Primal Scream - Riot City Blues (2006)

Rating:9/10
Modern Music Album Review:
One of the best group from scotland,glasgow Primal scream's last release includings 10 great song.Opening with Country Girl is the most cheerful song in this album and this song includes energetic country rhythms.Country girlll! take my hand,wanderful.Second song is Nitty Gritty and this song is compatible with country girl.I smelt some T.Rex's influence on Boogie Disease but sure,it's not a bad thing this song is good but has some similar ways with I love to boogie.When The Bomb Drop is a different melody in this album and i should say it's maybe the best song in this album after country girl original work.There is an amazing lazy song in this album named Little Death;End of this song music is becaming louder and louder.Sometimes I Feel So Lonely is closing song and right closing song for this such an amazing album,dozy song.Primal Scream combined a lot of good materials in this album(hard rock,county,alternative rock.With this album i remembered old hard rock and glam rockers like New York dolls,T.rex...buy this

McCartney and Mills to separate (News!)

Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills

See the couple
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and his wife Heather Mills are to separate after four years of marriage.
A joint statement said they had "found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives".
Sir Paul and Mills, a former model, married in June 2002. They had a daughter, Beatrice, a year later.
They met in 1999 through Mills' work for her charity, launched after losing a leg in a motorbike accident in 1993.
The statement said: "Having tried exceptionally hard to make our relationship work given the daily pressures surrounding us, it is with sadness that we have decided to go our separate ways.
To have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter, is immensely stressful
Joint statement by Sir Paul and Mills

The Beatle and the model
"Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives, and we have actively tried to protect the privacy of our child.
"Separation for any couple is difficult enough, but to have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter, is immensely stressful.

"We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter, that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period."

The couple have carried out animal rights campaigning this year

Sir Paul put a separate statement on his personal website, criticising the media's coverage of the breakup.
"It's been suggested that she [Mills] married me for the money and there is not an ounce of truth in this," he wrote.

"I'm very sad to see that some insensitive people would choose a moment like this to spread these vicious rumours."
Mills has endured repeated press criticism since their wedding, including claims that she influenced her husband's decisions on everything from his appearance to his work.

In the past, Sir Paul has refuted claims of a rift between his wife and his children.
Recent reports had suggested the couple were living at separate addresses.
Sir Paul, 63, was said to be living on the family farm in Peasmarsh, East Sussex, while 38-year-old Mills was reportedly at the couple's home in Hove.

The couple have also appeared together at public engagements this year, protesting in Canada in March against the slaughter of seal pups and in a BBC documentary last month on the fur trade.

They were married in June 2002 at the 17th Century Castle Leslie in Glaslough, County Monaghan, Ireland.

Sir Paul later revealed the venue was chosen because his mother had been born in County Monaghan.

Sir Paul has been world famous for five decades following the global success of the Beatles in the 1960s.

He received a knighthood in 1997's New Year honours.

The musician is worth an estimated £800m, and Mills has revealed in the past that he turned down her offer to sign a prenuptial agreement to protect his fortune.

Sir Paul was previously married to Linda Eastman from 1969 until her death in 1998 from breast cancer, and it is said that they were only apart once during their marriage.

The couple had three children - musician James, photographer Mary, and fashion designer Stella. Sir Paul also has a stepdaughter, Heather, from Linda's first marriage.
Mills formed the Heather Mills Health Trust, recycling prosthetic limbs and campaigning against landmines, after being hit by a police motorcycle as she crossed a road in 1993.
She is now founding patron of UK charity Adopt A Minefield, along with her husband, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996.

