Product Description

Product Description

Formed in 1990, The Corrs are a multi-skilled Irish group comprising three sisters and a brother who each play a variety of modern and traditional instruments. Their second album, Talk On Corners, fuses pop, rock and Irish folk to produce an accessible musical mix. More melancholic but also more streetwise than their first album, three of the tracks on the album have been remixed by some of the most influential dance producers of the late 1990s. Their punchy, remixed cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" appeals equally to teenager clubbers and their parents. Combined with traditional instrumental track such as "Paddy McCarthy" and more dreamy vocal compositions such as "Only When I Sleep" and "Hopelessly Addicted", this album truly provides something for everyone. --John Galilee


From Amazon.com

Having created a worldwide sensation with their albums Forgiven, Not Forgotten and Talk on Corners, Ireland's Corrs await the hit that will break them wide open in America. To that end, the group (who've earned a Rolling Stones openers slot) has issued a retooled version of its sophomore set, featuring five songs recast by some of Europe's hottest mixmasters, including K-Klass ("So Young"), Tin Tin ("What Can I Do?" and "Runaway," the latter song being from the group's debut), and "Dreams" (the Stevie Nicks song, remixed by Todd Terry, who turned Everything but the Girl's "Missing" into a smash). The new mixes for the most part aren't radical departures from the originals but strip away some elements, and add some spit and polish to others. "Dreams" is notable for taking the song even harder toward the dance floor without losing its appealing Celtic edge. The rest of the album is the same as the original version of Talk on Corners minus a few tracks, but still including their lovely version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing." --Daniel Durchholz

5.0 out of 5 stars Tranquillity With A Beat, 10 Jul 2005
By Chris Halfhide (Hertford, England) - See all my reviews
For their second studio album, The Corrs have produced something special. Talk On Corners is a free spirited, dreamy collaboration of songs based around what almost every nineties pop album is about... love.

The album presents us with fifteen superbly written tracks that display stunning vocals from Andrea Corr and superb music from the rest of the band. What Can I Do? is a simple, guitar-backed piece of brilliance, So Young essentially keeps the album upbeat and the Fleetwood Mac cover Dreams proves that the likenesses made between the two bands have not been made in vain. Runaway delivers a melody that will be instantly recognisable for years to come and Queen Of Hollywood is beautifully crafted ballad that sums up all of The Corrs talents.

Andrea Corr sings with lyrics so soothing that they could calm a serial killer on a murderous rampage. Sharon Corr provides the violin, most noticeable in Runaway. Jim Corr is the brains behind the album and music and also is involved in producing the album. Caroline Corr does the drums and well... you can't have a good song without a drum beat. The four siblings collaborate amazingly well together seeing as how most siblings just fight and the album is definitely one of the greatest I have ever heard.

The Irish and Celtic aspects are kept in the album with the use of such instruments as the bodhran and the violin. The beauty of the non-lyrical music is best heard in the instrumental track Paddy McCarthy.

Some critics have said that the album lacks the punch of its predecessor, Forgiven, Not Forgotten and to those critics I have to say "you're wrong". This album is perfect for anyone who likes music ranging from easy listening to classic rock. It provides the middle ground for those two genres, which incidentally is the group I find myself in. It contains lyrically sound pieces with inspiring music; this album is a must have for most real music lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where they're going, not where they've been, 9 Oct 2000
By A Customer
TOC:SE is basically the remix album. It contains the tracks that were commercially successful, and heralded a dangerous change of direction; that perhpas they were going to head towards the big bucks and forget their roots. The remixes are okay if you like that sort of thing, but ultimately this is a little disappointing. It's regardable as an indication of what their later stuff would be like, and In Blue really is a direct continuation from this. Which is a shame, because the original TOC was a phenomenon. However, the basics of TOC are still there; the skeleton around which the other padding was placed, the bones of No Good For Me and Only When I Sleep, and the teen-targeted mess of the mixes. Granted, they stormed the charts (Dreams 6, Runaway 2, What Can I Do? 3, So Young 7) but that isn't what the Corrs are about. If you liked In Blue, this is the album for you. If you liked Talk On Corners, you wouldn't lose much by giving this a miss.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessary remix version - Go for the original, 28 May 2007
By Hiro "Tokyoite" (West Hampstead, London) - See all my reviews

I loved the original version so much so I bought this Remixed version when it came out. What a disappointment. This CD is packed with pointless remixes. Go for the original. Don't make the mistake I made.
