  • NEW RELEASE for the Week of January 8, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now!
    NEW RELEASE for the week of January 8, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! CLEAN "Mister Pop (re-issue 2009)” (MERGE) MRG325 LP January 29 street date. David Kilgour on "Mister Pop": ""Mister Pop" began in Brooklyn, NY, at Gary Olson's Marlborough Farms studio and was completed in the basement hall of First Church Dunedin. There is more synthesizer on this album than the others, mainly an old Juno synth. I do remember having a bath in Brooklyn while Robert was downstairs singing and writing. I thought he was singing "he's a factory man", so I dried off and went down and wrote "Factory Man" while thinking heavily of The Kinks". Robert Scott on "Mister Pop": "I remember thinking at the start of the NY sessions with Gary Olson, "is this the start of a new album?". We were coming up with quite a bit of new stuff, and of course, Gary is great to work with. We carried on at Burlington St in Dunedin with (engineer and Heavy 8) Tex Houston at the controls, good fun from what I remember, lots of mucking around with keyboards and synths. We were going for that Krautrock groove and we sure got it on "Tensile", one of my faves along with the pure pop of "Dreamlife". CLEAN "Unknown Country (re-issue 1996)” (MERGE) MRG739 LP January 29 street date. David Kilgour on "Unknown Country": "The Clean always wanna try something different, but on this LP, we were obsessed with the idea. I remember we generally left vocal ideas to last, after the tracks were recorded, so we never really knew where we were headed.

Rob Mazzella Steadfastly schooling himself on all things percussive, he took aim at fame, landed a gig with the multi-platinum band Breaking Benjamin, and became the kind of drum- mer other drummers aspire to be. 34 JEFF DAVIS When the conversation turns to modern gospel drumming, his name is the first to be mentioned, and always with deep respect. Ladies and gentle- men, the groove is here. 40 CHRISTOPH SCHNEIDER Today, German industrial rockers Rammstein sell out stadiums across Europe and beyond. But the drummer recognized by millions simply as Doom had to rebel against the classical preferences of his musician parents and roam far from home to find his true musical self. 34 46 STEVE JORDAN He has masterful command of the music he plays—and the way it sounds coming out of the speakers. But even master Paul La Raia musicians confront hurdles every day. Here, the always cutting-edge, always honest compadre of Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Keith Richards, and Neil Young schools us on achieving drumming greatness in the real world.
