Storia Di Musica #337 - The Fixx, Reach The Beach, 1983

La spiaggia del secondo disco di questa serie agostana di copertina che ritraggono un tratto di spiaggia è piuttosto particolare: un uomo, sembra faticosamente, cerca di raggiungere la corata spiaggia quando ancora è semi immerso nelle acque. Il disegno è opera di uno dei più grandi designer di cover inglese, George Underwood, famoso per i suoi lavori con i T.Rex, per David Bowie (di cui era grandissimo amico, e fu lui a ritrarlo nella posa leggendaria di Ziggy Stardust) e della band di oggi, i The Fixx.

La band nacque con il nome The Portraits nel 1979 quando il cantante Cy Curnin e il batterista Adam Woods formarono la band mentre erano al college a Londra. Insieme al tastierista Rupert Greenall, i Portraits ebbero un piccolo successo, pubblicando un paio di singoli prima di sciogliersi alla fine del 1980 e presto riformarsi come The Fix con il chitarrista Jamie West-Oram e il bassista Charlie Barrett. Il gruppo pubblicò in modo indipendente il singolo Lost Planes nel febbraio 1981, che attirò l'attenzione della MCA Records che offrì un contratto al gruppo. Tuttavia, preoccupata per le allusioni e le implicazioni alle droghe del nome, impone di cambiarlo, e la band decide di aggiungere un’altra x, The Fixx. Il loro album di debutto di successo del 1982, Shuttered Room, conteneva due brani che ottennero un notevole successo nelle classifiche, e che qualche volta capita anche di risentire in qualche emittente radio più attenta e curata nelle scelte musicali, Stand Or Fall e Red Skies.

La registrazione per Reach the Beach iniziò più tardi nel 1982 con il produttore Rupert Hine. Barrett era stato sostituito nel tour precedente da Alfie Agius, che iniziò le sessioni di registrazione come bassista del gruppo ma lasciò il gruppo prima che l'album fosse completato. Il disco è il picco musicale di un gruppo che parte con l’intento di inserirsi nel predominante filone post punk del periodo, ma lo fa con idee molti interessanti e un uso direi innovativo e singolare dei campionamenti e dell’elettronica. L’album inizia con il loro più grande successo più grande successo, il riff funky di chitarra e basso, di One Thing Leads To Another, una delle Hit dei primi anni ’80: accompagnato da un video di successo di MTV, One Thing Leads To Another ha raggiunto il quarto posto nelle classifiche pop statunitensi e la vetta delle classifiche in Canada. The Sign Of Fire segue sulla scia di questo interessante funk/dance, dai toni nient’affatto cupi come il nascente e contemporaneo Synth-Pop, brano caratterizzato da un movimento ascendente/discendente tra i suoi due accordi predominanti per un piacevole effetto ipnotico. Ci sono alcuni passaggi creativi mentre attraversiamo la sezione centrale della canzone, che è l'unica con la partecipazione del futuro membro della band Dan K. Brown al basso. Segue la spastica e sconnessa Running, tra new wave e alcuni passaggi più melodici. La futuristica Saved By Zero ha ambizioni più grandi e profonde sia dal punto di vista sonoro che dei testi: effetti di synth strategici che si fondono con gli abbellimenti vocali di Curnin insieme ai nervosi riff di chitarra di West-Oram. Dal punto di vista dei testi, la canzone parla della ricerca della semplicità con la perdita delle cose materiali "della liberazione che ottieni quando non hai più nulla da perdere". Opinions chiude il bel primo lato del disco, costruito sulla voce quasi a cappella di Curnin nella strofa introduttiva e su un arrangiamento musicale che emerge lentamente fino a quando la canzone finalmente si materializza completamente. Il secondo lato originale dell'album contiene brani più cupi e malinconici. La title track Reach The Beach è una canzone synth/pop guidata dal semplice riff di tastiera e basso synth di Greenall insieme a diverse sezioni sonore elettroniche. Liner funziona come una rappresentazione elettronica di funk e soul con Agius che aggiunge qualche abile basso slap e Greenall che replica una sezione di fiati sul synth. Privilege si ispira chiaramente al rock elettronico tedesco di qualche anno prima, Outside è guidata dal ritmo costante alla batteria di Woods. Questo funge da spina dorsale per il riff di chitarra lento di Jamie West-Oram e la voce solista piena di sentimento di Curnin.

