Spectres (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Spectres is a rock album by Blue Öyster Cult, released in November 1977 (see 1977 in music). Spectres was eventually certified gold in January 1978 and contained the album rock hits "Godzilla", "Death Valley Nights", and "I Love the Night". In fact, the album cover of Spectres invokes much of the band's literary influences, with the band sitting in a 1940s-era parlor with a bookshelf and grandfather clock in the background. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Spectres_(album)   (236 words)

Boogie Rock Downloads - Download Boogie Rock Music - Download Boogie Rock MP3s Their first two albums were released with barely a ripple, and their third, a live concert document called Drippin' Wet, was the first to scrape the lower reaches of the Top 200 albums. The self-titled debut album was a solid blues-rock album and one of the better showcases for guitar pyrotechnics in a year with more than its share, amid albums by Cream, Blind Faith, the Jeff Beck Group, and Led Zeppelin. Their subsequent studio albums failed to attract as much enthusiasm, and their two live albums, An Evening With the Allman Brothers Band and 2nd Set, released in 1992 and 1995, respectively, were steady but not massive sellers. www.mp3.com /genre/364/subgenre.html   (5917 words)

The Spectres Psychobilly Rock & Roll The Spectres' third full-length release is chock full of grainy B-movie themes, demonic dancing dames, and malignant creature rock as they tell tales of monsters, heartbreak, and insanity. The Spectres, Seattle's gift to hot rod raunch and dead wrecking music, continue to spread the Devil's gospel across the plains of North America with a third album of prime-evil rot 'n' roll music. The Spectres are not a Brian Setzer Orchestra knock-off; they mix good old-fashioned psychobilly with inspired, lampooning lyrics and a demented stage persona. www.thespectres.com /index.php?content=press   (3015 words)

Fresh Music: RetroFresh The mighty Hawk's second album, recorded in the UK and originally released by Charisma Records in 1973. 'Power' is their debut album which was released in 1985 and includes all the original tracks as well as three newer "bonus" tracks courtesy of Robbi Robb.

QUOTICKER - Year review 1965 (www.quoticker.de) As many unknown bands The Spectres covered as well songs of original artists which where big at the time: "Bird Dog"; "The Wanderer"; "Blood Hound"; "Jailhouse Rock" or "Rock around the clock" alongside other songs were played. In spring The Spectres had the opportunity to play in front of a big crowd, when Pat Barlow saved them a show in Orpington, Civic Hall as support band of The Hollies. The Spectres were "Nobodys" in the year 1965, nobody thought about stardom. www.quoticker.de /SQTICKERUKYEARREVIEW65.htm   (642 words)

God Save The Sex Pistols - Glen Matlock Instead of 'Precious', The Spectres next single was 'Stories' which was co-written by Matlock and Art Collins, and was produced by Clive Langer who Glen had played alongside on the Bette Bright tour. An early incarnation of The Spectres came together after the split of the Rich Kids and consisted of a line up of Glen Matlock, Rich Kids guitarist Steve New, former Tom Robinson Band (TRB) guitarist Danny Kustow, and drummer Budgie who was between spells with The Slits, and Siouxsie & The Banshees. Little more was heard of The Spectres and Glen's hope that they would materialise more completely than the Rich Kids had sadly faded. www.philjens.plus.com /rattle/glen_spectres.html   (1371 words)

Freak Emporium - Blue Oyster Cult The band's third album from 1974 is regarded by many as their best. The second of the black and white trilogy (known as such due to the artwork) this BÖC album from 1973 carries on from where the last left off with hard rock riffing and weird occult imagery. One of the true icons of Hard Rock Music reformed in 1998 and these were the results- an album that modernised their hard/progressive/occult rock style whilst remaining unmistakably BOC. www.freakemporium.com /cgibin/list_artist.cgi?artist=Blue+Oyster+Cult   (880 words)

Status Quo biography @ Tartareandesire.com The first single from the new album "The Way It Goes" was released in the UK on March 8th, closely followed by the "Under The Influence" album itself on March 29th. The band decide to use producer Pip Williams for their new album and they embark on a massive world tour to coincide with the release of the 'Rockin All Over The World' single (No.3) and album (No.5), taking them to the Far East, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. The 'Don't Stop' album entered the UK Album Chart at Number Two, giving the band their biggest UK album since 1990's 'Rockin' All Over The Years' compilation. www.tartareandesire.com /bands/statusquo.html   (3702 words)

Amazon.com: Spectres: Music: Blue Öyster Cult BOC were still one studio album away from letting loose with a deliberate attempt at pop-metal (1979's "Mirrors"), but this was the layout for their plan for heavy metal domination. This album is a fun listen, and a wonderful re-living of the golden age of 70's pop metal. I feel their first three albums are the best but this album I listen to over and over and love it. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000025BW?v=glance   (1561 words)

