New Guitar in Town

On the whole, and even if you’re overly familiar with the material, the DVD-Audio surround mix of ‘Hotel California’ is an engrossing experience; the multi-channel presentation is sensible and the fidelity excellent. In comparison, the two-channel mix is a little disappointing, but only because it doesn’t have the vibrancy and increased presence of the former, which in its own right is enough to place ‘Hotel California’ on my ‘highly recommended’ list.

THE URBAN VOODOO MACHINE: A London collective of shadowy ne’er do wells, led by Norwegian born Paul-Ronney Angel. Featuring between 7 to 12 musicians playing guitars, drums, fiddle, trumpet, banjo, washboard, upright bass, gong, mandolin, accordion, harmonicas, saxophone, tuba, sousaphone and even empty bottles & tie racks to build their unique brand of Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop’n’Stroll… "With their lurching sea shanties, debauched murder ballads, messed-up tangos and whiskey-soaked gypsy stomps, some reckon they’re from the same stable of stallions as Tom Waits and Nick Cave; others point out the last gang in town swagger of The Clash and the hellbound blues that John Lee Hooker first dragged out of the swamp".

Old New Borrowed and Blue was the album that introduced the chrysalis to its audience – not that you'd know it from the opening bellow. Riding a raw guitar line based, very loosely, around the guttural riffing of the Beatles' "Birthday," "Just a Little Bit" cranks in with almost metallic dynamics, even retaining the in-concert ad-libbing that had long since made it a highlight of the live show…

Teach-In was a Dutch band, best known for winning Eurovision Song Contest 1975 with the song "Ding-a-dong". The band was founded in 1969 and parted in 1980. Throughout this time there were several changes in line-up.
The group had been formed in 1969 in Enschede. The first lineup: Hilda Felix (vocals), Henk Westendorp (vocals, later in Superfly), John Snuverink (vocals, guitar), Frans Schaddelee (bass), leader Koos Versteeg (vocals & keys) en Rudi Nijhuis (drums).
