The Vendetta Suite - Baby Blue Gary Irwin was a busy man during the 90s and i cant say that he felt tired during the 00s! Hes worked at David Holmes Exploding Plastic Inevatible Studio as an engineer, co-written tracks with Holmes , composed soundtrack for movies, remixed quite a few artists, released techno music under various names and the list keeps going! But as it seems Irwin has many unreleased songs in his luggage and he felt the need to [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-11T16:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4772704/pullin-tubes-the-phil-spector-story-on-hbo/
Long before the Grateful Dead rolled out their monstrous sound system known affectionately as "The Wall Of Sound," famed record producer Phil Spector was crafting a sound in the recording studio using layers of sounds that became his calling card throughout the 19602s. Spector originally had aspirations of being a performer, having early success with his band The Teddy Bears, who had a number one hit in 1958 with To Know Him Is To Love Him , which sold over one-million copies. Despite their success, the band broke up the next year, and Spector turned his attention to record [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-31T01:12:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4702896/the-girl-and-the-robot-feat-robyn-ryksopp/


Con el tiempo, se ha comprobado que la impresin que iban dando los Ryksopp conforme iba engordando su discografa, de ser sencillamente un grupo de pop electrnico con el que pasar buenos ratos, no distaba mucho de la realidad. Sus discos son un catlogo de hits capaces de propulsarte bien a la pista de baile, bien a las ensoaciones csmicas ms remotas, pero sin abandonar nunca el carcter evasivo de la propuesta. As que dando por bueno que en el caso de la msica de do noruego no se trata tanto de experimentar, como de disparar las endorfinas, [...]]]> text/html 2012-08-08T23:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4437846/10th-august-wall-of-sound-93-feet-east/


Wall of Sound were such a great label in the 90s. Shame it went off the boil. But they're still around. And to prove it there's a show in London on Friday. Includes Jon Carter, who also operated as Monkey Mafia. Here's a live recording from Dublin to remind you how great they were.

Echo Lake is a London dream pop group du jour guaranteed to be a lightning rod for Beach House comparisons. You know the story by now: chime, jangle, swoon, yearn. But it's a good story. "Even The Blind" off their forthcoming debut Wild Peace builds a Great Wall of sound brick by brick. Wild Peace will see US release on Slumberland June 26th.

It's hard to believe that the bubblegum group that hit with "Simon Says" and "Indian Giver" also produced one of the greatest Phil Spector tributes of all time, "When We Get Married." Their last single for Buddah, it barely bubbled under at #118 in 1969, and marked their last chart appearance. But 40+ years later, it still packs an incredible Spectorian wallop thanks to Richie Cordell's take-no-prisoners production.

So there's this wall, see. It's called the Wall of Sound. It's big and noisy and mean and crotchety, and it's got these two guys etched onto it with elephant snorks - that's what they should be called - for noses. It's the Death from Above 1979 wall - built in 2001, torn down in 2006, rebuilt in 2011 - and it's standing right in your way. You wanna climb it? Feelin' lucky, punk? You can throw your little body on top of the kids moshing next to you and [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-15T14:53:21+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3863421/live-in-seattle-m83/

Shoegaze, TJAMC-Reminiszenz und Post Industrial - das alles vereinen A place to bury Strangers , die aber ihr krachiges "So far away" mit angezogener Handbremse spielen und nicht so richtig loslassen wollen.

Six original Philles albums plus B-side instrumental bonuses Much like the Cameo-Parkway catalog, Phil Spectors seminal records of the 1960s are only recently starting to see the reissues they deserve. For years they were reissued in dribs and drabs greatest hits packages repeating the same chart entries, hard-to-find vinyl albums from the UK leaking out stereo mixes, reissues of the Christmas album, and so on.

St. Vincent wasn't on my radar prior to late spring of 2009, even though the band had already released an album two years before. My wife and I were set to head to Bonnaroo in a couple months and, in preparation, were listening to as much music as we could get our hands on from dozens of bands in the lineup, St. Vincent being among them. So, Actor was in the rotation. I wasn't sure what to make of St. Vincent's sound initially and still was uncertain weeks later as we watched the band live at Bonnaroo.

Coming on October 18th is a box set that many Phil Spector fans have been waiting for. The seven-disc set will include six original albums from Spector's Philles label: The Crystals Twist Uptown (The Crystals, 1962) He's a Rebel (The Crystals, 1963) Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah (Bob B.

I Think I Know by Dead-Rabbits Man, I've been trying to write something journo-like for this band for what seems like an eternity (45 minutes). Dead Rabbits are a rock n roll band, you can make of that what you will, there's a song up there to help you and there's a non-precise ton of tracks they've just uploaded onto seemingly every digital medium ( youtube , soundcloud , facebook ).

Mekon's group Agent Provocateur get to sound closest to a proper guitar group with this John X remix. This one starts as it means to go on with a sample " I'm gonna cut your fucking throat " and so on. The music matches the sample with slashing guitar and live sounding beats. Oh, and ignore the titling on his one. I misread the CD cover when tagging, so the mix isn't by Depth Charge. Silly me.

Back to this month's 12×12 and some remixes by Agent Provocateur main man John Gosling (aka Mekon). Here, he remixes two singles from 1997 and 1996 respectively. Dumb wants you to " put lotion on me " whilst it does its big beat / hip hopish thing. Sabotage is a bit harder and has those machine gun beats so classic of Wall of Sound at this time with Cleo Torrez vocals.
