Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Album Review: Blur – The Magic Whip Liam Mullally is surprised but pleased by how well this unexpected Blur album pulls off a consolidation of an outstanding career Monday 11 May 2015 Rating: ★★★☆☆ After a twelve year gap, Blur have returned with new material. Not only that, but Graham Coxon (who left the band early in the creation process of Think Tank) has re-joined, marking seventeen years since their last album as a complete band. In the meantime both frontman Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon have pursued separate ventures (including several solo albums each and Albarn’s collaborative multi-media project, Gorillaz), David Rowntree has become a qualified solicitor and Alex James has launched a line of cheeses in supermarkets. Despite this break, however, Blur seem to have been exempt from the kind of insatiable expectation that a band (particularly one as popular as Blur in their heyday) might rightfully expect after such a long and unsure hiatus. Perhaps it has something to do with the ongoing contributions of Albarn and Coxon in the http://nouse.co.uk/2015/05/11/album-review-blur-the-magic-whip Archived 11 Dec 2018 09:43:51 Nouse Web Archives Album Review: Blur – The Magic Whip Page 2 of 3 interim (or perhaps for me it has something to with the fact that their last album came out when I was seven, meaning Blur did not enter my life until my early teens and by the time I had fully explored their back catalogue only had to wait a few years). Regardless, not only does The Magic Whip’s return feel like a natural re-introduction for Blur, but they seem to have gained something by leaving and returning. This is definitely Blur, but in many ways it is a bringing together of the band’s work so far; a summation not just of all things Blur, but also all things Albarn and Coxon. Gorillaz’ Plastic Beach can be felt in the concerns and aesthetics of tracks such as ‘There are Too Many of Us’, which is preoccupied with a swelling population in increasingly small spaces, and ‘New World Towers’, which conveys a wonder and despair in reaction to a modern cityscape. The lonely, sincere vocals of Albarn’s solo album Everyday Robots crop up in ‘Thought I was a Spaceman’, while Coxon’s more aggressive guitar-driven work is also apparent throughout. ‘Ghost Ship’ feels a bit honed in, less guitar heavy and slightly mellowed version of Coxon’s ‘Bittersweet Bundle of Misery’. Coxon’s return has brought back elements from before Think Tank, particularly projects where he took the creative lead (such as 13), especially with the re-intoduction of more guitar based tracks such as ‘Go Out’ and ‘Ong Ong’. The more electronic sounds of the post-Coxon era (namely Think Tank, but also in Damon’s side projects) are also abundant, most notably in ‘Ice Cream Man’ and ‘My Terracotta Heart’. The Magic Whip is something both 13 and Think Tank; both Coxon and Albarn. Similarly, the aftershock of the band’s Britpop days can be felt. ‘I Broadcast’ begins with some unnerving synths but quickly establishes pace and builds into some Parklife or The Great Escape style guitar riffs and shouty Albarn vocals; even the short harmonies between Albarn and Coxon are reminiscent of this period (the two singing together also holds a comforting suggestion of the band’s re-found unity). While tracks such as ‘Pyongyang’ (which Albarn wrote after visiting the North Korean capital) can come together to create an intense sorrow, others, such as the boisterous ‘Ong Ong’, delve into hope and affection, even mellowing out into calm and ease in ‘Ghost Ship’. The tracks can be sinister or sweet, or both, as is certainly the case for the sinister ‘Ice Cream Man’, where something dangerous seems to lurk beneath an innocent surface. The Magic Whip is an album which spans Blur’s previous endeavours as a band, as well as a collection of individuals. While it could be criticised for its lack of innovation (while the album certainly collates the band’s varied enterprises and reshuffles their elements, it does not provide much that is truly new) there is little else of fault to be found. The album is interesting and varied, and well worth more than a few listens. Most Read Discussed 1. Review: Little Mix – LM5 2. Led Astray – The Case Against Greta Van Fleet 3.

  • 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir) David Sweeney During the Britpop era of the 1990s, the name of Mike Leigh was invoked regularly both by musicians and the journalists who wrote about them. To compare a band or a record to Mike Leigh was to use a form of cultural shorthand that established a shared aesthetic between musician and filmmaker. Often this aesthetic similarity went undiscussed beyond a vague acknowledgement that both parties were interested in 'real life' rather than the escapist fantasies usually associated with popular entertainment. This focus on 'real life' involved exposing the ugly truth of British existence concealed behind drawing room curtains and beneath prim good manners, its 'secrets and lies' as Leigh would later title one of his films. I know this because I was there. Here's how I remember it all: Jarvis Cocker and Abigail's Party To achieve this exposure, both Leigh and the Britpop bands he influenced used a form of 'real world' observation that some critics found intrusive to the extent of voyeurism, particularly when their gaze was directed, as it so often was, at the working class. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer and lyricist of the band Pulp -exemplars, along with Suede and Blur, of Leigh-esque Britpop - described the band's biggest hit, and one of the definitive Britpop songs, 'Common People', as dealing with "a certain voyeurism on the part of the middle classes, a certain romanticism of working class culture and a desire to slum it a bit".

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Paperback. Condition: New. Revised, Updated. Language: English . Brand New Book. Damon Albarn was the frontman of Blur and the face of Britpop. While his peers have gradually fallen by the wayside, Albarn has survived Britpop to completely re-invent himself as the mastermind behind the global phenomenon that is Gorillaz.

    Dad Dancing Tops List Of Parental Embarrassments As Summer Holidays Approach Submitted by: Mad as a March Hare Thursday, 11 July 2013 With the end of term just around the corner, you’d expect children to be counting down the days until school’s out. But as well as all the excitement family holidays generate, there are aspects that kids dread too. Research by Zeamu Music, a new record label for kids, found that parents taking to the dance floor after one sangria too many topped the list of embarrassing parent behaviour. The research was undertaken prior to writing their latest release ‘Doing The Robot” which captures the humiliation parents can bring on their children.