PETER HAMMILL Nadir's Big Chance reviews and MP3 This is the fifth excellent solo album by Hammill: both with VDGG and solo he seemed to be unable to write bad songs during this golden age. On this album, Peter may have been taking the piss out of the then current rock& roll scene (the ill reasoned glam disgust of the lead off track), but while doing so, made one of the ultimate rock& roll albums of the 1970's. It is a first punk album (listen to the songs like: "Birthday Special", "Open Your Eyes", or the title track for instance), which was born a long before a punk era. www.progarchives.com /Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=2280   (1669 words)

Human Drama - Mark Balderas The Fall of 1994 brought a 5th album (Human Drama) and in early 1995 Mark performed with Eva O along with Human Drama members Johnny Indovina and C.J Eiriksson to support her album Demons Fall For An Angels Kiss, produced by Indovina on Cleopatra Records. The recording of an album of keyboard orchestrated Christmas music with friend and classical-trained musician James M. Osborn led to their version of Tchaikovsky's classic "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" to appear on the soundtrack to the motion picture Expert Weapon. The band released a self-titled album in 1983 which received favorable collage radio airplay in Southern California and gave Mark his first experience playing live at several of Los Angeles's famous night spots including the Roxy, The Whiskey A Go-Go and Madame Wong's West on Santa Monica Boulevard. www.humandrama.net /lineup/mb.html   (649 words)

Status Quo - Latest news, reviews and interviews The album is much more blues based, as is their final album on the Pye label, Dog of Two Head. When the album is released the welcome return of Bob Young can be heard immediately and the overall sound is much heavier, cementing the return to form indicated by Under The Influence. By 1970, the group have become simply Status Quo, and after their second album Spare Parts has failed to chart, they leave behind the psychedelia and frilly shirts and adopt a new musical direction, resulting in the release of Down The Dustpipe, the first single to hint at the style of Quo to come. www.contactmusic.com /new/artist.nsf/0/5E95D45CD3F1C53080256EAE003C59B7!opendocument&bio=full   (2832 words)

Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Peter Hammill - Nadir's Big Chance This album is not Hammill's masterpiece, and it isn't quite the work which some legends claim it to be, but it is an interesting progressive diversion from the period. The album begins with the anthemic title track, an "in-your-face" explosion from the Nadir persona as he tries to make his presence known in the music world. The "concept" of this album concerns the life of Rikki Nadir, memorably described in the All-Music Guide as a "dumb garage rocker", as he attempts to break into the music business armed only with loud guitars and an attitude. www.tranglos.com /marek/yes/tr_28.html   (1394 words)

Soundtrack: The Last Samurai - All CDs $5.99 and Free Shipping at yourmusic.com "Spectres In The Fog" is another compelling mix of beauty and violence, starting with a delicate koto melody and rolling drums before crashing percussion and sawing strings turn the mood from bittersweet to battle-ready. 2 Spectres in the Fog - Hollywood Studio Symphony These drums of war and battle cries increase as the score unfolds, making tracks such as "Safe Passage," "Ronin," and "Red Warrior" nearly as tense and striking outside of the film's context as they are in it. www.yourmusic.com /?tc=00YM51945&success=/browse/album/55769.html   (327 words)

SACD Review - Blue Öyster Cult: Agents of Fortune The original album had 10 songs, while this new SACD disc includes a bonus song from the original recording session that was dropped from the release due to space limitations. Interestingly, that LP was the first album that I reviewed for my second high school's newspaper (for my first school's newspaper, the first album I reviewed was by Queen). As a result, their acceptance became more mainstream, virtually guaranteeing FM radio album play. www.thedigitalbits.com /reviewsdvdasacd/bocagentssacd.html   (855 words)

UK Singles 2 This version of "Gerdundula" was the recording from the "Dog Of Two Head" album and not the earlier version of the song that was released as the 'b' side of the "In My Chair" single. Taken from the "Dog Of Two Head" album, "Mean Girl" was issued, as a single, by Pye records in an attempt to follow the success of "Paper Plane". It was planned to issue, an edited version of, "Fakin' The Blues", from the "Rock 'Til You Drop" album, as a single on the 28th. www.status.quo.btinternet.co.uk /sin2.htm   (5747 words)

Blue Oyster Cult Blue Öyster Cult, their debut album, was released in January 1972 and made the lower reaches of the charts. Their third album, Secret Treaties, was released in April 1974 and became their first to break into the Top 100 bestsellers. BÖC's third live album, Extraterrestrial Live, was released in April 1982, followed by the studio album The Revolution by Night in October 1983. landru.i-link-2.net /jtrees/Rock/bios/bio_BLUE_OYSTER_CULT.htm   (501 words)

