ONE ALBUM WONDERS?

A few bands & artists over the years have had just one album that has done really well. However, there was never a follow up album. Here are a few: 'Grace'- JEFF BUCKLEY (I remember when I first heard this album & played it on repeat at times. It's a beautiful album. Tragically BUCKLEY died in 1997 after an accidental drowning. It was such a shame because he was a very talented musician) 'Since I left You'- THE AVALANCHES (This was released in 2000. The album contained around 3,500 vinyl samples. 2 of the most popular songs were: 'Frontier Psychartrist' & 'Since I left you') 'The La's'- THE LA'S (The most famous song on the album was 'There she goes' in 1988. John Power leaves as the bass player & forms the band CAST) 'The Lexicon of Love'- ABC (This album was released in 1982. The 2 most famous songs: 'Look of Love (Part 1) & 'Poison Arrow'. Produced by Trevor Horn) ...

ROLAND BOUTIQUE?

Yes Roland are back with some new products, called Roland Boutique. Looks like more of their classic synths making a comeback in a contemporary version. JP-08 (Jupiter 8) JU-06 (Juno 106) JX-03 (JX-3P)   They come with a 16 step sequencer & the ability to chain them together. Yes I would try them. However, is'nt it time we had something completely new from Roland? I mean synth wise. A few years ago Roland bought out Jupiter 80 etc. That was a kinda remake of the Jupiter 8. I did enjoy playing the Jupiter 80. Probably more suited to live performance. Maybe next year Roland bring out a brand new synth that is not a remake.   Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services)     Posted with Blogsy

MORE THAN JUST A VINYL RECORD?

Now vinyl has made a comeback Jack White has decided to maybe take things one step further. (I did a blogpost some time ago about Jack White releasing a record that displayed a hologram when you played it). Well, Jack has not stopped there. For some of the releases from his label 'Third Man Records' he has pushed the boundaries with what can be done with vinyl. Here are a few examples: 'Vicious'- KAREN ELSON (Clear Vinyl with peach coloured rose petals inside) 'The Ghost Who Walks'- KAREN ELSON (The vinyl was peach coloured & also had the scent of peach) 'Sixteen Saltines'- JACK WHITE (Liquid vinyl. Hmmmmmmm! Not the best idea as fans found liquid spilling out onto their turntable). 'My House Of Peace'- RACHELLE GARNIEZ- (Glow in the Dark Vinyl. I do like this idea) 'The Great Gatsby'- OST (metalised platinum & gold vinyl) These could be collectors items in the future, which to me makes them more interesting.   Unt...
