Cbatch & Herring

  

"Send You My Love", is a song that may not have been written if not for my persistent nagging. You see, Steve had a rack of cassette tapes filled with music. Many of them had no lyrics, which was right up my alley. Every time Steve played a track, he had to stop because I would interrupt by shouting, “go back…go back to that track, it sounds good!” You got something?” he would ask. The phrase, send you my love, stuck in my mind. Steve was recording my vocals each time the track was played, verse after verse.

     Looking back now, it's hard to believe the sound quality coming from the equipment he had at the time. A Tascam 4-track cassette recorder, mini Casio keyboard, an Alesis MMT-8 sequencer, eight track Yamaha mixer, Roland sound module and sampler, Yamaha TX 81Z, and a $20 dollar Realistic microphone purchased from Radio Shack. All used to create fantastic 4-track demos.

      We would later re-record those same sequenced tracks for what became “Send U My Love” in a professional recording studio. My lead vocal was replaced with that of Debbie Commodore. Some guitar was also added. The guitar solo and rhythm guitar parts were played by guitar wizard/god, Michael Bailey. That version is appropriately titled, "Send U My Love (The Fierce Guitar Reprise)" and is also on the EP, along with three other versions of the song.  

   

     Steve and I hope you enjoy all the music written by Stephen Cumberbatch and James Buddy Herring a/k/a C'batch & Herring. Many thanks to you all and we send you our love. ..Special delivery.

The Maier Project

Hans, the man behind The Maier Project, has released 10 albums since 2006. Starting with instrumental music (three full albums and one EP, only available on the band´s homepage), they changed to songs with lyrics in 2009. The first commercially available cd "Dragons" (2011) contained the promoted song "Rush Hour" which entered independent U.S. charts. In 2012, "States Of Aggregation " appeared with the beautiful "Crimson Secret", the brilliant "Not The Devil", and "Unhealthy Addiction" with its acclaimed video clip. In 2013, the Project released "Crossroads" which was concepted less commercially with some excursions to folk metal-like songs. The recent release "Paris" came to the world in 2015 and is up to date the commercially most successful album of the band.

THE MAIER PROJECT - "Paris" 

The Maier Project is back to PR&PM once more! This project is since 2006 spearheaded by Hans Maier (vocals, guitars, music, lyrics), in collaboration with other musicians, mainly Ludwig Sander (bass, backing vocals) and Arthur Belovic (drums, percussion). The Maier Project began as an instrumental project that later was expanded to include vocals. This project released independent CDs from 2006 to 2013. Two of their previous albums – “States Of Aggregation” (2012) and “Crossroads” (2013) – were featured at PR&PM in 2012 and 2013, respectively. 

Now The Maier Project is returning to this webzine with a new album, titled “Paris” (June, 2015). This release was planned to have another title, featuring songs dealing just with issues like “love” and “our daily life”, completed with a few instrumental pieces. The concept switched after the attacks to the “Charlie Hebdo”, forcing The Maier Project to add songs related to actual political events, economical, and ecological problems. On “Paris”, the music of The Maier Project is still somber, melancholic and introspective. The songs are driven by Maier’s down-tuned baritone vocals (his trademark), as he declaims ironic and poetic lyrics. The style ranges from Alternative Rock to Blasé 80’s Pop-Rock, covered with a thin layer of Progressive guitar and keyboard sonorities, and driven by a slow and discrete rhythmic section. Band members are influenced by “Trent Reznor” & “Nine Inch Nails”, “Lloyd Cole Weblog”, “Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds”, “Peter Hammill” & “Van der Graaf Generator”, “Yes” (Indian phase), “Genesis” (“Peter Gabriel” Era), and “Steven Wilson & Porcupine Tree”; but the bittersweet nature of the music is also reminiscent of “Lou Reed”, “Roger Waters”, “The Smiths”, “David Sylvian”, “Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds”, “Nick Drake” and “Johnny Cash”. 

On the new album there was a significant line-up change: the previous duo of guitarists, Peter Monk and Willy Monk, have been replaced by Harold Miller (guitars, backing vocals); and keyboardist Paul Wallner left his place for Carl van der Keulen (keyboards, organ, piano, accordion). The new musicians have brought a new melodic input to The Maier Project: Miller’s guitar solos recall 80’s Rock (“U2”, “The Smiths” and the Neo-Prog style of early “Marillion”); van der Keulen’s keyboards have a touch of Classic Progressive and Psychedelic. The interaction between the old and new musicians of The Maier Project resulted in odd and enigmatic arrangements, underlined by Maier’s characteristic vocals. 

“Paris” features 17 tracks. The album opens with the somber “Train” (4:05), that runs slow like a Psychedelic-Doom rock, loaded with melancholy, like also do the tracks “My Heavy Wooden Door” (5:42) and “Watch The Dead Walking” (4:34) – this one having hilarious lyrics – presenting The Maier Project’s credentials to the listener. A point of grief is sensed on the incisive lyrics of a number of tracks that deal with political issues – more specifically, against terrorism and the attacks to Paris: the tribute-paying “Charlie” (2:50); the piano-ballad “Contrasts” (3:18); and the best of three, “Paris 2015” (3:24) – a spirited song that places the sadness of a piano tune in opposition to a playful guitar solo, passing the message that, “despite all terror, life goes on”. 

