<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sonne und Neonlicht. Einerseits gegensätzlich, andererseits nicht nur dem Melt!-Gänger als ultimativer Zustand des Zweilichts zwischen Tag und Nacht und Tag ein Begriff. Ein Zustand, den auch Booka Shade nur zu gut kennen, ist ihr Ruf doch nicht zuletzt der eines umwerfenden Live-Acts, was wiederum die Besucher des Melt! sicher mehr als unterschreiben werden. Entsprechend trägt ihr neues Album beides – Sonne und Neonlicht – nicht ohne Grund im Titel, ist es doch in gewisser Weise ein elektronisch-technoides Konzeptalbum. Ein Konzept, das nicht nur die Nacht und den anbrechenden Tag thematisiert, sondern ebenso die vielfältigen internationalen und zeitlich weit reichenden Einflüsse auf den Booka-Shade-Sound verdeutlicht.<!--more--></p>
<p>„The Sun &#38; The Neon Light“ präsentiert Walter Merziger und Arno Kammermeier aka Booka Shade vor allem als ausgereifte Songschreiber. Mag das übergeordnete Konzept insgesamt doch eher übergestülpt wirken – ohne zu scheitern –, finden sich auf dem Album doch vierzehn perfekt produzierte und perfekt strukturierte Tracks. Fast ohne Aussetzer zeigen sie die beiden Künstler auf einem (weiteren) Höhepunkt ihres Schaffens. Jedes Stück als Song gesehen besitzt einen eigenen Spannungsbogen, eine eigene Harmonie, die ihn außerhalb eines Clubkontextes bestehen lassen / ließen. Das Konzept vergessend, beweisen die beiden Künstler jedoch ihr Verständnis für die Tanzfläche und den Tänzer, für den perfekten Ablauf, die Inszenierung, auch indem sie das Album als Ganzes geschlossen gestalten.</p>
<p>Viele der Tracks besitzen eine cineastische, eine atmosphärische Komponente, die sie für das Erleben eines persönlich isolierten Films im eigenen Kopf innerhalb der Masse der Tanzenden öffnen. Dabei steht dieser Aspekt jedoch immer nur an zweiter Position, obwohl sich Club und „Kopfkino“ meist die Waage halten. Allein „Planetary“ weist sich unzweideutig als Clubtrack aus, wodurch es auf dem Album zu den wenigen Störmomenten gehört. Nicht, dass es schlechter sei, nein, es durchbricht nur den sonst meist geschlossenen Bogen. Anders formuliert, mit dem nachfolgenden, spielerisch-paranoiden „Comacabana“ bricht es den Bogen des Albums auf, eröffnet einen Ausgang heraus aus dem Sonne-Neonlicht-Sonne-Neonlicht-Kreislauf. Eine Öffnung, die das abschließende, träumerische „You Don’t Know What You Mean To Be“ als Lullaby erst möglich macht.</p>
<p>Zuvor jedoch, gleich zu Beginn legen „Outskirts“ und „Duke“ den Grund für eine filmische, zwischen das Tanzen im Club mitschwingen lassend und gleichzeitig andere nächtliche Assoziationen erweckend dahin schreitende Reise. Etwas, das hier zu Beginn nur durch das countryeske „Dusty Boots“ unnötig gestört wird. Ansonsten bergen die ersten zwei Drittel des Albums eine vielleicht wenig überraschende und wenig höhepunktreiche, doch umso geschlossenere hochwertigere musikalische Reise, die zunächst im grandiosen „Redemption“ kulminiert. Einem Track, der vor allem durch die Inszenierung der Drums eine unglaublich tiefe Anspannung auslöst. Diese löst sich im Laufe des euphorischen „Charlotte“, bevor der Titeltrack als einziges Stück das angesprochene Konzept umsetzt. Mit Orchesterunterstützung entwickeln Booka Shade hier einen Track lang die Gesamtheit der zwischen Tag und Nacht existierenden Emotionen in Form eines elektronischen Kopffilms.</p>
<p>Tag, Nacht, Sonne, Neonlicht, Zwielicht. Die konzeptuellen Andeutungen setzen Walter Merziger und Arno Kammermeier auf ihrem Album nicht um. Ein elektronisches Kleinod, das auf Dauer noch wachsen dürfte, liefern sie immerhin ab.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Ik doe graag tegendraads en op de Feestdag van Vlaanderen spoorde ik dan ook richting <em>Liège</em>. Daar vond immers voor de derde maal het electro-rockfestival <a href="http://lesardentes.be" target="_blank">Les Ardentes</a> plaats. Hoewel ik tot enkele weken geleden nog nooit van dit festival had gehoord, deed de combinatie leuke line-up (vooral vrijdag) en de redelijk goedkope prijs me snel mijn ticket bestellen.<em><br />
</em><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-78" src="http://scharre.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dscf0461.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /><em><br />
In Leuven station kreeg ik dit bord in de gaten. De toon was meteen gezet.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Dans of sterf</strong><br />
