Never underestimate Madonna's power of persuasion: By nearly all critical accounts, Ray of Light, Madonna's first album of new material since 1994's Bedtime Stories, and her first since motherhood, is her richest, most accomplished record yet. While Ray of Light is being tagged as Madonna's big leap into electronica, it's important to note two things: First, her music has always had close ties to dance culture, and, second, her collaborator William Orbit is no Chemical Brother. Though it has all the latest blips, bleeps, and crackles electronica has to offer, Ray of Light is still largely an adult album, completely within Madonna's realm. Still, Orbit's tasteful sonic constructions provide Madonna with her most adventurous, hippest musical backdrop ever. What's more, the arrangements and production are understated enough to highlight an even bigger development: Fresh from singing lessons on the Evita set, Madonna's vocal range, depth, and clarity have never been stronger. But larger pipes don't necessarily make for deeper, truer music. Never a master lyricist, Madonna's words have worked best when they've practically been slogans ("Vogue," "Express Yourself"). This time she goes for more emotional depth, and even tries her hand at ethno-techno-mysticism ("Shanti/Ashtangi"). She largely stumbles, however. The tone conveyed on songs like "Nothing Really Matters" is a self-centered pat on the back that belies her claim to a newfound altruism. It's enough to make you wonder, now that Madonna's given up being our material girl, if maybe she's set her sights on becoming the center of our spiritual world too. --Roni Sarig

This is definitely one of Madonna's best albums. After a four-year hiatus from releasing a studio album and giving birth to her daughter, Madonna comes back with more great music. This heavily electronica influenced album is a great mixture of upbeat dance tunes and smooth ballads. Out of all her albums, her voice sounds the best on this one.

This is a true classic Madonna album that highlights many unique spiritual and moving emotions never before conveyed on any other album--Ray of Light Fashion! There are songs that reach the depths of your soul in ways no other artist can dare compete as they are Madonna's unique life experiences! The beauty of this overall listening is how each song takes you on a journey of highs and lows yet all bring much peace, joy, and even uplifting dance moods! The co-producer William Orbit definitely infused ... Read More

There are more than a few sublime moments on this album and it was hard for me to beleive the style and lyrical stance on this album were coming from Madonna when I first heard it. Wow, this one gave me a new respect for her, not that I was ever an 80s Madonna fan. But really, this is a nice album and you just get the feeling that the artist is being true to her time in life, and has broadened - there's a more spiritual vibe (not preachy or over-done as the Amazon review seems to imply, but subtly ...

Ray of light is a powerful excursion into a cosmic world of amazing depth. William Orbit is a genius. Madonna has never sounded better. The songs are very spiritual and playful. This album represents two artists at top of their game. Madonna and william Orbit are a great combination. I hope they do another album together. Ray of light is HIGHLY reccommended!!!

The "Mother Of Reinvention" reinvented herself noticeably for this album, but unfortunately it just doesn't work in this case. Not that it's completely worthless (the title track, the beautiful "The Power Of Goodbye" and "Little Star" are worth hearing), but this overlong album is largely uncharacteristic for Madonna, lacking the all-out feelgoodness of her 1st 2 albums and the robust maturity of ones like "True Blue" and "Like A Prayer." Her average singing ability is not at its best here, much of the ... Read More

Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12

tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.

lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
