Starr Ringo: Look up 2025 [CD]

Starr Ringo: Look up [Gatefold / Vinyl LP]

Renowned around the world as one of the greatest and most distinctive heavy metal vocalists of all time, Bruce Dickinson will be releasing a brand new solo album on 1st March 2024 on BMG Records. <br/>Entitled The Mandrake Project it sees him reunited with long-time musical collaborator and producer Roy Z. The Mandrake Project will be Dickinson's seventh solo album and his first since Tyranny Of Souls in 2005. <br/>The Mandrake Project is a dark, adult story of power, abuse and a struggle for identity, set against a backdrop of scientific and occult genius.

Each track on the album is a freshly created version of songs featured on either the 50th-anniversary super deluxe editions of Vagabonds Of The Western World, considered Thin Lizzy's breakthrough. The new album also includes acoustic renditions of songs from their self-titled debut and Shades of a Blue Orphanage. For the first time, "Whiskey In The Jar," Thin Lizzy's first UK Top 10 hit, is presented in an acoustic format-an entirely new way to experience this enduring favourite.<br/> <br/>Drummer Brian Downey, the only member to have played in every iteration of the band alongside Lynott, co-wrote the original version of "Slow Blues." His powerful, orchestral drumming created a distinctive bridge in a song that fused gritty blues with subtle jazz influences.<br/> <br/>The origins of "Whiskey In The Jar" date back to the 1700s, but it found new life when Phil Lynott began playfully strumming the traditional Irish tune during a rehearsal. Their manager at the time urged them to record it, despite the band's hesitations. Released in 1972, the song soared to number 6 on the UK charts. Though its success was undeniable, Thin Lizzy initially distanced themselves from the track, leaving it off their upcoming album. Since then, the song-echoing the Lizzy arrangement-has been covered by notable acts such as U2, Metallica, and The Pogues, among many others.

Faithfull Marianne: Broken English 1979 [CD]

I den stjärntäta rollistan återfinns bland andra skådespelarna Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, Helena Bonham Carter och Sascha Baron Cohen. Filmen är regisserad av Oscarsvinnaren Tom Hooper (King's Speech).<br/><br/>Hoopers spektakulära tolkning av Victor Hugos episka berättelse bryter ny mark genom att låta skådespelarna sjunga live under inspelningen, istället som annars då skådespelarna sjunger till uppspelning. Detta är första gången en sådan teknik används i en stor långfilm vilket enligt regissören tillför "en djupgående styrka och realism till berättelsen".<br/><br/>Les Misérables berättar en historia om krossade drömmar, olycklig kärlek och passion i 1800-talets Frankrike. Jackman spelar ex-fången Jean Valjean som jagats i årtionden av den hänsynslösa polismannen Javert (Crowe) efter att han brutit sin villkorliga frigivning. När Valjean går med på att ta hand om fabriksarbetaren Fantines (Hathaway) unga dotter Cosette förändras deras liv för alltid.