Op vrijdag was er de keuze uit drie verschillende podia: 2 indoorpodia in de <em>Halles des foires</em> en 1 weide in het nabijgelegen parkje. Bij mijn aankomst rond 16u en voor de eerste regenvlagen van de dag lag deze weide er spijtig genoeg al redelijk zompig bij.<br />
<img class="size-medium wp-image-81 alignnone" src="http://scharre.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dscf0462.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /><em><br />
Hmm, heeft er iemand laarzen bij?<br />
</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Maar ik liet de modder niet aan mijn hart komen en <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shameboy" target="_blank">Shameboy</a> kreeg iedereen in de stemming met weeral een subliem setje. Daarna was <a href="http://www.myspace.com/iloveyelle" target="_blank">Yelle</a> aan de beurt. Deze Bretoense Spice Girl, bekend(?) van dé Tecktonik-hit 'A Cause Des Garçons', kreeg het publiek minder aan de waggel ondanks haar t-shirt met het opschrift 'Dance or Die'.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Typisch festival</strong><br />
Dan maar even binnen in de hallen gaan loeren naar het Luikse DJ-duo <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thegmrmagnetik" target="_blank">The G vs Magnetik</a> die de 'Aquarium' mochten openen en alvast het beste van hunzelf gaven. Van al dat shaken kreeg ik een reuzehonger en ik besloot af te zakken naar de talrijke eetstandjes. Van Belgische frieten tot Aziatische gerechten, de hele typische festivalrimram is ook op Les Ardentes aanwezig.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Na een paar hartige hapjes en enkele aardige rondetijden in een Formule 1-wagen in de Playstation 3-tent was het eindelijk tijd voor <a href="http://www.myspace.com/getbookashade" target="_blank">Booka Shade</a>. Dit was voor mij het muzikale hoogtepunt van de avond, al vergeet ik voor de gemakkelijkheid dat ene house-intermezzo. Het is hun bij deze vergeven.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Modderspringen</strong><br />
Ondertussen hadden ze daarboven beslist om de hemelsluizen nog eens open te zetten. Het reeds getergde festivalterrein kon deze extra portie water niet meer slikken en in een mum van tijd werd het (gras?)veld omgetoverd in een modderbad waar menig schoonheidsinstituut stikjaloers op zou zijn.<br />
<img class="size-medium wp-image-84 alignnone" src="http://scharre.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dscf0493.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /><br />
<em>Feesten gelijk de beesten</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Dan maar dansen en springen in de modder tijdens <a href="http://www.myspace.com/goosemusic" target="_blank">Goose </a>en <a href="http://www.myspace.com/drlektroluv" target="_blank">Dr. Lektroluv</a>, er was geen ontkomen aan. Want wees nu even eerlijk, het is gewoon onmogelijk om stil te staan tijdens een optreden van deze Vlaamse electro-talenten.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Vieze vuile uilen vangen</strong><br />
Rond 02u30 zat de show in de modderpoel erop, maar in de hallen werd er nog duchtig verder gedanst op de beats. Twee uren later was ik volledig leeg en uitgefeest. Vies en vuil ving ik een klein uiltje in de inkomhal, ik was zeker niet de enige die op jacht was met een vangnet. Ik had nog net genoeg kracht om mezelf op één van de speciale nachtbussen te sleuren richting station waar rond 6u de eerste trein richting Leuven vertrok.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Het was een doodleuke dag en Les Ardentes is een steengoed Electro Rock festival met het potentieel om uit te groeien tot een blijver. Maar misschien volgend jaar toch maar planken leggen voor het buitenpodium. Of een portie zon bestellen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got back from a long weekend in LDN, as some posh Londoners like to call their home. The o2 Wireless Festival was on for four days in Hyde Park. The spirit of the people was great and being able to walk home after a great day out at a festival was quite frankly the best of all!<br />
This year the headliners were: <strong>Jay-Z</strong>, <strong>Morrissey</strong>, <strong>Fatboy Slim</strong> and <strong>Counting Crows</strong>.</p>
