there ’ s something uniquely insane about ephel duath ’ s music , even after you ’ ve listened a few times and are ‘ used ’ to it . in accordance with their goal of not belonging to any specific type of genre or musical movement , the then - line - up of giuliano mogicato and davide tiso fashioned their own sound , which makes classifying this close to impossible . an avant - garde blend of norwegian black metal godfathers emperor and limbonic art is probably the best way to describe rephormula , with heavy electronics giving it a mild industrial vibe . although it lacks the jazz influences that would come to give later albums from the italians their special bite , this re - release of the band ’ s debut has a beguiling violence all of its own , mixing melody with chaos in style . the history of the italian metal band ephel duath is marked by constant change of both their sound and their line - up and the refusal to stay within the same style for two albums in a row . after the black metal debut “ phormula ” came the jazz metal masterpiece “ a painter ’ s palette ” which was followed by the much rougher and heavier - and quite disappointing - album “ pain necessary to know ” . further there have been two remix albums released : “ rephormula ” and “ pain remixes the known ” . you see , it ’ s impossible to make any prognoses about what ephel duath are going to do next . still , once it became clear that the announcement to record an album about the daily life of a dog was not a ridiculous gag , a puzzled sigh escaped many of the fans including myself . particularly impressive are the aforementioned electronics . all of the drumming on this album is programmed , and it takes a fair amount of concentration to notice , such is the skill and variety at work here , from light - speed blastbeats to more complex and experimental arrangements . techno beats are also used , sparingly but effectively , mixing with the other percussion to create perfect backing – the flickering warmth showing them off especially well . samples are used as well , for example on myriads , an instrumental lullaby that is a moment of unsettling calm before the title track builds up to impact . keyboards throughout are varied and provide lightness to the gnarly black metal base , but never are given priority . instead , they are integrated into the overall chaotic sound , working with the guitars and vocals rather than against them . guiliano mogicato ’ s vocals are mostly screamed ( he sounds remarkably like emperor ’ s ihsahn in the old days ) although there is some rare singing , the band clearly not wanting to overuse clean vocals . guitars weave in and out , much as other bands would use keyboards , riffs varying from folky ( the danza ) to the more typical thrashy type . the songwriting as a whole is excellent , several tracks flowing directly into each other , and the last few seconds of insomnia ’ s desert repeating the album ’ s opening melody . give it time and patience and the songs will make more sense the more you listen ; although as mentioned there will always be that mentally unhinged aspect to it all . this re - release also contains two remixes and about half of the band ’ s 1998 opera demo as bonuses , which explore the industrial and neo - classical aspects of the music respectively . for once , these bonus tracks are of high - quality , and are all worth listening to ; making this package even more worthwhile for fans of any experimental extreme music ( fans of early arcturus and solefald especially ) who haven ’ t picked up on ephel duath ’ s early , blackened days , as opposed to the jazzy hardcore route that they follow currently . not to diminish what the band have achieved with the painter ’ s palette and pain necessary to know , but those even more obtuse albums are even harder to comprehend without knowing the band ’ s roots – roots well worth getting to grips with in this modern classic . you did not vote yet . there are 2 replies to this review . last one on mon sep 01 , 2008 9 : 52 pm review summary : as the cat decomposes . . . yet after listening to the album it became clear that the concept was the least thing to worry about . actually it was refreshingly funny to hear someone growling and shouting about chasing cats and burying bones and even the more philosophical moments that most often occur out of the comparisons and parallels between the narrating dog and his human “ master ” have a more entertaining and interesting value to it than it seems at first . or to say it with guitarist and founding member davide tiso ’ s words : “ the album touches on a lot of things , both deep and sometimes silly ” . to be honest , the emphasis lies definitely on silly , but not in a “ oh my god is this dumb ” kind of silly , but more in the way of a quiet chuckle . and actually when you come to think about it , ephel duath ’ s approach has always been to take extreme forms of music and push them into unusual and strange territories and as awkward as that sounds , what could be more unusual and strange than telling the story of a dog in form of a conceptual metal album ? actually the album is so bizarre that it almost becomes interesting for its obscurity alone . so if lyrics and concept are not the problem , what ’ s wrong with the album ? it ’ s the fact that ephel duath seem to run out of breath and ideas . of course a simple change of sound cannot be taunted , and neither the absence of jazz elements nor the loss of their aggressiveness should hurt me if it was replaced with something else . however with “ through my dog ’ s eyes ” they have not only lost any legitimation to call themselves avant - garde , or even experimental , but also given up their liveliness and variety . one of the biggest achievements of “ the painter ’ s palette ” and to a lesser extent of “ pain necessary to know ” was the huge array of styles in their sound , the amount of influences that shaped the albums . this time you do get a mix of hard rock and metalcore with some brief excursions into southern rock and blues , but that ’ s about it . the mostly uniform songs are still more complex than your average metal album , but that doesn ’ t make them more interesting . instead they let one wonder whether the boredom was deliberate to more accurately sketch out the lame life of a dog with music - and indeed , according to blabbermouth . com davide tiso claims : “ the music in this case is the soundtrack of the thoughts of the dog ” . of course this leaves open the question how good an idea that was in the first place . at the point of recording the album , ephel duath were reduced to a trio : drummer marco minnemann who has previously worked with countless bands including paul gilbert and necrophagist does quite an impressive performance . though davide tiso often threatens to fade away into uninspired riffing , he is able to pull of a number of more interesting guitar figures as well and the subtle electronic effects he uses on some of the songs do really work in favor of them . but it all falls with vocalist luciano george lorusso ’ s performance , which seems to be stuck in metalcore vocalist clichés and so gives an obscure contrast to the album ’ s lyrics . and as we ’ re speaking of obscurity once again : he has recently been replaced by a professional poker player called guillermo gonzales . however the band is still able to create a number of very enjoyable songs , first of all the opener which has a certain southern rock feeling to it , but also silent door as well as the more melodic track guardian and most of all the closer bark loud , which features dillinger escape plan ’ s ben weinman . though it cannot be completely dismissed , “ through my dog ’ s eyes ” is not a very good album , especially when considering the greatness of some of the band ’ s previous material . actually it is left to hope that this is about the lowest the band can get . so anyone who is already into ephel duath , shouldn ’ t get this with any expectations on his mind , as it is a completely different kind of music played by a completely different band . and for anyone who hasn ’ t heard anything by the band yet , i ’ d strongly recommend to first get “ the painter ’ s palette ” . “ through my dog ’ s eyes ” is good for half an hour of half -

phormula and rephormula received generally positive reviews . a writer in the romanian magazine negura said : " it ' s full of magic and mystery and you can sense there ’ s a whole ( alchemic ) process going on at the same beside the music . " jason taylor of allmusic said that the album " is certainly one of the most intriguing black metal albums to be released . " he also praised the reissue as a " welcome introduction " to the duo ' s music . the webzine chronicles of chaos praised the album ' s tempo as " simultaneously innovative and enjoyable . " stylus magazine reviewer cosmo lee stated that phormula " ran norwegian black metal through a funhouse of electronics and demented wackiness . " regarding the use of a drum machine , critics were of different opinions ; pedro azevedo of chronicles of chaos considered it " well used [ . . . ] despite some less than perfect passages " , while negura ' s writer saw what he called " electronic drums " ( a drum machine was used ) as the only negative aspect of the album .

The album "Rephormula" by Ephel Duath received mixed reviews. Some reviewers praised the album's unique blend of black metal, electronics, and industrial elements, calling it a "modern classic." Others found the album's sound to be too chaotic and lacking in cohesion. The reviewer of this article gave the album a positive review, praising its originality and complexity. However, another reviewer found the album to be disappointing, citing a lack of creativity and a reliance on metalcore cliches. Overall, opinions on the album are divided, with some seeing it as a groundbreaking work and others finding it to be flawed.

ephel duath was formed in padova , veneto , in february 1998 , initially as a studio project , by the duo of davide tiso ( vocals , guitar , keyboards ) and giuliano mogicato ( vocals , guitar , bass ) . the project debuted in october that same year with the demo opera . this recording sold over 1 , 000 copies and topped mp3 . com ' s heavy metal charts with over 20 , 000 free downloads , which drew attention of the newly founded italian label code666 who signed the band in late 1999 . the duo recorded and mixed the album at fear studio in ravenna , italy . phormula was released in may 2000 and was well - received by critics , who generally praised the creativity of musicians as well as their experimental combination of electronic music and extreme metal . however , this success did not prevent the departure of giuliano mogicato in june 2001 . in a 2008 interview with avantgarde - metal . com , davide tiso discussed the departure of mogicato : we have been a great communion for a lot of years , but after the phormula recording session , my bandmate giuliano [ mogicato ] became completely confused regarding the [ sic ] ephel duath ’ s future . he wanted to move the new sound to some " anti - metal " form ; ephel duath in his conception would be an instrumental band with percussion , cello and others acoustic instruments . i preferred to continue alone , because i thought he would destroy the spirit of the band . later in 2001 , the code7 agency ( a division of the code666 label ) sent the band to sign a four - album deal with elitist records , a sub - label of earache records . in early 2002 , earache / elitist decided to re - release phormula , adding two remixed songs and a sampling of ephel duath ' s original demo , 1998 ' s opera , as bonus tracks , and changed the title to rephormula .

Ephel Duath's music is unique, blending Norwegian black metal with industrial and electronic elements. Their debut album "Rephormula" is a challenging listen, but rewarding for fans of experimental extreme music. The band's history is marked by constant change, refusing to stick to one style for too long.

the word dedication first appears in the 14th century as a name for the solemn act of dedicating something , such as a calendar day or a church , to a divine being or to a sacred use . the word — formed from the latin past participle of dedicare , meaning " to dedicate " — did not take hold in secular contexts until a few centuries later when english speakers began using it to refer to the act of devoting time and energy to a particular purpose . one of the earliest writers to do so is william shakespeare . " his life i gave him , and did thereto ad / my love without retention or restraint , / all his in dedication … . , " proclaims his character antonio in twelfth night . dedication has also come to describe the quality of being loyal or devoted to a cause , ideal , or purpose . nowadays , people are commonly spoken of as having a dedication to his or her family or work . that brings us to 3 . the first dedication since lil wayne has reached his gigantic status as hip hop ' s hardest working , most marketable star today ( did you know the carter 3 went platinum something like 36 times ? ) . i ' m only half way through the mixtape , but so far it ' s pretty good . jae millz is on it an incredible amount of times , that ' s for sure . he also mentions sarah palin at least two times . and he still loves autotune . as the southern poverty law center report explains : two distinct periods saw a significant rise in the dedication of monuments and other symbols [ of the confederacy ] . these example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word ' dedication .

thug on da line received widespread acclaim from critics . jon azpiri from all music gave thug on da line a 4 / 5 rating and wrote : " after listening to krayzie bone on his second solo album , thug on da line , you get the sense that he is dealing with some personal demons . after years of personal and professional strife , krayzie raps about his frustration with thug life in his patented singsong style on tracks like " can ' t hustle 4 ever " and " talk to myself " . " evan serpcik from entertainment weekly gave thug on da line an a - rating and wrote : " on thug on da line , krayzie melds his precision , rapid - fire rhymes , and delicately sung choruses with expansive r & b tracks that groove like a ghettoized neville brothers tune . rest assured , references to gats and thugs abound , but most often they are contextualized into tales of longing and regret .

( buddah and abc pressings from the 70 ' s are a good example of this . ) may have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl . possible minor surface noise when played . vinyl should be very clean , but can have less luster than near mint . should still shine under a light , but one or two marks may show up when tilted . can have a few small marks that may show up easily , but which do not affect play at all . most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted , and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail . this is the kind of record that will play " near mint " , but which will have some signs of use ( although not major ones ) . may have slight surface noise when played . vinyl can have some dirt , but nothing major . may not shine under light , but should still be pretty clean , and not too dirty . may have a number of marks ( 5 to 10 at most ) , and obvious signs of play , but never a big cluster of them , or any major mark that would be very deep . most marks should still not click under a fingernail . may not look near perfect , but should play fairly well , with slight surface noise , and the occasional click in part of a song , but never throughout a whole song or more . this is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times , but which could also be a good " play copy " for someone new . vinyl may be dirty , and can lack a fair amount of luster . vinyl can have a number of marks , either in clusters or smaller amounts , but deeper . this is the kind of record that you ' d buy to play , but not because it looked that great . still , the flaws should be mostly cosmetic , with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record . examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve , or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface . the record should play okay , though probably with surface noise . vinyl may be dirty , or have one outstanding flaw , such as a light residue , which could be difficult to clean . may have marks on all parts , too many to qualify as very good - , or several deeper marks , but the record should still be ok for play without skips . in general , this is a record that was played a fair amount , and handled without care . a typical example may be a record which has been heavily played by a dj , and carries marks from slip cueing . depending on the quality of the vinyl , may play with surface noise throughout . a record that you ' d buy to play , cheap , but which you wouldn ' t buy for collecting . will have marks across all parts of the playing surface , and will most likely play with surface noise throughout . may have some other significant flaws , such as residue , or a track that skips . in most cases , a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record . this is a grade we rarely use , as we try not to sell records in very bad condition , though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above . a " fair " record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as " good " , but is a copy you might consider for playing , if you ' re willing to put up with noise and / or flaws . an example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music . for records listed as " fair " , we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments . like " fair " , we rarely list records in this condition , as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum . these records typically have multiple serious problems , and we offer them as " relics " or " objects " only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record , even if it is not really worthy of play , perhaps for the cover alone . for these records , we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments . if something is noteworthy , we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record . this might include , but isn ' t limited to , warped records , tracks that skip , cover damage or wear as noted above , or strictly cosmetic flaws . we have only one grade for non - new cds at dusty groove — " used cd " . this grade is somewhat all - encompassing , but we choose it because we try to offer used cds in the best shape possible . all of our used cds are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws . if you purchase a used cd from dusty groove , you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not , then you may return it for a full refund . with our used cds , you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean , and not dirty at all . you can also expect the case to be clean ( we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on used cds we handle ) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape , unless noted otherwise . we will list any specific details / defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case , stamps on the barcode , or details like that . dusty groove is a registered trademark — read more .

allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by scott yanow stating , " the gene ammons all - star jam session recordings of the 1950 ' s are all quite enjoyable and this one is no exception . . . ammons seems to really inspire his sidemen on these soulful bop jams " .

lamar & apos ; s gift is not just that he can say why he & apos ; s the best ( " i got power , poison , pain and joy inside my dna " ) , but also that he articulate how this responsibility feels ( " i feel like the whole world want me to pray for & apos ; em / but who the fuck prayin & apos ; for me ? " ) . he can paint pride and agony with the same brush , and it ’ s that ability that makes " fear " probably the most emotionally rich song in his entire discography . like sigmund freud meets scarface , lamar connects the dots from the seven - year - old terrified of catching a beating from his mother to the 17 - year - old terrified of being murdered by police to the 27 - year - old terrified of fame . " i practiced runnin & apos ; from fear , guess i had some good luck , " he raps with ease . " at 27 years old , my biggest fear was bein & apos ; judged . " that & apos ; s the electric part about damn . : 2pac rapped through his contradictions ; lamar raps about his contradictions . the theme here is humility , and kendrick clearly has mixed feelings . on " loyalty , " he treats his boasts like a weakness , with rihanna crooning " it & apos ; s so hard to be humble . " on " pride , " he treats his boasts as an annoying obligation , drolly saying " i can ’ t fake humble just & apos ; cause your ass is insecure . " then , on " humble , " he finally screams " bitch , be humble " like he worked up the confidence . and even then , you can & apos ; t help but wonder if he & apos ; s talking to himself . on " element , " he & apos ; ll say " i don & apos ; t give a fuck " but then immediately follow it with " i & apos ; m willin & apos ; to die for this shit .

' album - rolling stone kendrick lamar has already taken hip - hop to the outer galaxies of style , sound and resonance . protesters in chicago , cleveland , oakland and new york took to the streets singing his 2015 single " alright " like it was the new " we shall overcome . " his last album , to pimp a butterfly , will likely go down as the defining reflection of the america that spawned # blacklivesmatter , in the same way pablo picasso & apos ; s guernica stands as the defining reflection of the spanish civil war . on butterfly , he untangled the mess in his mind with multiple personalities and distended voices , an inside out - esque spray where different emotions would almost require different timbres . now he stares down almost everything with the same voice and a singular focus , whether his problems are external ( fox news , the prison - industrial complex , guns ) , internal ( self - doubt , pride ) or something in between ( see the masterful " lust , " which treats news of donald trump & apos ; s election as but a rumble in a monotonous groundhog day timeline of existence ) . his flow remains exquisite without having fall back on the dramatic filigrees he brought to butterfly . producers like mike will made it and sounwave make damn . feel state of the art – an album full of beat changes , tempo switches , backmasking , needle bounces and broken melodies – but lamar & apos ; s rapping is timeless enough to step into ice cube & apos ; s death certificate timberlands . in the album ’ s introduction , lamar helps a blind lady searching for something on the ground , and she turns out to be a murderer . the meaning of this metaphor is open for debate , but one thing is indisputable : kendrick lamar sees himself as someone here to help people find the things they have lost – quite often , it seems , a sense of humanity itself . and that & apos ; s a huge job for one man , especially since his peers can hold court on a relatively smaller part of the collective subconscious . chance the rapper raps like america & apos ; s hope and optimism ; kanye west its untethered id and basest impulses . hundreds of street - level mixtape rappers represent anger and nihilism ; and mega - stars like drake , j . cole , big sean , nicki minaj and eminem are all explorations of various ideas of self . lamar , patient and meticulous , self - doubting yet bold , is left as pretty much the unofficial navigator of everything else , a wide , complex , occasionally paradoxical gulf of noise . gaelic storm once again delivers their unique acoustic world / celtic sound with original songs crafted so tightly that they may well become standards . with 14 brand new tracks about gypsies , sailors , legendary drinkers , moonshiners , ne ’ er - do - wells , rogues and ramblers including fiery fiddle tunes , roaring pipe tunes , sea shanties and raucous sing - alongs , this sixth studio album from one of world music ’ s premier live acts is a must - have ! it ’ s a storm you won ’ t mind getting caught in , just don ’ t forget to “ bring yer wellies ! ” gaelic storm once again delivers their unique acoustic world / celtic sound with original songs crafted so tightly that they may well become standards . with 14 brand new tracks about gypsies , sailors , legendary drinkers , moonshiners , ne ’ er - do - wells , rogues and ramblers including fiery fiddle tunes , roaring pipe tunes , sea shanties and raucous sing - alongs , this sixth studio album from one of world music ’ s premier live acts is a must - have ! it ’ s a storm you won ’ t mind getting caught in , just don ’ t forget to “ bring yer wellies ! ” john coltrane ' s first solo album , 1957 ' s blue train ( blue note ) is stunning not only because of the brilliant performances by coltrane , trumpeter lee morgan , and trombonist curtis fuller , but because of the space it occupies in terms of coltrane ' s development as an innovator , and of resulting advances in jazz . the songs " moment ' s notice " and " lazy bird " make use of chord changes known as " coltrane changes , " which coltrane further explored in his seminal 1959 album giant steps ( atlantic ) . review : kendrick lamar moves from uplift to beast mode on dazzling ' damn .

' kendrick lamar ' s ' damn . ' : a track - by - track guide of course , this is kendrick lamar , so if he & apos ; s going to delve into a more classic style of rap , he & apos ; s going to take a complex , multifaceted , strange , unexpected path to get there . his twists on vintage hip - hop are downright post - modern . kid capri , the dj whose blends and airhorn voice were omnipresent on early nineties mixtapes , shows up with his iconic voice . but instead of brassy hype , he drops existential koans like , " y & apos ; all know , what happens on earth stays on earth . " " xxx " is a vintage screed about clapping back at killer cops , perfectly in line with rodney king - era revenge fantasies by geto boys , paris and lamar & apos ; s personal hero 2pac . but lamar goes deeper into his own mind , painting blood - soaked hypotheticals and then juxtaposing them against his desires for gun control .

allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating " this lp features sadao watanabe at his best " .

The reception of Kendrick Lamar's album "Damn." is overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising his storytelling, lyricism, and blend of traditional and modern styles. His ability to tackle complex themes and emotions with humility and vulnerability is particularly noted.

on country - folk , jennings worked with producer danny davis , a new york city veteran who had produced connie francis and nina simone . rca executive chet atkins , who also produced jennings ' albums , had called waylon ' s 1966 debut folk - country in an attempt to market the singer to this new , younger audience , and this idea continued on country - folk . jennings , who was unhappy with the sound of his records at rca despite decent sales , butted heads with his new producer . in michael striessguth ' s book outlaw : waylon , willie , kris , and the renegades of nashville , jennings guitarist billy ray reynolds recalls , " waylon liked danny but the chemistry wasn ' t there . he [ davis ] was a good guy but he had a little bit more of a new york attitude than waylon was used to . they do things a little differently up there . they don ' t pull their punches . " the kimberlys were a quartet consisting of two brothers from oklahoma and their wives , who are also sisters . the liner notes state that they were familiar to other musicians in the las vegas area . jennings intended to gain for them a wider audience with this album . three of the songs on the album are written or co - written by harold gay , one of the members . the album is best remembered for its version of jimmy webb ' s " macarthur park , " which rose to # 23 on the billboard country charts and won a grammy for best country performance by a duo or group . in his autobiography , jennings insisted he had a vision for the song from the start : " danny and i got into it a couple of times over the arrangement . i knew exactly what i wanted the strings to do ; i had to hum the parts . he probably had his own ideas . but the single got into the top twenty five that fall . . . by then , everybody was more than happy to claim it was their idea .

history

album

“ be bop ” flirts with a classic sound , but it ’ s more inference by rhythm section than it is embracing an approach ; that the tune eventually shifts into a healthy folk - jazz form of expression only accentuates this impression . sometimes valentini ’ s quintet lives at one extreme for the duration of an entire song . the title - track “ light and darkness ” sits in bop territory , whereas “ gatta ci cova ” is firmly situated in avant - garde territory . and then there ’ s the evocative “ linda ’ s mood , ” a rare bit of contemplation on a track that is typically bursting with life . but the album ’ s normalcy is embodied by opening track “ sottane emiliane ” and the way it utilizes the unexpected as one would a craftsman ’ s tool . there ’ s a compelling folk - jazz expressionism on the 2008 release light and darkness that , had it been left alone , would have made for a seriously enchanting album . but saxophonist ivan valentini couldn ’ t leave well enough alone , and by guiding his quintet to perpetually deconstruct each of these tunes , he created something far more fascinating . with alberto capelli and paolo botti adding guitars , banjo and cello to the mix , the music retains a rustic charm and often provides a jolt of electricity , to boot . melodies are warped and re - shaped with an odd geometry , as if inspired by salvador dalí . the cadence of each piece is often quite conversational and brisk . the developmental arc of each piece rarely ends up in a place that its beginning might have foreseen . listen to more of the album at the artist ’ s bandcamp page . this album was recently uploaded to valentini ’ s bandcamp page , which is how is got onto my radar nearly ten years after its release . i ’ m happy for the opportunity to get this seriously intriguing , extremely enjoyable recording onto your radars now , too . yessir , we use cookies … to make sure officialcharts . com is the number 1 chart site on the interweb . cookies remember your choices and tailor content especially for you ( as kylie & jason might say ) and by being here you consent to their use . live - the way we walk vol . 1 : the shorts live - the way we walk vol . 2 : the longs your album personnel : ivan valentini ( soprano & alto saxophones ) , enrico lazzarini ( double bass ) , alberto capelli ( electric & acoustic guitars ) , andrea burani ( drums ) and paolo botti ( viola , banjo ) . this self - produced album was released in 2008 . notify me of follow - up comments by email . notify me of new posts by email . enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email . please enable javascript to view the comments powered by disqus . win black sabbath ' s incredible , limited - edition the ten year war vinyl box set https : / / t . co / imfhy0q9n8 https : / / t . co / rg7umbfvap new charts announced in . . . # chartfact @ rihanna has a mega 10 songs in our newly unveiled official chart millionaires list ✨ https : / / t . co / hy8ejm1hxt morrissey has shared his first new music in 3 years , and it ' s a . ) really good and b . ) offers some great advice : … https : / / t . co / mg0twxey8y new jazz : we search . we recommend . you listen . music from modena , italy . your email address will not be published . required fields are marked * sorry , your blog cannot share posts by email .

" nme wrote , " ' souljacker ' ' s songs rock harder than most of e ' s nu metal enemies . but what ' s really terrifying is that e ' s just warming up . the next album will be a killer – and probably feature one on backing vocals . " pitchfork was critical , writing , " beyond the melodies that don ' t stick in my head and the beats that don ' t make me want to dance , the only real problem with souljacker [ . . . ] is that it just seems like an underachievement .

background

album

possibilities is a trio that developed out of the close kinship of three musicians , tim bennett , peter manheim , and dan stein . after meeting as 18 year olds in 2007 , they became integral in each other ' s musical and personal development . they sought wisdom from the older generation of jazz musicians , but also learned from each other , personalizing and implementing the knowledge passed down to them from their mentors in rehearsals and performances . possibilities soon developed their own musical language , and after a few years of playing realized that there was something unique and passionate that occurred every time they performed . years later , after individually pursuing professional careers in music , they found that although they were playing with notable musicians in many different contexts , nothing felt quite like the music they made as a trio . possibilities started performing again and recorded their debut full length album , " get ' em " , which is due out in april 2017 . with an effortless approach to group improvisation , every performance is completely different than the last , and always results in an intensely soulful dialogue between the musicians

the dena tape is considered to be the weakest project from any odd future member , from critics and fans alike . pitchfork wrote on the mixtape , stating hodgy ' s debut mixtape features almost no guest verses , and hodgy just wasn ' t far along enough as a rapper to warrant an hour - long album to himself . hodgy ' s far from the crew ' s most charismatic rapper , and his sleepy behind - the - beat delivery works best when it ' s used as a foil to tyler ' s manic ferocity . the dena tape is just as much mixtape as album , with hodgy rapping over tracks like jamie foxx ' s " blame it " and jay - z ' s " ignorant shit " along with all the drunken - synth odd future tracks you ' d expect . but hodgy raps here like someone who doesn ' t even remotely care about rapping . he wouldn ' t hit his stride until he linked up with non - rapping producer left brain to form mellowhype , where hodgy ' s lazy delivery becomes a part of left brain ' s sonic universe . mellowhype ' s debut album yellowhite would come not long after the dena tape , and there ' s a world of progress in between the two releases . as it is , the dena tape stands as maybe the single biggest outright dud in the odd future catalog .

