deal about forgetting where they came from. Aimee Mann is one of those artists and I can't understand why. Personally, I don't like her solo work (I don't dig accoustic music anyway). 'Til Tuesday was an awesome band that cranked out some of the best New Wave and Synth Pop music. This particular album could actually be considered Gothic Pop because of its dark, cold nature. This is one of my all-time favourite albums, with my favorite songs being: "Love In A Vacuum", "I Could Get Used To This", and "No More Crying". I wish the single version of "Love In A Vacuum" was available. It has much better instrumentation, and the vocals come out more. If you ever get a chance to see the music video, they use that mix. Crank it up and listen to the difference! 'TIL TUESDAY RULES!!!

Album Description

Mike Thorne retired from commercial record production four years ago, having delivered many innovative and successful recordings, from Tainted Love to Voices Carry. Sprawl, his own first album, features huge vocal arrangements contributed by Kit Hain, Sarah Jane Morris, Lene Lovich and the three-woman downtown New York group BETTY. The instrumental sound centers on keyboards from Mike Thorne, intense and unusual horn arrangements powered by the Uptown Horns, and raucous drums from Allan Schwartzberg. The result is a sound heard nowhere else. Tracks include two unrecorded Marianne Faithfull songs(from her rock+roll period), Pretty Vacant (the Sex Pistols, 1976) and an exclusive translation of Le Ballet (originally a seductive French language song from Cline Dion).

Absolutely Ravishing.......2006-02-15

This is one of about ten CDs (out of over one thousand) that, if forced to choose, would take with me to that perverbial desert island. Only Rosa Ponselle had a voice that could match Eleanor Steber in her prime for sheer beauty of tone and security of line. From standard coloratura fare to beloved chestnuts, this album could be an aural definition for the word "beauty."

Volume I is not enough.......2004-03-28

It is a welcome development that more and more of Eleanor Steber's work from 1940-1960 is being reissued. She was the greatest American soprano in her prime and too few of her complete opera performances were recorded. People who listen to this collection are amazed, because opera lovers of today associate Steber with her voice of the 1970s instead of the glorious instrument heard on this disc. Dead-on Rossini and Thomas coloratura? Sensual Massenet? Thrilling Puccini with breath control to spare? It's all on this recording and I urge VAI and the owners of the original source material to put together volume 2 so we can rediscover more of this treasure.

A great American soprano in her early prime.......2001-04-12

Eleanor Steber's tale is at once inspirational and cautionary. It is inspirational for her success as a home-grown and trained talent, a New England girl who became a leading artist at the Metropolitan Opera, possessing one of the most beautiful soprano voices of the twentieth century. Later she became a distinguished teacher of voice. It is cautionary for her frustrations with autocratic Met manager Rudolf Bing and the vocal difficulties of her later career, exacerbated by alcohol and relationships with unworthy men.

Happily, none of the darker side of Steber's life is vocally evident in this collection of recordings dating from her early years. Some of the earliest recordings, notably the Debussy, are substandard in sound, and some discomfort at the top is evident, a whitening and sharpening on sustained high notes. Whether this is due to a still-developing vocal technique or to the vagaries of recording technology is not clear. The Traviata excerpts are well-sung, but lack the Italianate tang and dramatic intensity of the great interpreters of the role. Any small reservations the listener may have, though, are completely vanquished by the later tracks, which reveal the familiar lustrous, seamless sound generously applied to Italian and French operatic repertoire, oratorio, and popular standards. Steber sings everything with emotional urgency, and reveals a surprising command of florid technique in the Rossini and Thomas arias. Her "Signore, ascolta," sung in English, justly draws an ovation from the live audience for its perfectly placed, long-sustained concluding B-flat--perhaps only Montserrat Caballe has equalled or surpassed Steber's rendition of this phrase. Her traversal of the hoary chestnut "Danny Boy" could draw tears from a statue. All in all, this CD is a great souvenir of a great American voice.

Excellent!.......2006-07-24

The intro and closing pieces to 'A Distant Mirror' (the syndicated program of Medieval, Rennaisance, and early Baroque) both come from this excellent album!

All good recordings-The galliards are played a bit slow
for actual dancing-but the "Un Belle Qu" Pavanne very, very good - as is the Giorgio.

Soundtrack for the Decameron.......2006-01-16

'16th Century Italian & French Dance Music' by the Musica Reservata, directed by Michael Morrow may not be the finest 16th century music you will ever hear, but it has much to offer. The ribald scene on the cover gives you a good sense of the atmosphere you get from this music, especially those pieces which include vocals.

The CD is a combination of material from two earlier vinly LPs, and the material seems to fit together seamlessly. None of the works are by any composers whose names I recognize, so the work may have less than full value as material for studying the period. Given the chance, I would snap up any copy available for a reasonable price and wait a bit if I found nothing below $10.

An excellent recording of a minor musical genre.

A+ Melodic and Rythmic music from the Vault.......1999-12-10

I have played this CD hundreds of times and each time is a pleasure. Although some of the singing requires some getting used to, the Gagliarda and Pavanes (like #15 LA Bataille) are wonderfully rythmic and compelling. Although many Gagliarda are short like # 11 Giorgio (1:01), other beautiful pieces like #4 La traditora are longer (4:57) and have more than one setting. Musica Reservata should be praised for their excellent performances and robust playing. If you close your eyes and relax on a favorite reclining chair or sofa with this CD playing, a crackling fire in the fireplace, and your favorite beverage in a tall mug or glass, you'd swear that you had been transported back to a palace ballroom in France or Italy. A CD well worth the price and a good CD to introduce the period to newcomers.
