Re-evaluation -Part 10 - Dead Can Dance

A band that is deeply personal to me. Discovered them an absolute age ago, was taken in by the almost tribal drumming of a track called Frontier. Although aware of them as far back as 1986. It wasnt until about 1990 that I started listening to the other albums, and then sort of disovered one a year until about 2000. They split in late 1990s as they had probably gone as far as they could go.

The music of dead Can Dance I would describe as other worldly. The first album was poorly produced but still had highlights and got them to a wider audience, they were offered a one album deal with 4AD. Spleen and Ideal album from 1985 was the album that sort of showed what was to come. Lisa Gerrards tracks were like operatic gothic masterpieces. Her vocal style was speaking in tongues in high pitched.A amazing singer who would have been a classical artist. The other tracks by Brendan Perry were my favrioutes, his songs were like Scott Walker singing over the most epic songs you can dream of. The use of instruments with his tracks were spacious and were full of romantic idealism and lyrics that cut to the bone.

Dead Can Dance formed in the 2005 period for a reunion tour. Brendan Perry has a solo career. Something tells me things just are not over yet.

Re-Evaluation - Part 9 -New Order

New Order are a bit like Kraftwerk in some respects. They were influenced by them but they released such a series of groundbreaking albums in the 80s. Like a trilogy, from Movement in 1981 to Technique in 1989. With their critical success and financial pressures (hacienda ) caused them to sign to a mjaor label. The Lines between the Electronbic albums and New Order albums that followed were pretty similar the 80s albums were experimental and set new standards.

A few months ago the Times released with their paper the album 'Power curruption and Lies' in some ways its wierd seeing a brilliant albums given away a daily paper.

Re-Evalaution -Part 8 - Roxy Music

'there's a new sensation, a fabolous creation '-Do the Strand

In the post 80s and 90s Roxy Music were viewed for their commercial output and not their truly groundbreaking albums. I noticed a slight shift in the mid 90s with bands like Suede who were starting to acknowledge them as an influence. Roxy Music influenced bands like Simple Minds to bands like Cabaret Voltaire. There are so many eras of Roxy Music, the glam and eno period, the sort of Lounge Lizard phase, then they albums towards the end that sort of linked to Bryan Ferry's solo work.

Roxy Music is quite an expensive band to collect, most cds are going for about 5-6 a time. In terms of the years they were together, they didnt release that many studio albums and a big percentage of their catalogue is live albums and best of.

Phil Manzenera is such a under-rated guitarist. Roxy Music have reformed and will be playing concerts aroud the world this year and on my homeland the Isle Of Wight. I just hope one day that studio album see's the light.

Re-Evaluation - Part 7 -Rush

Rush are the 7th band Ive been collecting. My thoughts on Rush, is that I wish I had discovered them earlier. I was aware of them for a period of about 18 years without really listening to them. I Listened to their 2002 album Vapor Trials and found myself listening to certain tracks. The truly brilliant record is the 'Rush in Rio' which is a triple live cd. Most songs are short and powerful, although it does contain many concept pieces from their early days.

What I admire about rush is that they could have easily folded due to Neil Pearts Personal tragedies(he lost his wife and daughter within a year period). But after a period of reflection Rush came back in 2002 and have got better than they were before( and they were quite good before).

In the US I think they were college Rock and most of the first few albums followed a sci-fi theme with lyrics. In the first few albums Alex Lifesons guitar work was very prominent. In the Early 80s they introduced keyboards and more advanced drums they released two albums which I think were overlooked in the UK, but appreciated more abroad. These were the albums 'Power Windows' and 'Grace Under Pressure'.

Rush continue to confound and move onwards. Of late they have released a studio album followed by a live album, with a discography of so many albums they have such an extensive catalogue of tracks to choose from.
