Sinead O'Connor -《Theology》2007 London Sessions[MP3!]

专辑介绍：

我个人听下来，所谓The double-disc 'Theology' ，只是歌曲顺序不同的两个发行地版本——LONDON SESSIONS和DUBLIN SESSIONS。两个版本内，歌曲相同，歌曲顺序不同，LONDON SESSIONS歌曲的品质更高于DUBLIN SESSIONS一些（因发现DUBLIN SESSIONS版本内有相同的歌曲长度较LONDON SESSIONS为短）。故此，个人认为没必要放两个版本，选择了LONDON SESSIONS Disc（224~320kpbsMP3）做源分享给大家，嗯，当然，如果大家想要那个曲目顺序不同的DUBLIN SESSIONS版本的话，我也可以再放上来。

专辑中的单曲I Don't Know How To Love Him，官方已于2007年4月20日放出。

恭维和赞美的话我就不用多说了，因为若我觉得不好，自然就不会放到VC上来，且之前也已经有很多Sinead O'Connor早先的专辑在VC放出，对于Sinead O'Connor有非常详细的介绍，Sinead O'Connor的乐迷不会在乎多或少一些近乎千篇一律的Copy。

故，我只想说的是，假若真心喜欢Sinead O'Connor的音乐，在等待了那么长的一段时间之后，你还要错过吗？

Sinead O'Connor reveals new album details

'Theology' is due out in June

Sinead O'Connor has revealed the details of her forthcoming album.

The double-disc 'Theology' is due out June 26 in the US, and features original songs as well as several covers.

The album includes eight original songs written by O'Connor, as well as covers including Curtis Mayfield's 'We People Who Are Darker Than Blue', Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's 'I Don't Know How To Love' from the musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar', and the reggae spiritual 'Rivers of Babylon' with new lyrics penned by O'Connor.

"'Theology' is an attempt to create a place of peace in a time of war," said O'Connor.

"It is my own personal response to what has taken place and is affecting everyone around the world since and including September 11, 2001. I simply wanted to make a beautiful thing which inspires me," she added.

The album was recorded in two separate sessions in Dublin and London. The first disc features the 'Dublin Sessions' - a minimalist acoustic affair produced by Irish musician Steve Cooney, known for his work with The Chieftains.

The second disc features the 'London Sessions', produced by Ron Tom and featuring a full band including drums, bass, guitar, piano, harp, violins, celli, French horn, flute, backing vocals and percussion. Reggae bass legend Robbie Shakespeare makes an appearance.

Uncompromising Musical Artist Explores Beauty, Love & Essential Truths on New Collection of Original Songs and Covers Recorded in Dublin and London

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 29, 2007 -- Twenty years after the release of her culturally transformative debut solo album, "The Lion and The Cobra," the uncompromising musical artist Sinead O'Connor is releasing "Theology," a new double-CD collection of vital emotionally charged songs, via KOCH Records on Tuesday, June 26.

"Theology" premieres eight new songs written, or cowritten, by Sinead O'Connor: "Something Beautiful," "Out of the Depths," "33," "Dark I Am Yet Lovely," "If You Had A Vineyard," "The Glory of Jah," "Watcher of Men," and "Whomsoever Dwells" as well as three thematically appropriate covers: Curtis Mayfield's soul-searching "We People Who Are Darker Than Blue," a ferocious interpretation of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's "I Don't Know How To Love" (from "Jesus Christ Superstar"), and the traditional reggae spiritual "Rivers of Babylon" with new lyrics written by Sinead.

"'Theology' is an attempt to create a place of peace in a time of war," said Sinead. "It is my own personal response to what has taken place and is affecting everyone around the world since and including September 11, 2001. I simply wanted to make a beautiful thing which inspires me."

Each disc of "Theology" presents Sinead's new songs in different forms. The minimalist acoustic "Dublin Sessions" disc was produced by traditional Irish musician Steve Cooney (In Tua Nua, The Chieftains, Mary Black), who, along with Sinead, plays guitar on the stripped-down recordings. The "Dublin Sessions" were co-produced by Sinead O'Connor & Graham Bolger and feature a "hidden track": Sinead's haunting rendition of "Hosanna Filio David."

The second disc of "Theology," dubbed the "London Sessions," showcases the songs in electrifying full band arrangements produced by Ron Tom. Instrumentation on the "London Sessions" includes drums, bass, guitar, piano, harp, violins, celli, French horn, flute, backing vocals, percussion and programming. Guest artists include reggae bass legend Robbie Shakespeare.

Both icon and iconoclast, Sinead O'Connor has been making music, rejecting stereotypes and defying expectations for more than a quarter century. At the age of 14, she wrote and recorded the debut single for the Dublin-based Irish band In Tua Nua, then left the band because she was too young to tour. In 1987, she wrote, recorded and released "The Lion and The Cobra," which Rolling Stone called "easily one of the most distinctive debut albums of the year," and charted with her first alternative hits "Mandinka," "Troy," and "I Want Your (Hands On Me)."

In 1990, her sophomore album, "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got," peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 while her Prince-penned single, "Nothing Compares 2 U," reached #1 on the Hot 100 and earned her a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance. She would later withdraw her name from Grammy consideration despite multiple nominations. Her groundbreaking video for "Nothing Compares 2 U," featuring Sinead's unforgettable performance in single-shot close-up, took home the Best Video trophy at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, marking the first time a woman had won the Best Video category.

Her clean-shaven head, ferocity of intelligence and intent, dignified persona, and penetrating aesthetic acuity established a new template for women in popular culture. She obliterated objectification and demanded to be taken seriously as an artist.

While her third album, 1992's "Am I Not Your Girl?," presaged the current resurgence of torch songs and standards by nearly a decade, a series of well-documented controversies led to her withdrawal from the music business while continuing to refine her art and pursue her own spiritual path.

In 2002, Sinead released "Sean Nos Nua," a vital reinterpretation of familiar Irish traditional material, which was warmly welcomed by critics and fans alike, and once again illustrated her ability to reinvent herself irrespective of prevailing fads and notions. She followed up in 2003 with "She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide Under the Shadow of the Almighty," a well-selected compendium of B-sides, rarities and covers coupled with a riveting live performance recorded at Dublin's Vicar Street.

Exploring spirituality as interpreted by Jah Rastafari, Sinead decamped to Jamaica in 2005 to record "Throw Down Your Arms," a collection of conscious reggae classics, recorded under the tutelage of Sly & Robbie with some of JA's finest musicians.

With her new album, "Theology," Sinead O'Connor is once again offering the gift and beauty of her music with humility and candor. The album will be released by KOCH Records on Sinead's own label imprint, "That's Why There's Chocolate and Vanilla."

'Theology' is a double album presenting the songs in both stripped down ('Dublin Sessions') and full band ('London Sessions') form. The acoustic disc was produced by noted trad guitarist Steve Cooney with Sinead, the electric disc was produced by London based producer RonTom. As the world at large deals with the uncertainties and tribulations of this still new Twenty ?first century, 'Theology' seeks not to offer immediate answers or a universal panacea; but instead provokes timely and thoughtful questions from an artist who is still pushing herself and inviting her audience to come with her.
Sinead says: "I wanted to create a place of peace in a time of strife and conflict. 'Theology' is my own personal response to the times we find ourselves living in".