Reach the Beach ha raggiunto il picco nella Top 10 delle classifiche degli album di Billboard e alla fine è stato certificato multi-platino con vendite milionarie. Il gruppo continuò con un modesto successo fino alla fine degli anni '80 e fino agli anni '90, ma non raggiunse mai più le vette commerciali di questo album. Curnin e West-Oram suoneranno nelle canzoni I Might Have Been Queen e Better Be Good To Me nel disco di Tina Turner del 1984 Private Dancer. Nello stesso anno nel videoclip di una loro canzone, Are We Ourselves?, dal disco Phantoms, apparirà per la prima volta in assoluto un telefono cellulare (una versione modificata di un Motorola KR999). Un loro brano, Deeper And Deeper, farà parte della colonna sonora del film Streets Of Fire del 1985. Sono stati un interessante gruppo, di quelli poco conosciuti ma musicalmente molto stimolanti (che è categoria tra le mie preferite, ormai lo sapete) e che in questo disco hanno dato prova eccellente delle caratteristiche di un genere musicale.

The War's Only War Criminal

Andersonville Prison in Sumter County ranks as one of America's greatest tragedies. Designed for 10,000 men, it was occupied up to 40,000, and 13,000 died of disease, malnutrition, and polluted water. For a while, the camp was terrorized by a group of prisoners called the Raiders, who stole food and killed any who dared oppose them. Those despicable men were arrested and tried by their fellow inmates. Six were executed, their graves separated from honorable soldiers.

The original commandant of Andersonville died before war's end, so his replacement, Henry Wirz, was held to account. A kangaroo court held in Washington, D.C., convicted Wirz of various crimes, and he was executed and buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

The tiny village of Andersonville sits not even a mile away from the Andersonville National Cemetery and prison site. Believing Wirz innocent of any crime, a substantial monument was raised there for his vindication. The Civil War's only war criminal is honored near the site of the horrors of Andersonville.

In the cemetery is the grave of the first prisoner to die at Andersonville, Adam Swarner, in grave 1. (His brother was buried in grave 4005.) R. Hanson was the last (12,807). The only decorated stone, bearing a peace dove, belongs to L. S. Tuttle (12, 196). Other Federals who died in Georgia were reburied here following the war, including John Rupert (13,696) and John Hines (13,697)-the last soldiers killed in the war. They were victims of friendly fire during the capture of Jefferson Davis at Irwinville.

Rupert Hine - Surface Tension

[whileiamdying]

Die QUEEN

„PRIVATE DANCER” eröffnete 1984 sensationell die glänzende zweite Karriere der großen Sängerin VON ARNE WILLANDER

SIE HATTE 36 CENT UND EINE TANKKARTE, ALS SIE Ike Turner verließ und in ein Hotel in Dallas flüchtete. Und sie musste für die ausgefallenen Konzerte der Tournee bezahlen. Ike glaubte, dass Tina bald zurückkehren werde: Er überließ ihr die Kinder, um den ökonomischen Druck zu erhöhen.

Aber Tina kehrte nicht zu ihm zurück.

Ihre Auftritte in kleinen Clubs fanden vor zweihundert Zuschauern statt. Sie musste wieder von vorn beginnen. Die Musik hatte sich geändert, die Produktionsmethoden, die Vermarktung. Donna Summer war mit „Love To Love You Baby" der Star der Stunde, die Bee Gees machten jetzt Disco. Tina nahm das Album „Rough“ auf, es war ein Misserfolg. 1979 übernahm der australische Produzent Roger Davies das Management. Die nächste Platte, „Love Explosion“ (1979), belehnte den Disco-Sound, als er beinahe vorbei war. Davies hörte die engeschen Flektronik-Pop-Bands, die Anfang der 80er-Jahre reüssierten, darunter die British Electric Foundation, die aus Ian Craig Marsh und Martyn Ware, den Musikern von The Human League, bestand. Mit Ware nahmen sie 1983 eine Version von Al Greens „Let's Stay Together“ auf, die Platz 5 der englischen Charts erreichte und Rang 21 in den USA. Mit Capitol Records schlossen sie einen Vertrag für ein Album.

