Well...the cold's not too much better. I'm surviving by the miracle of Alka-Seltzer Cold Medicine Plus - LiquiCaps. Those things rock for me.
I got out to see the first showing of The Passion of The Christ yesterday. I have my assessments of the film that are probably not popular. My primary feeling is that Gibson dropped the ball on the spiritual impact of the film. There are images of Satan throughout the film that are VERY effective thus conveying the underlying spiritual impact on the end result. However, the good spiritual content were sidestepped creating a lop sided feel. This inevitably deprives the viewer of a 'payoff' or, in this case, no reason for hope. That relegates the film into the realm of a two-hour shred-fest.
Is the film necessary? I think so. But without the proper sense of hope to accompany it, it falls short of being nothing more than a documentary view of the horrors visited upon Jesus. Regardless, the film is compelling however horrifying it may be. I am a little...no..a lot, miffed at the critics who decry the violence in this film and yet praised the buckets o' blood that spilled out of Kill Bill. It is a way to look at the films that seem popular at the moment...and no one critic really wants to look uncool. I'm done.
We have a few reviews for you this Friday. However, Duane's Pit Stop will not be seen again until next week. He has had problems with his computer, It's likely the same virus that has infiltrated my computer is now running amok on his. It slipped though on a musictap address. Damn virus writers.
We hope that Monday brings more news cuz we drained the news today.
Don't forget the reader reviews. If you have a single paragraph about a favourite current album that you have, share it with the world. Write me here and use READER REVIEW in the subject line.
I mentioned that Patti Smith's newest album, Trampin' would be arriving in a few months however it has completely disappeared off of the lists. I'm sure that it's still in the mix but just so that you know that it's probably being rescheduled. I'll keep you posted on it.
For those of you who want a little more info on the upcoming Geffen release of The Who's umpteenth 'best of', we have the following:
The album, The Who:Then and Now 1964 - 2004 will contain 18 familiar tunes with 2 brand new songs destined for the band's upcoming studio album. The new songs are called "Real Good Looking Boy" and "Old Red Wine" and will be padded with fan favourites I Can't Explain; My Generation; The Kids Are Alright; Substitute; I'm a Boy; Happy Jack; I Can See For Miles; Magic Bus; Pinball Wizard; See Me, Feel Me; Summertime Blues (live); Behind Blues Eyes; Won't Get Fooled Again; 5:15; Love, Reign O'er Me; Squeeze Box; Who Are You; and You Better You Bet. This collection will replace the previous collection, My Generation, so buy up if you can find it before its gone. This set will also be remastered from original masters. This may be true for some of the songs but Pete Townshend has publicly stated that he could not do a surround version of Who's Next because they are NOT in possession of the originals. Grain of salt, folks, grain of salt. This set is expected on March 30.
A 6-track EP first release by ex-Creeper Lagoon frontman, Ian Sefchick and his new band, On The Speakers, will release on April 6. The CD will be self-titled. The band has embarked on a large tour that began early February and will extend through April 30.
I don't know about you but I am definitely thirsting for a new Leonard Cohen set. What do you think? Just threw that out there.
April 6 is also the date for the release of The Essential Ike and Tina Turner. This collection will contain 2 CDs and will feature 28 songs that include "Nutbush City Limits"; the awesome "River Deep-Mountain High"; the fan favourite, "Proud Mary", and a bevy of spirituals and other hits. There will be extensive liner notes with the whole stuff remastered from original tapes.
10cc fans should be happy with this fairly exhaustive 2CD collection of songs that weaves throughout their catalog including rare cuts, DJ only cuts, B-Sides, and a mix of British only releases and will be known as 10cc: The Complete UK Recordings - 1972-1974. This album will contain great songs like "Rubber Bullets"; "Donna"; and "The Wall Street Shuffle" in various forms including British radio edits. Fun!
Trey Anastasio fans should be aware that a new CD is coming on April 6 from Elektra. The new album will be known as Seis De Mayo.
April 6 is also the date for a collection of The Bobby Fuller Four, featuring "I Fought The Law" and other songs.

This editor has got himself a cold that just doesn't want to give an inch. If it weren't for drugs, I'd be dead. It's a real humdinger so I'm going to make a quick thing of it and rest. Hang with me, folks. I'm leaving up this bit about DualDisc because of the volume of email that I received on the subject. It's interesting what you have to say about it so I'm giving more people the opportunity to comment in case they haven't read up yet.
I have reviews to post but am holding back so I can heal up this cold. Again, sorry...be back on Friday.
I received an email from a reader in Seattle who tells me about his experience with the new DualDisc that is starting to creep out. It was quite a detailed message although it went the distance in explanation and experience. Rather than tamper with the content, I've elected to stay with the original length. Here it is for your DualDisc edification:
"...exactly a DualDisc is and how it works. If any readers have any experience with one, let us know."
