HEAR Portishead Side-Project Beak> Cover Pink Floyd’s “Welcome To The Machine” (MP3)

For all the well-deserved fanfare that accompanies Portishead, it’s surprising that Geoff Barrow’s other trio, Beak>, seems to have mostly stayed under the radar. The group’s 2009 self-titled album was a lesson in live minimal synth/bass/drum alchemy, and this cover of Pink Floyd’s classic “Welcome To The Machine,” recorded for a Mojo Magazine sampler CD, delivers the same.

Another Brick in the Wall has a Double Negative?!?! (Video)

“We don’t need no education. We don’t need no thought control.”

Okay, what is wrong with this lyric? That’s right, it’s a double negative!

I have to admit, it took me a long time to realize this and honestly, I only noticed because I was watching the “Red Door” episode of the IT Crowd during one of my many nights of insomnia.

Wow, this completely changes everything.

Am I the only one who didn’t notice the double negative?

The Orb featuring David Gilmour

Metallic Spheres

Released by Columbia


Every post-Wall release by a member of Pink Floyd has been and will be, more or less, a footnote in their illustrious musical history.  From The Final Cut to guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour’s 2006 release On an Island, each album lacked the ambition, the urgency, and the adventurousness that characterized the most enjoyable Floyd albums.  Gilmour and bassist Roger Waters, both of whom had thrived off of their own dysfunctional brand of artistic competitiveness, appeared complacent in those thirty years since The Wall, content to release material that didn’t challenge ...

Aeroplane – We Can’t Fly (Review)

Aeroplane

We Can't Fly

Released by Wall of Sound, Eskimo Recordings


Belgian outfit Aeroplane is now on a solo flight after a mysterious split a couple of months ago. The classically trained Vito De luca is now the captain, and he has to prove the hype created by the DJ/remixers who made their name on a stunning remix of Friendly Fires' “Paris”. We Can't Fly is one of the most anticipated albums of 2010. It was recorded all over of the world; from Toulouse, Paris and London to Los Angeles, and it was co-produced by French back-to-the-future producer ...

Prins Thomas – Prins Thomas (Review)

Prins Thomas

Prins Thomas

Released by Full Pupp


Norwegian remix king (or Prince), Prins Thomas, releases his first full-length solo album on his own record label. And it’s not all balearic disco, as many expect. Norwegian royals Lindstrøm and Todd Terje lend him a helping hand, and together they create wet bearded dreams of sonic landscape and echoing sunsets. The whole affair is proggy; while Thomas' inspirations are clear, the record is more post-rock than cosmic disco.
