I've a large, huge collection of LPs. What can I say?! The sound, the warmth, the deep tonal color: beauty than just about any digital gear I've heard.

While the golden age of analog playback is often considered the 1960s, simply because the LP was the dominant carrier of music then, the quality of new LPs from that era simply wouldn't touch what we have today.

 I always keep search a new tecnology cool staff abut it. Today I came across this site, called Origin Live

Madonna "Filth and Wisdom"

Ok, today I found a news that makes me happy, I can't wait to see that film :D

The news is  Madonna and her movie "Filth and Wisdom ". Madonna's directorial debut that let's say, many people (expecially at the Berlin Film Festival) were expecting MAdonna fail spectacularly.

Well The Guardian was pretty hard with he, they wroter:

"Well, it had to happen. Madonna has been a terrible actor in many, many films and now – fiercely aspirational as ever – she has graduated to being a terrible director. She has made a movie so incredibly bad that Berlin festivalgoers were staggering around yesterday in a state of clinical shock, deathly pale and mewing like maltreated kittens.”



I think that
Madonna is the most famous and criticised woman in the world. Not to forget she works harder than anyone and has been in the spotlight for over 25 years now, having best selling records, books, awards - including a Golden Globe -, world tours, etc.

So the film bypassing the cinema, and will be release on iTunes.

Level 42 Return

I really hope that you remember Level 42 :D

When I was young, I really love them.And lately it's happen that I often listen old CD of LEvel42.

So I discovered that three quarters of the original Level 42 line-up reunited in 2000 for a private show.

That's amazing!! I mean, I see the  The Retroglide Tour 2006 in DVD and it's gorgeous, they're the same as ever. Mark King is really a King, no words at all :D

For someone that don't know theere is a new cd "Retroglide" 2006 and its a "must have".

On various fan sites, there are rumours that King, Lindup, Husband and the other members of Level 42 are working on new material, co-writing with both Boon Gould and Wally Badarou again, with a view to recording a new album, possibly for release in 2008.

And I discovered the origins of the name too:
Douglas Adams' comical science fiction novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy wherein the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, is '42 '. Therefore '42' was suggested as a name for the band.

“Knight Rider”

Did you know about Knight Rider supercar 2008? I never heard about that, until yesterday, I must confess. It's a NBC project, and two-hour movie. But as soon as I know about it...well let's just say that I see the pilot yesterday :D Yes, “Knight Rider”: the NBC’s iconic 1980s television classic that became a runaway success. They bring back to life with an updated sequel and in the cast there is David Hasselhoff also...unbelievable. The car is obviously a Ford Mustang GT500K, here it is:


as known KITT, version Kitt Attack...really superfast.

NBC also has an arrangement with Ford Motor Company that provides for a unique content opportunity that makes the Ford



Mustang one of the stars of the movie. The three cars to be employed in the series include the KITT Hero — a Ford Mustang



Shelby GT500KR that is playing the part of the everyday Hero car with 540 horsepower; the KITT Attack — a super high-speed



version of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR Hero car that transforms into Attack mode with the help of air-ride technology and



specialized body parts — and a KITT Remote, which is a driverless Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR version of the Hero vehicle.



I don't tell about the movie further because I don't like read spoiler about tv series so I don't make it.

All I can say it's that Deanna Russo (”NCIS,” “The Young and the Restless”)..well she's gorgeous. :D

As a pilot for a TV series, it stacks up much better.

All in all, there were some good effects, a little action, a few chuckles, and some nice nods to the past. Let's see where they take it if and when it goes to series.

Today I find that Woonz: that is basically a search engine, specifically for searching audio files for download. You can search by artist, band name or track name, if it is music you are searching, or you could search for any audio file using keywords. No files are cached or stored on Woonz servers, all data comes from various sources on the internet.



However, there is an interesting warning on the homepage which reads:

Do not download copyrighted material without permission. Woonz is a search engine designed for LEGAL entertainment purposes only. This search engine is in no way intended for illegal downloads.

Also
Woonz claims not to log any IPs and keep all user activity anonymous.

I don't know if believe that or not.



