Rush - Clockwork Angels (2012): They can’t stop thinking big!

Cover

I’ve seen few songs or entire albums inspired in books, stories, or poems. In this group is possible to mention the case of Camel, with their amazing The Snow Goose. And even more obscure bands, such as The Old Man & the Sea
But the opposite situation (an album turning into a book), I guess I’ve never seen before.

Graveyard - Lights Out (2012): The consolidation.

CD cover.

It’s common to hear that every great fighter can only be considered a true champion if he defends his belt at least once. Well, with Lights Out, Graveyard made his defense and consolidated themselves as one of the major reference in their weight.

UFO - Seven Deadly (2012): The oldies still rock!

CD cover.

I always had UFO as one of my favorite bands… And I say more: Some (yes, in plural!) of their albums easily appear among the top ten or twenty discs in the whole history of Hard Rock. However, for some reason that I’m unable to explain, I ignored what they recorded after the seventies. I’ve never listened to what they did after Mechanix (1982).

Bulbous Creation - You Won’t Remember Dying (1994): Better late than never…


Talk about Bulbous Creation is the same as talk about a great finding. A relic found in the middle of the limbo and rescued by a small label called Rockadelic. It’s estimated that You Won’t Remember Dying had been recorded between the late sixties and early seventies. However, the produced material remained shelved. It just got released in 1994.
