Audiogon Music News June
Well Audiogoners I’m now in my new place, we got delayed but we got there.
Work on the proposed half yearly review extravaganza will commence shortly so hopefully there will be something for Audiogoners to get their teeth and ears into in the not too distant future.
A couple of small tit bits the Eno re-masters (done using DSD but not SACD releases at this stage) are well worth investment as they are a big sonic improvement from the original CD’s, his ambient work should benefit enormously from this when they are released.
Finally I have it on good authority that JJ Cable’s new album To Tulsa And Back is excellent.
RUSH-Canadian rockers who have just kicked off their 30th anniversary tour have an album of cover versions by artists who influenced them.
Released later this month the album is called Feedback.
It features their interpretation of 60’s classics by Love, The Who, Buffalo Springfield, Cream and The Yardbirds.
BRIAN WILSON-has his 5th solo album Gettin’ In Over My Head due out later this month and features a duet with Paul McCartney.
He is also currently concluding work on a new version of the legendary lost Beach Boys album SMILE which is due for release in September.
FACES-Rhino/Warner Bros. shortly release a 4 CD box set compiled by Ian MacLagan of the seminal 70’s British rockers, it features various unreleased tracks both live and in the studio.
Most awaited track is a version of John Lennon’s Jealous Guy.
David Fricke has written the liner notes and probably asks whatever did happen to Kenney Jones, Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart?
PAGE & PLANT—There are informed rumours that these two gents are back in the studio again however could the news that the Unledded concert is being released on DVD later in the Autumn with extra material have anything to do with it?.
PHIL MANZANERA--Has a new studio album 6PM out on the 5th of July and features a rather impressive set of contributors: Dave Gilmour, Brian Eno, Chrissie Hynde, Robert Wyatt and fellow Roxy Music members Paul Thompson and Andy Mackay.
THE MOODY BLUES/SACD-No less than 6 of the first seven Moody Blues albums will be released on SACD with 5.1 Surround mixes based on the original Quad mixes.Only In Search Of The Lost Chord will not be available in 5.1
All albums feature various outtakes and live material and all discs will be doubles on the Universal label.
NICK MASON-Pink Floyd sticks man has his long awaited personal history of Floyd published in September by Weidenfeld & Nicholson entitled INSIDE OUT: A PERSONAL HISTORY OF FLOYD.
Let’s hope he kept notes.
.
ROGER WATERS-Has allegedly completed his 20 year ongoing Opera project.
Ca Ira is the title and according to his manager is a modern classical piece based on the French Revolution as opposed to a rock opera.
SOCK’S BEARD-Are currently recording a new album their second without Neil Morse, its release is planned for autumn along with a tour.
HEART- Have Little Queen, Dog And Butterfly and Bebe Le Strange re- released on CD by Epic/Legacy on June 29th.
Amongst the bonus material is a live version of Stairway To Heaven.
KINGS OF LEON-Have completed their second album entitled A-ha Shake Heartbreak.
Produced by Ethan Johns it’s due for release later in the year.
THE CURE-Return from a lengthy hiatus with a new album entitled The Cure on Geffen.
Production reigns have been passed over to Ross Robinson (At The Drive In, Korn and er...Slipknot) instead of the usual Robert Smith
PAUL SIMON-29TH of June sees the release of a 9, yes 9 CD box set entitled STUDIO RECORDINGS 1972-2000 on Warners in the US.
Each solo album is re-mastered with the obligatory bonus tracks.
1983’s Hearts Ands Bones is something of a lost classic in my humble opinion.
TOM WAITS-Has a new album Real Gone released in the autumn.
ELLIOT SMITH-Who died in mysterious circumstances, last year has his final album FROM A BASEMENT ON A HILL released sometime in the autumn.
His father Gary is completing the project.
Smith’s most famous work was his songs featured in The Good Will Hunting movie.
GRAM PARSONS-Finally Sacred Hearts & Fallen Angels: The Gram Parsons Anthology will shortly be released by Rhino.
Featuring material from his whole career (The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Bros.etc) this 2-CD retrospective is currently being rated as the best overview of his work.
It features some unreleased material and I’m taking it for granted it’s mostly been re-mastered as GP and Grievous Angel sound horrific on CD.
