The Unison Era

[Davey84]

yeah but then you'd have something like Ricky Martin's albums; 8 new songs, 5 again repeated in Spanish... HAH, IDK, ITWIT, F, JTAE are enough imo

 

I don't think Quebec would have responded well either to more English covers of Incognito ... I think they would have bashed her even more, for using her french hits and trying to make it on the English market with those hits, but then in English!

[Javito]

I KNOW! if they would have looked at Madonna's concerts they could have learn how to update a very old song, and make the crowd go wild for it! I'm not saying I Feel Too much should be played the same, that would be too outdated, but they could have made the music more modern!

 

I can imagine an updated I Feel Too Much or Unison today and they would sound fresh like a TC song

 

Howly cow, you got me crazy these days with the Unison album!! I think I'm going to take it with me for vacations next week!

Me too, I have been playing it non-stop.

I listened to it in my car and at the beginning of 'Unison' I thought; 'Holy.... my car radio can also play base notes!'

 

I like the album because it sounds so different from her later work...I wonder what made them change her style?

[Alex_Incognito]

I didn't mean INCOGNITO EN ANGLAIS in lieu of UNISON----I just wish that was in the vault.

[Black Kitten]

if you have a great sound system in your house, among all her releases, Unison is perfect for loud playing. my dad has a great sound system in his car, and i played Unison yesterday while we're on our way home, and it's perfect!

Well what ya gotta do?? The album is a masterpiece that deserves to be played!

yeah, well .... who knows what's in their vault.... maybe 200 unreleased songs!

Celine doesn't like "Unison" that much actually. She took much, much less instructions from her producers (preferring to rely on her own instincts instead) while recording "Celine Dion" which is naturally her most authentic English album to date.

[Hilda]

i am in LOVE with the celine dion album it is i think my favourite celine album....its just amazing and flowing and it just reminds me of summer! its a really warm album haha.

 

An updated I feel too uch etc would be awsome!!

[D'elles]

LOLITA and Delivre-Moi are my favourites of incognito

[D'elles]

i remember getting Unison on tape when i was about eight years old and i was at gatwick airport

[Hilda]

hehe

[zoea2812]

Lovin both the Celine Dion and Unison albums. Gave them both a listen to today, you forget what little gems are on there.

[Prince Whiskers]

Water From The Moon is one of her most intense ballads vocally and emotionally.

[Black Kitten]

if i'm going to pick my personal favorite from Unison, that would be If We Could Start Over. very 80's, but very relevant during the time of the album's release.

 

on "celine dion", it would be Halfway to Heaven and Nothing Broken But My Heart. i would kill just to hear celine sing these songs live.

[Hilda]

oh my god a men to nothing broken but my heart - its in my top three fav celine songs. haha ive decided! yeh no for me celine dion is listened to alllll the time practically - its always about - more so than lets talk about love, falling into you....actually more than any of her albums i think.

 

 

and half way to heaven is like a cosmic helping of double chocolate fudge cake!!....delicious!!!

even more reason to sing the song her way now

 

Water From The Moon is one of her most intense ballads vocally and emotionally.

 

the pain that came from hiding her relationship with René paid off in the songs

two great live performances

 

 

great now you got me listening to celine dion

[D'elles]

Water From The Moon and Nothing Broken But My Heart are faboulous you should hear the 6Min extended mix of nothing broken but my heart, absolutley fantastic d)

[Davey84]

yeah that one is amazing! I don't think it's a mix though... more the 'demo' cut for the album, and they shortened it in the end, when the album got released

[D'elles]

ohhh so the extended mix is actually a demo then ? intresting

[Davey84]

well that's my guess... since it comes from the album sampler, which is usually released before the album release

[SensationalCeline]

I just got Incognito and I didn't realize that Have a Heart was the same (well same melody) as Partout Je Te Vois. I found that interesting but I still love the Unison album. I love the photoshoot that went with it too.

I prefer the arrangements of the english Have A Heart, they are better worked than the french version, especially Céline's choirs

 

The Unison ps is brilliant, unfortunately they barely used it in the booklet (as always ) but there are many different pictures

 

Have you realized how many thousands of dollars they spent on each album photoshoot and how little they show it?? This costs a lot of money and I'm sure people who have worked for Céline would have liked their work to be shown! (the best example is ANDHC photoshoot, who is almost totally unknown in the album booklet, also Unison as I said, Celine Dion, TCOML... ) Shame!

[Black Kitten]

the funny thing is, the first time i played NBBMH, i really laughed very hard. on the last part of the song, there are parts when i thought the song is about to end, then suddenly celine will scream again and i said to myself "oh my shut up celine and end the song!" bec. i felt that the ending was too long. but nonetheless, i still think it's a masterpiece. i so love it.

 

thanks Davey. i think i saw that performance, but what i meant is i really want to see/hear her sing those songs again now (which i think is quite impossible as she already abandonned Unison and celine dion).

[D'elles]

oh right, yer the album sampler, yer i've seen the album sampler on ebay, quite alot, i much prefer the extended demo of nbbmh

I think that all Celine's songs should be played loudly.

No no no Not for Taking Chances album, or your ears will be seriously damaged after the 3rd song

can't agree with u more.

 

the sound quality of the TC cd is awful (not as poor as LTAL though).

[Hilda]

omg i love the 6 min version of nothing broken as well as the edited version thats on the single. they both have different bits in. I love love love how this song has three versions coz depending on my mood i can switch between hehe. But ive always been a fan of the epic ending of nothing broken but my heart....its amazing i love how chilled it is.

In my case I'm not against the sound, but Céline's vocals. She abused in this album of her high-key notes, she chose many songs in which she could scream her heart out and that's not nice during the whole 70 minutes of a long album. Your head can be crazy at the 6th song and can ask you to stop the music after the high note on That's Just The Woman In Me. But your ears thank you when Skies Of L.A arrive

 

A good album must combine calm and soft songs with others in high-key. It can be ballads, uptempo songs, dance or whatever style, that's indifferent, because we can have a great dance song with splendid soft low-key vocals and a deafening slow song that you can't stand (like New Dawn ).

 

And I would shot a "careful Céline" for her next album, because this is one of the main reasons why many people can't stand Céline: because of the screaming mood. When I started buying her cds people asked me what I was listening and why I liked her that much, and they told me "Céline?. Ah yes, that screaming singer!" And I was like because I didn't see it that way, I didn't understand why they saw her that way, but now I realize. Some of her songs can be annoying for some people just because of her high-key notes. They recognize she has an amazing voice and she is a great singer (they really do!) but they can't understand why she has to scream her heart out that much when its not necessary.

They see her like a singer that is scraming in all the songs, almost all the time (we know its not true because we know her full discography, but people that sees her in the TV or in concerts don't ). And haven't you happened to think sometime, when you are listening a song, "Gosh, how beautiful it would have been if she had sung this line or this verse in a low-key and not that high"?. A high note is 100 times beautiful when its well used in the right place of a song, than using it continuously all the song through.

 

That's why I think ANDHC is one of the best albums of Céline, and in french she has a perfect tracklist in SSDA

[Hilda]

i looooove ssda! OMG i cant agree with a new day has come though. i think thats her most bland and unadventurous album ever in my opinion. But regarding song pace and tone then it is quite varied Edited July 31, 2008 at 11:42 AM by Hilda
