El pasado día 12 de febrero se cumplieron 8 años de la muerte de uno de los más grandes artistas de la historia del jazz y uno de nuestros músicos favoritos, el vocalista, compositor y también excelente letrista de Milwakee, Al Jarreau. Además hace unos días, concretamente el 12 de marzo Jarreau habría cumplido 85 años. En uno de los primeros Vinilos para Gatos, concretamente en el episodio número 10, os acercábamos uno de sus trabajos más desconocidos, All Fly Home del año 1978. Coincidiendo con el 5º aniversario de su muerte, en febrero de 2022 os entregamos su primera grabación oficial, We Got By del año 1975 y al año siguiente le tocó el turno a Glow. El año pasado por estas fechas os entregamos This Time, editada en el año 1980. Hoy le toca el turno a Brakin’ Away, la grabación que convirtió a nuestro homenajeado en una auténtica leyenda.

Episode 64: Nathan East. One of the most recorded musicians of all time, and truly one of the greatest humans—that's Nathan East. I had the best time hanging out with him, diving into his perspective and stories, and cracking up along the way. We talk about his 40-year relationship with Eric Clapton, recording some of the biggest songs ever, and co-writing one of my personal favorite records. His outlook on life is incredible, and I believe that's a huge part of why he's had nonstop opportunities since his teenage musician years. Nathan has played on over 2,000 recordings with legends like Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Stevie Wonder, George Harrison, Kenny Loggins, Daft Punk, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock…the list goes on and on. As a bassist, he's been half of the groove behind a laundry list of the greatest drummers of all time: Vinnie Colaiuta, Ringo, Ndugu Chancler, Jeff Porcaro, Phil Collins, Harvey Mason, John JR Robinson, and more. I hope you enjoy this conversation with the one-and-only Nathan East! I tried my best to make it special from every other interview he's done.

Here comes that Santa Ana wind again, blowing us right into the slightly skewed world of Steely Dan.It was never a question whether Strong Songs would do a Steely Dan episode, it was more a question of which song to focus on. In the end, Kirk chose "Babylon Sisters," a culmination of the band's incredible 1970s run that exemplifies Fagen and Becker's brand of pristine, laser-focused groove.

On this episode of the Xian Archive Podcast, Matt is joined by music producer, drummer & DJ Zach Morillo. As the artist ‘ MORiLLO ', Zach has released three albums, three ep's, and a multitude of singles and remixes on established labels such as Gravitas Recordings, Muti Music, High Vibe Records, Tribal Trap, Hybrid Trap, Simplify, and Play Me Records. As he continues to build his project, Zach's music has been celebrated by music lovers and DJ's on stages and at festivals around the world.     During the conversation the two discuss Zach's musical path, his experiences with festivals, psychedelics and synchronicity. They also discuss ecstatic dance, musical gear, DAWS and mindset for creating, plus more.     At the young age of 7, Zach's journey in music began when he became close friends with his next-door neighbors, the children of the late legendary drummer, Jeff Porcaro. Through spending time at Jeff's house in Orlando, Florida, Zach was exposed to the life of a musician and first sat down behind a set of drums. He quickly discovered his natural talent and passion for music and rhythm. Making music has been his life's focus ever since.     Zach attended the Music and Performing Arts magnet program at Dr. Phillips High School where he learned to master rudimentary skills, serving as the captain of the drum-line and studying privately with jazz greats, Danny Gottlieb and Joe Morello. His musical education continued at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music where he was awarded scholarship for a Jazz Drums major in the Studio Music and Jazz Bachelors program. During his time at UM, he quickly became one of the most sought after drummers in school and in the greater Miami and South Florida area. He performed regularly with many of the local hip-hop, reggae, and rock bands while working steadily in the corporate top-40 circuit.     With a desire to expand his opportunities across the music world, Zach moved to Los Angeles in 2012. He quickly found work as a touring drummer for internationally acclaimed artists RHYE, Childish Gambino, and Groundation and has traveled the world performing at the biggest and best festivals and venues like Coachella, Red Rocks, and The Hollywood Bowl. In addition, he has been creating and developing his own unique sound and identity through music production and djing.