DualDisc was test marketed in Seattle and Boston recently. I live in one of the test markets and here's my experience.
I'll split this into Part 1 and Part 2:
Part 1: In the Store
I spotted a tri-sided display at the end of an aisle up near the front of the store, with a silouette of a head and a picture of an eye and an ear and the exclamation "CD & DVD ON ONE DISC".
The racks attached to the display had several of the titles being tested. No Sheryl Crow, but I was mildly interested in David Bowie's "Reality" (not as good as "Heathen" IMO) so I picked it up and was pleased to find the DualDisc people are using some new fangled CD case, same size as a CD case, but with a really cool transparent latch on the right. Also the rightmost edge is softly curved. But essentially same size.
Once it was in my hand, I was approached by a man who had been standing a few rows away observing, and asked to take a ~7 page survey about what I had in my hand in exchange for five dollars. The survey was focused as much on what attracted me to the kiosk as the product itself. The survey then asked if I knew what I was buying, on a scale of Definately to Sort of. Did I understand what was on the DVD side (again on a sliding scale of understanding)? I had to be honest that I was not quite sure. Until I had it in my hand, for example, I assumed it was CD on one side, and DVD-A on the other. So I was and continue to be surprised that it is not.
The survey asked what kind of extras I wanted to see on the DVD side. Did I want concert footage? Sure. Did I want music videos? Maybe. Did I want multichannel music in high resolution? Absolutely (and in fact this seems to be one of the marketing angles for the DualDisc -- nearly every album had a sticker proclaiming the multichannel nature of the music on the DVD side). Did I want Rom materials for my computer or weblinks? Nope! Did I want nude picture of Avril Lavigne's bottom? Hell, yes (so sue me).
What made me want this product the most?
"I'm always looking for multichannel material, especially from current artists!" I wrote. (Nudge nudge - doing my part to get the labels to focus on multichannel mizes for music from recent decades rather than for only moldy oldies). I *expected* that the DualDisc's multichannel music would be what impressed me most.
And with that, I was given an evelope with five dollars inside. Total cost for my dual disc? $16.99 list on sale for $12.88 minus $5 for taking the survey. Good deal.
Part 2: At Home -
I've listened to the DualDisc of David Bowie's "Reality" now, and watched it. I am impressed. I am convinced that this is may be the easiest way for artists who have an interest in elaborate (but perhaps unmarketable) music videos to easily get their videos out to fans.
Having both the multichannel album and the videos on the same DVD side of the disc really "empowers" my computer (playing on the DVD drive of my computer through to my monitor and surround receiver). It's like the concept of "album" now means "a database of the album and some really neat films." I could see where I'd get a DualDisc from artists who are really into video, like David Bowie or Kate Bush or whomever (guess my age).
As for the sound quality, I felt that the 5.1 multichannel was not as deep and rich an experience as a real SACD or DVDA disc. It sounded like a CD but with multichannel. I've heard rumors that on many of these DualDiscs so far they kept the sound quality of the 5.1 mix down to "just slightly better than CD quality" so as to leave room for the video materials, and perhaps to discourage theft of the digital audio.
Therefore if I only cared about the music, I'd prefer to buy a multichannel SACD. The multichannel audio on the DualDisc's DVD side just wasn't high fidelity enough...once you've heard SACD you don't want to regress to anything less excellent!
So the audio wasn't that impressive. I still loved the product. Why?
The video material on this particular disc is an extensive - and extremely good - long form music video (about a half hour in length), very surreal and trippy. This film portion wasn't in 5.1, it was just Dolby Surround, and that was actually fine. The video impressed me more than I expected.
Part 3: Conclusion -
In the days after the DualDisc experiment began in Boston, one particular DualDisc was sold out at every store involved in the test. That disc was David Bowie's Reality. The other artists' discs seem to have sold about half their stock, which is probably a sucesss. Why was Bowie's disc a huge success while the others were only moderately succesful?
They all (I think) touted their multichannel audio, as they should. So what was different about the Bowie disc?
Probably the fact that Bowie is an artist who is as focused on video as audio. And his disc reflected that, with a half hour music video. Fantastic. Trippy.
And recognizably not the kind of thing that could be sold seperately with any confidence on the part of the label. Now at last there may be an official conduit to get otherwise-unmarketable video material into fans hands!
I don't expect I'll ever play the CD side of the DualDisc, but if it helps the labels change over from CD to a better format, good!
However, the multichannel mix needs to be in much higher resolution, or else the need for SACD (or DVDA) will continue.
Thanks to Will Bueche for his observations. MusicTAP hasn't had any experience with DualDiscs ourselves but we'll be sure to pass along the info when we do.
We want to wish Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash a GREAT BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Good goin' there, guy.
We'll be back tomorrow with more.
