    March27 May 2001 2005 Getting the Band Back Together Appeared in - The Adelaide Review Cream Royal Albert Hall, London 5 May When it was first announced in the English press that the 1960s cult group Cream was reforming for four nights at the Royal Albert Hall there was an outpouring, you might say, of dairy metaphors. Would they be as fresh as they were thirty seven years ago? Would the old enmities between mem- bers sour the occasion? Would they blend, or remain somehow colloidal? Would they prove to be long life, or go to powder? Word of the reunion first came from the guitarist, Eric Clapton, when he blurted the news on Radio 2 back in December last year, and, when tickets went on sale in March, all four concerts sold out in a matter of hours. Since then, rumours have been rife of tickets on e-Bay going for upwards of two thousand quid. On the night I attended there were dozens of scalpers briskly pacing the circumference of the Albert Hall looking to buy, sell and trade the hottest ticket in London. There are many reasons why a Cream reunion should be such an event. Hailed as the first supergroup - meaning, the players came from already successful bands - Cream, modestly named by Clapton to indicate their calibre, were, in 1966, something completely different. Their first album, Fresh Cream, with a cover depicting the band in aviator leathers while the title graphics formed a white psychedelic droplet in the right hand corner, suggested a new hybrid - musicians with peerless blues credentials (Alexis Korner, John Mayall, Graham Bond’s Organisation) were also pick- ing up signals from the acid rock scene in the American West.

Du Bois' theory of double consciousness, can be taken on by those who are White. I analyze songs both written and covered by Eric Clapton, to examine if elements of double consciousness are in his music. Furthermore, I analyze album covers that have Clapton's image on them, looking for characteristics of physical Blackness. My fmdings reveal that Eric Clapton does take on aspects of double consciousness, through his music, and facets of physical Blackness.

  • Modernism and the Psychedelic Art of Martin Sharp Michael K
    University of Wollongong Research Online Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) - Papers Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) 2018 Confrontational continuum: modernism and the psychedelic art of Martin Sharp Michael K. Organ University of Wollongong, [email protected] Publication Details Organ, M. K. 2018, 'Confrontational continuum: modernism and the psychedelic art of Martin Sharp', The iS xties: a journal of history, politics and culture, vol. 11, pp. 156-182. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Confrontational continuum: modernism and the psychedelic art of Martin Sharp Abstract The Australian artist Martin Sharp (1942-2013) produced a series of psychedelic artworks in London between 1966-8, the most famous of which were the Disraeli Gears record cover for rock group Cream and the Bob Dylan Blowin’ in the Mind poster. Sharp’s work exemplifies the connection between early twentieth century Modernist art movements, Pop art and acid-induced psychedelia of the 1960s. In addition, the poster Max Ernst: The Birdman from 1967, represents a homage to Dada and Surrealism, with special reference to anarchy, desire, and freedom of expression. In the spirit of Dada, the poster is meaningfully confrontational, exposing the darker side of the 1960s countercultural revolution in Western societies. This aspect of the youth movements of the 1960s is part of a continuum, drawing upon ideas and activities championed during the late 1910s and early 1920s by proponents of Dada and Surrealism. These resurfaced within the multifaceted counterculture of the 1960s, spurred on by Cold War tensions, rejection of 1950s conservative mores, opposition to nuclear proliferation, the conflict in Vietnam, an explosion in popular music, and the widespread use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD.

    AES Pacific NW Section Meeting Notice Around the Puget Sound, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. AES PNW Meeting Notice By special arrangement with Palm Pictures A film documentary Tom Dowd and The Language of Music September 30, 2004, 7:30pm Shoreline Community College, Room 818 (music building) Every so often a commercial film arrives which shows the magic, art, and science behind what many of us love to do: audio for music. The most recent entry in this category enchanted a number of members of the Committee, and the PNW Section invites you to join us for a special showing of the video of the film: Tom Dowd & the Language Of Music. http://www.aes.org/sections/pnw/index-pf.htm (1 of 3) [10/1/2004 1:17:35 AM] AES Pacific NW Section Meeting Notice Tom Dowd was born in 1925 to musical parents. While pursuing a degree in Nuclear Physics at Columbia University, he ended up working for the US Army Corps of Engineers on what came to be known as the Manhattan Project, whose responsibility was the development of the first atomic bombs. After the war, security concerns and red tape created a no-win situation: finishing his degree was pointless. A summer job after the war led to a career in the music business. He cut his first record in 1947 at the age of 22. He remained active in the business until shortly before his death at age 77. Early on, Dowd met the Ertegun brothers, Ahmet and Nesuhi. The Ertegun brothers had a record label, Atlantic Records, and they had the good sense and timing to hire Dowd and Jerry Wexler.

  • PRESS MUSIC of CREAM – 30Th ANNIVERSARY
    PRESS & REVIEWS "Be it through Baker’s pounding bursts during Sitting on the Top of the World, Bruce’s jazzy climbs throughout Politician, or the shreds and wails of Johns in Deserted Cities, the group had the audience eating out of the palm of their hands." – AmbientLightingBlog.com "Who better to explore Cream's music further than a group who share the same DNA... all three musicians (Baker, Bruce & Johns) have pedigree." – Team Rock "Eric, Ginger and Jack (if looking down on us), would be proud. This is an exceptional night of wonderful music." – The RockPit “They shook Sydney’s State Theatre with electrifying covers of timeless classics like Crossroads, White Room, Badge, Strange Brew, and of course, Sunshine Of Your Love. All musicians got their time in the spotlight however, taking turns on lead vocals for various tracks, jamming and taking the audience on an instrumental odyssey. Kofi Baker would make his father proud, busting out an impressive ten-minute drum solo that raised the roof". It's hard to believe that it's been 50 years since Cream's explosive debut, but this glorious band sure did them justice and made fans feel the fire and the freedom of 1967”. – TheMusic.com.au “Sitting On Top Of The World, found the trio sliding into their groove as Malcolm Bruce sang the song in a voice that was eerily like his father’s... Will Johns proved that he was no slouch on guitar, firing off a well-executed solo, that, if you closed your eyes, you could imagine Clapton was in the house..