Das Album war „Private Dancer“ und erschien im Mai 1984. Auf dem Papier ist es ein eklektischer Mischmasch aus alten Songs und neu geschriebenen Stücken: Mark Knopfler gab Tina „Private Dancer“, Terry Britten schrieb „What's Love Got To Do With It“ und „Show Some Respect“ (mit Sue Shifrin), Rupert Hine „I Might Have Been Queen“ Dazu „Let's Stay Together“, Ann Peebles' „I Can't Stand The Rain“, „Better Be Good To Me“ von Holly Knight und Mike Chapman, „Help!“ von den Beatles, „1984“ von David Bowie und „Steel Claw“ von dem irischen Songschreiber Paul Brady. Unter den acht Produzenten sind Terry Britten, Rupert Hine, Martyn Ware und Joe Sample.

Die Platte ist also nicht kohärent. Ja, stimmt, aber sie ist auf interessante Weise nicht kohärent. Sie klingt absolut zeitgenössisch. Sie klingt wie Soul, ist aber Rock. Sie vereint die Talente vollkommen unterschiedlicher Autoren und Produzenten in dem Talent von Tina Turner, unverkennbar zu sein.

Auf dem Cover ist Tina Turner die Löwin in schwarzem Kleid und Netzstrümpfen, die Lippen rot geschminkt. Der an den Mund geführte Zeigefinger sagt beides: “Komm her!" und “Du kannst mich mal!". Die schwarze Katze im Vordergrund sieht aus wie ein Puma. Auf der Rückseite sind Tinas Beine aufs, die Erwachen zu sehen. Es ist die Art von Plate, und die sich Sene sich ins Wohnzimmer stellten. Und die sie wirklich hörten. Private Dancer* Nurde gekauft wie verrückt. Tina war 45 Jahre alt.

Das Comeback gehört zu den großen Mythen der Rockmusik (des Films, des Theaters, der Literatur, des Boxsports, des Lebens). Tina Turners Comeback war die Wiederkehr einer Frau, von der viele Menschen noch nie gehört hatten, zumal in Europa. Sie hatte eine Geschichte, das war klar, aber die Geschichte musste jetzt erst erzählt werden. Mit Kurt Loder erzählte sie die Geschichte in der Autobiografie „I, Tina“ Ihr Lieblingsfilm sei der zweite „Mad Max“ sagte sie. 1985 spielte sie im dritten „Mad Max“ „Jenseits der Donnerkuppel“, mit aufgerüschtem Kopfputz, ein bisschen wie die Acid Queen in „Tommy“. Der Titelsong „We Don't Need Another Hero“ wurde ein Riesenhit. Bei Live Aid sang sie in Philadelphia „State Of Shock“ mit Mick Jagger, der damals sein erstes Soloalbum, „She's The Boss“, herausbrachte. Sie zog dieses Duett einem Auftritt mit David Bowie in London vor. Später erzählte sie freimütig, dass sie seit den Sechzigern in Jagger verliebt war; 1966 war sie im Vorprogramm einer Tournee der Rolling Stones. 1986 erschien „Break Every Rule“. Damals wurden Schallplatten noch an den Supermarkt-kassen verkauft, und „Break Every Rule“ ist eine Kassenplatte. Man kam einfach nicht an ihr vorbei.

„Typical Male“ röhrte aus dem Radio. Wie überhaupt „die Röhre“ zum Synonym für Tina Turner wurde. Und das andere Synonym war die Löwen-mähne, der “Shag", eine der ikonischen Frisuren der 80er-Jahre, wie man heute sagen würde. Variationen dieser Haartracht trug Tina bis zur letzen Platte, Ende der 90er-Jahre.

The History Behind the 1989 Song “Rooms on Fire” by Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks’ “Rooms on Fire” is a song from her fourth solo studio album The Other Side of the Mirror (1989). The song, written by Nicks and Rick Nowels and produced by Rupert Hine, was released on April 24, 1989. Up until New Year’s Eve 1999, “Rooms on Fire” was intermittently performed during Nicks’ live concerts; however, it has not been performed live since that time. Nicks intended to…

The Morality of a Paperboy

I was thinking about Rupert Hine while listening to his theme for Savage Steve Holland's Better Off Dead, when my thoughts drifted to the movie itself.

And I only just realized that I had the star of the movie wrong because despite appearances to the contrary, it isn't Lane Meyer (John Cusack) but a character known only as 'Paperboy (who according to IMDB was played by two actors, Joey Tushnet and Sabastian Dungan)' because he understood that sometimes it's the principal that counts, represented by his dogged determination to get the $2 he was owed.

And sure, it likely cost more in terms of time and engineering to attach skis to a bicycle than it would have to forget about the money, but like I said, it's a matter of principal and sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