<p>Jay-Z played a similar set to his Glastonbury show, without the fabulous Wanderwall intro though. To be fair, I am possibly the whitest girl alive and Jay-Z was never on my preferred list of music. But he played a great set that even I could ‚bounce’ to (this sounds so wrong coming from me).</p>
<p>Day two saw Hyde Park filled with Morrissey fans and The Smith fanatics that still live in their beloved memories. Morrissey’s appearance is cocky as usual, but the people love it. Wandering around in a playboy shirt with his 20-something band sitting far in the back to have him take over most of the stage. He then holds a short monologue demonstrating his vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. It was something along the lines of: you eat death when eating meat. It was time for me to go.<br />
Good show, Mr. Morrissey, I’ll give you that. But your overly slimy dramatic-ness just isn’t my thing.</p>
<p>Day three was the fun day of glow sticks, neon wayfarers and colourful clothes. Most of the saturday line-up where dance/indie/nuwave bands with Fatboy Slim finishing the night. I sadly was a bit late and only saw a few gigs here and there including the brilliant performance of Berlin’s own Booka Shade. Check ’em out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bookashade.com/" target="_blank">http://www.bookashade.com/</a></p>
<p>The last day I spent on my way back to the pool. No Counting Crows for me.<br />
All in all, a great weekend at an amazing city centre festival!</p>
<p><strong>Have a listen to the following bands I loved at o2 wireless 2008:</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.redlightcompany.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Red Light Company</a> – although I wasn’t very impressed with their haircuts at first, they are definitely pulling it off on stage!<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/peteandthepirates" target="_blank"> Pete &#38; The Pirates</a> – English Indie Rock<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/hotchip" target="_blank"> Hot Chip</a> – geeky darlings always worth watching live<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/roisinmurphy" target="_blank"> Roisin Murphy</a> – fashionable as ever with a great live performance<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/thefashiondk" target="_blank"> The Fashion </a>– America is coming back with some great sounds<br />
<a href="http://beck.com/" target="_blank"> Beck</a> – he is back and the only one that is allowed to wear Wayfarers in my eyes.<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/thenational" target="_blank"> The National</a> – I missed it but my friend said it was brilliant!<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/robynmyspace" target="_blank"> Robyn</a> – better than expected. she blew me away.<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/samsparro" target="_blank"> Sam Sparro</a> – rockin his Prince’ness.<br />
<a href="http://www.bookashade.com/" target="_blank"> Booka Shade</a> – see above.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
Das großartige MELT! Festival ist nur noch einen Monat entfernt und wir können es kaum noch erwar]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><img src="http://www.iheartberlin.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/melt_2008.gif" alt="MELT! Festival 2008" class="imageframe" height="533" width="450" /></p>
<p align="left">Das großartige MELT! Festival ist nur noch einen Monat entfernt und wir können es kaum noch erwarten. Letztes Jahr hatten wir leider nur die Zeit für eine Nacht, aber dieses Jahr wollen wir uns die volle 3-Tage-Dröhnung geben. Falls ihr euch noch nicht entschieden habt, dann lest euch unsere 10 Gründe für das MELT! Festival durch, nach dem Klick. Einen Grund dagegen haben wir allerdings auch zu vermerken.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>
<p align="left"><strong>10 Gründe für das MELT! Festival<br />
</strong></p>
<p align="left"><em>1. Die Sonne<br />
</em></p>
<p align="left">In seiner 11jährigen Geschichte gab es beim MELT! wohl bisher nur einmal Regen, und das ist schon sehr lange her. In den letzten 4 Jahren, in denen wir dort waren, hatten wir immer Bombenwetter. Nur für die Nacht ist ein Pullover keine schlechte Idee.</p>
<p align="left"><em>2. Der See<br />
</em></p>
<p align="left">Das Festival befindet sich direkt an einem See. Eine Abkühlung ist sozusagen nur einen Sprung entfernt.</p>
