Een update over de eerder genoemde hernieuwde samenwerking tussen Bernard Butler en Brett Anderson (afkomstig van de site van NME):

BRETT ANDERSON has spoken about working with ex-SUEDE guitarist BERNARD BUTLER.

Following the band’s split, Anderson and Butler, who walked out of the group in 1994, reunited to start work on a new album. In a statement to fans, Anderson explained the progress so far.

He said: "Me and Bernard are back in a London studio putting the finishing touches on what is shaping up to be a truly special record. Usually by this point in making any album I go through a period of doubt about its quality but this time the songs are just getting better.

"My drive, direction and focus, which became clouded towards the end of my work with Suede, are all back with a vengeance and both me and Bernard are excited about being back in the game."

The album will be finished next month, with a release scheduled for the start of next year. The duo’s first live appearance with their new band will take place in December.

In addition, Anderson is also working on a solo album, described as "dark and melancholic".

Euh... kan dit hier? Nieuwe nummer van Moby, samen met Public Enemy hier te beluisteren. Ik vind m wel vet.

Oei, daar durf ik niet op te klikken.

Het nieuwe album van U2, dat in November uitkomt, zal "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" gaan heten en dus niet Vertigo zoals de geruchten eerder waren.

Nieuws over een nieuw album van the flaming lips (bron: NME);

The Flaming lips have almost finished work on their new album, and have told fans to expect a more "organic" sound.

The album, recorded at producer Dave Fridmann's Tarbox Studios, will be the group’s first since 2002’s ‘Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots’.

Going by the working title of ‘At War With The Mystics’, the album has been scheduled for release mid-2005.

"We've moved away from robot sounds to sounds that are made by robots that come off organic," frontman Wayne Coyne explained to Blender magazine.

"It's getting into a space-age jazz element, a sort of progressive Dixieland, hopefully not too far out of the realm of what's listenable." He said he hopes the new record will keep the Lips "element of psychiatric injury".

Tracks expected to appear on the album are 'Space Bible' and 'Mr Ambulance Driver'.

16 November de nieuwe Rufus Wainwright. Opvolger van het tweeluik "Want" (Want, two dus).

Burt Bacharach (76) en Dr. Dre werken aan album

Liedjesschrijver Burt Bacharach (76), bekend van klassieke popliedjes als "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" (1969) en "Walk On By" (1971) werkt samen met rapper en hiphopproducer Dr. Dre aan een vooralsnog titelloos album. ´Het is een uitdagend, bevrijdend gevoel om een bestaand format - zoals deze rigide viermaats loops - te gebruiken en te zien wat je erbovenop kunt schrijven´, legde Bacharach zijn collaboratie met Dre uit aan The Denver Post. Het album wordt komende herfst verwacht.

Op 24 januari 2005 komt the secret migration, het nieuwe album van Mercury rev, uit.

Ah, dat betekent vast ook dat ze ons land weer 's aan doen.

Nog wat nieuws over de reunie van Brett Anderson en Bernard Butler:

Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler have named their new band The Tears and say the sessions have been as exciting as when they recorded the first Suede album.

Last week NME.COM were invited by the duo to a London studio where they’re mixing the final songs for The Tears’ as-yet-untitled debut album, which is due for release in the spring.

In their first interview together in a decade, Anderson and Butler told NME.COM that being back together had been "incredibly inspiring" - despite the fact that they had to patch up their relationship.

Anderson said: "It seemed like the time was right. I didn’t finish with Suede in order to give Bernard a call. It had to happen naturally, the band had to come to its natural termination. I felt that I’d written my best songs with Bernard."

Bernard added: "There’s only one purpose of doing (the new album), and that’s to make a great record. There’s no social ambitions, we don’t go bowling together!"

Brett continued: "The first thing we said when we got together was that we won’t release a note of music unless the album’s spectacular. That’s the most important thing about it. We could have written for three years and if the songs hadn’t been any good we wouldn’t have bothered getting to this stage with it.

"There’s a lot of people out there who are worried about us getting back together and tarnishing what we’ve done before. Then there’s that whole issue of ‘When they get back together are they going to live up to what they’ve done in the past?’ We don’t want that to be an issue so it has to be spectacular."

Van de site van NME:

Moby will release his fifth studio album ’Hotel’ next year. Moby will precede his latest LP, out March 14, with a brand new single on February 28.

The 14-track ’Hotel’ will feature Moby’s vocals on ten tracks and two duets and will sit alongside two instrumentals. This will be the first of his albums not to feature vocal samples.

Op 21 februari komt Tori Amos met haar nieuwe cd The Beekeeper.

Tori Amos Readies New Album The Beekeeper

Acclaimed Artist to Publish First Book Entitled Tori Amos: Piece by Piece

NEW YORK, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- It has been over two years since musical force Tori Amos has brought new music to her ever-growing foundation of dedicated fans. On February 22nd Tori Amos will unveil two exciting projects- a new CD entitled The Beekeeper and her first book Tori Amos: Piece by Piece, co-written with journalist Ann Powers.

