Kolejna autorska produkcja Daniela Lanois, współpracownika Boba Dylana, Petera Gabriela, Briana Eno i U2.
"Belladonna" w przeciwieństwie do jego poprzednich płyt, jak "Shine" czy "Rockets" jest w pełni instrumentalnym albumem. Na tej pełnej emocji i napięcia płycie dominuje pedal steel guitar Daniela, której towarzyszą Brad Mehldau i Brian Blade - jazzowi giganci.
Laonis kontynuuje podróż swoją mroczną, eksperymentalną ścieżką brzmieniową, to niejako synteza najlepszych elementów jego różnych projektów. Rezultatem tego spotkania jest trzynaście niezwykle poruszających utworów. Gęste muzyczne faktury przechodzą w śpiewne melodie pogranicza Tex-Mex, tworząc doskonały muzyczny portret niepokojąco pięknych pejzaży amerykańskiego Południowego Zachodu.
Zdumiewa spójność narracji i surowe brzmienie całości. "Belladonna" kieruje nas w stronę czułej kontemplacji, jest pełna wdzięku, nostalgii, nie popadając przy tym w żadną nadmierność. Daniel Lanois zdecydowanie w formie!

For over 20 years, Daniel Lanois has been creating some of the most influential, awe-inspiring, and colorful work popular culture has heard. From his apprenticeship with Brian Eno (Ambient 2:The Plateaux of Mirror and Ambient 4:On Land) to his production work with U2, Marianne Faithful, and Willie Nelson, Lanois has earned his place in the music history books.
Belladonna is his second album for Anti, and by far his best work since the days with Eno. On Belladonna, Lanois sets out to conjure up images and challenge your imagination. Following his belief that “Instrumental music speaks louder than words,” he wordlessly leads listeners through lush atmospherics from his pedal steel guitar, overdubs of static, piano passages, and occasional beats from jazz drummer Brian Blade.
Lanois leaves his music wide open, as vast as a Sergio Leone landscape and as dazzling as a solo flight over the Atlantic Ocean. The sheer imagination of Daniel Lanois‘s work is endless, and he creates music for any scenario, any mood. He creates otherworldly landscapes like no other musician today.
Close your eyes and imagine a Mexican desert, where the Friends of Dean Martinez tell Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass to perform Brian Eno’s “Music for Films.” But it’s best that you buy this album, one of 2005’s best releases to date, and conjure up your own images.

Daniel Lanois is doing something truly different in the world of music. His style doesn't really fit in with any genre that can be found at the local music store. Some may call it cosmic, folk, ambient, rock, spiritual, or soul... but the truth is that it is a combination of all these things. He's been heralded as one of the most brilliant producers around, and many musicians have benefited from the alchemic presence of this studio wizard and sonic explorer.
Belladonna is Lanois' latest solo effort, but unlike Shine (or Rockets), he delivers a full instrumental album. In a way the recording continues the dark experimental streak of its predecessors, and it seems he has taken many of the best elements from his various projects and combined them into an unusual mixture, but the result is emotionally deep, intellectually stimulating, and insistently forward-looking music.
These thirteen immensely moving pieces are full of sounds and atmospheres that make listening to Lanois an imaginative, spiritual, and exciting experience. Many guest musicians drop by to lend their talents on various numbers, but even though it involves highly skilled performers, the accent of Belladonna is devoted to producing moments of stunning aesthetic beauty.
"Two Worlds" sets the tone for much of what will follow, with distorted guitars and atmospherics that come into play to create an organized piece of chaotic noise. By using the studio as an instrument, Lanois manages to produce maximum effects with minimum assets. The sense of dynamics often varies from track to track, but his economical use of silence and the blending of somber and lighter tones is masterful, thus producing soundscapes with emotional depth that arouse the deepest of emotions.
There are too many highlights on this album to mention, but the real treat is Lanois' musings on the pedal steel. Tracks like "Desert Rose" and "Carla" find him meditating over his instrument, drifting into nostalgia and the world of the sublime. But on tracks like "Agave," which brings sounds of a Mexican orchestra playing around the corner, and "Frozen," with its dub/reggae melodies, he seems to be having fun.
The cohesiveness of the music is noteworthy, as is the state of rawness in which Lanois leaves his tracks. They are all precious stones left unrefined and unpolished. In general, Lanois' work is characterized by a dramatic subtlety that is more about mood than melody. Belladonna is contemplative, graceful, nostalgic, spiritual, and tender without becoming excessive. A very intruiging and beautiful work.
