Luck And Strange

David Gilmour - Luck And Strange (2024)

[Rock]

United Kingdom

Rating - 3 Stars

David Gilmour as a musician needs no introduction. Guitarist for Pink Floyd and with an equally impressive solo collection, he is revered worldwide for his talents on guitar, and the 'feel' he and his instrument give to his music. He plays the guitar like no other, but oddly this album is mostly void of that instantly recognisable six-string charm. Opening with the short and moody 'Black Cat', the listener is introduced to the style and pace of the next 45 minutes. The title track follows, and locks into a Pink Floyd bass groove reminiscent of the late 70s. Gilmour's voice is aged and raged, but comfy like slipping on an old pair of shoes. When the chorus breaks it feels like you have been here before, and not because it is repeating anything he has done before - but because his tones (both vocal and guitar) invite you into its welcoming arms like an old friend. Gilmour pushes himself vocally on this album, probably more so than ever before, but it is possibly due to his age that some notes just can't be hit. Some listeners may feel like it adds authenticity, whereas others may just think he is trying too hard. Lead single 'The Piper's Call' certainly doesn't have this issue, and stands as one of the standout tracks of the album. It drips through the speakers like honey from a spoon, so smooth it is almost unbearable until it breaks into another of those great grooves, leading to possibly the best soloing of the entire album. 'A Single Spark' is a mellow affair, that is quaint enough to listen to - but brings nothing new to the repertoire or legacy. 'Vita Brevis' brings a nice harmonic interlude, but at this point it becomes clear that this is a moody album, and mostly crawls rather than walks. It leaves the listener with a touch of tempo fatigue by the mid-point, and as 'Between Two Points' (featuring his daughter Romany on vocals, and a cover of a track by The Montgolfier Brothers) begins, it is clear the old rocker has reached a point where he rocks more in a chair on the porch than on the guitar. Nearing his 80th year, he is content to make music that is mellow and with moods that can't quite be grasped. Music that is both of now and completely timeless. Music that is completely Gilmour-esque whilst also being of a different artist entirely. In fact, it isn't until that distinct soloing style breaks through on songs like this one, that you even know who is playing. This is probably intentional on Gilmour's part, possibly wanting to prove he is more than just a guy with a magical Stratocaster. At song 7, 'Dark And Velvet Nights', the pace picks up for the first time, and whilst it still at a speed for those approaching their final years, it carries some of the punch fans are waiting to hear. It would have better served the album to place it further up front. The album closes with over 7 minutes of 'Scattered', a progressive ballad with a piano freak out and sublime acoustic piece into a classic electric solo, but for the first time in his long career it feels like Gilmour may have just been repeating his best solos of the past. It still gives chills, but sounds just a little too familiar. Luck And Strange is by no means a bad album, but it is certainly an album that only lends itself to a certain mood, and perhaps that is exactly what Gilmour was looking for. An album he could enjoying in his later years. An album made for him and no one else, and if we should happen to enjoy it - then so be it. He's earnt the right to do that.

Grinspoon - New Detention (2002)

[Alternative Rock]

Australia

Rating - 4 Stars

Third release from the band from Lismore who hit stardom thanks to the JJJ Unearthed initiative. Thank God this existed at the time these guys were cutting their chops. Now arguably considered one of the modern Oz music scenes greats. Their first 2 releases along with the E.P.'s were very mature for their age but mindful of the topics they chose to write songs about. I'd argue that this 3rd release was their coming of age. You can tell from the short intro, followed by 'Anyday Anyhow'. It could put the die-hard fan off slightly, but if you wait until the next song 'Lost Control', they aren't turning into posers any time soon, putting a smile on the die-hards. It had been a long time since I listened to this release so it was almost like hearing it for the first time and wow - just wow. I challenge you to find a filler. Even with the likes of 'Chemical Heart' - a tuned down ballad which shows the bands maturity and possibly confidence in their craft to put this on a release. The final track 'Hate' is equally bold way to complete the record. The remainder of the record is a catchy as hell providing numerous opportunities to enact your neck muscles and perhaps your vocals. All tracks within the 3-4 minutes in length as has become familiar for the Grinners. If on first listen it seems at odds, listen again, and again. It'll hook you in and as I say, one of their best in their catalogue on long-players over their career.

'Mascara & Monsters, The Best Of' is a compilation album by Alice Cooper. The album cover features Cooper in the mid-1970s looking at his mascara-eyed monstrous alter-ego.

Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer and songwriter whose career spans sixty years. Originating in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1964, Alice Cooper was originally a band with roots extending back to a band called The Earwigs. After the band broke up, Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and began a solo career in 1975. With a raspy voice and a stage show that features numerous props and stage illusions, including pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, reptiles, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by many music journalists and peers to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock". He has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock audiences. Over his career, he has sold well over 50 million records.

Mediabase 2.0 is a new version of the site being rebuilt, page by page, line by line. Same old look, but with a new engine. You may see an error or two, but don't worry - it will all run smoothly soon.

In the meantime Mediabase 1.0 is still available here.
