Flashback Friday - Not Quite... 2007-03-16 11:14:00 I'll be gone in a FLASH, and won't be BACK for three weeks...yep, that's right. As of tomorrow, I will start my well-earned (stop laughing there in the back!) holiday, and since no one has invented underwater-blogging yet, there won't be anything new for you to read here. I'll be back after Easter (if I'm not kidnapped by the Easterbunny, that is!).But before I go, there are a few things I wanted to share with you:First of all, AirSpiel has given me permission to post three more songs from their album (read about it here). Better still, these are my three favourites. How good is that? The band also has a profile on bebo (click here) where they will be featured for the whole next week, and you can stream the complete album there. Last but not least, visit their homepage to order the album for only £6.50... I'm sure you can afford that! So here are the songs:I Woke Up One DayHomeFinal ChapterFurther on, tWAMi has posted a quite excellent remix of New Legs, a song by Danish/Swedi Read more:Friday
Meeting Blackfield - Part II 2007-03-15 13:07:00 Continuing the post from yesterday; here's the interview with Blackfield
's Steven Wilson:Hey everybody. What are you talking about?MOTM: We were talking about God, World politics and the deeper meaning of life.OK then… let me know then what you want to talk about with me, alright? (laughs)I was just asking Aviv if he knew where you hide your time-machine to manage all the projects you're working on.hmm… I just don't have a private life at the moment. I'm constantly working.Good for your fans.yeah, but not so good for me. But that's the way it is, I just can't stop myself.This is your second concert with Blackfield in Switzerland; I've seen you here with Porcupine Tree four times, and with every concert, the audience grew bigger. Do you think this will work as well with Blackfield?I hope so, 'cause the last time we played here with Blackfield, there were about 50 people in the audience. I really hope this is a trend, at least it was for the rest of Europe. Most of the shows
Meeting Blackfield - Part I 2007-03-14 20:55:00 More interviews for you today. Here's the first part of the Blackfield
interview, and some more of the fotos I took. When we came backstage, Steven Wilson was still busy with the soundcheck, so we started the interview with Aviv Geffen. Here we go:MOTM: Aviv, you're already a big name back in Israel; how is it for you to tour Europe?I'm a bit of a symbol for the younger generation in Israel. Nonetheless the audiences are bigger here in Europe. We have been on the road now for one week and every evening, there are about 800 to 1000 people attending our gigs. Just take a look at our MySpace-site… we have entries from all over the world. It all doesn't look too bad, does it?Were there already plans for a second album when Blackfield I was released in 2004?When Steven and I met for the first time, it was something like love at first sight. He liked my songs, I admire his production skills and he's a great guitarist. We started with four songs and intended to release an EP, but the r
AirPlay For AirSpiel 2007-03-13 15:20:00 I've mentioned Glasgow band AirSpiel on various occasions on my blog, and finally, the band has finished and released their debut album In Another Life. It's a collection of well-crafted, epic rock tunes with great potential to get stuck in your head once you've heard them. Album-opener Sign Away for example builds up slowly and is brought to an enormous finale with crashing guitars, guided by the significant singing of David Merry. It's him that gives AirSpiel that distinctive feel; his voice changes from melancholic to angry and is always recognizable. But his four bandmates are in no way put into the background. The guitar solos are always in the right place (especially good on title-track In Another Life), there's some nice piano/keyboard work (Home is a perfect example for that), and the bass and drums are also put to good use. All in all, this is a very enjoyable ride!The band has agreed to do an interview, and here's what they had to say (DM is singer Dave Merry, and JH i
Look Closer 2007-03-11 17:19:00 Today, I'm even too lazy to put together a lazy Sunday mix. But here's the video to the first single from Scotsmen Travis' next album. Nice cameo there from a certain well-known actor! :)And I've finally managed to upload some new pictures to this other blog of mine: http://respics.blogspot.com/. Hope you'll like them.Have a nice and lazy Sunday!
Short... But Not Really 2007-03-05 17:29:00 Instead of reading something here, I ask you to spend the next 9 1/2 minutes watching and listening to this new piece of art by iLiKETRAiNS:absolutely marvellous!!! The single is out on March 26th, and you can preorder it here. Read more:Short
Flashback Friday - Why Does It Hurt When My Heart Misses A Beat? 2007-03-02 09:52:00 It was in 1982 when Propaganda saw the light of day. Founded by former Krupps-member Ralf Dörper, Andreas Thein and Susanne Freytag, the trio recorded two demos which haven't been released until this very day. A few months later, Michael Mertens and Claudia Brücken joined the band, and shortly after that, English label ZTT (later famous for Frankie Goes To Hollywood) signed Propaganda. The first release was the single Dr. Mabuse, produced by none other than Trevor Horn. The production was quite something at that time, as it was one of the first records using sampling and computer-based recording techniques.Dr. Mabuse turned out to be a world-wide success and was highly acclaimed as a perfectly produced pop-song. A lot of costly and sophisticated remixes followed (find one of them below), and the accompanying video added very much to the avant-garde-touch the band already had. I still think the first video - shot in black and white - is one of the best ever released. It still hasn't Read more:Friday