Frank Black - Fastman Raiderman (2006)

Rating:8.5/10
Modern Music Album Review:
Frank Black's last album Fastman Raiderman which comprises two disc.There are 27 songs in this record. When I first listen it,i think that he again made a great fantastic record.Another different taste of Frank Black and another amazing record.His style in this album Adult Alternative Pop/ Rock with more country melodies.I should say that it's a totally professional record after Honeycomb.First single from this album is Fitzgerald.Calm,relaxing work.Frank Black's style changing on every album.But it's not a disadvantage i think he uses his talent succesfully while changing and trying other things.Melodical and more adult album maybe it's not entertaining but it's full-up with feeling.With song My Terrible Ways you'll compare his song with neil young i think you won't be wrong,sure there is similarity with his voice.One of the best song in this record is It's Just Not Your Moment,wanderful melody and i think this album a very big present to Frank Black's fans.buy this

Two Peppers And A Pea Join Farrell Album

Former Jane's Addiction/Porno For Pyros frontman Perry Farrell is finishing up work on the debut album from his new group, Satellite Party, which also features ex-Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt.

Farrell is eyeing a late summer release for the self-titled effort, which boasts guest appearances from Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and guitarist John Frusciante (on the track "Hard Life), Black Eyed Peas vocalist Fergie, New Order bassist Peter Hook and Farrell's wife, Etty.

"It's going to be a solid group with both female and male players," he tells Billboard.com, "and it's going to be very live and very powerful. But we want to add a nice, healthy dose of female energy into it, especially female voice, because it's wonderful for chorus. We're chock full of great, grand songs."

Farrell debuted the project at last summer's Lollapalooza in Chicago. During that show, he and Bettencourt were joined by No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal, who is no longer a member of the group. While mum on Kanal's replacement, Farrell says both Flea and Bettencourt played a lot of the bass on the album. Kevin Fig, a friend of Bettencourt's, is playing drums.

With a "major" new deal ("If we're a goal line, we're an inch from the goal line," Farrell says) in the works, the group's first single, "Dogstar," is being penciled in for release this summer. Satellite Party is also hoping to reappear at this summer's Lollapalooza, set for Aug. 4-6 in Chicago.

"It's going to be a little different version from what you saw if you were at Lollapalooza last year," he says. "It's a hybrid: We combine some rock elements and elements of choir and a big healthy dose of rock'n'roll. It is lush and beautiful and sexy and loaded with energy."

Meanwhile, Farrell says Warner Bros. catalog arm Rhino is working on a Jane's Addiction box set. The label is also prepping the DVD releases of his 1989 short film, "Soul Kiss," and his morbid controversial 1993 movie "Gift."

Spotlight - James

Modern Music Spotlight
James was one of the populer manchester band on '80s and '90s with their pleasant folk-pop.The group was pegged as second-rate Smiths, yet continued to tour and record, eventually gaining a sizable following.I think they've an amazing starting to the music scene their first album with Stutter.Do you want to listen a gem from this album?then i can say you should listen Why So Close.James sound like a water flow,restful,peace-loving.In the late '80s, the group, like many of their British peers, became involved in the acid house-inspired "baggy" scene and recorded the baggy-inspired "Sit Down," which became their breakthrough hit.It can't wrong to listen them when you're happy.Shortly after "Sit Down," James became more experimental, culminating in a collaboration with Brian Eno that resulted in their biggest American album, Laid, in 1993.Their album which is released in 1990 and named Gold Mother is one of my favorite James work,i can request from this album Hang on wanderful melody.I don't prefer so suggest songs like sit down,seven,getting away with it or lose control because you can listen them on a best of collection and they're well-known songs.Let's jump to their Millionaires album and from this album you can listen We're Going To Miss You,sure you'll like it.They've a good end with releasing Pleased to Meet You.You can listen Pleased To Meet You from this album,it's a good choice to closing James spotlight.

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam (2006)

Pearl Jam's eighth studio album Pearl Jam hit the stores on May 2, 2006. The album includes such songs as "Comatose", "Life Wasted", "Come Back", "Gone", "Army Reserve", and "World Wide Suicide". "Comatose" (originally titled "Crapshoot Rapture") was premiered live in concert in March 2005, and Gone was debuted in a solo performance by Eddie Vedder at a Pearl Jam concert in October 2005. European fans had a special treat on April 20, as Pearl Jam played a small show at the Astoria, debuting live performances of "Marker in the Sand" and "Army Reserve," along with a few others that had already made appearances. Vedder has made previous statements that he wants the fans to hear the songs on the album first. In many instances, the members of Pearl Jam have revealed that they regard this as their best work to date, as it resembles the raw energy of their first albums.

