Andromeda Heights Product Details Sales Rank: #215303 in Music Published on: 2006-01-01 Released on: 2000-03-13 Number of discs: 1 Format: Import Original language: English Number of items: 1 Dimensions: .50 h x 5.50 w x 5.00 l,.23 pounds If Paul McCartney had consistently good taste and Brian Wilson could stay focused, disciplined and clear-headed, either might, on a good day, hit Paddy McAloon's level.But for now, the leader of Prefab Sprout standsalone -- as he has for 15 years -- as the classiest, smartest and mostconsistently performer/composer in pop music. Andromeda Heights couldhave been McAloon's Smile. But he waited until he got it right, andproduced another superb album.It was impossible to top Jordan: TheComeback, so Prefab Sprout didn't even try.With this gorgeous, hearfeltalbum, the Sprouts grab the note of mystical transcendence that closedJordan and, incredibly, push it to the next level.There's the almostpsychopathic anger of Prisoner of the Past, the bittersweet warnings ofSwans and the seemingly fatalistic resignation of The Fifth Horseman; mixedin with these strains, and ultimately triumphant, is the joy of ElectricGuitars, the hope of Avenue of Stars and the metaphysical triumph ofAndromeda Heights.One gets the sense of a man settling down and beginningto deal more directly with the meaning of and relationship between life andlove while confronting the specter -- or promise -- of eternity. A tourde force -- from the one person in contemporary music who has the courage-- or audacity -- to take on the hard issues, and the talent and vision topull it off. I agree with my fellow Glass City Sprouts fan.If Paddy McAloon set out to make an album full of simple melodies and lyrics, he succeeded.I don't, however, listen to Prefab Sprout to hear such music.This album, front to back was a profound disappointment, even compared with the usual pop drivel out there.Compared with earlier Sprouts efforts, it was a tragic disappointment.There is very little musical or lyrical depth and substance on this record.It is simply uninteresting. Don't waste your money.If you haven't heard any albums from the band, check out Two Wheels Good, Swoon and Jordan.If you have, be extremely wary before buying Andromeda, and find a record shop that will let you listen to it before purchasing.On a positive note, I look forward to seeing what follows Andromeda.I'm confident that Paddy has some more platinum in the vault. Fans had to endure 6 long years of dead silence before getting to hear Prefab's follow-up to the brilliant Jordan: the Comeback. Some hoped that McAloon was using this time to create the masterpiece that would actually surpass the unsurpassable genius of the preceding albums. But as the years dragged on, some lost hope, fearing he'd thrown in the towel, or that the band had unceremoniously vanished into obscurity. But seemingly out of nowhere, McAloon came out with this strange album that scarcely resembles Prefab's past work. My feelings on AH are bittersweet. Interestingly, its sound indicates that McAloon was completely oblivious to mid to late-90s recording developments. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but whereas mid-90s contemporaries like the High Llamas, Stereolab, and Aluminum Group were reaching back in time to analog synths, Farfisa organs, and Bacharach/Brian Wilson horn/string sections, McAloon took a different and altogether more VH-1 route with AH, slathering it in a grotesquely slick, Elton John/Disney-soundtrack production, forcing one to wonder if he had shifted his target audience to sentimental, middle-aged, suburban housewives who cry when they hear Candle in the Wind. The orchestral arrangements combine with prevalent, irksome X-Files sounding synthesizers. The music is devoid of any underlying tension (partly due to the absence of drummer Neil Conti), and instead possesses a languid, spacey, cinematic feel. Sometimes this works, but proves numbing over the course of the album. The songs themselves are hit and miss. Electric Guitars, Four Horsemen, and Weightless retain McAloon's tried and true knack for infectious, effortlessly brilliant, pop genius. Other tunes, like Whoever You Are and Prisoner of the Past are okay, but pale when compared to past glories like Cruel. Everything else is dull, uninspired, and irreparably damaged by the icky, sterile sound. Adding insult to injury, the lyrics are laced with unforgivably awful, sentimental, Hallmark dross that would make any Precious Moments collecting simpleton feel warm and fuzzy. This may reflect McAloon's settling down into middle-age and shedding his youthful angst, but settling down never got the better of Mark E. Smith or Cathal Coughlan! If you're a Prefab diehard, you'll find a few songs here to make it worthwhile. But, it's truly disappointing and alienating to hear McAloon lose the edge that made his work in the 80s so crucial. It's only appropriate here to mention Cathal Coughlan's mantra of keep music EVIL! See all 20 customer reviews...