The reception of Hodgy Beats' "Dena Tape 2" is open to interpretation, with the article asking readers to share their thoughts in the comments.

alison krauss ’ new album windy city is her first effort away from her band union station since raising sand and her debut for capitol records . the album features alison performing 10 classic songs that she carefully selected with producer buddy cannon . on the surface , everything about alison krauss ’ new album feels like a shot at the kind of crossover career in country music that folks like carrie underwood and brad paisley are enjoying . after more than two decades on the sturdy independent label rounder , the 45 - year - old artist signed to capitol records , and in return they have dolled her up on the cover of windy city with a big head of hair and a small , black dress . and for her first major - label release , she decided to dip into the deep well of country music ’ s past , recording 10 cover songs previously released by icons like brenda lee , willie nelson , and ray charles . any fears about krauss aiming for arena - sized sales numbers are quickly wiped away upon the first spin through windy city . the most well - known song on this album is “ gentle on my mind ” , the easy - listening staple that glen campbell took to the billboard top 40 in 1968 . beyond that , this is a record of krauss ’ personal favorites and deep cuts that molded her sensibility as a performer and songwriter , all recorded with a traditionalist ’ s bent under the guidance of grammy - winning producer buddy cannon . perhaps that doesn ’ t make windy city as bold a statement as its cover and major - label budget would suggest . it really doesn ’ t need to be . krauss is well - known enough that this album is guaranteed to sell well and likely net her an armful of awards by this time next year . if she ’ s playing it a little safe , it might be out of some fear of alienating the fan base she has cultivated since the mid - ‘ 80s . she ’ s not pushing the envelope so much as crinkling it a little bit , so she can curl up comfortably inside . krauss ’ forthcoming album , windy city , is a collection of 10 classic songs that she carefully selected with nashville producer buddy cannon . she was determined to collaborate with cannon for this record , even if she didn ’ t yet know what songs she would be recording . this is krauss ’ first release on capitol records and her first album without her band union station since 2007 ’ s raising sand . you can enjoy windy city in its entirety when it drops on feb . 17 . together , they carefully picked the 10 tracks that include classic songs like “ gentle on my mind ” and “ you don ’ t know me . ” “ losing you , ” which was originally recorded by brenda lee for a 1963 album , is the first release from the album . fans can download that track right now via itunes . in that sense , the songs that krauss chose for windy city look back to country ’ s sorrowful , heartbroken roots . there are no happy relationships or sexy good times to be found . though the tempo may get peppy on kiss - offs like the swinging “ it ’ s goodbye and so long to you ” ( originally recorded by bluegrass duo the osborne brothers ) and the latin - tinged take on the bill monroe b - side “ poison love ” , the rest of the record is a long , wistful sigh . that tone has suited krauss perfectly for decades now . so it ’ s little wonder that cannon wanted to play up that mood on this record . it also figures into the song selection . there ’ s a direct line that connects krauss to a singer like ‘ 60s sensation brenda lee as they both possess a crystalline tone and sharp twang that can reveal both spirited joy and pools of sorrow with the slightest twist or push . it ’ s no mistake that two of the strongest cuts on windy city — “ losing you ” and “ all alone am i ” — were the once popularized by lee . along with jonathan coulton , mann brought both humor and a warm beauty to her windy city set . what this album does represent is a further move by krauss away from the bluegrass / americana sound that made her such a huge success around the world . in recent years , that has meant recording less with union station , the band that helped bring her to international acclaim , and working with outside - the - box artists like robert plant and jamey johnson . it isn ’ t a bold reconfiguring of her musical personality , like speak now - era taylor swift . this is a more gentle sidestep inspired , krauss has said , more by working with cannon than any need to break the mold . she ’ s staying true to herself while moving the needle forward just so . if you can ’ t name a single elvis costello album , here are a handful of good places to start . album review : chris stapleton – from a room vol . 1 the svu star and original gangster talks his heavy metal outfit ’ s new album . twenty one years since his first studio album , david gray ’ s tenth and latest , mutineers , finds the singer - songwriter steering into unfamiliar territory while cultivating a pugnacious but respectful relationship with his own history . “ i think if you ’ re going forward with an open heart , good things will happen , ” says david . “ you have to sort of tear up the past and let it go . ” twenty - seven - time grammy award winner alison krauss is gearing up to release a unique new album this february . krauss knew she had to work with cannon on a covers project after she collaborated with him in the studio for a jamey johnson album . country notches first no . 1 album of 2017 with thomas rhett ’ s ‘ life changes ’ morrissey ' s first - ever tweet : " spent the day in bed . . . " the band have rarely sounded so experimental , unencumbered , and mid - tempo . stay tuned — the year in music may be speeding up . the latest release from chicago ’ s fledging closed sessions record label . kathryn bigelow ’ s drama about the 1967 riots is brutal , pointed , and complicated . an ambitious homage that sometimes tries to juggle too many ideas at once . chance the rapper and jamila woods associate gets lost in euphoria . the country outlaw adds a much - needed layer of grit and spit to nashville . damned if we can remember where we were , but here ’ s what we listened to and still do . on her fourth lp , the experimental noise act makes a call for empathy with sedative drone . © 2007 - 2017 consequence of sound • advertise here • powered by wordpress . com vip tickets on sale friday , june 23 at 10 a . m . presented by aeg and outback concerts , alison krauss and david gray are coming to cary ’ s booth amphitheatre on sunday , september 24 , 2017 . general admission lawn tickets are $ 49 . 50 and reserved seats and reserved table seats are $ 75 . go to www . boothamphitheatre . com for more info . there is a ticket limit of 8 per transaction . tickets can be purchased at booth amphitheatre ( tuesday – friday , noon – 6 p . m . ) , through etix . com , or by phone at ( 800 ) 514 - 3849 . etix phone hours : monday - friday / 9 a . m . - 8 p . m . est saturday / 10 a . m . – 8 p . m . est & sunday / noon – 8 p . m . est alison inhabits – and liberates – the very essence that makes each of the songs eternal . while they span different eras and musical genres , there is a unifying sensibility . some of the songs are familiar – like “ gentle on my mind , ” a signature song of glen campbell ’ s , and “ you don ’ t know me ” which was a hit for eddy arnold and ray charles . others were lesser known , like willie nelson ’ s “ i never cared for you ” and “ all alone am i , ” originally recorded by brenda lee . david ’ s past includes the phenomenal success of white ladder ( seven million copies sold ) , one of three uk number one albums , with records that became ubiquitous and others that needed to be sought out to be heard . it ’ s a richness of terrain and experience over a duration that belies the traditions and expectations of popular music as surely as the songs themselves . despite such variance in both the content and reception of his prior output , the only certainty david had at the commencement of his new recording was the need to surprise himself , not just in terms of how he worked , but the ideas that drove him and the people he worked with . for complete concert information call ( 919 ) 462 - 2025 . primary contacts : teresa franzen , publicist , t . franzen , inc . , ( 919 ) 210 - 5150 powered by rockhouse partners , an etix company . “ usually it ’ s just all songs first , ” she said in a press release . “ it was the first time i ’ d ever not had songs picked out and it was just about a person . ” “ that was absolutely the moment , ” she gushed . “ wow ! buddy really makes me want to do a good job . ”

the allmusic review by jason ankney awarded the album three and a half stars and said that the album " proves one of astrud gilberto ' s most consistent and sublime efforts , artfully straddling the division between brazilian bossa nova and american sunshine pop . . . the songs possess a lithe , shimmering beauty that perfectly complements gilberto ' s feathery vocals " . ankeny reserves criticism for " the cloying sweetness that undermines so many of her mid - period verve lps " , highlighting the duet with her son marcelo on " the bare necessities " .

The album Windy City received positive reviews, with critics praising Alison Krauss's voice and the traditionalist approach taken by producer Buddy Cannon. The album is seen as a comfortable fit for Krauss, who is not trying to push boundaries but rather stay true to herself while exploring new sounds.

background

album

” yeeeah baby , ” which was close to complete before big pun ’ s death , benefits from an eclectic musical tapestry . its sundry producers swathe pun in salsa - fied hip - hop ( ” 100 % ” ) , playful r & b ( ” it ’ s so hard ” ) , and gothic gospel ( ” off wit his head ” ) — even elegant strings and piano ( ” my turn ” ) and a sample from the ” starsky & hutch ” theme ( ” watch those ” ) . but pun ’ s raps — and those of his numerous guest posse mates — don ’ t venture much beyond the usual thug - life boasts , sexual braggadocio , revenge fantasies ( ” leather face , ” complete with chainsaw solos ) , and now - chilling death stare - downs ( ” when the time is right , me and the devil gonna dance ! ” ) . under the circumstances , ” yeeeah baby ” is an inherently sad album , but it ’ s an equally tragic commentary on the tedious state of hardcore hip - hop . c as it became clear in the days following his untimely fatal heart attack in february , 400 - pound rapper christopher rios — a . k . a . big punisher — was a hero in new york city ’ s hispanic community , a latino family man who also found success in the hip - hop world . it ’ s easy to admire big pun in both regards , but as his posthumous album yeeeah baby shows , his artistic output was , unfortunately , problematic . although he displayed a distinctive rhyming style — a thick , tongue - rolling barrage of phrasing akin to an overconfident bull in a china shop — big pun , like such vocally charismatic rappers as snoop dogg and dmx , had little to say with it . big pun ' s first posthumous album , 2000 ' s " yeeeah baby , " which sold 800 , 000 copies , was nearly completed when the rapper ( whose real name was christopher rios ) died . " endangered species , " on the other hand , features a number of collaborations between pun and top - tier guests that appeared as b - sides or as tracks on other artists ' albums . there are also six unreleased songs . " he represents the artists who do both the commercial and the hard - core , " cane says . " there have only been a few guys that could do the hard - core , underground record and then the club records . it ' s a theme of the album that many people can ' t do it , and it ' s also what he wanted to call his second album before he went with " yeeeah baby . " ' this is a genuine album that came from him .

" the late big punisher did not record nearly as prolifically as shakur , but he is the latest due for a big posthumous push . last week , loud records released the second album to come out since the bronx - based rapper died in february 2000 of heart failure . " endangered species " will have to compete with the eminems , dr . dres , nellys and outkasts of the world , all of whom are able to tour , conduct interviews and do the other work of promoting an album . ' it ' s harder to promote and work him because we don ' t have a lot of live footage , " says steve rifkind , loud ' s chief executive . " we ' re doing animation and will use whatever b - roll [ existing taped interviews ] we have . " the label will issue an animated video for the collection ' s first single , " how we roll . " plans for the other two singles loud wants to release in support of the album have yet to be finalized . in part to compensate for the shortage of promotional tools , loud decided to include all of the album ' s lyrics in the cd booklet - a rarity for a rap release . the idea is to emphasize one of pun ' s biggest assets - his remarkable ability to string together loads of words without sounding jumbled . " this album is a tribute to him , but it ' s also to show people how lyrical he was , " says sean cane , director of a & r for loud and co - executive producer of " endangered species . " ' his flow was really intricate , which is why we ' ve got all of the lyrics written out . pun was one of the best . you ' ll really feel that after you get this album . " like the notorious b . i . g . ' s posthumous " born again , " which included several previously available songs and had guest appearances by eminem , the cash money millionaires and others , " endangered species " benefits from appearances by some of big pun ' s admirers . noreaga and fat joe deliver testimonials on the album , while swizz beatz , rodney jerkins and buckwild are among those whose production prowess shines on the new collection . ' we got love from most people , " cane says . " pun had a lot of fans in the industry and people that really liked him as more than just a rapper . people were willing to put in what they could . " pun , unlike most rappers , was known as a comedian and prankster . his humor was also evident in his videos , which often poked fun at his obesity and highlighted his charm . it was his recordings , of course , that earned him the most respect . whether rapping about his affinity for women of all nationalities on " still not a player " with r & b singer joe or ripping through a brutal display of braggadocio on " fire water " with fat joe , armageddon and raekwon , big pun was one of the few hip - hop acts who was respected for both his radio songs and his street selections . the six new tracks on " endangered species " are among the last of his unreleased songs , according to loud records ' rifkind . " if someone finds 50 more songs of his , we ' d put them out if they were hits , " he says . " but this is really the only album that we ' re going to put out . these are records that just hadn ' t gotten cleared [ when he died ] , but we ' re not going to be putting out an album every 18 months or every two years . we ' re not going to ruin his legacy . pun was a friend . " with the critical and commercial success , pun became the first latino rapper to go platinum . there is a common misperception when it comes to hip - hop lyricism and commercial sales . often , fans , rap critics and artists themselves believe that in order to garner platinum plaques , quality rhymes have to be sacrificed . fifteen years ago today , on april 28 , 1998 , big pun proved that notion was severely flawed when he dropped his debut lp , capital punishment . marked by expert wordplay , vivid storytelling , knee - slapping humor and catchy choruses , pun ' s first album went on to cement him as one of rap ' s greats . the entire album was heralded by fans and critics alike , and thanks to its salsa - tinged single " still not a player , " the big punisher became the first latino solo rap act to sell a million - plus albums . " i ' m the first latino soloist ever to get a platinum plaque , and that ' s special to me , because we love hip - hop , and as kids , we need somebody to look to , to strive further , " big pun told mtv ' s " news 1515 " show back in august 1998 , right after capital punishment hit the million mark . pun influenced many who came after him , and it all started with capital punishment . the 24 - track masterpiece opens with a cinematic sample from the 1994 street drama " fresh . " " punisher be taking out all you superheroes , " hollers then - child actor luis lantigua , who was actually referencing the marvel comics character the rapper took his name from . every song that followed backed the boastful claim in the intro , but instead of comic heroes , the bronx , new york , rap assassin aimed to take out his hip - hop competitors . the juju - produced " beware " is driven by pounding drums , terrifying string plucks and endless lyrical threats . " my squad is real and holds it regardless / what size of the largest , we polish the floor with the rawest hard - core artist , " the 300 - pound titan rhymed . " super lyrical " paired pun with roots rapper black thought in an intense back - and - forth rhyme joust , and on " dream shatterer , " the skilled word dealer continued to wow fans with his rapid - fire delivery . at times , he even impressed himself . " sometimes rhyming , i blow my own mind , like nirvana , " he rapped . with " i ' m not a player , " capital punishment ' s first official single , the rotund sex symbol rapped of his most explicit sexual exploits over a choice o ' jays sample . he then got murderous alongside his mentor fat joe on " twinz ( deep cover ' 98 ) . " it was on the latter when pun delivered his most impressive tongue - twister . " dead in the middle of little italy / little did we know that we riddled some middle men who didn ' t do diddly , " he rhymed without taking a single breath . while each song had its own distinct flavor , the album never let up lyrically . whether he was speaking about lost love ( " punish me " ) or dabbling in dancehall with wyclef jean ( " caribbean connection " ) , the big punisher never sacrificed a single lyric to cater to radio or other commercial outlets . the feat put him in a class of selected rap torchbearers like jay - z , eminem and nas , though pun never reached their heights . the potential was there , but pun ' s career and life were cut short when he died february 7 , 2000 , after suffering from complications stemming from extreme obesity . © 2017 viacom international inc . all rights reserved . mtv and all related titles and logos are trademarks of viacom international inc .

the album consists of two of big pun ' s biggest hits , the first single " it ' s so hard " and the puerto rican anthem " 100 % " . in the former song , he exclaims : " it ' s hard work , baby . i just lost 100 pounds . i ' m trying to live . i ain ' t going nowhere . " in his last magazine interview , conducted by industry insider only a week before his death , pun detailed that his approach on yeeeah baby was not as " hardcore " as his previous album capital punishment , in an attempt to reach out to an even wider fanbase than his debut album already had .

The article discusses Big Pun, a Latino rapper who rose to fame in the late 1990s. His posthumous album "Yeeeah Baby" was released in 2000, and it showcases his unique style, which blends salsa-infused hip-hop with hardcore lyrics. Despite his untimely death, Big Pun's legacy continues to inspire new generations of rappers.

alexander kan ’ s liners do a good job of setting the stage occupied by these pre - perestroika musicians ; he recounts scenes that read like lecarre . and indeed the strongest impression of this music is its urgency . cliched reflections about the tormented russian anima are almost unavoidable , but the fact is that music has great immediacy for people in times of crisis ; i have seen it in such unromantic settings as an raf base on the eve of the falklands gambit . this urgency is what compels vyacheslav ganelin ( piano , various instruments ) , vladimir tarasov ( percussion ) and vladimir chekasin ( saxes , various ) to free improvisations of sustained focus and intensity at live sets recorded in leningrad and west berlin . the latter appearance greatly impressed the western critics , and the music stands up well . these men are playing for their lives , and have no time to worry about whether this or that transition might be difficult . as a result potential pitfalls vanish into thin air as they achieve a kind of mobility rare outside of sun ra and a freedom that must have been sweet indeed . leslie odom , jr . : from “ hamilton ” to newport , monterey and beyond berklee beantown jazz festival returns to boston on sept . 30 © 1999 – 2017 jazztimes , inc . all rights reserved .

the penguin guide to jazz identified the album as part of their suggested " core collection " of essential jazz albums and awarded the compilation a " crown " signifying a recording that the authors " feel a special admiration or affection for " . the allmusic review by william york stated " ancora da capo has a rare balance of form and freedom , wildness and restraint that makes it continually surprising ( at times even jarringly so ) as well as remarkably durable in terms of repeated listening " . jazztimes ' duck baker noted " the music stands up well . these men are playing for their lives , and have no time to worry about whether this or that transition might be difficult . as a result potential pitfalls vanish into thin air as they achieve a kind of mobility rare outside of sun ra and a freedom that must have been sweet indeed " . perfect sound forever ' s steve kulak said " those lucky enough to be there would no doubt have witnessed first hand what was meant by " an insanely accelerated history of jazz . " the music can be approached as one extended composition , or as a series of scenes , although it may seem odd to speak of scenes in a work where hearing and sound prevail . yet hearing , together with vision , is the second sense that brings us knowledge from afar . and those who were there to see and hear the trio were . . . astonished " .

The music received high praise from Western critics, particularly for its sense of urgency and intensity.

you know that a producer has become a star in his own right when he ' s given a contract to put out an album under his own name - - but , really , if any producer deserved his own vanity project in 2007 , it ' s mark ronson , the man behind much of the two best british pop albums in 2006 , lily allen ' s alright , still and amy winehouse ' s back to black . ronson , of course , had been a fixture in the n . y . c . and london dj scenes long before this , and had even released an album called here comes the fuzz in 2003 that found him enlisting a cast of american hipsters - - everyone from ghostface killah and mos def to rivers cuomo , jack white , and saturday night live comedian jimmy fallon - - to front tracks he crafted . ronson keeps that same blueprint for his second album , version , but he sets his sights on the u . k . , the country that finally turned him into a star thanks to those allen and winehouse productions , bringing in lily and amy and a parade of modern brit stars to sing over his tracks . this time around , ronson has ginned up the original concept with a better concept : to cover a bunch of contemporary british pop classics and modern hits , ranging from the jam ' s " pretty green " to maxïmo park ' s " apply some pressure . " all of the tunes have been run through ronson ' s grinder , turning them into splashy , clever , but not - quite - campy blends of old - school hip - hop , ' 60s soul ( equal parts motown and stax ) , postmodern pop , and classic kitsch , so it sounds like a modern update on a late - ' 60s variety show . since ronson has a distinct musical viewpoint - - one that ' s heavy on style , of course ; one that ' s designed for club play but emphasizes melody and feel over beats - - version holds together as a proper album , but that ' s primarily because ronson turns everything into a soundtrack for an absurd retro - fantasia of a northern soul club , one where the tamla beat never stops pounding even as it morphs into rolling hip - hop loops , one where the horns never stop blaring , one where the pop hooks are as prominent as the groove . whether you ' re into club music or pop , it ' s easy to be seduced by ronson ' s fantasy , and version sure is fun as it plays the first time through , and several of his reinventions are giddy , devious delights , as when he finally injects some humor into coldplay by turning " god put a smile upon your face " into an instrumental fueled by the daptone horns , or doing a similar deed to radiohead ' s " just " ( here sung by phantom planet ) , or how the smiths ' " stop me if you think you ' ve heard this one before " is turned into a soul medley with the supremes ' " you keep me hangin ' on " as sung by daniel merriweather . that latter track in particular is a neat trick , but it ' s like the bulk of version in microcosm : the imagination and skill is dazzling at first but subsequent spins reveal it as more style than substance , particularly because merriweather isn ' t a sensitive interpreter and his affectless delivery becomes grating upon repeated plays , turning this into a shallow display of production virtuosity . too much of version is like this - - great ideas shackled by bland vocalists - - to make it a lasting pleasure , but in the moment it ' s a great party record anchored by two brilliant moments : lily allen ' s take on the kaiser chiefs ' " oh my god " and amy winehouse ' s flat - out stupendous reworking of the zutons ' " valerie , " which turns it into a lost motown classic . not for nothing are these two highlights from the artists who made mark ronson a star - - not only do their aesthetics match his , but they ' re the only ones with enough charisma to overpower his showy tracks and make them into their own . both appear on his second album , which , reasonably enough , sees ronson largely abandoning rap . in its place comes the musical formula that served him so well on winehouse ' s hit single rehab - an affectionate pastiche of a 60s soul revue ' s brass - laden sound . as the album ' s title suggests , the formula is applied to cover versions of unlikely alt - rock tracks , as heard on its lead - off singles : a version of radiohead ' s just that ' s both funkier and more spine - tingling than you would expect any record involving a guest vocal from ho - hum la rockers phantom planet to be , and a more problematic cover of the smiths ' stop me if you think that you ' ve heard this one before . despite jay - z ' s approval , ronson has , perhaps understandably , remained a marginal figure in the rap world . his debut solo album , 2003 ' s here comes the fuzz , abounded with 70s funk samples and guest appearances from ghostface killah , mos def and q - tip , but bombed . he co - produced rhymefest ' s excellent debut album blue collar , but its release coincided with a huge downturn in hip - hop ' s fortunes and also sold disappointingly . he really hit commercial paydirt in the world of gobby , femme - fronted british pop , working on lily allen ' s alright , still and amy winehouse ' s back to black . it sounds great until you hear vocalist daniel merriweather delivering the lyrics without a flicker of irony : a problem when the lyrics include the line " the pain was enough to make a shy , bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder " . meanwhile , the album ' s solitary nod to hip - hop , a couple of posthumous verses from ol ' dirty bastard on a version of britney spears ' toxic , strikes a bum note . " i gotta go home and take my medication , so i don ' t go back to the police station , " offers odb , but it sounds ineffably depressing in light of his horrible final years and miserable end . our take on the ninth album from dave grohl and co . our take on ' shade , ' the sixth album from the genre - crossing alt - metal veterans . a 2cd live album recorded at the marillion weekend at center parcs , port zelande , netherlands , 22 march 2015 . occasionally , the combination of parping horns with perky indie melodies means the sound slips its moorings and drifts into another genre entirely : the kind of jolly , vaguely saucy - sounding easy listening found on the soundtracks of 70s sex comedies . in ronson ' s hands , maximo park ' s apply some pressure sounds like something you ' d hear playing in the background while robin askwith judges a beauty competition with a surfeit of lascivious gurns , winks and remarks about bristols : whether this hopelessly undercuts or amplifies the hint of existential despair in the lyrics is surely a moot point . more bizarre still , something about his instrumental version of coldplay ' s god put a smile on your face inexorably recalls the theme music to the benny hill show . listening to it , you ' re assailed by the not entirely displeasing mental image of chris martin chasing a scantily - clad woman around a tree , then being vigorously slapped on the head . it ' s one of a few moments on version where the listener ends up laughing , then wondering if ronson is in on the joke . more often , however , the formula works perfectly . ryan adams ' amy is beautifully recast somewhere between lush psychedelic soul and trundling baggy . in contrast to his take on stop me . . . ronson ' s version of pretty green suggests ears finely attuned to the possibilities of a lyric : as a kind of playground chant , it sounds infinitely more ambiguous and less po - faced than the jam ' s original . amy winehouse ' s reading of the zutons ' valerie as a wigan casino stomper is a triumph . she chooses not to amend the song to accommodate the change in vocalist ' s gender . in fact , the lyrics are pretty vague : were it being sung by lily allen or one of the sugababes , it would simply be transformed from a lovelorn , sexually frustrated lament into a song bewailing the end of a friendship . but there ' s something about winehouse ' s voice - a sleazy urgency , a knowingly suggestive crackle - that implies she ' s mourning the loss of something more lubricious than the odd girly night in watching ugly betty . to hear the zutons ' trad - rock and think that it might work reinvented as sapphic northern soul takes a certain kind of wild imagination . but at its best that is precisely what version implies : that the producer behind it has an imagination as unique and unlikely as his path to success . back in the ' hood , the countess sharon sondes should be proud . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . update requiredto play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your flash plugin . friday 13 april 2007 18 . 59 edt first published on friday 13 april 2007 18 . 59 edt hip -

The article discusses Mark Ronson's album "Version" and its reception. The album features covers of British pop classics, and Ronson's production style is praised for its creativity and flair. However, some critics argue that the album lacks substance and is overly reliant on style over substance.