<p align="left"><em>3. Die Location<br />
</em></p>
<p align="left">Ferropolis ist ein ehemaliger Tagebau und immernoch bevölkert von Kränen und anderen großen Maschinen, die zusammen eine sehr beeindruckende Kulisse darbieten. Wenn man bei Sonnenaufgang auf dem Weg zum Zelt auf das Gelände zurückschaut, sehen die Silhouetten der Kräne fast so aus wie gigantische Dinosaurierskelette.</p>
<p align="left"><em>4. Das Campen</em></p>
<p align="left">Die Campingplätze werden jedes Jahr etwas größer. Dank des guten Wetters hat es hier noch nie ein großes Matschfest gegeben, wie es bei so vielen anderen Festivals eigentlich fast jedes Jahr der Fall ist. Um so weiter man sich vom Festivalgelände entfernt, um so größer werden die Chancen, dass man einen ruhigen Schlaf verlebt. Ihr solltet euch vielleicht überlegen, anstelle eines Zeltes eher ein Sonnendach mitzubringen, denn wenn morgens die Sonne aufgeht, heitzt sich das Zelt so schnell auf, dass man kaum noch darin schlafen kann. Und leider gibt es weit und breit keine Bäume.</p>
<p align="left"><em>5. Die Leute<br />
</em></p>
<p align="left">Die Festivalgänger werden auch auf dem MELT! jedes Jahr etwas jünger. Wenn ihr also in Frieden Zelten wollt, solltet ihr euch euren Stellplatz gut aussuchen. Da das MELT! ja ein Elektro Festival ist, hatte ich vor meinem ersten Besuch etwas Bedenken, was das Publikum angeht. Besonders weil es eben nicht in Berlin stattfindet, sondern im eher ländlichen Gräfenhainichen. Aber als wir dann dort waren, hab ich mich schon sehr wohl gefühlt. Man ist hauptsächlich umgeben, von Leuten, die man auch in der Panobar oder der Bar 25 antreffen würde und trifft mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit ein paar Bekannte und alte Freunde wieder.</p>
<p align="left"><em>6. Die Bands</em></p>
<p align="left">Franz Ferdinand, The Teenagers, Hot Chip, Fotos, Hercules And Love Affair, Editors, Adam Green und Klee um nur ein paar zu nennen.</p>
<p align="left"><em>7. Die DJs</em></p>
<p align="left">Miss Kittin &#38; The Hacker, Steve Bug, Sascha Funke, Henrik Schwarz, Marcus Meinhardt, Ellen Allien, Alter Ego und viele, viele mehr.</p>
<p align="left"><em>8. Booka Shade</em></p>
<p align="left">Diese Typen werden euch rocken. Jeder, der sie letztes Jahr gesehen hat, war begeistert. Wir können es kaum erwarten, die Tracks des neuen Albums live zu hören.</p>
<p align="left"><em>9. Roisin Murphy</em></p>
<p align="left">Roisin ist so eine wilde Performerin und ihr aktuelles Album ist der absolute Knaller. Leider musste sie ihr Konzert letztes Jahr in Berlin absagen und das Ersatzkonzert war ziemlich schnell ausverkauft. Beim MELT! werden wir sie dieses Jahr nun endlich wieder sehen!</p>
<p align="left"><em>10. Björk</em></p>
<p align="left">Das MELT! ist Björks einziger Live Auftritt in Deutschland dieses Jahr. Und vermutlich wird es auch die einzige Gelegenheit sein, dass ihr mal ein Blechbläserorchester zu sehen bekommt, in eurer natürlich Umgebung jedenfalls.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Und der einzige Grund beim MELT! in Berlin zu bleiben: </strong></p>
<p align="left"><em>Fashion Week!!!!</em> Warum zum Teufel muss das am selben Wochenende sein?? Das ist logistisch überaus unpraktisch!</p>
<p align="left"><strong>MELT! 2008</strong></p>
<p align="left">18. - 20. Juli</p>
<p align="left">80 EUR für alle 3 Tage</p>
<p align="left">65 EUR für 2 Tage ohne Sonntag (Björk)</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-95 aligncenter" src="http://maximalminimal.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/1212809453_bookashadetrainer.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="412" height="219" /></p>
<p>Rappelons-nous, en mai dernier : Ed Banger proposait aux graphistes en herbe de participer au <a href="http://maximalminimal.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/ed-rec-fan-art-contest/"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Ed Rec Art Contest</span></a> pour gagner des <span style="color:#3366ff;">sneakers collector NIKE 1 X Busy  P<span style="color:#000000;">. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="color:#000000;">Cette fois-ci, il faudra acheter </span></span>sur <span style="color:#3366ff;">Beatport </span><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="color:#000000;">un album de<span style="color:#3366ff;"> Booka Shade</span> (</span></span>‘<a href="http://maximalminimal.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/get-booka-shade/"><em>The Sun &#38; The Neon Light</em></a>' dont nous avons déjà parlé avant) entre le 10 juin et le 18 juin pour pouvoir gagner une des 20 paires de <span style="color:#3366ff;">K Swiss ‘Booka Trainers’</span><span style="color:#3366ff;">.</span> Si c'est pas un méga coup marketing pour Booka Shade, K Swiss et Beatport je me demande bien ce que ça peut être...</p>
