Presented in a Limited Edition of 4000 copies - "Ritual Noise" heralds the return of possibly the finest electro band of the last 10 years. Deftly transcending genre restrictions this six track Maxi confirms their place amongst the greats of the scene. Their first release proper since 2002's futuristic masterpiece "Northern Light", "Ritual Noise" sees the three Swedish maestros toiling over their machines to deliver another seminal slice of perfect electro-pop genius. From the opening metallic vocoder refrain to the pummelling tribal rhythms and melodic synth washes - its pure, pristine Covenant taking in elements of classic albums "Sequencer" and "United States Of Mind" along the way - with the polished production of "Northern Light" adding a unified sparkle to proceedings. This emotional brilliance ( only Covenant can write an emotional dance track like this ) carried by Eskil Simonsson's never-better vocals bodes well for upcoming Brand New album "Skyshaper" released early in 2006. "Ritual Noise" includes the title track in 'Edit', 'Main' and 'Version S' incarnations alongside the unreleased tracks "The Island" and "XRDS" plus a stunning Terrence Fixmer Remix of the title track too.

The immortal 4AD label celebrates its 25th anniversary in spectacular style with the essential budget priced 2CD compilation "1980 Forward - 25 Years Of 4AD" exploring the highways and byways of the label's legendary history. While 4AD will remain forever associated with the ambient swirls and fairy-tale vocals of the Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil, in its first decade it also introduced the world to Bulgarian choral music, worked at the cutting edge of American underground rock music with Throwing Muses, The Pixies and Red House Painters, and even tasted unlikely pop success when Colourbox and A R Kane collaborated (as M/A/R/R/S) on the groundbreaking house collage "Pump Up The Volume", a UK number one single. Later, after The Breeders had taken the world by storm with "Cannonball" and "The Last Splash", the label could be found releasing rootsy Americana by Tarnation and Mojave 3 and exploring quirky electronica from Iceland's Gus Gus and Birmingham's Magnétophone, as well as enjoying fruitful long-term relationships with artists like Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance), Kim Deal, Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly, all of whom continue to record for 4AD.

I saw it. Good movie.
I give it a Kipling rating of ****

Discovered by their like-minded counterparts The Retrosic, German electro act Dunkelwerk finally unveil their Brand New debut album for the Alfa Matrix label. After several remixes and compilation appearances the time has now come to unleash one of the darkest Electro assaults in years...

Stunning debut ''Troops'' takes its influence from the searing imagery and barren wastelands of WW I and II - strong, powerfull electronics combine with sorrowful orchestral arrangements and surging, marching beats to create a towering atmosphere of loneliness, defeat and despair. Dunkelwerk invite the listener on one of the darkest sonic journeys on the Alfa Matrix label to date, with tracks such as ''Bastard'', ''Underfire'', ''Die Sechste Armee'', ''Hymn'' and ''Dresden'' 100% club assaults benefiting from the trained ears of sound engineer Len Lemeire ( Implant, Anne Clarke ) Dunkelwerk deliver uncompromising Endzeit Electro with a strong attitude and imagery comparable to :Wumpscut: and The Retrosic but with their own sound and conceptual approach.

The latest masterpiece of innovative electronics from Architect mastermind Daniel Myer ( Haujobb, Destroid etc ) - "The Analysis Of Noise Trading" combines the roughness of ( deleted debut ) "Galactic Supermarket" and previous opus "I Went Out Shopping" resulting in a balance between breaks, resonating sound-bites and dissonate ambience. However, this combination may be more subtle than first realized - for example, track 2 starts very calm ( although in a 'distorted bass' kind of way ) setting both tone and direction for "The Analysis's..." path : a straight but syncopated attack which includes breaks, clicks, vocals and ( of course ) noise placed alongside vocals and vocal samples that have become more important in the Architect's overall soud design. For this release, vocals are embedded and are reminiscent of D.Myers pre-architectural work in more commercial areas and proove an exciting alternative to the mostly instrumental idm scene. An album as excellent as previous Architect works - fully satisfying for indoor and outdoor listeners.