Don't forget the reader reviews. If you have a single paragraph about a favourite current album that you have, share it with the world. Write me here and use READER REVIEW in the subject line.
Now I know you Kraftwerk fans are out there..so how 'bout this little tidbit?! Virgin and Astrelwerks will join together to re-release 4 classic Kraftwerk albums. The albums will be Autobahn; The Man Machine; Trans Europe Express; and Radioactivity. These discs will drop into stores on April 6. "She's a model and it's understood..."
March 23 is the release date set for The Vines' Winning Days. Here's the cover shot for you:
We'll get more out to you but this boy needs some rest for now.
The Wallflowers' Red Letter Days, as a Hybrid SACD makes it back onto the calendar for an April 27 street date. [02/25]
Hey...we got us a new SACD to announce. On April 6, you'll be able to purchase Dangerously in Love, the 2003 release from Beyonce. This will issue as a Hybrid MultiChannel. A release like this is juts what is necessary to help push the format, no doubt. Good call, Columbia, good call.
Jive Records will release R.Kelly's Chocolate Factory as a DVD-Audio on April 20 as well as Britney Spear's In the Zone on April 20. [02/24]
February 24, 2004
Not a whole heck of a lot going on today but we do have some nice info, especially if you're a Patti Smith fan. Regular readers will remember some time back, we reported that Patti Smith has left the home of Arista and has come to roost with Columbia Records. Now that's a welcome change for me since Arista has become quite a different label since Patti Smith's early days. And I was afraid that Patti was finished when she released Lands, her compilation of music released by Arista. Check out below for the release info.

Columbia Records has announced the impending release of Patti Smith's newest work, Trampin'. This release will also be released on vinyl. It looks like it may be released in two CD formats, perhaps a limited edition but I'll get that clarified for you. In any case, this new Patti Smith effort will release on April 20. Mark it on your calendar.
Our friends at Shout! Factory have prepared a Pretty Things 'best of' for fans on April 20. The album will be titled The Best of The Pretty Things. We're always keeping an eye on what May and Co. have been doing so this release is a positive for old-timers and nostalgia. Be sure to keep an eye out for the Slade issues also from Shout! Factory.
Legacy and Columbia team up to re-release 2000's The Complete Miles Davis featuring John Coltrane on April 20.
Legacy will also release The John Barry Collection on May 18. An excellent piece of news. Additionally, Legacy will reissue Dances With Wolves and The Chase, also on May 18.
How about some more Joe Satriani? We could always use more of that. Epic Records will issue his Is There Love in Space? on April 13. Mark it.
Shout! Factory will issue a 'best of' for Bobbie Gentry on April 13. The album will be called Chickasaw County Child: The Artistry of Bobbie Gentry. You'll remember her largely from "Ode to Billie Joe" which was also a movie based on the song.
The missing The Essential Bangles reappear on the horizon for a March 30 release.
On the new release front, Serjical Strike (boutique label for Serj from System of a Down) in conjuction with Columbia Records, will release Lynch the Weirdo from Bad Acid Trip on April 20.
Epic Records and Legacy will issue Aldo Nova's self-titled on April 13.
This is just in from Rounder Records: Juliana Hatfield's newest, In Exile Deo, will be made available to fans on May 18. The album will contain 13 songs and will be produced by Hatfield herself.
Tears for Fears' upcoming album, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending gets put into 'wheneverland'. Watch for new release dates as they become available. This one has been a ping pong ball.
Hey...we got us a new SACD to announce. On April 6, you'll be able to purchase Dangerously in Love, the 2003 release from Beyonce. This will issue as a Hybrid MultiChannel. A release like this is juts what is necessary to help push the format, no doubt. Good call, Columbia, good call.
Jive Records will release R.Kelly's Chocolate Factory as a DVD-Audio on April 20 as well as Britney Spear's In the Zone on April 20.
Jackson Browne's delayed DVD-Audio of Running on Empty gets what is seemingly the final date for it's release. The new date is April 20. The 5.1 Surround mix will be available in 96kHz/24bit while the Stereo mix will be available in a spacious 192kHz/24bit. Also on the set will be over 300 photos and a 10-minute instrumental medley as bonuses. Browne's The Naked Ride Home is still expected to become available as a DVD-Audio as well, perhaps on the same day since it is not long after Jackson Browne's induction into the Hall of Fame.
February 23, 2004
As if I didn't have enough issues with my software preferences, I go and snag myself a virus. Now, I don't know how or what..but I can tell you this, it attached to my explorer.exe, which is integrated in your Windows as the taskbar. What happened is that this virus ran over 100 instances of something causing explorer.exe to utilize 99% of my resources. That disallowed me access to any program and made a startup/shutdown to occur in hours rather than seconds. Bummer! But Man o'er Machine...and a basketful of luck gave me the tools to beat it.