<p>En tout cas je trouve que ce genre de "campagne" décrédibilise ce type de label que l'on ne pensait pas opportunistes à l'origine. Est-ce que le malaise de l'industrie du disque serait à l'origine de ce genre d'attitudes commerciales de plus en plus fréquentes chez nos chers labels indépendants ?</p>
<p>Pour ceux qui veulent malgré tout y participer <a href="http://www.beatportal.com/feed/item/win-exclusive-booka-shade-k-swiss-sneakers/">c'est par là</a>.</p>

<p>Le duo allemand (formé de <span style="color:#3366ff;">Walter Merziger </span>et <span style="color:#3366ff;">Arno Kammermeier</span>) a une actualité plutôt mouvementée ces derniers temps.</p>
<p>Après avoir été remixé par <span style="color:#3366ff;">Dubfire</span> et Matchbox sur l'<span style="color:#3366ff;">EP Charlotte</span> qui a été un franc succès, les artistes du label <span style="color:#3366ff;">Get Physical </span>sortent leur troisième album <span style="color:red;"><a href="http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&#38;videoid=33939574">"The Sun &#38; The Neon Light"</a> <span style="color:#000000;">(les deux premiers étant Movements et Memento). C'est un album sur lequel ils ont travaillé plus de 15 mois, les morceaux ont été testés durant leurs nombreux sets live puis finalisés en studio.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
L'album est constitué de 14 tracks passant par la joyeuse <span style="color:#3366ff;">Charlotte</span>, à <span style="color:#3366ff;">Duke</span> sans oublier <span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="color:#000000;">la sombre <span style="color:#3366ff;">Comacabana</span> (qui aurait été réellement écrite à Copacabana en Bolivie)</span></span>, et est de très bonne qualité, nous avons été loin d'être déçus en comparaison à leurs albums précédents.<br />
D'autre part, Booka Shade envisage de le sortir en double album avec un CD2 constitué de 10 remixs du CD1 (plus un 11e nouveau morceau).</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF310763-02-01-14.mp3">14. You Don't Know What You Mean To Me</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="color:#000000;">Le duo fait, à l'occasion de cette sortie, une tournée mondiale de 4 mois intitulée</span> THE SUN AND THE NEON LIGHT WORLD TOUR  TOUR 2008 <span style="color:#000000;">qui passera bien évidemment par la France, à Paris (Elysée Montmartre) le 14 juin.</span><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
En attendant, l'album est disponible sur de nombreuses plates-formes dont Beatport.<br />
Il est par ailleurs partiellement écoutable sur le <a href="http://www.myspace.com/getbookashade">MySpace de Booka Shade</a> et sur <a href="www.Last.fm">www.Last.fm</a> .<br />
Un grand merci à <span style="color:#3366ff;">Booka Shade</span> qui continue de produire des chefs-d'oeuvres!<br />
</span></span></p>

<strong>Charlotte</strong>, pero es cuando mete sus manos de cirujano del minimal el Sr <strong>Dubfire</strong> y crea un monstruo de diez mil cabezas y sobre todo, diez mil zapatillas. Porque este rmx es tremendo, asi de claro, te vas a cansar de bailarlo o mejor dicho <strong>NO</strong> te vas a cansar, porque va a ser un número uno en todas las pistas.<br />
Dubfire, mitad de los ya extintos <strong>Deep Dish</strong> sabe lo que se hace, no es por nada que los Dish hayan sido los mejores remixers (con permiso de <strong>Timo Maas</strong>) del principio de esta década, y ahora, ya en solitario, sigue haciendo de las suyas, mejorando tema tras otro.Y este track es oro puro.</p>

<p>Q: You Play music in all different styles from Electro to Trance, How do you pick it?</p>
<p>A:Everything depends on the club, on the event and of course on what people are feeling right there and then. As at the end of the day you are the once who i am playing music for. And the most important for me is that you have the time of your life on the dance floor.</p>
