Twin - Star Wars Theme (The Force) - 07-Oct-09 03:16 AM
It's absolutely ridiculous that hardly anybody seems to know about the true artist of this song, because it entered the internet's filesharing platforms as an Aphex Twin hoax ("twin", get it?).
The tune itself is a cool and phat progressive house beat with hilarious samples from the Star Wars saga. I can't imagine George Lucas would have allowed the Swedish trio to use them, let alone the original theme melody. Lucas sued Mike Paradinas for Tusken Raiders, so why should he be happy about TWIN? Obviously, like anybody else, he doesn't know who really did the song. Aphex Twin didn't. The Twin did it.
KMFDM - Beat By Beat By Beat - 22-Apr-09 04:32 AM
The definitive KMFDM DVD - if you like them the old way, then get your hands on this gem! All the cool videos (official + promotional) and absolutely great live performances with impressive audio/visual quality. Hearing all the old classics live means more guitars, more live drums, more power! KMFDM were always cool enough not to resort to their hits but also to play some kickass b-sides (like the great "Split"). Schulz, Watts and Durante are shredding like hell.
KMFDM and their label also did a nice little stunt. Remember the infringing small sample on "Liebeslied"? They had to pull NAIVE from the stores in 1993 because of that and as of today KMFDM is still not allowed to use it (not even in the re-release). BUT... the DVD features the '$$ Tour', where they play a pounding version of that song, including the sample... not censored for the DVD :)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - 07-Jan-09 09:13 AM
Big thumbs up for the music - still classic. Massive thumbs down for this "remastered" cheap-shot reissue. This could have been the chance to present this ambient classic in a dignified packaging, maybe with some liner notes from the man, trivia, comments from other people (like with GC's 76:14) and other fancy stuff. Instead they just went for the super jewelbox, a single booklet insert and badly reproduced artwork. And most important of all: I can't hear anything remotely remastered stuff on here. So maybe someone just lost a mastercopy in the archives... I don't know. Who wants SAW being remastered after all? It's perfect as it is, period.
Marilyn Manson - White Trash Volume Three: Mr. Manson's Home Demos - 06-Jan-08 05:07 PM
This bootleg itself has been bootlegged various times and was also released as "Mr. Manson's Home Demos". As in most cases of Marilyn Manson bootlegs it contains an awful lot of errors (most of the songs have the wrong title). The songs are taken from the very early demos of Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids (ie. "The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat", 1990).
Would be interesting for die-hard Manson fans, but due to the errors and the shitty production this bootleg isn't worth the material it is made of.
Marilyn Manson - Lest We Forget - The Best Of - 04-Jan-08 04:26 AM
This is the most comprehensive "Lest We Forget", featuring more songs than any other version of this release, making it a gem in every fan's personal collection.
Still, two blemishes are to be noticed: As mentioned in the release notes, the (s)AINT video has been edited (also Manson's dick has been blurred out in the jerk-off scenes, in case you wanted to see it). As in all other versions also here the video for "Tainted Love" is missing, which I believe is due to legal issues.
Of course, the choice of Manson's Best can always be discussed from gazillion perspectives, but when it comes to a beautiful wrapped collection of his audio-visual art, "Lest We Forget" is definitely a must-buy.
