  • It Bites &#8211; the Tall Ships / Map of the Past

    It Bites – the Tall Ships / Map of the Past

    It Bites – The Tall Ships / Map Of The Past (79:01, CD, Vinyl, Digital, InsideOut Music/Sony Music, 2008 / 2012) In den Mid 80ern und frühen 90ern gelang es It Bites als Schnittmenge aus Rock / Pop und einem gewissen Progressive Rock Einschlag ein gewisses Maß an Aufmerksamkeit zu erreichen. Einen guten Überblick über deren damalige Live-Aktivitäten bietet die an dieser Stelle vorgestellte Box „Live in London„, die mittlerweile leider nur noch zu recht satten Preisen erhältlich ist. Der Restart bzw. die Wiederbelebung von It Bites ohne deren ehemaligen Sänger / Gitarristen Francis Dunnery begann Ende der 2000er Jahre ursprünglich nur als Liveband. Doch nachdem man mit John Mitchell einen durchaus veritablen neuen Frontmann gefunden hatte, wollte man sich ebenfalls wieder ins Studio wagen. Leider stand dafür Bassist Dick Nolan nicht mehr zur Verfügung, so dass man das 2008er Album „The Tall Ships“ als Trio mit John Mitchell (Gesang, Gitarre, Bass), John Beck (Keyboards, Gesang) undBob Dalton (Schlagzeug) einspielte. Vier Jahr später folgte der Nachfolger „Map Of The Past“ mitLee Pomeroy als neuen Bassisten. Beide Alben liegen nun als Reissue in remastertem Format mit jeweils zwei Bonustracks (Material der Special Editions bzw. Single B-Seiten: ‚These Words‘, ‚When I Fall‘, ‚Lighthouse‘, ‚Come On‘) vor. Weiterhin sind beide Ausgaben erstmals auch im Vinylformat erhältlich. Zwar versuchte man auf beiden Alben in gewissem Maße die Tradition von It Bites wiederzubeleben, doch klingt vieles eher nach Kino, dem Bandprojekt, bei dem sowohl John Mitchell, als auch John Beck beteiligt sind und waren, sowie dem einige Jahre später folgenden Soloprojekt Lonely Robot von John Mitchell.

    Blogcritics.org: DVD Review: Arena - Smoke & Mirrors Page 1 of 5 A sinister cabal of superior bloggers on music, books, film, popular culture, technology, and politics. REVIEW DVD Review: Arena - Smoke & Mirrors May 19, 2006 Paul Roy On September 22nd, 2005, at the Wyspianski Theatre in Katowice, Poland, British neo- progressive rockers Arena celebrated their 10th anniversary and filmed this excellent, two- hour, career-spanning concert, which comes to you as Smoke & Mirrors. This concert features the same lineup of Clive Nolan (keyboards), Mick Pointer (drums), Rob Sowden (vocals), John Mitchell (guitars), and Ian Salmon (bass), that appeared on their last concert DVD, 2003's Caught In The Act, and have now miraculously been together since 1999. After overcoming numerous personnel changes, during the band's first four years, it appears that things have finally stabilized in the Arena camp. Although not one of my favorite progressive-rock bands, Arena have consistently churned out high-quality music, since their 1995 debut, Songs From The Lions Cage. Each album unfolds with complex moods, and dramatic concepts that blend elements of symphonic- prog, metal, and classic-rock, and often demand repeated listens to fully absorb all that is being unraveled before you. My reaction to the band mostly mirrors what you see from the remarkably subdued audiences on each of their DVDs. Rarely do they rise from the comfort of their theater seats, or manage more than a few polite claps. Not your typical rock concert vibe. Some of the band's performances can be quite uninspiring, while others, such as "The Hanging Tree", "Solomon", and, the always climactic, "Crying For Help VII", can be downright http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/05/19/105044.php 5/25/2006 Blogcritics.org: DVD Review: Arena - Smoke & Mirrors Page 2 of 5 amazing.