GALACTICA : "The Ancient, The Modern, The Future" : The Journal of Paganism, Occultism, Mysticism, Existentialism, and Western Culture Next, The Spectres are back to their dark comedy thrills, pulling new tricks out of their greasy sleeves, as "Did It For Elvis" takes you on a Holy Mecca to Graceland, where all infidels meet a grisly fate, as the Sacred Graceland is purified of all nonbeleivers: As much as I enjoyed their debut album, "Rubber Room Rock", this second (and last) album is more amped, more psychotronic, more psychobilly, speedier, with a darker, yet country-blues influence. Afterwards, the theme song of the album, "Blood, Sweat and Nitro", delivers an old school rockabilly instrumental with surf rock influences......J.R.'s drumming and Jesse James Junior's lead guitar, complimented by Austin's big bass boom-boom really make you want to shake a greaser leg.... www.galacticapublishing.com /SpectresBloodSweatNitro.htm   (1134 words)

Making Time- Status Quo - Picturesque Matchstickable Messages The session tracks include a Spectres and Status Quo version of Van Morrison's Gloria and I (Who Have Nothing) that is probably better associated with Shirley Bassey. The CD re-release contains both stereo and mono versions of the album as well as BBC session tracks and interviews from Status Quo and the two earlier, though seemingly identical, Spectres and Traffic Jam. However, a listen to Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Staus Quo shows that this is a very good album, albeit a mix of covers of reworked versions of the hit single. www.makingtime.co.uk /cdrev112004.html   (382 words)

Isengard - Vinterskugge - review @ Tartareandesire.com "Vinterskugge" is the debut album but it does not contain any new music but is only made up of the three demos from 1989 ("Spectres Over Gorgoroth"), 1991 ("Horizons") and 1993 ("Vandreren"). This means that the album is not very coherent but that is not really the most important thing to make music sound good. This is not really the case with and even though it is not a bad album it does not possess this important quality. www.tartareandesire.com /reviews/isengard.html   (264 words)

uh...you're here - tracygreen.com They started with an upbeat (for them) rocker, “RU Ready 2 Rock,” from the Spectres album. The album was made, but BÖC’s manager talked Buck into using the song for the next BÖC record instead of his solo effort. I had heard that they played a song or two from Buck’s solo album back on the east coast over the years, but this was the first time I’d ever heard them do anything from the Buck Dharma, Flat Out album. www.tracygreen.com /bocpart2.html   (2407 words)

Ode To Quo The album 'Ain't Complainin' was released, and Quo also changed their mega song 'Rockin All Over The World' to 'Running All Over The World', which was to be used as the theme song for a charity event "Sports Aid". Their first official album was released after the release of Ice In The Sun, entitled Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from The Status Quo. February 5th, the date that Quo's cover album Don't Stop, is released in the U.K. and literally flies up the charts reaching number 2, then stays in the top 20 for some weeks. members.fortunecity.com /odetoquo/quofullmemories.html   (2128 words)

JR.com: Blue Oyster Cult - Spectres in Music: Hard Rock: SPECTRES found the group continuing to craft material that mated a trademark guitar-driven sound with intelligent lyrics. Allen Lanier's keyboard contributions to SPECTRES are occasionally overlooked despite the fact that the album contains some of his best work.

SA ROCK DIGEST ISSUE #76 The albums have been carefully re-mastered using the latest audio technology and in many cases this process has been overseen by the groups themselves. Despite the 60's pop art cover and the upbeat title of the album, there is a darker side and sound to some of the tracks. Jazz diva Judith Sephuma, who'll release her debut album in early 2001, is also part of the impressive roster. www.sarockdigest.com /archives/issue_76.html   (4749 words)

The Wildhearts - Ask Ginger October 2000 I've recently been trying to play some of the songs off the new album, and have noticed that you seem to have gone to standard tuning with your guitars, rather than dropping a semi-tone as you did with the Wildhearts songs. If you wait for someone to release the album in this country there's a fair chance that you'll be either a) too old / deaf to appreciate it, b) dead, or c) living without it in your life. I recently asked Devin about the Infinity album and the EP that followed, which had a couple of tracks co-credited to you. www.thewildhearts.com /askginger/askginger22.shtml   (1720 words)

Blue Oyster Cult / Spectres album review [plus 'Nosferatu' song lyrics] The song appears on Spectres, a classic album from BOC's middle period. "Nosferatu" is placed on the album back-to-back with another great vampire song, "I Love the Night." Even though the album also includes their huge scaly hit "Godzilla," it's not ALL about monsters. The album also includes plenty of the complex, hard-edged, non-monstery progressive rock they're know for, with standout tracks including "Golden Age of Leather," "Death Valley Nights," and "Fireworks." www.grinningplanet.com /review-lyrics/blue-oyster-cult-spectres-nosferatu.htm   (260 words)

v02.n430 SPECTRES has a lot of would-be pop singles in my mind - too bad it's really only known for Godzilla and for being the follow-up to AGENTS. I quite like that album, aside from the heavy metal guest singer screamer dude on the Frankenstein song. I think your last supposition is closest to the truth, though I'm pretty sure it was a record company decision. www.smoe.org /lists/loud-fans/v02.n430   (1271 words)
