Noch löblicher wäre es,wenn er die Arrangements selber schreiben würde...

 

Wozu?

 

Wichtig ist doch nur,das er nicht schon wieder Arrangements aufnimmt, die es schon gab.

Paul McCartney meldet sich mit einem brandneuen Album zurück und das mit ganzer Wucht. Der Titel des Albums lautet New und der Name ist Programm. McCartney präsentiert sich auf diesem Album frisch, dynamisch und befreiter denn je. Es vereint das Beste McCartneys mit modernen Elementen und schafft so gekonnt den Spagat zwischen alt und neu. Er stellt sich quasi mit einem Fuß seinem Erbe und marschiert mit dem anderen in die Gegenwart.

Die Produzenten des Albums sind niemand geringeres als Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Robbie Williams) Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence + The Machine), Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Razorlight, Laura Marling) & Giles Martin (Sohn von Sir George Martin, der 5te Beatle & ehemaliger Produzent der Fab 4). Mit der aktuellen und von Mark Ronson produzierten Single New liefert er einen Beatles-esquen Hit im zeitgemäßen Gewand als kleinen Vorgeschmack. Ein Album, das allen McCartney und Beatles-Fans Spass machen wird, aber darüber hinaus auch eine ganze Menge anderer Hörer überraschen, überzeugen und begeistern wird. New gibt es als Standard Version mit 12 Tracks, limitierte Deluxe Version mit 14 Tracks und erweitertem Booklet sowie als limitierte LP (12 Tracks mit Download-Voucher für 14 Tracks).

Ist nicht das erste, Lee hat bereits Erfahrungen im Heavy-Metal-Bereich gesammelt. Er war Sprecher auf diversen "Rhapsody of Fire"-Alben, bei "Manowar" und hat mit dem Projekt "Charlemagne" schon selbst zwei Metal-Alben veröffentlicht. Anscheinend hat er was übrig für diese Musikrichtung.

Ich weiß. Deswegen schrieb ich ja auch "NOCH eines".

Ach so. Ich habe das "haut mit 92 Jahren noch" nicht auf das Album bezogen, sondern auf sein Alter.

Am 18. September gibt Tony Bennett ein Konzert in Berlin!

 

Ich bin dabei.

 

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Im Oktober wird nach 20 Jahren ein neues Pink-Floyd-Album erscheinen, THE ENDLESS RIVER. Hauptsächlich soll es aus Instrumental- und Ambient-Stücken bestehen, die Gilmour, Mason und Wright bereits bei den Sessions zum letzten Floyd-Album THE DIVISION BELL 1993/94 aufgenommen haben. Die Bandmitglieder überlegten damals sogar, diese Stücke unter dem Titel THE BIG SPLIFF als Album zu veröffentlichen. Auf der anschliessenden DIVISION WORLD TOUR liefen diese Stücke vor dem Konzert und in den Pausen. 

 

Nun haben Gilmour und Mason also die alten Aufnahmen wieder ausgegraben und zumindest ein Stück mit Gesang versehen. Enthalten sind damit natürlich auch bisher unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen des 2008 verstorbenen Keyboarders Richard Wright, der bis zu seinem Tod ebenfalls an einem Instrumental-Album arbeitete. Zusätzlich wurde bereits offiziell bestätigt, dass 2015 ein neues Solo-Album von David Gilmour erscheinen wird. Ex-Pink-Floyd-Mastermind Roger Waters, mit dem sich die anderen drei Mitte der 80er nach dessen Ausstieg aus der Band zerstritten und erst 2005 für das Live 8 endgültig wieder versöhnten, ist nicht involviert in das neue Album. Waters selbst arbeitet aber scheinbar auch an einem neuen Album, welches das erste nach AMUSED TO DEATH von 1992 sein würde. 

 

Die offizielle Ankündigung:

 

'THE ENDLESS RIVER'

Pink Floyd can confirm that they are releasing a new album, The Endless River, in October 2014. It is an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 Division Bell sessions which feature David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. The album is produced by David Gilmour with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson. Work is still in progress, but more details to come at the end of the summer.

Ja, das dachte ich mir gestern auch schon. Lady Gaga soll das getwittert haben.

Vielleicht ist das ja auch noch gar nicht das offizielle Cover. Auf Amazon und Bennetts Homepage ist jedenfalls noch kein Cover zu sehen.

Nicht nur Pink Floyd, auch Queen bringen ein "neues" Album heraus. Im November erscheint "Queen Forever" und enthält bislang unveröffentlichte Songs (unter anderem das Duett von Freddie und Michael Jackson) und "new takes" bekannter Sachen. Das Album gibt es auch als Doppel-CD.

