Emo Rockers LINKIN PARK Share Previously Unreleased Track Featuring Their Late Vocalist Chester Bennington

Posted on by JL

15 February 2023

Famous Californian rockers LINKIN PARK will not come back as
a band following lead singer Chester Bennington‘s suicide in 2017.

Mike Shinoda: “The only Linkin Park news I have for you is that… Yeah, we talk
every few weeks — I talk to the guys, or some of the guys. And there’s no tours, there’s
no music, there’s no albums in the pipeline. Okay, so let me just tell you that. So just
keep in your minds that that is not happening.”

Instead they revisit older material. In 2020, they re-released debut LP Hybrid Theory featuring unreleased songs. And last year they made their fans happy with a deluxe version of Minutes To Midnight , from 2007.

And they’re not done yet.

A special 20th-anniversary edition of Meteroa waits in the pipeline to be unleashed.
It features a previously unreleased song, named LOST featuring Bennington’s vocals.

Listen/watch.

DAVID BOWIE – 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Of ‘ALLADIN SANE’ In April

Posted on by JL

5 February 2023

DAVID BOWIE’s 1973 LP ALLADIN SANE, his 6th,
celebrates its 50th birthday on 20 April 1973.

For this special occasion the masterwork (Top-10 Bowie album in Turn Up The Volume‘s Bowie book will be re-released with a vinyl picture disc and a half-speed mastered black vinyl edition on 14 April. Pre-order details here.

This new pressing of Aladdin Sane was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with “fully recapped electronics” from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. Both vinyl editions are cut from the same master, which means the picture disc is actually half-speed mastered too, although although the half-speed black vinyl is going to sound better than the picture disc.

DELUXE VIAGRA BOYS

Posted on by JL

15 January 2023

Last year Swedish post-punk mavericks VIAGRA BOYS
scored big time with their third full length CAVE WORLD.

As is totally normal in recent marketing years, deluxe editions come
some months after the original releases to boost sales of both. Also
normal is that most deluxes aren’t worth the money as the added music
varies from mediocre to bad, to totally worthless (I don’t own any). If it
was ace music it would have been on the LP’s first release, right?

But as we know, the moment you say normal something abnormal pops up.
Like here. The new expanded Cave World issue features 4 splendid new tracks,
I repeat: 4 splendid new tracks. Here they come.

– IT AIN’T ENOUGH –
Viagra schizophrenia.

.
– STRETCH MY ARMS –
A moony ballad. Come again.
A moony ballad.

.
– MILK FARM –
The boys as we know them.

.
– ONLY FRIEND –
Another moony ballad. Come again.
Another moony ballad.

FULL DELUXE