"World Wide Suicide" is the first single from the album. In late February, the band made a 15-second clip of the song available on the Internet, which was then played on numerous North American radio stations. The snippet revealed a hard-rocking sound with a noted return to the dominant vocal styles of Vedder's earlier work. Many claim the song is reminiscent of Vs., as also mentioned by Mike McCready in 2005. On March 3, 2006, the single was played on Seattle's 107.7 The End and soon leaked on the Internet. Pearl Jam then early-released the single online two days later.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

While Gish had placed the Smashing Pumpkins on the "most promising artist" list for many, troubles were threatening to break the band apart. Singer/guitarist/leader Billy Corgan was battling a severe case of writer's block and was in a deep state of depression brought on by a relationship in turmoil; drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was addicted to hard drugs; and bassist D'Arcy and guitarist James Iha severed their romantic relationship. The sessions for their sophomore effort, Siamese Dream, were wrought with friction -- Corgan eventually played almost all the instruments himself (except for percussion). Some say strife and tension produces the best music, and it certainly helped make Siamese Dream one of the finest alt-rock albums of all time. Instead of following Nirvana's punk rock route, Siamese Dream went in the opposite direction -- guitar solos galore, layered walls of sound courtesy of the album's producers (Butch Vig and Corgan), extended compositions that bordered on prog rock, plus often reflective and heartfelt lyrics. The four tracks that were selected as singles became alternative radio standards -- the anthems "Cherub Rock," "Today," and "Rocket," plus the symphonic ballad "Disarm" -- but as a whole, Siamese Dream proved to be an incredibly consistent album. Such compositions as the red-hot rockers "Quiet" and "Geek U.S.A." were standouts, as were the epics "Hummer," "Soma," and "Silverfuck," plus the soothing sounds of "Mayonaise," "Spaceboy," and "Luna." After the difficult recording sessions, Corgan stated publicly that if Siamese Dream didn't achieve breakthrough success, he would end the band. He didn't have to worry for long -- the album debuted in the Billboard Top Ten and sold more than four million copies in three years. Siamese Dream stands alongside Nevermind and Superunknown as one of the decade's finest (and most influential) rock albums.

Cranes - Particles & Waves (2005)

Modern Music Album Review:
Like a miracle,flying vocals,amazing guitars.It can be a big mistake to put them in a label like dream pop,indie rock or anything else.You feel the music in your body,visceral.Again I'm saying they've a different way to tell their music,that's the reason why they're original.

Scott Walker - Drift (2006)

10/10
Modern Music Album Review:
I think this album should be the most amazing album of the year.I listened and listened again for one week and there are lots of complicated feelings in this release.Scott Walker did a wanderful job to release such a perfect, synthetic, diabolical, painful album. He worked for several years for this album and it was worth to work such a real music. I prefer to listen this album when the sun goes down. Hand Me Ups is one of the perfect song which i heard in this year. Screams are perfecly, claps are threatening in this song. And album cover tells all the treasures in this album. Just look at the cover and you'll see the real pain. The Drift is one of my perfect experience. 'Forever and ever forever and ever' like scott says in the song .buy this

Modern Music Review:
I listened only three songs of them.I think you'll love them if you listen groups like papa roach
I think their best work in this three song is With me or against me including active and energetic guitar melodies.Near the end of this song you'll hear short guitar solo and i think they should use more this solos,short but impressive and i'm sure they'll improve their this side(using more guitar solos make their music more alive).You can listen their other songs if you like sound of with me or against me.Vocals are clear and high-spirited.
