Stripped (Daniel Ash Album)
''Stripped'' is Daniel Ash's fifth album and his first studio album since his 2002 release, ''Daniel Ash''. The album features reworkings of songs from his previous work with bands Bauhaus, Tones on Tail and Love and Rockets, as well as one original track. Background Daniel Ash had originally intended to release an album of some of his older work stripped down acoustically, but later decided that the idea was boring. Ash taught himself how to use Logic Pro and stripped down the songs electronically, then rebuilt them with elements of EDM, including dubstep, as well as elements of reggae. In 2014 he funded the album on PledgeMusic and asked fans to select the songs to be included on the album, which was released later that year by GO! Studio. The album was also reissued in 2016 by MVD Entertainment Group and Main Man Records.

Dubstep
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London in the early 2000s. The style emerged as a UK garage offshoot that blended 2-step rhythms and sparse dub production, as well as incorporating elements of broken beat, grime, and drum and bass.Reynolds, S.(2012),''Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture,'' Perseus Books; Reprint edition (5 January 2012), pages 511–516, (). In the United Kingdom, the origins of the genre can be traced back to the growth of the Jamaican sound system party scene in the early 1980s. Dubstep is generally characterised by the use of syncopated rhythmic patterns, with prominent basslines, and a dark tone. In 2001, this underground sound and other strains of garage music began to be showcased and promoted at London's night club Plastic People, at the "Forward" night (sometimes stylised as FWD>>), and on the pirate radio station Rinse FM, which went on to be considerably influential to t ...

Earth, Sun, Moon
''Earth, Sun, Moon'' is the third studio album by English alternative rock band Love and Rockets, released in 1987 on Beggars Banquet. The album was remastered, but not expanded (unlike their previous albums), in 2001. Most of the tracks that would have appeared on an expanded edition were included on disc 5 of their 2013 CD box set ''5 Albums''. Background While the album continued in a psychedelic vein, the band also experimented with a folk-based indie rock sound. Vestiges of a gothic rock sound remained, but the band continued to sound less like their previous group, Bauhaus. ''Earth, Sun, Moon'' featured Love and Rockets' first hit, "No New Tale to Tell". The song reached number 18 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. A flurry of recording activity bridges ''Earth, Sun, Moon'' to the self-titled album that followed just over a year later. The punched-up 1988 single version of "Mirror People", released as a follow-up to "No New Tale to Tell", can be foun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burning From The Inside
''Burning from the Inside'' is the fourth studio album by English gothic rock band Bauhaus (band), Bauhaus, released on 15 July 1983 by record label Beggars Banquet Records, Beggars Banquet. It peaked at No. 13 on the UK Albums Chart. The single, She's in Parties, "She's In Parties", which spawned from the album, reached No. 26 in the UK Singles Chart. Recording and production During the recording of the album, singer Peter Murphy (musician), Peter Murphy was ill, leaving the rest of the band to undertake much of the writing and recording process without him. As evidence of how much input the rest of the band had on the album, bassist David J and guitarist Daniel Ash sang lead vocals on four of the songs. This, combined with the fact that the band started recording without Murphy, led to internal difficulties, and by the time the album was released, they had already broken up. In 2015, David J announced in a solo performance that the album's title came from an incident in whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lift (Love And Rockets Album)
''Lift'' is the seventh and final studio album by English alternative rock band Love and Rockets, released in 1998 on Red Ant Records. Background ''Lift'' overlooked the harder rock of ''Sweet F.A.'' in favor of '' Hot Trip to Heaven'''s electronic sound. The album produced three singles: the club-oriented "Resurrection Hex", which features samples of Bauhaus' "Stigmata Martyr" and "In the Night"; the pop-oriented "Holy Fool", featuring background vocals by Luscious Jackson's Jill Cunniff; and the promo-only, acronym-laden electronica trip "R.I.P. 20 C." The sound and title of "Resurrection Hex" instantly fed rumors of a much-anticipated Bauhaus reunion, which was officially announced almost immediately upon release of the record. The simultaneous bankruptcy of the Red Ant Records label — on which Peter Murphy was also an artist — and the subsequent success of the 1998–99 Bauhaus Resurrection tour led to the ultimate demise of Love and Rockets as a project.

