Johnny
Cash
American V: a hundred highways
Universal 2006
Beltzez jantzitako gizona Rick Rubinen albora gerturatu zen bere azken
grabazioak egiteko. Ekimen horren azken alea da honakoa, non Cash
gaixo batek Hank Williams, Don Gibson edo Bruce Springsteen bezalakoen
moldaketak aurkezten dizkigun. Azken aldian gainera hainbat autobiografia,
edizio berri eta komiki argitaratu da musikariaren inguruan. Bere
ahots sendoaz gozatzeko aukera berri bat dugu oraingoan, bere azken
grabaketek luzatzen digutena. Hunkigarria. The
man in black linked up with Rick Rubin for his last recordings. This
is the last offering from the partnership. A sick Cash brings us versions
of songs by the likes of Hank Williams, Don Gibson and Bruce Springsteen.
Recently we have witnessed the release of biographies, new and re-releases
and comics on the musician. Here we have another chance to enjoy the
deep strong voice of the man on his last recording. Moving. |
Sonic
Youth “Rather Ripped”
Geffen records 2006
Azken urteetan grabatu duten disko onenetarikoa da. Duela gutxi 25
urte bete dute musikaren munduan eta jada ez da taldeko kide Jim O´
Rourke, azken urteetan batu zitzaiena. Horrek ez du alde batera utzi
taldearen freskotasun eta indarra hamabi kantu berri hauetan. Ez dira
asko luzatu abestietan eta hiru lau minutuko kantuak aurkezten dizkigute,
pop doinuetara gerturatuz eta beti bezain gazte izaten jarraitzen
dutela erakutsiz. Beti bezain soniko. The
best record they’ve recorded over the last few years. They recently
celebrated 25 years in the music biz and band-member for the last
while, Jim O’Rourke, is now no longer part of the group. This
doesn’t affect the freshness on show in the 12 songs on the
record. They don’t drone on in the songs – three to four
minutes of pop melodies. They’re as young as ever on this one.
As Sonic as ever. |
Primal
Scream
Riot City Blues
Sony / Bmg 2006
Duela lau urte argitaratu zuen “Evil Heat” Primal Scream-ek.
Aurtengo udaran etorri zaigu haren buelta: Riot City Blues. Blues
eta rock zikinenera gerturatuz. Ez dute energiarik galdu eta betiko
ausardia erakusten dute. Batzuk gogor kritikatu duten diskoa bada
ere, Primal Scream-ek berean jarraitzen du eta lotsagabe aurkezten
dizkigute beren doinu berriak. Ez da hemen horren gustoko ditugun
gaindosi elektronikorik baina ondo pasatzeko diskoa lortu dute eta
gure gau mozkorretan alboan izango duguna. Primal
Scream released “Evil Heat” four years ago. This summer
sees them back with the follow up: “Riot City Blues.”
Dirty blues and rock. They waste no energy and their characteristic
daring is strongly present. Even though the record has been lambasted
in certain circles, Primal Scream are sticking to their guns and they
feel no shame about what they’ve come up with on this record.
We don’t get the large doses of electronica that we like so
much, but it’s a record we can get off on and no doubt it’ll
accompany us on manys a night of drunken debauchery. |