But I find an advanced mp3 audio and music search engine. SkreemR allows you to search for music and download mp3 files from the web.

At least that's my favorite, I must confess :D Even the logo I love.

Well..

About my last post concerning the Maple wood and its use in liutery, I bring a synthesis between differences in the use of the main woods for electric and acoustic guitars and basses.
All of you will have noticed that the various producers of electric guitars make a different use of the woods to build his own guitars and basses. We see in the detail some difference, comparing four among the principal builder of guitars:

GIBSON
:

  • Mogany for the body
  • Mogany for the neck
  • Maple for the top
  • Palissandro for the fingerboard
PAUL REED SMITH:

  • Mogany for the body
  • Mogany for the neck
  • Maple for the top
  • Ebony & Palissandro for the fingerboard
FENDER:


  • Ontano & Ash (Telecaster) for the body (Mogany in alternative)
  • Maple for the neck
  • Palissandro for the fingerboard
IBANEZ:

  • Linden for the body
  • Maple for the neck
  • Ebony & Palissandro for the fingerboard
Personally, more I write articles on the guitars and more comes me wants to play!!!

Why choose Maple Wood for your guitar?

February 8th, 2008

Quick View Full Post (372 words) (1 image)


Hi my friends,
today I would want to speak to you of the use of the maple wood in liuteria. Many of you know my personnel love for the Gibson guitars and particulary for the Les Paul Model, of which have treated more times on this blog.. do you remember posts about serial number between 1952 and today? A lot of things are changed since then, but the constructive techniques of the Les Paul has nearly been unchanged. In particolar way the use that they makes about their woods and the combining among mahogany and maple. Gibson guitars are built in mahogany. Body and neck. The curved top is realized in maple because the combination of these two types of woods is the best that you can find out in your electric guitar. If it is a Les Paul, it is better than the rest !!!! Not by chance, their principal slogan is "Only a Gibson is Good Enough".This slogan was used on decals between 1944 and 1946, when it was abandoned because of a rather aggressive Epiphone ad campaign that touted its instruments for "When Good Enough Isn’t Good Enough."

We can find this slogan on gold decal on headstock: Gibson black on gold banner.


Tthe maple is a dense wood, very compact. The compactness of the maple makes it very heavy and strong; in fact it is never used for the whole construction of a body, but is often used for the construction of the Top. Treating itself of a very compact wood, the maple it favorably rebroadcasts the middle-acute frequencies. Sees the rigidity of the material it has a middle-low sustain on the acute frequencies. It has of the very evident and beautiful veins and a very clear color that it is lent a lot to transparent colorings. In the essences more appreciated is used as a real ornament (flamed, guilted, etc..). After the paintings introduces uproarious zones of clear dark color.. Maple is primarily used for the realization of the necks and, on the guitars more appreciated, of the Top on the body. In the next posts I will show you some of these aesthetical variations of the maple.
More news soon..

So, stay tuned!! Your, Smash!

Tonight I'm feeling in scifi mode, and I discovered a new blog about Galactica. It's scifigalactica and I just thinking that I can’t wait the premiere of the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica. Galactica will return on April 4th and will run for 10 episodes. And that is the final season :( My guess is that they would go on with other 2 or 3 season. If Lost is a neverending serie, I guess that there's more to say in Galactica. Not only talking about the war against Cylon, but the real Origin of Cylon soldier that is different from what we are accustomed to thinking. Speack about, a reference you can find in the original Battlestar Galactica series 1978, in wich Captain Apollo speacking with Booxie tell him about real nature of cylon. So if you don't remeber this episode, maybe it's worth seeing 'cause in there it's the key to understand the entire saga.

For the first time in Marshall Amplification's 34 year history, an amp will be made bearing a signature in addition to Jim Marshall's-introducing the JCM Slash (of Gun's 'n' Roses and Slash's Snakepit fame) Signature model. The JCM Slash Signature model is an authentic reissue of the Marshall amp Slash has sworn-by since day one, the Jubilee 2555 100 Watt head. Slash commented, "This is the amp that has made six pretty successful albums, done countless sessions, survived two riots, three world tours and my inflexible approach to a specific sound. It's been flawless the entire time and I wouldn't even consider trying anything else-something that consistent, you just don't #!*$ with." The classic 2555 Jubilee head was released in 1987 to celebrate Jim Marshall's 50th year in the music business, as well as the 25th Anniversary of his company. This reissue will only be custom built during 1996 and features specially selected quality components plus a hand-built inter-leaved output transformer.

