Maximo Park - Stream of Life - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This appearance on the legendary German WDR TV show Rockpalast remains the only video recorded performance ever of Starry Eyed and Laughing. Songs performed in this set that have never been previously heard or recorded are Iain Whitmore's 'Even The Rain' and 'Faith, Hope & Charity' and Tony Poole's 'You Always Lose In The End', together with their versions of Dylan's 'Mr. Tambourine Man' and Stephen Foster's 'Oh Susannah', and this box set is currently the only place that the band's versions of these songs can be heard. Starry Eyed and Laughing would go on in 1976 to record and two singles produced by Flo & Eddie, but the DVD of this unique live performance on Rockpalast in this box set is the most memorable and valuable - and only visual - record of them at the peak of their existence. The bonus CD in this package includes for comparison the studio recordings of those songs performed in the live set that were actually released on the band's two albums 'Starry Eyed & Laughing' and 'Thought Talk', together with recordings of two songs never released at the time Tony Poole's 'Jet Plane Rider' and 'Dancing Slow' that first saw the light of day in the archival Aurora 'Forever Young' in 2014.

A classic album from Miami-based DJ/producer George Acosta, who began spinning records while in his teens, emerging as a staple of the underground rave circuit. The founder of his own Waxhead Records tag, Acosta remixed everyone from the B-52's to Ultra Nate in addition to issuing his own records

2021 . An album of our times, Newcastle band Maximo Park return with their seventh record Nature Always Wins. The album arrives as something of an examination, zeroing in on the notion of the self, identity as a band, and that of humanity as a whole. The album's title nods to the famous Nature vs Nurture debate. Discussing whether change is capable under the influence of time, perspective, environment or if we are destined to be bound by our own genetics, it asks, Inchwho are we, and who do we want to be, and do we have any control over it?Inch. Produced by Atlanta-based Grammy-winning producer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter), who afforded the band freedom to play and create. What wasn't anticipated was how that freedom would be soon be stripped, as lockdown restrictions left the band recording remotely across Newcastle, Liverpool and Atlanta with audio files bounced back and forth, 4000 miles across the world!