Es gibt Drummer, die man auf jeden Fall kennt und dann doch irgendwie auch nicht so richtig. Pascal Thielen ist definitiv einer von ihnen. Denn ich bin mir sicher, dass du schon mindestens ein Video mit ihm gesehen hast. Denn Pascal ist einer der Drummer bei Art of Drumming. Ein ziemlich großer und erfolgreicher YouTube Kanal. Er ist dort der Spezialist für das Nachbauen von legendären Schlagzeugsounds. Nehmen wir das Beispiel Rosanna von Toto. Es gibt unzählige Videos, die dir Schritt für Schritt erklären, wie der Groove funktioniert (nicht zuletzt das legendäre Video von Jeff Porcaro selbst) - aber neben der Technik und dem Groove spielt bei den Aufnahmen auch der Sound eine entscheidende Rolle. Pascal nimmt sich genau dieser Fragen an und versucht dann, diesen speziellen Sound nachzubauen. Alles mit einem handelsüblichen Set, ein paar Mikrofonen und einem Computer. Was seine Leidenschaft für Traktoren-Sounds damit zu tun hat; wie er überhaupt an den Job gekommen ist und was aus seiner Sicht das entscheidende ist um einen Sound nachzubauen - all das und sogar noch ein wenig mehr erfahrt ihr hier im Trommel Talk und dabei wünsche ich euch nun viel Spaß!

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I am thrilled to be joined by a guy who greatly impacted me as a music listener and player.  Tim Sweatman is a talented songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and engineer.  Tim and I reminisce about our shared love for music and our musical journey together. We dive into our diverse musical influences, from George Jones to George Clinton, and our wide-ranging taste in genres. We discuss the importance of playing with musicians who are better than us to improve our skills. We also touch on the underrated guitar playing of James Taylor and the session musicians who played on his records. We explore the influence of drummers like Carlos Vega and Jeff Porcaro and guitarists like Dan Huff and Michael Landau. We reflect on the decline of melodic playing in modern music and the importance of melody in songwriting. Tim and I share our love for music and experiences playing and recording together in this conversation. We discuss our favorite bands and musicians, including Chicago, Terry Kath, Christopher Cross, and Toto. We also discuss our experiences with recording technology, from using TASCAM cassette recorders to modern digital audio workstations.

Bill Gibson began playing music at the age of seven. He found his passion for music when his father Ed Gibson, an architect by trade but a jazz drummer in his own right, began taking him to see such greats as The Count Basie Orchestra, The Duke Ellington Orchestra, and The Buddy Rich Big Band. Inspired by big band jazz and rock & roll styles, Bill got his first drum kit at age fourteen, and began playing drums with local bands the following year. He soon became the drummer for Sound Hole and played his first tour in 1974 backing up Van Morrison. Bill is a founding member of Huey Lewis and the News, which he and other members of Sound Hole and the band Clover formed in 1979. 33 years later, the band is still going strong and has enjoyed enormous success with over 30 million albums sold worldwide, 19 top ten hits including "The Power of Love", "Stuck With You", and "Hip To Be Square", and multiple awards and award nominations.

