  • CAPTAIN BEEFHEART SUN ZOOM SPARK: 1970 to 1972
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 012126 – 4688 7233 [email protected] CAPTAIN BEEFHEART SUN ZOOM SPARK: 1970 To 1972 Limitierte Box Sets mit neu gemasterten Versionen von Lick My Decals Off, Baby, The Spotlight Kid, Clear Spot und einer kompletten Disc mit unveröffentlichten Outtakes! Ab 14. November auf 4CD, 4LPs und als Download! Im legendären Katalog des unglaublichen CAPTAIN BEEFHEART überschattet das perfekt ausgeklügelte und experimentell angegangene Album Trout Mask Replica (1969) alles, was Don Van Vliet an weiteren Glanzleistungen vollbracht hat. Dies gilt leider auch für die drei herausragenden Nachfolge-Alben Lick My Decals, Baby (1970), The Spotlight Kid (1972) und Clear Spot (1972), die dem monumentalen Trout Mask Replica musikalisch und kreativ in Nichts nachstehen. Mit Sun Zoom Spark: 1970 To 1972 schaffen Rhino Rec. diesem ungerechtfertigten Zustand nun Abhilfe. Diese Sammlung legt ihren Fokus auf jene Alben, die CAPTAIN BEEFHEART in den frühen siebziger Jahren mit der Magic Band einspielte. Die Box enthält alle drei Alben, die zum ersten Mal seit ihrer Veröffentlichung remastert wurden sowie eine komplette CD mit 14 bisher unveröffentlichten Outtakes aus dem Umfeld der Aufnahmen. Sun Zoom Spark: 1970 To 1972 erscheint als 4-CD-Box, 4 LP-Box und zum Download. Lick My Decals Off, Baby wurde innerhalb weniger Wochen im Sommer 1970 im United Recording Group aufgenommen und erschien im Oktober des Jahres. Stets eines der persönlichen Favoriten Van Vliets, bezeichnet es den Höhepunkt seiner Experimente mit Dissonanzen und enthält so außergewöhnliche Tracks wie das schrullig- humorige „I Love You, You Big Dummy“ und das exquisite Gitarrensolo „One Red Nose That I Mean“ Im darauf folgenden Sommer 1971 entstand im Record Plant in Los Angeles das Album The Spotlight Kid, das Anfang 1972 veröffentlicht wurde.

  • Weirdo Eccentrics of the Margins & the Curse of Bel Canto
    Nick Hobbs / Weirdo eccentrics of the margins & the curse of bel canto -- 1 Weirdo eccentrics of the margins & the curse of bel canto © Nick Hobbs [email protected] (given at the Centre For Performance Research, Aberystwyth on 8.4.06) by Nick Hobbs This lecture is mostly taken from two lectures I wrote for the Pantheatre Voice Performance School: “Weirdo eccentrics of the margins & the curse of bel canto”, focused on the voice of the star of Popular music hell-canto, Captain Beefheart (nom-de-plume of Don Van Vliet), and "Singing whispers, croaks, growls and roars: An exploration of fractured voices from the Blues to Flamenco", which spoke, amongst many others, about Beefheart’s main mentor, the Chicago Blues singer, Howlin’ Wolf (nom-de-plume of Chester Burnett). During this week we’ve heard both hell and bel canto – Phil Minton and Natalka Polovynka to name two extremes. Enrique Pardo spoke about the image of Wolf as satyr and the myth of Marsyas’s challenge to Apollo - the aulos versus the lyre, and we’ve heard MaryAnn Roberts in Bragod, whose singing engages with the crwth, itself a descendent of lyre, but one whose buzzing timbre led her to use guttural sounds and overtone nasality in Bragod’s vocal palette. Both Wolf and Beefheart are firmly in the camp of hell canto, and I suppose were not capable of singing bel canto if they’d wanted to. Their voices correspond to their subject-matter and to their personae. Starting from their stage names, there’s a buffoon quality to both performers, giving them a kind of license to make barbed commentaries, to be nasty, wolfish, foxy and knowing.

Agradecimentos Em primeiro lugar, um grande obrigado à Professora Adriana Bebiano e ao Professor Jonathan Auerbach – à primeira por ter sugerido que o trabalho que fiz para o seu seminário poderia ser aprofundado e transformado numa dissertação de mestrado, e ao segundo por ter renovado o meu entusiasmo pelo estudo académico deste autor tão singular e tão pouco considerado. Deixo também os meus agradecimentos aos meus pais, familiares, amigos e namorada, que tanta paciência tiveram face à necessária reclusão monástica durante os meses que demorei a redigir este texto. Uma palavra de apreço à minha mãe e aos meus amigos Ivo Ivanov e Mark Fitzgerald por terem lido e tecido comentários sempre muito profícuos para a qualidade da tese. Finalmente, queria dizer que fiquei muito reconhecido pela ajuda crucial, durante a revisão do trabalho, dada especialmente pela Professora Graça Capinha, mas também pela Professora Maria Irene Ramalho. Ambas contribuíram muito para a transparência na argumentação e para a coesão global do texto, qualidades que me esforcei para lhe imprimir, no sentido de cativar todos aqueles, académicos ou não, que sintam curiosidade em explorar o mundo assombroso do recentemente falecido, mas indelével, Captain Beefheart, a quem dedico com orgulho a presente dissertação.

  • VPI Prime Scout Turntable
    VPI Prime Scout turntable stereophile.com/content/vpi-prime-scout-turntable We got our wish. Phonograph ownership is once again depicted as commonplace, even hip, in popular films, TV shows, and ads for other products. Turntables and LP jackets show up in photos in Elle Decor and Vanity Fair. New LPs are sold in stores in nice neighborhoods, and in malls with Cinnabon franchises and J.Crew stores. A shockingly high percentage of new record releases in which normal people are interested, and a few in which they are not, are now available on vinyl. For the first time in decades, I receive occasional gifts of new LPs—presumably because they're once again easy for nonenthusiasts to find and to buy—and the very few CDs I've received in the past few years have been homemade. We got our wish, but now there's a new challenge: When our hip, nice, Vanity Fair– reading, J.Crew-wearing, normal friends remember that we've been blowing this horn for dickity-seven years, and they come to us to ask, Which record player should I buy? . what are we to tell them? As long ago as the 1990s, I gave friends the same advice they probably heard from other people in my line of work: Buy a Rega Research Planar 3. If they were financially comfortable, I suggested a Rega Planar 9 or a Roksan Xerxes. If they were comfortable and had a tweaky streak, I suggested a Linn LP12. But in 2005, when I was assigned to review for Stereophile the VPI Scout—a turntable-plus-tonearm package that then sold for $1500—it impressed me as a solidly good alternative to my usual recommendations.