i am . . . is the fourth full - length studio album by j - pop singer ayumi hamasaki , released on january 1 , 2002 in japan . the album marked an evolution in hamasaki ' s lyrical and musical style : hamasaki began to move away from the themes of " loneliness and confusion " that had marked her previous albums and began to incorporate elements of rock music in her songs . i am . . . was a commercial success , both in japan ( selling over 2 million copies ) and in other asian countries . in singapore , i am . . . sold over 10 , 000 copies , unusual for a japanese album . - secret is the eighth studio album by japanese pop singer - songwriter ayumi hamasaki , released by avex trax on november 29 , 2006 in japan . hamasaki herself wrote all of the album ' s lyrics . the album has debuted high on charts across asia and has gone triple platinum in japan alone . secret received an " album of the year award " at the japan gold disc awards and its title track received the award for " japanese song of the year " at the rthk international awards in hong kong . it was also the 22nd best selling album of 2006 according to the oricon . the meaning behind the title ' secret ' is that the album is literally a secret . hamasaki has named it ' secret ' , so that people might think " that ' s one of my secrets " or " when i hear this song , i think i know her secret . " people are able to relate to hamasaki ' s ' secret ' to see if they are similar or the same , and this is how hamasaki wants people to listen to her album - guilty is the ninth studio album ( tenth overall ) by japanese pop singer - songwriter ayumi hamasaki , released by avex trax on january 1 , 2008 in japan . hamasaki herself wrote all lyrics of the album , which went to sell over 400 , 000 copies its first two weeks of release . two weeks after its release avex announced over 750 , 000 copies of guilty have been shipped to stores . according to oricon ' s 2008 album chart , guilty is the 17th highest selling album by far and the sixth highest selling album by a female artist . guilty is the third highest selling japanese album in taiwan of 2008 . hamasaki ' s official website announced on march 17 , 2008 that guilty would be released digitally in over 26 countries worldwide , a first for any japanese artist . the album will be digitally released in north america , oceania , europe as well as asian countries where the physical version of the album is already released in apple itunes stores . this is officially hamasaki ' s first release outside asia . - rainbow is the fifth studio album by ayumi hamasaki . it was released on december 18 , 2002 , less than a year after i am . . . to date rainbow has sold over 1 , 858 , 000 copies and is the 89th best selling album in japan . initial pressings of the album had an extra track , " rainbow " , listed for track 00 and contained a password to a website . as a promotion for the album , the track was not included on the cd , but part of the instrumental version was released to the password - only website that was open for a limited time where fans could submit their own lyrics . - my story is ayumi hamasaki ' s sixth full - length studio album produced by max matsuura . it was released on december 15 , 2004 . for promotional purposes , ayumi hamasaki arena tour 2005 a : my story was scheduled from january to april . during the concert tour , my story was released again in two more formats , sacd and in dvd audio . all of the lyrics on the album were written by hamasaki and three of the tracks , " wonderland " , " winding road " and " humming 7 / 4 " , were composed by her under the pen name " crea " . it topped the oricon charts for several weeks ( the japanese equivalent of billboard ) . it is currently certified four times platinum in japan , and triple platinum worldwide . my story is hamasaki ' s last album to sell over a million units . my story is also the 222nd best selling album in japan to date . - a song for xx was ayumi hamasaki ' s debut album on a major label . though the official release date was january 1 , 1999 , the album was sold in the record stores since mid - december . to the surprise of many critics , the album debuted at the top position of the oricon charts and topped the chart for five weeks , a remarkable feat for a debut album . the album debuted at # 1 with more than 548 , 210 copies sold . this was mainly because a song for xx debut sales was the first and second week sales combined ( oricon only has 51 weeks instead of 52 ) . the album stayed on the charts for 63 weeks and eventually went on to sell more than a million copies . as of 2008 , a song for xx is the japan ' s 139th best selling album of all time . the title a song for xx refers to hamasaki ' s estranged father , whom she never knew . the title track refers to hamasaki ' s move from fukuoka to tokyo . - sapphirewhirlwind for those of you who already know by now , ayumi hamasaki has been in the japanese music industry for more than a decade and with every year she releases an album that is both commercially successful and artistically heartfelt . in anticipation of her 11th studio album aptly titled " rock ' n ' roll circus " , i have decided to create a poll in which you will decide as to which among her 10 studio albums prior to " rock ' n ' roll circus " is her most beautiful piece of musical work . loveppears ( sometimes labeled love appears ) is ayumi hamasaki ' s second studio album . following the trend of the time , remixes of the songs from loveppears were released on a second disc . " loveppears " sold 1 , 201 , 870 copies in its debut week . like hamasaki ' s debut album , loveppears also topped the oricon and stayed on the charts for 64 weeks . loveppears is the 39th best selling album in japan of all time . - i have also taken the liberty of putting some extra detail for each album for your sake . enjoy ! my favourite ayu album . ayu is the best singer in the japan . l love you my queen see the lyrics of a song for xx yourself it ' s great and the orchestra version is great . . . ( miss ) understood is my favorite , with a song for xx and loveappears trailing close behind . a great mix of rock and mid - tempo ballads . rainy day and heaven are the best songs from this one , in my opinion . see a factual error in these listings ? report it here . © 2005 - 2017 thetoptens ® all rights reserved .

i am . . . was released on new years day ( january 1 ) , 2002 via avex trax and their taiwan - based headquarters . it was distributed in two physical formats — a standard cd and playbutton — and for digital consumption . according to hamasaki , the original promotional photography had been photographed by toru kumazawa , noted to be a lot " darker " than her previous work with him . however , after the singer ' s change of theme and direction due to the september 11 attacks , she organised another shoot with kumazawa . the second round of photography depicted hamasaki in an outfit covered in leaves and vines . she placed a dove on her shoulder for the shot , as a symbolic message of peace and hope . the cd version included a 24 - page booklet that featured shots of hamasaki in a desert , whilst an additional lyrical booklet came with it . regarding the change , where she labelled it a " peace muse " , she explained ; i had a completely different idea for the cover at first . we ' d already reserved the space , decided the hair and makeup and everything . but after the incident , as is typical of me , i suddenly changed my mind . i knew it wasn ' t the time for gaudiness , for elaborate sets and costumes . it sounds odd coming from me , but i realize what i say and how i look has a great impact .

the second lineup of the kingston trio - - john stewart , nick reynolds , and bob shane - - cut this live album in 1966 , just before they disbanded . they knew they were calling it quits , so they recorded most of their three - week gig at the sahara tahoe hotel for a farewell album . their label at the time , decca , wasn ' t interested in releasing it , despite the almost million - dollar advance they gave the kingston trio only four years earlier . the original farewell set , once upon a time , was released on tetragrammaton in 1969 and charted briefly before vanishing to become the most sought - after album in the band ' s oeuvre . this 24 - song set was recorded during the same run and is marked by an amazing in - yer - face digital mix . their playing is still top - notch , but the set list is almost identical to once upon a time . that said , twice includes two of the best stewart tunes from the group ' s latter years , " hit and run " and " the spinnin ' of the world , " as well as a bonus dvd track of dylan ' s " tomorrow is a long time . " two hits that didn ' t fit onto once upon a time are here as well - - " the merry minuet " and " little maggie " - - but the rest of the numbers are also included on the once disc , making twice upon a time for die - hard collectors only . but there were also a good number of covers of contemporary folk singer - songwriters , including bob gibson ( " yes i see " ) and john stewart ( " road to freedom " ) . the group had been friendly for some time with stewart , who had replaced dave guard in the kingston trio , and according to yester , " it was between chip and john stewart as to who was gonna replace dave guard . so they flew him over , but john was a little more experienced and was a really good writer , so he had the edge on chip . henry knew john stewart too ; he ' s been very close with john for years . so i think john approached us about the song . i think that may have been , actually , the first thing we worked up after i joined . " furthering the kingston trio connection was a cover of ervin drake ' s " it was a very good year , " which the kingston trio had recorded a couple of years previously , and which frank sinatra would make into a hit in 1966 , as faryar laughs : " it always was kind of a personal amusement to me , and an entertainment , that that became such a hit for sinatra . but who better else , you know , than this , like , wrinkled warrior ? i mean , you can listen to frank and believe it . four young guys , you ' re thinking , what ? " the roots of the modern folk quartet extend back to honolulu in the early 1960s , where faryar ran the greensleeves coffeehouse . it was there that he met douglas ( then working with his own trio ) and diltz , who worked for cyrus at the establishment . after it shut down faryar joined dave guard and the whiskeyhill singers , guard having just left the phenomenally popular kingston trio to form his own group . that band , also including a young judy henske , cut just one self - titled album ( reissued on cd by collectors ' choice music ) before splitting . faryar returned to hawaii to find douglas , diltz , and stan white playing as a trio , soon joining up himself before the quartet ended up in los angeles by way of san francisco . also of note was what may have been the first released cover of a dino valenti song , " pennies " ( credited to valenti ' s birth name , chester powers ) . a friend of the mfq , valenti would become most famous as the author of " get together , " covered by many artists , including jefferson airplane and the youngbloods , who had a top five single with it in 1969 . another song on the album , " sassafras , " was recommended to yester " by dick rosmini , who was very influential on the sidelines . he was an amazing 12 - string guitar player , fingerpicker , and banjo player , had a great sense of material , and a wonderful singing voice . " what ' s more , a song rosmini recommended that jerry show judy henske , " high flying bird , " became a proto - folk - rock classic when henske recorded it on her second album in 1963 . rosmini , valenti , and more covers of blooming singer - songwriters would all figure into the modern folk quartet ' s next album , changes - - a story continued on the liner notes to that album , also reissued on cd by collectors ' choice music . - - richie unterberger in cyrus ' s estimation , the repertoire of songs chosen for the album " was half performance material , and a certain percentage of material which we studied and generated for the album , [ and ] incorporated into our act . it was just on the cusp of that time when the a & r men told you what to wear , what to think , how to sing it . but because folk music was a little bit individualized , we were able to basically define our own playlist .

allmusic critic bruce eder praised the live album , citing individual songs , and writing " tetragrammaton folded in the early ' 70s , and the resulting double lp is one of the rarest in the kingston trio ' s output , which is sad - - the best of their concert recordings since those renowned live recordings of 1958 , it captured the group ranging freely across its history and the folk landscape . . . if there is a flaw here . . . it is the result of a desire not to repeat too much material off of the group ' s earlier concert albums . . . in any case , the resulting 72 - minute album runs circles around their last live album for capitol ( back in town ) , as well as most of their late capitol work and a lot of their decca sides , and it ' s worth tracking down . "

The Modern Folk Quartet's album "Twice Upon a Time" received positive reviews, with critics praising the group's tight harmonies and eclectic selection of songs.

history

album

the second lineup of the kingston trio - - john stewart , nick reynolds , and bob shane - - cut this live album in 1966 , just before they disbanded . they knew they were calling it quits , so they recorded most of their three - week gig at the sahara tahoe hotel for a farewell album . their label at the time , decca , wasn ' t interested in releasing it , despite the almost million - dollar advance they gave the kingston trio only four years earlier . the original farewell set , once upon a time , was released on tetragrammaton in 1969 and charted briefly before vanishing to become the most sought - after album in the band ' s oeuvre . this 24 - song set was recorded during the same run and is marked by an amazing in - yer - face digital mix . their playing is still top - notch , but the set list is almost identical to once upon a time . that said , twice includes two of the best stewart tunes from the group ' s latter years , " hit and run " and " the spinnin ' of the world , " as well as a bonus dvd track of dylan ' s " tomorrow is a long time . " two hits that didn ' t fit onto once upon a time are here as well - - " the merry minuet " and " little maggie " - - but the rest of the numbers are also included on the once disc , making twice upon a time for die - hard collectors only . but there were also a good number of covers of contemporary folk singer - songwriters , including bob gibson ( " yes i see " ) and john stewart ( " road to freedom " ) . the group had been friendly for some time with stewart , who had replaced dave guard in the kingston trio , and according to yester , " it was between chip and john stewart as to who was gonna replace dave guard . so they flew him over , but john was a little more experienced and was a really good writer , so he had the edge on chip . henry knew john stewart too ; he ' s been very close with john for years . so i think john approached us about the song . i think that may have been , actually , the first thing we worked up after i joined . " furthering the kingston trio connection was a cover of ervin drake ' s " it was a very good year , " which the kingston trio had recorded a couple of years previously , and which frank sinatra would make into a hit in 1966 , as faryar laughs : " it always was kind of a personal amusement to me , and an entertainment , that that became such a hit for sinatra . but who better else , you know , than this , like , wrinkled warrior ? i mean , you can listen to frank and believe it . four young guys , you ' re thinking , what ? " the roots of the modern folk quartet extend back to honolulu in the early 1960s , where faryar ran the greensleeves coffeehouse . it was there that he met douglas ( then working with his own trio ) and diltz , who worked for cyrus at the establishment . after it shut down faryar joined dave guard and the whiskeyhill singers , guard having just left the phenomenally popular kingston trio to form his own group . that band , also including a young judy henske , cut just one self - titled album ( reissued on cd by collectors ' choice music ) before splitting . faryar returned to hawaii to find douglas , diltz , and stan white playing as a trio , soon joining up himself before the quartet ended up in los angeles by way of san francisco . also of note was what may have been the first released cover of a dino valenti song , " pennies " ( credited to valenti ' s birth name , chester powers ) . a friend of the mfq , valenti would become most famous as the author of " get together , " covered by many artists , including jefferson airplane and the youngbloods , who had a top five single with it in 1969 . another song on the album , " sassafras , " was recommended to yester " by dick rosmini , who was very influential on the sidelines . he was an amazing 12 - string guitar player , fingerpicker , and banjo player , had a great sense of material , and a wonderful singing voice . " what ' s more , a song rosmini recommended that jerry show judy henske , " high flying bird , " became a proto - folk - rock classic when henske recorded it on her second album in 1963 . rosmini , valenti , and more covers of blooming singer - songwriters would all figure into the modern folk quartet ' s next album , changes - - a story continued on the liner notes to that album , also reissued on cd by collectors ' choice music . - - richie unterberger in cyrus ' s estimation , the repertoire of songs chosen for the album " was half performance material , and a certain percentage of material which we studied and generated for the album , [ and ] incorporated into our act . it was just on the cusp of that time when the a & r men told you what to wear , what to think , how to sing it . but because folk music was a little bit individualized , we were able to basically define our own playlist . " the dozen tracks did include a few adaptations of traditional tunes , such as their live favorite " ox driver , " which faryar says " was a big powerhouse for us . " adds yester , " the first time i heard ' the ox driver song , ' it just sliced my brain in half . i thought , that ' s the best thing i ' ve ever heard , the use of voices .

but what made prince of persia so unique was how it played with time as a game mechanic . the games were known for letting you rewind time at any point in the game . you had charges so it couldn ’ t abused , but it was a fun way to mix up the usual third person gameplay . games in line down the series continued to add on mechanics but the way prince of persia played with time was the main reason people were drawn to the game . it ’ s been too long since we ’ ve gotten a fun prince of persia game and i believe it ’ s time that ubisoft bring the series back in the fold . but since assassin ’ s creed took its place , how does ubisoft do that ? there are several ways that still allow them to keep the core of prince of persia and what made it fun . the perfectly sane show ep . 359 : chris disappears for a minute → the perfectly sane show ep . 310 : e3 day zero – pc , ubisoft , and sony → the perfectly sane show ep . 374 : the destiny of metroid september 17th | by chris scott the perfectly sane show ep . 373 : destiny 2 september 8th | by chris scott the perfectly sane show ep . 372 : kingdom battle september 3rd | by chris scott the perfectly sane show ep . 371 : where is tony hawk ? august 25th | by chris scott australian underground rock legends the church see three of their early ep releases brought together onto one cd by emi on this 2001 release . features work dating from 1982 - 1984 . full title reads : " poles in persia " . various shots of small crowd of polish refugees on their way from poland to persia - they are walking through the desert . one family is picked out , the kowalski family - mother , father and four children . they carry bundles which are their only belongings . various shots of the refugees arriving at the special reception centre in persia . they are reunited with other migrants . they kiss and hug each other . the refugees giving their details to officials . clothes are delivered out to the needy . various shots of the refugees , including the kowalski family , refreshing at the refugee camp - tents seen around . they put on fresh clothes . montage of close up shots of the kowalskis walking , arriving to persia and walking in their brigades . amendment july 2016 : a visitor to the site has informed us about the following history of polish refugees in persia : thousands of poles were deported to the ussr in 1940 - 1 , after the red army invaded poland . following the outbreak of the soviet - german war in june 1941 , talks began between stalin and the polish government in exile . these concluded with the signing of the sikorski - mayski agreement ( 30 july 1941 ) . in august 1941 , soviet authorities issued an “ amnesty ” decree for polish citizens . in terms of tone , there ’ s no need for it to be dark and grim , making it a bit lighter , put some pulp in it . depending on the game , the prince was a sarcastic dude . he cracked jokes and had an arrogant streak to him . have a little fun with it . setting it away from the time of the original games would give them space to do so much with the setting and aesthetic of the game . or maybe even have the game star a princess of persia . the other thing – and perhaps more important than setting – would be the structure . most ubisoft games nowadays are open world . they have a very specific formula that their games follow and it would imperative that prince of persia not follow this formula . open world games are overwhelming to a lot of people . so making it a linear , level based action game would go a long way in differentiating it from the rest of ubisoft ’ s line up and widen the gap between it and assassin ’ s creed . maybe there ’ s a space for something like a character action game in the vein of bayonetta or devil may cry . 2cd - cooking vinyl cook cd 248 ( australia ) - nov . 11 , 2002 2cd - cooking vinyl cook cd 248 ( uk ) - nov . 4 , 2002 2cd - thirsty ear thi 57126 . 2 ( usa ) - nov . 5 , 2002 2cd - true north / cooking vinyl tnd 292 ( canada ) - feb . 18 , 2003 all artwork for this release ( booklet , tray liner , and on discs ) show scenes from the sandro botticelli painting " alegoría de la primavera ( aka the allegory of spring ) ( 1477 - 78 ) ; 315 x 205 cm ( 10 ' 4 " x 6 ' 9 " ) ; painted for lorenzo di medici ' s villa di castello ; now in the galleria degli uffizi in florence . their description of the scene from this painting used on the cover : " . . . the zephyr wind can be seen , chasing clori , the nymph of nature , and making her fertile . " according to one description of this painting , " zephyr , the warm wind of spring , embraces the roman goddess flora , or perhaps the earth nymph chloris , disphanously clad and running from his amorous clasp . she is shown at the moment of her metamorphosis into flora , as her breath turns to flowers which take root over the countryside . " appropriately titled " parallel universe " , the double album , with cd1 subtitled " remixture " , and cd2 , " mixture " , is a real treat for both new listeners , old fans , and collectors alike . at this point in their career , the church have happily , realistically and modestly abandoned all hope of repeating the success of " milky way " , but their self - styled freedom from the burden of expectations allows them to fashion and make music as they desire and see fit , without regard for current trend or the market , trusting in the traditional virtues of talent , chemistry and good taste to guide them , the essence of an approach that has served them well for over twenty years . as one critic stated , their " timeless , placeless songs hang in the air with a humid presence , like half remembered objects , mysterious and inviting . " various shots of the refugees eating in a large mess tent . several shots of some polish folk dancing . the family strolling around the camp and sitting around - mrs kowalski doing some needlework while mr kowalski reads newspaper . several shots of the refugees at open - air religious service . camp commandant speaks to the refugees and tells of the need for able people in the fight . the father , eldest son and daughter pick up their bags and leave mrs kowalski - father and son kiss the children and then kiss mother ' s hand . corps of women soldiers marching , amongst the ranks is the eldest daughter of the kowalski family . the son and the father in the ranks of the army . various shots showing mrs kowalski busy at work in the refugee camp . the two youngest children are seen at open - air school . the polish - soviet agreement enabled the polish embassy to resume operations , and gave polish people an opportunity to leave their places of exile . moreover , it created a legal basis for the formation of the polish army in the ussr , under the command of gen . wladyslaw anders ( hence the name anders ’ army ) . the army was a component of the polish armed forces , subordinate to the government in london . the polish army ( app . 76 , 000 people ) was evacuated to iran in 1942 , along with around 40 , 000 polish civilians . it was then that settlements were created for the civilians in africa , iran , india , palestine , mexico and new zealand . we always welcome comments and more information about our films . all posts are reactively checked . libellous and abusive comments are forbidden . please register or log in to add a comment . explore the new online home of heritage , full of great documentaries , fascinating interviews , and classic movies - all on demand . our selection of films for use by news editors and journalists in coverage of important anniversaries , current events or trending topics . if you are a media professional and have seen some footage or stills you wish to include in your production , click the link to get in touch with us . sailors in the north atlantic fire guns at icebergs to break them up . british and polish paratroopers practice invasion tactics . american soldiers capture nazi arctic bases . leader of a polish opposition party leaves the country in fear of his life . commander byrd takes a first flight in his tri - motored plane before his antarctic expedition . captain amundsen returns safely after being lost for 28 days during flight to north pole . admiral byrd explains his plan for exploring antarctica . troops from poland and czechoslovakia arrive in britain ready to carry on the fight . american submarine skate arrives at the north pole . to commemorate the centenary of the conflict , we have launched this definitive collection of ww1 films , created from our comprehensive war archive . a comprehensive collection selected by british pathé of the key events that took place in world war two . a hand - picked selection of 91 still images from the queen ' s 91 years and her record - breaking reign . forget about the brad pitts and leonardo dicaprios of today . take a look at the original hollywood hunks ! private ufos , flying bicycles , motorised wheels - the archive is awash with fabulous films of creative inventions . british pathé captured many extraordinary and tragic events over its 80 year history . warning : in _ array ( ) expects parameter 2 to be array , string given in / home2 / csane / public _ html / wp - content / plugins / wordpress - mobile - pack / frontend / sections / show - rel . php on line 37 first off , i think that taking it into the modern day , or maybe in the 1900 ’ s , would be a smart move . give it a little dash of urban fantasy and you have something interesting , akin to the mix of realism and magic that movies like the mummy had . even if you bring it into the 2000 ’ s , setting it in somewhere like egypt would make it unique . it ’ s a region that very few games have explored . even assassin ’ s creed hasn ’ t gone there yet ( though there are rumors they could be headed there in its next game ) . sorry , your blog cannot share posts by email . allmusic relies heavily on javascript . please enable javascript in your browser to use the site fully .

evan cater of allmusic observed that " it manages to draw from the best qualities of neo - psycheldelia and pop - rock without succumbing to the genres ' respective pitfalls . it is atmospheric without being spacey or formless , catchy without being superficial , and mellow without being lethargic " . australian musicologist ian mcfarlane deemed it " excellent " , noting that it " yielded such radiant church moments as ' constant in opal ' and ' shadow cabinet ' " .

The text discusses the Prince of Persia game series, which has been dormant for several years. The author argues that it's time for Ubisoft to revive the series, especially since Assassin's Creed is taking a break. The article highlights the unique gameplay mechanics of Prince of Persia, such as rewinding time, and suggests that a new game could incorporate a lighter tone and a more linear, level-based design.

blue remembered hills tree oil history iran history ok commande ok commande eve iran ( ep . 3 ) ruins and refugees ( ep . 3 ) poland beaten ( ep . 3 ) families flee all over europe ( ep . 3 ) polish countryside eeeg2 def women and ww2 family reunions refugees polish bread line iran petrolume archival mioh march 2016 ww2 : poland polish history iran schools prince of persia hasn ’ t seen the light of day for several years . for starters , the last game in the series was in 2010 . the game was forgotten sands , which was time right around the movie ’ s release . the game before that was the divisive 2008 prince of persia . for those who might not remember , that was the game with the completely new art style and you couldn ’ t actually die in the game . to say that game ’ s reception was all over the place would be an understatement . so in terms of “ normal ” prince of persia games , the last one put out by ubisoft was 2005 ’ s the two thrones . nowadays there has been very little movement in the franchise . ever since assassin ’ s creed became popular , it kind of took over prince of persia ’ s slot as ubisoft ’ s “ historical fiction ” franchise . one could say that there was no longer a need for prince of persia . after all , not only did assassin ’ s creed ape its setting and style , it also mimicked its gameplay . the combat and parkour from assassin ’ s creed are very similar to the last few prince of persia games we got . games like prince of persia and to a similar effect splinter cell – which i might be writing about soon – can continue to exist in ubisoft ’ s ever growing portfolio of open world games . there are still a huge amount of fans of the prince of persia franchise , who eagerly await the next entry in the franchise . the fear though , is that the series has gone into the beyond good and evil area of ubisoft , never to be seen or heard from again . but since assassin ’ s creed is more than likely going on break this year , perhaps this is finally the time to see a new prince of persia game ? but what made prince of persia so unique was how it played with time as a game mechanic . the games were known for letting you rewind time at any point in the game . you had charges so it couldn ’ t abused , but it was a fun way to mix up the usual third person gameplay . games in line down the series continued to add on mechanics but the way prince of persia played with time was the main reason people were drawn to the game . it ’ s been too long since we ’ ve gotten a fun prince of persia game and i believe it ’ s time that ubisoft bring the series back in the fold . but since assassin ’ s creed took its place , how does ubisoft do that ? there are several ways that still allow them to keep the core of prince of persia and what made it fun . the perfectly sane show ep . 359 : chris disappears for a minute → the perfectly sane show ep . 310 : e3 day zero – pc , ubisoft , and sony → the perfectly sane show ep . 374 : the destiny of metroid september 17th | by chris scott the perfectly sane show ep . 373 : destiny 2 september 8th | by chris scott the perfectly sane show ep . 372 : kingdom battle september 3rd | by chris scott the perfectly sane show ep . 371 : where is tony hawk ? august 25th | by chris scott australian underground rock legends the church see three of their early ep releases brought together onto one cd by emi on this 2001 release . features work dating from 1982 - 1984 . full title reads : " poles in persia " . various shots of small crowd of polish refugees on their way from poland to persia - they are walking through the desert . one family is picked out , the kowalski family - mother , father and four children . they carry bundles which are their only belongings . various shots of the refugees arriving at the special reception centre in persia . they are reunited with other migrants . they kiss and hug each other . the refugees giving their details to officials . clothes are delivered out to the needy . various shots of the refugees , including the kowalski family , refreshing at the refugee camp - tents seen around . they put on fresh clothes . montage of close up shots of the kowalskis walking , arriving to persia and walking in their brigades . amendment july 2016 : a visitor to the site has informed us about the following history of polish refugees in persia : thousands of poles were deported to the ussr in 1940 - 1 , after the red army invaded poland . following the outbreak of the soviet - german war in june 1941 , talks began between stalin and the polish government in exile . these concluded with the signing of the sikorski - mayski agreement ( 30 july 1941 ) . in august 1941 , soviet authorities issued an “ amnesty ” decree for polish citizens . in terms of tone , there ’ s no need for it to be dark and grim , making it a bit lighter , put some pulp in it . depending on the game , the prince was a sarcastic dude . he cracked jokes and had an arrogant streak to him . have a little fun with it . setting it away from the time of the original games would give them space to do so much with the setting and aesthetic of the game . or maybe even have the game star a princess of persia . the other thing – and perhaps more important than setting – would be the structure . most ubisoft games nowadays are open world . they have a very specific formula that their games follow and it would imperative that prince of persia not follow this formula . open world games are overwhelming to a lot of people . so making it a linear , level based action game would go a long way in differentiating it from the rest of ubisoft ’ s line up and widen the gap between it and assassin ’ s creed . maybe there ’ s a space for something like a character action game in the vein of bayonetta or devil may cry . 2cd - cooking vinyl cook cd 248 ( australia ) - nov . 11 , 2002 2cd - cooking vinyl cook cd 248 ( uk ) - nov . 4 , 2002 2cd - thirsty ear thi 57126 . 2 ( usa ) - nov . 5 , 2002 2cd - true north / cooking vinyl tnd 292 ( canada ) - feb . 18 , 2003 all artwork for this release ( booklet , tray liner , and on discs ) show scenes from the sandro botticelli painting " alegoría de la primavera ( aka the allegory of spring ) ( 1477 - 78 ) ; 315 x 205 cm ( 10 ' 4 " x 6 ' 9 " ) ; painted for lorenzo di medici ' s villa di castello ; now in the galleria degli uffizi in florence . their description of the scene from this painting used on the cover : " . . . the zephyr wind can be seen , chasing clori , the nymph of nature , and making her fertile .