Brian Wilson, une exposition 17 novembre 2007 – 9 mars 2008 Vernissage: 16 novembre 2007, 19 heures Commissaire : Alex Farquharson Trevor Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Peter Blake, Mel Bochner, John Cage, Brian Calvin, Vija Celmins, Russell Crotty, Thomas Demand, Kaye Donachie, Isa Genzken, Liam Gillick, Jeremy Glogan, Joe Goode, George Greenough, Rodney Graham, Richard Hawkins, Roger Hiorns, Jim Isermann, Sister Corita Kent, Roy Lichtenstein, John McCracken, Lee Mullican, Kaz Oshiro, Bruno Peinado, Raymond Pettibon, Richard Pettibone, Ken Price, Martial Raysse, Bridget Riley, Allen Ruppersberg, Ed Ruscha, Jim Shaw, Fred Tomaselli, Jennifer West, Pae White, Isaac Witkin. Grande Nef du CAPC L’exposition If Everybody had an Ocean a pour fil conducteur la fascination qu’a exercé Brian Wilson, le mythique compositeur des Beach Boys, sur plusieurs générations d’artistes. Dans cette exposition, sa vie et sa musique sont un prisme à partir duquel on peut relire les développements de l’art depuis les années 60, en particulier dans sa relation à la culture populaire et au contexte social et urbain de la Californie. L’art devient aussi le moyen de reconsidérer les contradictions qu’il y a entre l’image populaire et lisse des Beach Boys et l’ambition musicale complexe et géniale de Brian Wilson. En se concentrant sur des oeuvres qui mélangent Pop Art, peinture abstraite, Minimalisme et Art Conceptuel– un phénomène récurrent dans l’art de la Côte Ouest – l’exposition questionne implicitement la pertinence de ces catégories historiques.

    Über Den Dächern Von Durham Generation

    Kultur as Blöde mit der Genialität ist, dass sie wahrscheinlich nie ganz POP Dohne Tragik auskommt. Paddy McAloon, inzwischen 56 Jahre alt, gilt als einer der größten Songwriter seiner Über den Dächern von Durham Generation. Niemand schreibt so voll - endet und leichtfüßig. Und eigentlich ist auch die neue Single seiner Band Prefab Paddy McAloon gilt als einer der größten Songwriter. Der Brite Sprout das reine, rauschhafte Pop-Glück. ist halbblind, halbtaub und sieht aus wie der liebe Gott. „The Best Jewel Thief in the World“ heißt das Lied, mit aufstrebenden Gitarren - Doch er singt immer noch wie der junge Mann, der er einst war. akkorden und Polizeisirenen erzählt es die Geschichte des besten Juwelendiebs der Welt und wie er in der Euphorie des geglückten Raubs über die nächtlichen Dächer schleicht. Seit zwölf Jahren haben Prefab Sprout keine neuen Songs mehr veröffentlicht. Kaum jemand hat ihr Comeback erwartet. Paddy McAloon hört nicht mehr rich - tig. Vor einigen Jahren hatte er einen schweren Hörsturz. Wenn er seine Lieder hört, muss er sich das Störgeräusch weg - denken, das noch immer in seinen Ohren brummt wie eine aggressive Klimaanlage. Den Bass kriegt er nur noch auf der lin - ken Seite mit. Und laut darf er das, was er da produziert hat, auch nicht hören, weil er den Rest seines Gehörs verlieren könnte. Er kann nicht mehr reisen, nicht mehr live auftreten. Songs schreiben, das geht noch. Manchmal nimmt er sie auch auf, aber da wird es schon kompliziert. Ein warmer Spätsommertag in der Stu - dentenstadt Durham unweit der Grenze zu Schottland. McAloon ist in der Nähe aufgewachsen, sein Vater hat hier eine Tankstelle geführt, er selbst hat die Ge - gend nie wirklich verlassen.

    Settimanale Di Migros Ticino Finezza E Genialità

    Finezza e genialità Paddy McAloon, genio misconosciuto del pop inglese, offre la riedizione rimasterizzata del suo più trascurato capolavoro / 28.01.2019 di Benedicta Froelich Uno degli aspetti più frustranti della scena rock internazionale risiede senz’altro in quel triste fenomeno che, da parecchi anni a questa parte, vede molti dei nomi più artisticamente interessanti soccombere davanti alle regole del mercato e dello star system, e sparire così nell’ombra ben prima del tempo, senza aver ottenuto i legittimi riconoscimenti. Accade perciò che un genio indiscusso come l’angloirlandese Paddy McAloon – classe 1957, mente e voce della band dei Prefab Sprout – rimanga a tutt’oggi perlopiù sconosciuto al grande pubblico. Nonostante il suo gruppo abbia beneficiato di un discreto successo a cavallo tra gli anni 80 e 90 grazie a brani pop accattivanti quali The King of Rock’n’Roll e Hey Manhattan!, i maggiori capolavori di songwriting da lui firmati (come Jordan: The Comeback e Andromeda Heights) non sono mai stati compresi o apprezzati fino in fondo dalle masse; e il lungo silenzio discografico della band – infine interrotto dalla pubblicazione dell’ottimo Let’s Change the World with Music (2009) – ha fatto dello schivo e sfuggente Paddy una sorta di guru della scena rock, da molti salutato come la «primula rossa» del cantautorato anglosassone. Eppure, nonostante la sua assenza dai riflettori, McAloon è ancora in grado di riservare autentiche sorprese: lo dimostra la riedizione rimasterizzata di questo I Trawl the Megahertz, lavoro solista originariamente pubblicato nel 2003 – in un momento in cui l’artista aveva del tutto perduto la vista a causa di un distacco di ambo le retine e, costretto a casa dall’improvvisa invalidità, trovava conforto nell’ascoltare talk show radiofonici.
