  • Hawkwind – 50Th Anniversary Live
    Hawkwind – 50th Anniversary Live (58:39 + 48:56, CD, Vinyl, Cherry Red Records, 2020) So kennt man die Space-Rock- Urgesteine. Da feiern Hawkwind ihr 50-jähriges Jubiläum, aber statt darum ein Riesenbrimborium zu veranstalten bauen die Mannen um Dave Brock völlig unprätentiös eine Setlist aus einiges unverwüstlichen Klassikern, aber ebenfalls Material des aktuellen Studioalbums „All Aboard The Skylark“ zusammen. Optisch ansprechend verpackt mit einer Laserhsow, dazu als Gast den langzeitig freundschaftlich verbundenen Kompagnon Phil Campbell – seines Zeichens Gitarrist bei Motörhead – und fertig ist das individuelle Geburtstagspaket. Der Mitschnitt zu diesem Livealbum entstand auf dem Abschlusskonzert der „50th Anniversay Tour“ im November 2019 in der legendären Royal Albert Hall in London. Es steht zwar „50“ drauf, aber letztendlich steckt natürlich etwas weniger drinnen. Denn Hawkwind streifen eben nur einige Stationen ihrer umfangreichen Karriere, setzen zwar in erster Linie auf die Klassiker der 70er wie z.B. ‚Born To Go‘, ‚Space Is Deep‘, ‚Spirit Of The Age‘, ‚The Watcher‘, ‚Silver Machine‘ oder die beiden Doppelpacks ‚Assault And Battery / The Golden Void‘ und ‚Master Of The Universe / Welcome To The Future‘. Doch genauso bekommen insgesamt fünf Stücke aus „All Aboard The Skylark“ ihr Recht. Letztendlich ist dies ein teilweise übergangslos ineinander greifender Mix aus offensichtlichen Klassikern, wenngleich ohne die ganz großen Überraschungen. Dazu noch ein kurzes Blitzlicht in die 80er und 90er, angereichert um aktuelle Stücke. Immerhin gedenkt man beim unverwüstlichen ‚Silver Machine‘ dem legendären ehemaligen Bandmitglied Lemmy Kilmister, wobei ebenfalls der typische augenzwinkernde Humor nicht fehlen darf. Denn der bei diesem Stück den Gesang übernehmende Schlagzeuger Richard Chadwick kontert ganz locker die Frage „Richard verliert seine Stimme, möchtest Du noch ‚Silver Machine‘ singen?“ mit einem klaren „Es geht noch“ und schon geht die sprichwörtliche und gut geölte Space-Rock-Post, der Trip in weite Sphären, mit Volldampf ab.

  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and Counting…
    5 JAN 18 1 FEB 18 1 | 5 JAN 18 - 1 FEB 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and counting… As you’ll spot deep within this programme (and hinted at on the front cover) January 2018 sees the start of a series of films that lead up to celebrations in October marking the 40th birthday of Filmhouse as a public cinema on Lothian Road. We’ve chosen to screen a film from every year we’ve been bringing the very best cinema to the good people of Edinburgh, and while it is tremendous fun looking back through the history of what has shown here, it was quite an undertaking going through all the old programmes and choosing what to show, and a bit of a personal journey for me as one who started coming here as a customer in the mid-80s (I know, I must have started very young...). At that time, I’d no idea that Filmhouse had only been in existence for less than 10 years – it seemed like such an established, essential institution and impossible to imagine it not existing in a city such as Edinburgh. My only hope is that the cinema is as important today as I felt it was then, and that the giants on whose shoulders we currently stand feel we’re worthy of their legacy. I hope you can join us for at least some of the screenings on this trip down memory lane... And now, back to the now.

  • For Fans of Metal's Seamy, Unsavory Past, This Is a Great Time to Be Alive
    Nevertheless, it features a few stomping, pop- metal nuggets in the form of the sprite “Sweet Surrender,” the slightly seedy “Trash Queen” and the messy-but-fun Gary Glitter cover “Alrite with the Boyz.” The band would go on to release two more albums with a dirtier, more street-oriented sound that lacked the personality and cheap charm of the first LP. Witchfinder General borrowed their riffs or fans of metal’s seamy, unsavory past, this is a great from early Sabbath, dressed up in Victorian-era time to be alive.
