Camel - Curriculum Vitae [2003] (DVD)

Curriculum Vitae recounts the history of Camel as told by original band members Andrew Latimer, Doug Ferguson, Andy Ward, and Peter Bardens — who sadly passed away just months later, making this his last recorded interview.

You'll see rare footage of the band performing many classic tracks from various stages of their career from the early 1970's to 2000 and hear a touching account of the challenges, successes, and tragedies that befell this tenacious group which has grown into a unique musical entity.

Over 30 years have passed since Latimer, Ferguson and Ward met and began this creative journey as The Brew. This historical account is made that much more special having come full circle with a reunion of the trio, captured on video and included as BONUS FOOTAGE. Together, Andrew, Doug and Andy tell amusing stories of their first meetings with great fondness. An excerpt of rehearsals during their March/April 2003 recording session at Little Barn studios will give viewers a taste of the all new, original material scheduled for release in late 2003. For more information check Camel's web site.

Camel wish to respectfully acknowledge Paul Burgess (drums; 1984 & 1992), Stuart Tosh (drums; 1982 tour), and Andy Dalby (rhythm guitar; 1982 tour), who were unavailable for photos and details; and Richie Close (keyboards; 1984 tour) who passed away in 1987.

Andrew Latimer & Peter Bardens interviewed by Peter Woods, Chrysalis Television. Andy Ward interviewed by Debbie Young,

Chrysalis Television.

"All alone and all together,
everyday, come what may.
By the time we find each other,
we can live, we can die
and nothing stops the river as it flows by,
Nothing stops the river as It flows,.."

Peter Bardens (1944-2002)

Се думав нешто...

... И мислам дека најпосле, после не знам кој пат, нема да ми го тргнат постот за ејсидиси, за новиот албум црнмраз. И си викам, шо на пример, ако успеам да ги зезнам овие гуглерски ботови, и да не поставам ни слика ни никаково инфо за албумот, пошто преку тасета ми дојде веќе да ми го бришат линкот. Затоа, едноставно, еден линк овде, од депозит фајлс, друг онде, од летитбит, и за секој случај, трет, овде, од ај фолдер. Квалитетот на албумот е 224 kbps, и то.
Уживајте. :)

P.S. .|. 8=====D

И еден поголем за капиталистите... :)

Eela Craig - Eela Craig [1971]


Now, there's a piece of music I haven't heard it in a while... Lucky that I found it somewhere in my phonograph collection, so I could once more remember the good times I had while listening to this album. Maybe the best Austrian Prog-Rock band ever, and one of the most influential Prog-Rock bands in the history, responsible for the Austrian progressive movement, with the prime mover Hubert Bognermayr (keyboards and vocals). This is their first album, and by my opinion, their best. After this album, followed "One Niter" ('76), "Hats of Glass" (’77), "Missa Universalis" (’78), "Virgin Oiland" (’80), "Hit or Miss" (’88) and "Symphonic Rock" (from ’95 containing the 2nd and 3rd LP on 1 CD). A warm recommendation to all Progressive Rock lovers, this is A Must Have! album. I hope You'll enjoy it, and will wait for your impressions.

R.I.P. Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley, the guitar master and rock and roll innovator known as "The Originator" behind the hits "Who Do You Love" and "I'm a Man," died yesterday of heart failure in his Archer, Fla., home. He was 79.

Diddley's syncopated, "chunk, cha-chunk-chunk, chunk, chunk" scratch guitar sound was so distinctive it became known as the "Bo Diddley beat" and went on to become one of rock's building blocks, used in everything from Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" and The Who's "Magic Bus" to Bruce Springsteen's "She's the One" and U2's "Desire."

He was born Ellas Bates in McComb, Miss., in 1928, and raised by his mother's cousin, Gussie McDaniel, whose surname he took, becoming Ellas McDaniel at age 7. He landed the nickname Bo Diddley during his stint as an amateur boxer.

He formed his first band, The Hipsters, in 1951 and landed a record deal with the Chess Records subsidiary, Checker, in 1955. His first release was a double A-side single with "Bo Diddley" and "I'm a Man" - songs that, along with Chuck Berry's early work, would bridge the gap between rhythm and blues and the new sound of rock and roll.

Though he didn't enjoy the chart success of many of his contemporaries, Diddley, who was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and received a lifetime achievement Grammy in 1998, did carry a great deal of influence, even leading The Jesus and Mary Chain to immortalize him with the song "Bo Diddley Is Jesus."

"If Bo Diddley was English, I think he should be knighted," Tom Petty once said. "Actually, this country should build a monument in every state to Bo Diddley. Elvis is King. But Diddley is Daddy."

He was known not just for his songwriting, but in his actual guitar technique, which brought distortion and other special effects into the mainstream, through his use of handmade electric guitars, and in his lyrics and imagery.

