This will be preceeded by a single (title tbc) on 2nd September. Siberia is the crystallization of everything that has made the band so wonderful during their illustrious 26 year career. The single-minded powerhouse motif of Parthenon Drive recalls the sonically hypnotic Heaven Up Here album of 1981, Everything Kills You is as achingly anthemic as any of McCullochbs greatest ballads, Make Us Blind marries Spector pop sensibilities to brooding indie magnificence, while the title track is another classic-in-waiting; a semi-funk riff taken to dizzier heights by a top drawer Will Sergeant snake charmer guitar line. Explains McCulloch, bThe band webve got around us now are the closest to the old Bunnymen webve ever had. Not that webve intentionally set out to capture the past in any way. I think Ibd been trying to get away from the approach of Heaven Up Here or Porcupine where a lot of the songs were based on a single note, or a pulse even, but with this album I thought, letbs just slide in there and see what happens. It was Will, really, who reminded me that we used to do things more instinctively. Webve tried to be a little less structured in the songwriting, but not forgetting the importance of a good song. Webve got the balance here, I think.b One telling link to the past has been the recruiting of veteran studio wiz Hugh Jones as producer, the first time hebd worked with the Bunnymen since acting as producer on the groupbs second album. bHaving Hugh on board has been great,b says Sergeant. bTo have him there all the time, itbs as if hebs a sort of glue fitting everything together. We havenbt had that luxury for a while, because webve produced ourselves the last few times. Whatbs been happening with this record is that Ibve been going in during the day doing all my bits, and then Macbs been going in of a night. Hughbs been at the controls making sense of it all. Itbs made it quite interesting to have myself and Mac working separately this time, although we had loads of rehearsals before we went in, we all knew what we were doinb. Itbs a kind of a trust thing between us, which works really well.b ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * http://www.neonhalos.blogspot.com ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 09:48:51 +1200 From: "Kristin Smith" Subject: seven-seas noticias.info http://www.noticias.info/asp/aspComunicados.asp?nid=82614&src=0 /noticias.info/ Ian McCulloch paid homage to Rafael Benitez and Steven Gerrard during Echo and the Bunnymen's set at the T in the Park festival in Scotland on Sunday night. During the song Nothing Lasts Forever McCulloch went into Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side and changed the lyrics to take a walk down Merseyside. Then they went back into Nothing Lasts Forever and McCulloch changed the lyrics to, 'I want to play football for the coach, Steve wants to play football for the coach! Rafael Benitez is the coach, he's the coach!' Macca got a fantastic ovation from the Glasgow crowd. During the recent Glastonbury festival Echo and the Bunnymen played a set and McCulloch had a massive Liverpool banner by the drum kit. ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * http://www.neonhalos.blogspot.com ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 19:23:34 -0400 From: Brian Andersen Subject: seven-seas Glastonbury setlist Anyone know what the setlist order was for the Bunnymen at Glastonbury 2005? - -- - -Brian Andersen bandersen65@gmail.com ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * http://www.neonhalos.blogspot.com ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 10:22:27 +1200 From: "Kristin Smith" Subject: Re: seven-seas Fwd: Newhailes House gig Charles Pham writes: > Anyone heard anything about a possible cancellation? > The September 6th Italian Festival date has now become -- via the magic of Editing -- the August 6th Italian Festival date.
