..::OPIS::..
Symfonicznie – album koncertowy grupy Lady Pank z towarzystwem Orkiestry Symfoników Gdańskich.
Wydany w 2012 roku z okazji trzydziestolecia zespołu.

Utwory były rejestrowane podczas koncertów grupy w katowickim spodku i warszawskiej Sali Kongresowej, z udziałem Orkiestry Symfoników Gdańskich pod dyrekcją Andrzeja Szczypiorskiego.
Pomysł płyty zrodził się w 2008 roku – wówczas Lady Pank pierwszy raz zagrał z Orkiestrą Symfoników Gdańskich, w ramach Gdańskiego Widowiska Nocy Świętojańskiej.
Aranżacje utworów wykonał wiolonczelista Orkiestry Symfoników Gdańskich

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Szwedzka Katatonia wydała we wrześniu tego roku swój nowy materiał koncertowy na płycie DVD. Przypomnijmy, że na opublikowanej w 2005 roku kompilacji The Black Sessions znalazł się zapis występu formacji z Krakowa z trasy koncertowej promującej album Viva Emptiness, zaś w 2007 roku światło dzienne ujrzało wydawnictwo Live Consternation zawierające zapis koncertu z Summer Breeze Open Air z Niemiec w dwóch formatach - CD i właśnie DVD.

Last Fair Day Gone Night jest zatem trzecim podejściem kapeli do tej materii. Tym razem dostajemy zapis koncertu grupy z 6 maja 2011 roku w londyńskim klubie Koko. Muzycy świętowali wtedy 20 – lecie zespołu i wykonali w całości, mający wówczas 10 lat, krążek Last Fair Deal Gone Down. Album wyjątkowy, przez wielu uważany za jedno z ich najważniejszych osiągnięć. I to on jest ozdobą pierwszej części koncertu. Wykonany od A do Z, to znaczy od znakomitego Dispossession, po kończący całość Don`t Tell A Soul, nic nie stracił ze swojej siły – niesamowitej mieszanki ciężkich riffów, zimnego głosu Jonasa Renkse, doskonałej melodyki i unoszącego się nastroju wszechobecnej melancholii. Panowie Renkse, Nyström, Eriksson, Liljekvist i Sandin wkładają kawał serducha w to wykonanie a publiczność wypełniająca szczelnie Koko przyjmuje ich entuzjastycznie. Druga część zarejestrowanego występu ma charakter przekrojowy. Muzycy prezentują wybrane numery ze swoich wcześniejszych albumów. Są zatem wyjątki z Brave Murder Day (doskonały, transowy Brave, jedyny w zestawie przypominający czasy, gdy Renkse używał growlu), Discouraged Ones (I Break), Tonight's Decision (Right Into The Bliss), The Great Cold Distance (między innymi „przebojowe” My Twin i July) a nawet takie rarytasy jak, dodany bonusowo do wspomnianego The Great Cold Distance, Dissolving Bonds oraz Wait Outside, który nagrany na potrzeby krążka Viva Emptiness pierwotnie znalazł się na kompilacji The Black Sessions. Najwięcej, bo aż pięć numerów mamy oczywiście z płyty Night Is the New Day, która w momencie koncertu była ostatnim studyjnym dziełem Szwedów. Zresztą okładka tego krążka ozdabia scenę, będąc tłem dla grającego zespołu. A skoro już jesteśmy przy tym, co widać. Materiał został zrealizowany przy użyciu sporej liczby kamer, zmontowany jest dynamicznie i solidnie oddaje dramaturgię występu. Dla pewnego urozmaicenia na obraz nakładane są niekiedy różne efekty nadające mu pewnej chropowatości i surowości.

Last Fair Day Gone Night ma charakter czteropłytowego boksu. Na dyskach CD zamieszczono koncert, który w formie wizyjnej powtórzony jest na płycie DVD. Czwarty dysk w zestawie (a drugi DVD) zawiera dokument A 20th Year Flashback Documentary. To rzecz trwająca prawie dwie i pół godziny i powiedzmy sobie otwarcie… mocno przegadana. Bo oto oglądając archiwalne fotografie i tylko nieliczne przebitki filmowe słuchamy opowieści poszczególnych muzyków (Jonasa Renkse, Andersa Nyströma i Daniela Liljekvista), którzy rok po roku komentują historię zespołu na tle ledwie słyszalnej muzyki z danego okresu. Pewnie, że to prawdziwa encyklopedia dla każdego fana kapeli (i do tego pełna pikantnych imprezowo – alkoholowych szczegółów – oj, potrafią panowie zaszaleć), jednak trudno ją przebrnąć za jednym zamachem. Polscy fani powinni jednak uważnie prześledzić ten filmik, ponieważ pojawiają się w nim między innymi wspomnienia dotyczące pierwszej wizyty grupy w Polsce sprzed 14 laty, podczas której przemierzali nasz kraj… pociągiem i zagrali między innymi na Metalmanii u boku Opeth.