project, new band Frozen Plasma continues the NNB formula with striking, machine driven ultra-melodic electropop. Now signed to the German Infacted label and including the vocal talents of Felix Marc ( DIORAMA ) Frozen Plasma present "Hypocrite" - including the album track, 2 Remixes and exclusive song "Betrayed". The first single from this post-NamNamBulu project comes delivered with the same musical quality and high technical level that is sure to propel this new project back to the top of the electro-pop scene.

The release of the "Suicide Bombers" EP marks the official and strong return of the cult Danish electronic industrial artist Claus Larsen. It was in the early 90's when Leaether Strip rapidly established his position on the music map, reaching an unprecedented popularity in both the European and American electro scenes. While drawing on the powerful angst seen in other electro acts such as Front 242, Skinny Puppy and even Nine Inch Nails, Leaether Strip rapidly earned the reputation to carry a deeper message and meaning in his work through his very personal intense music and the often emotional, sometimes political dimension of his lyrics. On January 13th 2006, Leaether Strip celebrate its 18 years of existence and Claus Larsen has chosen that very special day to unleash his much anticipated new album aptly titled "After The Devastation". Although 5 years of silence almost killed him, it is by putting his pain into music, again, that Claus Larsen has managed to resurface from a deep depression to feel today stronger and more confident than ever before. Once mentally blocked, his inspiration flow was so intense over the last months that the new Leaether Strip album could be nothing else but a Double CD set. By far his most personal and open-hearted album ever, "After The Devastation" alternates from the very intimate to more political oriented songs. Both musically and vocally, Leaether Strip simply continues his unique sound tradition while expanding in more diverse ways than anything he's done before. The harsh aggressive EBM tone given by the "Suicide Bombers" EP finds new inspiration in punishing tracks such as the autobiographical "Back In Control", the adrenaline-pumping "Slam" and the corrosive "One Man's Gain - Another Man's Pain". Of course, Claus Larsen delivers the typical Leaether Strip anthems constructed around upbeat electronics, dark symphonic melodies and distorted vox on songs like the straight and engaged "Homophobia", "Give Us Some Shelter ( Katrina )" and "Gaza Strip - The March Of The Innocent". Claus Larsen also explores more melodic realms with very catchy dark themed tunes such as the emotional pearl "Dying Is Easy - Life Is Harder", "What If", a totally rewritten version of "Carry Me - 2006" and the challenging "A Boy". Being a Double-CD album also of course leaves enough space for more surprising experiments such as on the bombastic and splendid "The Shame Of A Nation", the electro-punk of "Happy Pills ( Gimme Gimme )", the symphonic "Inner Exploration", the electro-clash swagger of "Junkie Do" and the excellent "Smerte" which with its Danish lyrics and intricate arrangements evokes the ghost of bands such as Das Ich...

Through his career Leaether Strip has explored various music styles within the electronic genre and this is what he continues to do at his very best, offering what will rapidly be referred to as his most outstanding effort to date with enough force, anger and emotion to please all fans of edgy-soulful, dark and uplifting electronic music. Ultimately with "After The Devastation" Leaether Strip keeps his promise to his fans and returns for more electronic mayhem - proving once more that even though he has been copied by many over the years, he always remains the real deal - and a true leader when it comes to dark electro industrial music.

