Mountain : Over The Top

Mountain is an American Hard Rock band that formed in Long Island, New York in 1969. Originally comprising vocalist and guitarist Leslie West, bassist/vocalist Felix Pappalardi, keyboardist Steve Knight and drummer N. D. Smart, the band broke up in 1972 and has reunited frequently since 1973, remaining active today.

Over the Top is right. Two discs of Mountain, complete with all the AOR hits, unreleased tracks, two newly recorded songs, a nearly six-minute guitar solo, and a 20-minute jam is a bit much for anyone but the most devoted Leslie West fans, yet the number of rarities and classy packaging make the set a necessary item for the dedicated.

In early 1969 Leslie West, formerly of the Long Island R&B band The Vagrants, put together a band, Leslie West Mountain (a reference to his then-large size), with Norman Landsberg (keyboards, bass) and Ken Janick (drums) and began playing concerts.

Right around this time, former Cream collaborator Felix Pappalardi expressed an interest in producing West's work.The resulting solo album by Leslie West, Mountain, featured Pappalardi, Landsberg and former Remains drummer N.D. Smart.

Soon after Woodstock, Smart was replaced by Canadian Laurence "Corky" Laing, who was the drummer on the classic Climbing!, which was released in March 1970. It led off with what became the band's signature song, "Mississippi Queen", which reached #21 in the Billboard Hot 100, and was featured in the 1971 cult film Vanishing Point, while the album reached #17 in the Billboard Top 200. Mountain began a hectic touring schedule in the middle of which they recorded a follow-up album, Nantucket Sleighride, released in January 1971.

Taunta / Nantucket Sleighride  Lyrics

Goodbye, little Robin-Marie,
Don't try, followin' me.
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie,
'Cause you know, I'm comin' home soon.

My ship's leavin' on three year tour,
Next tide, will take us from shore.
Wind-laced, gather in sail and spray,
On a search, for the mighty sperm whale.

Fly your willow branches,
Wrap your body 'round my soul,
Lay down your reeds an' drums on my soft sheets,
There are years behind us reaching,
To the place where hearts are beating,
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.

Starbuck's sharpenin' his harpoon,
The Black man's playin' his tune,
An old salt's sleepin' his watch away,
He'll be drunk again, before noon.

Three years, sailin' on bended knee,
We found, no whales in the sea,
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie,
'Cause we'll be, in sight of land soon.

Fly your willow branches,
Wrap your body 'round my soul,
Lay down your reeds an' drums on my soft sheets,
There are years behind us reaching,
To the place where hearts are beating,

And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.

( Και μην τολμήσετε να το πάρετε σαν Ομοφοβικό Post εσείς οι ανεγκέφαλοι 

δήθεν υποστηριχτές των Gay

γιατί δεν υπάρχει διαφορετικότητα . 

Τα πάντα είναι θέμα σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού όταν κάποιος είναι ενήλικας . 

Τα πάντα είναι θέμα ελευθερης έκφρασης και προσωπικής επιλογής !!!
Εάν φοβάσαι το κράξιμο , το θάβεις , το κρύβεις και το ξεχνάς πάνω στο στρώμα με τον - την σύντροφό σου όταν κάνετε έρωτα .
Εάν δε φοβάσαι την ρατσιστική κατακραυγή μιάς κομπλεξικής Ανώμαλης κοινωνίας , τότε το φωνάζεις με δυνατή φωνή
και θα παλεύεις μιά ζωή να αποδείξεις ΤΙ ?

Στην οικογένειά σου που δυσκολεύεται να σε αποδεχτεί με τα χίλια ζόρια ?
Στη μάννα σου που πρώτη σε αγαπάει , είσαι παιδί της ,

Τα δήθεν δάκρυα της Κοντσίτας όταν έπαιρνε το ένα δωδεκάρι μετά το άλλο και η υποδοχή της στο αεροδρόμιο της χώρας της , με αφήνουν παγερά αδιάφορο .

