K's Choice K's Choice
I'm not a fan of Sarah and Gert Bettens and their band, so this is practically wasted on me. A few excerpts of the then new album Cocoon Crash, live and video version of I'm Not an Addict and another live song.
Kajagoogoo Okay, yes, I was a teenager once, and I bought teenager music. Or schoolgirl music, whatever you want. Too Shy is still bearable, but that's it.
Too Shy is still bearable, but Ooh to Be Ah isn't. Say no more.
Paul Kelly When I first heard the stories about Paul Kelly, I thought he would sort of be an Australian Bruce Springsteen, a hunk with a grating voice. So this album came as a surprise: lots of popsongs, echos of Bob Dylan sometimes, a voice which vaguely reminds me of Roddy Frame... Highlights on this compilation are Leaps and Bounds and Everything's Turning to White.
Kemopetrol Album from an obscure Finnish band... not bad, but not really impressive. Nice popsongs, the female singer's got a good voice but nothing that stands out really.
The Kinks One of the first albums I ever got, birthday present from my brother-in-law. A double live album with lots of hits, but also a few less well-known songs. Great versions of Lola, Where Have All the Good Times Gone, Hardway and You Really Got Me.
Lenny Kravitz Amazing debut album from Beautiful Young God and jack-of-all-trades Lenny Kravitz, who 'performs all lead and background vocals, guitar, bass, drums, organ, and percussion' and moreover also produced the album. Still the albums sounds incredibly tight, with a very sixty-ish, psychedelic sound. Favourites have been and still are I Build This Garden for Us, Let Love Rule, Rosemary and Sittin' on the Top of the World. I've heard Mr. Cab Driver too often and can't stand it anymore.
De Kreuners Probably the best album of Belgian band de Kreuners (the Moaners) led by showman and party-animal Walter Grootaers. Produced by Belgian icon Jean-Marie Aerts (TC Matic), this album sounds very powerful. Layla is a killer song about Grootaers' daughter, Cous-cous kreten a song about immigrants with vocals provided by Sabah, Beest a very bitter song about Grootaers' ex-wife. After this album, de Kreuners stagnate.
Ed Kuepper This solo debut of the former (founding) member of the legendary Aussie punk band The Saints and the experimental Laughing Clowns sounds far more poppy and straightforward than his previous work. Kuepper's warm and special voice and his guitarwork are outstanding. Headlights are Car Headlights and Palace of Sin.
