The Album Notes

The "Five Point Wonderful" is a cd collection of the isolated 5.1 channels extracted from The Beatles' "Anthology" DVD. Eighty-two tracks have been culled from the DVD set. The center channel (mono), the front left & front right channels (stereo), the surround left & surround right channels (stereo) and the low frequency track (mono) of these tracks are presented here in four pairs of CDs.
The Anthology 5.1 mixes of these Beatles songs presented a unique set of challenges. First, there were many cases where songs were marred with voice-overs or sound effects. In most cases this happened at the beginning or end of a song, but in some cases there were interruptions two or three times in mid-song, in fact "Rock and Roll Music" had four interruptions during the performance! I had to make a decision whether to include this dialogue or not, and finally I opted to leave it out. I wanted to focus on the unique aspects of the newly remixed music and after many repeated listenings I determined that there was no way to do that when you're trying to hear the music through voice-overs. Therefore you may find that some songs start rather suddenly four (or more) bars in, or fade quite quickly at the end. Many of these tracks are small snippets of songs, lasting less than a minute. However, I wanted to include even the smallest bits if they provided a new listening experience, no matter how brief.

Biography:

F.R.David has no label on his back, he defines himself as part of the contemporary musical family, popular, and prefers the formula of his friend RAY CHARLES: "there is good and bad music, everything else is only details ".
Initially (late sixties) he is accompanist (bass) for a few artists in France, the first being his sister. Then, one day, because of the defection of a singer in his amateur band, he is spotted for his voice, and becomes the singer of LES BOOTS, the first professional group for him.
After singing in many clubs in Europe, he begins to experiment with unknown areas that power his curiosity.
The album "Earth" with Vangelis Papathanassiou (top 70) is one of his best experiences in the "psychedelic" with that of SOFT MACHINE.
He produces for others, and creates a single: "Superman, Superman" that becomes a hit.
Then he replaces Joe Loeb and goes in 1974 to attack the USA as a singer for "The Variations " hard rock band, for a national tour and records an album : "Cafe de Paris" (Buddha records). One of the favorites bands of "Rolling Stones magazine", he finds himself in the opening concerts of several giants of Rock.
Rather than return to France where he succeeded rather well, he remains in the U.S. and meets artists as diverse as AEROSMITH, O'JAYS, RICHIE HAVENS, TOTO and many others. These collaborations take place on stage or in studio.
The rest of the decade, FR David lives in New York and signs with the No. 1 manager of Rock: David Krebbs. He works with the "cream of the cream" between New York and LA, with MICKAEL KAMEN, STEELY DAN, KENNY LAGUNA (Joan Jet), RAY CHARLES, etc. ....
Based on these musical vitamins, but with empty pockets, he returns to Paris in 1981 and releases a tip he’d never thought he would sing.
The most extraordinary things often happen by accident. Thus, "Words" stays 17 weeks No. 1 in all the charts in Europe, and tops in the world. Other titles follow with success: "Pick up the phone", "I need you", "Girl you're my song", "Sahara night."
The 90’s are not conducive to musicians but to poets, and F.R.David "hibernates" waiting for things to get better. During this period he writes for Dee Dee Bridgewater, and produces other artists.
In 2000 he releases the album "99 version" which contains mostly covers, but that does not really fills its author.
BOB SINCLAR through ALAIN WISNIAK brings a breath of fresh air through his positivity and energy, they record two CD singles together.
But the 2000’s put F.R.David on stage and the audience gives him the power he needs, despite a show business which has became disillusioned and fearful.
Today on the eve of the release of his new album "Numbers", the title "Words" has at his astonishment, became a standard classic pop in the world and his shows make him reknown beyond his fans .. --- Official F.R. David Website