COLLIDE

COLLIDE has been a studio band content to live within the walls of their studio creating a music which has often been described as “darkwave cyber industrial”. After eleven years of making music and releasing 3 full length CD’s and 2 remix CD’s, the constant question of "would they ever play live?" began to haunt the duo. They gathered some very talented players to help interpret the sound from the studio to the stage. If you were ever wondering what it would be like to attend a COLLIDE show, this DVD will answer the question with a 14 song, 65-minute live concert. What makes this concert even more interesting, is that although COLLIDE has been making music for many years, this was only their ninth live show ever. COLLIDE enlisted talented visionary Kevin McVey to help with the DVD shoot. This concert takes place at the historic El Rey Theater in Los Angeles - USA and was filmed with 5 cameras and was recorded digitally into a Pro-Tools HD system. The "Live at the El Rey" part of the DVD also features a second angle (crane camera) for viewing during the entire concert. The entire concert is presented in widescreen, 16:9 format.

In addition, the DVD includes two of COLLIDE's videos also directed by Kevin McVey -"Euphoria" and "Son of a Preacherman". Like the Hunted will also include a video by newcomer Gabriel McIntyre, with his contemporary take on "Razor Sharp". The DVD also includes footage of Collide's West Coast tour for the songs "Like You Want to Believe" and "Wings of Steel", as well as a 17-minute interview and outtake piece entitled "The Modification”. “Like The Hunted” also features COLLIDE unplugged, performing the songs "Deep" and "Modify". Finally, it includes a photo gallery of over 150 photos.

What is the name of Doug Moreland's singing dog?



In December 1995, Doug found a McNab/border collie puppy he named Jalapeño (pronounced Holly-peño). He trained her to play the fiddle as well as sing.

Having turned their future-pop sound on its head ( while still retaining their considerable core melody and arrangement skills ) with a new electro / rockier format, Norweigen's finest Apotygma Berzerk return with the second single lifted from the Limited Edition version of their Brand New album "You And Me Against The World". This Limited Edition Maxi version of "Shine On" ( a cover of The House Of Love classic ) includes the title track alongside two exclusive new tracks ( "Black Pawn" & "Friendly Fire" ) and remixes from According To Phillip and Drugwar.

A LOOK AT COUNTRY MUSIC & THE PEOPLE MAKING IT TODAY

Linda Hargrove Back With First Album Since 1987

Hit songwriter Linda Hargrove charmed a small crowd of music industry figures at Nashville's BMI headquarters Tuesday (Oct. 25) with songs and stories from her new album, One Woman's Life. Although Hargrove had relatively little chart impact as an artist in the '70s and '80s, several of the songs she wrote or co-wrote became standards, including "Just Get Up and Close the Door" (for Johnny Rodriguez), "I've Never Loved Anyone More" (Lynn Anderson) and "Let It Shine" (Olivia Newton-John). At the album release party, Hargrove reminisced about working with legendary steel guitarist Pete Drake, who introduced her to one of her co- writers, former Monkees guitarist Michael Nesmith. Hargrove also performed four original songs, including "Tennessee Whiskey," George Jones' 1983 hit that has logged more than 1 million radio airplays. One Woman's Life is Hargrove's first album since 1987.

Garth Brooks will perform a tribute to his late friend when Chris LeDoux is honored with the CMA Chairman's Award of Merit during the upcoming CMA Awards show in New York. In announcing the award, CMA board chairman Kix Brooks noted, "Chris embodies everything that's great about country music. He lived with passion, integrity and a commitment to big dreams. It's how he rodeoed, and it was how he made his music. Chris wasn't larger than life, he was life." LeDoux is the first recipient of the award. Brooks will perform his current single, "Good Ride Cowboy," with LeDoux's band, Western Underground. LeDoux, a former world champion bronc rider, died in March of cancer. The CMA Awards will be held Nov. 15 in New York at Madison Square Garden.

Geldof named Man of Peace

The debut album from Spanish electro act Com.Pulsion, ''Machines'' delivers 11 tracks and nearly 60 minutes of mixed-up electronic soundscapes with indie influences and alternative-rock attitude. Following in the footsteps of acts such as Culture Kultur, Pail and Narsilion the trio of Luis ( vocals / programming ), Juan ( Keyboards / programming ) and Miguel ( Keyboards ) put all their skills and hard labour to bring forth their truly original compositions - songs with a hard edge and dark undercurrents delivered for fans of bands such as Depeche Mode, Mesh, De/Vision etc...

cream? cool a little pressed rat never hurt anyone

Reunited Cream ready to rock the U.S.

