He Is Your Brother | stand-alone single in 1973

Friday, January 11th, 2008

“He Is Your Brother” is a song recorded in 1972 by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was only issued as a single in Scandinavia, and was taken from the group’s debut album Ring Ring, which was released in 1973 in Scandinavia and a few European countries, excluding the United Kingdom.


History

The song was written by the two male band members, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and was produced by Michael Tretow. All four members share lead-vocals on this recording.

The song was one of the early favourites among the group’s members, and was the only song from the era before “Waterloo” which was performed during the group’s tour of Europe and Australia in 1977. It was also performed by various artists (along with ABBA), during the Music for UNICEF Concert in January 1979.


Reception

Due to its limited release, and the fact that ABBA had not achieved a great following outside of their native Sweden at the time, the song only charted in Scandinavian countries.

Sweatbox | See also Walt

Saturday, December 29th, 2007
A sweatbox is another reference for a form of torture known as the box. The Sweatbox is also the title of a documentary about the making of the Disney film The Emperor’s New Groove.

“Sweatbox” is a Disney animators’ term for the screening room where directors and producers approve or reject animated scenes in pencil test form, as well as for this process itself, also sometimes called sweatboxing.

The term originates from the beginning of Walt Disney Animation, where test scenes were shown to Walt Disney on a Moviola in a small, non-ventilated room. The animators, awaiting a verdict, perspired both because of the climate and fearing a possible negative reaction. When the animation studio relocated to Burbank and much more comfortable screening rooms were installed, the name still stuck.

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

A business record is a document that records a business dealing. Business records include meeting minutes, memorandums, employment contracts, and accounting source documents.

It must be retrievable at a later date so that the business dealings can be accurately reviewed as required. Since business is dependent upon confidence and trust, not only must the record be accurate and easily retrieved, the processes surrounding its creation and retrieval must be perceived by customers and the business community to consistently deliver a full and accurate record with no gaps or additions.

The Blue Marble (album) | Present on their

Monday, December 10th, 2007

The Blue Marble was the second (and final) Sagittarius album, released in 1969 by the newly-formed Together Records. The title song is by Lee Mallory and Gary Usher. This album is generally not nearly as highly-regarded as the previous one. Part of this is because of the usage of a Moog synthesizer throughout the record, which is arguably excessive. Another factor is that Gary Usher had a much larger role as a musician and vocalist on the album. His only vocal on the Present Tense album was on the last track, and it was heavily processed. On this album, he takes the vast majority of the lead vocals, and there are very few harmony vocals used on the album, in direct contrast to the bevy used throughout Present Tense. The record did, however, spawn a minor hit with the cover of In My Room, which featured Curt Boettcher on vocals and reached #86 on the charts.

The album was reissued on CD by Poptones, and features 5 bonus tracks. 4 of the tracks were from singles (two of which weren’t included on the original release), and the fifth track is an alternate version of Will You Ever See Me. The track listing below is for the original LP.


Track listing

  1. “In My Room”
  2. “From You Unto Us”
  3. “Will You Ever See Me”
  4. “Gladys”
  5. “I Sing My Song”
  6. “The Blue Marble”
  7. “Lend Me A Smile”
  8. “I Still Can See Your Face”
  9. “I See In You”
  10. “Cloud Talk”

Louis Philippe (musician) | Ho! Ho! Who’d

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Louis Philippe (real name: Philippe Auclair) is a London-based French singer, songwriter, arranger and producer who has been active from the mid-80’s onwards. His name is associated with the short-lived, but very influential él record label; since this label’s demise (1989), he has grown into one of the ‘elder statesmen’ of indiepop.

Contents


Solo Career

Born in 1959, he first recorded for Belgian label Les Disques du Crepuscule, under the names ‘The Border Boys’ (the ‘Tribute’ 12″ EP, produced by Andy Paley, who’d worked with The Ramones and the Modern Lovers previously), and ‘The Arcadians’ (one single and one album, ‘It’s a Mad, Mad World’, 1986, later re-released on a variety of labels as ‘Let’s Pretend’). On the advice of A&R man Mike Alway, Louis Philippe moved to London in late 1986, and soon became one of the major figures of cult indie label él Records (1986-1989), a subsidiary of Cherry Red Records for which he recorded five singles and three albums (’Appointment With Venus’, 1987; ‘Ivory Tower’, 1988; ‘Yuri Gagarin’, 1989). He also appeared in one guise or another - as songwriter, arranger, backing vocalist or instrumentalist - on more than half of all the label’s releases. él, now considered to be one of the most influential labels of its time, was, however, not a commercial success in the UK; but it scored a string of independent hits in Japan, where Louis Philippe (whose ‘You Mary You’ was él’s best-selling single) became an iconic figure for the so-called Shibuya-kei, or ‘Shibuya Sound’.

Following the demise of él in 1989, he turned to Japan to pursue his career, with the support of celebrity fans such as Cornelius. A number of albums followed, all of them released on the Trattoria label: ‘Rainfall’, 1991; ‘Jean Renoir’, 1992, both of them recorded with multi-instrumentalist Dean Brodrick; ‘Delta Kiss’, 1993; ‘Sunshine’, produced by Bertrand Burgalat, 1994; ‘Jackie Girl’, 1996, the first of his records to feature XTC guitarist Dave Gregory; ‘Azure’, recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and ‘Nusch’, a collection of Francis Poulenc mélodies, 1999. All these albums were conceived and realised with the help of long-time collaborator, pianist and double-bassist Danny Manners. Trattoria’s help enabled him to find licenses for these records, first in France, Britain and Spain, then in the USA, where he’d assembled a limited but devoted fanbase. These critically well-received records consolidated his ‘cult’ status in the indiepop world; a couple of them charted: ‘L’Hiver te va bien’ reached the Top 30 in France in 1994, while ‘She Means Everything To Me’ reached the no.1 spot on the Campus Radios Charts in the USA in 1998, following an appearance at New York’s CMJ Music Marathon. However, crossover success still proved, and proves elusive, despite the accessibility of his music and the regard he’s held in among pop connoisseurs.


Collaborations

Louis Philippe has enjoyed a parallel career as an arranger, producer and instrumentalist since the late 80’s. The artists he’s worked with, or for, include Valerie Lemercier, April March, P.J. Proby, Martin Newell, Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas, Matilde Santing, Towa Tei, Nina Morato, Cinnamon, Laïla Amezian, La Buena Vida, The Clientele and many others. A collaboration of note was the album ‘9th & 13th’ (Tricatel, 2001), in which he teamed up with Danny Manners and novelist Jonathan Coe, to produce musical settings for the latter’s writings. Jonathan Coe, who’d contributed the sleevenotes to ‘Azure’, and had used a verse of his song ‘Yuri Gagarin’ as an epigraph for his best-seller ‘What a carve up!’, has also written a number of lyrics for him since ‘My Favourite Part of You’ (2002).


Recent Projects

Louis Philippe has lately been working with ex-Young Marble Giants leader Stuart Moxham, with whom he regularly plays live, and now runs his own record label, Wonder Records, in London. His latest releases include ‘My Favourite Part of You’ (2002) and ‘The Wonder of it All’ (2004). A live double-album was released in February 2007, followed by a new studio album, entitled ‘An Unknown Spring’, in May of the same year.<p>