    Also Eden News

    Also Eden News Also Eden welcome Rich Harding posted 18 Jan 2010 Finding a replacement for Huw has proved to be no easy task. Huw co-founded Also Eden and naturally, his voice has defined so much of the bands sound. However, we’re delighted to announce that we have found a new singer to take us in a new and exciting direction. Rich Harding has been singing live since 1985, fronting bands as diverse as The Allnight Chemists (space rock), Sane (prog) and Twisted (heavy metal). For the last few years he has also been performing with a number of successful Marillion "tribute" bands, in the UK and on the continent (Misplaced Neighbourhood, Lords of the Backstage and Skyline Drifters). His voice is very different to Huw’s - but he has power, energy and enthusiasm and we know he’s going to make a huge impact on the band’s sound this year. Rich says: 'Having only done tribute gigs - fun though they are - in the four years since leaving Twisted, I've been searching for the right opportunity to get my creative juices flowing again and am delighted to be joining Also Eden. I've immensely enjoyed getting to grips with some of the existing material and am excited to be working with rest of the band on the next steps forward.' Also Eden will now be working feverishly on a new EP to be available circa-May 2010 where we’ll have some new, and some more familiar (yet very different!) material for you to enjoy! As ever, thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.
  • Arena Biographie

    Arena Biographie

    The Salt and The Sand 10 ans d'Arena En 2005, Arena célébrait l'anniversaire de la sortie de leur premier album, Songs from the Lion's Cage, sorti en 1995. Au cours de ces dix années, Arena est devenu un des meilleurs gardiens de la flamme progressive anglaise. Ce 10ème anniversaire est l'occasion de fêter la musique d'Arena et de se pencher sur l'histoire de ce grand groupe. Beaucoup de choses ont été écrites sur Arena et ses membres passés et présents, mais l'histoire complète de ces remarquables musiciens n'a jamais été agencée de manière décente et complète. D'où l'idée d'écrire une biographie sur l'histoire d'Arena. Nous avons pensé, que si jamais une biographie devait être écrite, alors l'année 2005 était le bon moment pour le faire. Quand nous avons décidé, fin 2004, que cette histoire devait être racontée, cela voulait dire que les investigations devaient commencer. Pas seulement sur toute la matière existante, mais aussi sur la création de nouveau matériel, nous avons décidé de faire de nouveaux interviews. Heureusement la majorité des membres du groupe étaient prêts et disponibles pour partager leurs opinions avec nous. En outre nous avons contacté plusieurs anciens membres, ainsi que quelques personnes qui ont été étroitement impliquées. Nous les remercions tous pour leur contribution, particulièrement Clive, Mick, John J., John M. Rob, David et Mattias. Nous remercions aussi ceux dont nous avons utilisé les images ou dessins, parfois -désolés- sans autorisation. Les photos ont été fournies par Marcel Kolenbrander (1995-1998), Robin Stierkat (1998), Jan-Jaap de Haan (1999-2003), John Vis (2005), Olga Otten (2005) et beaucoup d'autres, que nous ne pouvons pas tracer.

    “It Bites Is a Band That Started in England in 1984 and Sort of Best Known for One Song Basically in England, a Song Called Calling All the Heroes

    “It Bites is a band that started in England in 1984 and sort of best known for one song basically in England, a song called Calling all the Heroes. They started out an out-and-out pop band like Duran Duran but then for the next album Once Around the World they sort of outed themselves as massive prog rockers which probably came as a bit of a chock to the record company, they were on a major label at the time called Virgin Records. They did that album and then the following album they did was like a straight ahead rock album in a bid to break the american market but, you know. Then after that in about 1990 the original lead singer left and that was the end of the group apparently every- one thought. Until about 2006 when I was asked to join so I joined them in 2006 and we did an album called The Tall Ships (2008) and then four years later we’ve done another one and that is pretty much a condensed history of It Bites.” Hallowed PDF-article 1 2 Hallowed PDF-article Design by Daniel Källmalm Design by Daniel Källmalm WRITTEN BY DANIEL KÄLLMALM why not as that is about all the tes.

