Eindelijk is het dan zover: na de release van zijn uitstekend ontvangen dubbelalbum Mille Plateaux zal Georgio ‘the Dove’ Valentino in december drie keer optreden in België!
Wanneer een artiest referenties opgeeft als Martin Gore, Bobby Beausoleil, Joe Meek, Michel Foucault, Stefan Georg of de satanische dominee Steven Johnson Leyba (die ook het artwork voor de dubbel-LP verzorgde), weet je natuurlijk dat de muziek die hij maakt allesbehalve alledaags zal zijn. Georgio ‘the Dove’ Valentino kan op het ene moment een walsritme inzetten, even later refereren naar de Italiaanse grootmeesters en vervolgens dieper wegduiken in een avantgardistische, minimalistische rockgroove. Eclectisch, dus, maar toch is er altijd een duidelijke rode draad te bespeuren in zowel de sfeer die wordt opgeroepen als de spelstijl van Georgio en zijn muzikanten, gezamenlijk bekend als la Société des Mélancoliques. Ook de band met Tuxedomoon wordt opnieuw aangehaald, deze keer door op 19 december weer het podium te delen met dat legendarisch kunstcollectief.

007 returns. The 24th James Bond film will be called Spectre, according to an announcement by the studio Thursday.
The film will also include new cast members Christoph Waltz, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Andrew Scott and Monica Bellucci. Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as James Bond.
Waltz will play Oberhauser, which could refer to Hannes Oberhauser, a character who was Bond’s ski-instructor and considered his second father, says the Hollywood Reporter.
Spectre refers to a fictional terrorist organization from the James Bond books and films. It stands for Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.
Spike Lee's new stylized thriller DA SWEET BLOOD OF JESUS is a new kind of love story. Dr. Hess Green (Stephen Tyrone Williams) becomes cursed by a mysterious ancient Afrian artifact and is overwhelmed with a newfound thirst for blood. He however is not a vampire. Soon after his transformation he enters into a dangerous romance with Ganja Hightower (Zaraah Abrahams) that questions the very nature of love, addiction, sex, and status in our seemingly sophisticated society.
Another ex-COLD MEAT INDUSTRY act – Eldar - returns with a new album that marks a big step forward! Continuing the evolution of the sound of his previous album, a sound that becomes characterist...
This not the new album! This is Raison d'être from another time and world and sounds quite different! 'Tales from the Tabula Rasa' contains 150 minutes of music and comes in a 6-panel Digipak enriched with photos by Roman Sirotin and painting by Jennifer Gordon and Roman Sirotin. All music by Peter Andersson 1988-1991. Reworked 2014.
'Tales from the Tabula Rasa' presents Raison d'être in its earliest form, when there was no past and only future. This was the birth of Raison d'être and the creative music mind of Peter Andersson. In one way it can be seen as the first particles to the seed that later became the established Raison d'être sound in the 1990's. In the other way it can be seen as the evil twin seed that was left to die in an early stage, like if it was a stillborn or an infanticide. Nevertheless it is a period of time that can not completely be forgotten; a time when the first chapter of Raison d'être was written. The music is heavily influenced by ancient myths, legends, religion, philosophy and history. The output is referred to tales rather than songs. There is a story told in each and every sequence.
Most of the material is previously unreleased on CD but some (few) are known from the collection album 'Reflections from the Time of Opening' (1997/2005). Almost all the tracks are taken from three unofficial cassette releases from 1991, the year when Raison d'être was born. A small portion is even earlier, from a pre-Raison d'être project called D:Combe, active between 1988-1990. All material has been reworked by Peter Andersson in 2014. To the large extent the tracks are still the same, only some very annoying sounds or parts have been removed, and some orchestral sound samples have been replaced with better and more ex- pressive versions. Five tracks from the original cassettes were exluded on the CD-set since they were too irritating. The exclusion made place for the D:Combe material which has been undergoing a more cosmetic treatment through a harmonized reverb becoming more hypnotic and dronelike.
The fragments presented here are from the most experimental recordings, and the normal D:Combe sound was far from this, but still very primitive. Also changed is a pair of known track titles, they have returned to their original idea of spelling.