Τέχνη σημαίνει να προάγεις τον Πολιτισμό κι όχι ένα έξυπνο τέχνασμα καμουφλαρισμένο πίσω από μία δήθεν σεξουαλική επανάσταση .
Εως ότου να ξεχάσουμε την Κοντσίτα , εκείνη θα έχει βγάλει τόσα πολλά εκατομμύρια από την γκροτέσκα φιγούρα που πλασσάρισε με τόση εξυπνάδα , ώστε μετά από λίγα χρόνια θα ζει ζάμπλουτη σε μιά βιλάρα , και θα έχει ξυρίσει όχι μόνο τα μούσια της , αλλά θα έχει κάνει και τις τρίχες από τ' @ρχ.... της πλεξούδες στην υγειά των κορόϊδων .

O.S.T: Faraway So Close 1993

Director Wim Wenders assembled a modern rock Who's Who for this soundtrack, which includes tracks by U2 (both of which also turn up on their Zooropa album), Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Jane Siberry, and Laurie Anderson. The result is a moody, evocative set that works with the film and as a consistent collection of contemporary songs.

(Almost half of the album is given over to selections from Laurent Pettitgand's low-key score.)
(Review by William Ruhlmann)

Faraway, So Close! (German: In weiter Ferne, so nah!) is a 1993 film by German director Wim Wenders.The film is a sequel to Wenders' 1987 film Wings of Desire.
Cassiel and Raphaella, two angels, observe the busy life of reunited Berlin. Due to their divine origin, they can hear the thoughts of the people around them, and try to console a dying man.

THE WANDERER - U2 with Johnny Cash
(Written by U2/Lyrics by Bono)

I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it

I went out riding
Down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name

I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents

I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon

Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you

ΑΡΝΗΤΙΚΗ ΣΤΑΣΗ - ΑΘΗΝΑ - 1989

Η "Αρνητική Στάση" είναι μια από τις πιο ξεχωριστές μπάντες που έχει να επιδείξει η ελληνική d.i.y. σκηνή, με εξαιρετική κινητικότητα στο πρώτο μισό της δεκαετίας του '90, μέσα από πολλές συναυλίες, πολλές από αυτές στη "Villa Amalias", και κάποιες καταπληκτικές κυκλοφορίες. Το '90 το split lp με τους 'Αγγλους "Kismet HC" με τίτλο "Love Is Our Strongest Weapon". Τα οχτώ τραγούδια τους τα ηχογράφησαν από τις 29 Νοέμβρη ως 3 Δεκέμβρη του '90 στο "Redhouse Studio". Η σύνθεση τους σε αυτό το δίσκο ήταν Αλέξανδρος φωνή και κιθάρα, Αλέκος κιθάρα και φωνή, Μάκης μπάσο και φωνή και Βασίλης Μπαμπούρης (ex "Βιομηχανική Αυτοκτονία") τύμπανα και φωνή. Το '93 κυκλοφόρησαν το εφτάιντσο με τίτλο "Spectators Of Decadence" από την αμερικάνικη "Profane Existence", περιείχε τα κομμάτια "Πτώση" και "Υπήκοοι Της Κίρκης", τα οποία είχαν ηχογραφήσει το Δεκέμβρη του '91 στο "Redhouse Studio". Από τη μπάντα είχαν φύγει οι δυο κιθαρίστες και στο εφτάιντσο έπαιξαν δυο νέα μέλη, Σταμάτης Σπηλιωτόπουλος (ex "Εναλλακτική Λύση 3", "Πορφυρία") κιθάρα και ο Γιάννης Τζαμίλης (ex "Κοινωνικά Απόβλητα") φωνή, κιθάρα και πιάνο. Ο τελευταίος θα αποχωρήσει από το γκρουπ και οι υπόλοιποι τρεις θα ηχογραφήσουν από τον Ιανουάριο ως τον Απρίλιο του '93, εικοσιτέσσερα νέα κομμάτια στο "Praxis Studios". Δώδεκα από αυτά θα μπουν στο lp που κυκλοφόρησαν μερικούς μήνες μετά από τη Βελγική "Genet Records" και αμέσως μετά τυπώνουν άλλες χίλιες πεντακόσιες κόπιες στην "Wipe Out Records". Μετά την έκδοση αυτού του δίσκου, το συγκρότημα διαλύθηκε. Συμμετείχαν στην κασετοσυλλογή "Οδόφραγμα Θορύβου" από τη "Boredom Tapes" το '90. Το '92 στο lp "Fragmenta IV" του fanzine "Στις Σκιές Του Β-23". Το '93 στην εφτάιντση συλλογή της "Profane Existence" με τίτλο "Think Globaly Act Localy" με το κομμάτι "Το Κουτί της Πανδώρας" σε διαφορετική εκτέλεση. Κομμάτια τους μπήκαν αργότερα σε αρκετές ακόμα συλλογές.
Μετά τη διάλυσή τους ο Βασίλης έπαιξε στους "Black Static" και αργότερα ασχολήθηκε με τις μεταφράσεις, ο Τζαμίλης έπαιξε στους "New Jack" και "Sadistic Noise", ο Σπηλιωτόπουλος κι αυτός στους "New Jack", ο Μάκης στους "Ανάσα Στάχτη" και "Ανατέλλων Τρόμος" και ο Αλέξανδρος στους "I Want The Moon".