This made watching the DVD film a little sketchy for me until it began and I found myself caught in some very interesting Progressive Rock music. As a long-time fan of old Marillion, I definitely caught some similarities in the style between Arena and the Fish years for Marillion.

He also has a couple of Google Ads costume changes during the set which bring to mind influences of Gabriel and Fish from Progressive years past and help out with the overall effect of Ads by Goooooogle the bands music. The music is performed to perfection by John Mitchell (guitar), Clive Nolan (keyboards), Ian Salmon (bass) and Mick Pointer (drums).

A special thanks to Kelly Hankin for her steadfast commitment to my success and delightful sense of humor—I could not have asked for a better advisor for this journey. To Jennifer Nelson, your guidance through my research and writing process is very much appreciated, thank you for pushing me to think outside of the box. Lastly, to Alon August, Emma Haas, Jackie Starks, Gregory Clark and Diana Clark, thank you for always encouraging me to work my hardest, even when the work may seem impossible. iv ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the HBO series Girls (2012-) from a feminist media studies perspective. Through an in depth analysis of the history of feminist television, this paper claims that Girls takes a pro-sex feminist stance on issues of sexuality and identity and therefore progresses the timeline of depictions of feminism in prime-time television.

  • John Mitchell, Kino, in the Context of &#8222

    John Mitchell, Kino, in the Context of „

    John Mitchell, Kino, in the context of „Radio Voltaire“ »Writing music that is personal to me but that I hope will resonate with people « These are outtakes of a conversation with John Mitchell for Classic Rock Germany, the bulk of this interview dealed with the new album itself and was published – in German, obviously – in CR # 04/2018. John, InsideOut’s Infosheet for „Radio Voltaire“ cites you as „I was originally planning on doing a third Lonely Robot album. But it was suggested this might be too soon. And then InsideOut suggested the idea of doing this new Kino album.“ Sounds a bit like Marketing getting into the way of an originally artistic decision? (quite a pause, after this a hearty laugh) Yes, doesn’t it? But it isn’t as sinister as that. I’ve spent the last ten years producing other bands – and enjoying this a lot. Then came the second Lonely Robot album and I still wanted to write music. So I was happy when it was suggested that I should hook up with Pete Trewavas again for another Kino release. Arena went for their own label Verglas Music at an early stage. Kino on the other hand (and Lonely Robot, for that matter) is released via InsideOut Music. What are the PROs and CONs? To begin with I never had any hand in Verglas but I certainly know both worlds. The obvious advantage of releasing via a label which is already established is that the musician can concentrate on his music and kind of stay in „musician mode“, without caring about marketing, distribution, without putting the business hat on.
  • Australia's Asylum Seeker Policy and Christmas Island

    Australia's Asylum Seeker Policy and Christmas Island

    Australia’s Asylum Seeker Policy and Christmas Island Michelle Jasmin Dimasi Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne Institute for Social Research Swinburne University of Technology 2015 ABSTRACT Debates about asylum seekers who arrive by boat regularly feature in Australia’s political and media spheres. Many of these discussions make reference to Christmas Island, an Australian outpost located in the Indian Ocean, where asylum seekers are detained. While most mainland Australians only hear or read about asylum seekers via the media, the people of Christmas Island experience asylum seekers face to face. While Christmas Island is often cited in discussions about Australia’s asylum seeker policy, little research has been conducted at the actual site of Christmas Island. This study seeks to provide insights into how Australia’s asylum seeker policy plays out at the Australian border. This research asks: How have Christmas Islanders responded to asylum seekers from 1992 to 2011, and what meaning can be made of these encounters? Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted on Christmas Island from 2008 to 2011, this thesis tells the story of the Christmas Island host community. Islander encounters with asylum seekers produce numerous and paradoxical responses that are best interpreted through the shifting nature of hospitality and are anchored in the various forms of proximity that are geographically shaped by the island’s location and the boundaries of detention. Islander responses to asylum seekers can be understood through the island’s history of marginalisation, shared experiences with asylum seekers, bearing witness, protest and the border economy that prevail within this island host community.