" appropriately titled " parallel universe " , the double album , with cd1 subtitled " remixture " , and cd2 , " mixture " , is a real treat for both new listeners , old fans , and collectors alike . at this point in their career , the church have happily , realistically and modestly abandoned all hope of repeating the success of " milky way " , but their self - styled freedom from the burden of expectations allows them to fashion and make music as they desire and see fit , without regard for current trend or the market , trusting in the traditional virtues of talent , chemistry and good taste to guide them , the essence of an approach that has served them well for over twenty years . as one critic stated , their " timeless , placeless songs hang in the air with a humid presence , like half remembered objects , mysterious and inviting .

The text discusses the history of Prince of Persia, a video game series. It mentions that the last game in the series was released in 2010 and that there has been little movement in the franchise since then. The author suggests that Ubisoft, the developer of the series, could revive the franchise by incorporating new gameplay mechanics and settings. They also mention that the series' unique time-manipulation mechanic could be updated to appeal to modern gamers. Additionally, the author notes that the series' protagonist, the Prince, was known for his sarcastic humor and arrogance, and that these traits could be retained in a modern reboot.

gerard mora gave an interview to outburn , where he was asked " how has being a christian metalcore band helped or hurt , and are you trying to avoid that label this time around ? " , while his response was the following : our band has always been a christian band , and i ' ve always believed that if you ' re a christian , that should influence every aspect of your life . i felt like i had a moral obligation to write lyrics from a christian perspective to bring positivity into people ' s lives . as far as this record goes , darkness divided is more secular . we wanted it to be more relatable to people who weren ' t christians . we want them to start asking the big questions about why they believe the things they believe in . regardless of what you believe , you have to question your belief ' s at some point . so , yeah , this is a christian record , but it ' s an invitation to people , not something we ' re forcing on anyone . we don ' t want to offend or ostracize anyone . we want to welcome them . —  gerard mora , outburn

i ’ m sorry , i got distracted . conferences are full of hostile students who are fighting for recognition at the expense of friendship and cooperation . competition for grades leaves no room for collaboration . also no one in conferences goes , ‘ hey ! are you the meme man ? good job on the memes , man ! ’ or similarly clever ways of congratulating someone for being really creative and a meme - master . mcgall is full of hostile students , did i mention that the students were hostile and not friendly ? there is no larger campus culture . i know we are a large diverse campus unwilling to coalesce around a scandal - ridden oppressive sports culture like schools in the united states . but how about memes ? have we tried that ? what if we all came together to laugh at memes ? like memes were football ? or religion ? what if we all worshipped memes ? i have a really funny one about snowfall which uses a picture of a frog . it ’ s a really good image macro , we can worship it . okay ? oh . alright , that ’ s cool , yeah we don ’ t have to do that . i was totally joking , i was so joking i am going to make an image macro of a cat with what i am saying over it . emoji first emerged in japan in the 1990s as a way for people to quickly communicate through visual information . they ’ ve become mainstream around the world thanks in part to the rise of smartphones and social media platforms . china is a case in point . the country is known for generating creative , peculiar internet memes — ones sometimes deployed to subtly mock authorities . people there have also developed a system for using emoji subversively , so that a smiley face can actually convey contempt . finally the students ’ headquarters of mcgall university ( shmu ) is just as hypocritical . they aren ’ t bilingual which somehow relates to my previous points . neither are mcgall memes , but it ’ s different because i had two or three memes which had french words in them . background : since the moon ’ s eyes are staring to its left , it creates a sense of skepticism . with a closed mouth that looks like a suppressed smile , the black and blurry moon face also carries a sense of mocking . the face was among the first releases of emoji documentation from unicode , a computing standard for consistent encoding symbols . chinese users can access the face in wechat after adding the optional emoji - only keyboard . when people ask me about my post - graduation plans , i often tell them that i am done with mcgall . for the past four years this university has been hostile and rude and highly dismissive . i am exasperated with this university and everything about it . mcgall is a school full of bureaucracy , grade deflation , and incredibly pretentious and hypocritical undergrads who don ’ t laugh at memes . background : the upper “ muscle movements ” here could explain why the face is considered less friendly and more hostile . “ if you take a closer look at the eyes , the orbicularis oculi ( the muscle near that upper eye corner ) does not move , and the orbicularis oris ( the one near the mouth ) tightens , which is a sign of suppressing a smile , ” notes an yong , a user on zhihu , china ’ s answer to quora . the answer has garnered some 16 , 000 likes ( link in chinese ) since last june . background : thanks to the smiley face , this is not a simple goodbye , but rather a mocking expression used to respond negatively to whatever one objects to . background : note the side - looking expression with the closed mouth . so pretentious , while simultaneously cute and innocent . this is more of a sticker than an emoji , meaning you ’ ll have to download it on your own , rather than access it from a keyboard . it hasn ’ t yet been added on wechat or ios , for instance , but it ’ s widely used on the internet . it originated from a japanese rescue dog named kabosu in 2008 . and it turns out those sneaky reddit users knew what they were talking about as the album is officially for sale , featuring the album title and cover art that was predicted . you can purchase the album here , along with an awesome science fiction shirt . today , reddit erupted with the news that fans were beginning to receive a perplexing brand new cd in the mail . reddit user xdarthbane says of the disc , " it has 1 song on it , it is 61 : 27 minutes long . the song is titled ' 44 . 5902n104 . 7146w . ' " ( fellow redditors quickly pointed out the song title ' s possibility as a geographic coordinate . ) the cd ' s packaging also contains quotes from stanley kubrick ' s 1968 sci - fi epic 2001 : a space odyssey . i mean come on guys , memes are really funny and critical . it ’ s like humour but with jokes you ’ ve heard before . you know like how people in the faculty of farts don ’ t get jobs , mcgall is cold , and disservice point has long lines . but all these ideas are put over funny pictures of animals and figures from pop culture . braniel daden is the creator , curator , and mastermind behind mcgall memes . am i satisfied with my mcgall experience ? no . when i graduate this spring , i will never entertain mcgall with my memes ever again . guidance : if you see this emoji , you might want to change the topic , or just keep your mouth shut . if you wish to retaliate sarcastically , consider sending back two waving hands . or just deploy  for a genius goodbye . on tuesday , brand new unexpectedly launched pre - orders for their long - awaited fifth album . the announcement showed no album title or other pertinent information apart from this very spartan inscription : " brand new , fifth album , vinyl / very limited . ships in october . " ( check out a timeline of events leading up to brand new ' s fifth album pre - order madness here . ) always stay up to date . sign up for the ap newsletter also the level of hypocrisy which characterizes campus media is sickening . not only do i not agree with my strawmen which i have constructed based on misperceptions of an article in the mcgall weekly , but also the campus media has such a skewed ratio of image to text . i mean how can you have legitimate discourse without more pictures ? also , i think the weekly and other media outlets should use impact . it ’ s such a great font . seventeen drops a track list for their new album , ' going seventeen ' | allkpop . com seventeen released a full track list for their third ep ' going seventeen . ' no “ congratulations ” for post malone ’ s stage diving . . . emarosa share poignant music video for “ blue : reimagined ” . . . brand new have now shared what their vinyl records will look like , and we can ' t wait for its october delivery . the chinese use emoji primarily on the nation ’ s two biggest social media platforms : weibo , with its 313 million monthly users , and wechat , with its 700 million . the emoji keyboards in these services offer symbols and a style different than what you ’ d find in , say , whatsapp . and , now , here he are : another new reddit thread has popped up with one user , parmersan , claiming that brand new ' s lp5 album title is science fiction . the redditor apparently ascertained the supposed lp5 moniker by using the music app shazam . it ' s all beginning to make sense now , right ? isn ' t it ? on the surface : a moon with a face , hiding in the shadow , according to emojipedia . background : the emoji has a frown and its eyes look to the right side , half - open . hopefully the above is useful . at the very least it should make you paranoid when communicating via emoji in china . elderly people in that country , if they use emoji at all , are prone to ( link in chinese ) taking a smiley face at , er , face value . at least you ’ ll know better now . internet theories are currently exploding after brand new mysteriously announced a new album this week . some sly reddit sleuthers now say they have the album title , cover art , and even some of the song titles figured out . the aforementioned reddit thread also presents what is purported to be science fiction ' s album cover art , uncovered via the same method of music - identifying - app investigating . check out that apparent cover art right here : after some internet - detective work on ap ' s part , we ' ve discovered that the above photograph is apparently the work of swedish photographer thobias fäldt , as seen here from a 2015 feature on website booooooom design . and some of the brand new science fiction song titles that redditors have seemingly figured out from their shazam internet sleuthing ? these include such apparent designations as " out of mana " and " in the water .

after playing several gigs augie march signed with rag records ( a rooart subsidiary ) distributed by bmg . the group ' s first extended play , thanks for the memes , was produced by victor van vugt and released in early 1998 . despite positive reviews it received little radio airplay . their drummer david williams told daniel zugna of beat magazine in march 2007 that he was surprised the band had been able to find a producer considering the obscure music on the ep , " we were these young punks who thought doing eight - minute songs was really hip and cool , and intellectual . "

The author expresses frustration with the hostile environment at McGill University, where students are more focused on competing with each other than collaborating. They suggest that embracing memes could bring people together and create a sense of community.

eight songs into no blues , gareth campesinos ! proudly states , “ béla guttmann of love / curse all of my exes to a life of celibacy . ” no one else in rock , hip - hop , or any genre is making that kind of boast , and the most advanced los campesinos ! fan will know exactly what gareth means by it . a solid los campesinos ! fan will suspect it ’ s a ( non - american ) football reference and have their assumptions confirmed after a quick google search . a casual los campesinos ! fan will only understand the second half of the line , as trying to invoke a supernatural hex on a former lover is a fairly common pastime in gareth ’ s lyrics . and then there ’ s the new los campesinos ! fan , who may not catch any of the lyrics at first , but will enjoy the taut , radiant melodies of “ let it spill ” and maybe even catch its resemblance to a particularly good snow patrol song . therein lies the triumph of no blues , lc ! ’ s strongest release since their staggering 2008 two - fer hold on now , youngster . . . / we are beatiful , we are doomed and a damn near necessary album from a band that had seemed content to be a diehards - only niche affair . no blues isn ’ t a promise , but rather a joke . on “ as lucerne ( the low ) ” , gareth brags “ there is no blues that could sound quite as heartfelt as mine ” and further proves his point : “ i hum the sorriest tune on the bar of these dives / send all the patrons running home to make up with their first wives . ” the parenthetical refers to the hook , which ostensibly sums up the expereince of being a los campesinos ! fan —“ the low is what i came for . ” yet , in a strange way , no blues ends up sounding like the happiest lc ! record , or at least the most implicitly hopeful . sure , gareth seems to be taking more joy than ever in crafting verbal monuments to his self - loathing . but after “ let it spill ” compares his eventual spiritual implosion to meteorological catastrophe and “ the time before the last time ”’ s nihilistic , psychosexual closure comes “ selling rope ( swan dive to estuary ) ” , where gareth plunges off a bridge only to spend the descent realizing that the act is going completely unnoticed . los campesinos ! ’ s fifth album , no blues , is their strongest release since the staggering 2008 two - fer * hold on now , youngster . . . / * we are beatiful , we are doomed . in a strange way , it also ends up sounding like the happiest lc ! record , or at least the most implicitly hopeful . this fall we will be playing in succession of the recently released album the best of years at no blues , a tour that we ’ ll continue in theaters and at festivals in 2017 / 2018 . for bookings please contact anne - maarten . lc ! have never made anything close to a bad record , but their two most recent lps , romance is boring and hello sadness , occasionally struggled under the weight they assumed as a means of “ maturing ”— namely , gareth ’ s increasingly dour lyrics and john goodmanson ’ s carb - loaded production . there isn ’ t any sort of ascertainable attitude adjustment or sonic restructuring to no blues ( goodmanson and guitarist tom campesinos ! co - produced ) , instead lc ! ’ s inspiration sounds self - imposed , no different than looking at the mirror and realizing they ’ d gotten a little bloated and puffy . though he often presents himself as a drunken , cuckolded , and death - obsessed reprobate , gareth performs like a leader of men , the gender pronoun being intentional as no blues still mostly pertains to his obsession with sports and male sexual frustration ( “ flotsam , jetsam , and spindrift — all the girls i have loved ” ) . the lyrics sheet sets out quite the scavenger hunt if you ’ re up for it — capel celyn , dick fosbury , the 2004 league cup , tony yeboah , meurig park , and delphinus all get their due . most of the proper nouns are soccer references , which gives gareth a distinct , entirely unique p . o . v . as a rock lyricist . indie still has a lot of hang - ups about being associated with the jocks , but sports fandom allows for obscene levels of obsession and projection . i mean , why are we allowed to use movies and music and literature to tell our own stories to ourselves , but not the unscripted , all - too - human drama when it dredges up so much source material about masculinity , ambition , competitiveness , civic pride , friendship , and whether god is real ? the namedropping isn ’ t meant to show gareth ’ s cleverness , but to pinpoint extremely specific feelings that no one else is capable of capturing — go find out what a panenka penalty is and listen to “ glue me ” again knowing how it feels to screw one of those up and then you ’ ll understand the indignity described therein . on saturday april 16th at record store day we will present the best of ten years no blues with an instore at kroese nijmegen at 16 : 00 . there is no digital distribution of the record , you can only find this limited edition in our webshop or at your local record store . we ’ re back from jordan , where we played a wonderful tour of five performances ! in our tour journal you can read all about king ’ s day in amman , a bar named after our album ya dunya and audiences from all directions . no blues has an unidentifiable " something to prove , " and nearly every song is superlative los campesinos ! in some aspect . rather than letting their energy splay out in all directions , lc ! maintain a focus and unanimity that reinvigorates the band and should surprise people who may have checked out after romance is boring . with all seven members pushing in the same direction , the opening duo of “ for flotsam ” and “ what death leaves behind ” are as anthemic as lc ! ’ s earliest work , though they achieve a kind of heretofore unimaginable liftoff — the call and response vocals merge into a unified front , the drums are huge . lc ! have never sounded so muscular or crafted melodies as instantly memorable . after a very successful show in bursa last year , no blues will now be performing in ankara , turkey . the band is doing one show at the ankara palace on june 12 . we are looking forward to play to all our turkish fans again ! you can buy your tickets here : http : / / www . biletix . com / etkinlik / uvh14 / ankara / tr . amsterdam klezmer band , arifa , baraná trio , boi akih , carel kraayenhof & su sexteto canyengue , combinatie xvi , fra fra sound , getetchew mekuria & the ex , izaline calister , julya lo ’ ko & erwin van ligten , kasba , maria de fátima , mdungu , minyeshu , no blues , oswin chin behilia , raj mohan and stricat . good news , we ’ re coming to turkey real soon ! next week no blues is playing in the auditorium of the union of chambers academic in bursa . we had a great time playing in amman jordan ! the first show at the blue fig was magical , playing for an appreciating audience . the atmosphere was relaxed and the warm night was a beautiful start of our five gigs . after the show we went to a place called dunia where the owner told us he had named his bar after one of our albums ya dunya and told us he is a big fan of no blues . we had waterpipe , drinks en food and enjoyed great jordanian hospitality . on day two we played at the haya cultural centre after taking a walk in the area . this theater was a good setting for the no blues music . sound engineer hassan from eclipse events did a great job and the band really took off during the show . the audience gave a standing ovation and after the show we went out for food . for the very first time our music will appear on vinyl ! for record store day 2016 we are proud to present the best of ten years no blues , a limited edition that is only available on vinyl . this record contains the highlights of a full decade of the unique blend of music called arabicana . allmusic relies heavily on javascript . please enable javascript in your browser to use the site fully . pitchfork is the most trusted voice in music . the lyrics take after the music , given an outer focus and clarity that reveals their density , enlarged to show texture . gareth ’ s vocals are still yelped , pleaded and spat , though there ’ s a brazen confidence in his delivery here , a mastery of craft . “ a portrait of the trequartista as a young man ” details gareth ’ s goriest revenge fantasy ( “ i ’ d excavate his throat of voice / and corrugate his vocal cords . . . make him recite this murder ballad ” ) while “ glue me ” is their most over - the - top mope ( yes , more than the smiths - baiting “ cemetery gaits ” ) , mixing the most poetically potent images with the silliest jokes ( the heterograph of the title , a snarky misquote from titanic ) . bedecked with marching drums and welling horns , “ the time before the last time ” is the prettiest lc ! song , though perversely so — it might not confirm a break up by masturbating in a girlfriend ’ s shower while fantasizing about her housemate , but i ’ m not sure what else it could be about . perhaps it ’ s a sign that there ’ s a limit to his miserablist exhibitionism ? maybe there ' s more to aspire to than simply having " sad story " as the only two words on his headstone ( to quote " cemetery gaits " ) ? in a way , literally hitting bottom on " selling rope " means there ' s nowhere to go but up . in hindsight , it might also reveal the unspoken completion of the chorus in the uber - los campesinos ! anthem “ avocado , baby ” . the cheerleading chorus and ecstatic drumming are a sonic throwback to their 2007 ep sticking fingers into sockets , but you also remember gareth introduced himself as a guy who can ’ t dance for shit — so while he brags of a “ heart of stone , rind so tough it ’ s crazy , ” turns out he ’ s still kinda sweet and mushy on the inside . on june 26 we are heading to the czech republic to play at valašský špalíček in valašské meziříčí . if your czech is educated enough , you can check out http : / / valasskyspalicek . kzvalmez . cz / program / for more information . we ’ re very proud that our music is included on the exclusive dutch delta sounds sampler that comes with the latest edition of the leading british music magazine songlines ! this issue contains an actual summary of dutch ‘ world music ’ , accompanied by the bonus cd . what the mississippi symbolizes for new orleans is the rhine for the netherlands . in this delta of western europe , on the boundary between land and water , originated a musical more - streamscountry . on the one side influences from eastern - and southern - europe silted , on the other side from the whole world . via the sea as from the 17e century the netherlands were connected with africa , asia , north - and south - america . more than ever this heritage – an open attitude to absorb ánd to pass on influences from four directions of the wind – colours the dutch musicworld today . you will find here cross - overs between jazz and pop with music from the balkans , surinam , indonesia and morocco , but also with influences from the dutch antilles , turkey and portugal . in short : dutch delta sounds ! for more info visit www . songlines . co . uk . for more info visit the facebook event . hope to see you there ! we ’ re happy to announce that later this summer we ’ ll play the folk holidays festival in náměšť nad oslavou , czech republic . but before we move on we play one gig in the netherlands during the wijland festival . day three was our kings day gig at the embassy . in the netherlands everybody gets dressed up in orange and celebrates . the dutch embasssy was coloured with orange lighting , so we felt right at home . although the evening was a little chilly , the gig went great and the people kept warm by dancing . a couple from france had come in especially from jerusalem to watch us play . it is always an honour when fans drive a long way to come to one of the gigs . on day four the band went cultural and we visited the citadel at amman . after seeing the ancient buildings and the amphitheater we went to the shomann foundation for our fourth gig . the energy in the room was truly amazing with people singing along and clapping to the songs . young and old enjoyed the music and after the show and encores we went out for a great meal and more waterpipe . our last show was at the maestro bar . a completely different venue from all the others . a smokey club with a young crowd . we played with a lot of energy and fire . again the music came across and the room exploded after solos . people clapped and danced , a great last gig to our stay in amman . after the show haytham and osama had to hurry to catch their flight . what a night ! we want to thank everybody who helped make this tour possible ; among others lama , ghadeer and the rest of the good people at the amman jazz festival , maartje peters at the dutch embassy , the fonds podiumkunsten for helping us out , the sponsors among which amstel , the sound engineers , safe for dragging the instruments around , productiehuis oost - nederland and all the people that came out to see us . we hope we ’ ll go back to amman ! yesterday we had the first gig in our jordan tour , still four to go ! meanwhile newspaper de stentor published an interview today with our own anne - maarten . he talks about our music and the chance we get with this tour to focus on the bridge and not the gaps between east and west . with greetings from jordan . . 😉 with a lot of thanks to fonds podiumkunsten who support us for this tour . there we go ! what a great start for us this year ! we kicked off in lux nijmegen where we got a really nice live review . after that we played a sold out show in the ever so nice amer in amen to continue our tour in muziekgebouw eindhoven , a show that was also totally sold out . what an honor to see the audience enjoy our music so much ! let ’ s hope for more good things to come this year . refresh the page to get new links .

the free spirits opened for jimi hendrix , the doors and the velvet underground , and recorded their debut album in late 1966 for abc , with a repertoire written primarily by coryell and fellow guitarist chip baker . despite laudatory liner notes from jazz critic nat hentoff and an abc ad touting the free spirits as “ the ‘ now ’ group with the ‘ now ’ sound , ” out of sight and out of sound failed to make any kind of impact with either jazz or rock audiences , and the band themselves were dissatisfied with the record , feeling that it did not capture the expansive energy found in their live sets . not long after the release of out of sight and out of sound , larry coryell and bob moses left the free spirits to join gary burton ’ s new quartet . burton , who ’ d just quit stan getz ’ s group , was a young but already experienced 24 - year - old jazz artist who had forged an innovative , four mallet technique for playing vibes and was looking to create a new sound that would somehow incorporate the music that he loved in addition to jazz ; on his previous two lps he ’ d included songs by the beatles and bob dylan . “ i ’ m young , and i like being young , ” he said in the liner notes to the quartet ’ s 1967 album duster : the first edition of blood , sweat and tears included pianist al kooper and trumpeter randy brecker , who would go on to fame with brother michael in the 1970s ; and the group ’ s second album would spawn a huge hit , “ spinning wheel , ” that featured a solo by trumpeter lew soloff . ( columbia ’ s ad for the second album was headlined , “ pretend it ’ s jazz . ” ) these groups in turn had been influenced by the sound of trumpeter don ellis ’ big band , which used a variety of odd time signatures and blended a variety of musical influences into a brew of proto - fusion jazz : one of the first jazz - rock groups to emerge in the mid - 1960s was the free spirits , which grew out of a music collective that jammed at a new york city club called l ’ intrigue . young musicians such as guitarist larry coryell , saxophonist jim pepper , trumpeter randy brecker , and drummer bob moses all partook of a kinetic and experimental culture that had room for both wes montgomery and the rolling stones ; looking back decades later , coryell , who had come to new york city from seattle in 1965 at the age of 22 , said the free spirits ’ sound was a result of “ trying to imagine what it would be like if john coltrane met george harrison . ” all three members of the group had jammed with jimi hendrix , and their loud , guitar - and - organ - drenched sound , powered by williams ’ intense drumming that continues to draw heavily on his own jazz rhythms as well as rock rhythms , reflected the cultural , political , and musical intensity of the times . williams said that he called their debut album emergency ! because “ it was an emergency for me to leave miles and put that band together . ” in 1969 jazz itself seemed to be in a state of emergency ; some of the featured acts at the newport jazz festival included jethro tull , sly and the family stone , and led zeppelin . miles davis was turning his ear more and more to these sounds , and in the next few years he , weather report , return to forever , and the mahavishnu orchestra led by lifetime ’ s guitarist john mclaughlin would take jazz , artistically and commercially , through perhaps its last great sea change . the age of fusion was about to dawn . in june of 1967 , the same month that the beatles released sgt . pepper ’ s lonely hearts club band , downbeat magazine published “ a message to our readers . ” “ rock and roll has come of age , ” the flagship journal of the jazz world proclaimed . “ without reducing its coverage of jazz , downbeat will expand its editorial perspective to include musically valid aspects of the rock scene . ” rock was on the rise , and jazz was on the run . that same year two legendary new york city jazz clubs , the five spot and eddie condon ’ s , both closed , and a downbeat cover headline stated , “ jazz as we know it is dead ! ” . long considered to be the hip music of the counterculture , jazz now seemed either bop - stagnant or avant - garde - abrasive to young listeners who flocked to rock instead . in his book jazz rock , stuart nicholson chronicles the economic migrations and upheavals caused by jazz ’ s declining popularity , and the growing calls of some jazz writers and mainstream media music critics for jazz to somehow find a way to align itself with rock music . in 1970 trumpeter miles davis released bitches brew , a landmark album that melded jazz , rock , and other elements into a sound that came to be known as “ fusion . ” but even before bitches brew , fusion was beginning to churn , with young jazz musicians such as gary burton , larry coryell , and steve marcus incorporating the influence of rock music into the recordings they were making . we ’ ll hear those artists and others in the next hour as we explore the fusion pioneers of the late 1960s on “ first fusion : jazz - rock before bitches brew . ” the original concert for ethiopia was held in melbourne , australia in january 1985 . midge ure was bought to oz to head the day - long gig , which was televised . $ 1 million was raised and presented to the red cross . geldof and many performers of the band aid recording were interviewed during the concert via satellite . the organisor of that concert , floated the idea of a concert in the uk with all of the performers of feed the world heading the concert . subsequently as bob began organising live aid in uk and the usa i travelled to the uk for meetings with bob and the band aid committee . the australian concert , ' oz for africa ' and sport aid oz , which i organised , raised $ 10 million which went to the international disaster emergency committee in australia . it ' s a great petty oz has not been included in the 20th anniversary . it would have been very successful here . regards . . . . bill gordon cairns . australia . . burton ’ s quartet would continue to the end of the decade , with some personnel changes that included jerry hahn replacing coryell on guitar . hahn had been a member of saxophonist john handy ’ s unusually configured quintet that had developed a strong following with young rock audiences on the west coast . in 1968 two key members of that quintet , pianist michael nock and violinist michael white , left handy to start the fourth way , named after george gurdjieff ’ s philosophy for awakening consciousness . jazz fusion historian kevin fellezs describes fourth way ’ s sound as a “ protoworld fusion blend of jazz , asian and african traditions , rock and funk , and acoustinc and electronic instrumentation that suggested the far - reaching possibilities of fusion ” : another fusioneer , saxophonist steve marcus , had a big - band heritage , having played with both woody herman and stan kenton , and he was also a part of the new york city scene that had spawned the free spirits . in the late 1960s he put together an ensemble that in retrospect is a sort of supergroup of early jazz - rock , count ’ s rock band , including former free spirits larry coryell on guitar , chris hills on bass , and bob moses on drums , as well as john handy and fourth way pianist mike nock on keyboards ; gary burton even shows up on tambourine as well . the group ’ s sound has been described as the meeting of free jazz and acid rock . mike nock said , “ our idea was to play contemporary jazz over rock grooves , ” and on songs like the byrds ’ “ eight miles high ” and the beatles ’ “ tomorrow never knows ” the group succeeded in creating a dramatic early form of fusion : ian " molly " meldrum compered " oz for africa " .

