A Slice Of Life releases new album Tabula Rasa on 23rd September

07th of September 2022, 13:15

23rd September will be the release date of Tabula Rasa, the new album from the Belgian band, A Slice Of Life. It will be presented live on the 29th of September at music café Djingel Djangel in Antwerp.

The new album will contain 12 songs and a remix of Coraline, a song from the debut album.

A Slice Of Life remains true to its musical roots, which is a mixture of post-punk, alternative (garage) rock and wave. The live reputation is well known and of a very high level. And when we say live, we mean live: every instrument is played live. Singer Dirk Vreys' Robert Smith sound shines through in several songs. When you know him, you will recognize also the timbre of icons like Robert Smith, Ian Curtis, Bowie and others. Add to that a group of great musicians and you know it's going to be fire and sparks!

The first single, Seven Days, is a foretaste of an album that really stands out. I was allowed to listen to it already and believe me: this album is a stunner. Just a little more patience...

Listen to the single to get in the mood.

BIMFEST celebrates 20th edition with smashing line-up featuring Front 242 & Test Department!

06th of September 2022, 12:32

This year the Belgian non-profit organisation, BODYBEATS PRODUCTIONS, is celebrating the 20th edition of its world renowned, congenial alternative underground music festival; BIMFEST, or Belgian Independent Music Festival to give its full title. This year they have succeeded once again in putting together a varied and enticing international line-up!

As the BIMFEST tradition dictates, we are served a host of established names including Alvar (SE), Fïx8:Sëd8 (D), The Juggernauts (B), Soft Riot (UK) and Severe Illusion (SE), complemented by somewhat newer, perhaps lesser known, but definitely not to be missed, shooting stars! Such as TC75 (D), Nuclear Sludge (SE), Potochkine (FR), Tilly Electronics (D) and Sierra (FR). As well as the smashing electro they bring, those last three acts have also another thing in common, a strong and mesmerizing front woman!

One of the other infamous BIMFEST traditions is bringing back long inactive bands and artists for an exclusive live show at BIMFEST… and look, this year they managed to awaken the legendary Belgian electro-industrial duo SONAR (B) from over 8 years' hibernation, for an exclusive 2022 show at BIMFEST XX!

Of course, the absolute icing on this 20th BIMFEST edition cake is the appearance of Belgium's pride and THE founders of the EBM (Electronic Body Music) genre, FRONT 242 on Friday 02.12. This legendary combo was already in attendance at the 10 year BIMFEST celebration, so obviously they had to be invited again! Recently these gentlemen had their own 40th anniversary celebration, playing two sold out nights in a row at Ancienne Belgique.

But that is not all! On Saturday 03.12. THE English industrial pioneers TEST DEPT are programmed as headliners! Ten years ago, at the specific request and insistence of BIMFEST, this band was revived after a hiatus of more than 20 years! Their live shows have been known as unmissable spectacles for over 40 years now!

NEWS 41 years ago, Soft Cell's version of ‘Tainted Love’ reached the number one position in the British hit parade!

41 years ago, Soft Cell's version of ‘Tainted Love’ reached the number one position in the British hit parade!

04th of September 2022, 00:00

Today, 41 years ago, Soft Cell's version of ‘Tainted Love’ reached the number one position in the British hit parade while it also became the best-selling single of 1981 within the UK. The song also pushed through to the eighth position in the American Billboard Top 100, in which it lasted no less than 43 weeks. It became also a (number 1) hit in most European countries. Although Soft Cell's version was substantially different from the original version, the original version from 1964 performed by the American Gloria Jones, was re-released in the footsteps of Soft Cell’s success. The song was composed by producer Ed Cobb and originally released as a b-side which did not reach the hit parades.

Soft Cell brought the tempo down and replaced all acoustic instruments and electric guitars with synthesizers and drum computers. The song is said to have been recorded in a day and a half, with Soft Cell singer Marc Almond’s first vocal take being used as the definitive vocal track for the single release.

On the 12” release, the song changes halfway to a medley with ‘Where Did Our Love Go’ originally by The Supremes.

The single also announced the release of the Soft Cell debut album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. An album that was also released as a video album with the title "Non-Stop Exotic Video Show”, hence the original video clip below. Later, in 1991, a new version was recorded with a video directed by musician / director Peter Christopherson (RIP). The latter also covered "Tainted Love" in 1985 with his cult band Coil. Marc Almond can also be seen in Coil’s video clip.