Boks wydany jest pięknie w formie gustownego, twardego digipaka, z grubą książeczką i grafikami Travisa Smitha. To rzecz, która powinna zadowolić każdego miłośnika grupy, ale i ze względu na swój mocno przekrojowy charakter, może być doskonałym wprowadzeniem w twórczość grupy dla tych, którzy jeszcze jej nie poznali.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

I saw this video in record shops some years ago in the VHS format, but I never bought it until now, available as DVD.
As "The Story of Supertramp So Far" (until 1990, when the video was made), it really is very brief in the information given about the history of the band: about 12 minutes from their period with Roger Hodgson (1969-83), and about 15 minutes from Hodgson`s departure until the split of the band in 1988. It also has some incorrect information: the first two albums of the band were not recorded by the original line-up, as the narrator says. So, in comparison to other "Video Biographie"s of other bands ("Yesyears" from YES and "Genesis- an History" by Genesis, both released in 1991), this video of Supertramp has very little information, but, a very good thing is that they included 11 complete songs from two concerts filmed during their last tour with Hodgson in 1983 (Toronto and Munich), which is the best part of the video (and the YES and Genesis videos, in comparison, only showed fragments of songs!). In general, all songs are played well, with the help of two guest musicians, Fred Mandel (keyboards, guitar) and a young Scott Page (saxophones, flute, guitar, vocals; years later he also played with Pink Floyd between 1987 and 1989). But as the previous reviewer wrote, most of the time the cameras are focused on Hodgson, Davies and Helliwell, and less time on Siebenberg, Thomson, and the guest musicians. But, at last I could see an official and profesionally filmed concert video of the band (I think that some of these songs were available to be seen in youtube.com some months ago; I remember seeing "Crime of the Century" there). There are some variations to previous live versions of these songs: Helliwell and Page share some sax solos; Page adds flute to one song; there are two guitars playing the solo in "Crime of the Century" (as in the original studio version). "Give a Little Bit" is played a bit faster than the studio version, and at last I could see a live version of "Goodbye Stranger" played with Hodgson. It is also good to see and hear Hodgson singing and playing his own songs in concert with Supertramp, and these live versions are, in my opinion, more "Genuine" than the live versions played by the band without Hodgson.

The DVD also includes five bonus video clips of the next songs:

-"My Kind of Lady": from the "...famous last words..." album, with the members of the band dressed as singers from the fifties. In this video is apparent for me that the split of Hodgson from the band was on the way, as the cameras are focused most of the time in Davies-Helliwell-Siebenberg-Thomson, and in the "backing band" scenes the four of them also appear, with Hodgson only briefly appearing playing the guitar.

-"Cannonball": a video clip of the edited single version of the song, with scenes of "Primitive Man and Woman" mixed with scenes of the band playing in an open air theatre (is it the Hollywood Bowl?).

-"Better Days": an interesting video clip with some political images and futuristic images of the world. Some politicians are also shown in this video.

-And two video clips from songs of the "Free as a Bird" album: "Free as a Bird" and "I`m Beggin` You". It seems that I`m one of the very few persons in this world who like this album, so I also liked both videoclips. The video for "Free as a Bird" shows the band doing a playback of the song with images of birds flying. "I^m Begging You" shows the members of the band filmed on the streets of one city (Los Angeles?) with some images of some women walking on the street too.

In conclusion, this is a good DVD, but maybe the main interest to release it for commercial purposes was to show the band playing in concert during 1983, more than being a long Documentary of the band with more detailed information of their history.So it works better as a concert video, in my opinion.

..::OPIS::..

