*August 2008*

Well here we are in the midst of the Summer Holidays and for those of you
with youngsters who are forever complaining of being bored with nothing to
do and basically being driven to distraction we have our usual mix of news
and suggestions for your listening and viewing pleasure and something that
will perhaps give you some respite from the little monsters!!!

Lots of DVDs now available this month including Bill Bruford, All About Eve
and Hawkwind.

Time then to get off and prepare myself for the forthcoming interviews with
Jefferson Starship and Quicksilver Messenger Service at the end of the month
which will become forthcoming podcasts.  Looks like it is going to be a
fabulous August all told. Catch you in the autumn….Which believe it or not
is next month.

*Bruford And The Beat DVD Now Available*

*The material contained on this DVD was filmed in New York City and New
Haven, Connecticut, USA in February and March 1982.  As with so many things
to do with Bruford, he was amongst the first to offer material to the
then fledgling genre of drum instructional videos.  'Bruford and the Beat'
features solos, interviews, demonstrations and rare performance footage of
Bill with King Crimson, with guest appearances by Robert Fripp and Steve
Howe.  Both entertaining and educational, this visually rich programme will
appeal to anyone interested in music but more importantly those who have
followed the various twists and turns of Bill Bruford's lengthy career.*

The DVD can be purchased from a dedicated website

*Hawkwind Live DVDs*

The Official Bootleg DVD series from Hawkwind gets underway with the release
of the first three releases now available from a dedicated website

http://www.hawkwinddirect.com/

The DVDs are available to buy separately or you can buy them all at a
discounted price. You can also view low resolution clips of the contents of
the DVDs on the website.

*All About Eve Live In Germany DVD*

*All About Eve* release a DVD stemming from their performance on
German television in September 1992.  The band had just released the
album *Touched By Jesus* and guitarist *Marty Wilson-Piper* had just
joined the band.  This is the first time this material has been
released officially and *Julianne Regan* has written the sleeve notes
for the DVD.

The set list included six of the eleven tracks included on the
*Touched By Jesus* album which certainly showed that the band were
solidly behind the new album.  The songs included *Strange Way**,
Share It With Me, Touched By Jesus, Hide Child, Farewell Mr. Sorrow
*and *Rhythm Of Life*.  The band still performed a couple of stalwarts
from the previous albums such as *In The Clouds, Wild Hearted Woman,
Road To Your Soul* and *Every Angel* but this was a new *All About
Eve* and one that the fans took to immediately as can be seen by the
reception on this DVD.

* *

*Eric Burdon The Animals and Beyond DVD Documentary*

*Eric Burdon* will always be associated with the British R n B band *The
Animals.* Coming out of Newcastle in the early sixties the band burst onto
the music scene with an incredible version of *House Of The Rising Sun*.  The
song reached number one all over the world and the band embarked on three
years of intensive touring and recording which would include the hit songs *We
Gotta Get Out Of This Place*, *It's My Life* and *Don't Let Me Be
Misunderstood*.  Of all the bands that broke through in the sixties it was
the *Animals *who were considered to be the true purveyors of authentic R n
B and the main reason for that was *Eric Burdon's* voice.

This film is an excellent primer covering the career of *Eric Burdon* and
contains a number of interviews with some of the musicians who worked with
him over the years including former members of the *Animals* (*John Steel*and
*Hilton Valentine*) and the *New Animals* (*Zoot Money*).  There are also
interviews with *Eric Burdon* himself and *Brian Auger* who were working
together in a band at the time.  The film also includes clips from Eric
Burdon's career which takes in rare clips from the *Animals, The New Animals
* and *Eric Burdon and War*.

*Voiceprint Web Radio*

*And stay Tuned!!*

This month's featured programme features music from the *Reel
Recordings*catalogue. Jon Kirkman is in conversation with
*Reel Recordings* MD *Michael King* and discusses the catalogue and some of
the eclectic releases already available including a rare live recording from
*Kevin Ayers*.

