Las mejores reediciones de 2011

Dec 27, 2011, 1:30pm Cuchara Sónica

Está muy bien descubrir nuevos artistas cada año y darse cuenta de que la música sigue viva, pero no olvidemos el legado histórico que nos deja. Las reediciones dan la posibilidad de recordar los momentos que uno vivió cuando escuchó por primera vez ese viejo disco que vuelve a publicarse con contenido extra o, lo que es mejor, que los más jóvenes puedan disfrutar de la música de generaciones anteriores. A continuación hemos elaborado una lista con las mejores reediciones de este 2011. Por supuesto, podéis dejar vuestras opiniones y sugerencias en los comentarios: Bon Iver [...]

Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers: The Centennial Collection

Dec 14, 2011, 9:21pm Hyperbolium

Mid-1930s transcriptions of Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers To mark one-hundred years since the birth of Roy Rogers (November 5, 1911), Varese Sarabande's put together a set of twenty-one early tracks by Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers. Rogers, still performing under his birth name, Leonard Slye, formed the group in the early 1930s with Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer, and they quickly added fiddler (and bass vocalist) Hugh Farr. Before moving on to a film career as Roy Rogers in 1938, he and his fellow Pioneers became the model [...]

Best Reissues of 2011

Dec 14, 2011, 1:57am the finest kiss

Why is it that the older you get the more old music you buy? Probably because as you get older you start to realize how little you know about music. Here's to all the labels that do the crate digging for you, because there is no way in hell you could have found all of this stuff on your own. Here are the top 15 reissues that I crossed paths with this year. 1. El Rego - El Rego ( Daptone ) I was vaguely familiar [...]

Tristan and Willie Can Debate, Debate Can

Dec 9, 2011, 12:00pm The Tape

Can's Tago Mago was reissued in a 40th anniversary edition November 15th. The 40th anniversary reissue campaign will continue all year, and we at The Tape found ourselves wondering: why? Why Can? Why now? Tristan: It seems to me that Can has a large place in the canon of modern music, even if their product [...]

Neil Diamond: The Very Best Of Neil Diamond – The Original Studio Recordings

Dec 7, 2011, 3:17pm Hyperbolium

An oddly sequenced collection of Diamond's diamonds As anyone familiar with Neil Diamond's career will know, he's had more hits that could fit onto a single CD. But drawing across his stints on Bang, Uni, Capitol (for which he recorded the soundtrack to The Jazz Singer ) and Columbia, this twenty-three track set shows Diamond's maturation from Brill Building songwriter to hit-making singer to worldwide superstar to reinvented elder statesman. Of course, given the set's non-chronological programming, you'll only hear the actual arc of his artistic development if you [...]

Okkervil River and the New Influence of the Old

Dec 7, 2011, 11:54am The Tape

In 2007, Okkervil River released the Golden Opportunities Mixtape as an early Christmas present (the record was released on December 12th) and a thank you to their fans. The record consisted mostly of popular cover songs, including renditions of tunes by Randy Newman, John Cale, Serge Gainsbourg, and Joni Mitchell. It's interesting to compare the [...]

Album Review: Bitch Magnet – Bitch Magnet [Reissue]

Dec 2, 2011, 8:00am Consequence Of Sound

Ignore the stupid name. Why these guys released their music under a moniker that sounds like something your cousin would have come up with for his shitty junior high school punk band, we may never know. Bitch Magnet only recorded for three short years from 1988 to 1990 and released an equal number of albums, but the impact they had on post-rock and early '90s indie can't be understated. Despite this, these releases remained largely out-of-print and criminally underheard. That should hopefully change now, with a new three-disc reissue that packages them all in one bundle. [...]

Album Review: Smashing Pumpkins – Gish [Reissue]

Nov 28, 2011, 7:46am Consequence Of Sound

As hard as it may be to believe these days, there was a time when Billy Corgan made great music, had a full head of hair ( weird, right? ), and was generally viewed as one of the best musicians around. Siamese Dream , a great display of virtuosic talent, and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness , in all its sprawling 28-track excess, stand without question as two of the 902s finest albums. Before those two, though, came Gish , the Pumpkins' magnificent, oft-overlooked debut and [...]

