Long Distance Calling haben sich längst in der deutschen Postrock- und New-Artrock-Szene etabliert. Nach gut zehn Jahren im Geschäft und zuletzt zwei Alben mit Gesang kehrt das Münsteraner Instrumentalrockquartett jetzt zu seinen Ursprüngen zurück und erschafft mit dem neuen Werk „Boundless“ eines seiner stärksten Statements.
The Michael Schenker Group is now called Michael Schenker Fest. The new album "Resurrection" brings a rehearsal with the lead singers with whom the band scored in the eighties and nineties. With Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet and Robin McAuley as well as Doogie White from Temple Of Rock, the German star guitarist has gathered a whole vocal quartet around him in the studio. The fact that the many cooks have not spoiled the porridge is due to producer Michael Voss. We talked to him and Schenker about the developments at MSF.
Die Michael Schenker Group nennt sich inzwischen Michael Schenker Fest. Das neue Album „Resurrection“ bringt ein Wiederhören mit den Leadsängern, mit denen die Band in den Achtziger- und Neunzigerjahren punktete. Mit Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet und Robin McAuley sowie Doogie White von Temple Of Rock hat der deutsche Stargitarrist gleich ein ganzes Sangesquartett im Studio um sich geschart. Dass die vielen Köche den Brei nicht verdorben haben, ist das Verdienst von Produzent Michael Voss. Mit ihm und Schenker sprachen wir über die Entwicklungen beim MSF.
Ritchie Blackmore will be seventy-three on the fourteenth of April. He is then on tour with Rainbow: five concerts in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Berlin and Prague. The British master guitarist has regained his enjoyment of rock music. And this basic satisfaction can also be seen in the interview. Blackmore has always been attached to the image of the capricious contemporary. In the five interviews I have conducted with him since 1985, however, he was always friendly, courteous and willing to provide information.
After reporting on the Yes splinter group under the aegis of Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman in December, Steve Howe, who presides over the "official" Yes with Alan White, Geoff Downes, Billy Sherwood and Jon Davison, now has his say. The last sign of life of his band was the concert recording "Topographic Drama - Live Across America". It was released in November 2017, two months after Yes had to cancel the pending concerts of the "Yestival" tour due to the sudden death of Howe's youngest son. Since then the visionary guitarist had retired.
The history of the band Talk Talk, which is above all the history of Mark Hollis, reflects one of the most unusual developments in rock music. Started in the early eighties as a synth-pop act in the spirit of the New Romantics, the first album "The Party's Over" was still a child of its time. The following "It's My Life" was a huge success in Germany; the single "Such A Shame" climbed to second place in the charts. The songs were catchy, but at the same time strange, different.
