The Black Album by FAX droid #42Hugely successful on vinyl and CD, the Rutles' hit record was due for re-issue on minidisc, but its release has been postponed indefinitely, while the bitter legal battle ensues over alleged plagiarism by the famous tunesmiths from classical sources - now back in copyright after the recent revision of international laws governing the music industry. ...Britnee Spheres' debut "Trainee Virgin" reviewed
Return to vinyl? by Porl BroomeParents of teenagers throughout the Western world were in uproar last night, and the focus of their fury was quasi-rock group and neo-rebels, the Greater Phallopial Lacerators. Forever in the news, the 'Rators latest publicity ploy was unveiled last week. It seems their new full-length album Mucky Mouse Had Three, was to be released on their own Shiny Hard & Black label, in antique vinyl format. Since this was announced, fans of the group - Lacerettes, as they are less than affectionately known - have been buying up ancient turntables from expensive Art and Artifax auctions, driving many parents into 38 percent APR debt and angst-ridden despair. When questioned about this ploy, Mal Malaise, vox artist with the group, replied: "This isn't a publicity stunt, as so many people seem to think. After all - we don't need publicity. We just felt that the band's sound was better suited to the honest, flawed vinyl of our forebears, than the false digital reproduction of more contemporary systems." "Plus," he added, "you can't play a microdisc backwards to catch the satanic back-masking." Turntables and vinyl records were gradually phased out of all retail stores before the turn of the century, but their usefulness and market value was maintained (albeit briefly) by a number of indie labels, and the very last commercial vinyl album, the celebrated Vinyl Lap - No. I of V, by the Bell Jar, appeared just after the millennium. ...4-finger salute to the king, album review |