And life goes on, brighter and happier, on several tracks of “Paris”, which are delivered in Alternative, Post-Punk, and New-Wave rhythms and agreeable keyboard arrangements, highlighted by Harold Miller’s beautiful and delicate guitar work – a mix of styles rooted on 80’s Rock (think of “U2”, “Talking Heads”, “The Smiths”), melded with soaring textures and melodicism that recall “Steve Rothery” in “Marillion’s” earliest days. The songs belonging here are: the ballads “Happy Days” (4:35), “Paint Them Pink” (3:56), “Poison Over Endless Fields” (3:50), and “Favorite Place” (2:47); and the fast and rocking “Narcissists” (3:56) and “Love Song” (2:35) (both inspired on “NIN”).
A couple of songs are more relaxing: the nostalgic “Town Of Mints” (4:13) and the piano-lullaby “Somnolent Eyes” (3:17), which turns out to be an anti-lullaby, when some noisy bass and guitars arrive in a “Floyd” style! But The Maier Project shows its best Progressive vein on these three tracks: “Valse” (3:56), which experiments with changes of musical tempos; “Look At The Mess” (6:29) – a lysergic retro-rock plunging deep into psychedelic times (recalling “Velvet Underground”); and “My Inward Eye” (6:41), which revolves nostalgic feelings and bittersweet moods amidst piano notes, and rhythmic guitars with an Irish-Rock pedigree, finishing with a Neo-Progressive guitar solo. 

Although dealing with some grievous issues, I found “Paris” to be a promising album to push The Maier Project towards a new musical future, capable of attracting to the band more than appreciators of melancholic and introspective Rock with poetical and ironic lyrics. The Maier Project is still recommendable for fans of “Peter Hammill”, “Trent Reznor” & “Nine Inch Nails”, “Lou Reed”, “Roger Waters”, “The Smiths”, “David Sylvian”, “Nick Cave”, “Pink Floyd”, “Nick Drake”, and so on. 

Band members and collaborators involved in The Maier Project are: Hans Maier – Vocals, Guitars, Music, Lyrics; Harold Miller – Electric Guitars, Backing Vocals; Carl van der Keulen – Keyboards, Organ, Piano, Accordion; Ludwig Sander - Bass, Backing Vocals; Arthur Belovic – Drums, Percussion. Additional Musicians: Gael Hemmings – Celtic Harp on “Train”; Peter Monk - Electric Guitar on “Paint Them Pink”. Additional String Quartet: Martha  Solder – Violin, Eva Dorniger – Cello, Martin Folderer – Contrabass, Ole Jundgaard – Contrabass (on “Contrasts” and “Valse”). Recorded & Mixed from Sep. 3014 to May 2015. Studio Crew: The Tendini Brothers; Mixed & Arranged by Hans Maier & Robert Parker.

neo musica

Con música le dicen NO a la violencia de genero.

NEO es la actual propuesta al mercado de habla hispana, siendo una banda chilena liderada por Cinthia Redenz, quién con su reconocible carisma y su paso por televisión abierta en Chile (Canal 13), irrumpen en la escena nacional, con canciones inéditas, avaladas por su gran sonido.  

Hoy lanzan al mercado la primera parte de una trilogia de amor, "Beso de Hielo".  Single que refleja todo el Power Ballad que la banda quiere transmitir. 

Junto a este hermoso y potente "Beso de Hielo".   Como single paralelo y siempre presente en cada publicación y presentación en vivo,  se considera “Deja de Golpear”, single que basa su temática en los sufrimientos de mujeres maltratadas física y psicológicamente.

Es un mensaje claro y directo a “NO + Violencia”, demostrando con su positivo mensaje que existen salidas reales al problema.

Es una mirada fresca y de compañía, en donde NEO música , a través de su música, invitan a liberar las opresiones y salir adelante en la vida.

Esto hace para NEO música y en especial de su front woman, Cinthia Redenz, quién fue víctima de violencia hace algunos años, situación que con mucha dificultad logró sobre llevar y finalmente salir adelante, "Esta canción te permite entender que ante cualquier circunstancia de la vida y ante cualquier adversidad, puedes detener lo que estás viviendo y volver a empezar" (Cinthia Redenz).   Para NEO música y su producción son un compromiso real y obligación el llevar este mensaje esperanzador a todas las mujeres del mundo.

La canción ha sido promovida como un himno de la NO Violencia y el respeto a la mujer.   Por tal razón se considera como himno de la auto declarada nueva campaña “ÚNETE”, creada e incentivada por ONU Mujeres y tomada como propia por parte de NEO música.