Culture Club - The Best Of Culture Club

Biography:
Culture Club is a Grammy Award-winning British pop group that formed in the early 1980s. The band consisted of Boy George (lead vocals), Mikey Craig (bass guitar), Roy Hay (guitar and keyboards), and Jon Moss (drums and percussion). From the time of the band's first album release in 1982 to its dissolution in 1986, Culture Club had amassed hits in several countries around the world, including ten Top Forty hits in the US, most of which went Top Ten. They went on to have subsequent hits in the UK during a reunion period of 1998-2002, where they scored a #4 single and a #25 single. Culture Club has sold approximately 22 million albums worldwide. ---Wikipedia

Culture Club were one of the biggest pop bands of the 80s, racking up seven straight Top 10 hits in the UK and nine Top 10 singles in the US.
Central to the band's appeal was the flamboyant front man Boy George, whose cross-dressing and heavy make-up created an image which was completely unique on the pop scene. George was also noted for his biting wit and frequently came up with cutting quips that won Culture Club media exposure on both sides of the Atlantic.
Although they drew influence from the 'New Romantic' movement, Culture Club were also inspired by the music and fashion of 'Northern Soul', which helped to create a broader appeal.
Culture Club grew out of the ashes of 'Sex Gang Children', formed by George and bassist Mikey Craig. Drummer Jon Moss and guitarist Roy Hay came on board, and by 1981 the band had been renamed.
Early in 1982 a deal was signed with Virgin Records, but success eluded them until the release of their third single in the autumn, the massive breakthrough hit 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me'.
Shortly after this Culture Club's debut album 'Kissing To Be Clever', climbed to No.5 on the UK charts, while another non-album single 'Time (Clock Of The Heart)' reached No.3.
The band's US success followed early in 1983 with the album and both singles riding high in the charts. A third single 'I'll Tumble 4 Ya' was taken from the album in the US, providing additional Top 10 success.
By the time their second album 'Colour By Numbers' was released in autumn 1983, Culture Club were the most popular pop group in the world. 'Colour By Numbers' spawned 'Karma Chameleon' a transatlantic No.1, which sold over five million copies worldwide. Meanwhile the album was kept off the US No.1 spot for six consecutive weeks by Michael Jackson's record-breaking 'Thriller'.
However the band's third album, 1984's 'Waking Up With The House On Fire', failed to repeat their earlier success with the critics and on the charts. Its lead single 'The War Song' was their final Top 10 hit of the decade on both sides of the Atlantic.
George began a long battle against drug dependence, confirming the group's break-up in 1987. That year he released his first solo single, a cover of the reggae classic 'Everything I Own', which rode a wave of public sympathy that culminated in a UK No.1.
In 1989 George embarked on a new dance orientated career having several hits across Europe with Jesus Loves You, which led on to him becoming established as one of Britain's leading club DJs. He returned the UK and US Top 30s in 1992 with the theme song to the hit movie 'The Crying Game'.
Jon and Mikey have established their own studios and Roy composes for movies and TV in Los Angeles.
Culture Club reunited in 1998, releasing the two-disc set 'VH1 Storytellers/Greatest Hits'. The first captures the band live in the VH1 studios tackling both old and new material while the second is a compilation of re-mastered hits. The band also had a No.4 hit in the UK that year with 'I Just Wanna Be Loved'.
Culture Club were the first band since The Beatles to achieve three top 10 hits from their debut album on the Billboard chart. Official Website

David Bowie - Never Let Me Down

David Bowie - Never Let Me Down

Release: 1987 | Label: Disky | Number: VI 795622
Genre: Pop/Rock, Rock | Mono/Stereo: 2 Channel
EAC Rip | Included: EAC Log + CUE + Flac + Full Covers (300dpi)