The JCM Slash Signature Limited Edition comes complete with a manual with forewords written by both Jim Marshall and Slash, a certificate of authenticity, complimentary footswitch and a custom snakeskin style cover featuring Jim's and Slash's signatures. Specially made angled (1960ASL) and straight front (1960BSL) 4×12 cabinets loaded with Celestion "Vintage 30" speakers are also available in these snakeskin style signature covers.

The class A all-tube amp (3×12AX7s, 4xEL34s) successfully combines the power of the Marshall JCM 800 Series with a highly versatile pre-amp that includes a footswitchable “Lead Master” control, effectively making it a very usable two channel head. This enables the user to switch instantly between rhythm and lead tones with a mere tap of the foot.

The Marshall Jubilee’s Series Effects loop also enhances the amp’s versatility. In addition, a push/pull function on the Input Gain control (when “pulled out”) adds a light but effective distorted edge to the amp’s rhythm tone. A High Output (100 Watt ) and Low Input (50 Watts) switch on the front panel and a DI jack on the back adds superb versitility.

Recording Guitars: Miking Acoustics, Part 2

February 5th, 2008

Quick View Full Post (1150 words) (1 image)


Click here to read Miking Acoustics, Part 1.

Last installment we examined a few basic one-mic techniques for recording acoustic guitar. This week, let’s investigate some more involved multi-mic techniques. As with recording guitar amps, you can often achieve a broader, more multi-dimensional sound from an acoustic by carefully positioning more than one microphone. Be aware, however, that two mics are not always better than one: in some cases you might want the straightforward, less harmonically saturated (less “frequency range-dominating,” if you will) sound of just a single microphone, when you want to have a driving acoustic rhythm guitar part in a busy mix where other sounds are more prominent, for example. With that in mind, if you want to coax the richest, deepest, most “in-the-room” acoustic guitar sounds onto your recording, you will often turn to two mics to do it. Here are some techniques to try out:

Spaced Stereo Pair: This sounds pretty obvious, but there are some pretty huge variables depending upon what tones your acoustic guitar generates from different vantage points, sonically speaking (refer to Miking Acoustics Part 1 for more detail on this). Basically, for this technique you use two of the same mics (or at least very similar, if that’s all you’ve got) positioned about a foot back from the guitar, and three feet apart. Placing them in this three-to-one relationship, ie three times as far from each other as they are from the sound source, helps to minimize phase cancellation between the mics. This technique can yield a broad and fairly realistic stereo image, although it can sometimes result in the feeling of there being a “hole in the middle” of the sonic picture, depending how wide you pan them in the mix. Our next technique seeks to eliminate that …




XY Pair: Also called Coincident Pair, this technique involves placing two identical microphones—usually cardiod mics—with their capsules (their sound-receiving ends) as close together as possible without touching, but at right angles, so that the mic on the left is aiming across toward the right of the sound source, and the right microphone is aiming toward the left side of the sound source. As such, the mics are positioned in a “Y” pattern (with the base of the “Y” pointing toward the sound source), and capturing a sound source that crosses over to them in an “X” pattern. This might seem an odd configuration, but it can be very effective at creating a realistic stereo image that has no “hole” in the middle.
Mid-Side Pair: This is an interesting technique that can yield a broad, full stereo image. It requires either two microphones with figure-eight patterns (that is, which receive sound equally from in front or behind their capsules), or one figure-eight and one cardioid, along with some know-how regarding how you record and/or mix the signals. Although it uses two microphones, the M-S Pair technique results in three signals, two from the figure-eight side mic, split far left and far right, with one reverse-phase of the other to create a perfect stereo image, and one from the mid mic, placed center to “fill in the hole” without any phase cancellation. Place the figure-eight mic (or one of two) side-on to a sonically desirable point on the acoustic guitar, a slight distance away.  Place the second, or the cardioid mic, with the capsule as close to the first (side) mic as you can get it, without touching, and aiming straight at the sound source. Now, this technique requires more than just positioning, so here’s what you do next:


If you are recording into a digital audio workstation (DAW) that has an M-S Decoder insert, which many do, simply record the side mic to one side of a stereo channel and the mid mic to the other. Bring up your decoder insert, and it will split the figure-eight mic L-R, reversing the phase of one, and place your mid mic center. Boom—big stereo image. If you’re recording the old fashioned way, split the signal of your mid mic to two channels on your mixer or mic preamp, reverse the phase of one, and patch these two to your recording device, later to be panned L-R in the mix. Record the mid mic straight to one channel, and position it in the middle. Note that you can adjust the width of the stereo field by bringing the L-R channels further toward or away from center, but if you bring them entirely to center their signals disappear completely, because the reverse-phase images cancel either other out. The mid mic sound remains, however. It’s a fascinating and rather complex sonic phenomenon, and one worth exploring.
Dual Mono Pair: Strictly speaking, a true stereo image should capture identical left and right images of a sound source, as the above techniques do. If you use two different mics, and or place two mics in very different and unequal positions around the sound source, you aren’t really recording in stereo, but in dual mono. Which is not to rule out such a technique at all, because doing so can often yield great results. Consider that an acoustic guitar produces very different tones from different parts of its body and neck anyway, as discussed last time, and it’s clear that you might get some interesting results from placing different mics at different points around the guitar and either blending them entirely together in mono, or positioning them L-R to some degree across the field. Look back at the single-mic positions I discussed in Miking Acoustics Part 1 and consider that you can use a combination of any two of these. Even when used in “pseudo stereo”—that is, two differently recorded points of the guitar panned in stereo—you can often yield a big and sonically pleasing sound from this technique. Of course you need to be aware of phase cancellation issues with such techniques, and do what you can to minimize them.




Corner Loading: This one was passed along to me by my recording-engineer friend Huw Price, who is also the author of Recording Guitar & Bass (Backbeat Books), which carries a wealth of information on these subjects, rendered in greater detail than we have space for here. A reflective corner—you’ll find plenty in your own house, apartment or studio—naturally emphasizes the low frequencies of any sound played into it. Sit with your guitar aiming into such a corner, and place two identical or similar mics, one either side of your (or the guitarist’s) head, also aiming into the corner. Play, record, and check out the full, rich sound it captures. You can also use this technique with just one mic for a fat-bottomed mono recording.
Try these out and discover which might work for you. Tweak them, experiment, invent your own radical—or super-simple—mic techniques. Whatever works, works.

Swedish progressive metal Opeth, often credited as being forward thinkers who are a genre of one, are proud to announce "Watershed" as the title of their forthcoming album, due out on Roadrunner Records on June 3, 2008.

Watershed, recorded in Sweden and produced by Mikael Akerfeldt and Jens Bogren, is a masterwork that follows the time-honored Opeth tradition; it's modern yet timeless, progressive yet paying homage to the sounds of classic rock. Watershed is truly one of those special records that cycles through a variety of moods, speeds and textures, complete with lots of subtleties and nuances of sound. Because of its expansive scope, Watershed is destined to land the album atop many "Best of 2008" lists. Album opener "Coil" is a gorgeous acoustic number, featuring local folk vocalist Nathalie Lorichs, while "Heir Apparent" will knock listeners unconscious with its blunt force metal. "Porcelain Heart" is an epic, thanks to its quiet-loud dynamic structure. Always one to defy the rules, Opeth posits sung vocals over artillery-like blast beats on "The Lotus Eater," cementing their reputation as innovators and redefiners.

Your Gibson May Help to Provide Forestry Jobs in Poverty.


Signs of impoverishment dot the landscape of La Moskitia, a region that covers most of northeast Honduras. Houses are wooden shacks supported by stilts, and farm animals roam freely on unpaved streets. Many of the region's people sustain themselves with forestry and logging work in the nearby rainforest. It's a problematic occupation, as laws protecting the rainforest have precipitated an illegal mahogany trade, which in addition to ravaging the environment is filled with physical hazards of its own.