LEMON

LEMON are back with their new single, "In the Night", from their upcoming 12 song CD release "Year on Mars", a labor of love over two years in the making. To get things off on the right foot, they've partnered with Electric Allstars (the DJ/Producer behind Groovecutters and the UK hit "We Close Our Eyes") to craft a dance floor stunner. Add to the mix some gorgeous vocals from Camille Jones, who's riding high from her own international hit track "The Creeps" with Fedde le Grande, and you've got the start of a very momentous year to come. www.myspace.com/lemonmusic www.lemoncentral.com

Combining the soulful ache of Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall with the sultry falsetto of Smokey Robinson, Lemon resurrects the plaintive longing and raw sexuality of vintage R&B with the synthesized rhythms of  modern rock.

A duo consisting of vocalist Roger Smith and multi-instrumentalist Thor Madsen, the New York-based Lemon generates body heat from their funky, sweltering grooves.

Eschewing the discordant noise and basement production of ‘90s alternative rock, Lemon champion melody and clear, straightforward songwriting, utilizing modern technology to create evocative atmospherics with old-school pop hooks. If Motown had begun releasing albums in the 21st century, then Lemon would’ve been among their prime artists.

“The warmth of Smith's singing is complemented beautifully by Madsen's dreamy keyboard textures,” raved U.K.'s Adam Harrington.

Take a taste of Lemon now.

Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White dead at 74

 © 2016 CBS Interactive Inc.

NEW YORK -- Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White, whose horn-driven band sold more than 90 million albums and made hits like "September," ''Shining Star" and "Boogie Wonderland," died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, publicist Mark Young told CBS News.

White, who was 74, suffered from Parkinson's Disease and had retreated from the public even as the band he founded kept performing.

"My brother, hero and best friend Maurice White passed away peacefully last night in his sleep," his brother Verdine White, also a member of the band, said in a statement Thursday. "While the world has lost another great musician and legend, our family asks that our privacy is respected as we start what will be a very difficult and life changing transition in our lives. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes."

Earth, Wind & Fire, a nine-piece band centered featuring the two White brothers, singer Philip Bailey and the distinctive horn section, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The band's most successful period started with the 1975 album "That's The Way of The World" and continued through the rest of the decade. Other hits included "Serpentine Fire," ''That's the Way of the World" and a cover of the Beatles' "Got to Get You Into My Life."

White publicly revealed he had Parkinson's at the time of the band's Hall of Fame induction, but he had shown symptoms of the neurological disease back in the 1980s. He stopped touring with the band in 1995 because of weariness from the road combined with his health problems.

White said in an interview with The Associated Press in 2000 that he wanted the band's music to inspire instead of just entertain.

"That was the whole objective, to try to inspire young people to believe in themselves and to follow through on their ideas," he said. "We've touched so many people with these songs."

A former session drummer, White founded the band Salty Peppers in the Chicago area in the late 1960s and had some modest success in the Midwest. After relocating to Los Angeles and ditching all of the band members except Verdine, he renamed the outfit Earth, Wind & Fire after the three elements in his astrological chart.

Bailey's bright falsetto defined many of Earth, Wind & Fire's hits. "We experienced pure magic together," Bailey said during the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, standing next to White.
The band's early sound was jazzy, but evolved into an exuberant, horn-driven mix of jazz, funk, gospel and Big Band music. Their appeal wasn't just on records but on stage, their concerts a whirl of dancing, fog machines, multi-colored lights and glittery costumes. Earth, Wind & Fire performed everywhere from the Super Bowl to the White House.

Maurice White also had a substantial side career producing other artists, including Barbra Streisand and Cher. In the 1970s, he co-wrote and co-produced the Emotions' No. 1 hit "Best of My Love."
White was born in Memphis in 1941, the son of a doctor and grandson of a New Orleans piano player. He showed musical gifts at an early age, studying at the Chicago Conservancy. During the 1960s, he backed Muddy Waters, the Impressions and others and worked as a session drummer in Chicago.

Storms Leave Trail Of Damage; More Rain, Brutal Wind Expected Today

News9.com - Oklahoma City, OK - News, Weather, Video and Sports |

Powerful winds left a trail of damage across southwest Oklahoma Sunday night, and we're bracing for a round of cool, raw weather Monday.

The storms that rolled through the state Sunday evening destroyed a vacant mobile home in Mountain Park in Kiowa County. Debby Clinton believes it was something stronger than straight-line winds.
"Everything was blowing in a circular motion. The debris, wind, rain. It sounded like a roar or a train," said Clinton.

Wind also damaged the roof of a home in the town of Elmer in Jackson County.

Several semi-trucks were flipped along I-40 in Washita County in western Oklahoma. Overturned trucks were also reported on the Turnpike in Cotton County and near the Hobart Airport.

Lightning knocked out power Sunday night to residents in the Oklahoma City metro and Enid. News 9 Storm Trackers and viewers reported hail falling in several counties as the noisy storms marched across the state late Sunday into early Monday morning.

As of 9:45 a.m. Monday, 1,560 customers are still without power in Enid, according to OG&E.
News 9 Meteorologists Jed Castles and Lacey Swope say more rain is expected Monday. High winds and falling temperatures are also in the forecast.