 

 

 

QUEEN FOREVER
Queen Bring Back Freddie
New ‘Queen Forever’ CD Collection Brings New Freddie Mercury Tracks to Light

RELEASED NOVEMBER 10TH 2014

Three previously unreleased Queen tracks featuring late singer Freddie Mercury spearhead an exciting new Queen album, Queen Forever, due November 10th 2014 on the Virgin Records label.

The tracks include a long anticipated track from Queen and Michael Jackson, There Must Be More to Life Than This, a previously unfinished Mercury-Queen track Let Me In Your Heart Again originating from the band’s The Works album recording sessions, and a scorching new stripped-down ballad version of Mercury’s first solo hit, his Giorgio Moroder collaboration, Love Kills.

The rest of the package brings together Queen hits, classic tracks, and new takes on well-known songs, matched with band recordings Brian May describes as “things that we have collected together that are representative of our growth rather than the big hits” in a collection immaculately assembled by May and Roger Taylor themselves. The tracks are all linked to represent a definitive collection of Queen’s timeless love songs.

Queen Forever is available as a 20-track single CD and as an extended 36-track, two-CD set, and celebrates the extraordinary musical path of one of the world’s greatest rock bands.

Anticipation for these new Mercury tracks has been high since May and Taylor first hinted earlier this year that new tracks featuring Mercury were being explored. 

Speaking at the press conference to launch their North American concert tour with singer Adam Lambert earlier in the year, May said: "There was a little bit more in the can that we had overlooked for a long time, so we have a few songs which we're working on right now. Freddie sounds as fresh as yesterday."

On the subject, Taylor said: “We’ve got some great new tracks that haven’t been heard and there’s an interesting selection of older stuff.”

The Queen and Michael Jackson duet, There Must Be More to Life Than This, began as a song written by Mercury during sessions for Queen’s 1981 album, Hot Space. The band recorded a backing track, but the song was never completed. Mercury visited Michael Jackson at his home studio in Los Angeles where he recorded Jackson singing the song for an unfinished version. Queen revived the track during sessions for 1984’s The Works, but again it was not finished. A year later, Freddie’s own version of the song surfaced on his debut solo album, 1985’s Mr Bad Guy. This new production of the powerful ballad fuses Queen’s original backing track and Mercury and Jackson’s distinctive vocals, and has been produced and remixed by celebrated Madonna/Robbie Williams producer William Orbit.

Talking of his involvement, Orbit say:

“I had known Roger for many years, now he was on the phone asking if I would get involved in this musical adventure. When I first played it in my studio I opened a trove of delights provided by the greatest of musicians. Hearing Michael Jackson's vocals was stirring. So vivid, so cool, and poignant, it was like he was in the studio singing live. With Freddie's vocal solo on the mixing desk, my appreciation for his gift was taken to an even higher level.  

“The musicianship of all four members of Queen is phenomenal. Roger, an extraordinarily multi talented man I've always admired. John Deacon's original bass part with its lyrical fluidity that made it easy for me to know where to put the odd reinforcement. Freddie's original piano carried most of the song's musical DNA. Brian, one take for the solo, a blur of fingers, and the spirits of MJ and FM fully present, in the moment, sending shivers down the spine.”

Perhaps the biggest revelation on Queen Forever is Brian May’s composition, Let Me In Your Heart Again. The song was first recorded by Queen for The Works album, but not completed at the time and has remained overlooked since then. An authentic, live-in-the-studio track from the same golden age as Radio Ga Ga and I Want To Break Free, this never-before-heard Queen track shows off Freddie’s timeless vocals and features newly recorded guitar parts and new backing vocals from Brian and Roger. This thrilling track finally reaches us nearly 30 years after Freddie first laid down his original vocal.

The third new track, Love Kills, was composed by Freddie Mercury and famed German producer/songwriter Giorgio Moroder for the soundtrack to Moroder’s newly restored and tinted version of Fritz Lang’s 1927 classic silent movie Metropolis in 1984 to which he added a pop soundtrack featuring various music artists. Mercury recorded a high-energy dance version of the song that became his debut solo hit in 1985. However, it is less well known that all four members of Queen played on the original track. Prior to Queen embarking on their recent tour with lead singer Adam Lambert, Brian May proposed performing an acoustic ballad version of Love Kills, which became one of the most memorable moments of the current Queen & Adam Lambert shows. This new Queen-Freddie studio version is shaped in the same ballad style and revives the Queen original with some newly recorded guitars and drums by May and Taylor, becoming a glorious showcase for one of Freddie’s most adrenaline-charged vocal performances.