Arthur Lyman: Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas)

Nov 25, 2011, 9:19pm Hyperbolium

Vibraphone master gives holiday classics an exotica twist Together with Martin Denny, vibraphonist Arthur Lyman defined the Hawaii-based instrumental style known as "exotica." After recording the seminal Exotica album with Denny's combo, Lyman struck out on his own, recording numerous jazz-flavored exotica albums for the Hi-Fi and Life labels, including the classic Taboo in 1958. This holiday entry was originally released in 1964, and features Lyman's exquisite mallet work on a dozen titles. In Lyman's hands, these classic Christmas songs take on [...]

Buck Owens and Susan Raye: Merry Christmas from Buck Owens and Susan Raye

Nov 25, 2011, 7:51pm Hyperbolium

Bakersfield country legend sings original holiday fare Buck Owens was no stranger to holiday recordings, having released Christmas with Buck Owens and his Buckaroos in 1965 and Christmas Shopping in 1968. By the time of this album's release in 1971, Owens was recording duets with Susan Raye, and riding the tail of their first three hits, this holiday album was released. Ten of the eleven tracks are originals, capped by Raye's solo cover of Gene Autry's "Here Comes Santa Claus." The songs [...]

Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings: Collector's Edition Box Set

Nov 22, 2011, 10:03pm Hyperbolium

Legendary bassist's post-Stones R&B band After leaving the Rolling Stones in 1992, bassist Bill Wyman formed the Rhythm Kings around a core of Graham Broad, Andy Fairweather-Low, Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Beverly Skeete and Geraint Watkins. The group is joined by a revolving line-up of British all-stars that has included Gary Brooker, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Mark Knopfler, George Harrison, Nicky Hopkins and Mick Taylor. Wyman shares lead vocals with Fame, Skeete, Watkins, and the occasional guest, such as Paul Carrack. Wyman's hoarse whisper hasn't the power or charisma of Mick Jagger, but with [...]

Roberto Cacciapaglia 'The Ann Steel Album' Delay

Nov 15, 2011, 3:37pm Half Machine Records

As you may have noticed the reissue of 'The Ann Steel Album' hasn't appeared in shops (or your postbox, if you'd pre-ordered). The album pressing has been delayed longer than expected due to some artwork issues. The record is in production and I'm waiting on Roberto Cacciapaglia to approve the test pressing I've sent to Milan. Hopefully this should be done soon, with that done we can get to finishing it! Sorry for the delays, these were unexpected when we set the release date. Hopefully it shouldn't be too longer than a week or [...]

Ray Charles: Singular Genius – The Complete ABC Singles

Nov 15, 2011, 12:55pm Hyperbolium

Complete recitation of Ray Charles' fifty-three singles for ABC Ray Charles long ago graduated from a hit-seeking artist to an omnipresent musical god. His iconic singles, innovative albums and sizzling live performances are so monumental as to obscure the time before they existed. It's all but impossible to recall the excitement of a new Ray Charles release climbing up the charts to popular acclaim and immortality. But Charles' genius was both artistic and commercial, and his growth and triumphs as a musician were paralleled by success on the charts. Concord's 5-disc set gathers the [...]

[Review/Listen] – The Beach Boys – "The SMiLE Sessions"

Nov 11, 2011, 3:54pm Listen Before You Buy

Tweet We all know the story by now. The follow up to The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds", "SMiLE" was to be Brian Wilson's masterwork, a guaranteed psych-pop classic that would demonstrate the breadth of sound that could be achieved in a recording studio, throwing down the gauntlet to all other rock and pop artists. That is, until the wheels came off of the Beach Boy's wagon, as much a result of internal [...]

Man... Or Astro-Man?

Nov 10, 2011, 11:46am De ongeletterde wanhoop

Herinnert u zich nog The Jetsons ? Nee, dat is geen obscuur bandje uit de jaren '80, maar een tekenfilmreeks van Hanna-Barbera , u vooral bekend van The Flintstones . Wat zowel The Flintstones als The Jetsons zo leuk maakte, was dat hedendaagse (nu ja, in de jaren '60, '70 en '80 van de vorige eeuw) thema's en gewoontes gewoon getransponeerd werden naar respectievelijk de prehistorie en de verre toekomst. Stel dat wij de soundtrack mochten samenstellen bij The Jetsons, we kozen ongetwijfeld voor Man... Or Astro-Man? , het geschifte combo rond [...]
