A Faithless
New DVD:

Warner Music entertainment announced the future release of a new DVD with live material by Faithless. They are one of the few groups which are in position to circulate successful dance disks and at the same time showcase impressive lives.  Faithless have until now headlined some of the biggest festivals around the world, while in 2007 they began to fill entire stadiums! The new DVD will include the concert they did at the B1 Maximum Venue in 2007 in Moscow, during the first Smirnoff Experience. Their live was also accompanied by the Musica Viva Chamber orchestra under the direction of Matthew Scott, and included a variety of songs from all five of their albums.


U2 Purse Affected By Economic Crisis:


The construction of the tallest building in Dublin, as planned by U2, was postponed due to the economic crisis. Those in charge of the project stated that hopefully building plans will be put back on track in the next 12 months. The winning architectural drawings (in three competitions) were the impressive designs by Norman Foster from Britain. The construction, expected to cost round 200 million euros, will be the tallest building in the city, with more than 180 apartments and a sale price of one million euros for each. U2 are themselves among the richest residents in Ireland with many other investments throughout the country.


The Bootleg Series, Vol.8
Tell Tale Signs:

Rare And Unreleased.
A small diamond is added to the pile that Bob Dylan has already given us. The Tell Tale Signs assembles in two CDs some rare and not-yet circulated songs of the last two decades, and tries to touch every fanatical collector of the singer’s works.  Other than the new pieces, there is a tremendous interest in releases of the artist’s older material. It’s an important collection for a man legend. 


Paperwork:


Particularly strange is the new album of Volcano!, the band from Chicago that has already given us Beautiful Seizure in 2005. Their sound mixes elements of classic rock with post-punk, free jazz and noise rock, obviously revealing the different influences to the group. Beyond their wide range, the strongest points of Volcano! are the vocals of front-man Aaron With, that bring to mind Muse’s falsettos and the theatricality of other big artists. Paperwork is a rough album, wild and surprising. In order to familiarize yourself with it, press the repeat button many times and if you manage to love it, it will pay you back in kind.