Air : Moon Safari 1998

Moon Safari is the debut studio album by French music duo Air, released in 1998.
Electronica had its fair share of chillout classics prior to the debut of Air .
Air had musical ideas that stretched beyond samplers or keyboards, and Moon Safari found those ideas wrapped up in music that was engaging, warm, and irresistible.

Air is a music duo from Versailles, France, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel.

Air had certainly bought records and gear based on the artists that had influenced them, they didn't just regurgitate (or sample) them; they learned from them, digesting their lessons in a way that gave them new paths to follow.

Nicolas Godin studied architecture at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Architecture de Versailles, and Jean-Benoit Dunckel studied mathematics before forming a band in 1995. Before founding Air, Dunckel and Godin played together in the band Orange, with others such as Alex Gopher, Xavier Jamaux and Jean de Reydellet. The former two have subsequently contributed to remixes of tracks recorded by Air..

Air's full-length debut, Moon Safari, that proved they could also write accessible pop songs like "Sexy Boy" and "Kelly Watch the Stars." But it wasn't all pop. The opener, "La Femme d'Argent," was an otherworldly beginning, with a slinky bassline evoking Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson and a slow glide through seven minutes of growing bliss (plus a wonderful keyboard solo).

Air use many of their studio instruments (like Moog synthesizers, the Korg MS-20, Wurlitzer and Vocoder) live on stage, where their ability to improvise is more clearly highlighted. The band performs the well-known tracks from the albums live as extended or altered versions.

Air often works together, both in the studio and live on stage, with artists like Beth Hirsch (Moon Safari), Francoise Hardy ("Jeanne"), Jean-Jacques Perrey ("Cosmic Bird"), Gordon Tracks ("Playground Love" and "Easy Going Woman" - Gordon Tracks is a pseudonym of the French singer Thomas Mars from Phoenix), Beck (10 000 Hz Legend), on the 2004 tour with Dave Palmer and on the 2007 tour with drummer Earl Harvin, Vincent Taurelle and Steve Jones.

In Trance 95 are a duo from Athens,Greece. They were formed by Alex Machairas and Nik Veliotis in May 1988 and until Nik's departure in 1992 they released two singles,one 12 inch and one album,while they also appeared in a number of compilations of the time.
Their debut 7 inch,the double A Sided "Desire To Desire / Brazilia" was released in December 1988 and it is one of the few known releases of synth pop - cold wave that came from Greece in the 80's.
After a period during which Nik Veliotis left to undertake other projects Alex Machairas continued with new member George Geranios in various guises including a subtle change of name to Itenef. A full reformation took place when they were invited by ex Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder to open Recoil's Athens gig in April 2010.
But already from 2006 there was a renewed interest in the band that was generated through the increasing popularity of the minimal synth / cold wave sound in the underground circles of mainly New York and central Europe. The birth of "Minimal Wave" as a genre brought many obscure electronic artists from the 80's in the surface including In Trance 95. Many of their early tracks eventually got regular airplay at the Minimal Wave program of NY's East Village Radio and eventually in 2010,the duo signed to the New York based label.
With Minimal Wave's help, IT95 completed the album "Cities of Steel And Neon" which is a collection of their early tapes compiled and remastered by the duo themselves and the label's founder Veronica Vasicka. In March 2011, In Trance 95 presented their album in a live set before Vasicka's first appearance in Athens during a three-day event dedicated to analogue synthesizers and D.I.Y. tape recorder music of the 80's.[Wiki]
