Songs From A Room (1969) Somehow even darker and more melancholy than Songs of Leonard Cohen, Songs From a Room is an emotionally claustrophobic set produced with austere beauty by Bob Johnston. The arrangements are eerily spare, heightening the impact of Cohen's weary vocals; the intermittent and idiosyncratic appearance of a Jew's harp only adds to the record's overwhelming sense of disorientation. While not as uniformly strong as its predecessor, Songs From a Room does contain a number of Cohen's finest compositions, including "Bird on the Wire," "Lady Midnight" and "Story of Isaac".

Various Position (1984) Recorded with vocalist Jennifer Warnes (who later cut the album Famous Blue Raincoat, a collection of Cohen compositions), Various Positions is a stunning return to form - Cohen's strongest work since New Skin for the Old Ceremony. Cryptic and spartan, the set continues in the eclectic vein of recent efforts, but with greater clarity and focus, resulting in a intriguingly diffuse collection ranging from the Serge Gainsbourg-esque pop of "Dance Me to the End of Love" to the boozy, country-inflected "The Captain". Mit vocalist, Jennifer Warnes (who later cut the LP Famous Blue Raincoat, a collection of Cohen compositions) Various Positions notiert eine Betäubenrückkehr zum Formular - Cohen's stärkste Arbeit seit dem New Skin for the Old Ceremony . Mysteriös und spartanisch, fährt der Satz in der eklektischen Ader der neuen Bemühungen, aber mit grösserer Klarheit und Fokus fort, und das hat zur Folge, daß eine intriguingly verbreitete Ansammlung vom Knall Serge Gainsbourg-esque bis zu "Dance Me to the End of Love" vom boozy, Land-gebeugt reicht "The Captain". I'm Your Man (1988) A stunningly sophisticated leap into modern musical textures, I'm Your Man re-establishes Leonard Cohen's mastery. Against a backdrop of keyboards and propulsive rhythms, Cohen surveys the global landscape with a precise, unflinching eye: the opening "First We Take Manhattan" is an ominous fantasy of commercial success bundled in crypto-fascist imagery, while the remarkable "Everybody Knows" is a cynical catalog of the landmines littering the surface of love in the age of AIDS. Ein stunningly hoch entwickelter Sprung in moderne musikalische Beschaffenheiten, I'm Your Man stellt Leonard Cohen's Beherrschung wieder her. Gegen einen Hintergrund der Tastaturen und der treibenden Rhythmen, Cohen Übersichten die globale Landschaft mit einem exakten, unflinching Auge: die Öffnung "First We Take Manhattan" ist eine ominöse Phantasie des kommerziellen Erfolges zusammengerollt in den Schlüssel-faschistischen Bildern, während das bemerkenswerte "Everybody Knows" ein zynischer Katalog der landmines ist, welche die Oberfläche der Liebe im Alter von verunreinigen AIDS.
