’Script of the Bridge'- An Album Review.

There really were some great bands back in the eighties and many of these still have a major influence on the musicians of today. However, it is all too easy to remember certain acts from this period whilst forgetting about other ones altogether; especially if they no longer perform…

The Chameleons released their debut album, ‘Script of the Bridge’ in 1983 and it was an overnight success. Their song writing skills were strong and their sound was perfectly in keeping with the times.

The Exorcist-Iconic Movie Poster

One of the things that I love about classic movie posters is that they really look great as all art. When you see these posters it is more than likely that you will feel some degree of emotion related to the poster and the movie itself. One of the most famous movies of all time, The Exorcist, has what can only be described as an iconic movie poster. This poster is possibly the most iconic of all time.

The poster for The Exorcist from back in 1973, can easily be said to have had a great impact on whether or not people went to see the movie. In fact many people will even remember the movie theatre and its furniture London that they sat in while watching the movie.

The poster is as gruesome as the movies itself and the movie has been viewed by many as possibly the scariest horror movie of all time. The poster does bring to life the general haunting and disturbing feel of the movie. It is predominantly purple and black but it also shows the silhouette of Father Merrin’s as he stands against the home of the Regan’s as a streetlamp shining a light on him. The contrasting tone heightens the effect this poster has on the senses. It is as dramatic as the movie is when you watch it. It lulls viewers into feeling a sense of calm just before things begin to unravel. Looking on this poster has you wondering hat evil thing is about to happen next.

This movie from 1973 has spawned a number of sequels and prequels each with its on poster, but none can nor will be as iconic and as subtle as the original in the way it portrays hat to expect from the movie. The Exorcist movie poster is certainly one of the best of them all.

iTunes art – what’s the point?

I actually quite like iTunes, which is quite an admission for someone who takes such pride in their vinyl collection. Someone bought me an iPod for my birthday a long time ago, and it stayed in its packaging at the back of a draw until I discovered the technology existed to magically (or probably not) transform my beloved vinyl into iTunes tracks. Now, I can carry around my entire vinyl collection in my pocket or play them in my car More

The Death of the Classic Album Cover?

Everyone has a favourite album cover. Quite often, it’s the image on the cover of their favourite album – a snapshot that captures the artist at the moment they unveiled their masterpiece. Other covers stand up on artistic merit – Warhol’s pop art banana design is arguably better remembered than the album it fronted, by Velvet Underground & Nico. Other bands or artists make a statement with striking album covers – Bowie and Radiohead come to mind, although the Beatles More

The Posters of Hollywood

In my college, I was passing by a classroom when something caught my eye. It was a small room with about 15 desktop computers that were used by the media department. So I walked in, and I was astounded. Spread upon all the walls were huge posters from so many great films that I had heard of: Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Star Wars, all were dramatic, striking and vibrant.

When I was staring at them it made me consider all More

Forgotten Art

We all love music, in one form or another. It ambiguously brings people together and makes us individual. Whether we buy a CD from our local store or download tracks of the internet music influences our lives and provides a source of comfort or entertainment.

If you’re anything like me, you understand the frustration of having a track on iTunes with no album artwork. No picture to accompany the song. No visual representation of the track. Nothing. When I flick More