NEW YORK - The rock supergroup Cream is excited to be reuniting again -- this time to play three shows in New York City. "We're kind of in the same place at the same time," says Eric Clapton, who formed the group in 1966 with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Cream released four albums before breaking up in 1968. "We were feeling like it would be good to do something worthwhile, not just leave that as a memory," Clapton adds. "When everyone was still available to do it, why not?" Before this year, Cream's only public performance since breaking up was at its 1993 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. The trio reunited for shows in May in England, which yielded the CD and DVD set "Royal Albert Hall London May 2-3-5-6 2005." Cream will play Oct. 24-26 at Madison Square Garden. No other shows have been announced.

This week

Eriisa: Downloading most copyrighted music is illegal, but a lot of local bands & such find per to per a great way to spread their music around.

Also some bands (not all) say it is OK to download live music from concerts and such (not copies of Live CD's) - but music which you can only find over the per to per.

It is illegal, but I believe some sites still participate in it. I havent been on one in a LONG time....


*quick look around for ASCAP* and I only looked! lol

baddessi: I thought that too.

Joanna Newsom

Eriisa: I thought that was illegal and that you by law had to pay for downloads now

Isn't Limewire one of those peer2peer download sites where music downloads are done without any royalties going to the performers?

Pawn Reaper: Once you master those chords, you will find the rest easier. F played in the 3rd fret, is G, but it may help with your finger positioning and prevent that annoying "thud" we all experienced when learning. ;0)

harley:

Thank you.

Nirvana: This is by far the cheapest and best shop I have found for CD's/DVD's and all kinds of PC stuff! I always buy from these. And if you have a problem they reply straight away - I had something on next day delivery and it didn't arrive. I sent them an email about 11pm, got a reply within half an hour! They tracked it and sorted it by 10am the next day.

http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/audiocdr_new.html

Or you could just invest in MP3 players for them!

harley:

I'm pleased with it so far ~ my daughters have not yet discovered it is on this computer (they prefer to hide their icons) but once they do I will have to get more blank cdroms for them to burn on to.

Nirvana: Thats Limewire :o) I use it all the time, its a great programme.

this is a Public Discussion Board, not a private fellowship to which subscribers only have access.
This mean that Pawns too may post here, so please, if anyone has some thing to contribute here or a query, don't be shy, please feel free to post, ask or whatever.

I have had a couple of people send me messages asking for the name of a particular song, which has been used in an advertisment for something.

The lyrics sung begin with 'Svetlana sucks lemons ...'

Well I have managed to find the answer ~ the song is 'This side of Blue' on an album called 'The Milk-Eyed Mender' by Joanna Newsom, released on 23rd March 2004, but sadly no longer available to purchase.

However with the help of someone in a hospital radio station, I was directed to:
www.limewire.com

This is a so far very efficient download site, which has a choice of PRO which costs and BASIC which is completely free.
It is simple to install, you do not need to restart in order to complete installation, and you can begin downloading whatever it is you want immediately. Type in what you want and hopefully you will be happy with the outcome.

Pawn Reaper: I know British Sign Language.

Pawn Reaper:

Oh and I also replied to your comment to do with sign langauge ~ repeated here in case you missed it, as it was quite a way down ~


I consulted the R.N.I.D and was advised that these people may be able to help you.
www.British Sign.co.uk

Hope that's a help to you?

Pawn Reaper:

There are quite a few here who do ~ sorry but I do not.


Green Day
(I noticed your post to do with them)

Does anyone play guitar? And if so, can you tell me an easy way to play an F Chord or a Bm Chord? Both are hard to position your fingers...

smelly socks:

I can too

Nirvana: It was patronising to the tune of $100 million plus. I can live with that.
