Peter Brown: Stargazer Ringing In The Ears.

This was one of those Ebay 'watched' items that I came across while perusing some fellow 12inches online.


It was the front cover that initially took my interest before I even tracked down the artist via some random ebay music postings and such. Recently while on a forum, a later release of his came up and I only then recalled the love affair I had had with that front cover. 'Stargazer' (1979  TK Records) was his second album (pictured) however one his most popular achievements was his credit for writing Madonna's 'Material Girl'. While his disco inflected tunes included 'Do Ya Wanna Get Funky With Me' and 'Dance With Me', I've got the piano ballad titular track here and also his 1984 hit, a eurobeat synth pop extravaganza remixed by Chris Lord-Alge. Unfortunately, It would appear a career-ending case of tinnitus befell Mr Brown in the earlier 90's as these days he enjoys retirement among the stars (pardon the pun).

Canyons: Building Under the Sun

The proto-disco and collectively golden syrup of Canyons production cues are much the fuzz and glow of heat and seabird flight. The vibes and shimmering musicians are now treading water beyond the DJ booth and their original productions will culminate into an album next year.
However, we have a taste of the first lead single that will be released in full early November. 'My Rescue' is not what I was expecting, but am pleasantly surprised and a huge fan of the tune. With similar production virtues to that of musical mates Tame Imapla and their label trio Pond, this Perthquake vibe is definitely one to savour under the Australian sun. The song's piano driven chorus and vocal highlights are the stable mates that will transcend this jam into the summery heights from which forth it will descend upon any summer sun filled day, evening or night, Sunday or Monday, its alarming how effective the lyrics might just end up while your in the sun.

Cutters Records: Das Moth Release.





Finally coming through the pipeline -(Here's an Interview I had with him back in April)- Timothy Sullivan's release has come at a most glorious timing. Featuring Moon (minus a vocal track that was left out from a previous demo) and Wrong, its a low-slung glistening trailblazer of permutations that would develop between the inter-dimensions of sound & vision. It's mapping where we all ought to go, nodding to nostalgia and embracing the present, Das Moth is truly a reflection of changing times amongst constant memories. Well done Tim. With his sister on backing vocals, Joel Belgium on co-production duties and a swag of remixery services to follow up on a digital release expect continued variations of a standout release, years in the making, months in the waiting.

Bowie Knife circa. 1983



Bit of Bowie here, being presented very neatly in the form of an edit and the original. Quite simply it cuts out the chorus of Loving the Alien - a single from Bowie's 'Tonight' (RCA 1983) album that cashed in on his 'Let's Dance' fame of '82. While Loving the Alien was one of only two songs on the album actually written by the man, it was  confessed to be over-produced in hindsight, whereby Bowie admitted it was more powerful with the lyrics backed by a more simpler accompaniment. However after listening to the edit before the original, I like the elements that are built on in the former, and the chorus thats so key in the latter.


Heres the Vid (naturally stylized/directed/produced by Bowie), the edit and the original version from the single release.
