Un tema original de Leonard Cohen, que amb l´interpretació del gran Jeff Buckley adquireix un aire grandiloqüent…gairabé de redempció. Una veritable catarsi emocional…

Una benvinguda a la tardor…temps de canvi

Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who’d OUT DREW YA
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Un tema que s´ha convertit en un dels meus preferits dels últims anys…POISON DART

Bon estiu a tothom!

A principis dels anys 90 fou l´època daurada de les Free Parties i Raves a Anglaterra. Col.lectius autogestionats com Spiral Tribe , Bedlam o Circus Warp congregaven a milers de joves britànics arreu del país. La concentració de Castlemorton al 1992  ( entre Anglaterra i Gal.les ) congregant més de 30.000 persones al llarg de 5 dies, va fer que el govern conservador de John Major decidís actuar enviant l´exèrcit i detenint els organitzadors de l´event. Poc desprès al 1994 el govern va aprovar la Criminal Justice Bill, legislant i prohibint aquest tipus de festes que escapaven al seu control. A partir d´aquí Spiral Tribe inicia la diàspora d´aquesta forma de vida-nòmades del techno o travellers- exiliant-se a París i escampant el seu so i les free partys arreu d´Europa. Castlemorton 1992, o el que és el mateix, la fi d´una època daurada per les free partys a Anglaterra…El començament al vell Continent.

Aquest video és l´únic testimoni audiovisual que existeix de Castlemorton

Per als no iniciats d´aquest fascinant estil urbà sorgit a Cryodon, en el deprimit sud de Londres l´any 2000, fruit de les continues mutacions de la diàspora d´estils  del so rave anglès.

Ja fa més de 5 anys que vaig tornar d´Irlanda i em provoca una sensació de melancolia juntament amb el pas inexorable del temps…

My Bloody Valentine, el grup irlandès, que al 1991 va treure el seu atemporal Loveless, em fa recordar aquells dies de pluja, verdor i…

Sleep
Like a pillow(where)
She wont care
Anyway (where)

Soft
As a pillow
Touch her there
Where she wont dare
Somewhere

Sleep
Like a (royal)
(subject)

Think
That you grew
Stronger there

Speak

Shes not sc(ared)
Soft like theres silk
Everywhere

Sleep
(is a) pillow
Come

Where she wont dare
Anyway (where)

(look)
In the mirror
Shes not there
Where she wont care
Somewhere

…Jo somiava que estava amb tú sentint la teva calor, el teu resguard. Tan de bo poguèssim tornar enrera i rectificar…quan tu dormies al costat jo era feliç.

When I look at you
Oh, I dont know whats (true)
Once in a while
And you make me laugh

And Ill see (you) tomorrow
And it wont be long
Once in a while
Then you take me down
Then you walk (away)

When you say i do
Oh, I dont (believe) you
I cant forget it

Mapi sempre hi seràs en un tros del meu cor…

Interessant proposta de Todd Osborn aka Soundmurderer ( l´ acrònim que feia servir per les seves barrabassades de Jungle i Ragga Jungle). L´artista reinterpreta sota la seva particular visió  diversos estils, disfrassats amb un vernís molt en la ona de la dècada dels 80, com el House de Chicago de vella escola, Hip House, Electro i algunes línes àcides de la 303. Un disc notable.

Here are facts I learned about producer Todd Osborn: he owns an electron microscope, flies planes, speaks Japanese and is currently finishing building a hovercraft. These sorts of playboy exploits might lead you to believe his techno exploits as Osborne are just another notch on the bedpost for this fellow, but this record serves as ample proof that he’s no dabbler. ‘Detune’ sports a synth melody that at times comes close to sounding like Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’, but mostly just floats along on a cloud of blissful ’80s hedonism. Right down to the sleeve art this album displays a willingness to embrace the synth culture of twenty years ago, and the electric pianos and coarsely chopped vocals on ‘Outta Sight’ make no attempts to dismiss that. The TNT contribution (‘L8′) fires up the 303 for some great vintage acid, and then there’s the comical running commentary on the mechanics of sequencing provided by ‘Our Definition Of A Breakdown (feat. Ed DMX)’, in which Todd helpfully talks you through the various sounds that show up in his production. Lots of fun, as you’d imagine, but beyond the silliness and nods towards kitsch appeal, there’s a highly distinctive approach to old-school house and techno production that keeps the album ticking over. Ace. (extret de boomkat).