SWR1 Meilensteine - Alben die Geschichte machten

Das ganze Jahr über präsentieren wir euch bei den SWR1 Meilensteinen Alben, die aus musikjournalistischer Sicht absolute Meilensteine sind. Zur Weihnachtszeit werden auch wir etwas emotionaler und präsentieren euch mal die ganz persönlichen Meilensteine unserer SWR1 Musikredaktion. Carolyne Mas und ihre "Mas Hysteria" Den Anfang macht in dieser Weihnachtsfolge übrigens kein Musikwunsch aus der Musikredaktion von SWR1 Rheinland-Pfalz, sondern ein Meilensteine-Hörer. Frank Bick hat sich für den Podcast "Mas Hysteria" von Singer/Songwriterin Carolyne Mas rausgesucht. Eigentlich ist es auch gar kein richtiges Album, sondern der Mitschnitt eines Radiokonzertes Anfang der 80er-Jahre, das Carolyne Mas gegeben hat. Ganz besonders der Song "Sittin' in the Dark" hat es dem Meilensteine-Fan angetan, wie er erzählt. Für ihn ist der Song pure Nostalgie. Er hat "Sittin' in the Dark" häufig in seiner Zeit beim Militär gehört, während er mit seinen Kameraden nachts in einem VW Käfer von Wildeshausen nach Wesel gefahren ist. "Da haben wir uns natürlich Kassetten mitgenommen! [...] Da musste jeder was mitbringen. [...] Auf dem Rückweg vom Bund war da super Laune. [...] Da passte diese Musik super rein", erzählt SWR1-Hörer Frank Bick im Podcast. Auch wenn einige Menschen Carolyn Mas hier und da mal als weibliche Bruce Springsteen betitelt haben, weil sie mit Teilen seiner E-Street Band gespielt hat, vergleicht SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig sie doch eher mit Patti Smith oder den Pretenders – neben dem Boss ist auch dieser Vergleich durchaus schmeichelnd zu verstehen. Vorurteilsfrei: George Michael und "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" Nachdem "Wham!" sich Mitte der 80er Jahre getrennt hatten, machte auch George Michael als Solokünstler weiter. Sein erstes Soloalbum "Faith" – auf dem auch der gleichnamige Megahit war – war 1987 ein riesen Erfolg gewesen. Mit "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" stand er also vor der Mammutaufgabe des zweiten Albums, das viele Künstler fürchten. Das zweite Album gilt bei Bands und Solokünstlern gleichermaßen als das schwierigste, weil das häufig darüber entscheidet, ob der Künstler in die Bedeutungslosigkeit abdriftet oder sich als ernst zu nehmender Künstler etabliert. Und George Michael emanzipierte sich mit dem Album von dem vorangegangen Look und Sound seiner Musik und seiner Person. Es war nicht mehr so schillernd und voll auf die zwölf, sondern im Gegenteil: Es war zurückgenommen und jazzig, wie SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig im Meilensteine Podcast beschreibt. "Er macht gleich klar: Das ist George Michael! So kennt ihr ihn nicht. Das ist nicht Disko "Bumm, Bumm, Bumm" von Wham, das ist auch nicht der Tanzkasper aus "Faith"", erzählt Stephan Fahrig. Die Plattenfirma war mit dem "neuen George Michael" nicht so zufrieden, weil sie sich auf einem Album natürlich mehr Hits erhofft hat. Denn die erfolgreichen Singles sind es, die die Albumverkäufe ankurbeln und nicht der eigene Anspruch des Künstlers. Einen großen Hit hat die Plattenfirma dann auch bekommen: "Freedom! '90". Powerfrau Alicia Keys und ihr Grammyalbum: "As I Am" Mit "As I Am" hat Alicia Keys 2007 ihr drittes Album rausgebracht und zahlenmäßig passend dafür auch drei Grammys bekommen. Rund sechs Millionen Mal hat sich die Platte weltweit verkauft. Alicia Keys kommt mitten aus New York City, kennt das Großstadtleben und ist gleichzeitig aber auch ein Kind der klassischen Musik. Schon mit fünf Jahren hat sie Klavierunterricht bekommen und auch die Musik der großen Meister wie Mozart, Chopin etc. gespielt. Und genau diese beiden Welten verbindet sie in Ihrer Musik zu einer: der raue, harte Großstadtflair und die feine Zerbrechlichkeit und Technik der Klassik. Das perfekte Bindemittel dafür ist ihre kraftvolle und doch oft kratzige Stimme. Nicht nur ihre Stimme ist kraftvoll, sondern die ganze Person Alicia Keys ist eine echte Powerfrau. Das zeigt sie uns immer wieder und sie hat sich für das Album eine weitere starke Frau als Songwriterin zur Seite geholt: Linda Perry. Diese hatte in den 90ern ihren