<p>The Most Important thing is to feel peoples energy. And once you get it everyone goes nuts. Screaming, dancing, jumping and singing along! Its the most amazing feeling on earth which i would never exchange for anything.</p>
<p>I've also headlined with many other great artists such as Axwell, Bad Boy Bill, Josh Wink and Tommy Lee</p>

<p>Starting August 1-3 in Grant Park Chicago this musical, cultural community experience is a one of a kind sensory blowing must see adventure.  Grant Park takes the center stage to host this massive event and provides the perfect atmosphere for this music extravaganza.</p>
<p>Due to the massiveness of this event tickets go fast and rooms go faster so its best to book early.  I took the privilige of checking out a few places to recommend because lets face it, you were probably going to procrastinate, not get a room and end up sleeping in the Clarence Buckingham Fountain in the middle of grant Park.  So without further hubba-baloo heres some good stays.</p>
<p><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JaDdW_aAOMI/SD3r0TGI82I/AAAAAAAAACM/uKSvGcJQJgg/s1600-h/Allegro.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_JaDdW_aAOMI/SD3r0TGI82I/AAAAAAAAACM/uKSvGcJQJgg/s320/Allegro.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Hotel Allegro and a special deal (I love deals, especially during popular events)!<br />
<a href="http://book.hotelreservations.com/index.jsp?pageName=hotAvail&#38;position=13&#38;destinationID=1DA91CFE-A42B-482E-BE81-6F936199644E&#38;requestKey=178A5F181733674501&#38;showInfo=true&#38;supplierType=E&#38;cid=165272&#38;locale=en_US&#38;postalCode=&#38;showPopUpMap=false&#38;star=3-5&#38;propertyType=H&#38;landmarkDestinationID=F9D9E1B4-7191-4E1D-8751-7882CDE90D44&#38;hotelID=105477&#38;location=THEATER+AND+BUSINESS+DISTRICT&#38;city=Chicago+Area&#38;departureMonth=7&#38;hotnetrates=true&#38;mode=2&#38;mode=2&#38;currencyCode=USD&#38;numberOfRooms=1&#38;arrivalDay=31&#38;additionalDataString=vrBookingSource%7Cnull&#38;departureDay=3&#38;stateProvince=Il&#38;country=Us&#38;arrivalMonth=6&#38;room-0-adult-total=2&#38;streetAddress=">Price: $182 per night discounted from $260 for July 31st-August 3rd (sweet)</a><br />
The Allegro is located a convenient  0.8 miles from Grant Park which is perfect for concert going and not having to deal with a the parking mess.  A cheap cab ride or a brisk walk (or stumble) will get you where you need to be happily and safely.</p>
<p>Hotel Specs:<br />
The lobby displays theatrical influences with bursts of ruby-red, burnt-orange and forest-green hues offset by granite grays and ocean blues underfoot. A baby grand piano is positioned next to a double-sided fireplace that anchors the lobby's three-story staircase. The hotel's 312 Chicago restaurant captures Old World charm with a menu dominated by family recipes that enrich contemporary Italian flavors. Encore is a lunch venue by day, but transforms into a liquid lounge with two bars by night. Cameo serves coffee, pastries and fresh fruit. The hotel hosts complimentary wine receptions every evening. Art Deco fixtures and oversized windows add interest to the hotel's 14,000 square feet of function space. Wireless Internet access is complimentary throughout the hotel.</p>

<p>Album of the week is no close run thing this week, with Spiritualized's <em>Songs In A&#38;E </em>beating everything by some considerable distance. It's a beautiful, personal record, following Jason Pierce's brush with death back in 2005. This is the group's best since <em>Ladies And Gentlemen...</em>, and although it doesn't quite match the majesty of that LP, it certainly ranks higher than either of the last two records. A contender for album of the year so far. Best of the rest is Vetiver's third LP <em>Thing Of The Past</em>, a slice of melodic folk-rock. Not really a patch on 2006's <em>To Find Me Gone</em>, but still a good record. Also rocking the folky end of the spectrum this week is South London's Johnny Flynn with his debut, <em>A Larum</em>. Possibly the first album to contain a song after Shrek-faced scouser Wayne Rooney.</p>