I noticed the expression 'Christian prog (rock)' just recently but this style wasn't new for me because during my teenage years, back in the 70s, I attended a cluster of gigs in churches and temples and those amateur bands that displayed then worked mainly in the prog-related lines, maybe due to the use of keyboards, flute, acoustic guitars and soft vocals those bands were driven into a more proggish approach. Some songs have a kind of heavenly tenderness and were the favorites to be covered, like ELP's 'Jerusalem' (I mean, their version), PFM's 'Appena un pò', O Terço's 'Tributo ao sorriso' (very uplifting lyrics, indeed), amidst some others. While some friends (both genders) preferred something more danceable, I must confess that having a prog-heart these covers delighted me and I didn't care too much about the intended holy message or the intrinsic proselytism - I liked the music and that was enough.
However, I find the expression 'Christian prog', a bit disturbing; are those doing music with this label the only ones who embrace the said religion? Are they the only ones that have faith? Are all other acts, not labeled so, doomed to the fires of inferno? To avoid confusion maybe a new tag should be thought for labeling those songs and musicians attached to the religious dominion. Well, at least for the progressive realm, they continue to trail those genres we all are used to identify: symphonic, neo, metal, and so on.

That said, it's time to review Neal Morse's DVD titled "Sola Scriptura & Beyond" which is primarily a symphonic-prog production based mainly upon his 2007 "Sola Scriptura" album but containing additional stuff from other albums and also from his Transatlantic & Spock's Beard time that are able to amuse musically the average hearer, being the latter, spiritually gifted or not. While lyrically Neal Morse runs in a particular lane marked by his personal experiences with the divine, musically he keeps a way close to that of Spock's Beard soft side, adding bits of gospel and pop-rock and significant doses of poignancy. Checking how this blend work in a live show is an interesting deal.

Neal appeared very enthusiastic, excited, emotive, energetic. and this posture soon wrapped up his entire staff, mainly the technical people and the supporting band. Considering that the core of this DVD was recorded in The Netherlands, it's not a surprise that the majority of Neal Morse's crew members are Dutch and consequently the audience too. The accompanying musicians are pretty young but showed a high level of professionalism and while a bit shy initially they soon joined Morse's liveliness.

The initial part of Disc 1 containing the "Sola Scriptura" tracks shows Morse & band very concerned for a few participative audience, which is explainable since the songs weren't too much known then - even so the result is beyond fair due to the musicians' skills. The 'Question Mark Medley' and 'Testimedley' sections open the gates for a more warm response from the audience that makes the overall atmosphere to grow intensely. The two final songs 'We all need some light' and 'Wind at my back' from Morse's Transatlantic and Spock's Beard years close the disc grabbing entirely the viewers (there or at home). A classical ender for this fine production.

The bonus material dubbed as Disc 2 brings some amusing and enjoyable musical parts especially those rooted on the "Question Mark" album and where we may catch all progressive influences over Neal Morse. Non-musical and behind the scene parts in this disc are pretty funny and sometimes interesting but add few to the general content.

Not being an expert on cinematography, I may tell that camera positioning (both discs) and movie cuts are impressive and well-crafted putting the hearer/viewer inside the action most of the times. I also heard this DVD as plain CD and while the recording is of the finest extraction it's clear that with a few exceptions the musical stuff is pretty average but the inclusion of images and movement donated a plus that makes this DVD an excellent addition to any progressive collection.

Atkingani



.... Henk Doest, Wilco van Esschoten, Jessica Koomen ... typical Dutch names to be found on the back cover of the new Neal Morse DVD because on his European tour Neal Morse has invited a lot of Dutch musicians. Talking about Dutch musicians, I have a small story for you. A few years ago I worked for the Dutch progrock magazine iO Pages, on our annual 'reviewers meeting' the chief-editor had arranged that one of the reviewer was going to give a 'drum clinic'. Well, he did and we were all very impressed, afterwards I had a talk with him and it turned out that we shared a huge appreciation for Neil Peart. Looking at the back cover I noticed the aforementioned typical Dutch names and ... the name of Collin Leijenaar, the iO Pages reviewer/drummer who gave that clinic: the one moment he wrote about Spock's Beard, the other moment he's the drummer of Neal Morse his band! And Collin is not only the drummer, he's also the driving force behind the Neal Morse band, wat an outstanding blend of skills and power, especially during the heavy symphonic rock and progmetal parts, very exciting.

