THE ROLLING STONES - The Return of Manure
Fifty years ago the Rolling Stones started one of the most amazing comebacks in rock history. By the end of 1967 the British had reached an artistic dead end with "Their Satanic Majesties Request", and their last big hits were a while back. Consequently, at the beginning of 1968 Jagger & Co. were regarded as a discontinued model - nonsense, as soon became apparent. In the following, we trace the process of creating "Beggars Banquet", the album with which the group regained their manginess.
ANNA VON HAUSSWOLFF - The Liberation Strike
Anna von Hausswolff is one of Scandinavia's most unconventional songwriters. Her instrument is the church organ, the sacred instrument forms the anchor between delicate and brute spheres. On her fourth album "Dead Magic" the Swede also uses her clear soprano more expressively than before. Some songs literally explode: They reflect a time when Hausswolff was faced with total exhaustion.
BETH HART & JOE BONAMASSA "Coffee's bad for your voice"
In the darn seventh year of their collaboration, "Black Coffee" is the third studio work of the unequal couple Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa. There she is, carrying her heart on her tongue and unable to give any 08/15 interviews, and there he is, the jack-of-all-trades of blues rock, who would like to be perceived as Eric Clapton of modern times. eclipsed Bonamassa said hello to Beth Hart on the sidelines of his London concert with Black Country Communion Concerts. The magazine spoke at length with Beth Hart.
LONG DISTANCE CALLING - Voiceless happy
Long Distance Calling have long since established themselves in the German postrock and new art rock scene. After a good ten years in the business and two albums with vocals, the Münster-based instrumental rock quartet now returns to its origins and creates one of its strongest statements with the new work "Boundless".
MICHAEL SCHENKER - The last remnant of the Schenker Festival
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.
RITCHIE BLACKMORE - Back in black
"Memories in Rock" is the motto of the annual mini tours of the newly formed Rainbow since 2016. Ritchie Blackmore remembers his great deeds as Purple and Rainbow guitarist/songwriter. At the beginning on the Loreley he seemed a bit rusty at times, but in the meantime the troop is again a well oiled machine, with which Blackmore invites to an exhibition of his hard rock career. Also in conversation with eclipsed, the eccentric Englishman is happy to review his rock years.
YES - The countdown has started
Yes are like a gorgeous passenger ship. The formation, founded in 1968, which helped to launch Progressive Rock and lead it through all the world's oceans, was appropriately hired again at the beginning of February for the Prog Allstar cruise "Cruise To The Edge". But captain Steve Howe is preparing further festivities for the band's big anniversary in 2018. And he wants to stay active as a solo artist.
MARK HOLLIS - The Greta Garbo of Pop
Mark Hollis is one of the greatest mysteries in pop history. The enigmatic musician released his solo debut twenty years ago after four albums as front man and chief thinker of the British art pop band Talk Talk and disappeared shortly after from public view. Apart from a few, almost unnoticed cooperations, he has never returned to the scene again. How did the myth around Mark Hollis, who, like the actress Greta Garbo once did, completely refuses to accept it, come about, and what is it about this web of legends at all? eclipsed unravels the threads.
Mat Sinner and Bernhard Wünsch invite again to ROCK MEETS CLASSIC and rely on Saga, Supertramp, Status Quo and Gotthard in XXL-Format
For the eleventh time it's "Rock meets Classic". Since 2010, bassist Mat Sinner has been the musical director and boss of the rock band, which, together with a large orchestra under the direction of Bernhard Wünsch, invites rock celebrities to celebrate their rock classics on a grand scale. This year's guest list includes Francis Rossi of Status Quo, Sagas Michael Sadler, Leo Leoni and Nic Maeder of Gotthard, Eric Bazilian of the Hooters and the Supertramp duo John Helliwell and Jesse Siebenberg. eclipsed spoke with Sinner and Sadler about the new edition.
US band CALEXICO paints the desert in unusual dark colours
In the current music landscape there are hardly any more active figures than Joey Burns and John Convertino. They started as the rhythm section of Giant Sand and the Friends Of Dean Martinez, strengthened the backs of such different musicians as Amparanoia, Barbara Manning, De Pedro, Iron & Wine or Neko Case and defined Calexico as a gentle but committed desert rock. Twenty years after their foundation, they are taking a new step.
British rockers THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT say goodbye to rock'n'roll illusions and hit on more serene tones
It's been two years since Phil Campbell sat at the Ramones Museum in Berlin and swaggered about his band's new album. In December 2017 the scenery seems to be exactly the same. Apart from the fact that the Ramones pilgrimage site has moved to another address - from the expensive centre to the more suitable party neighbourhood at Oberbaumbrücke - and that The Temperance Movement have now completed a new, third album.
...and much more!