Enter the Rainforest Alliance. Headquartered in New York and active in more than 50 countries, one of the Alliance's many aims is to protect the world's rainforests—and the species that thrive within them. The Alliance also works to improve the fortunes of people who depend on the rainforests for their livelihoods.

The Rainforest Alliance has been working with Gibson since 1996, when the corporation became the first musical instrument company to produce guitars using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified wood. In fact, Gibson Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz has been a committed member of the Rainforest Alliance's Board of Directors for many years, and in 2006, 42 percent of the wood bought by Gibson USA came from regions that were either FSC-certified or working toward such certification. In the next five years Gibson intends to increase that amount to at least 80 percent.

In the case of Honduras, the Rainforest Alliance is alleviating forestry-related problems with a program called TREES (Training, Research, Extension, Education, and Systems). The program is designed to create incentives for loggers to harvest wood in a manner that sustains the rainforests while at the same time reaping financial benefit for inhabitants of the region. In conjunction with the FSC, the Rainforest Alliance is rewarding forestry workers for harvesting wood in accordance with formally certified standards. One such logger recently told the weekly newspaper, Honduras This Week: "We used to throw everything on the ground, but now we pack up our trash and go back to pick up what we find that wasn't ours. We replant after cutting, which we didn't do before, and we don't clear-cut a whole area. Things are going well for us. There's no longer any reason to cut illegally."


Representatives of the Rainforest Alliance have trained—and continue to train—workers in Honduras's village sawmills to mill mahogany to Gibson's specifications. Wood pieces that previously would have been discarded are now milled for guitar neck stock, and the yield from every mahogany tree is maximized.

The Alliance works diligently to facilitate direct communication between Gibson and organized worker-cooperatives that are committed to the TREES program.

"When you're certified, you can make business with any part of the world," says Richard Woods, the vice president of one such cooperative, speaking to Honduras This Week. "You make better money because they pay better, and you get business with any company because they all, in Honduras too, want to buy certified wood."

The "better money" Woods alludes to is in reference to the financial premium companies such as Gibson offer for wood that's certified. Gibson routinely pays nearly four times the going rate for such wood in the world markets, which in effect erases the lucrative nature of the illegal mahogany trade. One could argue, however, that the additional cost isn't a premium at all, but rather the true value of conducting business in a way that sustains an environment necessary to conduct business. Being a good steward—and lifting up formerly impoverished world citizens—is its own reward. In the long run, it makes good business sense as well.

"As these big players in the paper and musical instrument industries are showing, large companies are taking sustainability seriously and considering the long-term environmental, social, and economic implications of their sourcing strategies," Rainforest Alliance Executive Director Tensie Whelan said. "Buying wood products from FSC-certified forestlands supports forestry operations that manage their land responsibly, conserves bio-diversity, and curbs deforestation."

In regards to the impact the Rainforest Alliance has had on the citizens of Honduras, that story continues to unfold. Positive effects are becoming readily apparent. Participating communities have invested earnings from the sale of certified wood towards improving schools and upgrading drinking water systems. Publicity surrounding the project has even triggered a spike in tourism, and in fact enterprising artisans in the region have begun using certified wood to craft souvenirs for such visitors.

"The No.1 thing to achieve all the project's objectives is for the groups who are involved to become fully integrated with one another and in the community," says timber industry specialist Rene Lara, a Rainforest Alliance member who's worked in forests in Honduras for three decades. "That is the key. There is unity in strength."

Marshall Introduces The Limited Edition MG15MSZW Zakk Wylde Microstack

Marshall Amplification introduces the Limited Edition Zakk Wylde Microstack.

Marshall founder, Dr. Jim Marshall, in his own words:

"Zakk is not only a fantastic ambassador for Marshall Amplification but also a great friend of mine.. It was over a few whiskeys with Zakk that I came up with the idea of creating a microstack for him and I enjoyed watching my design team customize its finish to fit Zakk's inimitable image."