“ this 17 - track and 48 - minute selection is one of the most relaxed albums that i have heard . i attribute this to the superb combination of the vocalist , musicians , arrangements and material lending itself to the gentle swing that is achieved throughout the set . the experience of entertaining at london ’ s prestigious royal garden hotel on a regular basis has added to an already sparkling style of vocal presentation . the songs are ideally suited to the atmosphere that gary wanted to achieve and he gets 10 out 10 for achieving just that . stand out tracks , and it is genuinely difficult to single out just a few , are the opener “ music to watch girls by ” with its subtle vibe ’ s from andrew cottee likewise “ a swingin ’ affair ” last seen as part of the stage musical “ summer holiday ” ( great double bass from dave chamberlain and clarinet from luke annesley . ) always a favourite of mine is “ i ’ m glad there is you ” a vintage song with a meaningful lyric and beautiful piano playing from graham harvey and gentle percussion from matt skelton . given a running time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds this is taken at just the right pace . a definitive reading i suggest . and who couldn ’ t be pleased with “ let there be love ” a timely reworking of the nat “ king ” cole hit . all the accompaniments are charming throughout . gary pens an interesting liner note and there is even a note from author and music lover alexander mccall smith . this latest cd makes a beautiful companion to his earlier “ alone together with gary williams and the john wilson orchestra on vocalion cdsa 6809 . a worthy top 10 of 2006 cd in my book . ” clive fuller for “ in tune ” magazine “ the star of several bournemouth summer shows gary williams has received huge critical acclaim from everyone from michael parkinson to david jacobs for his new cd in the lounge with gary williams . gary , of course , appeared with david jacobs here in bournemouth in the legend of sinatra , which was truly amazing , and in 2004 he received his west end debut recreating the role of sinatra for the rat pack live from vegas . the new release , in which he has assembled six superb jazz musicians , has a lilting jazz feel with exciting new arrangements of old familiar classics . andrew cottee , the ace young arranger , has given music to watch girls by a brooding allure , while dean martin ? s i can ’ t give you anything but love , has a more relaxed , playful mood . songs like life is just a bowl of cherries and i ’ ve got the sun in the morning remind us it ? s the simple things in life that matter . whether playing this in the lounge or in the car , you are always in good company with gary . a charming , charismatic performer his vocal skills make him a fine match for the likes of sinatra and dean martin . in the lounge with gary williams is available now on the vocalion label , cd number cdsa6814 . ” hilary porter for the bournemouth echo “ one might ask what the point of recreating almost to the letter the vocal sounds of dean martin ’ s ‘ music to watch girls by ’ era of easy swing , as executed by gary williams on his new album ‘ in the lounge with gary williams and his musicians ’ . the point would be that the music is given a new , contemporary life by a young singer and thus potential propulsion towards new audiences – which is always a highly valuable endeavour . williams ’ vocals may be a little too reproductory of martin ’ s , but there is no denying the ease and rhythm blended therein . the album does achieve its aim of providing upbeat background chill - out music and anyway , one could argue that this is the only way to sing these types of songs . ” antonia couling for the singer magazine rudy vallee and his connecticut yankees . side 1 : whiffenpoof song ; side 2 : life is just a bowl of cherries ( rca victor 27843 ) . from the album , " heigh ho everybody " ( rca victor p 111 ) after playing life is just a bowl of cherries , radio 2 ’ s desmond carrington said “ his light touch and deft style are very much his own … i think the ‘ lounge ’ in this venue is one where the spotlight can pick out the star who entertains when other lights are low . ” “ one could describe this collection as ‘ cocktail ’ or ‘ late night ’ music , but that would imply that it should be enjoyed while doing something else – possibly more interesting . but that is not the case ! gary ’ s approach to his lyrics , and his empathy with his musicians demand your full attention , and his choice of numbers confirms what a wonderful period in history the last century was for high quality popular songs . being the supreme professional that he is , gary occasionally surprises by slipping in a verse that others have not treated us to previously . the general tone of the album is up - tempo , and the fine musicians performing the great arrangements created specially for gary include graham harvey ( piano , dave chamberlain ( bass ) , matt skelton ( drums ) , martin kershaw2 ( guitar ) , andrew cottee ( vibes ) and luke annesley on reeds and flute . if i have one minor criticism it concern the almost unreadable printing in part of the booklet - but that is the fault of the printers , not the musicians ! gary williams simply gets better all the time – a great cd . ” david ades for journal into melody “ after gary ’ s last superb foray with the john wilson orchestra , this new cd has him in the intimate setting of a smooth and gently swinging small group arranged for him by rising star andrew cottee , with just one title arranged by richard rodney bennett . it shows a more intimate side of gary and he doesn ’ t put a foot wrong . he swings when needed . he smooches when needed . he caresses when needed . his phrasing is sure , his intonation spot on . it ’ s an intelligent reading of a set of ‘ standards ’ which is never pretentious and always satisfying . best of all , he sounds like gary williams and not like anybody else . at one time gary would have been a world star . dream the possible dream … ! ” radio 2 ’ s malcolm laycock for big band world magazine “ i recently featured the gary williams cd ‘ in the lounge ’ and i think it is really outstanding . i especially like him because he sings “ standard ” without thinking he has to twist the melody or find a rock style rhythm . he is following in the sinatra , bennett , cole style without imitating any of them . i played 3 tracks and it was hard to pick which to use . all the songs are as good as one another . the backing is great throughout , and what lovely piano playing – in i ’ m glad there is you it is well - nigh perfect . i think the best thing of all is that not only are vocalion putting out present day singers but the standard of sound is so high . congratulations to all at vocalion . ” syd atkinson for mfr radio “ imagine the scene – low lighting , comfortable airchair / settee , favourite drinks with friends of like musical tastes and @ in the lunge with gary williams and his musicians ’ . sounds good to this receiver ! gary , for this cd , has chosen a range of classics by world - class tune and songsmiths and selected a group of first - class musicians , who react superbly to each song to record what evolves in to an intimate private concert . who could ask for more from a singer whose skills have grown as his mastery of the genre has increased immeasurably over the last few years ? all praise to the composers , lyricists , arrangers , musicians , conductor and production team – all of whom have pulled out the stops in this endeavour . to name names ( all are on the sleeve notes ) would give the false impression that one or other was more important . not so !

background

album

side a of my landlocked reconstruction — the silly side — begins with “ loop de loop ” , a song that al jardine had been tinkering on for some time , even up until it ’ s release in 1998 on the endless harmony soundtrack . but presented here is its original 1969 mix , remastered from a bootleg to match the eq of the final version . “ loop de loop ” runs directly into the original single mix of the upbeat rocker “ susie cincinnati ” , taken from the 2000 compilation greatest hits volume 3 : the brother years . note the modern remix found on the 2013 made in california box set was not used here because the mixing did not match the aesthetics of the rest of the songs . the original mix of “ san miguel ” follows , taken from the 1993 good vibrations box set . also from that box is the transparent jingle “ help is on the way ” edited to match the original landlocked version ( as noted on the september 1970 tape box ) . the goofy yet adorable “ take a load off your feet ” is culled from the most recent remaster of the surf ’ s up album and is followed by the dizzying unreleased “ carnival ” , again reeq ’ d to match the rest of my reconstruction . the side concludes with “ i just got my pay ” from the god vibrations box set . side b — the serious side — opens with my own remaster of the up - until - recently unreleased “ good time ” ; the newly remixed version from made in california again omitted here because it frankly sounded better than the rest of the songs , as well as a little light on backing vocals , in my opinion . following is my own remaster of the unreleased original 1970 recording of “ big sur ” , particularly reeqd to un - muddy the mix and bring out the missing highs and lows . next , the modern remix of dennis ' s “ fallin ’ in love ” , taken from the 2009 compilation summer love songs , is re - edited to match the original 1969 version . after my own remaster of the unreleased original 1969 version of the equally brilliant ( musically ) and inane ( lyrically ) “ when girls get together ” is “ lookin ’ for tomorrow ” . this version is taken from surf ’ s up as the overly flanged version seemed to fit the neo - psychedelic vibe of the rest of the songs . concluding landlocked is my one instance of creative license , the longer steve desper mix of “ til i die ” found on the 1998 endless harmony soundtrack . although landlocked would have actually included a version of similar length to what was released on surf ’ s up , i felt desper ’ s longer version was more appropriate to end the album . hello i am soniclovenoize . because i have too much time on my hands , i waste it by reconstructing famous unreleased albums . here are some of them . enjoy . the third of a four - part beach boys upload , this is a reconstruction of the unreleased 1970 beach boys album landlocked , an early version of the 1971 album surf ’ s up . all of the tracks that have been officially released have been compiled from their best possible sources ( spread over six different releases ) , and the remaining unreleased tracks were personally remastered from bootlegs for their best possible soundquality . all tracks were volume - adjusted with appropriate track leader to create a finished , cohesive album as a whole — the album that could have been surf ’ s up , as of late 1970 . reconstructing any unreleased album from this period of the beach boys ’ recording history is tricky . landlocked ( or at least the sequence of songs that have come to be associated with the title “ landlocked ” ) is actually one of three different unreleased beach boys albums from the 1969 - 1970 period ; to understand landlocked ’ s context we must examine her older twin sisters . remember that what we think of as landlocked is essentially a tape of nine sunflower outtakes ( of which only one would make the cut onto surf ’ s up ) and four of the songs that the beach boys were then currently working on for the surf ’ s up album ( only two of those would make the cut ) . also of note that there has been a dispute over whether this album ever existed at all ! some say that not only was “ landlocked ” never really a serious working title for the surf ’ s up album , but that this track sequence — which was indeed an early running order for the album that eventually became surf ’ s up — was never called landlocked anyways . i will put this argument aside for my blog ’ s purposes ; the working title of landlocked and this specific tracklist has become linked — erroneously or not — over time . besides , if landlocked never really existed , it would truly be an album that never was ! landlocked ’ s genesis essentially came out of the band ’ s flurry of studio activity in 1969 while making the sunflower album . between january and march the beach boys had recorded nine - or - so songs , just falling short of an album ’ s worth of material . of these initial sunflower sessions , landlocked ’ s “ san miguel ” and “ loop de loop ” were recorded . a second session in july and august yielded another four songs , with even more sessions resuming in october and continuing until january 1970 . the result was nearly 30 songs , more than twice needed for an album ! the first attempt to compile an album from these sessions , called reverberation and meant to complete their contract to capitol records , was rejected for unknown reasons ( this sequence contained the two aforementioned landlocked tracks recorded during the initial sunflower sessions as well as an instrumental “ when girls get together ” ) . the live in london album instead took reverberations ' place to fulfill their contract , and the band compiled a completely different sequence of tracks from the recording sessions as their first offering for reprise records . this second unreleased album add some music contained the eventual landlocked tracks “ when girls get together ” ( with vocals ) , “ susie cincinnati ” , “ fallin ’ in love ” , “ carnival ” , “ i just got my pay ” , “ good time ” , and “ take a load off your feet ” and was eventually rejected by reprise for not having an immediately radio - friendly hit single . after a final recording session in july 1970 , the strongest songs from the past year and a half of recording were resequenced into what we know as the sunflower album , leaving all of the aforementioned tracks on the cutting room floor . but what are some labels ’ trash are other bands ’ treasure , as the sunflower rejects became the seeds of the beach boys ’ next project . in august 1970 , the band began recording their follow - up to sunflower , tracking “ lookin ’ for tomorrow ” , “ big sur ” , “ til i die ” and “ h . e . l . p . is on the way ” . by september , a tape was compiled of these four new songs as well as the aforementioned nine sunflower outtakes and submitted to reprise records ( albeit with a capitol records letterhead ! ) . while some claim that landlocked was never actually an early title for surf ’ s up , documentation connects the title to this tape submitted to reprise on this date . i am using this sequence for my landlocked reconstruction as it was not only historically accurate to the rough sequences at the time , but it simply sounds great ! unfortunately , reprise records disagreed ; they rejected the album and new beach boys manager jack rieley urged the band to restructure the album into a more commercial and “ socially relevant ” album . the entire landlocked sequence bit the dust ( save for “ lookin for tomorrow ” and “ til i die ” ) with their replacements recorded between april and may 1971 . included was the newly - finished smile outtake “ surf ’ s up ” which became the title track for the album ’ s release in august 1971 . but what of landlocked , the surf ’ s up that never was ? half the songs staggered out as b - sides and as exclusive tracks on anthology releases , with another handful appearing only on bootlegs . two were even rerecorded for later releases ( “ big sur ” and “ when girls get together ” ) and another found it ’ s way onto yet another unreleased beach boys album ( “ h . e . l . p . is on the way ” on adult / child , which i will tackle shortly ) . here we can re - essemble what the beach boys really had in mind to follow - up their sunflower album before big - business pressures squeezed all of the fun out of being landlocked . with the addition of a less - gruesome cover image to match the carnival - on - acid vibe of the album , our reconstruction is complete . but how does our resulting landlocked compare to surf ’ s up and even sunflower ? for one thing , it is decidingly more psychedelic , goofier and more , well , fun . the tracks don ’ t seem to be concerned with commercial potential : just songs for their own sake . while sunflower and much of surf ’ s up seem overly serious , landlocked seems whimsical and certainly doesn ’ t take itself too seriously . we also have a sound more reminiscent of the smile era , although lacking the poetics of van dyke parks or any conceptual or sonic envelope pushing . but at the same time , one can surely see why landlocked was never released : it was not the correct album for the beach boys in the early 70s . if sunflower and surf ’ s up were the engines that drove the band for that decade , landlocked was merely the dining car , filled with libations and merriment , but unable carry the weight of the whole train . but with that said , i ’ d much rather be having a drink than shoveling coal … thank you for this and all the time and effort in making this and all your other posts available to us all . thank you very much . all your beach boys posts are truly appreciated . the thought and care in assembling these pieces of would - be history are wonderful . just fantastic , job well done . thanks that is a good question , and the answer is that i will not . the reason is because there was too much overlap between those two and this , it would seem redundant . what i did was i made a quick " rough cut " of all three albums , and decided to go with the one i enjoyed the most . of the three , landlocked was my favorite , and so i did that one . it is also the most far - removed from it ' s officially released counterpart ( it ' s only about 1 / 4th of surf ' s up ) , as opposed to the other two ( both reverberation and add some music is about 1 / 2 sunflower , if this makes any sense ) . i would like to request an alternate universe type scenario for a " wild honey " album released in the wake of " smile " in 1967 , as opposed to the bunt , " smiley smile . " i won ' t get into the details of this alternate timeline but if you ' re interested many folks have pontificated this on the smileysmile message board . i ' ve made a playlist with a tentative track listing : you ' re welcome , lonely days , little pad , fall breaks and back to winter , he gives speeches / she ' s goin ' bald , with me tonight , can ' t wait too long ( ss / wh " two - fer " mix ' 67 ) , cool , cool water ( ' 67 mix ) , gettin ' hungry , wild honey , the letter , darlin , i ' d love just once to see you , with a little help from my friends , their hearts were full of spring ( ' 67 mix ) , whistle - in . . . just throwin ' it out there . love all the mixes , man . keep ' em comin ' . i certainly agree with the concept here . with a bit more ambition , wild honey could have gone a long way to erasing the memory of smiley smile . the main omission in your mix i feel is " i was made to love her " , i feel that this is just an outstanding track - drenched in sun - tanned groove , it feels like it ' s one of the last tracks brain actually enjoyed playing on . this has to be the best i ' ve heard . a great selection . the sheer volume of tracks that this band left unissued ( even discounting smile ) is just staggering . loop - de - loop itself is better than some bands entire career output . thank you deeply for all of the hard work put into this , it is a brilliant effort . i really enjoyed what you did with this one and it really blows away the bootlegs i had of this . keep up the great work . thanks for your hard work on this sonic . one thing though , i ' m getting an md5 checksum error on susie cincinnati using traders little helper . ( tried several different downloads just to make sure ) . i really appreciate this post and i like this very much . i am waiting for new post here and please keep it up in future . i ' ve used your version of landlocked as a jumping - off point for my own version . with mine , i ' ve not used any songs which made the surf ' s up lp , but have added other tracks from the 1969 - 71 era to make a 14 - song album that accompanies sunflower and surf ' s up . tracklisting : - it hangs together pretty well . yet another great effort ! these atnw that you make are bringing a lot of pleasure to people in the real world . " h . e . l . p " ( and dennis ' " 4th of july " ) have long been part of ' my ' own copy of " surf ' s up " , so hearing it here was a little odd , but this reconstruction works well and is a worthy successor to " friends " in its overall balance and appeal . thanks again . hi , i really need to know which of these songs brian was involved with . was he involved with big sur and carnival ? thanks for uploading this cd . . . i enjoy it very much ! this here is for you beach boys fans , but mostly to you sln : http : / / www . demonoid . pw / files / details / 3403776 / 28713084 / awesome inc . theme . powered by blogger .

the endless harmony project was undertaken shortly after the death of founding member carl wilson , who died of lung cancer in february 1998 . at this point , brian wilson decided that the band was officially finished and disassociated himself from any further group activity . at odds with mike love for continuing after carl ' s passing , al jardine did the same . both love and bruce johnston ( with their accompanying concert act ) continued to perform live as the beach boys until all five surviving members reunited for their 50th anniversary in 2012 . the endless harmony soundtrack itself is patterned like the beatles ' anthology albums , with alternate versions and live renditions of songs , as well as previously unreleased ones . spanning from a stereo remix of 1963 ' s " surfer girl " to the completion of the unreleased 1969 recording " loop de loop ( flip flop flyin ' in an aeroplane ) " , the album also includes a brief snippet of both brian wilson and van dyke parks routining three smile songs in 1966 . endless harmony soundtrack never charted in the u . s . or the uk . although the album was not a commercial success , it did encourage capitol records to issue a more comprehensive archival package in hawthorne , ca , released in may 2001 .

The text discusses the reconstruction of the Beach Boys' unreleased album "Landlocked" from 1970. The author, Soniclovenoize, explains the background of the album and how it was compiled from various recording sessions between 1969 and 1970. The album was rejected by Reprise Records and eventually led to the creation of the "Surf's Up" album. The reconstructed "Landlocked" album features a mix of psychedelic, goofy, and fun tracks that showcase the band's playful side. The author notes that the album is more laid-back and less commercially driven than "Sunflower" and "Surf's Up".

despite ( or , we & apos ; d hate to think , because of ) their adventurous sound , they have yet to become the household name they deserve to be in north america . however , that may change with their second album , i remember , due soon . alunageorge & apos ; s instrumentals and lyrics work together like a single instrument on " friends to lovers " to characterize the theme of a friendship transitioning into a love affair . a synth sound smartly jumps in at the lyric about a blush - inducing stare . the warped , textured vibe gives way to a warm and reassuring lullaby of a chorus that pairs beautifully with its lyrics — " it could be worth finding out . " it & apos ; s a trick alunageorge performs with an effortless sort of subtlety throughout their debut . we hope to see a lot more of it on i remember . the repeating echoes throughout " your drums , your love " manifest the song & apos ; s themes about a longing that can & apos ; t be quieted . the well - thought - out chorus ( " i & apos ; ve been treading water for your love / whether i sink or swim , it & apos ; s you i & apos ; m thinking of " ) offers an obsessive statement that won & apos ; t leave you feeling drained by the end . it & apos ; s one of the best demonstrations of how alunageorge & apos ; s rich lyrics complement their magnetic arrangements . an " unplaceable sound " is how aluna francis once described her duo alunageorge to billboard . out of anyone else & apos ; s mouth , the words would coax an eye roll from most readers . however , when it comes to alunageorge , it & apos ; s hard to argue with . probably the closest thing to atmospheric they & apos ; ve done so far , " diver " is a standout example of the " melodic and lyrical journeys " the duo aspires to create . lyrically , the song has depth , boasting one of body music & apos ; s best lines : " i wanna be a climber with liquidity / the hardest wall hanging over me / the fear of the fall setting me free . " complimented by crackling ambient sounds , the song & apos ; s strengths whisper where other synthpop flaunts its bright ideas eagerly . the intriguing energy spells promise for the future . enter your alunageorge account e - mail address . best known for their anthem " you know you like it " — one of those radio earworms you know all the words to , whether or not you know who sang them — alunageorge & apos ; s sound is difficult to classify by any regular taxonomy . their hypnotic electronic production , handled by the duo & apos ; s other half george reid , paired with francis & apos ; alluring vocals , teeters between abstract r & b , intelligent dance music and synth pop . there isn & apos ; t a clear dividing line between their lyrical smarts and dynamic arrangements — it & apos ; s more complementary . speaking to billboard , reid described alunageorge & apos ; s first work body music , largely put together in his bedroom , as providing " a good blueprint " to jump from . the following six songs — capturing themes of impulsivity , dizzying love and deception — prove to us we & apos ; re due for a lot more brilliance from the forward - thinking pair . the beginning of " attracting flies " is a prime example of the nifty sonic touches that give alunageorge their distinct sound . that synth sound is actually not an instrument ; it & apos ; s distorted vocals from aluna herself . the song essentially turns power - up sound effects from an 8 - bit video game into a fierce track about having to hear out a tireless liar . enter the password that accompanies your username . by submitting this form , you agree to the universal music group privacy policy . reset your password if you ' re unable to login . by submitting this form , you agree to the universal music group privacy policy .

the concept for the emerged in 2014 , when alunageorge took part in several collaborations . one of the first collaborations was with dj snake , when he re - worked the duo ' s 2012 single , entitled " you know you like it " . it was released in october 2014 and peaked in the uk official charts at number 67 . at the end of the year , they collaborated with electronic musician zhu on his lead track " automatic " from his debut extended play genesis series . in january 2016 , the duo released their first official track since 2014 , " i ' m in control " , featuring vocals from dancehall rapper popcaan . in april 2016 , the duo worked on their third collaboration with electronic musician kaytranada , alongside rapper goldlink , titled " together " . the song was released as part of kaytranada ' s debut studio album , 99 . 9 % , released in that same month . after the collaboration , the album ' s second single , " i remember " , was released on 15 april 2016 , which later revealed the album ' s title . the song was produced by australian musician flume , and was inspired by their other collaboration with him , titled " innocence " , from his second studio album , skin . " my blood " was released on 28 april 2016 as the album ' s third single , featuring production work from electronic musician zhu , who they previously collaborated with in 2015 . the fourth single , " mean what i mean " , featuring vocals from rappers leikeli47 and dreezy , was released on 13 july 2016 to promote the album ' s pre - order release date , which became available on the same day . " mediator " was released as the album ' s fifth single on 2 september 2016 .

