Alfred Kirchner's Götterdämmerung

The Article has images
2007-10-21 18:20:00 by Patrick J. Smith in The Penitent Wagnerite
...suitably godlike and powerful. Indeed, she was the imposing presence on stage that Gwyneth Jones most assuredly was not for Boulez. Falk Struckmann is a solid Gunther, but I am still partial to Franz Mazura's dim, stuffy plutocrat from Chéreau's Götterdämmerung . He was a bit past his prime voice, but his bearing and appearance fit the...

TANGENT, THE - Going Off On One (2007)

2008-02-05 16:24:29 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...suitably animated throughout. It's great to see Guy Manning performing with the band as well, and he helps fill out the sound noticeably when compared to the previous official bootleg release, Pyramids and Stars But what of the performance? Well, the DVD shows us the complete concert from, I think, Southend on Sea in England. Fortunately,...

VAI, STEVE - G3: Live in Tokyo (2005)

2008-05-03 05:33:17 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...suitably crazy for such a rockin' song. I remember the first time I watched this DVD, and watching the facial expressions that Vai makes duing the first main guitar solo, just made me crack up laughing. Even many views later, it brings a smile of amusement to my face everytime. Bass master Billy Sheehan gives us a thundering bass solo...

EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER - Works Live (1993)

2008-06-14 14:35:39 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...suitably tacky via the Yamaha GX1 and although hardly a grand musical opus, it is great fun and played with just the right amount of tongue in cheek bravura. For those of you with sufficiently strong stomachs, there is a 'dance/house' version of this track by someone/thing called Bassment Jaxx which proves if nothing else, that even God has a...

YES - Drama (1980)

The Article has images
2008-08-19 22:11:37 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...suitably Yes-ish spiritual lyrics, and, most importantly, making full use of a range of dynamics. Classic Yes, and I don't say that lightly White Car, lasting less than a minute and a half, is a somewhat odd track. Focused very much on a keyboard riff, with all sorts of small percussiony and acoustic things appearing. Trevor Horn provides a...

2007-12-19 12:01:47 by Mike Mineo in Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog
...suitably classified as ineffable. Proof of Youth marks the groups second album, with styles ranging from star-studded hip-hop to cutesy indie-pop being seamlessly incorporated. Ninja, the groups leading rapper, takes control in the infectious Grip Like a Vice. Though drizzling guitars and trademark horns make their entry during the infectious...

2007-12-18 12:05:27 by Mike Mineo in Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog
...Suitably enough, it is hard to find a year-end list that does not list their absolutely infectious D.A.N.C.E. as one of the best singles of the year. It is certainly justifiable too; the debut album from Frances latest electro-house duo is filled with moments of absolute irresistibility, with the catchy ode to Michael Jackson (D.A.N.C.E.)...

Maria Stuarda

...suitably exotic backdrop. Of course, these operas were no more historically accurate than any other location; Rossini's La Donna del Lago was no more Scottish than his Maometto secondo represents a real episode in Turkish/Venetian history The Romantic movement was very interested in the exotic other and this crops up in many ways in many...