Alongside this new material, both the one and two-CD versions of Queen Forever feature songs that spotlight the band’s songwriting prowess, studio experimentation and remarkable development. It’s a timely reminder that, almost uniquely in the world of rock and pop, all four members of Queen were accomplished songwriters and superlatively gifted musicians.

Queen Forever reaches back as far as 1974 with fan favourite Nevermore, a Freddie Mercury song originally included on Queen II, the album that first saw Queen use the recording studio as an instrument in its own right. From the same year comes the dramatic power ballad In The Lap Of The Gods… Revisited, once the grand finale of any Queen show, and since revived by Queen & lead singer Adam Lambert on their 2014 tour. Meanwhile, the upbeat single, You’re My Best Friend, written by bass guitarist John Deacon, showcased Queen’s poppier side and was released as the follow-up to 1975’s Bohemian Rhapsody, becoming a Top 10 UK and Top 20 US hit in the same year and gave John Deacon his first Queen hit single.

Elsewhere, 1977’s Long Away remains the only Queen single to feature Brian May on lead vocals; and the same year’s B-side Drowse includes a rare Queen performance from Roger Taylor on guitar. Queen saw out the decade with a run of hits that included the gospel-flavoured Somebody To Love, memorably performed by Queen and George Michael at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992, and finished on a high with ‘79’s US Number 1 hit, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, an exuberant rockabilly pop song composed by Freddie Mercury in the bath in Munich.

By touching on prog rock, gospel, acoustic balladry, Elvis-style rock’n’roll and more, these songs alone encapsulate Queen’s diversity in the 1970s. However, the band threw out the rulebook completely in the decades that followed, embracing funk, hard rock, soul and pure pop, but always sounding unmistakably Queen. The band used synthesizers for the first time on 1980’s Play The Game single; Freddie sang some of his vocals in Spanish on the 1982 hit Las Palabras De Amor, and 1986’s One Year Of Love featuring unusually a saxophone. The album is completed by latter-day Queen hits, including ’91’s no. 1 These Are The Days Of Our Lives and ‘95’s Too Much Love Will Kill You, together with the poignant A Winter’s Tale, recorded during Freddie Mercury’s final Queen recording sessions in Montreux in 1991.

Queen Forever is both a showcase for these exclusive new recordings, but also an enduring tribute to the extraordinary musical achievements of John Deacon, Brian May, Roger Taylor and the late, great Freddie Mercury whose singular talent we can again get to marvel at with the arrival of these previously unheard tracks.

Queen Forever. Forever? Who can tell? But for now we can be certain that this highly rewarding collection of Queen new, rare, and at their most accomplished, more than serves to uphold the band’s indisputable place in music history and is certain to earn a prized place in music collections for a long time to come.

Queen certainly rates in the top among Britain’s favourite bands. The UK’s Official Charts Company earlier this year confirmed Queen’s 1981 Greatest Hits album as Britain’s best-selling album of all time all after surpassing the 6 million sales milestone. A staggering one in three British households now own a copy of the iconic act’s original best-of collection.

And if 6 million sales isn’t enough for the band, Queen’s follow-up, Greatest Hits II, which was released in October 1991 also rides high at Number 10 in the all-time Official Albums Chart, having notched up a further 3.9 million UK sales to date.

"The Endless River" von Pink Floyd erscheint am 10. November als Standard-CD, Doppel-LP und als Deluxe Box mit DVD bzw Blu-ray.

 

 

 

The Endless River has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 Division Bell sessions, when David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason played freely together at Britannia Row and Astoria studios.  This was the first time they had done so since the ‘Wish You Were Here’ sessions in the seventies.  Those sessions resulted in The Division Bell, the band’s last studio album.
 
In 2013 David Gilmour and Nick Mason revisited the music from those sessions and decided that the tracks should be made available as part of the Pink Floyd repertoire.  It would be the last time the three of them would be heard together.  The band have spent the last year recording and upgrading the music,using the advantages of modern studio technology to create The Endless River.
 
The Endless River is a tribute to Rick Wright, whose keyboards are at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound. It is a mainly instrumental album with one song, ‘Louder Than Words’, (with new lyrics by Polly Samson), arranged across four sides and produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and
Andy Jackson.

Release date: 10 November 2014
