GABE DIXON – ONE SPARK 2011
Aug 25, 2011 23:46
Melodic Rock | AOR
One Spark is set to release on the 23rd of August as the debut solo album from Gabe Dixon. Somewhat prolific in his career, he formed The Gabe Dixon Band, a quartet at the time, from Miami, in 1998 and has since went on to play for some time with Paul McCarneys band. In late 2010 he was then drafted to play with Supertramp, the British rock band who formed at the end of the 60s.
In producing this solo debut Gabe recruited several credible artists, writers and producers to collaborate with him including songwriter Tia Sillers, country/bluegrass icon Alison Krauss for 'Even The Rain' and Grammy Award winner Dan Wilson on “My Favorite”. An impressive entourage and degree of experience indeed, one which would theoretically suggest this debut solo album would reflect such experience. But this is not the case.
'One Spark' is Gabe's attempt at mature piano-pop, a genre populated with heavy-weight contenders like Elton John, The Beautiful South and Coldplay. Unlike anything from these heavy-weights, this record is pungent with teenage angst spilling into unbridled Cliché comprised almost entirely of one dimensional love songs causing each track flow into each other, giving the definition between tracks eminence only by a chintzy venture into reggae, clearly influenced by Sting and The Police, with 'Running On Fumes'.
One Spark has been co-written with former members of Deacon Blue and Snow Patrol. The influence from which is palpable. The mono-tempo throughout and choruses long-drawn on holding the last note feel both outdated and exasperating.
The album opens, putting it's best foot forward with “Strike”. The song sets the lyrical trend for the rest of the album where Gabe sings about “someone else”, each track throughout the record is about “you” and they all appear to say the same thing; “poor me, I love you”, but regardless of this solo dimensional rhetoric, it does slowly build up a picture of what Gabe Dixon himself is like.
Second song on the record 'Even The Rain' draws our expectations skyward towards a bluegrass vista being advertised as the duet with Alison Krauss. However, the song is more reminiscent of the unintelligible banality of hackneyed writing that fills love letters from teenagers; “even the rain is falling for you” ...yes, yes and even the sun shines out of your ass, cringe!
Redemption to a small degree is made on the final track 'Losing You', redemption not because the album is coming to a close but Gabe extends to the listener some deserved versatility. 'Losing You' breaks the mold of the album with some up-tempo electric guitar, more prominent drumming and cartoon spaceship sound effects, that's right, spaceship sound effects after the second chorus.
Musicianship is fair and mature but nothing especially challenging or original but some pleasant elements including a perky banjo walk throughout 'I Can See You Shine' that eventually becomes forgotten and suppressed by the lyrics.
Unimpressive throughout and completely lacks originality, possibly the result of the wide variety and amount of collaborators. Masses of collaboration often tend to draw music away from an edge towards the 'middle-of-the-road', hence, the music is left with elements of folk and pop, but not enough of either to be one or the other.

TOM WAITS – BAD AS ME 2011 (single)

All Exclusive Rock
Download Single For Promo Use Only
Turns out the title of Tom Waits' last all-original studio full-length, 2004's 'Real Gone,' was just a play on words. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has just hit back, dropping the single 'Bad as Me,' on iTunes today (Aug. 23).
Waits also revealed some bullet points concerning his upcoming release, also titled 'Bad as Me,' as well as the tracklist. The 13-song album (or 16, if you buy the deluxe edition) drops on Oct. 25 and is available for pre-order now.
Though he's been a musical chameleon over his legendary career, fans will be happy to hear that the sinister single isn't some gigantic departure. And while we might be the same kind of bad as Waits, we certainly can't claim to be anywhere near the same kind of bad-ass. Check out the tracklist and song below.

Fünfzehn Jahre Underground haben die Attic Demons hinter sich. Ihren Durchbruch sollen unter anderem Gastbeiträge von Ross The Boss und Paul Di'Anno nach vorn treiben. Man sollte meinen, die beiden haben mit ihrem eigenen Schaffen genügend Sorgen, denn schließlich kommen sie selbst nicht mehr aus dem Quark. Das Pure Steel Records Infoschreiben feiert die Portugiesen schon als Iron Maiden Nachfolger. Die Parallelen zu der Eisernen Jungfrau sind sicherlich vorhanden. In Sachen Qualität spielt man allerdings noch ein Paar Klassen tiefer.
Schon unglaublich, wie sehr Artur Almeida, der Sänger der Attic Demons, (nicht nach Bruce Dickinson, wie das Label behauptet, sondern...) nach Tobi Sammet klingt. Auch die Musik der Formation erinnert eher an härtere Edguy als an Steve Harris und seine Kumpanen. Edguy Kopien gibt es inzwischen wie Sand am Meer. Attic Demons fallen zwar ein wenig auf, denn sie sind härter als der Durchschnitt und machen ihre Sache ausgesprochen gut. Das ändert jedoch nichts daran, dass dieser Sound heutzutage kaum mehr als ein müdes Gähnen wert ist. Selbst die Originale erweitern ihren Horizont gen zeitlose Spielarten wie Hard Rock (im Falle Edguy) oder Classic Metal (wie es etwas etabliertere Kopisten tun). Immerhin, das Harockige kommt hier mit der NWOBHM, die sich ab und an zeigt. „City Of Golden Gates“ bringt dann endlich Maiden Einflüsse, was diesen wirklich gelungenen Song zu meinem Anspieltipp macht. Aber bereits „Sacrifice“ wirkt wieder wie ein Sinnbild für den seit Jahren andauernden Signingwahnsinn der Labels. Immerhin: „In Memoriam“ punktet noch einmal mit einer guten Atmosphäre, die letztendlich ein durchwachsenes Album mit ein paar guten Ansätzen zurück lässt.
