The New U2 Album In Beginning Of 2009:

We will soon have the successor to the album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Bono reveals in the official web page of the band that even though they believed they would have finished by now, there are still many things to attend to. The group is now recording and collaborating with such noted producers as Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite. The singer of the group also revealed that they already have 50 to 60 songs from which they will select the most suitable.

John Lennon’s Biographical Film In The Making:

It will be titled Nowhere Boy and the film is now in the pre-shoot preparation stage.  Sam Taylor-Wood is the director, produced by British Ecosse Films, with Matt Greenhalgh (Control) as the script writer. Nowhere Boy will focus on the childhood of the Beatles’ star but also on his course towards success. The shootings will take place in Lennon’s hometown, Liverpool, and casting for the selection of a suitable protagonist is now taking place.

Dear Science:

They return with their new disk the TV On The Radio, proving to us that all the enthusiastic comments they had received from the music press on their debut was not accidental. Dear Science is controlled by an atmosphere which keeps your interest undiminished from start to end.  Beyond its eclectic influences, the voice of singer Tunde Adebimpe relaxes you and lets you float. Post punk, post-rock, even trip-hop brush strokes make their appearance in a disk that will surely accompany us for a big part of this winter.

Thought So...

George Evelyn is behind the new album of the project Nightmares On Wax and it appears extremely feeble. It’s obvious – perhaps now more than ever - how important to the project was the contribution of Kevin Harper and Robin Taylor-Firth. The Thought So was written during the relocation of Evelyn to the hedonistic island of Ibiza, it is a particularly luminous disk and the pulsating atmosphere of the island probably had a certain effect on this work. The down tempo music is particularly palliative but so much so that this disk will have trouble getting off the ground.