Alunageorge's background is characterized by their unique blend of genres, including atmospheric synth-pop, R&B, and IDM. Their lyrics are rich and thoughtful, often exploring themes of love, relationships, and introspection. The duo's sound is difficult to categorize, but their music is marked by its hypnotic electronic production, alluring vocals, and clever use of sonic textures.

it ' s fair to say epoch is the crown jewel in tycho ' s reigning ambient electronic discography . it nicely rounds out the trilogy of lps they ' ve released on ghostly international , which includes 2011 ' s dive and 2014 ' s awake , not so much a departure from its predecessors as a further maturation . opening tracks " glider " and " horizon " cement the band ' s signature melody - driven synth , but the album finds additional depth in pared - down songs like " receiver " and " field . " epoch feels like the realization of hansen ' s long - term artistic vision , and the album exudes a confidence that clearly shows the band have come into their own . what a surprise it must be for some fans than to hear a new song called “ epoch ” without warning and then find out that tycho ’ s latest full - length ( of the same name ) was surprise - dropped less than two weeks later . some call surprise album - releases gimmicky , while others view it as “ appointment listening ” . it ’ s a stunt no matter how you look at it , but in truth , the sudden release of epoch is the least interesting thing about it . for a man who so commandingly has cornered his own space in the post - spectrum , epoch pushes hansen ’ s sound forward in a way that few could have anticipated : it ’ s more aggressive and yet more pop - friendly at the same time , showing off new angles of his sonic while clearly retaining that relatable open - air accessibility that has enraptured tens of thousands of fans . evan sawdey started contributing to popmatters in late 2005 , and has also had his work featured in publications such as slug magazine , the metro ( u . k . ) , soundvenue magazine ( denmark ) , the daily dot , and many more . evan has been a guest on huffpost live , revottv ' s " revolt live ! " , and wnyc ' s soundcheck ( an npr affiliate ) , was the executive producer for the good with words : a tribute to benjamin durdle album ( available for free ) , and wrote the liner notes for the 2011 re - release of andre cymone ' s hit 1985 album a . c . ( big break records ) , the 2012 re - release of ' til tuesday ' s 1985 debut voices carry ( hot shot records ) , and many others . he is the co - founder and host of the chartographers , a podcast for pop music nerds , and has hosted poptalk for popmatters . he currently resides in chicago , illinois . you can follow him @ sawdeye should you be so inclined . as the slowly - warming tones of epoch ‘ s opener “ glider ” wrap the listener in a sense of immediate familiarity , a skittery , fast - paced drum beat soon enters , and it ’ s clear that for all the goodwill hansen has developed since his debut album dropped a decade prior , he ’ s starting to set his sights beyond the restraints of his genre , recognizing that even in the indie - instrumental electronica circuit , there are still valleys that haven ’ t been explored , and he ’ s more than willing to spend some of his capital to arrive at his new destination with his fans in tow . in reality though , the launch of epoch didn ' t set out to attain publicity either : " there is a kind of visceral fulfillment you get from sharing something that you ' ve just created with other people , " says hansen . " we just finished mastering the album in late august , so it will barely be a month old when people hear it . that ' s a very satisfying feeling as an artist . " similarly for tycho , a sparse xx - styled guitar closer like “ field ” isn ’ t necessarily out of left field for hansen and co . , but as a capper for his shortest , sweetest , and most concise album to date , it feels lived - in and considered , inspiring his fans while making everyone else wonder where this newfound confidence is going to propel tycho next . the post - punk pioneers ' second album gets a reissue / remaster , but its anarchy and tumult still sound . . . epoch may very well be a stunning and unexpected surprise release from post - rock collective tycho , but its unexpected appearance is the least interesting thing about such an accomplished set . after all , once “ horizon ” kicks on , with its ‘ 80s synthpop opening lick , it ’ s clear that what hansen is going for with epoch is something that he wouldn ’ t have been able to accomplish with his previous albums : there ’ s a little bit more propulsion to the proceedings , his basslines firing more rapidly and his usually - warm synths now dipped in a cool silicone bath , forcing hansen to trade in the pulsing heart that ’ s driven tycho ’ s best work for a sleekness that awake only started to hint at , and even with that in mind , he still fights hard to achieve that deep emotional resonance that his songs are capable of conjuring , even in the midst of all the new challenges hansen has given himself . to casual fans , the changes between awake and epoch may hardly be detectable , but the confidence to which hansen and his band attack the new compositions recalls the change in tone that his contemporary mark mcguire ran into between his 2014 steel - grey sky guitar instrumental set along the way and the far more rocking 2015 set beyond belief , wherein mcguire realized that even within the confines of his genre , there was room for great textural expansion , turning up the fuzz guitar but still remaining relaxing and relatable in new and exciting ways . scott hansen sure has come a long way since his days as a solo bedroom artist . it ' s been little more than a week since its surprise release , and already tycho ' s epoch has garnered much attention and near - universal acclaim . can you imagine past is prologue ever being met with the same level of publicity ? on epoch , hansen , brown and o ' connor are in the prime of their careers . ( ghostly international ) after delivering epoch out of the blue last fall ( complete with artwork that may or may not have been predicted by the simpsons ) , tycho ar . . . “ i ’ ve been on this planet a while and never been this contented , ” noted conan o ’ brien while playing hohokum during a 2013 visit to e3 . “ i spent six weeks with the dalai lama and i didn ’ t feel this good . ” the game is simple : you go around and collect seeds which turn into kites which you and your friends fly around on , and during the conan segment , o ’ brien ’ s colorful and perhaps too - blissful gaming experience is soundtracked by the fluid , sunshine - through - clouds instrumental thump of “ l ” by tycho . there are no doubt those that saw the bit and were intrigued by what they heard , and although tycho takes up a few slots on hohokum ‘ s official soundtrack , his songs so easily outshine and outrank the compilations other artists that it almost doesn ’ t seem fair . not that scott hansen is an asshole , mind you . he ’ s not a showboater : he ’ s a san francisco graphic artist who just so happens to also have a successful music career . what separates and differentiates him from his contemporaries is his ability to structure his boards of canada - indebted ambient - dance numbers in a way that is relatable and immediate , keeping his actual chord progressions astoundingly simple but embellishing each production with enough atmosphere and tiny details that each track feels like a personal epic , a custom - designed soundtrack scoring you and your life . fans have responded in kind , turning out in droves to his live shows and going so far as to put his heralded 2014 effort awake in the top 25 of the billboard 200 — an astounding feat for a post - rock instrumental set . while tracks like “ slack ” and the sparse guitar strummer “ source ” could easily have been placed on tycho ’ s previous two full - lengths , “ receiver ” is the kind of moody , auntumn - hued number that fans have been pining for since 2011 ’ s dive : a slower , more deliberate kind of song that shows restraint , using its minimalist tones to lull the listener into a state of ease before eventually soundtracking an emotional scene for a yet - to - be - made jason reitman melodrama . we all know how critical it is to keep independent voices alive and strong on the internet . please consider a donation to support our work . we are a wholly independent , women - owned , small company . your donation will help popmatters stay viable through these changing , challenging times where costs have risen and advertising has dropped precipitously . popmatters needs your help to keep publishing . thank you . please enable javascript to view the comments powered by disqus . to listen to rainbow edition is to constantly be waiting for the next thing . . . . in the age of climate science denial , synth legend gary numan offers up a bleak dystopian landscape . . . wolves in the throne room return in blazing fashion with thrice woven , a work that defines the very . . . jewell and company offer pristine versions of wonderful blues tunes from america ’ s past . . . . veteran rockers foo fighters join forces with pop producer greg kurstin , and the unexpected result i . . . true to his predilections , dean wareham moves the band and song , in covers and instrumentals , and us . . . andrew bryant " robert downey jr .

album

after the greatness of their first two albums , their third " iii ( temples of boom ) " was a huge disappointment and while " iv " might not be on the level of the first two , it ' s a major step up from their previous effort . after making nursery rhymes about killing cops on their debut , ( the song " pigs " ) cypress hill do a song from the other side ' s perspective . b - real embodies the persona of a corrupt ( obviously ) police officer on " looking throug the eye of a pig " and tells a incredibly harsh tale about the things he ' s seen : back with a renewed energy and purpose , latino - flavored rappers cypress hill climbed back into the ring for another round in the fight for hip - hop supremacy on iv . just what dr . greenthumb prescribed . back with a renewed energy and purpose , latino - flavored rappers cypress hill climbed back into the ring for another round in the fight for hip - hop supremacy on iv , an album which is as much at home with ghetto street - kids as it is with california surfers . cypress hill are a group whose style has always been slightly influenced by rock . this fascination started when the band playing on festivals with rock and punk bands , and since then the group has experimented with adding guitar riffs into beats and merging rock and hip hop together . the band first fully explored this on 2000 ’ s double album skull and bones , which featured both hip - hop orientated ( skull ) and rock orientated ( bones ) cds . the album was met with mixed reception which , whilst mainly positive , some felt that the rock cd seemed slightly tacked on and disjointed compared to the first disc . in terms of lyrical content ; b - real and sen dog are on top of their game on most of the tracks , covering a wide range of topics including the band ’ s history and troubles ( “ kronologik ” ) , coping with fame ( “ it ain ’ t easy ” ) , and of course , weed ( “ l . i . f . e ” ) , it wouldn ’ t be a cypress hill album otherwise ! although , the band has clearly matured over the years and expanded their subject range , which helps to add diversity to the tracks and give the album more flow . vocally , b - real ’ s delivery and flow is the more complex of the two rappers , with more rhymes and witty couplets , whereas sen dog ’ s style is more of a straight attack on the mic and usually more violent and lacking in rhymes or wordplay . despite this the interplay between the two rappers works and is another aspect which helps to bring diversity to the tracks . despite this , stoned raiders is a solid effort by cypress hill , and does not overstay it ’ s welcome with unnecessary skits or filler . all of the tracks are well executed and enjoyable with catchy lyrics and beats that will stay stuck in your head . the experimentation with rock has been refined since skull and bones and works well , but is not a crutch which the group relies on , as they can perform traditional hip / hop just as competently . but then admits " i ' m worse than some of these motherf * * * ers i put away " an unexpectedly gripping story come from this group , also talks about seeing one of his friends taking evidence but " that doesn ' t concern me , we never rat on each other we went through the academy , just like frat brothers " over an electric guitar - laced beat which might of been a sign of things to come . a definite highlight of the album and maybe of their career , it ends on a somewhat lighter note with this " officer " pulling over a " mr . freese " ( which is b - real ' s last name ) . unfortunately most of the album can ' t sustain the momentum of the first track , most of these songs are very average to below average but there are some outstanding tracks here even if they are few and far between . " tequila sunrise " is a looped mariachi sample that works amazingly well with a guest spot from cypress hill protégé barron ricks but the beat is the most memorable part of the track , dj muggs at the top of his game even though the rest of the crew might not be . with right hand man sen dog back in the fold , it completes the circle that b real and dj muggs once drew as one of the most influential groups in rap . with this fourth album , cypress hill managed to hit the # 11 spot on the billboard album charts and it was certified gold . now i ' m going to go play street fighter iv . this message edited on 02 . 21 . 09 the former american idol defects to ' the voice , ' plus an ex - nfl player and a christian drag queen stand out in the blind auditions . foo fighters hit no . 1 , equaling a nirvana feat haim provide an intimate look at the recording of their new ' something to tell you ' in the short film ' valentine , ' directed by paul thomas anderson . noel gallagher partnered with reverb . com to sell off musical equipment he has used throughout his career . what happens in vegas does not stay in vegas ! if you didn ’ t make it to sin city this past weekend for the life is beautiful festival , these photos will almost make you feel like you were there . two former eminem producers are auctioning off a portion of the rap superstar ' s royalties . noel gallagher and his high flying birds will release their new lp , ' who built the moon ?

overall , this is david banner ’ s best album . it has been seven years since his last album , death of a popstar with 9th wonder , but it sounds like the time away did him good . the god box is the album that fans of his lectures and interviews wish he dedicated himself to making a long time ago . even though the album is coming years after the height of his popularity , it is still right on time for an mc and producer who is a grown - ass man making music at a time when there is no time to play around . “ the meaning of “ the god box ” is sort of like a secret . it ’ s something that people are going to have to come to on their own . everyone will get something different out of the album and i ’ ll let the listener decide what that is , ” banner said about the album . stream david banner ' s first album in seven years " the god box . " it ’ s been many years in the making , but after several setbacks & delays , david banner ’ s highly anticipated album the god box has finally arrived . the only thing that a listener may find “ wrong ” with the album is that it is very much a line in the sand . banner doesn ’ t hesitate to share his very direct views on race so if you are sensitive to the topic , black or white , you may squirm in your seat when you hear him say “ cracker ” or make the occasional “ whites killing blacks ” blanket statement . laced with 15 tracks in total , the follow up to 2010 ’ s death of a pop star with 9th wonder is another socially - conscious , political album that addresses the injustices happening in america , particularly in black communities . it features guest appearances from several lyrically - conscious rappers , including big k . r . i . t , black thought , kap g , ceelo green , raheem devaughn , and more . david banner has always had the talent to create great music , but his albums didn ’ t always present that . with the god box , banner proves why he ’ s still here 20 years after getting in the game . unlike his previous releases , the god box contains no attempts to get commercial radio play . but that does not mean that it ’ s not jamming . the only song that would fit at a club , “ black fist ” featuring tito lopez , can also serve as a protest anthem . banner put his deep rolodex to good use by recruiting features that actually add lyrical value to the track , not just big name recognition . black thought once again demonstrates his elite mc status on “ who want it ” and we actually get a rap verse out of ceelo green on “ magnolia ” where banner cleverly raps from the perspective of a tree used to hang black people . lyrically , banner sounds the best he ’ s ever been . now that he ’ s independent , older and wiser , banner sheds all of the labels people tried to put on him and just spits raw raps , especially on “ august ” which should have been a longer song . available on itunes at midnight ( may 19 ) , fans can now stream the lyrical & socially conscious body of work for free a few hours early thanks to banner ' s soundcloud page . checking in with 15 songs including a bonus track , the god box is an hour - plus long of bold statements and strong voices . nothing on here sounds unsure of itself or middle - of - the - road . every idea and word that comes out of banner ’ s mouth come with a fight , just like his late - mentor pimp c used to say . banner doesn ’ t shy away from putting his personal beliefs and conspiracy theories out there either . on “ elvis ” he boldly raps about michael jackson being killed to make a profit and claims that the government put aids in the black community on “ amy ” featuring trinidad james . banner , who has spent the last few years honing his skills as a producer across genres and industries shows off his rock chops on “ judy blare ” and “ traffic on mars ” and creeps into r & b territory on “ marry me . ” but the highlight of his production comes on the lead single “ my uzi ” featuring big krit and ugk where he builds a hook around a lost pimp c verse and ends the song with an orchestra playing something that sounds straight out of a disney movie . get the hottest music , news and videos delivered directly to your inbox . tell me about hot new hip hop news . editor ’ s suggestion : listen to “ wizdom selah ” every day in the morning before you start your day and again before you got to sleep . bahamas issues travel warning for its citizens traveling to u . s . we ' ve joined the bhm digital family of websites and have updated our terms of service and privacy policy . by continuing to use this site , you agree to our updated terms of service and privacy policy . plus the latest political and fashion news — including the hottest sneakers to hit the street .

awarding the album four stars at ccm magazine , grace aspinwall writes , " with its refreshing , clean and clear sound , banner succeeds in all aspects : vocals , musicality and arrangements . " barry westman , giving the album four and a half star from worship leader , states , " banner , an album of epic proportions " . indicating in a three and a half star review for new release today , sarah fine says , " what banner lacks in musical originality , it more than makes up for in spiritual substance . " matt mcchlery , rating the album an eight out of ten at cross rhythms , describes , " this is a great album that contains numerous singable songs " . signaling in a four star review from 365 days of inspiring media , joshua andre responds , " with worship ballads and pop radio tunes alike , banner is a smorgasbord of a worship leader ' s dream of diversity " .

The album received widespread acclaim from critics, with many praising Banner's lyrical prowess and socially conscious message.

overview

album

yet i can ’ t help feeling that by the time of numbers ( 1975 ) , izitso ( 1977 ) and back to earth ( 1978 ) , the stevens muse had begun to tire . the clearest indication of that perhaps is the fact that only one hit single forced its way through during the period —“ ( remember the days of the ) old schoolyard ” , a cut from the middle cd in this sequence . “ old schoolyard ” kick - starts izitso with a certain vigour , as early synthesiser trills add a likeable texture to stevens ’ slice of nostalgia , and it sets the tone for a fairly invigorating collection , with upbeat rockers like “ killin ’ time ” and the caribbean tinges of “ sweet jamaica ” creating quite a tasty melange . there ’ s nothing thrilling here but the players assembled — the muscle shoals masters roger hawkins , david hood and barry beckett , for instance — lend their unquestionable skills , while chick corea ’ s nimble fingers bring colour with an electric piano work - out on “ bonfire ” . furthermore , the song “ ( i never wanted ) to be a star ” lends a prescient poignancy to the album , with its retro references to earlier top 20 smashes . there have been three quite distinct phases in the pop life of the man born steven georgiou of greek antecedence in london in 1947 . during the mid - 1960s he emerged as a composer and singer of light , bright songs , paying a number of visits to the british and american charts with a string of witty , catchy items , including the autobiographical “ matthew and son ” , an account of the drudgery of everyday commercial life . more significantly , he penned a minor classic , “ the first cut is the deepest ” , which became familiar in the hands of soul diva p . p . arnold . but it was in his second period that cat stevens gained his greatest acclaim , riding the singer - songwriter wave and establishing himself in that melancholy , reflective mode that so appealed to the post - hippie student audience in the uk — where the style gained the epithet bedsitter music , a reference to low budget , one - room living — and also in the us . albums like tea for the tillerman and teaser and the firecat captured the moment : an appealing mixture of gentle mysticism and inner delving . songs such as “ wild world ” and “ moon shadow ” joined the growing canon of acoustic gentility . but stevens ’ most significant career shift — a personal hejira quite evidently , but a commercial catastrophe — saw him adopt the muslim faith , re - emerge as yusuf islam , and essentially draw a line under that string of popular and profitable releases . in the last two decades he has become something of a curiosity : a subject of occasional interest for the british press , usually as a somewhat eccentric example of a religious enigma , but sometimes as a consequence of his activism on behalf of humane causes . his remarkably productive 1970s — ten collections of self - derived work — now seem a lifetime ago , but his label ’ s ongoing re - mastering project has drawn new attention to a substantial back catalogue . these three items are the final trio of recordings released at the end of that fertile decade . numbers is a concept album of sorts , subtitled “ a pythagorean theory tale ” and accompanied by an illustrated saga of science fantasy — as spaceships and sorcerors rub shoulders — and is very much of its time . now , the tolkien - esque notion appears embarrassingly dated and the songs , a mixture of wistful melody and rather overblown arrangement . a period piece is the kindest compliment . back to earth switches focus once again , largely jettisoning star sidemen , and swinging from the light funk of the brazil -

upon its release , the music magazine rolling stone praised the album for blending together elements of folk rock and electronic music , " often in apparent opposition to each other " , with " the diversity and the maturity to match this seeming incongruity . " the album reached no . 7 on the american pop albums charts . it also included his last us and uk top 40 chart hit for almost three decades , " ( remember the days of the ) old schoolyard " , an early synthpop song that used a polyphonic synthesizer ; it was a duet with fellow uk singer elkie brooks . linda lewis appears in the song ' s video , with cat stevens singing to her , as they portray former schoolmates , singing to each other on a schoolyard merry - go - round . ( this is one of the few music videos that stevens made , other than simple videos of concert performances . ) the song " child for a day " was featured in the 1977 film first love , starring susan dey and william katt . the song " was dog a doughnut ? " upon release was criticised for sounding " a bit too robotlike " but has since been considered one of the first electro , or techno - pop , songs ever recorded , with elements later associated with hip hop music . the track made early use of a music sequencer along with synthesizers . the song " ( i never wanted ) to be a star " references the transition phase happening in his life , as he was growing more and more resentful of the more commercial aspects of the music industry . the lyrics make references to four of his early songs : " matthew and son " , " i ' m gonna get me a gun " , " a bad night " , and " i think i see the light " .

The article discusses Cat Stevens' music career, highlighting his three distinct phases. In the 1960s, he composed light, bright songs; in the 1970s, he adopted a melancholic, reflective style; and in the 1980s, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam. The article focuses on his 1970s output, particularly the albums "Numbers", "Izitso", and "Back to Earth".

critical reception

album

shayne ward is at that exact point . having sold two million copies of his eponymous debut and scored 13 worldwide number ones , he now has the unenviable task of trying to turn that success into a career , starting with this , the ' difficult second album ' . breathless is an album that sums up the predicament of the reality pop star . having taken the fast track to the big time , shayne has no style of his own and is open to the whims of his production team . shayne ward may now be starring in coronation street , but the x factor winner has also had a very successful singing career . shayne ward found fame back in 2005 when he auditioned and won the x factor after impressing simon cowell with his talents . the star ' s second album , breathless , was released in 2007 . samsung have just paid her 25 million dollars for the rights to brand her next tour and album . i doubt they were expecting tracks like woo , four minutes of breathless emoting dragged out over a tunelessly clashing guitar / keyboard sound , with the only apparent motif being some ghostly backing vocals going “ wooo ” . after taking a break from music , shayne came back in 2010 with his third album , obsession . i ' m actually living for rihanna & this # anti album . people were anticipating a cute turn up , but i love the direction she took this album . tracklistings come from musicbrainz . you can add or edit information about breathless at musicbrainz . org . find out more about our use of this data , and also our policy on profanity breathless , for all its ultra - slick production , electro beats and pop hooks , is a . . . that team are the swedish duo maratone , who have previously worked with britney spears , kelly clarkson and backstreet boys , so there ’ s no doubt that they know pop very well . sadly , what they don ’ t seem to know is soul . breathless , for all its ultra - slick production , electro beats and pop hooks , is a superficial and often vapid experience . eventually however the shortcomings of breathless show us one crucial fact ; the old ways of pop are indeed dead , but if this is the future , it might just turn out to be goodbye pop . tracklistings come from musicbrainz . you can add or edit information about breathless at musicbrainz . org . find out more about our use of this data , and also our policy on profanity it featured one of the star ' s most famous hits , breathless . the problem is an over - reliance on hip - pop , the watered down and sanitised mainstream runt of the soul music litter , that makes the majority of what is on offer sound like a desperate attempt to jump on the coattails of the latest trend . it ’ s an understandable plan , given the inexplicable success of fellow x factor alumni leona lewis , but it is one that falls far short of success . for instance whoever thought that an aping of akon on the dire " if that ' s ok with you " or the cynical attempt to bring shayne down to his teenage audience ’ s level with the dreary " no u hang up " was a good idea needs their head plunged into a bucket of very cold water . the exceptions are when shayne reverts to the formula that made his debut successful , like on the title track ballad , or when the production team actually try something ambitious , as on closer " tell him " , which swings around a sample of vivaldi ’ s four seasons . last year , shayne and his partner sophie austin welcomed their first daughter together , willow . and while many people forget shayne ' s hit songs , we haven ' t . take a trip down memory lane at shayne ' s biggest hits and most - loved albums . . . in 2005 , shayne walked away the winner of the second series of the x factor . in 2006 , shayne released a cover of brian rice ' s no promises . following his debut tour , shayne release if that ' s ok with you and no you hang up back - to - back in 2007 . later , the now soap actor revealed his self - titled debut album . the album featured song such as his cover of nickleback ' s gotta be somebody . “ i got to do things my own way darling , ” announces rihanna on the opening track of her long - awaited eighth album , anti . so , are you ready for rihanna ’ s experimental phase ? she has been the plastic pop queen of the last decade , the malleable , sex - pot superstar whose role was to lend her potent vocals and sassy charisma to hits crafted by teams of top writers and producers . up until now , rihanna has been notorious in the business for not being particularly involved in the creation of her own records , something which has enabled her to keep up an incredible strike rate in her career , releasing almost an album a year from 2005 to 2012 , whilst touring incessantly . since being talent - spotted as a teen by an american producer on holiday in barbados in 2003 , she has been groomed as the ultimate pop front - woman , backed to the hilt by her biggest mentor , hip - hop mogul jay z . this album is all about depth and texture . the prevailing rhythm is mid tempo . the mood is surly , as she affirms her right to do exactly what she wants . this is about establishing the notion that rihanna is an artist in her own right , not just a glorified glove puppet . i suppose it was inevitable that rihanna would start to want to take the reins herself . she ’ s still only 27 and has been in the limelight since she was 17 . she has had song writing credits before , using her real name robyn fenty , but this time she is credited on every track but one . there are lots of other backroom talents cited but none of the established hit teams that have powered her career . there is no stargate , dr luke , max martin , calvin harris or sia furler , all of whom submitted songs over the three years of the album ’ s gestation only to have them rejected . the one writer - producer who has been allowed to do his own thing without interference from the star is australian psychedelic indie - rocker , kevin parker , of the band tame impala . rihanna ​ covers his song , new person , same old mistakes , a dreamy six and a half minute space groove ​ from ​ the critically acclaimed 2015 album , currents . this , for better or worse , is clearly the music rihanna likes : leftfield , stoned and strange . it is rihanna without hits . this strange album , released without warning over the internet for free , may well be a reflection of the fact that not even her own backers really expects this to be a commercial blockbuster . it is more an exercise in rebranding , transforming the hit girl into a serious artist . forest have lost 1 - 3 at home to fulham , with daryl murphy scoring their only goal of the game . nottingham city council has launched a truancy crackdown as officers carried out patrols to make sure children were in school in bulwell . net confirmed that their trams are running despite some signs not showing times . traffic on the m1 has now returned to normal , as have the other reported traffic issues . a fire in hucknall was reported to the fire and rescue service at 3 . 35 this afternoon . the police have backed comments made by derbyshire police over the weekend , who believe that vigilante groups have the potential to jeopardise police investigations . . . . and used it to rank nottingham ' s favourite crisps . do you agree ? judge james sampson told the 21 - year - old : " this was a persistent , dishonest breach of trust . you abused your position as a carer for a vulnerable person . " judy murray came to nottingham to look for the tennis stars of tomorrow . a woman failed a breath test when she was handed a large glass of wine after trying to halt domestic trouble in a street , city magistrates heard .