großen Durchbruch als Sängerin der "4 Non Blondes". Linda Perrys eigentliche Karriere startete dann aber mehr im Hintergrund als Songwriterin und Produzentin. Sie hat nicht nur mit Alicia Keys zusammengearbeitet, sondern auch mit vielen anderen großen weiblichen Stars wie Pink, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera oder Céline Dion. Auf "As I Am" war Linda natürlich passenderweise auch am Song "Superwoman" beteiligt. Moderner 80er Pop aus Australien: Client Liaison Die 80er sind zumindest musikalisch sowas wie das "Lieblingsjahrzehnt" der Deutschen. Und auch heute feiert die junge Generation von Musikfans und Musikmachern begeistert die Sounds der 80er-Jahre. Megastar The Weeknd ist da ganz vorne mit dabei, aber auch der deutsche Produzent Puple Disco Machine. Auch die australische Band Client Liaison hat sich ganz den 80ern verschrieben und macht nicht nur Musik im Sound der 80er, sondern ist auch in ihrem ganzen Auftreten und ihren Performances ein echtes 80er-Jahre Gesamtkunstwerk, erklärt SWR1 Musikredakteur Dave Jörg im Podcast, der selber großer Fan der 80er ist. "Die klingen nicht nur nach 80ern und frühen 90ern, die stylen sich auch so. Die sind in Australien bekannt für ihre aufwendigen Videoclips und da inszenieren die sich oft in so einer hedonistischen 80er-Jahre Konsumwelt – so yuppie-mäßig. [...] Die nehmen das schon auf die Schippe, aber die servieren so ein gesamtes Konzept", sagt SWR1-Musikredakteur Dave Jört im Podcast über die australische Band. Die musikalische Fortführung von Steely Dan Nachdem die Band Steely Dan sich 1981 aufgelöst hatte, machte Sänger Donald Fagen als Solokünstler weiter. In diesem Jahr hat Donald Fagen seinen 75. Geburtstag gefeiert. Sein erstes Soloalbum "The Nightfly" veröffentliche Fagen relativ kurz nach der Auflösung von Steely Dan im Jahr 1982. Das Besondere an dieser Platte ist zum einen, dass es ein Konzeptalbum ist, dass sich sozusagen von vorne bis hinten in einem Guss hören lässt und dabei zwar musikalisch anspruchsvoll ist, aber trotzdem auch ganz beiläufig gut zu hören ist. Man kann der Platte trotz der Komplexität einfach folgen. Das funktioniert natürlich am besten, wenn man sich geniale Studiomusiker mit dazu holt. Durch seine Arbeit bei Steely Dan war das persönliche Telefonbuch von Donald Fagen durchaus nützlich, was auch sein Soloalbum angeht und er hat sich für "The Nightfly" jede Menge fantastischer Musiker dazugeholt, unter anderem auch Basslegende Marcus Miller und Schlagzeuger und Toto-Gründungsmitglied Jeff Porcaro. __________ Über diese Songs wird im Podcast gesprochen (02:04) – “Sittin' in the Dark” von Carolyn Mas (11:50) – “Thomas Dunson's Revenge” von Carolyn Mas (17:13) – “Praying for Time” von George Michael (20:50) – “Cowboys And Angels” von George Michael (22:04) – “Freedom! ‘90” von George Michael (28:03) – “Nocturne Nr. 20 in Cis-Moll” von Frédéric Chopin, gespielt von Sophie Pacini (28:51) – “As I Am Intro” von Alicia Keys (30:28) – “No One” von Alicia Keys (32:19) – “Teenage Love Affair” von Alicia Keys (33:32) – “Superwoman” von Alicia Keys (35:23) – “Tell You Something” von Alicia Keys (38:19) – “Off White Limousine” von Client Liaison (41:23) – “The Bravest Beginnings” von Client Liaison (45:41) – “Where Do We Belong” von Client Liaison (47:27) – “Home” von Client Liaison (54:10) – “The Nightfly” von Donald Fagen (56:14) – “I.G.Y” von Donald Fagen (58:57) – “Maxine” von Donald Fagen __________ Shownotes: Youtube-Kanal von Carolyne Mas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVgiU5rjS4jvv9_cC7boXQ Website Carolyne Mas: https://carolynemas.com/ Das legendäre “Freedom!” Video von George Michael: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diYAc7gB-0A Alica Keys perfomt ihre Lieblings Songs von “As I Am” im Studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeDZ8Me7iEc Alicia Keys Interview der Vogue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwZjWigTTHM Youtube-Kanal von Client Liaison: https://www.youtube.com/@clientliaisonmusic Podcast-Tipp: SWR2 Wissen: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/swr2-wissen/8758500/ __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond

David Paich is a prolific musician and songwriter who's perhaps most well known for writing and co-producing Toto's classic song, “Africa.” Before David co-founded Toto with drummer Jeff Porcaro in 1977, he was an innovative keyboardist and session player. David honed his chops early growing up in L.A. where he worked under the tutelage of his father Marty Paich—an esteemed composer who worked with artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and Mel Tormé. While in college at USC David started playing keyboard professionally and touring with Sonny & Cher. From there he went on to co-write and play on Boz Scaggs' multi-platinum album Silk Degrees. He also worked extensively with Quincy Jones, playing on multiple iconic albums including Michael Jackson's Thriller and Bad. All throughout his work as a session musician, David also served as Toto's principal songwriter and wrote chart-topping hits like “Rosanna,” “Hold The Line,” and of course, “Africa.” On today's episode Justin Richmond talks to David Paich about what it was like to be such an accomplished player at such a young age. He shares crazy stories about working with Michael Jackson and Quincy on Thriller, and how he came up with the intro to Michael Jackson's “Human Nature,” a song written by Toto's drummer, Jeff Porcaro. He also plays parts from some of the best songs he's written, and talks about how they came to be.

Episode 106 Electronic Music of Dune Playlist Toto, “Main Title,” “Robot Fight,” and “Dune (Desert Theme)” from Main Title / Robot Fight / Dune (Desert Theme) (1984 Polydor). A single produced from the soundtrack of the David Lynch film version of Dune (1984). Toto, with its big synthesizers, created most of the soundtrack, although Brian Eno, Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois had one track (included later in this podcast). Bass, David Hungate; Drums, Percussion, Jeff Porcaro; Guitar, Steve Lukather; Keyboards, David Paich, Steve Porcaro. 6:36 David Matthews, “Part I: Arrakis,” “Part II: Sandworms,” “Part III: Song Of The Bene Gesserit,” “Part IV: Muad'Dib” from Dune (1977 CTI Records). Arranged by David Matthews and produced by Creed Taylor for his CTI jazz label, this was an extended work inspired by the novel by Frank Herbert. Cliff Carter plays the solo synth (mini-Moog?) on the first track and other places. The work is jazz with bits of electronic music blended into the instrumentation. It remains an interesting artifact partly because of the legal problems CTI faced once they released the album. Because CTI had not secured writer Frank Herbert's authorization to use his novel Dune as the thematic center piece for the album, Herbert filed a law suit against CTI and won, forcing the label to delete it from catalog. For this reason, that interesting album was never reissued in the USA. Enjoy. Alto Saxophone, David Sanborn; Bass, Mark Egan; Bass Trombone, Dave Taylor; Concertmaster, Sanford Allen; Drums, Andy Newmark, Steve Gadd; Flute, Piccolo Flute, Dave Tofani; Guitar, Eric Gale, Hiram Bullock; Keyboards, Cliff Carter; Oboe, Clarinet, Lew Del Gatto; Percussion, Gordon Gottlieb, Sue Evans; Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Grover Washington, Jr.; Trombone, Jerry Chamberlain*, Sam Burtis, Tom Malone, Wayne Andre; Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Burt Collins, Jim Bossy, Joe Shepley, John Gatchell, Jon Faddis, Lew Soloff, Randy Brecker; Vocals, Googie Coppola. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, June 1977. The first side is the Dune suite, the second side features interpretations of other sci fi film themes (Silent Running, Star Wars, etc.). 20:29 Frank Herbert reading Dune from Dune, The Banquet Scene (1977 Caedmon Records) combined with a track by Alan R. Splet, “Space Travel W/ Changing Choral Textures” (2003 Sub Rosa) from An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music / Second A-Chronology 1936-2003. The recording of Herbert was made at the height of the Dune craze, the late 1970s. When David Lynch made his film for release in 1984, he was working with Splet who is not credited by whom may have contributed some electronic and ambient sounds. This track appears to confirm that and I've combined it with the Herbert reading. 5:07 Brian Eno, Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois, “Prophecy Theme” from Dune (Original Soundtrack Recording) (1984 Polydor). This little track was the only one that remained of Eno's contributions to the Dune soundtrack, although he reportedly composed an entire movie's worth of music for the film. Some was used as incidental music. 4:21 Zheani, “The Litany Against Fear” from Eight (2018 Sleepcvlt). Cassette release from this Australian rapper, electronic musician, model and actress.This is a famous quote from Herbert's Dune and seemed fitting to have it represented by a musician for the podcast. 