I can't imagine when Paul & Ringo went on touring and called themselves The Beatles. The Beatles will live forever in our hearts, minds and ears. But the Beatles, being a band, have stopped. When I am at a concert of Paul, I am at a concert of Paul, not of the Beatles, even he sings: a day in a life, yesterday or get back. That's different I experienced with Pink Floyd and Roger Waters. Just a feeling.

When the first orginal band members are gone I suppose. and the other hand you'll never know, like Randy Newman's song is saying: I'M DEAD (BUT I DON'T KNOW IT) from his album Bad Love (1999) I have nothing to say But I'm gonna say it anyway Thirty years upon a stage And I hear the people say Why won't he go away? I pass the houses of the dead they're calling me to join their group But I stagger on instead Dear God, sweet God Protect me from the truth, hey I'm dead but I don't know it He's dead, he's dead I'm dead but I don't know He's dead, he's dead I'm dead but I don't know it Please don't tell me so Let me, let me, let me go I always thought that I would know When it was time to quit That when I lost a step or two or three or four or five I'd notice it Now that I've arrived here safely I find my talent has gone Why do I go on and on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on and on He's dead, he's dead, he's dead I don't know it He's dead, he's dead, he's dead I didn't know it Who would be so cruel to tell me so? You're dead! When will I end this bitter game? When will I end this cruel charade? Everything I write all sounds the same Each record that I've made Just not as good. I'm dead but I don't know it He's dead, he's dead Please don't tell me so You're dead! I love the lyrics of Randy Newman :) :good job:

Amazon.co.uk Review A decade after forming the Palace Brothers, Kentuckian Will Oldham has decided to reinterpret his vintage repertoire, with Sings Greatest Palace Music rerouting the material via Nashville. That original combo had subsequent incarnations as Palace and Palace Music, while the reclusive Oldham has been known as Bonnie "Prince" Billy since 1998. Here, he's more openly country than ever before, roping in a team of sessioneers on honky tonkin' piano, merry fiddle, chicken-pluckin' mandolin and seepin' pedal steel guitar. There are even a few unlikely saxophone solos. The instrumental interplay is immediately impressive, the players making brief statements and never stepping on each other's stirrups. He's looking back at Gram Parsons for principal inspiration, giving the sing-along harmony backing-vocal treatment to these curiously uplifting songs of melancholia. The Prince is intent on celebrating misery, turning morose sentiments into positive anthems. All the elements are in place for a sincere invocation of a cowboy's dark side. Oldham's husky delivery has a faint strain in the throat, his lyrics always taking a sideways step. The album boasts a stylistic unity that draws together its songs, with some of the most rousing and fraught numbers arriving towards the end. "Viva Ultra" has Oldham singing with a totally broken conviction, "Pushkin" resounds with a persuasive "God is the answer" chorus, and "No More Workhorse Blues" pushes the levels even further, towards total commitment. --Martin Longley Impressive!! :good job:

Amazon.co.uk Review Oi Va Voi's strong live reputation gained them twin nominations in the 2002 BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards, and Laughter Through Tears marks the long-awaited album debut from this London-based sextet. The opening run of tracks are commercially viable and soulfully relaxed, with all Jewish traditional elements appearing as peripheral traces. On another level, this is a courageous (or perverse) move, saving the faster, more characterful numbers for the album's second half. This has a slow-building effect, but doesn't necessarily convey the band's full live personality. KT Tunstall provides emotive vocals on "Refugee" and "Yesterday's Mistakes", backed by soothing strings and nimble basslines, akin to Nitin Sawhney or Zero 7, given subtle traces of traditional klezmer. As Judith Ne'meth sings an atmospheric Hungarian love song, Oi Va Voi enter the more active second phase, all of its dancefloor elements hand-crafted by the live line-up of drums, bass, guitar, violin, trumpet and clarinet. Earl Zinger raggas up "Gypsy" and Uzbekistan's Sevara Nazarkhan trills on "7 Brothers", which is later remixed by Hefner, appearing as a hidden track. But it's "Dror Yikra" that provides the most extreme example of cross-culturalism, with Tunisian vocalist Ben Hassan tackling a traditional Sephardic tune from the Yemen, bolstered by flamenco touches and a pin-pricking jazz trumpet solo by Lemez Lovas. --Martin Longley For me the most surprising album of 2003 (in positive sense) :good job: www.oi-va-voi.com

Just got the movie on dvd as birthday present, Kooperman :psychofun: and yes you are soooo right. It's one of the best musicmovies ever made, I think......màn what a BAND!!!

Porcupine Tree is an English band, strong influenced by Pink Floyd. In Absentia is their latest and most beautiful album. Got a review from Amazon.UK Reviews Amazon.co.uk Review In Absentia, their Lava Records debut, is the latest fruit of Porcupine Tree mainstay Steven Wilson's obsession with progressive rock, a mania that dates to the late-1980s when the "band" was little more than a fantasy, though one with a remarkably imaginative--if entirely fictional--history and bio. But that pipedream eventually became a real "alt prog" cult fave, with these dozen ambitious songs finding a focus that occasionally eluded the band on half-hour soundscapes such as "Voyage 34". Tracks such as "Gravity Eyelids" have a retro-psychedelic feel that would have done the XTC alter ego Dukes of Stratosphear proud, with Wilson's pure melodic tenor pushing it beyond the merely baroque. In Absentia is also a strong statement of another crucial Wilson/Porcupine retro-sensibility: the album has a unified musical statement. "Lips of Ashes" and "Prodigal" serve up the sort of impressionistic, harmony-rich musings that Pink Floyd have rarely managed since Wish You Were Here, while "The Creator Has a Master Tape" punctuates the rich harmonies of tracks such as "Heart Attack in a Layby" with King Crimson-esque metallic thrash and processed vocals. While the band's instrumental prowess sometimes slums its way into the free-form jazz noodling of past efforts, the album remains one of Porcupine Tree's fullest achievements. --Jerry McCulley