” she demands . the answer to that part may lie on the second track , a two minute jazzy tumble of electric piano and scat singing which opens with the woozy declaration : “ i ’ d rather be smoking weed ” and continues with the kind of wayward melodic and lyrical development that suggests that may have been exactly what she was doing while she sang it . it is amusing to imagine the response of her record executives and corporate backers when she came in with that . would you want to be the one to tell your biggest star that the songs she has spent the best part of three years writing and recording may be lacking in some basic elements , like verses , choruses , melodies and hooks ? teams of top writers and producers would be assembled to contribute their most commercial prospective hits . rihanna ’ s job was to provide sparkle and charisma , coming in at the last minute to lay down a finished performance over guide vocals recorded by session singers . rihanna was so in demand that she often recorded her parts in hotels and makeshift studios set up whilst on promotional duties around the world . she has proved her worth to the hit factory time and again with a raw , warm , sassy vocal presence that can brighten any track by several hundred watts . the difference between a catchy demo and a blockbuster hit has often been rihanna herself . at least , it would seem that is what rihanna has come to believe . sooner or later , every manufactured artist turns against their creators , from the monkees ( with their self - immolating psychedelic opus head in 1968 ) to miley cyrus biting the disney hand that had fed her for years by stripping off and twerking . anti is rihanna ’ s overdue bid for some kind of artistic independence and critical credibility , and despite its lack of obvious commercial appeal it might turn out to be a smart move . the girl can sing , indeed , and on anti , all of the focus is on that voice and her appealingly wayward personality , singing about sex , love , drugs , desire and frustration as if her life depends on it . without all the practised song - craft that usually knock the wind out of listeners , what she has come up with is atmospheric , sexy and strangely disturbed , tapping into the kind of distorted beats and chilled tempos that burble through progressive hip hop . the cerebral , moody influence of canadian rapper drake is apparent , and he shows up to duet with rihanna on the lead single work . even that doesn ’ t exactly sound like a banging pop hit but at least it tugs at the ear and gets under the skin , and in so doing , adds interesting dimensions to rihanna ’ s established image . it will satisfy the appetite of fans and the curiosity of the internet for the moment but poses interesting questions about what happens next . because being cool and credible is all very well . but what , really , is a pop star without hits ?

the album has received mixed reviews from music critics . times online gave the album three out of five stars stating " with chart battles involving producers rather than artists , poor ward finds himself fighting it out with the big budget likes of justin timberlake in the sweet voice stakes . " the website also commented that the album was largely ballad - free , and the gleeful if that ’ s ok with you borrows deftly from rihanna ’ s " pon de replay " . " damaged " and a cover of the sos band ’ s " just be good to me " eschew bland international r & b for the pop reggae that ace of base once sold by the million . better still is " stand by your side " and the soul stomper " tangled up " , both reminiscent of george michael ’ s finest , could signpost his future . " the bbc gave the album a mixed - to positive review , calling it " an album that sums up the predicament of the reality pop star . having taken the fast track to the big time , shayne has no style of his own and is open to the whims of his production team . "

The album "Breathless" by Shayne Ward received negative reviews, with critics calling it superficial and vapid. The album's over-reliance on hip-pop and lack of soul were seen as major drawbacks. The reviewer felt that the album was an attempt to jump on the latest trend, but fell short of success. In contrast, Rihanna's album "Anti" was seen as a bold experiment, with the singer taking control of her music and exploring darker, more atmospheric sounds.

shayne ward is at that exact point . having sold two million copies of his eponymous debut and scored 13 worldwide number ones , he now has the unenviable task of trying to turn that success into a career , starting with this , the ' difficult second album ' . breathless is an album that sums up the predicament of the reality pop star . having taken the fast track to the big time , shayne has no style of his own and is open to the whims of his production team . shayne ward may now be starring in coronation street , but the x factor winner has also had a very successful singing career . shayne ward found fame back in 2005 when he auditioned and won the x factor after impressing simon cowell with his talents . the star ' s second album , breathless , was released in 2007 . samsung have just paid her 25 million dollars for the rights to brand her next tour and album . i doubt they were expecting tracks like woo , four minutes of breathless emoting dragged out over a tunelessly clashing guitar / keyboard sound , with the only apparent motif being some ghostly backing vocals going “ wooo ” . after taking a break from music , shayne came back in 2010 with his third album , obsession . i ' m actually living for rihanna & this # anti album . people were anticipating a cute turn up , but i love the direction she took this album . tracklistings come from musicbrainz . you can add or edit information about breathless at musicbrainz . org . find out more about our use of this data , and also our policy on profanity breathless , for all its ultra - slick production , electro beats and pop hooks , is a . . . that team are the swedish duo maratone , who have previously worked with britney spears , kelly clarkson and backstreet boys , so there ’ s no doubt that they know pop very well . sadly , what they don ’ t seem to know is soul . breathless , for all its ultra - slick production , electro beats and pop hooks , is a superficial and often vapid experience . eventually however the shortcomings of breathless show us one crucial fact ; the old ways of pop are indeed dead , but if this is the future , it might just turn out to be goodbye pop . tracklistings come from musicbrainz . you can add or edit information about breathless at musicbrainz . org . find out more about our use of this data , and also our policy on profanity it featured one of the star ' s most famous hits , breathless . the problem is an over - reliance on hip - pop , the watered down and sanitised mainstream runt of the soul music litter , that makes the majority of what is on offer sound like a desperate attempt to jump on the coattails of the latest trend . it ’ s an understandable plan , given the inexplicable success of fellow x factor alumni leona lewis , but it is one that falls far short of success . for instance whoever thought that an aping of akon on the dire " if that ' s ok with you " or the cynical attempt to bring shayne down to his teenage audience ’ s level with the dreary " no u hang up " was a good idea needs their head plunged into a bucket of very cold water . the exceptions are when shayne reverts to the formula that made his debut successful , like on the title track ballad , or when the production team actually try something ambitious , as on closer " tell him " , which swings around a sample of vivaldi ’ s four seasons . last year , shayne and his partner sophie austin welcomed their first daughter together , willow . and while many people forget shayne ' s hit songs , we haven ' t . take a trip down memory lane at shayne ' s biggest hits and most - loved albums . . . in 2005 , shayne walked away the winner of the second series of the x factor . in 2006 , shayne released a cover of brian rice ' s no promises . following his debut tour , shayne release if that ' s ok with you and no you hang up back - to - back in 2007 . later , the now soap actor revealed his self - titled debut album . the album featured song such as his cover of nickleback ' s gotta be somebody . “ i got to do things my own way darling , ” announces rihanna on the opening track of her long - awaited eighth album , anti . so , are you ready for rihanna ’ s experimental phase ? she has been the plastic pop queen of the last decade , the malleable , sex - pot superstar whose role was to lend her potent vocals and sassy charisma to hits crafted by teams of top writers and producers . up until now , rihanna has been notorious in the business for not being particularly involved in the creation of her own records , something which has enabled her to keep up an incredible strike rate in her career , releasing almost an album a year from 2005 to 2012 , whilst touring incessantly . since being talent - spotted as a teen by an american producer on holiday in barbados in 2003 , she has been groomed as the ultimate pop front - woman , backed to the hilt by her biggest mentor , hip - hop mogul jay z . this album is all about depth and texture . the prevailing rhythm is mid tempo . the mood is surly , as she affirms her right to do exactly what she wants . this is about establishing the notion that rihanna is an artist in her own right , not just a glorified glove puppet . i suppose it was inevitable that rihanna would start to want to take the reins herself . she ’ s still only 27 and has been in the limelight since she was 17 . she has had song writing credits before , using her real name robyn fenty , but this time she is credited on every track but one . there are lots of other backroom talents cited but none of the established hit teams that have powered her career . there is no stargate , dr luke , max martin , calvin harris or sia furler , all of whom submitted songs over the three years of the album ’ s gestation only to have them rejected . the one writer - producer who has been allowed to do his own thing without interference from the star is australian psychedelic indie - rocker , kevin parker , of the band tame impala . rihanna ​ covers his song , new person , same old mistakes , a dreamy six and a half minute space groove ​ from ​ the critically acclaimed 2015 album , currents . this , for better or worse , is clearly the music rihanna likes : leftfield , stoned and strange . it is rihanna without hits . this strange album , released without warning over the internet for free , may well be a reflection of the fact that not even her own backers really expects this to be a commercial blockbuster . it is more an exercise in rebranding , transforming the hit girl into a serious artist . forest have lost 1 - 3 at home to fulham , with daryl murphy scoring their only goal of the game . nottingham city council has launched a truancy crackdown as officers carried out patrols to make sure children were in school in bulwell . net confirmed that their trams are running despite some signs not showing times . traffic on the m1 has now returned to normal , as have the other reported traffic issues . a fire in hucknall was reported to the fire and rescue service at 3 . 35 this afternoon . the police have backed comments made by derbyshire police over the weekend , who believe that vigilante groups have the potential to jeopardise police investigations . . . . and used it to rank nottingham ' s favourite crisps . do you agree ?

mikael wood from the los angeles times gave the album a mixed review , saying that it " darts somewhat haphazardly from sleek dance - pop tunes . . . to schmaltzy slow jams " but also that " it also feels like an honest showcase of the singer ' s voice . . . its strength lives up to that of her collaborators . " allmusic ' s andy kellman gave it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote " as a showcase for a teenage powerhouse vocalist , charice does succeed , but a more balanced mix of heart - heavy and upbeat material would have made the desired whitney houston and mariah carey comparisons more accurate " . billboard gave the album a generally positive review , noting that " the set ' s stylistic shifts - - from teen - oriented pop to a touch of rock ( " in love so deep " ) to anthemic ballads — ultimately leaves you wondering just which audience charice is eyeing : her teen peers or their moms , " before concluding that " though it doesn ' t hit on all cylinders , the album leaves no doubt as to charice ' s talent - - and promising future .

watson ' s arrival on the folk scene of the ' 60s was a major event in american music , due mostly to his appearance at the 1963 newport folk festival and the release of this self - titled album the following year . not only did it revolutionize folk guitar picking , but it set the standard for the rest of his career with its mix of old - timey numbers , blues , gospel , and adapted fiddle tunes . the album is incredibly varied , from the stark , banjo - driven " country blues " to the humorous " intoxicated rat , " and many of these songs became watson standards , especially his signature song " black mountain rag .

the interim between the 1998 release of cappuccino songs and tikaram ' s spirng , 2005 lp sentimental , has seen collaborative work with other musicians such as ashley beadle , asian dub foundation , and moodswings . previously , during a quasi - sabbatical after the release of her third album in 1992 , tikaram had collaborated with the bronte brothers on their album the way through the woods , and soloist christie hennessy on his lp lord of your eyes . " i want to discover new things , music i wasn ' t brought up with . in paris i hear a lot more world music . on radio nostalgie in paris they play an english record followed by a french one , and i do like french pop . i also love abba and fleetwood mac . i listen to everything - to things i don ' t understand , like chab khaled and paolo conte because i think their music is sexy . i have a very dark voice so i am always trying to find ways to lighten things up . " in the fickle , pop perceptions of consumerism , tikaram faded away in 1998 . with the release of sentimental it is tanita ' s opportunity to reincarnate before the public eye . it is a different day , an impatient , tense , superficial age , but tikaram sounds and appears to be up to the stuff of successful reinvention and her optimism reflects her eagerness to take on the challenge . " they ( the cuts on sentimental ) are very human songs i hope . i like to think that by the end of a track a listener can imagine me winking at them , smiling . ” the 18 - year - old who began with a hit song wrapped around cross - cultural visions of indigenous suffering has returned at the ageless age of 35 to pluck the chords of full - gamut human emotion . sentimental is tanita ’ s sixth studio album and features 10 new songs and a unique vocal collaboration with nick lowe who sings on two of the tracks . “ i wanted to get back to things i had forgotten , fundamental ideas about keeping things simple and interesting and looking at how the voice sits with other instruments ” , says tanita , “ ideas i felt i lost but which maybe i just knew naturally when i was seventeen . " the track listing includes ‘ play me again ’ and ‘ my love ' , ‘ don ’ t let the cold ’ , ‘ every day is new ’ , and the concluding track , ‘ heart in winter ’ . vocalist tanita tikaram was born in munster , germany on august 12 , 1969 , in - between the last polarized throes of the flower power era , three days after the horrific august 9th murder of actress sharon tate by members of charles manson ' s sphan ranch commune , and three days before the legendary august 15th woodstock music festival in bethel , new york . perhaps the timing of this soul ' s arrival marks a potential turning point in the creative consciousness of humanity . certainly that would seem evident upon listening to the sumptuous , self - penned poetics inherent in tikaram ' s 18 - year , 8 - album musical spanse . sr : you come back on the music scene with “ sentimental ” cd seems like a temporary one . feels like you ’ ve recorded that album because of your own inspirational needs , for your personal pleasure without any major future plans . sr : your latest effort “ sentimental ’ gives us the feeling of a pleasant tiredness and peace . what ’ s the mood of this album by your own opinion ? tanita tikaram : well , yes . i made the album because i felt really happy with the songs and the musicians i was working with . beyond that i don ’ t think you can really make any plans . the brooding , melancholy infused in tikaram ' s earlier works was hardly the stuff of pop teenage angst . moreover it evolved from an innate , ongoing seriousness and a sense of alienation brought on by the sudden advent of worldwide fame at age 18 . " when i was still a teenager , i made a debut album that sold almost 4 million copies , visited city after city , staying in top hotels , performing and promoting my songs in over two dozen countries . it sounds glamorous - and in many ways it was - but i was lonely , all my friends were at college and not part of my universe . it was very hard to relate to what was happening . it was almost like i was sleepwalking through it all . " tanita tikaram : no secrets ! i was living in italy and learning a bit of italian and a bit of piano . tanita tikaram : no . it ’ s just strange to have written such an odd song . i have a deep affection for the song and always enjoy singing it but it ’ s really ‘ out there ’ . tanita tikaram : no , absolutely not ! however , i ’ m more tranquil in those dry spells when i ’ m not writing . tanita tikaram : i think music can do everything we need emotionally , actually ( i mean that in a very quiet way … not in a loud way ) . tanita tikaram : i think writing music for film would be very interesting , but i think it is a particular talent to write music in this way and i really don ’ t think it ’ s a talent i have . tanita tikaram : what a strange question . i don ’ t think it ’ s possible to control anything really . tanita tikaram : i ‘ m not sure i understand why someone who is pleased or satisfied would be less able to write a sincere song than someone who is dissatisfied and unhappy . anyway , a lot of great songs were not written with this notion of the tortured artist they were written because some one thought of a groovy melody and a catchy lyric . tanita tikaram : i think sometimes the record creates this very special feeling , a warm sort of solitude . i hope that makes sense . tanita tikaram : well , being able to work in this way , basically live and each working day having the excitement of a performance and the camaraderie of all the musicians ( and no click track ! ! ! ) was all very special . tanita tikaram : it ’ s interesting . i ’ m amazed at how people find their audience solely through the internet , i ’ m thinking more of daily blogs than music . there are some blogs that have thousands and thousands of readers . how does it happen ? tanita tikaram : i think learning an instrument is one of the most wonderful things we can do , for pleasure not only as a career . i would encourage everyone to learn an instrument ! official site : www . tanita - tikaram . com tikaram ' s ethnicity , maternally malaysian and paternally fijian / east - indian , has contributed to the rich , wide - ranging stylization of her works . from the somber origins of twist in my sobriety ( the soundtrack to a masterful , award - winning , sepia - toned video featuring compelling vignettes of impoverished native americans ) , the premiere track from her multi - million - selling 1988 cd debut ancient heart , to the eclectic variances of finnish and latin - inspired melody on 1998 ' s cappuccino songs lp ( with a darkened , eerily atmospheric cover of abba ' s the day before you came ) , tikaram ' s caramel - coated voice traverses cultural boundaries effortlessly . outside the realm of musicianship , tikaram has indugled her interest in acting and film , appearing in director monika treut ' s taboo parlour , a segement of the 1994 lizze borden - helmed drama erotique ( a fictional , pre - vagina monologues quadrant of feminist vignettes about sexuality ) . the much - lauded original version of twist in my sobriety has been recently featured in the 2001 bruce willis crime / comedy bandits , and tikaram was also the title track vocalist for the 1997 french feature - film drama marion . sr : have you ever had any offers to compose music for a movie ? such collaborations are widespread nowadays . what do you think ? sr : in one of your interviews you have once said about the control over the light and the dark in your voice . how much do your control your voice and life nowadays ? sr : could you admit or deny the statement that a musician who ’ s satisfied and pleased is not capable of writing a sincere song . to read essay ( on russian ) : http : / / specialradio . ru / essay / 016 . shtml your email address will not be published . required fields are marked * original critical commentary and overviews of lesser - celebrated , top - tier musicians , actors , performance artists , filmmakers , writers , inventors , life experiencers , movies , songs , fictional characters , and their unique contributions . a new hampshire filmmaker and palmist with an interest in the effect sound has on the chakras of the human body . pine ridge post - script : the assassination of anna . . . alice a . bailey : of heaven , hell , and the hierarch . . . jimmy hatlo ' s idiosyncratic inferno : he did it eve . . .

after releasing her previous album the cappuccino songs in 1998 , tikaram retired from the music scene and lived in italy for a time . during the 7 year - gap between albums , she tried to start an album in the more electronic vein of her last , but she decided it wasn ' t working and then went on to study piano for three years , an instrument she had never learnt to play . her piano teacher , daniela ronconi , eventually played several instruments on the album , as well as arranging and mixing the songs . sentimental sees tikaram playing the piano on a record for the first time in her career , and not her usual instrument of choice , the guitar . she eventually decided to record the songs in a warmer , live - in - studio approach without any electronic overdubs and with her voice and the piano as the focal points . the result is tikaram ' s jazzier album of her career . tikaram described the album ' s sound as " groovy " without being exaggerated . for the first time on her albums , tikaram duetted with male singers . the record ' s drummer , robert treherne , who had never sung on record , duets with tikaram on " everyday is new " and " forever " , because tikaram heard him sing the latter song before a rehearsal and decided his voice complemented hers perfectly . treherne , a longtime collaborator with singer nick lowe , brought the singer to duet with tikaram on another song , " don ' t let the cold " . lowe also provides a humming on " don ' t shake me up " .

Tanita Tikaram's background is discussed, including her early success, her hiatus, and her return to music with her album Sentimental. She talks about her inspiration, her creative process, and her views on music and artistry.

capt . nusrat hussain on the flight deck of pia boeing 737 - 33a ( registration ap - beh ) at kabul airport , afghanistan . nusrat was member of pakistan ' s first widely known band ' vital signs ' . he also appeared in video of band ' s first instant hit song ' dil dil pakistan ' in 1987 . later , in 1990 nusrat became member of pakistan & south asia ' s popular rock band ' junoon ' . soft and beautiful song titled ' khwab ' in junoon ' s first album ' junoon ' was sung by nusrat . it is considered as one of all - time great hit songs by ' junoon ' group . the last known work in music by nusrat was his solo album titled ' amrit ' released in 1992 . the album showed nusrat ' s talent and skill in pop music . capt . nusrat is son of pia ' s legendry fokker f27 pilot capt . rahat hussain ( click here to see photo ) and younger brother of pia boeing 777 pilot capt . sarwat hussain ( click here to see photo ) ahmad is also planning to launch an album to mark two decades of junoon . the album will be featuring strings , bilal khan , outlandish , usman riaz and laal ’ s taimur rahman , “ who are recording their favourite junoon tunes ” . the musician has also invited his twitter followers to suggest songs for the album . to make them join the celebration , the artist has promised to promote their junoon - inspired videos uploaded on youtube : “ share your personal junoon stories , sing , play guitar , lip - sync to junoon ’ s songs … you are the star on youtube . shoot a three - minute video . ” nusrat hussain was only a part of junoon till their debut album , afer that he parted ways to become a pilot . though a part of original line up , nusrat is more recognized as a part of vital signs and not of junoon . what made junoon popular was actually the line up of salman , ali and brian , as featured in the ptv drama talaash . junoon won ’ t ever ever sound the same without ali azmat , but i ’ m more excited about the covers ’ album . that will be one collector ’ s item for sure ! salman singing junoon ’ s classic hits will be a disgrace to junoon ’ s memory . as good as a musician he happens to be , the man ’ s ego might eventually overshadow his legacy if he continues this way . we want the original junoon lineup – salman , brian and ali . it ’ s not the same without ali . whatever . . . . . . ! ! junoon is incomplete without ali azmat and who is salman ahmad the man who made fun of islam : - j i am with ali azmat bohat acha kea us nay . . . . . . and junoon ko toora nahi gea junoon apni moot khud he mar gea and of - course people , junoon is nothing without ali azmat . salman may produce instrumentals like “ heer ” and “ jugalbandi ” , he cannot even find any vocalist like ali azmat in this world . i mean who can deliver vocals so strong that resulted in songs like taara jala , meri awaz suno , pyar bina , heeray , mera mahi , ghoom taana , and i guess every song of junoon . and by the way salman ’ s guitars are just out of this world . a listener may not realize the genius behind his guitars until he tries to cover those rhythms and feels the trance he falls in . in short nothing will be like junoon ever … : ( salman singing junoon ’ s classic hits will be a disgrace to junoon ’ s memory . as good as a musician he happens to be , the man ’ s ego might eventually overshadow his legacy if he continues this way . we want the original junoon lineup – salman , brian and ali . it ’ s not the same without ali . salman has been carrying junoon logo ever since it was split , and making dollars by stupid / sluggish concerts in usa / canada . this is a message to salman , accept it that you are a guitarist a better one , but not a junoon vocalist . with out ali azmat , salman can make noise but not music … . bring ali back to junoon … . @ muhammad ahmed malik : well i don ’ t think ali never wanted to do sufi music . otherwise sticking with junoon for 15 years would have been impossible for him , though he may have wanted to compose differently to experiment , which salman may not have agreed upon . otherwise , why he would have come up with a recent track that sounded so much like a junoon ’ s number ( josh - e - junoon ) . bombay dub orchestra ’ s second album recorded with over 75 musicians in 3 cities – mumbai ( bombay ) , chennai and london . as the latest reminder of the band ’ s contribution to the country ’ s music scene , ahmad is set to celebrate junoon ’ s 20th anniversary . “ we are reaching junoon ’ s 20th anniversary , so i ’ m excited about more projects coming up regarding that , ” ahmad told the express tribune . the musician will be performing with the band ’ s former bassist brian o connell . “ brian o ’ connell is performing on junoon ’ s 20th anniversary celebration concert at the asia society on september 24 in new york , ” ahmad broke the news on his twitter page after announcing september 30 as the day when “ rumi taught junoon how to play ” two decades ago . on the other hand salman says junoon is not a band of three guys , it was a phenomenon . junoon will stay forever with or without ali . junoon is better off without ali azmat , . i hope they grow without him as he is busy making bum phatta like tracks , , , after junoon broke up there is not a single track worth listening by ali , , which is quite sad . ali azmat was junoon . his voice was / is the passion behind the songs . salman ahmad will only embarrass himself even more buy thinking he still has a band . it was sad that junoon broke up but i ’ m glad ali azmat went solo . he is phenomenal singer … his voice has what it takes to be the sound of a revolution . grow up and learn to appreciate junoon ’ s artistry and , not many international rock bands have created a completely new sound like junoon . there music changed my life ! ! there are many vocalists in pakistan that are better than ali azmat at present , but there is no other band that is better than junoon . junoon will live on . there is no junoon in junoon without ali azmat . salman is a really talent guitarist and composer ( and a world class poser ) but he has extremely weak vocals . i heard him sing saaeein , the guy ruined the song for me forever . junoon may not be a part of pakistan ’ s mainstream music after ali azmat calling it quits in 2005 , but lead guitarist and founder salman ahmad believes it ’ s “ time to put the ‘ junooni ’ spirit back into your lives ” . ho hum … . there is no junoon without ali just like theres no guns n roses without slash or axl , no oasis without liam or noel . join this page guys : http : / / www . facebook . com / pages / no - junoon - without - ali - azmat / 113152188737508 lives of the hit songs that salman wrote in junoon . ali azmat prefers money , drugs , booze over a legacy . junoon was always salman ’ s brainchild and what made it different from any other typical band you see in pakistan ( and there ’ s quite alot of them ) was salman . ali ’ s solo stuff is just plain absurd and bum phatta and all its just pathetic . salman and ali were never meant to be together seriously . ali may be a great vocalist but not a spokesperson . he rambles around in his thick accent talking gibberish and recently started supporting zaid hamid and flaunting conspiracy theories . salman on the other hand is done something productive with his life and has always brought positivity . i ’ m an indian junooni and my life was changed by junoon ’ s music . my husband and i even named our daughter sayonee !

junoon ' s roots stretch back to tappan , new york , in the 1970s . salman ahmad left lahore , pakistan , for new york with his family when he was eleven , and received his baptism in rock music when a friend offered him a ticket to a led zeppelin concert . salman ahmad was so enthralled by the show that he saved $ 235 to buy his own electric guitar . he also befriended brian o ' connell in tappan , another young aspiring musician , with whom ahmad formed their first band together by the name of " eclipse " . before the two friends could take their aspirations out of the basement and onto a bigger stage , salman ahmad ' s parents moved back to pakistan in 1981 , and salman began to study medicine at lahore ' s king edward ' s medical college . in 1987 , nusrat hussain , by then the lead guitarist of the band vital signs , after composing the song " dil dil pakistan " , parted ways with vital signs and suggested rohail hyatt , founder and keyboardist of vital signs , to bring salman ahmad as his replacement in the band . vital signs then went on to record their debut album at the emi studios in karachi , but almost all the songs were written and composed at salman ahmad ' s residence where the band had been lodged . in march 1989 , the band released their debut album , vital signs 1 , which was a success throughout the country . the following year , salman ahmad parted ways with the most successful pop band of pakistan as he wanted a change in the band ' s music for their second album and therefore after leaving the band he went on to form his own band . first , he recruited singer ali azmat from the jupiters and then the former vital signs lead guitarist , nusrat hussain , on keyboards . junoon formed in 1990 when salman ahmad , founder , songwriter and lead guitarist , had a dream where one of his teachers shook him and said " tumhey mousiqui ka junoon hai ! " ( you have an obsession for music ! ) . after the band ' s formation , its members were signed to major record label emi records and afterwards went on recording their self - titled debut album . the album features the emerging alternative rock instrumentation of the time , as well more palatable hard rock and aor influences .