0:36 Klaus Schulze, “Dune” from Dune (1979 Brain). Yes, Schulze, too, was infected with the Dune craze and created this ambitious 30-minute work to acknowledge it. This is a truly lovely electronic work from those days when Schulze was largely still working analog synthesis, and synthesize voices and orchestral sounds, much like his earlier album X. The cello is played by Wolfgang Tiepold, produced by and all keyboards by Klaus Schulze. The first side comprises the piece called Dune and the second side features an unrelated work with vocals by Arthur Brown. An intriguing album all around! 30:05 Graeme Revell & The City Of Prague Philharmonic, “Seduction” from Frank Herbert's Dune (Original Soundtrack From The Sci-Fi Channel Mini Series) (2001 GNP Cresendo). Composed by Graeme Revell; executive producer, Neil Norman; orchestra, chorus, The City Of Prague Philharmonic. This is the soundtrack for a Sci Fi channel mini-series back in 2001. The music is primarily orchestral, being performed in the Czech Republic and arranged by Neil Norman, Hollywood veteran of science fiction films. But Revell did compose it and there are a few tracks, such as the one featured here, that have clearly electronic elements that stand out. 1:51 Grimes, “Caladan” from Geidi Primes (2011 No Pain in Pop). Grimes' first album was a concept album based on Frank Herbert's novel Dune and David Lynch's 1984 film adaptation of the book. This track is about the fictional home planet of the Atreides, the protagonist clan in the novel. Produced by, written by, played by Grimes. She used relatively simple sounds, overdubs, and interesting vocal mixes to tell these tales. 2:23 Kurt Stenzel, “Parallel World” (1:42), “Parallel World (Outro)” (1:04), “Leap Of Faith” (0:43), “Time And Space” (2:04), “Optical World” (2:56), “Nebula” (2:26), and “Invitation” (excerpt) from Jodorowsky's Dune (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2014 Cinewax). This is a bit of a side-hustle because Alejandro Jodorowsky's much hyped film version of Dune, which he sought to make in the 1970s, does not exist. It is one of the most famous movies that never existed. Still, the Chilean-French film director, producer, composer, actor stuck with the idea for quite some time until the David Lynch movie was produced in the 1980s and sucked all of the available Dune oxygen out of the room. But Jodorowsky's passion for the project inspired others, including guitarist and synthesist Stenzel who produced this soundtrack to a 2014 documentary about Jodorowsky and the ill-fated project. Stenzel composed music inspired by the book. This double LP has 33 tracks and I focused on a selection of connected synth tracks from the first album. Moog Source, CZ-101s, Roland Juno 6, toy Concertmate organ, Ninendo DS, voice, Kurt Stenzel. 11:56 Klause Schulze, “Side E—"Der Hauch Des Lebens (The Breath of Life) Pt #1” from Deus Arrakis (2022 SPV Recordings). Dune remained a lifelong source of fascination for Schulze. This, his final album, was also inspired by the novel he loved so well. This is a three-LP set, but the first LP is single-sided. Because of his ill health, Schulze knew that this might be his final project. In the liner notes he wrote directly to his fans, saying, “Thank you for your great support over all these years. This is for you! May the spice be with you. Always.” Recorded and written by Klaus Schulze; Cello, Wolfgang Tiepold; Voice, Eva-Maria Kagermann. 16:24 Han Zimmer, “Arrakis” from The Art And Soul Of Dune (Companion Book Music) (2021 WaterTower Music). Zimmer composed the soundtrack for the Denis Villeneuve released in 2021. Villeneuve has praised Zimmer's work on the film and that he had spent,"months and months creating new instruments, defining, creating, and seeking new sounds, pushing the envelope." In addition to a soundtrack for the film itself, Zimmer released two companion releases that provide an extended listen to the sounds and experiments that were created for the project. Three albums were released for the film by WaterTower Music, including The Dune Sketchbook (Music from the Soundtrack), Dune (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), and The Art and Soul of Dune on September 3, September 17, and October 22, 2021, respectively. This work is from the reading companion to the film. 13:28 Opening background music: Hans Zimmer, “The Shortening Of The Way” from The Dune Sketchbook (Music from the Soundtrack) (2021 WaterTower Music). This track is from a companion 2-CD set that accompanied the actual soundtrack. Zimmer called these sketches and they represent his sound experiments as he formulated the music for the film. This grand combination of acoustic instruments and synth sounds from Zimmer's private studio is stunning in its scope and virtuosity and highly recommended. Synth programming by Hans Zimmer. 11:14 Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