Zakk comments:  "Whenever I'm onstage with Black Label Society I run my Marshall 'Wall of Doom.' And whenever I'm warming up backstage or practicing on the bus I plug into my Microstack, which sounds totally slamming."

Specs:

Based on the MG15MSII Microstack — Zakk's longtime practice amplifier of choice — this new signature microstack offers Marshall-size tone in a compact form sharing the unmistakable look of Zakk's trademark Marshall "Wall of Doom" he uses whenever he plays live.

Measures:

Measuring a mere 37"H x 15"W x 9"D, the 2-channel (Clean & Overdrive), 15-Watt head powers two 1×10" speaker cabinets, one straight and one slanted, for that classic Marshall stack look. Zakk's trademark look include bull's-eye motifs on the front-panel along with authentic TV grill cloth and gold piping (see the photo above), topped off by gold-brushed Marshall logos on the head and speaker cabinets.

Controls panel include:

  • Clean Volume
  • Overdrive Gain
  • Overdrive Volume
  • Reverb level, as well as a 3-way EQ network with controls for Bass,
  • Contour and Treble.
The amp features Marshall's proprietary FDD™ (Frequency Dependent Damping) circuitry, which accurately mimics the interaction of a tube amp's power stage with the loudspeakers it is driving. Additionally, the new microstack boasts a CD input, an Emulated Line Out and a Headphone jack that, when used, mutes the speakers, for "silent" practice sessions (a feature Wylde never uses!).

Gibson Replicates Jimmy Page's Les Paul

February 2nd, 2008

Quick View Full Post (427 words) (1 image)


(Click for a close-up)
Well..

today you  can find out news about the new line scheduled by Gibson Custom about the first Jimmy Page's Les Paul Signature (1959 Model).

New from Gibson's Custom, Art & Historic division is a Jimmy Page signature model that replicates the unique neck shape and custom electronics of Page's favorite guitar. "Les Paul #1," as the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer calls his personal guitar, is a 1959 sunburst Gibson Les Paul that he bought from Joe Walsh in the early 1970s.

The neck of Page's guitar is thick at the nut and at the neck heel, like a typical 1959 Les Paul, but it tapers to a super-slim depth in the middle. It was that way when Page acquired it, and he hasn't changed it. He did make two other modifications: He put a push/pull pot in the rear volume control that reverses the phase, in order to get a tone like Peter Green or B.B. King. And he replaced the original tuners with sealed, gold-plated Grovers to achieve the exact tuning and sensitivity of the Les Paul Custom he had been playing with Led Zeppelin.

SPECIAL PAGE'S LES PAUL FINISH:

The special Page 'Burst finish is also unique to the new model, and the authentic look will be further enhanced on 150 Limited Edition Aged Jimmy Page Les Pauls with custom aging by renowned luthier Tom Murphy, followed by an unlimited run with the Custom Authentic treatment.

OHSC & CARE KIT:

The Jimmy Page Les Paul comes with a historic Les Paul case and custom care kit.



Page has a long affiliation with the Les Paul. His legendary hard rock riffs, first with the Yardbirds and later with Led Zeppelin, were a forerunner to the heavy metal genre, although he refused to be classified. He also wrote or co-wrote many of Zeppelin's classic songs and produced their albums. The Yardbirds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, while Led Zeppelin was honored back in 1995.

JUST FOR YOUR CURIOSITY (IMPORTANT):

Two of the first 25 guitars from the Gibson Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul Model series have reportedly sold for over $50.000, more than double its list price.

The guitar series, produced by Gibson's Custom, Art & Historic Division replicates the exact ewar and tear, along with the unique neck shape of Page's "Number One", a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard. In addition to Number One, he also has #1 of the new series, so the limited-run guitars are numbered 2-26.

"Gibson's Custom, Art & Historic division and legendary rock guitarist Slash have teamed up to bring a new acoustic personality to the sunburst Les Paul Standard that Slash was so closely identified with as a member of the group Guns 'N Roses.

This happened when Gibson & Slash they met back in January 26, 2004 and they decided to start the production of the new Slash's signature.