*Download Recommendation: Martin Stephenson & The Daintees: Gladsome Humour
& Blue*

Several albums where released by the *Daintees* including *'The Boat to
Bolivia'* and 'Salutation *Road**'*. In 1988 *Gladsome, Humour &
Blue*contained the superb
*'Wholly Humble Heart'*. Reviews were generally excellent, and Stephenson
enhanced an already impressive reputation.  Essential to *Martin Stephenson
and Daintee's* fans new and old!**

*Back Catalogue Recommendation: Patrick Moraz: The Story Of I*

*The Story Of I* was *Patrick Moraz's* debut solo album and recorded in late
1975 during a period when all the members of *Yes* embarked on solo
projects. The album was a concept piece based around a story Patrick had
written. Musically the album features Latin and rock rhythms in fact the
entire album has a very percussive feel to it. One of the featured musicians
on the album alongside Patrick is well known session drummer *Andy Newmark*.
Other featured musicians on the album are jazz drummer *Alphonse Mouzon* and
bassist *Jeff Berlin*.

*New Release Recommendation: Steve Miller Trio: Meets Elton Dean*

Pianist *Steve Miller* (1943-1998) formed his trio in the mid-eighties after
a lengthy hiatus for technique re evaluation. With young bassist *Tony Moore
* and AMM drummer *Eddie Prevost*, Steve was now able to improvise freely
sans traces of his deep roots in blues and boogie. With time spent in *
Delivery* and *Carava*n well behind him, Steve's new path lead to a weekly
series of concerts billed as "Meetings with Remarkable Saxophonists". At
London's Bull & Gate, the diverse talents of *Lol Coxhill, Harrison Smith,
Elton Dean* (1945-2006) and *Bobby Wellins* rose to meet the spontaneous
challenge of improvised music making, with all performances professionally
recorded on high speed tape.

The special success, in our opinion, was the splendid meeting of altoist *Elton
Dean* and the *Steve Miller Trio*. Two extended sets of continuous
collective improvisation, strongly rooted in the powerful modern jazz
aesthetic, comprise this nearly hour long CD. With rare concert photos and
notes from Steve complimenting this important document, the *Steve Miller
Trio* "*Meets Elton Dean*" is indeed a musical meeting to be treasured.

Stellar musical meeting of old friends, previously unreleased, makes this
compact disc document a worthy companion to last year's successful reissue
of the *Steve Miller/Lol* *Coxhill *Virgin recordings.

*Forthcoming Release Recommendation: Fish: Return To Childhood DVD*

*Fish *first came to the notice of music fans as the front man for neo
progressive rock band *Marillion.* The band had secured a recording deal
with EMI records in late 1982 and released their debut album *Script For A
Jesters Tear* in 1983. Further albums including *Fugazi* and the massively
popular *Misplaced Childhood* album which spawned a number of top twenty
singles including *Kayleigh* ensured that *Marillion* became on of the
biggest British rock bands at the time. The bands final album featuring Fish
was *Clutching At Straws*. Again the band toured in support of that album
and following touring duties again began work on the proposed follow up.
 During the sessions for the follow up *Fish *left the band and commenced on
a solo career that continues to this day.

This DVD is the companion release to the *Return To Childhood* CD which was
recorded in Holland during the twentieth anniversary tour in November 2005
to celebrate the release of the *Marillion* album *Misplaced Childhood*. The
DVD includes the full performance of the *Misplaced Childhood* album and
also other solo material from *Fish *such as *Credo *and *Big Wedge*alongside
*Marillion* classics *Market Square Heroes* and *Incommunicado.*

*So as you can see there is plenty to look forward to from Voiceprint. Make
sure you are signed up for regular newsletters and tell your friends.
Voiceprint will continue to be one of the most exciting independent labels
on the scene in 2008. Why not join us.***
