The Future - Leonard Cohen

Image posted by karj

"The Future" is one of the most popular Leonard Cohen albums, and has come to be recognized as his essential "film-score" album. Nearly every one of the songs on the album has appeared in some notable form in a Hollywood film.

Widely recognized as one of Cohen's more accessible albums, "The Future" contains everything from gospel-choir choruses (title track) to synthesizer ballads ("Waiting for the Miracle"), to pop-country ("Closing Time"), to marching band, staccato-like rhythms ("Democracy"). "Democracy" admittedly influenced the opening track of HBO's The Sopranos, "Woke up This Morning", written and performed by A3. ( Edited by Schligge)