Currently, Tori is putting the finishing touches on The Beekeeper, which she's recording and self-producing in her UK studio Martian Engineering. On songs like "Sweet the Sting," "Sleeps with Butterflies," and "Ribbons Undone," Tori incorporates vintage organs, Afro-Cuban drums and Gospel choirs, working once again with longtime partners, drummer Matt Chamberlain and bassist Jon Evans.

Tori Amos explains, "The Beekeeper is musically inspired by the fact that the piano has realized that she has an organ. With my right hand on her organ and my left hand on her piano keys, I have been changed by the relationship between these two beautiful creatures, the Bosendorfer piano and the B3 Hammond organ."

In the book Tori Amos: Piece by Piece co-penned with writer Ann Powers, the usually private Tori gives a rare inside look into many intimacies of her life as both a private individual and a very public performing musician. The book, published by Broadway Books (a division of Random House), will be released on February 8th. On Thursday, February 24, Tori and Ann will make a special appearance at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

Tori Amos, whose career skyrocketed with the release of the 1992 multi- platinum breakthrough Little Earthquakes, has led the charge in rejuvenating the era of the female singer songwriter. With worldwide record sales topping 12 million and multiple Grammy nominations, Tori continues to be one of the most intriguing and respected artists of our time.

Van de studio Brussel site:

Groot nieuws uit de wereld van de dansmuziek, want Daft Punk heeft bekendgemaakt dat ze een nieuwe plaat gaan uitbrengen! Meer nog, die plaat is al zo goed als af, en heeft ook al een titel: ‘Human after all’. En het kan niet op, want Thomas Bangalter en Guy Manuel de Homem Christo, de twee die achter Daft Punk schuilgaan, hebben ook al de releasedatum bekendgemaakt, en da’s 21 maart geworden (over exact drie maanden dus). Ze vertellen er verder nog bij dat de opnames plaatsvonden tussen september en november, bij hen thuis in Parijs, en dat ze daar in totaal tien nummers aan overgehouden hebben. Een tracklist vind je hieronder, en volgens onze eigen Luc Janssen, die al stukken van de opnames gehoord heeft, zal de nieuwe plaat uitstekend klinken. Ze zou ook meer in de lijn liggen van ‘Homework’, de debuutplaat van Daft Punk. Dat wordt weer dansen!



Tracklist

Human After All
The Prime Time Of Your Life
Robot Rock
Steam Machine
Make Love
The Brainwasher
On / Off
Television Rules The Nation

Emotion

De nieuwe cd van Kate Bush is af!!! Het heeft zo'n 12 jaar geduurd (haar laatste cd dateert alweer uit 1993) De opnames zijn gemaakt in de Abbey Road studio's met medewerking van o.a. de inmiddels overleden componist Michael Kamen. Wanneer de nieuwe cd precies uitkomt is nog niet duidelijk, laten we hopen dat dat ook geen jaren duurt

Op 28 maart komt het nieuwe album van New order uit. Hij gaat Waiting for the sirens call heten en bevat 11 nummers. Twee weken ervoor verschijnt de single Krafty. De plaat is geproduceerd door Stephen Street en John Leckie en Phil Cunningham (uit Electronic) heeft definitief de plaats van Gillian Gilbert ingenomen. Naast de single en het titelnummer staan er liedjes op als Jetstream (met gastvocalen van Ana Matronic van Scissor sisters) en Working overtime.

Ben benieuwd!

Ook in aantocht: De nieuwe cd van Idlewild. Hij gaat Warnings/Promises heten. Uit op 7 maart. Daarvoor, 21 februari, de nieuwe single en die heet Love Steals Us From Loneliness.

In de lente ook eindelijk het derde album van JJ72. Nog geen titel of releasedatum bekend.

Er is een nieuwe cd van Yonderboi in aantocht genaamd "Splendid Isolation". Releasedatum is nog niet bekend helaas.

Op 21 maart komt Open season, het nieuwe album van British sea power uit. Twee weken daarvoor verschijnt het debuut van the kaiser chiefs, Employed geheten. Deze plaat tip ik alvast als de sensatie van 2005.

De nieuwe cd van Lou Barlow (sentridoh, sebadoh) komt uit! Emoh is de naam en veel meer informatie is te vinden op: www.loobiecore.com

(en op soulseek kun je de cd al vinden... ik heb 2 nummers gehoord nu en ik ben nu al onder de indruk. Sentridoh, alleen dan beter opgenomen )

Van de site van NME:

Beck has revealed full details of his long-awaited new LP ‘Guero’.

The follow-up to 2002's ‘Sea Change’ will be released on March 21 and will feature 13 tracks. The title means 'white boy' in Spanish.

The LP has been produced by former collaborators The Dust Brothers and marks a return to the ‘classic’, funk-based Beck sound after the acoustic leanings of its predecessor. White Stripes mainman Jack White guest stars on the record, playing bass on 'Go It Alone'.

"It's pretty aggressive," Beck told Rolling Stone. "I've been working on it for a while, but I ended up doing 'Sea Change' first. I've been wanting to do a record with loud guitars for a long time."

Eindelijk weer een feestplaat van Beck, woo-hoh!
