Another classic album from Eleven

good

One of my favorite bands you've never heard of. I saw Eleven open for Soundgarden in summer of '94 and was floored. I quickly got my hands on a copy of their then-current, self-titled second album and fell in love. The guitars were loud and fuzzy, but the musical sophistication of this band -- not only compositional prowess but sheer chops --- stood well above the fray in the slacker 90's.Led by the husband/wife duo of Alain Johannes (guitars and lead vocals) and Natasha Shneider (keyboards and lead vocals), Eleven's primary calling card is a pair of extraordinary voices, both of which are capable of growling, raw intensity and soulful understatement.If Johanssens's formidable and totally distinctive six-string skills -- which employ a supersaturated, slippery legato and rich chord voicings -- are impressive, his wife's instrumental duties -- which include not only providing the lush textural and chordal keyboard parts with her right hand, but also all of the basslines with her left, may be even more amazing. Meanwhile, no-nonsense skinsman (and former Red Hot Chili Pepper) Jack Irons lays his grooves right in the pocket, adding a foursquare rock swagger to the proceedings.This album rocks hard, stadium-style, but is intercut with enough dynamic and tonal variety to make it a riveting start-to-finish listen. Eleven's music is also injected with loads of tasty exotic influences that make for endless unpredictable melodic twists and turns. I can't say enough about this album or this band. I've got all their records but this one's still my fave.One day in NYC, I was walking in the West Village with a friend and we ran into Johannes and Natasha in the street. They were so cool! They stopped to chat for awhile and I told them what a big fan I was of the band. They were in town with Soundgarden, who were taping a Saturday Night Live performance that night. Incidentally, Johannes and Natasha are also the duo responsible for producing and playing most of the instruments on Chris Cornell's solo album, and they were in the touring version of Queens of the Stone Age. Such talented people.Rest In Peace Natasha. You are missed.Other Eleven records I recommend: Avantgardedog and Howling Book.

There is nothing like this album. From start to finish it floors me. I bought it in jan 93 and still listen to it on a regular basis. The organ and guitar mixture with irons drums is magic.

I think all the songs are great, if you notice when he isnt singing on the other songs the guitar is much more involved its good to hear that theres still a few original artists out there.

Musik top; CD-Hülle extrem kaputt, Preis 'hoch'

Arrivato in perfette condizioni (nonostante sia di seconda mano) e prima del previsto. Finalmente mi sono tolto la curiosità di ascoltarlo e ne è valsa la pena.

Excellent album

Der Grunge-Geheimtipp. Die Sängerin (Natasha Schneider) ist leider mittlerweile verstorben. Neben Ascension von Stella-US das vielleicht am meisten unterschätzte Grunge-Album überhaupt.Allen anderen Grunge Epigonen war Eleven Lichtjahre voraus.