I apologize for the missed Friday post. If some of you visit both TAP and Digital Bits, then you were aware of my problem. Time to move on to better things, namely release news. Ohh, one more thing. We're putting up links for some of these upcoming releases to give you a chance to pre-order them. Let me know if they're helpful.
Watch this week for the return of John Dunphy with a new The John Dunphy Experience.
And here we go..with some interesting news for the lot of ya including some hi-rez news. I've even thrown in a review of Peter Allen's recently released The Boy From Down Under: The Very Best of Peter Allen. Peter Allen was able to entertain by song and on stage. His shows were extraordinary and left lasting impressions for those who were able to see one. His songs aren't for everybody but if you were a fan of Boz Scaggs and Burt Bacharach and haven't heard Peter Allen, now's the time.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Don't forget the reader reviews. If you have a single paragraph about a favourite current album that you have, share it with the world. Write me here and use READER REVIEW in the subject line.
Sanctuary has a few numbers for the calendars. We'll start this one with a debut by Jack Blades with a self-titled release expected on April 6. They continue with a Dokken issue called Hell to Pay that's expected on April 20.
Here's an interesting one for KISS fans. Gene Simmons issues his next solo effort with the strange..but not unexpected title of Asshole. You can pick this one up on April 20, also from Sanctuary Records.
Sanctuary's Castle imprint has the 5CDTangerine Dream set call Bootleg Box Set, Volume 2 coming on April 6.
Sanctuary, via its Rough Trade imprint will issue The Veils' latest on April 20. The album will be known as The Runaway Found.
Warrant fans will be happy to see that Legacy and Columbia will revamp two of their classic albums. The albums getting the workover will be Cherry Pie and Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. Both of these albums will be released on April 13.
Last week, we talked about a new Eric Clapton album, Me and Mr Johnson, coming on March 30. This album contains 14 of Johnson's 29 recorded tunes, of which there are precious few as it is. However, to hear ole Slowhand do 'em as we know he can is a mega-treat. Here's the song list for blues fans and RJohnson fans:
When You Got a Good Friend
Little Queen of Spades
They're Red Hot
Me and The Devil Blues
Traveling Riverside Blues
Last Fair Deal Gone Down
Stop Breakin' Down Blues
Milkcow's Calf Blues
Kind Hearted Woman Blues
Come On in My Kitchen
If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day
Love in Vain
32-20 Blues
Hell Hound On My Trail
Clapton is joined by super session greats, Doyle Bramhall II, Andy Fairweather Low, and Billy Preston. There is even probability that this work will be issued as a DVD-Audio although I haven't heard anything other than the rumour.
We also mentioned the upcoming Lou Reed 2CD live album, Animal Serenade. This album was recorded at the Wiltern Theatre in LA after a concluded European tour. The album provides a 30 year overview of Reed classics that begin from the Velvet Underground days to cuts from his most recent works. There are 20 songs in all including "Heroin"; "Venus in Furs"; "Candy Says"; and "Street Hassle." This album is being released on March 23. We don't have a colour shot of the artwork but enjoy the B/W shot for now. Hey...how about this idea? Why not make a collection of live perfromances that are actual recordings scattered through out Lou's lengthy career. Now THAT would be a tremendous treat...if you ask me. Imagine..3CD full of VU thorough the current with performances from tours that supported the songs. I'll buy!
The upcoming Jackson Browne 2CD, The Very Best of Jackson Browne, expected on March 16, will host 32 classic tunes from the master. Browne fans will be pleased to have a complete and comprehensive collection of all their favourites in one set. This collection will be packaged as a 6 panel digipak and will come from . MusicTAP congratulates Jackson Browne for his induction into the Hall of Fame.
Come back tomorrow for the rundown on the Depeche Mode Boxes.
Jackson Browne's delayed DVD-Audio of Running on Empty gets what is seemingly the final date for it's release. The new date is April 20. The 5.1 Surround mix will be available in 96kHz/24bit while the Stereo mix will be available in a spacious 192kHz/24bit.

The new songs are called "Real Good Looking Boy" and "Old Red Wine" and will be padded with fan favourites I Can't Explain; My Generation; The Kids Are Alright; Substitute; I'm a Boy; Happy Jack; I Can See For Miles; Magic Bus; Pinball Wizard; See Me, Feel Me; Summertime Blues (live); Behind Blues Eyes; Won't Get Fooled Again; 5:15; Love, Reign O'er Me; Squeeze Box; Who Are You; and You Better You Bet. This collection will replace the previous collection, My Generation, so buy up if you can find it before its gone. This set will also be remastered from original masters. This may be true for some of the songs but Pete Townshend has publicly stated that he could not do a surround version of Who's Next because they are NOT in possession of the originals. Grain of salt, folks, grain of salt. This set is expected on March 30.
