Review & Description

Rize of the Fenix is the third album from Tenacious D and is the follow-up to 2006's gold The Pick of Destiny and 2001's platinum debut album Tenacious D.

Produced by the brilliant John Kimbrough, Rize Of The Fenix was recorded in the garage behind his LA home and features Jack Black and Kyle Gass (Tenacious D's core duo), performing with Dave Grohl (drums), John Spiker (bass, piano, organ) and John Konesky (electric guitar). The album was engineered and mixed by John Spiker who has been touring with the band for years.

From their concentrated effort emerged thirteen profoundly evocative tracks, the making of which the band describes as a "journey similar to that of Gandolph in The Lord of the Rings." When the ill received Pick of Destiny movie failed to strike box office gold, it virtually stripped away the duos rock god stature overnight. "There we no more bouncers waving us through the velvet ropes, we were persona non gratta" said singer Jack Black. Kyle Gass added, "There we were- just like Gandolph the grey, down in the muck- but we never gave up, We defeated our own personal demons and began chipping away, slowly climbing back to the land of the living-when we emerged we were no longer the old Tenacious D, we were Gandolph the white, with new powers and wisdom and bravery and skills."

Rize of the Fenix was recorded over the past six years as Tenacious D went back to their roots. "We recorded down and dirty in a friend's garage with a shoestring budget of 600 dollars, much like Nirvana's first album "Bleach"-or the Beatles first album "Help". Rough and yet a masterpiece."

Review & Description

Adventurer Jeff Johnson strikes so deeply into the heart of Patagonia's wilderness that we come to feel at home there. Retracing the epic 1968 journey of his hero Yvon Chouinard, he gets shipwrecked off Easter Island, surfs the longest wave of his life and prepares himself for a rare summit of Cerro Corcovado. Jeff's life turns when he meets up with an older and wiser Chouinard, while he is in Patagonia to help save its wildlands. ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACK In 2007 I fl ew down to Patagonia with my friends James Mercer and Mason Jennings. My cousin, Chris Malloy (fi lmmaker), and I were excited to have both James and Mason work on music for the fi lm, so bringing them down to see Patagonia with their own eyes seemed mandatory. We told them they didn't have to write or play any music while down there and that we just wanted them to check it out and meet everyone making the fi lm. Then the fi rst camp fi re lit up and guitars and accordions came out. It was not long before Mason and James joined in and gave us a nice night under the stars listening to them trade off on Neil Young covers. In that moment, we didn't really care any more if they helped make music for our fi lm because bringing them down there already felt worth it. When we returned home, the experience was etched so beautifully in our minds but unfortunately it would be a long time before any music was needed. There was miles of footage to go through and a fi lm to be made. We stayed in touch with James and Mason and gave them updates on the fi lm, although we were lying when we said it wouldn't be long before we were done. The trip really had a profound effect on Mason and within the next few weeks he had written a couple of songs that really put our experiences to music. Then a few more months passed and we showed a preview of the fi lm to Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse. James lived near Isaac in Portland and kept telling me that he thought he would be a good fi t to work on some music for the fi lm as well. Isaac liked what he saw and then handed me a pamphlet on saving the salmon in Alaska and said he would do it if we could help with this cause. Seemed fair enough. When we fi nally had a rough edit of the movie, we headed to Portland to Isaac's studio to record the soundtrack for 180° South. Pulling up to an old two-story craftsman house, we could hear the peaceful sound of guitars feeding back through the windows. Chris and I stopped and stared up at the attic completely captivated by what we were listening to. It was not long before we were watching footage and going over ideas and it wasn't long after that before we heard Isaac's banjo, Tom's trumpet, Eric's squeezebox, Joe's drums and James's harmonies coming from every corner of that house. That did not stop for almost 2 weeks. This record is inspired by the stars in Southern Chile and was brought to life via a cabin in Minnesota, a garage in Hawaii and an attic up in Portland.

Review & Description

In a career that has spanned 24 years (and counting), PARADISE
LOST have sold over two million albums worldwide.
Their constant reinvention and brazen attitude towards musical
experimentation has always allowed them to maintain a constant
relevance despite the myriad fads and short-lived scenes
that have emerged over the last two decades. Indeed few
bands that prove so very influential in their infancy maintain the
quality of output that this band have. In 1991 PARADISE LOST
set the blueprint for a whole genre with their album Gothic and
their new masterpiece Tragic Idol easily and proudly continues
this successful tradition and clearly points out that PARADISE
LOST are one of the few outstanding acts working hard and
earning their legendary status by the power of the song.

Review & Description

Bee Gees' legend Robin Gibb and his son RJ Gibb composed this requiem to commemorate the tragic maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic which sank 100 years ago on April 15 1912. This is the first classical composition by Robin Gibb, and he also sings the lead vocal on the poignant and moving "Don't Cry Alone". This is the first new song recorded and sang by Robin Gibb for many years. The music is performed by the world famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the choir is the RVSP Voices. The celebrated young soprano Isabel Suckling sings "Christmas Day" and the renown Greek tenor Mario Frangoulis performs "Daybreak".
