Culturebunker CULTUREBUNKER ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - "Dancing Horses Live DVD" - MVD Visual [Aug 07] This concert DVD is recommended for all longtime fans of these chilly Liverpudlian rockers. The setlist is a tour through their bigger sounding music, not quite a "hits tour" but a set chosen to blend the newer songs with the old standards. "Scissors In The Sand" from their recent "Siberia" album slots in next to "The Cutter" and if you hadn't bought "Siberia" you'd think you were hearing a lost b-side contemporary to their 1983 masterpiece "Porcupine." This show was shot in London in 2005 and in visual and audio quality, they've done a great job. Mostly intuitive editing, keeping the focus on the two stars, Mac and Sergeant. They are the only 2 original members, as Pete deFreitas died in a motorbike crash years ago and bassist Les Pattinson moved on some time ago. The fill- in men are young and hip but stay in the background, letting Mac and his floppy hair, sunglasses, and ever-ready cigarette weave a spell of post-punk magic. Highlights include a haunting rendition of "the Disease" followed by "All That Jazz" that reminds one instantly of the greatness the Bunnymen were capable of achieving. It is 25 years on, since a gangly trio debuted at a Liverpool YMCA with a drum machine (the original "Echo"), and so our two heroes are a bit long in the tooth, Mac's 1980's devastating good looks have matured, Will has filled out a bit, but they still sound amazing and deliver the goods. --- Leeds 8/11 top http://www.culturebunker.com/noise_e_h.html .

  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above.

  • The English Occupational Song
    UNIVERSITY OF UMEÅ DISSERTATION ISSN 0345-0155-ISBN 91-7174-649-8 From the Department of English, Faculty of Humanities, University of Umeå, Sweden. THE ENGLISH OCCUPATIONAL SONG AN ACADEMIC DISSERTATION which will, on the proper authority of the Chancellor's Office of Umeå University for passing the doctoral examination, be publicly defended in Hörsal E, Humanisthuset, on Saturday, May 23, at 10 a.m. Gerald Porter University of Umeå Umeå 1992 ABSTRACT THE ENGLISH OCCUPATIONAL SONG. Gerald Porter, FL, Department of English, University of Umeå, S 901 87, Sweden. This is the first full-length study in English of occupational songs. They occupy the space between rhythmic work songs and labour songs in that the occupation signifies. Occupation is a key territorial site. If the métier of the protagonist is mentioned in a ballad, it cannot be regarded as merely a piece of illustrative detail. On the contrary, it initiates a powerful series of connotations that control the narrative, while the song's specific features are drawn directly from the milieu of the performer. At the same time, occupational songs have to exist in a dialectical relationship with their milieu. On the one hand, they aspire to express the developing concerns of working people in a way that is simultaneously representational and metaphoric, and in this respect they display relative autonomy. On the other, they are subject to the mediation of the dominant or hegemonic culture for their dissemination. The discussion is song-based, concentrating on the occupation group rather than, as in several studies of recent years, the repertoire of a singer or the dynamics of a particular performance.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

    Echo & The Bunnymen - Dancing Horses DVD Review http://www.concertlivewire.com/echodvd.htm concert reviews cd reviews interviews features ticket swap music news A skimpy and low-fi production that's still worth it Echo & The Bunnymen - Dancing Horses DVD Review (MVD Visual) 3 stars (out of 5 stars) Reviewed: July 14, 2007 Story and live photo by Andy Argyrakis The line-up may have shifted and the group has switched record labels on numerous occasions, but one element Echo & The Bunnymen has consistently stuck to its hypnotic, post-punk/new wave-tipped blend of alternative rock. Whether it was the band's middle to late 1980s peak commercial period or more recent years, those suave and entrancing sounds remain relevant and essential to faithful followers. In this particular project's case, the concert footage was filmed during the 2005 tour in support of Siberia (Cooking Vinyl), a generally solid album that found critical acceptance, despite failing to sell to the degrees of its heyday. Yet the nucleus of singer Ian McCulloch and guitarist Will Sergeant seemed undaunted throughout a mixture of relatively new cuts and greatest hits in this sold out performance from Shepherds Bush Empire. The interplay between the past and present is evident throughout the 19-song set, pitting the brooding newcomer "Stormy Weather" against the classic "Bring On the Dancing Horses," both of which showcase a remarkably tight band and a complimentary sonic thread. The recent "Scissors In the Sand" grinds with gritty firmness, which is followed by the rippling bass beats and dramatic guitar jangles of "All That Jazz." The gang gets even dirtier come "The Cutter," a longtime favorite for its delightfully feverish cult following that's aged remarkably well (a trait later passed on to the prominent single "Lips Like Sugar," which brings up the set list's rear in grand fashion).

Le légendaire groupe de Liverpool a remis l’ouvrage sur le métier en 2014, sans nostalgie aucune. Depuis les années 80, Echo & The Bunnymen s’est inscrit comme l’un des hérauts de la musique britan- nique indé. Soutenus par une section rythmique démente, le charismatique leader Ian McCul- loch et le guitariste Will Sergeant ont fait se convertir des milliers de kids aux préceptes post punk et new wave. Aujourd’hui, McCulloch et Sergeant n’ont pas perdu la main et perpé- tuent leur histoire. En témoignent les cri- tiques élogieuses de leur dernier album en date et leurs prestations live, qu’ils qualifient de bien plus intenses qu’avant. Autant dire que ce concert-événement est à placer du côté des must see de l’année. En ouverture, les fines gâchettes de Adieu Gary Cooper et leur « French noise pop » sauront chauffer à blanc le public de l’Alhambra ! www.bunnymen.com adieugarycooper.ch La Bâtie 2017 Dossier de presse Echo & The Bunnymen Groupe formé en 1978 à Liverpool par Ian McCulloch (chant, guitare), Will Sergeant (gui- tare) et Les Pattinson (basse), Pete de Freitas (batterie) remplaçant en 1979 la boîte à rythme nommé Echo. Les Bunnymen connurent le succès dès leur premier album, Crocodiles (1980), où ils se caractérisent par un son profond et assez inattendu de la part d’un groupe privilégiant les guitares au détriment des synthés.