On DVD-1 we can enjoy Neal his catchy enthousiasm, his funny stage antics and his great, very varied musical skills on several instruments: in the long and excellent composition The Creation (featuring wonderful choir-Mellotron) he easily switches from fat synthesizers runs on his keyboard to heavy guitar work on his electric guitar, showing a big smile, I love that 'playful musical megalomania '. I was also pleased with Neal his short vocal performance of the Seventies Top 10 hit Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks (it was my favorite ballad too) during the Spock's Beard tribute entitled The Good Don't Last/Open Wide The Flood Gates. The track The Door delivers heavy interplay with lots of scale-acrobatics, genuine progmetal with lush Hammond organ, not bad at all to use an understatement. Guitarplayer Paul Bielatowicz showcases his huge talents in this and the next song The Conflict/The Conclusion with hints from Steve Vai but he also plays warm blues with a bottleneck or more spacey with an E-bow, what a killer guitarplayer! In the long tracks Question Mark Medley and Testimedley again the band delivers excellent interplay and very exciting solos on guitar and keyboard (like a flashy solo on the synthesizer by Neal himself). The concert is concluded with the two ballad-like songs We All Need Some Light (in which Neal is grateful to the fans because "you show more understanding why I play for 3 hours than my wife ..") and the pleasant final one Wind At My Back.

DVD-2 contains a lot of 'bonus footage' like 'behind the scenes', an acoustic version of Bridge Across Forever and 9 bonustracks of the Question Mark tour, really interesting to watch.

In my opinion Neal Morse has succeeded to reach a wide audience with his tasteful and dynamic blend of ballads, symphonic rock and prog metal and how nice to notice so many Dutch musicans on stage. Highly recommended!

Sigh. Another worthwhile Riot (V) release, another one with zero reviews so far on the Archives. What does this legendary band have to do to finally get the recognition they deserve? Their nearly flawless discography certainly cannot be the reason they continue to be overlooked by large parts of the metal community. Even their less stellar albums, such as Through the Storm or Army of One, are still pretty solid and their best material is good enough to rival that of metal’s biggest names. In a better world, Riot would be mentioned in the same breath as legendary acts like Priest or Maiden. Well, maybe not Maiden, but when comparing Riot’s output to that of most of the metal greats, it can definitely hold its own.

It is, however, nice to see that Riot are finally backed by a big enough record company that would provide the resources to make a release like Live in Japan 2018 even possible. After all, it’s been high time the band finally got to put out their first official, full-fledged double live album. Of course there’s some older, more obscure stuff such as Riot Live (1989), Riot in Japan – Live!! (1992) or Shine On (1998), but Live in Japan considerably ups the ante, featuring roughly 112 minutes of music on two discs, a concert film of the entire set on Blu-ray and a decent booklet with photos and liner notes.

As always, evaluating the quality of a live release comes down to three main factors: (a) the set list or songs featured, (b) the band’s on-stage performance and (c) the sound or production values. Live in Japan is a winner in all three categories.

As to the sound quality, it’s a lot better than your average bootleg yet still raw enough to give it that authentic live feel. You can tell there wasn’t a lot of subsequent overdubbing being done in the studio, so this clearly isn’t one of those “Unleashed in the Studio” affairs. (Priest’s Unleashed in the East is of course an undisputed live classic, it just isn’t as much of a true live recording as the name suggests.) That being said, Live in Japan has easily enough oomph to seriously annoy the neighbors, so there really isn’t much to complain.

The band’s performance is excellent and very energetic. You can tell the guys are having a splendid time playing in front of some of their most dedicated fans, as Riot have always been very popular in the land of the rising sun. The absolute star of the show is singer Todd Michael Hall, who pulls out all the stops and delivers Riot’s demanding material almost flawlessly. His voice is soaring to amazing heights as he nails even the most difficult passages, of which there are plenty, especially during the Thundersteel part of the set. Riot have had a couple of different vocalists over the course of their long career and all of them were fantastic in their own right, but Hall may well be the best of them all. At the very least he’s right up there with the amazing Tony Moore, who graced the band’s groundbreaking Thundersteel album.

Another reason why Live in Japan is a great success is that it comprises an entire live set recorded in one single location. The song selection is brilliant, with disc one dedicated chiefly to the band’s more recent output. There’s a lot of stuff taken from their latest studio full-lengths, Unleash the Fire and Armor of Light, with the band’s heartfelt ode to their loyal Japanese fans, “Land of the Rising Sun,” as an inevitable inclusion. Moreover, there are great live versions of two tracks taken from The Privilege of Power, namely “On Your Knees” and “Metal Soldiers.” The former sounds noticeably different from the studio version as that one was among the Privilege of Power cuts to feature a horn section, which is omitted on the live version.

