nagoid 4 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The new Cure album. Better than the last one, not as good as the classics but there's some really good songs on it (Underneath the stars). Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 They still going? Actually I quite like them when they're in their Plainsong kind of mood. I hear the new one is an improvement on the AWFUL last album they put out. That was just a noisy mess. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The new The Sound of the Smiths CDs - sound is great, remastered and much improved. But really, how many compilations of the Smiths are there? It's getting to be a bit of a joke. Re-issue ! Re-package ! Re-package ! Re-evaluate the songs Double-pack with a photograph Extra Track (and a tacky badge) Paint a vulgar picture, indeed, Mr Morrissey. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'd love to hear Morrisseys opinions on that now (the repackaging thing). I bet he just fobs it off having no control. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Quote: The biggest impediment to a comprehensive rerelease of Smiths rarities, b-sides, live recordings (audio and video), BBC sessions, etc., so those in the know will have you know, is the same reason The Smiths have not and will not reform - ol' Mozzer himself. He still, apparently, has yet to hand over a penny of the money awarded to Mike Joyce after the latter's successful court case, leading the drummy one to issue all manner of injunctions against Mozzer - at one point Joyce was collecting all of Mozzer's royalties from sales of Smiths items, as well as his own. Since any new Smiths releases would see a significant amount of money going to Joyce, Moz has been happy to keep them to a bare minimum. I don't think it's possible to overestimate the size of the grudge Moz holds on this issue. Moz has been happy to keep them to a bare minimum What we have now is a bare minimum!?!

2pints-mate 0 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Quote: Rhino UK are proud to present “Singles Boxâ€: a clamshell card box containing the first ten UK-issued singles in their original picture sleeves. What makes this particularly special is the two singles which are exclusive to this box set: These unique inclusions are the projected fourth single - “Still Ill†(which was pressed only as DJ promo “A†label) but was ultimately passed over and replaced by “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now†along side the Dutch release of “The Headmaster Ritual†housed in it’s black & white “cowboy†sleeve – the rarest commercially issued Smiths’ single in any territory. The box is completed with four contemporary badges, a poster featuring the single artworks as well as an authentication certificate that contains a unique redemption code for mp3 downloads of the tracks. Not only 1 tacky badge, but 4!!! THis must be Mozzers sense of humour. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 OK so they have remastered 45 Smiths tracks for this new compilation, including lots of b-sides and some live tracks. There can't be more than 150 Smiths tracks in total. I say they are surely remastering the whole lot for release next year along with the complete box set, tacky badge and Smiths Official Pen.

tinmachine 0 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm curious just to hear how Chinese Democracy sounds. Quote: In 1991, Guns N' Roses were the biggest band on the planet. Four years after its release, their swaggering debut album, Appetite For Destruction, was still in the album charts. The band set a new record with Use Your Illusion I & II – two albums released simultaneously – when they went to number one and two in the US charts. Seventeen years on, four of the five original members have gone and the story of the band's singer, Axl Rose, his monstrous ego, and his attempts to finish the most expensive album of all time have become legendary. Described by The New York Times as "the recording industry's most notorious white elephant", Chinese Democracy is Guns N' Roses' long, long, long-awaited follow-up to the Use Your Illusion albums. Due out tomorrow, it's been 14 years in the making and has run up a reported £7m in studio bills. In that time Rose has hired and fired four managers, eight producers and at least 20 musicians. Chinese Democracy was originally due to appear in 1996 but was delayed, according to Rose, due to the departure of long-standing band-mates Duff McKagan and Slash. Rose claimed they left of their own free will, they said Rose began treating them like session musicians. In 2000, Rose invited Rolling Stone magazine to his Malibu mansion to preview a dozen new tracks and a release date was set for later in the year, but nothing materialised. In 2004, the band's bassist Tommy Stinson said the album was "almost done"; Rose told fans on his website they'd be better off waiting for the resurrection of Christ. So great has been the feeling that the album would never see the light of day that earlier this year the soft-drink company Dr Pepper promised a free soda for everyone in America if Chinese Democracy was released before the year was out. Whatever bright spark came up with that one will no doubt be clearing their desk in the morning. The musical landscape has been transformed since Guns N' Roses bestrode it like a tattooed, leather-trousered Colossus. Television talent shows now dictate what's in the charts; the record industry is facing extinction; hard rock has been in, then out, then in again. In making the world wait for 17 years, we could yet find that Axl Rose has timed it to perfection. Link to post Share on other sites