The text describes the background of Nusrat Hussain, a Pakistani musician who was part of the bands Vital Signs and Junoon. He was also a pilot and flew for Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). The article mentions his music career, including his solo album "Amrit" and his time with Junoon, a popular rock band in Pakistan. It also touches on the controversy surrounding Junoon's lead vocalist Ali Azmat and the band's breakup.

this cd features a sparse but very self - sufficient trio . trumpeter roy campbell extends the tradition of don cherry and bobby bradford while borrowing now and then from freddie hubbard . bassist william parker and drummer reggie nicholson are equal partners on the six lengthy group originals ( four by campbell , two by parker ) and they inspire the leader to come up with consistently inventive playing . on " chant for don cherry " ( which has a spanish rhythm stated by parker ) , campbell certainly brings back cherry ' s spirit . since the pieces are long ( the nine - minute " communion " is the briefest ) , there are some meandering moments but in general the interplay between the three musicians holds one ' s interest ; parker ' s bowed bass on " air pockets " really pushes campbell . communion - roy campbell , jr . , roy campbell pyramid trio | songs , reviews , credits | allmusic roy campbell , jr . / roy campbell pyramid trio roy campbell , jr . / roy campbell pyramid trio roy campbell , jr . / roy campbell pyramid trio roy campbell , jr . / roy campbell pyramid trio roy campbell , jr . / roy campbell pyramid trio roy campbell , jr . / roy campbell pyramid trio roy campbell , jr . / roy campbell pyramid trio develop a column , write album reviews , cover live shows , or conduct interviews . for the 2007 vision festival , trumpeter roy campbell was commissioned to write " akhenaten suite , " in which he paid tribute to his heritage using thematic material learned from longtime study of his mid - eastern ancestry . aum fidelity ' s live recording of the world premiere performance begins as campbell counts out , " one , two , three . . . one , two , three , four " to spark the intro to a quick , evenly paced thematic statement , evoking a regal fanfare , eliciting the notion of akhenaten , pharaoh in the 1300s bc , whose influence on egyptian culture forever changed it , religiously and artistically . personnel : roy campbell : trumpet , flugelhorn , recorder , arghul ; billy bang : violin ; bryan carrott : vibraharp ; hillard greene : bass ; zen matsuura : drums . campbell pays acute attention to an omnipresent rhythm to propel his story through all its phases . bang often embodies the rhythm ' s impetuousness to which his lengthy pizzicato attests . the four parts of " pharoah ' s revenge " display color and voice changes , where campbell ' s flugelhorn and muted trumpet alter the character of the brass ; the recorder , egyptian arghul , trombone and tuba have a say as well . hillard green clips along with a clean bass pizzicato solo run on the last track , " sunrise on the nile .

scott yanow , in his review for allmusic , says because of the length of some of the pieces , " there are some meandering moments but in general the interplay between the three musicians holds one ' s interest . " the penguin guide to jazz states " campbell remains a gratifying and lyrical performer , even at his furthest out . "

The album received positive reviews, with critics praising the trio's inventive playing and the leader's consistent creativity.

l ' autrichienne is the band ' s most ambitious work yet . it ' s a sprawling , 21 - song concept album about marie antoinette , who was nicknamed " l ' autrichienne " due to her austrian origin and connections . valentine tackled the subject after finding a book on the french revolution in an rv park lending library . ( she and livengood have lived on the road in an rv for the past seven years ; their myspace lists them as " nomads 4ever . " ) the album ' s liner notes are endearingly nerdy , appending historical commentary to each song . but jucifer ' s range far exceeds that of these bands . smart pop , quiet balladry , and bludgeoning sludge metal are all fair game , making the band ' s records feel like patchwork . valentine ' s voice ties things together , however ; her croon sounds equally at home over acoustic guitar and jucifer ' s wall of amps .

l ' autrichienne was given a 4 . 5 out of 5 in allmusic and an 8 . 0 of 10 in pitchfork media . both praised the musical variety which can be appreciated in the album . gazelle amber valentine ' s work as a singer in this album has been compared to young pj harvey ' s as well as courtney love ' s . her ability to shift from one vocal technique to another has been praised specially by greg prato from allmusic , who asserts only very talented vocalists are able to do what she does .

The album received widespread acclaim from critics, with many praising the band's ambition and ability to blend different styles.

it ’ s strange to think that back in 2011 , bury tomorrow were strongly considering giving it all up . being left without a label and very little money following pressure to adjust who they were , and even to move out and base themselves in north america , the southampton quintet were on the brink of demise . yet , here we are , now 10 years into a band who are – in the grand scheme of things – still so young in their careers , and with album number four , ‘ earthbound ’ ; a record that truly sees them flourish from another potential paint - by - numbers metalcore act into one of the elite of the genre in the uk . as we eagerly await the release of bury tomorrow ' s new album earthbound , the five members of britain ' s metalcore favourites choose their favourite tracks . ‘ earthbound ’ is undoubtedly a 10 - track arsenal that sees bury tomorrow in full stride , and secures them as one of the – if not the very – brightest gem in the crown of british metalcore . if nothing else , this record helps pin the story that giving up is never an option . this southampton outfit have risen from a bleak time when there was little hope of a future for them , reared themselves from barking pups into savage roaring beasts , and more than capable to trample underfoot all who stand in their way . whilst we also see each member strengthening their crafts and putting them to better use , there ’ s also some subtle yet effective experimentation here and there which really sees bury tomorrow come out swinging . ‘ 301 ’ has a definite aggressive punk vibe , aided by a guest spot from hatebreed vocalist jamey jasta , a rather while she sleeps - esque male choir / chant makes an appearance in ‘ the burden ’ , and somewhat pop - y vocal overlays towards the tail - end of ‘ memories ’ all prove themselves to be just a few prominent highlights of this record . in this exclusive video , we find out which songs the band believe has the best chorus , the best breakdowns and why frontman dani winter - bates thinks the eternal is the " most metal song " the band have ever written . davyd also explains that despite bury tomorrow never using " cameos " , why it made sense for hatebreed ' s jamey jasta to guest on latest track 301 . dani implements far more use of high screams throughout this album than we ’ ve seen before , and it really adds an extra dimension to things than the mid - range roars and low growls we ’ ve become so accustom to . in the vocal department , cameron also becomes a far more interesting prospect , most notably in ‘ memories ’ and crescendo - tastic ‘ restless & cold ’ . indeed , we ’ ve always known cameron to have some decent pipes on him , but sadly thus far the melodies which are implemented into the tracks for him to deliver are either hit - or - miss . the balance between the two and their vocal deliveries pair off so much better than they ever have before . picking up from here , ‘ earthbound ’ is far stronger , darker , and vicious ; the heavier parts are abundantly heavier , the choruses are more prominent and memorable , and instrumentally this is an a game effort from all members . from opener ‘ the eternal ’ , the chugging riffs jason cameron and kristan dawson , pummelling double - kick drum of adam jackson and tyrant roar from frontman dani winter - bates sounds like we ’ re a battalion being led into a warzone , and we ’ re all for being a part of the charge . dani has previously revealed that earthbound was written in six weeks while on tour , and here we find out which songs were written in germany with caliban and which was written in a " shady hotel room " in australia . you can order your copy of earthbound right now . whilst ‘ the union of crowns ’ asserted the band were far from down for the count , and features one of the genre ’ s strongest choruses this side of 2010 in ‘ lionheart ’ , the band ’ s last effort ‘ runes ’ was an ambitious and exciting idea for a record in theory , but in practice didn ’ t really build much from their previous , and didn ’ t hold very much replay value . © 2017 future publishing limited , quay house , the ambury , bath ba1 1ua . all rights reserved . england and wales company registration number 2008885 .

writing for distorted sound magazine , james weaver , said : " this is the record that will send bury tomorrow into the stratosphere , driving them to compete with the best in british metal . "

in early 1982 , wilson had achieved minor success with two singles , " beat the beat " and " baby it ' s true " , but it was in september that she broke through to top ten success when " just what i always wanted " became a no . 8 hit . the song sparked media interest in wilson due to her 1960s image ( in particular her beehive hairstyle ) and retro sound . she was also keen to promote her backing band , the wilsations , who received joint credit on the album . this was followed up with the more modest hit " ( beware ) boyfriend " , but a cover of " cry me a river " returned her to the top 30 . alongside this fifth single came the debut album , which also charted well , by reaching no . 24 in the uk . one more single was released from the album afterwards ; " wonderful ( to be with ) " , which proved to be wilson ' s final top 75 entry . the album was released in three different versions - the uk edition , a slightly modified version in europe and a truncated version in the us . the uk edition featured neither " ( beware ) boyfriend " or " baby it ' s true " , while none of them included " beat the beat " . in the us , the album was issued in 1983 on polygram records and was released alongside lead single " just what i always wanted " , but was unsuccessful . in the uk , showpeople remains her only hit album . the album has never been released on compact disc , but in 2007 , all tracks were featured on wilson ' s compilation album , the platinum collection .

The Scottish Government is consulting on guidance to support traveller children and young people's educational outcomes, which are currently among the worst in Scotland.

don ’ t worry , i won ’ t let my inability to relate to bow wow and omarion ’ s female fan base stop me from fully delving into face off ’ s twists and turns . now there ’ s a certain segment of the hip - hop community who have already decided face off is terrible , but those of us who believe our personal musical tastes aren ’ t the definitive measure of musical worthiness can at least appreciate the demographic genius of the duo . omarion plays the smooth - singing r & b ladies man with a golden voice , while bow wow embraces the “ rapper bad boy ” role without hesitation ( he ’ s even got tattoos ! ) . together the pair ( who i ’ ll jointly call “ owowion ” from now on ) form an absolute teen juggernaut . surprisingly , face off comes through on the musical side of the equation too by concocting an enjoyable blueprint for hip - pop success . i like to get into the proper mood for all my reviews , so in anticipation of bow wow and omarion ’ s new collaborative album face off , it seemed only right that i embrace my inner teenage girl . i figured it ’ d be easy : i ’ d write all over my notebooks in white out , spend five hours on the phone with my best friend , and hyperventilate whenever i looked at a picture of the dreamy duo . well , things didn ’ t go as planned . it turns out i don ’ t even own white out , my best friend hung up on me to watch monday night football , and the only thing i felt when i stared at face off ’ s cover was boredom . apparently i don ’ t have an inner - teenage girl . it ’ s no surprise that face off reaches it ’ s chart - topping potential when owowion use their respective talents to full effect . girlfriend proves bow learned a few things from his mentor jermaine dupri about turning snap - music into radio gold : the track divides vocal responsibilities straight down the middle with a catchy omarion chorus and verses from bow wow that gives his fans the swagger they want . girlfriend ’ s not on my personal playlist , but my niece can ’ t seem to get enough , and for owowion that means mission accomplished . i wouldn ’ t alert the grammy committee , but face off is full of well - crafted tracks like girlfriend that should give chris brown some competition for the hearts of young ladies everywhere . bow wow and o just didn ’ t manage to win my undying love … and i think everyone involved agrees that ’ s a good thing . as open - minded as i ’ m trying to be i just can ’ t get down with bow wow ’ s newfound pimperish style ; he can drop the “ lil ” all he wants , i still remember when he was 13 and rhyming about puppy love . that ’ s why i just can ’ t take tracks like hood star seriously ; even with a banging scott storch beat to back him up bow ’ s street swagger comes off as forced . he may drop ad libs like “ i ’ m a boss , watch your mouth boy , ” but i find it hard to believe he ’ d talk that big to some other hip - hop bosses - who else would pay to watch him try that line on rick ross ? bow - weezy gets another incredible opportunity to flow over an amazing throwback beat from def jam founder rick rubin on hey baby ( jump off ) , but he largely wastes the chance with lines like , “ i got one named brenda / put her on my agenda . ” i can ’ t deny bow - wizzle is a force in the game , but if he ’ s looking for respect from the mc community it ’ s not coming . plus he had ciara and messed it up . in my book that ’ s an unforgivable sin . it ’ s ultimately too easy to dismiss owowion as merely pretty faces , particularly the omarion side of the equation . o has proven that given the right guidance he can produce perfectly respectable hits ( see icebox ) , and face off continues to show glimpses of the artists he could become . the arrestingly electronic bachelor pad tries to recreate the icebox magic by featuring the kind of mind - boggling production from timbaland that ’ s incredibly become routine . omarion makes the most of his limited air time with unexpectedly creative vocal flourishes , but the tired subject matter ( take a wild guess what it ’ s about ) will limit bachelor pad from enjoying icebox - esque popularity . the spanish harlem - style number ones again shows the grown man potential of the former b2k leading boy ; while i would suggest he either work on his accent or never sing in spanish again , o ’ s verse is the work of a singer who understands how to ride a beat . i ’ m man enough to admit i enjoy the occasional omarion joint . are you ? i like to get into the proper mood for all my reviews , so in anticipation of bow wow and . . . get the plug app by djbooth and get the best hip - hop writing and news delivered daily . © the dj booth llc . original material is licensed under a creative commons license permitting non - commercial sharing with attribution .

Face Off, the collaborative album between Bow Wow and Omarion, received mixed reviews. While it reached chart-topping potential and appealed to its target demographic of teenage girls, critics found some aspects of the album lacking, such as Bow Wow's forced street swagger and shallow lyrics. Despite this, the album showed glimpses of the artists' potential, particularly Omarion's vocal flourishes and ability to produce respectable hits.

critical reception

and if it could be sustained throughout , gemini would be a classic . however , the record ’ s pace and trackorder is flawed . “ chinatown ” works melodically , but sounds weak compared to the first half of the album with a kind of reaching drum beat . most disappointing , though , is the album closer and title track “ gemini ” . it ’ s the only melody that has a failure for a hook ; the riff isn ’ t memorable and the lyrics are unintelligible . and because it ’ s the title - track , the listener wants to find some greater importance to the song that this listener simply can ’ t . it ’ s an unfortunate way to end an album that is otherwise brilliant . while tatum plays hopscotch with his collection of 4ad , factory , and slumberland records , gemini has plenty more to offer than sonic verisimilitude . on album opener " live in dreams , " he sings , " our lips won ' t last forever and that ' s exactly why / i ' d rather live in dreams and i ' d rather die , " and the lyric plays out like gemini in miniature : while tatum ' s words can edge on maudlin , his delivery is more romantic than dreary , and there ' s a sly , understated , and subtly addictive melody that gorgeously frames his sentiments . and melodies like that one , which the album features in spades , are ultimately what make gemini more than just another indie pop record , and often more than the sum of its parts . of course , that ' s not to say that each of them connects instantly . though a handful of immediate standouts reward first listens , the record ' s debt - to - influence ratio may initially seem to overshadow the strength of the music . however , repeat spins reveal tatum ' s strikingly innate sense of songcraft , as these tracks gradually earworm their way into daily life . i thought of this while repeatedly listening to wild nothing ’ s stunning work of art , gemini . though not a perfect record , the album manages to present a thoughtful piece of nostalgia for a time that jack tatum , the young singer / songwriter , never experienced : the 1980 ’ s . by my count he was at most two years old in the 80 ’ s , but our knowledge of the human brain practically validates his nostalgia piece as being as valid and potentially accurate as our own . like his kindred band , the pains of being pure at heart ( tpobah ) , and many of the chill - wave bedroom bands that are becoming fully realized ( memory tapes , toro y moi , aerial pink ) , somehow the british sound that never fit americans at the time of its conception is being predicted and made new through this type of dreamy fantasy . and while some might write off the obvious debt owed to tears for fears on “ drifter ” or johnny marr on “ bored games ” , doing so would be a mistake and you ’ d miss out on one of the most enjoyable records in recent memory . similar to bradford cox ' s early work as atlas sound or the more similarly indebted nick harte of shocking pinks , wild nothing doesn ' t feel like a facile genre exercise so much as honest personal expression borne of intense musical fanhood . and in a strange way , it becomes something of a deceptively joyous affair , a reminder of why so many songwriters retreat to bedrooms or garages to lose themselves in the music - making process . gemini is grand when it sulks , and even better when it ' s in motion - - check the falsetto hooks of " confirmation " and " summer holidays " , or the clattering , kinetic " chinatown " . tatum carves a tunnel from ibiza ' s beaches to manchester ' s rain - soaked fairgrounds , and in the process , captures a lot of what is exciting about underground music ' s current classic indie - pop fixation . and that ’ s one thing that this record does that i haven ’ t heard another solo - project - as - band succeed at . that is , that gemini sounds lonely . it ’ s like tatum sought robert smith and morrissey to keep him company when his family was gone and his band was imaginary . and to make music so solitary sounding and melancholy , yet still upbeat , is something that the first 80 ’ s revival didn ’ t seem to get and chill wave doesn ’ t even attempt . and though the song could easily be traded to tpobah , their aesthetics are distinct ( pains = more youthful sincerity , wild nothing = more old - soul clarity ) . wild nothing ' s achingly beautiful reflection of 80s dream - pop carves a tunnel from ibiza ' s beaches to manchester ' s rain - soaked fairgrounds . though some of indie ' s brightest leading men have come through virginia ' s halls of higher education ( steve malkmus , david berman , travis morrison ) , your average college rock band in the old dominion area probably sounds more like agents of good roots . so if you live in a place like blacksburg , va . , home of the virginia tech campus and not much else , and you want to be in a tropical punk act ( facepaint ) , an introspective singer - songwriter project ( jack & the whale ) , or a band that covers kate bush instead of dave matthews ( wild nothing ' s breakthrough rendition of " cloudbusting " ) , you ' ll probably have to do what jack tatum did and start them yourself . the chef talks his new album , the wild , and the records he continues to roll with . but it doesn ’ t all get this heavy . “ o , lilac ” and “ bored games ” provide an upbeat false front , like happiness seen through the haze of winter . the play - like takes on the stone roses , the latter using more new wave - y synth beats to turn the sound upside down as a straight homage . it ’ s these little details and moments that really shine , as they are all expertly crafted and solid melodically . when you have a whole album of consistently well - crafted pop music , the songs need to do more than just be good to standout . thus , the hand - clap finale of “ summer holiday ” and the falsetto chorus of “ confirmation ” turn decent songs into the kind of tracks you ’ ll include on mixes for girls or listen to on a long drive home by yourself . a promising preview of her third album , which is due out later this year . gemini finds tatum constructing a striking , solitary monument to just about anyone who moped , sulked , or bedsat their way through the 1980s . his love of dreamy , fuzzy , handcrafted guitar - pop isn ' t far removed from the radio dept . or the pains of being pure at heart , but he displays a more comprehensive and widespread commitment to classic indie pop sounds . revivalism notwithstanding , his craftsmanship is undeniable and the details are spot - on : check the reflective bell tone in " live in dreams " , the cocteau twins - like , artificial synth tom in " drifter " , and the johnny marr homage in the twinkly guitar fade - in that begins " our composition book " . i had a recent health issue / dream / possible side - effect of a wild youth that i brought to two friends of mine , trying to avoid a visit to the dreaded doctor . one , a recent uc irvine medical school graduate , was generally unconcerned . the other , a current harvard graduate student in evolutionary psychology , took more of an interest , mostly in how i described the experience . what was interesting to him was my recollection of the situation , how i described it , and what i chose to leave out or not remember . he noted that the human memory is one of the most fallible records we have , yet we rely on it for everything . criminals are judged based on memory , relationships maintained on them , as well . yet , anyone who has ever had a few too many drinks can tell you that the memory is easily tampered with even as relatively low amount of change is presented to its environment . individually , the songs work like a memory ; they can be shared but in the end , they are all your own . tatum makes these trusty sounds from decades past his own and even with the parts that don ’ t quite work , you know that they work for him . and that ’ s something gemini , a sign known for its duality , gets right more than it gets wrong . it knows when to hold something in and when to share it . tatum surely has more tricks up his sleeve and he is too young to mine the 80 ’ s for the rest of his life . it feels like we have only received a first glance ( ya know , besides his earlier , relatively unknown projects ) to a songwriter who is just starting to express himself and the life he dreams of . pitchfork is the most trusted voice in music . whether it ’ s a mother or a lover that he attempts to reach throughout ( beginning with the shatteringly sad “ live in dreams ” ) , it is clear that tatum would rather stay in the past than deal with the present . “ live in dreams ” states a desire t0 avoid aging and change and disintegration by dreaming , dying , or remembering . all are escape plans and song after song can be seen as little attempts to do one of these . or maybe he is trying to understand something or someone he can ’ t remember by reaching out to the music of the era . the lyrics are vague enough to find multiple readings , but lines like “ we all have eyes in the back of our heads ” plays on the cliche of hyper - awareness with a sort universal remembrance , because , indeed , there are histories and songs to take over where our memory can ’ t go . plus , copeland and belew give a track by track breakdown of the entire lp . plus , dean hurley , au revoir simone , the cactus blossoms , lissie , and the veils . the middle felice brother guides listeners along a trail of joyful and sorrowful memories . from telephono to hot thoughts , the frontman traces his career from guitars to robot girls . foo fighters , radiohead , and liam gallagher lift up england ’ s spirits . musical memories were revisited and created by the canadian artist . after a detour into folktronica , the british duo make a satisfying return to synthpop . a loving tribute and a true testament to the healing power of art . an enjoyable record that takes a small step back to the band ’ s past . this is a story about being young , remembering and forgetting , and searching for a lost new york . © 2007 -

the benefits and advantages of car park ventilation systems using the new twin discharge induction principal can be readily compared to similar installations using outdated impulse fans . such comparisons demonstrate that these older products have now been made obsolete . likewise the volumetric performance of induction fans can be determined and compared by the following : ( a ) the new induction fan can be supplied in both 50 and 100 newton versions . both are multi - speed . ( b ) the ultra slim silhouette of the fan allows each unit to be mounted above the driving lanes . obstacles such as columns and parked cars that can block the airflow have a minimal effect allowing maximum induction of air into the flow pattern . this is not possible with older impulse fans installed close to the wall or above parked vehicles . ( c ) measurements produced by independent consultants show that the induction fan can induce up to 19 times the air actually passing through the fan . this is substantially more than with any impulse or jet fan based on older axial technology . ( d ) the internal fully patented venturi ensures that the discharge of the eco - park ® induction fan does not need deflection blades that reduce efficiency and often hinder airflow . the combination of the above makes it possible to drastically reduce the number of thrust fans , inevitably leading to the many advantages outlined .

album

their self - titled debut was released in 1997 ; chamber music followed two years later . the album was a minor success but its mixture of goth rock imagery and nu metal thuggery made for an uneven album . they toured heavily behind it but by the time it came time to record the next album , bassist rayna foss - rose was gone to raise her daughter , leaving the band with nadja peulen . nadja took foss - rose ' s place during her pregnancy between the first two albums , but she accepted the invitation to come back as a full - time member during the recording of the next record . the resulting album , dark days , was released in the spring of 2002 . after 13 long years we ’ re back and heavier than ever with our brand new album ‪ # ‎ rivals ‬ ! don ’ t want to wait until morning ? get it right now on itunes ! buy now at http : / / bitly . com / cc - rivals coal chamber were formed in 1994 by vocalist / lyricist b . dez fafara and guitarist miguel " meegs " rascon , who met through a classified ad ; the two added drummer mike " mikee " cox and bassist rayna foss , the latter of whom heard about auditions through her roommate , fafara ' s future wife . a huge local buzz following gigs at the roxy and the whisky a go go , along with a demo tape championed by fear factory ' s dino cazares , got the band an opportunity to sign with roadrunner records late in 1994 , but fafara suddenly quit due to disagreements with his wife over the band . by the spring of 1995 , fafara changed his mind and returned , a decision that ultimately cost him his marriage , but a renewed sense of energy helped coal chamber regain their roadrunner deal by the end of the year . by may of that same year , the band had begun to fall apart , sparked by an on - stage altercation between fafara and rascon . the following year , after issuing a remix and rarities compilation called giving the devil his due , the bandmembers announced that they had officially broken up , with fafara continuing on with his new band , devildriver , with whom he would go on to release six studio albums . in 2011 coal chamber began hinting at a possible re - formation , and by 2013 they made it official , performing at download 2013 and hitting the road with sevendust , lacuna coil , and stolen babies . rivals , the band ' s first studio recording in 13 years , arrived in early 2015 via napalm records . ~ steve huey the wait is over ! ! check out our brand new music video for our title track ‪ # ‎ rivals ‬ ! filmed at koko london ! order “ rivals ” now : http : / / shop . napalmrecords . com / coalchamber on tour this summer ! w / fear factory , devil you know , saint ridley and madlife : 7 / 24 : tucson , az @ rialto theater 7 / 25 : albuquerque , nm @ sunshine theater … coal chamber broke out of the los angeles alternative metal scene in 1997 with a sound often compared to korn , although both bands formed around the same time and are quality representations of the scene ' s overall sound - - the heavy , detuned guitars of the murkiest black sabbath ; grungy , noisy textures reminiscent of white zombie or tool ; the white - knuckle intensity of pantera and hardcore punk ; and perhaps a few hip - hop - influenced beats à la biohazard . copyright © coal chamber | official site . all rights reserved . more ways to shop : visit an apple store , call 1 - 800 - my - apple , or find a reseller . copyright © 2017 apple inc . all rights reserved .

a woofer in tweeter ' s clothing was released in february 1973 . it was not very successful and did not reach the billboard 200 in the us . " girl from germany " was belatedly released as a single in the uk following the group ' s surprise success but was without success . the album did however lead to a tour of the united kingdom , including a residency at the marquee in london , which , despite much heckling during performances , helped them to secure a significant cult following . an appearance on the bbc television ' s old grey whistle test led to wider interest , regardless of a cold reception from the show ' s host bob harris .

Sparks' album Hippopotamus reached No. 7, and the duo thanked fans for buying copies.
