Billy Corgan - The Machina Acoustic Demos (1998)

While anxiously awaiting for a promised new album by Billy Corgan, I've found this GREAT material on the internet. Recorded in late 1998 at Billy Corgan's house, he reveals the complete Machina album in an introspective, solo-acoustic recording. I've asked myself several times while listening to his guitar strumming and unique voice tone, "Boy... how can he write so many great pop songs?!". The remainder of this rare CD is completed by other 7 Adore demos recorded at Chicago Recording Co. in Feb/1997.
If you're a SP fan, you will certainly appreciate the value of these rare recordings.
+ Enjoy!

+ Exclusive recording

The TOP 3

Thanks for all of you who contributed with visits and comments to this blog. Here is a re-cap of the TOP 3 posts of 2006:

- John Mayer singing "The Eraser"
This one in particular generated a lot of discussion and comments. Did John Mayer do a good job covering "The Eraser" by Thom Yorke? I honestly think so.

- Keane - Live @ Hull Arena (UK) - 10/17/06
Now with a new link to my fellows in Brazil!

- Chris Cornell - Unplugged in Sweden (2006)
Covering from Bob Marley (Redemption Song) to Michael Jackson (Billie Jean), Chris Cornell surprised us with this unplugged.

THE 15 ALMOST "FORGOTTEN" BEST ALBUMS OF 2006

It always seems strange to me when great albums are left behind from top 40, 50 countdown of the best albums of 2006 of prestigious magazines. To be fair enough, I re-grouped a list that will generate some disagreements but I thought at least a few of those albums should have been listed:

- Keane - Under the Iron Sea
Unlike U2, Keane is unique in that the piano--not the guitar--is the band's primary mode of rocking. Singer Tom Chaplin's clean vocals bring to mind other Brit rockers. In UTIS, the group writes smarter-than-average catchy pop songs such as "Crystal Ball" and "Hamburg Song" with its beautiful piano and vocals.

- My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me the Workhorse

Bring Me The Workhorse courageously gathers all the essential elements of classical and pop to create an album that breaks down the barriers of both worlds. Imagine Jeff Buckley vocal's meeting with Sonic Youth's guitars-drums-n-bass filled with great arrangements' orchestration of the string quartet.

- Josh Rouse - Subtitulo

Subtitulo may be Rouse's finest hour. Imagine some of Paul Simon's more vanilla solo work with the attitude of Jack Jonson thrown in and you're half way there. The songs here take the listener back to 70's AM radio when music was still being played with regularity. Check out "Quiet Town" (which may resemble Teitur's guitar playing).

- Camera Obscura - Let's Get out of This Country

While the songs are undeniably beautiful and even fun, the music provides a vital balance to the album's substantial thematic heft, and it's that combination that makes Let's Get Out Of This Country one of the year's best pop albums. (Slant Magazine). Check out "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken"

- Greg Laswell - Through Toledo

Written, performed and produced entirely by Laswell, Through Toledo is a lovely slice of adult-ish pop. Heavy on melancholy but also hooky and melodic and able to range from delicacy to rocking out without ever sounding forced or overwhelming Laswell's emotive, weary rasp.

- New London Fire - I Sing The Body Holographic

For the dozen songs featured the New Jersey quartet blends themes, tempos and numbers that rely heavily on both pop sensibilities and electronic atmosphere into a rather pleasing debut full-length.

- Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther

While The Trials of Van Occupanther may never be more than a cult favorite, those seeking to till peculiarly American musical soil will undoubtedly reap a rewarding and plentiful harvest. (ShakingThrough.net)

- KT Tunstall - Eye to The Telescope

Beautiful songs one and all, there’s much to recommend "Eye To The Telescope", and given enough time and patience, Tunstall’s subtle charm seeps through making it an album to love. (Dot Music)

- We Are Scientists - With Love and SqualorThey are like The Killers without the ego and a little more nerdery. With Love and Squalor certainly won't change pop music as we know it, but it packs surprisingly huge melodies and shamelessly danceable beats.

- The Kooks - Inside in, Inside OutThe band's great strength is its surging rhythm section, which tilts the songs twoard the dance floor and brings freshness and oomph to chord progressions and tunes we've been hearing since... 1966 and 1977. (Entertainment Weekly)

- Jeremy Enigk - World Waits
While World may be missing the top-hatted theatrics of today's Billboard prancers, Enigk's quiet talent--and pedigree--earns him a closer listen. His vocals here are as translucent as ever. (Entertainment Weekly).

- Maritime - We The Vehicles
The songs are mature but not boring; nicely layered but not overproduced; well executed but not sterile. (Alternative Press). The songwriting is strong enough and the arrangements appealing enough that We the Vehicles has a quiet pop charm all its own. (All Music Guide)

- Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Revelations is Muse's best work yet primarily because of the fluid balance it keeps between excess and restraint. Consolidates and amplifies everything they've done up to now. (Alternative Press)

- Damien Rice - 9There are not as many revelations as on Rice's acclaimed 2002 debut, "O," but it still can be sonically thrilling. (LA Times). Rice seeks 24/7 momentousness here. (SPIN)

- Snow Patrol - Eyes OpenSnow Patrol are poised to eclipse Coldplay as pop's greatest anthem-makers (The Guardian). Eyes Open is composed of broad, obvious songs with broad, obvious hooks, aimed straight for the hearts of as many people as the band can manage. All of this would be bad, horrible even, if it didn't work. But it does. (Stylus Magazine)