<p>The Futurehead's third LP, <em>This Is Not The World</em>, is self-released after 2006's <em>News and Tributes </em>was perceived as a flop. This, like the last, is a solid effort though; sure there's not the spark of their debut, but good nonetheless. The Wedding Present continue their recent revival with <em>El Rey</em>, which I haven't heard. Eyebrows were raised when the pioneering electronic label Warp signed Maxïmo Park, those same eyebrows may well clear their respective foreheads when they hear Born Ruffians. Indie to the core, there is nothing here to distinguish them from the pack, and on this evidence Warp may be better sticking to bleeps and breaks.</p>

<p>The more electronic side of things is relatively sparse this week, the biggest release possibly being Booka Shade's <em>The Sun &#38; The Neon Light</em>. Much noisier is Health's remix album <em>Health//Disco</em>, featuring remixes by Crystal Castles and other hand-picked artists. From what I've heard, the big Crystal Castles glitchfest <em>Crimewave</em> is the highlight. Towards the quiet side is Minilogue's double-LP release <em>Animals</em>, slight minimal techno fluff from Sweden. A good listen.</p>

<p>The results from the last poll were:<br />
1. Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Angles<br />
2. Martha Wainwright - I Know You're Married But I Have Feelings Too<br />
=3. Santogold - Santogold<br />

Sie spielten Festivals, wurden gefeiert und erlebten ekstatische Fans, die ihre Basslines mitsingen konnten. Unbegreiflich, dass sie von der Energie ihrer Live-Sets nichts auf ihr neues Album retten konnten. <a href="http://www.tonspion.de/mp3.php?mp3=4761&#38;stil=3&#38;seite=1&#38;order=datum&#38;chars=a" target="_blank">Weiter auf Tonspion</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#33cccc;">Approdiamo al Palazzo dei Congressi intorno a mezzanotte, pronti a cominciare la 'Ryoji Ikeda experience'. Così ci sediamo in Aula magna e assistiamo allo spettacolo.<br />
<a title="Ikeda" href="http://www.ryojiikeda.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Ryoji Ikeda </span></a>è il compositore di musica elettronica giapponese che più ha aperto il minimalismo drone a sperimentazioni futuristiche. Per le proprie performance si accompagna indissolubilmente a un videoproiettore sul quale vengono emesse le frequenze del suono. Trattasi di elettroscopie che scavano nelle radici di quest'ultimo, ricollegandolo alle sue esperienze primarie, come gli impulsi neuronali del cervello e il battito cardiaco. La sua musica è composta da elementi neurali schizofrenici che offrono la percezione a chi assiste di avere a che fare con un organismo a sè riconducibile.<br />
Ancora scossi dall'esperienza, a mezzanotte e mezza ci spostiamo a controllare l'atmosfera in terrazza...Il posto molto adatto ad ospitare l'evento, ospita purtroppo, specialmente in questa sala, una massa di truzzi. La performance in corso è quella di <a title="Yacht" href="http://www.myspace.com/yacht" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Yacht</span></a>, statunitense di Portland, Oregon che nella propria musica unisce il lo-fi di Beck con l'electro-clash di Tiga, il risultato è un electro-pop à la Scissor Sisters in versione sperimentale. Esperiemento divertente e adatto ad allietare serate danzerecce alternative.<br />
Detto questo non resistiamo più di mezz'ora e verso l'una scendiamo ad assitere alla performance di <a title="Cobblestone JAzz" href="http://www.myspace.com/cobblestonejazzmathewjonson"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Cobblestone Jazz</span> </a>al Salone della cultura. la musica dei canadesi Cobblestone Jazz non è semplice minimal techno. Questo genere di musica che si è maggiormente sviluppato in area tedesca, trovando un punto di riferimento nella scuola berlinese(dai Kraftwerk in poi) si è connotato per la sua forte componente robotica e inorganica, come musica che comincia e finisce negli impulsi che stimola. I Cobblestone jazz aprono la minimal techno ad un ascolto più ampio, a cominciare da riferimenti melodici mai banali che spaziano dal funk al lounge, senza mai diventare chill-out perchè il suono viene sempre e comunque spezzato dai minimal beat, con inserimenti di crescendo tipicamente old-school progressive. Che la loro musica sia la nuova frontiera della techno..? One day we'll understand come promette il motto di Dissonanze...<br />
Ma è ora il momento di una riflessione di natura sociologica.<br />
Il festival sembra dislocare tipologie umane nelle varie location: in aula magna post-rocker e avanguardisti; nel salone della cultura(probabilmente l'unico caso in cui la struttura non si è dimostrata adeguata per il numero di persone che appunto la affollavano) club kids convinti; in terrazza...truzzi...<br />