Additional features of the Slash Les Paul that reflect his personal preferences include a slim-taper neck with a "Slash custom" profile, a Custom Authentic aging treatment on the Dark Tobacco 'Burst finish and nickel-plated hardware and Schaller tuners. A mini 3-way switch controls selection between acoustic and electric pickups. The guitar comes with a Custom Shop Les Paul case and Custom care kit.

Radically changed since Slash's original signature model in the late '90s, this Les Paul has the Custom Authentic finish, a special treatment that gives it the patina of a gently-aged vintage guitar. The Fishman Powerbridge adds huge potential for tonal enhancement and sparkling rhythm parts. Slash custom profile neck for unbelievable speed and comfort.

  • Carved maple top
  • Solid mahogany back

Agalloch

Despite their style being firmly grounded in the dark metal genre, Agalloch has always been a band who prefers experimentation over settling on a niche. The result has been three full-lengths and a handful of EPs that have bridged the gap between gothic doom, black metal, neo-folk, post rock, and industrial/ambient soundscapes. The band has earned a rabid cult following over the years due in part to their artistic & independent attitude, elusive aura, and scarce but volatile live performances.

Four years after their critically acclaimed sophomore effort "The Mantle", Agalloch delivers their new album, "Ashes Against The Grain". Always progressing, but never losing touch with their dark metal roots, the band's third album unites elements of black metal, Scandinavian prog, and post-rock with the band's signature brooding style.

Agalloch hails from Portland, Oregon - in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.

U2’s the Edge visits New Orleans and stresses the importance of the Gulf Coast’s rich musical heritage. Learn all about Music Rising and how you can help!
Following a recent visit to New Orleans, U2’s the Edge announced the unveiling of Music Rising (Nov. 21), a campaign to raise funds to replace the lost instruments and accessories of the musicians affected by the hurricanes that devastated the Gulf Coast region two months ago. Lead partners Gibson Guitar and Guitar Center music foundation have spearheaded the initial effort by collaborating on the design, manufacture and sale of an exclusive Gibson guitar with all proceeds going directly to the Music Rising program.

The guitar, available through Guitar Center, captures the essence of the Gulf Coast’s musical tradition. A very limited quantity will be produced with all proceeds benefiting Music Rising and a pledge of $1 million in support. The Gibson Music Rising guitar features hand-painted designs using the colors of Mardi Gras. Each guitar will be individually painted and handmade so no two will be alike. All of the usual plastic parts (back plate, pick guard, toggle cover, truss rod cover) have been replaced by woods from the states affected by the hurricanes and the Music Rising logo, exclusive to this guitar, is etched into the pick guard. The Music Rising guitar is priced at $3,334.00 and is available through Guitar Center beginning in late December. The Edge will appear in VH1 public service announcements for the program at the end of November.

The Edge visited New Orleans (Nov. 17) between U2’s current "Vertigo" tour dates in order to see the profound impact on the area firsthand and to spend time with local musicians, listening to their experiences and trying to understand their needs. During his stay, he toured several neighborhoods and struggling venues.

“My recent visit to New Orleans gave me a firsthand look at the devastation which tragically destroyed the lives of thousands. The area’s rich and spirited culture must be restored and can be by assisting those musicians affected by the disaster which in turn will bring back the essence of the region,” said Edge. “Providing replacement instruments through Music Rising will not only help the professional musicians to regain a foothold on their future, but will also ensure that one of the Gulf Coast’s greatest assets, its music, will rise again.”



Adding to the power of Music Rising, a group of industry partners have joined Gibson Guitar and Guitar Center in the effort. Participating partners include Conn-Selmer, VH1 and MTV Networks, Ticketmaster, and SpinCo (formerly Clear Channel Entertainment). These industry giants have pledged their support through both financial and media contributions and are setting the tone for support from the rest of the industry and music fans worldwide.

The Music Rising guitar is priced at $3,334.00 and is available through Guitar Center beginning in late December. The Edge will appear in VH-1 public service announcements for the program at the end of November. In addition to the purchase of the Music Rising guitar, interested supporters can make tax-deductible contributions to Music Rising at www.musicrising.org or by sending a check made payable to: Music Rising, c/o MusiCares Foundation, 3402 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90405.