The way he referred to himself in the third person in hits such as "Bo Diddley," "Diddley Daddy" and "Hey! Bo Diddley," made him a forerunner of early hip-hop rhymes. He even had a hit with "Say Man," a bit of verbal sparring with his maracas player that was an early form of battle rapping.

Diddley was also known for his live shows, offering incredible solos and coaxing otherworldly sounds out of his homemade rectangular guitars for more than five decades. Playing on bills with everyone from the Rolling Stones to the Clash and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Diddley maintained an aggressive touring schedule up until his recent illness.

He suffered a stroke in May after a performance in Council Bluffs, Iowa. On Aug. 24, 2007, he suffered a heart attack during a routine medical checkup after he complained of dizziness and nausea.

Diddley is survived by his children, Evelyn Kelly, Ellas A. McDaniel, Tammi D. McDaniel and Terri Lynn McDaniel, a brother, the Rev. Kenneth Haynes, as well as 15 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.

BO DIDDLEY



REAL NAME Ellas Bates



BIGGEST HITS "Bo Diddley" (No. 1 R&B Singles, 1955); "I'm a Man" (No. 1 R&B Singles, 1955); "Say Man" (No. 3, R&B Singles, 1959)



SONGS RECORDED BY Jimi Hendrix ("I'm a Man"); Rolling Stones ("Mannish Boy"); Eric Clapton ("Before You Accuse Me"); The Kinks ("Cadillac")

AWARDS Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1987); Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (1998); inducted into National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (1998).

Russian Circles - Station [2008]

The proverbial wind that is always gusting from Chicago never seems to cease but in terms of its most promising musical exports, that breeze proves to be a piercing and chilling gale of heaving guitars and spacey resonance.

Formed in the Windy City in 2004, Russian Circles were born and from the beginning it was their concoction of metal trimmings, minimal jazz primers, and cryptic riffs that hit the scene out of nowhere with the pummeling impact of a rouge comet crashing in from the skies. Their music weaves up an intense and cinematic albeit soothing clobbering that cannot be put into words but instead into forms of audible head trips that defies pigeonholing. “There is so much categorization out there” notes guitarist Mike Sullivan. “I think our sound is just too broad to be labeled as any sort of sub-genre”.

Their self titled and self released EP from 2005 sold out shortly after their initial pressings. It wasn’t long before their 2006 debut long player, Enter, dropped with a booming impact and saw them sharing the stage with the likes of Tool, Dalek, Daughters and Pelican. Aside from their coinciding performance at that year’s annual South by Southwest industry showcase, which managed to drop jaws all over the Live Music Capital of the World, Russian Circles have managed to progress forward with a newfangled approach toward their live performances. Their lumbering layers of chiseled post rock and feathery psychedelic infusions have both revved and enticed the listeners into mental orgasms the world over.

Station, was recorded at Seattle’s Studio Litho with producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus the Bear and Isis.) When asked about the recording process Sullivan cites Bayles as a driving force behind the album’s precise synergy. “He’s intense in the studio but in a good way”. Joining Sullivan and Dave Turncrantz (Drums) on the recording was These Arms are Snakes / Botch bassist Brian Cook with Morgan Henderson of The Blood Brothers also lending his skills on double bass to the track “Xavii”.

If one aspect remained a summit that the band had scaled, it was making sure that the sequencing was spot on to give Station an “album feel” making it suitable for a cohesive listen from beginning to end.

While Russian Circles are picking up where they left off with Enter, Station is guaranteed to be a new passage for a band already known for paving their own unique paths of sonic tundra’s that jolt the mind and body and will not only leave it’s mark on 2008 but on the future influence of music as a whole.

In a few words, the album is a masterpiece, and the band is a true discovery!

Tracklist:

01 - Campaign [6:40]
02 - Harper Lewis [7:16]
03 - Station [8:43]

Yahel - Hoenig - Moreno - Blake - Jazz Side of the Moon (The Music of Pink Floyd) [2008]

After the King Crimson Songbook, here is another Jazz tribute to a great band. This time, one of the greatest of all time - Pink Floyd. They say that "great musicians do tributes to greater musicians". In this case, the sentence is right. Sam Yahel, Ari Hoenig, Mike Moreno and Seamus Blake have done their best to show a descent, jazzy respect to their colleagues from Pink Floyd, and at the end, all of it to represent one of the best Pink Floyd tributes ever made. After the Vocomotion - Dark Side of the Moon (A Capella), Jazz Side of the Moon is the second PF tribute that is a Must Have piece of music.

Tibet - Tibet [1978]


A German one-album band. Although they had only one release, this is a piece of music that any proghead should have it in it's collection. Tibet was formed in 1972 , inspired from bands like The Beatles, Third Ear Band...

As I sad, this album is an excellent addition to any progressive rock collection.

02. City by the Sea 4:24
03. White Ships and Icebergs 6:15
04. Seaside Evening 4:13