In 2001, Marilyn Manson also successfully ventured into a cover version of Tainted Love. His version managed to penetrate hit parades almost all over the world, in some countries even up to the top 10.

Meanwhile, more than 1.35 million units of Soft Cell’s "Tainted Love" have been sold!


Tainted Love

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away from the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Oh tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want it any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Oh tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go

Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

Vandaag 38 jaar geleden bereikte Soft Cell’s versie van Tainted Love de nummer één positie van de Britse hitparade en werd het de best verkopende single van 1981 in de UK. Het nummer stootte ook door tot de achtste plaats in de Amerikaanse Billboard Top 100, waar het maar liefst 43 weken stand hield. In de meeste Europese landen werd het een (nummer 1) hit. Hoewel Soft Cell’s versie wezenlijk verschilde van de originele versie werd in de voetsporen van hun succes ook de originele versie uit 1964, uitgevoerd door de Amerikaanse Gloria Jones, opnieuw uitgebracht. Het door producer Ed Cobb gecomponeerde nummer werd oorspronkelijk als b-kant uitgebracht en kwam nooit in de hitparades.

Soft Cell bracht het tempo naar beneden en verving alle akoestische instrumenten en elektrische gitaren door synthesizers en drumcomputers. Het nummer werd opgenomen op anderhalve dag tijd en Soft Cell zanger Marc Almond’s eerste ‘take’ werd als definitieve vocal track gebruikt voor deze single release.

Op de 12” release gaat het nummer halverwege over naar een medley met ‘Where Did Our Love Go’, oorspronkelijk een nummer van The Supremes.

De single kondigde meteen ook de release van het Soft Cell debuutalbum Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret aan. Een album dat eveneens als videoalbum werd uitgegeven onder de titel ‘Non-Stop Exotic Video Show’.

Het was naar aanleiding van deze videorelease dat onderstaande originele videoclip werd opgenomen. Later, in 1991, werd een nieuwe versie opgenomen met een video geregisseerd door muzikant/regisseur Peter Christopherson (RIP). Deze laatste coverde ‘Tainted Love’ ook al in 1985 met zijn cultband Coil. In Coil’s videoclip is Marc Almond trouwens ook te zien.

In 2001 waagde ook Marilyn Manson zich aan een coverversie van Tainted Love en mét succes. Ook zijn versie wist over bijna heel de wereld in de hitparades te penetreren, in sommige landen tot zelfs hoog in de top 10.

Ondertussen zijn er al meer dan 1,35 miljoen stuks van Soft Cell’s ‘Tainted Love’ verkocht!

NEWS 45 years ago Iggy Pop released Lust for Life (29th August 1977)

45 years ago Iggy Pop released Lust for Life (29th August 1977)

28th of August 2022, 00:00

Today it’s exactly 42 years ago that Iggy Pop released Lust for Life (29th August 1977). It was his second solo studio album and also his second collaboration with David Bowie, following The Idiot that was released earlier in the same year. As well as achieving critical success, it was Iggy Pop's most commercially popular album to date, and remains his only Gold-certified release in the UK. The recording sessions for this album took place at the Hansa Studio by the Wall (Berlin) between April and June ’77, almost immediately after the The Idiot promotion tour which ended on 16th April.

Pop has stated, "David and I had determined that we would record that album very quickly, which we wrote, recorded and mixed in eight days and because we had done it so quickly, we had a lot of money left over from the advance, which we split.”

Lust for Life reached number 28 in the UK Album Chart and is his second highest-performing release in that country after 2016's Post Pop Depression. Initially the album did well in the US too but the sudden death of Elvis Presley (16th August 1977) caused record label RCA to quickly reissue Presley's catalogue and any promotional focus for Pop's album was lost.

Bowie, Pop and engineer Colin Thurston produced the album under the pseudonym "Bewlay Bros”, a name retrieved from a track on Bowie’s album Hunky Dory.

Besides probably the most popular track Lust For Life, The Passenger also found its way to alternative clubs and dance floors all over the world. Even if it was initially released as the b-side track of the 7” single Success.

Siouxsie and The Banshees made a cover of The Passenger in 1987 for their all-cover-versions album Though The Looking Glass. Iggy Pop praised their version and stated: "That's good. She sings it well and she threw a little note in when she sings it, that I wish I had thought of, it's kind of improved it … The horn thing is good."

David Bowie covered Tonight (minus the opening lines referencing drugs) with Tina Turner, along with Neighborhood Threat, on his 1984 release Tonight.

A1. Lust For Life