Chiusa parentesi...alle due ci si sposta nuovamente in Aula magna per il live dei <span style="color:#ffffff;"><a title="Caribou" href="http://www.myspace.com/cariboumanitoba" target="_blank">Caribou</a></span>. E' proprio vero...la stanchezza ti assale quando ti fermi...quando si è in movimento chi la avverte???Comunque, non sarà certo la stanchezza a non farmi godere una delle esperienze live migliori del festival.<br />
Come suonerebbero i Byrds nel 2000?A fornire la risposta<br />
Caribou, progetto collaterale di Manitoba, aka il canadese Dan Sneith. Trattasi di pop psichedelico fortemente impresso dei 60's con la varietà di colori e atmosfere dilatate che caratterizzano la psichedelia ma con un'ingenuità naif che sa di gioco infantile come testimoniano le voci bambinesche dei due cantanti che si schiudono a tratti in cori hippie. Pezzi di media e lunga durata, che non viene però minimamente avvertita per la freschezza pop degli arrangiamenti arricchiti dall'utilizzo controllato di synth.<br />
A cucire il tutto l'abilità dei quattro ragazzi sul palco che impongono la struttura del gioco anche all'interno dei pezzi con scambi fra sezione ritmica e sezione armonica. Splendidi i passaggi in cui il basso o le batterie prendono il sopravvento sulla direzione della melodia con controtempi degni del post-rock più cerebrale.<br />
Soddisfatti del live rimaniamo un'altra mezz'ora a riposarci e ad assitere ai primi pezzi del live seguente che vede protagonista il duo californiano <span style="color:#ffffff;"><a title="NO Age" href="http://www.myspace.com/nonoage" target="_blank">No age</a></span>. Il duo hardcore chitarra-batteria di Los Angeles sale sul palco abbastanza fatto e divertito dal sonnecchiamento generale della sala. La loro musica introduce al proprio interno elementi di sperimentazione al livello della dilatazione del suono attraverso loop che si susseguono come onde a formare armonie. Il risultato sono delle pop songs suonate ad arte con riferimenti obbligati che vanno dal noise-pop di Sonic Youth e Dinosaur Jr alle atmosfere shoegaze dei My bloody Valentine.<br />
Due pezzi sono sufficienti e alle tre e mezza decidiamo di spostarci al Salone della Cultura per la performance dei <span style="color:#ffffff;"><a title="Booka Shade" href="http://www.bookashade.com/" target="_blank">Booka Shade</a></span>.<br />
Ci troviamo di fronte all'altra possibile frontiera della minimal electro. Se da un lato i Cobblestone Jazz aprono questo genere ad una vasta gamma di riferimenti esterni, dall'altro i tedeschi Booka Shade fanno partorire la loro proposta dall'interno, in un'implosione di sonorità opache che rielaborano tutto ciò che è stato il filone minimal-electro nei suoi vent'anni di esistenza fino al recente incontro con l'indietronica. La musica di cui si sta parlando è costituita dal semplice incontro tra synth e linea di basso in tutte le sue possibili modulazioni. La costruzione di questi pezzi non è però così banale come appare ma avviene in profondità, cioè è stratificata nella melodia e si articola in beat più o meno percepibili che trovano una propria continuità nell'andamento del pezzo oppure vi muoiono all'interno. Ascoltando con attenzione ci si accorge che alcuni pezzi dei dj tedeschi hanno trovato spazio sotto forma di remix anche nei nostri club.<br />
A fine serata, verso le quattro e mezza è il turno di <span style="color:#ffffff;"><a title="Loco Dice" href="http://www.locodice.com/" target="_blank">Loco Dice</a></span>, la sua è assolutamente musica da after d'autore e va inserito di diritto fra i dj che esplorano le frontiere dell'eletronica minimale tedesca ma dato l'orario e il fatto che a differenza della maggior parte della gente non ci siamo calati niente...e non siamo ubriachi!!!(dato l'elevato costo dei cocktail...10 euro!!!siete assurdi!!!) dopo una mezz'ora ce ne andiamo.<br />
Bilancio della serata: assolutamente positivo per la musica, unico rimpianto non aver potuto assistere alla performance di <a title="Charmeline" href="http://www.charlemagnepalestine.org/Charlemagne_Palestine_official_site.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Charlemagne Palestine</span></a>(alle 11...decisamente prestino!); piuttosto negativo per la gente, ridotta troppo male.</span></p>
