Duncan Sheik

Atlantic / Wea, 1998

Sheik offers sweet, smooth moods
I loved Sheik's debut album. There's something comforting about his watery voice. On his first album, he knocked me out with Barely Breathing and the enchanting She Runs Away, but Sheik offers something different on Humming. I consider this album one of my classics. ...

Brighter: A Duncan Sheik Collection

Duncan Sheik

Rhino / Wea, 2007

An excellent collection
All his great songs on one album. An essential collection for any Duncan Sheik fan or the perfect first album for anyone not familiar with his work. His first self titled album is his best but this album captures that album in addition to the standout tracks from all ...

High Degree of Difficulty
This score makes great listening for people who 1. Are musicians (vocal and instrumental) 2. Didn't even see the show The complexity of the score, the fantastic instrumentation/orchestration and the amazing voices make this a must-have addition to a ...

Phantom Moon

Duncan Sheik

Nonesuch, 2001

Phantom Moon Soars
This is without a doubt the most emotionally affecting new pop album I've heard in many years. Sheik's songwriting has established a new benchmark, and his soulful singing of Sater's exquisite lyrics make for a true classic. Unlike anything else out there. It ...

Duncan Sheik

Duncan Sheik

Atlantic / Wea, 1996

A keen ear for the subject
Some artists dazzle with virtuosity, impress with cleverness, or overwhelm you with profundity. Duncan Sheik's eponymous album does none of these. He has the knack of catching a certain situation or mood, and playing it back to us perfectly. In the chorus to 'Barely ...

Brighter/Later: A Duncan Sheik Anthology

Duncan Sheik

Rhino / Wea, 2006

Buy this anthology and make yo'self a Duncan Freak
This anthology is fantastic. I had been wondering what Duncan Sheik album to get recently, and I was in a local music store, and I saw "Brighter Later" on the new release list. I was curious, because "Bryter Layter" is my favorite Nick Drake album, and when I looked ...

Duncan Sheik

Zoe Records, 2006

mr. sheik is back
I was so excited when duncans self titled album came out. Finally a man that was writing and making beautiful rich music. Barely breathing was my least fav on that record, but the rest were true blue. That album followed with just mediocre ones but satisfied my "duncan ...

Daylight

Duncan Sheik

Atlantic / Wea, 2002

Sweet!
I will admit that I lost interest in Duncan after his first release and did not pick up another of his albums until Daylight. WOW, I'm glad I happened upon his music again. Other reviewers have characterized this album as pop-oriented and dumbed-down to appeal to a ...

Songs from an Unmade Bed

Michael Winther, Duncan Sheik, ...

Ghostlight, 2006

A wonderful recording of a great show
I saw this show at the NYTW, and never dreamed that they would record it- but they did! And the recording is lovely. Michael Winther has such a fabulous voice- so smooth and expressive. Songs not to miss, IMO- "Perfect, Finite", "I Want to Go Out Tonight", "Spring". ...

Reasons for Living

Wishful Thinking

Duncan Sheik

Atlantic / Wea, 1997

FAVORITE SONG EVER
To those who are unfamiliar with Duncan Sheik or only know him for that song back in '96 titled "Barely Breathing," then you are definitely missing out on a great song. Appearing on the soundtrack to the 1998 movie "Great Expectations" (starring Ethan Hawke and ...
