He himself recognized that "the LP is finished in relation to the recording, selection of topics and in many cases the mixture. The problem is that parts of some issues still have my voice because of this situation. ".
Finally, the fifth-Mayer studio album will be released on 22 May.

The Evangelists, February 2012
It seems that February comes to an end giving a respite environment. The harshness of the cold diluted. The noons are nicer. The street becomes a little more palatable. The South makes us a little closer. Sounds like a good time to open windows, usher in new life. A suitable time to meet the proposed Evangelists, the group created by members of The Planets and Lizard Nick to give a sense homage to flamenco Enrique Morente, who died just over a year. This project came to a few concerts, but the naturalness and the weight of the songs that were born, recalled to the realization of all this homage to a disc. 'Tribute to Enrique Morente' goes on sale this February 21, and to speak a little of it we are in Barcelona with Eric Jimenez (drums of The Planets, Lizard Nick and Napoleon Solo) and Antonio Arias (voice of Nick Lizard) . They are 50% of the Evangelists, the other half are Jack and Florent Munoz of The Planets.
Eric and Antonio seem to hold up well in the promotional hustle. You see them proud to present this tribute to Enrique Morente, of whom they speak as a teacher. The Flemish artist left deep dent in them, despite living apparently separate music venues. Eric says it "was a pivotal figure, a key piece especially for people who did not like flamenco. Closer to a world that has always been very closed with doors, and we have had the good fortune to know him and make us fall in love with an art, and he falls in love with us with the same opening. Then when you get there yourself, an ambassador of flamenco so great that for which we have moved by the standards of rock 'n roll has always pulled back a little, Henry made his art you'll love, so it is important that people know his work. " This shows the natural admiration and respect with which to start this tribute album. A complex process for the separation of styles that comment Evangelists, but the admiration and curiosity that lead to close the gap until you get to be diluted. "Trying to cover every facet of his work is a daunting task, but it is the intention of the album. Sometimes you try to summarize the most mystical, but when you try to address other parts of his repertoire quickly appear cheerful passages, where you see your soul. When you want to summarize something so big, once you miss, "said Antonio Arias.
The work and the artistic ability of Enrique Morente was capitalized, which is a complex process taking hand of his work. But all this has been reaping the fruits of years of mutual cooperation and coexistence nearby. Eric and Antonio explained that the relationship with the family of Morente was a facilitator of this approach to reality flamenco. The singer's wife and daughter Soleá actively involved in some of the songs. Pain, therefore, be bartered in the recording sessions with emotion and memory. Moreover, both as Lizard Planets Nick had worked in various collaborations with Morente, as the album 'Omega' (The European, 1996) jointly published the banda of Antonio Arias and Henry himself. The ability to want to learn beyond their natural habitat by the Flemish artist was a constant to understand his greatness. Evangelists themselves tell the story once they found Enrique Morente in a concert of Massive Attack, looking closely at the computers to try to understand how the music worked. In this regard Eric explains, "Morente was the common point between Lizard and Planets. Who has worked with Enrique know certain parameters, has stuck by him a few genes, a genetic code, a virus infects you in a way that makes you appreciate those things you know Enrique was on freedom of establishment, size, etc.. When we'd start working on songs all flowed and most times we forget that it was not. We had the impression that any time he came to sing. Also, what themes were chosen to weave the disc adds that "have picked the songs that we liked and we have impacted first. Songs in which Henry has a lot of copyright and that has taken over. Here we explain that flamenco in its most mystical has connections to the new wave of the eighties and after punk. Elements who wanted to promote and play with them. To the point of using the reverberation of Jesus & Mary Chain to represent sounds and environments like a drawer and a flamenco guitar to match atmospheres that could not otherwise get. "This process is like watching the same film from different angles. One thing is to make a record with him and another to do about it. It is trying to cover a boundless character, "says Antonio.
The conversation continues to advance and the same air of respect and admiration for the late artist remains the leitmotiv that colors his words. They are artists who speak and honoring their way to an icon, almost sacred land. The issue is causing some controversy with flamenco purists, as all do not understand the review that can do the work of Morente. Antonio Arias says that this album is an act of defiance in Andalusia, this is some debate that they are not interested or want to revive. All this at a time when it seems that the folk and traditional music live a sweet moment, but Eric Jimenez believes that these are labels and is normal and beneficial for independent artists like to look at your past to continue in his creative process. "We have already thrown too many years feeding on roots culturally from others, and I find it interesting that any roots delve into why it is where you can dig deeper" concludes in a didactic way. In this regard Antonio cree "you have to be honest with yourself. If you know things have to express them. "
Admiration, naturally, wandering in curiosity and underground attitude is, in short, the elements that have worked Evangelists to carry out this tribute to Enrique Morente. A set of qualities that always framed their relationship with the Flemish artist and is constantly denote the words of Eric Jimenez and Antonio Arias when talking about his mentor. The outlook for this 'Tribute to Enrique Morente' are then very promising. The March 1 will be a good day to participate collectively in this collective tribute, as the Evangelists will be presenting their album in a setting as special as the Palau de la Música in Barcelona.

Death of Michael Davis, one of the pioneers of punk
The Whitney Houston has not been the only serious loss that has been in the last days the world of music. Michael Davis, MC5 bassist known to have been considered one of the pioneers of the punk scene, died last Friday at age 68 after suffering a long (and terrible) disease.
Born June 43, the musician won the attention of the media after being signed by MC5 in 1964 as subtituto Pat Barrows, an original member of the legendary band. Davis recorded three albums with the group, one of them was the legendary "Kick Out The Jams", and finally leave the formation at 72. Besides his work with MC5 bassist was a member of Blood Orange, Rich Hopkins and Luminaries and launched a project in 2006 - "The Music Is Revolution" - to promote his wife of music education in public schools.
The punk world has lost one of those figures that marked an important precedent in the musical culture that we met today. Unfortunately we are left with the desire to enjoy the production that he and Sonny Vincent were going to record soon in Belgium.

Girls Names - Gloomy Twee
So the cover for the single released on Slumberland "black saturday" that the Northern Irish band Girls Names are presented here looks so much time off after Gothic.
But although there is already a certain tendency to the dark corners of the music, the girls names but are significantly more "upbeat" and associated more with guitar pop. Oh yes, it even gives the song a free download.

Unrecognized Shoegazeperlen
Continue with my little music reviews - today it is once again in the U.S., after the ebbing of the first big wave represented the beginning of the 90s for a long time a stronghold for (unknown) great bands.
Alison's Halo were as a band that never made it into the major newspapers and music is their only album, "Eyedazzler" (a type of their best songs from 1992-1996), a real rarity. Here are the songs that the duo has to offer from Arizona, some of the best, it has to offer this kind of music. First and foremost, "Leech" and "Slowbleed" - classic floating Shoegazegitarren how I like them especially. Supposedly, the band is working on new material.