The Greatest Non Hits

Power ballads riddled with strings! These tracks are unique and triumphant in many ways, but that doesn't mean we necessarily like them all that much.We powered ourselves through and got in touch with something we might have been neglected...OUR FEELINGS. That's right, we still have them somewhere... just need to jump start them a bit. And this album will do that. David Paich and Jeff Porcaro and crew are some of the most renowned studio musicians of this time period and deserve mad props for crushing it in their own style. If you're in our camp, we have some funny bevis and butthead-esque moments that will keep you from hurling. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan, Tim would prefer the screech of the witch king of Angmar, leader of the Nazguls, over a lot of these songs, especially "I Wont Hold You Back".Enjoy!Support the show

Seja bem vindo ao RÁDIOFOBIA Classics, nosso podcast musical apresentado por Leo Lopes! Nesta atração apresentamos um pouco da história dos principais artistas da música mundial, assim como alguns de seus maiores sucessos, revivendo um estilo de programas especiais que costumávamos ouvir no rádio nos anos 1980 e 1990. Nossa intenção é apresentar uma visão geral da história musical desses grandes artistas e ilustrar o programa com trechos de algumas de suas músicas mais conhecidas! Formada em 1977 em Los Angeles, por um curto período entre o final dos anos 1970 e início dos anos 1980 a banda Toto esteve no topo do mundo. Com sucessos como Hold the Line, Rosanna e, claro, Africa, a banda foi uma das mais tocadas no rádio, mesmo que nunca tenha sido amada pela crítica. Brigas e dramas constantes e também a tragédia os acompanhou por décadas, desde os problemas de dependência de drogas de seus integrantes até os eventos bizarros envolvendo a morte de Jeff Porcaro em 1992. Por ter sido formada por músicos veteranos de estúdio, uma característica marcante da banda é a sua qualidade técnica, assim como a combinação de diferentes estilos musicais tais como pop, rock, soul, funk, R&B, blues e jazz. Individualmente, as performances dos membros da banda podem ser ouvidas em surpreendentes 5.000 álbuns que juntos acumulam um histórico de vendas de MEIO BILHÃO de discos, e hoje tem sua história contada na primeira edição de 2023 do Rádiofobia Classics!

Robert Neil Speaks with… Chuck Smith (a.k.a. Stray Deuce), musician/singer/songwriter. “I really enjoy finding artists whose names you might not know, but who have made important contributions to popular music.  Chuck Smith, who goes by the stage name Stray Deuce, is one of those artists.  He's been in the music industry for decades and has played with some of the best musicians in the business.  At a young age he was signed to Columbia Records and later earned a contract from Motown Records. “One of Motown's biggest artists, Diana Ross, recorded a song Smith had co-written with Donald Dunn as the title track to her 1977 album ‘Baby It's Me.'  Smith played guitar on the track, which also featured some legendary players, including David Foster, Ray Parker, Jr., Jeff Porcaro and Lee Ritenour. “In this interview, we talk about Smith's career and influences.” - Robert Neil   Robert Neil recommends the following Stray Deuce songs: “Billie Sings” “Bluebell Marie” “Him” “The Real Skunk Funk”

In this episode, John remembers the great Jeff Porcaro whom we lost August 5, 1992. Joining John is a legendary group of Jeff's friends and contemporaries and a literal “who's who” of the drumming community, including Jim Keltner, Vinnie Colaiuta, John Robinson, Rick Marotta, Stan Lynch, Gregg Bissonette, Gary Mallaber, Jody Cortez, David Garfield, John Good, Rich Mangicaro, Robyn Flans, Harry McCarthy, Ross Garfield and Paul Jamieson. They discussed Jeff's incomparable body of work, his incredible time and feel, and the deep love and respect he had from everyone. John also read messages from Jeff's brother, Steve Porcaro, “Toto" keyboardist and co-founder, David Paich, and legendary session bassist, Bob Glaub. Some heartwarming and funny stories were shared by all, with the common thread being Jeff's sense of humor, and his incredible generosity, both as a musician, and as a person.
