Der Weg Einer Freiheit - Noktvrn - VINYL LP

Peter Schreier - Easter Impressions [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/24/2008

Vinyl LP pressing. Pressed on very special Gold Nugget vinyl and housed in a deluxe, embossed and UV glossed sleeve, limited to 1,000 numbered copies. One of the icons of the post-punk years, Peter Murphy fronted the dark art house crew Bauhaus. His charismatic, devilish and dangerous personae, combined with his stunning voice and razor-sharp cheekbones, saw him become one of the pin-ups for what was to be mis-labelled Goth. Post Bauhaus, he released a series of acclaimed solo albums and fronted the band on their intermittent back from the dead reunions before the band collapsed in 2023. Bauhaus were never short of giving a nod to their mentors with several well executed covers that they made their own. The singer continues this tradition with 'Peter Live - Vol One - Covers', the first of two albums for his own new Silver Shade tag, showcasing his own solo interpretations. There is more to a cover version than copying it note for note, and the ever-astute vocalist gets to the heart of the art of darkness of these songs by unzipping them inside out whilst giving a nod to the music that made him what he is. He stamps his own authority all over them, from a thrilling take on Iggy's 'Funtime' to a dramatic version of 'Hurt'. There is a terrifying, sparse dynamic take on Pere Ubu's iconic 'Final Solution' and a stomping and powerful nod to Howard Devoto's Magazine with a brilliant take on their 'The Light Pours Out Of Me'. Theatrical embraces of Elvis's 'Love Me Tender' and Prince's 'Purple Rain' underline the eclectic spirit of Peter's musical journey and, of course, being one of the generation of the children of Ziggy, there is the Bowie moment on the stunning take on David's first hit, 'Space Oddity' that adds to the song's sense of unease and isolation. His version of Hurt features Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor on Piano.

Chris Ousey has had an excellent singing career that goes way back to the times of InchMonroeInch and InchVirginia WolfInch and along the way we have had InchThe DistanceInch, InchOzoneInch and InchSnakecharmerInch but he will always be known for the much loved InchHeartlandInch. He is nicknamed InchThe man with the golden tonsilsInch and that is a fine accolade indeed for he has earned it. His effortless vocal range has gained him a top spot in the world of classic UK hard rock. Heartland was formed in 1990 by Chris Ousey and Gary Sharpe and Steve Morris joined in 1995 when Heartland III was released (the first for Escape Music). Steve has been in the band since then right up the 2007 InchMind Your headInch. InchInto the FutureInch marks a new era for Heartland, their brand-new and a fantastic new line up with Chris's vocals still showing no signs of tiring! This marks their 10th Studio album, a milestone indeedHere we have an album that reflects the prowess of all the musicians involved on this album, featuring the fantastic Mike Slamer (City Boy / Streets / Seventh Key / Steelhouse Lane) and Ged Rylands (Ten / Rage of Angels / Tyketto) along with the seasoned Barish Kepic, Wayne Banks and David Anthony. InchInto the FutureInch is typically Heartland, the style is immediately recognised yet there is a fresh, vibrant feel that gives the fans something new. The song InchForeign LandInch has already had an airing (Escape-Music. Com) and is a typical song from the album, this is what melodic rock is all about!
