Captain Jack was a musical duo, specializing in Eurodance music, originating from Germany. Its members (since 2000) were Francisco Alejandro Gutierrez (stage name: Franky Gee), and Sunny. The original female vocalist on the group’s debut in 1995 was Liza Da Costa, replaced in 1999 by Maria Lucia ‘Maloy’ Lozanes, who was replaced by Ilka-Anna-Antonia Traue (stage name: Illi Love) in 2001.
The future of Captain Jack suddenly came into doubt when Franky suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while walking with his son in Spain on October 17, 2005. Doctors predicted that the damage was fatal, and Franky Gee died on Saturday October 22, 2005, after spending five days in a coma.
Future proceeds on the sale of Captain Jack’s Greatest Hits album, which was being planned prior to Franky Gee’s death, will be given to his son and fellow rapper Franky Gutie... [more]

The Captain Jack name was recently revived, with a new lineup. The current incarnation is very unlike the original Captain Jack. The newest single, Turkish Bazaar, is of the Dance-pop and Hip-Hop genres, dropping the original lineup’s Eurodance roots. [less]

In the decade since the departure of drummer Bill Berry, R.E.M. could seem at times schizophrenic. Their albums of the era, which veered from the experimentalism of Up and reaffirmation of Reveal to 2004s more diffuse, reflective Around the Sun, often stood in stark contrast to the vibrancy of their live act. But here the alt-rock godfathers have resolved that dichotomy with their most focused and satisfying album in over a decade; a collection that doesnt so much revisit the bracing ethos of the bands 80s coming-of-age, as boil it down to its essence and supercharge it with the energy of their contemporary stage shows. That sensibility is evident from the opening track, Living Wells the Best Revenge, where Peter Bucks aggressive, distortion-drenched riffs and Michael Stipes gruff snarl set the tone for Mansized Wreath, Horse to Water, and Sup...

That sensibility is evident from the opening track, Living Wells the Best Revenge, where Peter Bucks aggressive, distortion-drenched riffs and Michael Stipes gruff snarl set the tone for Mansized Wreath, Horse to Water, and Supernatural Serious; rockers that bristle with the abandonment and aggressive energy of a band half their tenure. Yet its no mere blast-from-the-past. The inclusion of the bands recent touring musicians (Scott McCaughey on second guitar and drummer Bill Rieflin) into the session mix, as well as working out much of the material live onstage in Dublin, has yielded something more sonically akin to R.E.M. 2.2. Stipes penchant for the lyrically opaque has been largely supplanted by an edgy, articulate passion that variously explores Houstons displaced Katrina refugees, the bluegrass-tinged Until the Day is Done, and the more typical, quiet self-examination of Hollow Man, before exploding in the albums unlikely, upbeat elegy Im Gonna DJ, where singer and band find renewed hope in not only music, but themselves.

In Rainbows is the seventh album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead. It was first released on 10 October 2007 as a digital download, followed by a standard CD release in most countries during the last week of 2007. The album was released in North America on 1 January 2008. In Rainbows was Radioheads first release after the end of their contract with EMI and the end of the longest gap between studio albums in their career.
In Rainbows was recorded in London, Somerset, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire with producers Mark Stent and Nigel Godrich. Radiohead worked on In Rainbows for more than two years, beginning in early 2005. In between recording, the band toured Europe and North America for three months in mid-2006. The songwriting on In Rainbows was more personal than that on Radioheads other albums, with singer Thom Yorke describing ... [more]

The songwriting on In Rainbows was more personal than that on Radioheads other albums, with singer Thom Yorke describing most tracks as his versions of seduction songs. Radiohead incorporated a wide variety of musical styles and instruments on the album, using not only electronic music and string arrangements, but also pianos, celestes, and the ondes Martenot.

Having commemorated their tenth anniversary with a year-plus run commencing with In Your Honor (a double album the New York Times called an unexpected magnum opus), sold out rock arena shows and a toned down intimate theater trek, and a headlining gig at Londons Hyde Park for a crowd of 85,000, the question looms larger than any in the Foo Fighters career to date: What do they do for an encore?!? The answer comes in the form of The Pretender, the first single from the bands sixth studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, out on Roswell/RCA. Produced by Gil Norton, who last worked with the band on 1997s double-platinum The Colour and The Shape (recently reissued in deluxe 10th anniversary form), Dave Grohl, bassist Nate Mendel, drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Chris Shiflett have crafted a 12-track milestone that showcases and reconci...

Third album, following 2006s Under The Iron Sea, from the hugely successful Brit pop-rock stars whose piano-led, emotive and melancholy songs have placed them in the same bracket as fellow travellers Coldplay and Snow Patrol. On Perfect Symmetry they take some chances with their sound, experimenting with synthesizers and more aggressive beats such as those to be heard on the 80s-influenced, free download singleSpiralling.

Off With Their Heads could/should be described as being the first proper Kaiser Chiefs album with a solid base on which is constructed a series of tracks which come together as an altogether less frenetic and more cohesive piece of work than previous outings and is almost certainly the better for it. The album was produced by Mark Ronson and Eliot James at RAK and Eastcote Studios in London in the Spring of 2008 and mixed by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, LCD Soundsystem, Run DMC) at Soundtrack Studios, Includes the single Never Miss A Beat.

UK pressing of the British quartets 2008 album includes a link to download to two bonus audio tracks. After releasing two of the most popular indie albums of the 00s, Razorlight return for their third in the shape of Slipway Fires. Typically dramatic and epic in its expressions, this release is slightly more bombastic than before, and incorporates a rawer, edgier rock dynamic. Recorded after a period of isolation and creative rest, lead singer Johnny Borrell took his band to the Inner Hebrides to fuel the renewed creative process, resulting in this anthemic collection. Features the single Wire To Wire.