Since the band’s 2018 tour commemorated the 30-year anniversary of the release of Thundersteel (1988), disc two features a live rendition of the entire (!) Thundersteel record, as well as a few classic encores: the high-octane “Road Racin',” “Swords and Tequila” and “Warrior,” which traditionally concludes Riot’s live sets. It really is a treat to hear live versions of Thundersteel tracks that have seldom or maybe never been played in concert before, such as the scorching “Run for Your Life,” the epic “Buried Alive (Tell Tale Heart)” or power ballad extraordinaire “Bloodstreets.” Now, with a catalog as voluminous as Riot’s, there are bound to be some regrettable omissions. For instance, it would have been nice to hear a song from the Rhett Forrester period (“Born in America,” perhaps?) and maybe a couple more tunes from the Mike DiMeo period, even if the speedy “Angel Eyes” made it onto the album. And where in blazes is “Heart of a Lion,” perhaps the best track on Armor of Light? Alas, you simply cannot have it all.

On a side note, it’s pretty neat there are no drum or guitar solos and interaction with the audience is reduced to a minimum; other than Hall briefly announcing the ensuing track and politely saying “dōmo arigatō” after the track is finished, Riot let the music do the talking. They also refrain from interrupting any of the songs to exchange a few “whoa-oh-ohs” with the audience, which might be fun for concert goers but is always rather annoying when listening to a live record. No complaints there.

Live in Japan 2018 is the definitive Riot live album and a must-have for any Riot fan. On top of that, it would also be a great opportunity and starting point for the uninitiated to finally discover one of the very best power/speed/heavy metal bands of all time.

..::OPIS::..

Whether or not this late-night Prom would have taken place had it not been for the untimely death of David Bowie seven months ago, the opportunity to reposition arguably Britain’s greatest post-war songwriter as an icon of ‘contemporary classical’ music was too good to pass over.

Featuring a notable line-up of singers plus an international roster of arrangers, this project was curated by André de Ridder – his highly versatile s t a r g a z e ensemble providing musical continuity across a range of not necessarily familiar songs from the Bowie songbook.

With its array of strings, winds and tuned percussion, s t a r g a z e made for an admirable backing band for all that many of the arrangements fell into that post-minimalist lingua franca that has straitjacketed mainstream classical composing this past quarter-century. How else to explain the lethargy of ‘Warszawa’ which launched the evening, and while Neil Hannon had the Bowie idiom off to a tee, his lacklustre rendering of ‘Station to Station’ hardly galvanised proceedings any more then Conor O’Brien’s reverential take on ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ (a cameo from Lulu was sorely needed).

Hannon’s poised world-weariness in ‘This Is Not America’ (a jewel buried in the soundtrack to a mediocre 1980s’ film) marginally upped the ante – despite the dutiful rapping of Elf Kid – while Marc Almond emoted enthusiastically in ‘Life On Mars’, but it was Anna Calvi who injected much needed dynamism with her darkly ominous take on ‘Lady Grinning Soul’. Paul Buchanan made his first appearance with a wistful run-through of ‘Ashes To Ashes’, while Laura Mvula caught the aggression but not always the irony of ‘Fame’.

The latter two singers then kicked off a trilogy from Bowie’s swansong Blackstar, ‘Girl Loves Me’ as responsive to their confiding interplay as ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away’ to Buchanan’s soulful rendering – though Calvi and the currently much-vaunted Amanda Palmer were rather outfaced by a seismic organ contribution in the epic title track. Palmer’s take on ‘Heroes’ was little more than stylish karaoke, whereas Philippe Jaroussky brought an ethereal eloquence to ‘Always Crashing In The Same Car’ as jarred inevitably with Almond’s take on ‘Starman’ – for all that the latter’s unbounded enthusiasm audibly won over the audience.

It remained for a fetchingly attired John Cale to provide the evening’s highpoint – first with his smouldering ‘Valentine’s Day’, then alongside Calvi for a surging rendition of ‘Sorrow’ (a Bowie ‘Pin-Ups’ cover of the 1960s’ band The Merseys), and finally in tandem with the House Gospel Choir for a surprisingly though persuasively elegiac take on ‘Space Oddity’. After which, a rendering of ‘After All’ featuring most of those present sounded an unwitting note of post-Brexit gloom.

Opinions as to the success of this venture will doubtless centre on whether the Bowie canon should be reappraised in this fashion. If the response is yes, then the evening represented a thought-provoking yet only partially successful step along a lengthy and unpredictable road. Not that André de Ridder or s t a r g a z e could be found wanting for their commitment, which was no less evident in an incisive arrangement of ‘Let’s Dance’ to send people home in suitably upbeat mood. Wherever he may be, the man himself would surely have grinned his approval.
