Not to be broken with the Spaniards in Nahemah, Nehëmah was a sinister metal set of the pagan-worshipping, hotcake makeup-wearing multifariousness, hailing from the town of Chambéry, in France's picturesque Rhône-Alpes region -- how fitting. Although it was in the beginning conceived by vocalist/drummer/bassist Corven in 1992, the chemical group would only loss their number one album, Lite of a Dead Star, a decennium later, cursorily following it with extra blackened chapters in 2003's Shadows from the Past..., 2004's Requiem Tenebrae, and 2006's In November Live... All of these also counted with the comportment of guitarists Sorghal (jumper cable) and Nocturnos (rhythm), and contemplated subjects dealing in the "dark dimensions of the sprightliness," as well as paying testimonial to ancient goddesses like the one which gave them their list. See? Black metal or non, they're still French.

Little Barrie is a London-based trio whose well-grounded is an exciting blend of concentrated rock candy, blues, person, and funk that calls to head authoritative bands of the '60s like Traffic and Cream, and whose loose and neat earthiness earns it a place near the front of the jam set class. Formed in Nottingham in 2000 by Barrie Cadogan (guitar, vocals), Wayne Fulwood (drums, vocals), and Lewis Wharton (bass), the chemical group released a handful of singles for small labels like Stark Reality and Showdown ahead acquiring signed to Genuine Recordings and start process on its first base album. Produced by indie pop caption Edwyn Collins (whom Cadogan had met patch working in a guitar shop), We Are Little Barrie rack up the shops in February 2005. Recorded over the course of 23 weeks in Collins' studio, working on Wednesdays only due to Collins' fussy schedule, the band concocted an album that sounds both meticulously crafted and bashed out. The record, combined with the group's torrid hot performances, gave Cadogan a repp as one of the best young guitar slingers on the scenery and light-emitting diode to his subbing for Morrissey's guitar player in some live dates and collaborating with Johnny Marr and inspiring Collins to pick up his guitar once more. Artemis Records released the album in the U.S. at the end of June 2005. Before the transcription of their second album, Fulwood, wHO had tired of the rock & roll life-style, left the set. Sophomore record Rack Your Ground was recorded during 2006 in New York with producer Dan the Automator at the helm and Blues Explosion drummer Russell Simins, and in London with Mike Pelanconi producing and new bandmember Billy Skinner on drums. The album was released in 2007 by PIAS/Wall of Sound.

Michael threatens to sink Wham! film

George Michael may ban a film about his pop group Wham!

The band's former manager Simon Napier-Bell, 69, is in talks to bring the story of the group - which featured Michael and Andrew Ridgeley - to the big screen, with a £50 million production.

Napier-Bell - who promises a truthful documentary, showing what really went on behind the scenes during the touring days of Wham! - he fears Michael could pull the plug on the whole project by forbidding him to use any of the band's music in the production.

He said: "There are several people sniffing around my Wham! film, but I'm not sure any of them will come off because they all require Wham! music in them and George controls that. He will have the yes or not on each script presented. George would want control."

Napier-Bell wants the film to concentrate on the band's glory years between 1983 and 1985 when Wham! were at their peak in the charts.

A member of both Gong and Hawkwind, Tim Blake's slow-moving keyboard style has too featured conspicuously in his possess work. His Crystal Machine throw of the mid to late '70s was among the first term of enlistment acts to feature major optical maser light shows. Often compared to Tangerine Dream, Blake has continued to record into the 2000s, with his up-to-the-minute act upon, Tide of the Century, continuing to build on his experimental keyboard style.


Tim Blake was natural on February 6, 1952, in Hammersmith, West London. At dramatic event school day, he became interested in perusing sound. He became mired with the experimental psychedelic mathematical group Gong in 1971. At first he was supposed to be the group's sound valet de chambre, only the job was interpreted from him. He and then briefly served as keyboardist for the mathematical group, only his make for did not please Gong drummer Pip Pyle, and Blake was get go. Far from discouraged, Blake founded the Crystal Machine studio in the south of France. There, he made a demonstration cassette of his act upon on the EMS synthesiser. He and then rejoined Gong in 1972 as the band's keyboardist under the name Hi T. Moonweed. He remained with the band until they bust up in 1976. Meanwhile, with Patrice Warrener, he formed Crystal Machine, which toured behind prima light shows throughout the late '70s. Crystal Machine (1977) is an compartmentalization of tracks from assorted live shows. 1978's Blake's New Jerusalem was the keyboardist's first studio solo phonograph recording.


After a quislingism with Hawkwind's Nik Turner, Blake coupled Hawkwind in 1979. However, he was dropped unceremoniously by the group in 1980 and Blake would perform very minuscule throughout the succeeding decade. He returned with Magick (1991), simply outside of diverse reunification concerts with Gong, remained smooth until 2000's Tide of the Century.