Album Notes

David Bowie has claimed that Never Let Me Down is one of the worst albums of this career. He has claimed that he went into the studio for this album without really knowing why he was doing it, nor really caring that much about how it turned out. Indeed, the eventual realization that he was simply "going through the motions" on this project caused him to form Tin Machine, keep Tin Machine together much longer than he should have, and refrain from releasing another solo album until 1993's Black Tie White Noise. For all of this criticism, however, Never Let Me Down is not the worst Bowie album in existence. That award goes to Tonight, a truly generic project thrown together in 1984 on the heels of Let's Dance. In comparison to this, Never Let Me Down is actually a step back in the right direction -- a mediocre work by Bowie's standards, to be sure, but not a complete disaster (the Glass Spider tour, of course, is something entirely different, and best forgotten by all concerned). Moreover, there are actually a few decent songs on this project. "Time Will Crawl", though falling a few a few notches below "classic" levels for Bowie, is at least a worthy successor to his earlier apocalyptic pieces, and has enough internal diversity to make it the best track on the album (it was also released as a single, but failed to make the Top 40 in America). The track begins with an eerie mixture of saxophone and keyboards, followed up with truly frightening lyrics which include references to both "Space Oddity" and possibly "The Supermen" as well. The sax solo and Floydean effects after the second chorus are nice touches as well. The opening track is fairly good as well. "Day In, Day Out" (which did make the American top 40, somehow) commences with an ominous synth section, quickly followed by a heavy drum beat which remains consistent throughout the song (a Let's Dance reference, perhaps). The use of brass, percussive devices, and piano adds a bit of extra flavour to the track as well. The song itself is a somewhat awkward attempt at addressing the increased levels of homelessness, though it maintains a certain level of credibility by personalizing the story through "Julie", the heroine of the tale. The arrangement seems a bit of a mess at times, but the good parts are enough to merit a higher rating. And then there's "Glass Spider" itself, a would-be epic number with a bizarre, Edgar Allan Poe-esque spoken-word introduction regarding the beauty and terror of the titular beast. The eventual song which emerges from this is, unfortunately, not quite as good as it could have been -- the guitar parts here are better than on the rest of the album, and the bass line has a certain simple charm ... but that somehow isn't enough. Bowie's repeated "Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone" line gives a certain element of mystery to the track, but also suggests that he didn't take the theme of the song too far beyond the original idea. This is probably the most ambitious track on the album, but it simply doesn't go far as it should have. The other tracks are either average or slightly below average. "Beat Of Your Drum" is an obvious weak moment on the album; beginning with a vaguely interesting story about voyeurism, it quickly develops into a tedious repetition of the title, and goes on for much longer than it should have. "Never Let Me Down" is a vaguely "classy" pop song, mingling love and religion in the time-honoured manner, and producing a decent piece of pop culture in the process. It's a bit underdeveloped, though, the odd harmonica intrusion aside (this song also made the US Top 40, btw). "Zeroes" sees Bowie trying to relive his past as a glam rocker, with bogus live chants heralding the on-stage presence of "The Zeroes", a new Bowie-identity which was thankfully nipped fairly close to the bud. The music is fairly basic and doesn't change through the song; the lyrics are utterly forgettable. A few steps above "bad", it's also quite a few notches below "meaningful in any conceivable manner". The tracks which round out the section of the album formerly known as "the end of Side Two" are, predictably, throwaways. "Shining Star (Makin' My Love)" may actually be the best of the lot -- a macabre story of inner-city drug use mingled with a bizarre mock-Broadway lyric and musical arrangement -- but it's nothing too special. "New York's In Love" isn't as bad as the title might suggest, but neither is it particularly notable for anything -- a decently-performed rock song that could have used a bit more on the writing side. "'87 And Cry" is essentially in the same position -- there simply isn't anything terribly distinctive about these numbers. "Too Dizzy" is another relative weak moment, despite the occasional odd lyric or saxophone part -- aside from being lacking any notable qualities, it drags on for too long. "Bang Bang", which ends the album, is a somewhat surprising turn back to a vaguely interesting direction - the guitar/bass/saxophone combination is fairly good, and the lyric receives an oddly threatening connotation in this context. As with some other tracks, though, it seems dashed off a bit too quickly. It's to Bowie's credit that even his weaker albums are still listenable, but there is absolute no manner in which this work may be considered essential. The good material might make it worthwhile if you're already an established fan -- otherwise, though, there are much better Bowie albums to acquire. ---Christopher Currie, All Tentative Reviews - tranglos.com
