	Splendid isolation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Splendid Isolation is the foreign policy pursued by Britain during the late 19th century, under the premierships of Benjamin Disraeli and The Marquess of Salisbury.
		The policy of Splendid Isolation was characterised by a reluctance to enter into permanent European alliances or commitments with the other Great Powers and by an increase in the importance given to British colonies, protectorates and dependencies overseas.
		It could be claimed that Britain was not isolated during this period due to the fact that it still traded with other European powers and remained heavily connected with the Empire.

	CD Baby: SAM MOORE: Splendid Isolation
		Splendid Isolation, by England's own Sam Moore, is a mixture of Neo-soul, with a touch of jazz, and a hint of R&B which creates a signature sound that uplifts your soul and keeps you vibin' in His presence.
		Splendid Isolation, a mixture of Neo-soul, with a touch of jazz, and a hint of R&B creates a signature sound that uplifts your soul and keeps you vibin' in His presence.
		Splendid Isolation is a refreshingly different type of Neo-Soul album that may be enjoyed by both Gospel and Secular listeners, with an untainted message of God's love and power.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Guided By Voices
		Now, at the dawn of the 21st century, Pollard & Co. are ready take their place among the rock pantheon as they unleash their 12th studio record on the musical world at large.
		With Rob Schnapf at the production helm, the group has created an album filled not only with the timeless pop hooks you have come to expect but with the anthemic swagger that is the hallmark of many of the great rock recordings of the last 30 years.
		For Isolation Drills, Pollard has at least partially replaced his usual stream-of-consciousness weirdnesswith an obtuse sentimentality, exposing a previously-unseen tender side of this rock songwriting giant.

	Splendid Isolation* » melle.ca
		Employees can be professionally isolated – left out of the tick-tock of projects and changes and brainstorming and whatnot – and they can be socially isolated – left out of the politics and pede-conferences and gossip and after-work beers and lunches where great ideas get sketched out on napkins.
		Thing is, isolation not only lowers the amount and quality of work getting done, and the happiness of employees, for the individual, it also puts your job at risk.
		I did a quote search on isolation as a subject in general, and most of what came back related to politics and the geopolitical climate of the world over time (hence the title of this piece).

	ENDANGERED SPECIES - Splendid isolation
		Geographic isolation and a highly diverse landscape have combined to produce incredible biodiversity as well as a rich cultural tapestry.
		Traditional highland culture has always included considerable inter-tribal warfare, which helped to isolate villages from their neighbours even more than might be expected from the terrain.
		It is a bitter irony that the encroachment of development into harsh, isolated environments usually destroys the only cultures that have been able to survive them.

		Splendid Isolation is a great album as well - maybe even better - and who cares if it's downtempo or anything else.
		"Splendid Isolation" has much the same vibe of "Shallow and Profound," but the jazz'n'lounge has been toned down, in favour of a more rock-oriented sound.
		While the flavour of "Splendid Isolation" is a bit different from Yonderboi's last album, those expecting an entrancing, elaborate experience will not be disappointed.

		Having exchanged the forests of Somogy county for the Budapest, his new record "Splendid Isolation" is more mature and more urban than the amazing first album "Shallow and Profound".
		Like a good movie, "Splendid Isolation" tells a many-layered story that builds up to a trippy ending.

		The first time was in 2000 when Mr Schüssel conferred respectability on the hard-right Nazi apologist, Joerg Haider, by bringing him into a coalition government and then had to endure the indignity of being quarantined in Europe.
		Last weekend, Mr Schüssel managed to isolate Austria again, this time 24-1, in his resistance to offering EU membership talks to Turkey.
		German Christian Democrats were quick to observe that Mr Schüssel was not as isolated as he appeared, that he was the frontman for plenty of others who thought likewise but opted not to speak out loud.

		If this concern, in hindsight, appears quaint—like ancient mariners fretting about falling off the edge of the Earth—the prospect of catastrophic contamination was taken altogether seriously at the time.
		In 1963, the National Academy of Sciences, anxious to guard against invisible invaders, called for a way to isolate the Apollo astronauts upon their return from a series of planned Moon landings.
		Plans called for Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins to be quarantined—for three weeks, under hermetically sealed conditions—from the moment they opened the hatch of their capsule, bobbing in the Pacific.

	Sam Moore - Splendid Isolation (Buy for £9.97)
		When I first heard a pre-release version of this album I was hugely impressed with Sam's silkily emotive voice but thought such exceptional vocal talent cried out for an R&B producer familiar with the tastes of today's urban audience.
		The new, improved 'Splendid Isolation', with four tracks produced by Ibe, is a magnificent debut.
		Splendid Isolation is a very well blended mix of Neo Soul, R&B, and Jazz, without losing what I call the Euro-Soul Urban feel.

		The policy of the British Government towards Iraq has echoes of the "splendid isolationism" which kept Britain apart from its continental neighbours during much of the 19th Century.
		The individual memory of a different kind of splendid isolation, the heroic one, of 1940 is still alive.

		Not enough people heard Yonderboi's "Shallow and Profound." That's a shame, because the Hungarian wunderkind's enchanting debut was one of the most unique, entrancing downtempo albums seen in years.
		Splendid Isolation is different from both of his first albums; it is more mature, and it has an amazingly perfect flow between the themes of the songs.
		Even though "Splendid Isolation" does not have the so called "lounge" vibe as his previous released longplayer "Shallow and Profound" did, this album does retain the typical down tempo melancholic, fresh, direct to the brain, makes you wonder, tunes we know from Yonderboi.

		This album follows his much acclaimed first album "Shallow and Profound", which was released in 2000 and recognised by many as the best debut album of that year.
		Yonderboi's new album "Splendid Isolation" is a perfect blend of nineties Trip Hop, cool guitar licks, Hip Hop/ R and B and film soundtracks.
		The musical sketches developed into songs, making "Splendid Isolation" an emotional re-print of his last three years.

		“Splendid Isolation” (Yonderboi) is the long awaited follow-up of “Shallow and Profound” by young musical mastermind Yonderboi.
		Where his previous album is still perfect background music for lifestyle shows on TV, Splendid Isolation is more firm, has more vocals and has simply more balls.
		If both albums would be used for movies, the latter certainly is the action movie with probably Quentin Tarantino as director.

		I am afraid that the Dutch team could have played even better if the sudden attention didn't go to the heads of great talents such as Quincy Owusu Abeyie, which were put in the spot lights at once and probably hampered their concentration.
		Why couldn¡¯t the team train in splendid isolation without any media intervention, maybe even under the conditions the members of the jury in the US have to deal with: no newspapers, no internet, no talking to mum, dad or girl friends, no nothing.
		Only the team mates, trainer and ball to communicate with.