Burning Skies
''Burning Skies'' is an EP by English post-punk band Tones on Tail. It was released on 6 May 1983 on record label Situation Two. Track listing Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' commented that the EP "offers very little songwriting content, merely scanty ideas in service of largely pointless studio fiddling".

Express (album)
''Express'' is the second studio album by English rock band Love and Rockets. It was released on 15 September 1986 on Beggars Banquet Records. An even greater departure from the band members' previous work as Bauhaus, the album's fusion of underground rock with pop stylings can be seen as an early example of alternative rock music, a genre that reached mainstream popularity in the early 1990s. "Kundalini Express" was featured in the 1986 Italian horror film '' Demons 2'' and appeared on an episode of the T.V. show ''Miami Vice''. Reception In their retrospective review, AllMusic gave the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, writing, "rich in sonic detail, the neo-psychedelic ''Express'' offers a listening experience like no other album – guitars spiral to dizzying heights from beds of sound, arrangements swirl, songs change and mutate." Release history In 2001, the album was remastered and expanded to include two single remixes and several contemporaneous B-side ...

Love And Rockets (album)
''Love and Rockets'' is the fourth studio album by English alternative rock band Love and Rockets; released in 1989 by Beggars Banquet Records on cassette, vinyl, and compact disc. Background ''Love and Rockets'' dismissed ''Earth, Sun, Moon'''s folk sound in favour of a stronger rock sound. Hints of the band's former psychedelic and gothic rock sound remain. Chief songwriters Daniel Ash and David J had begun concentrating strictly on their own material (rather than writing together) on ''Earth, Sun, Moon''. The album featured Love and Rockets' biggest hit, the Ash-penned " So Alive". The song was a surprising number 3 hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and stayed at number 1 for five weeks on the US Modern Rock chart. Because of the popularity of the single in the US, ''Love and Rockets'' became the band's best-selling album in America. It did very well in Canada as well, being certified platinum there in 1989, largely on the strength of "So Alive" which was a #1 single. ...

The song's music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh and produced by Pamela James. Background At a party one Saturday night, singer Daniel Ash saw a beautiful woman with long brown hair on the other side of a dark, shadowy room. He didn't go talk to her because he was married, but he was infatuated for the rest of the weekend. "It was like I'd known her in a different lifetime or something. It was just this thing that hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't stop thinking about her," he said. On Monday, he took a bottle of whiskey into the basement of Blackwing Studios in London, ...

Reggae
Reggae () is a music genre that originated in Jamaica during the late 1960s. The term also denotes the modern popular music of Jamaica and its Jamaican diaspora, diaspora. A 1968 single by Toots and the Maytals, "Do the Reggay", was the first popular song to use the word ''reggae'', effectively naming the genre and introducing it to a global audience. Reggae is rooted in traditional Jamaican Kumina, Pukkumina, Revival Zion, Nyabinghi, and burru drumming. Jamaican reggae music evolved out of the earlier genres mento, ska and rocksteady. Reggae usually relates news, social gossip, and political commentary. It is recognizable from the counterpoint between the bass and drum downbeat and the offbeat rhythm section. The immediate origins of reggae were in ska and rocksteady; from the latter, reggae took over the use of the bass as a percussion instrument. Stylistically, reggae incorporates some of the musical elements of rhythm and blues, jazz, mento (a celebratory, rural folk form ...

Logic Pro
Logic Pro is a proprietary digital audio workstation (DAW) and MIDI sequencer software application for the macOS platform developed by Apple Inc. It was originally created in the early 1990s as Notator Logic, or Logic, by German software developer C-Lab which later went by Emagic. Apple acquired Emagic in 2002 and renamed Logic to Logic Pro. It was the second most popular DAW – after Ableton Live – according to a survey conducted in 2015.
