When Is The Baby Use The Bathroom




lovers (like me) Sigur Ros are announced three dates in Italy: July 11, the Boboli Gardens (Florence), Saturday 12 to Cavea Auditorium Rome and the Arena Civica in Milan on Sunday 13.
After two years of their last Italian concert Sigur Ros announce three special concerts in places full of charm and history, the Arena Civica in Milan (in the second edition of the Milano Jazzin Festival, sponsored by the Recreation of the City of Milan, Giovanni Terzi) The Boboli Gardens in Florence (under FIRENZESTATE 2008) and Cavea the Auditorium of Rome (for review July Sounds Good, 2008): ideal situations to accommodate the evocative music of Icelandic band.
's latest album Takk study published in 2005, was the most successful album of the Icelandic quartet with a brilliant entry into the Italian charts in third place, also obtained by exposure of the individual Hoppipolla. Concluded world tour (which saw them play once more in Italy than in front of 14,000 spectators in total) Sigur Ros have embarked on a series of free concerts in Iceland in unusual places, including remote villages, abandoned factories, small communities, national parks, wild landscapes and a concert grade most of their careers (and in the history of Iceland) in Reykjavik. The tour was documented by director Dean de Blois (Oscar nomination for Lilo and Stitch) in the film Heima (at home) that shows the group in a new dimension and their country in all its barren spell. The film was shown at the Film Festival in Rome in October 2007.
To accompany the film disc Hvarf-Heim che, inizialmente pensato come colonna sonora, è diventato un progetto parallelo nel quale i Sigur Ros recuperano alcune rarità del loro repertorio elettrico e interpretano in acustico alcune delle loro canzoni.
La band è attualmente al lavoro sul nuovo album col produttore Flood (Smashing Pumpkins, Pj Harvey , Depeche Mode, U2, Nine Inch Nails ); l'uscita del disco è prevista per l'estate.

Gave Our Wedding Gift To Charity

Basinski


Texas, backed by two decades of experimentation in the field of para-classical jazz, William Basinski is the man who elevated the art loop for the passage of two centuries, becoming a point of reference in 'immense panorama of more experimental ambient music.

El Camino Real , is the album that I listen to relaxation. I know just Basinski and then I started to hear the latest thing he has done. Makes me dream and I travel with thought.
It 's a loop discovered in some kind of drawer. The disc is composed of a single composition 50 minutes. A phrase played by the usual unrecognizable ghost orchestra (piano? Arches?
a female voice?) Is repeated seemingly endlessly without a break, going to dig among the most sensitive synapses of our brains. Music that feeds on micro movements and exudes a magnetism that worthy of the works of Arvo Part. Perhaps unwittingly, but with amazing results, Basinski has rewritten the dictionary in the years of ambient music.

Medical Investigation Slash

London ... Spiritualized


the past we've made a break from the daily routine e. .. via London.
London is a city I really love, I like for its multi-ethnicity, for his composure on the one hand and the other for its extravagance. It 's a bit changed from how I had seen years ago, but perhaps I've also seen with different eyes.

doing a nice walk around Notting Hill as my friends we came across in the music shops of trendy and full of vinyl. Beautiful. Prices are also much more competitive in spite of our pound.
Cosa ho comprato? beh, ho preso un solo CD/DVD dei Sigur Ròs. Avendo tutta la collection e avendo appena ricevuto un regalo da mia sorella sempre attinente ai Sigur Ros (il film DVD Heima che mi ricorda molto del mio viaggio in Islanda), dovevo completare la mia collection :-)

Sempre fantastici...
