This was my first video essay and while I am always a little uncomfortable being on camera (especially on a stinking hot day such as this one was filmed on), I still had fun and appreciated the </span><span style="color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a style="cursor: pointer;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;">opportunity, and very grateful to </span><span style="color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span class="xt0psk2" style="display: inline;">Jarret Gahan</span></span><span style="color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> and </span><span style="color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span class="xt0psk2" style="display: inline;">Chris Chappell</span></span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: white;"> for their invaluable assistance. Haha, the end credits on the featurette even includes some outtakes of me whinging and complaining about the heat, and wishing Treasured had just asked me to do a standard booklet essay instead! But it is all a good learning experience, and I am happy to be doing more work for the company moving forward.

PARALLEL LINES is being published on January 8, 2024 (in honor of Elvis' birthday). It will be available as a paperback, kindle, and audiobook. The kindle is already up for pre-order on Amazon, paperback and audiobook options should be added shortly. Will post links once all editions are available.

</span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Set your turbo engines to full speed ahead! When Frozen Tears released their </span><i style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Brazen Whisper</i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> album in late-2021, the Melbourne-based melodic hard rock outfit found themselves winning rave reviews and conquering the hard rock radio charts all across the globe. Fans of bands like KISS, Whitesnake, Dokken and other classic rock acts lapped up the album’s spirit, power, and positive energy, something which was sorely needed in a world still dealing with a pandemic and lingering lockdowns.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In the wake of its success, and to appease those who have been eagerly awaiting the follow-up to </span><i style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Brazen Whisper</i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">, Frozen Tears have reissued their 1997 album </span><i style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silence of the Night</i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> in a new special edition that is certain to not only please existing fans of the band, but lure in a whole new audience with its tasty serving of rock candy for the ears.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Long out of print and highly sought after by fans and collectors, Frozen Tears’ core duo of Thanis Akritidis (lead vocals) and Jon Powers (guitars, keyboard, bass) have gone the extra mile in ensuring their new edition of </span><i style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silence in the Night</i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> not only retains the spirit of the original release, but significantly improves upon its sonics.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Six of the tracks have been newly remixed and remastered with Jon Powers adding more fuel with extra guitars and keyboards to the remixed tracks, while the remaining four have been remastered, with Arkansas producer/engineer Tÿ Sïms doing a superb job on all fronts. Sïms’ work really brings a new freshness to the album’s sound, bringing it more up to date and adding an extra degree of oomph to its overall power. The new mixes and mastering also provide a lot of clarity to the vocals and instrumentation, allowing them to breathe more.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Akritidis’ commanding and impassioned vocals, and Powers’ impressive multi-talents, combine well with a tight, steady backbeat to make the songs soar with an infectious exuberance. Drumming duties on the album are split between Bernie Goldstein, who performs on the six remixed numbers, and Steve Sisma. And while Andy Parson’s original production job has been given a more modern sheen, Silence in the Night is still an unabashed celebration of classic hard rock and AOR sounds from the 1970s and 80s. “Let Down” powers along with a terrifically sleazy riff that melds classic Ratt and Motley Crue, highlighted by a crisp and expressive guitar solo, before it breaks down into some more melodic touches and keyboard highlights, adding an additional pleasing layer to the song, which must surely rank up there as one of the band’s best.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Elsewhere, songs like the title track, "Silence of the Night", show a softer side of the band, with its power ballad aesthetics and emotional vocals, while “One More Time” builds slowly from a chugging acoustic guitar riff and pleading vocal delivery. Other standout tracks include the grand synth-infused rock of “Warriors”, and “Do You Love Me”, which is not a cover of the KISS classic but rather a rework of a song dating back to Akritidis’ early-eighties band, Knight. It’s another impressive, big balladic number which opens with spoken word dialogue and ends with some moody keyboards reminiscent of vintage Deep Purple.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sharing the bulk of the songwriting credits, Akritidis and Powers exude a potent chemistry and prove to be a fine collaborative pair, melding both their individual and their shared musical influences to create a hybrid that pays clear tribute and respect to the music they love, while also melding to create its own sound, the distinctly Frozen Tears sound. As the band’s prime instrumentalist, Jon Powers deserves specific mention for the range of skills he displays across the album, his fluid playing exhibiting power, delicacy, and atmosphere, often combining all three in the one musical passage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Topping off this </span><i style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Deluxe Turbo Edition </i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">of </span><i style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silence of the Night</i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> is a brand-new track, the exhilarating “Feel the Fire”, which opens the album and is sure to become a new fan favourite and instant classic, with its compelling mix of </span><i style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Diver Down</i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">-era Van Halen and KISS circa </span><i style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Crazy Nights</i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Accompanied by a stunning new piece of cover art, provided by Jon Powers himself, Frozen Tears once again seem bound for worldwide recognition within the melodic rock community, and </span><i style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Silence of the Night: Deluxe Turbo Edition</i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> will hopefully cast their net even further and a limited yellow vinyl pressing which record collectors will surely lap up.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Full track listing:</span></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">1: “Feel the Fire”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">2: “Let Down”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">3: “Silence of the Night”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">4: “Will I Ever”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">5: “Do You Love Me”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">6: “One More Time”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">7: “It’s Over”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">8: “Love Can Be Real” (Piano Mix) </span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">9: “Warriors”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">10: “Wounded Man”</span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">11: “Fire Still Burns for You”

Peter Weir's WITNESS (1985) is one of the great crime thrillers and character studies of the 80s, as well as a superlative "fish out of water" story, and one of Harrison Ford's best performances. It was the film which emphatically proved there was more to Ford as an actor and screen character than just Han Solo and Indiana Jones. I wrote an essay on the film for the 60-page perfect bound book that comes as part of the set, which is due for release in October (local Aus peeps can pre-order through Cinemaniacs).

The set also includes a bonus Blu-ray packed with Hammer trailers, and each of the individual films includes new audio commentaries, relevant podcast episodes, and other cool extras.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmYmoUFpDAcDC1N7EAIFoUWYj-aHdTNkGdUJS1NaVHw4gR2X5dIRdHGsR_-jEXXdmGWbVx_mbb6YeH-LOqKhcKZMUV4HpBniW3G7kNGYfVkmK6CoV1pG4eQQ4EedXdVPKYH9wf_42e4euB1tOCh7Fl3br_r_NMeVPeMelZZ8wWLV_hD_LrQJ2idZtt3Q/s909/334926966_232915005828957_4799905266195053035_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="909" height="608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmYmoUFpDAcDC1N7EAIFoUWYj-aHdTNkGdUJS1NaVHw4gR2X5dIRdHGsR_-jEXXdmGWbVx_mbb6YeH-LOqKhcKZMUV4HpBniW3G7kNGYfVkmK6CoV1pG4eQQ4EedXdVPKYH9wf_42e4euB1tOCh7Fl3br_r_NMeVPeMelZZ8wWLV_hD_LrQJ2idZtt3Q/w640-h608/334926966_232915005828957_4799905266195053035_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzMwVa_4mjWxLt9a77ef_62nSzBNgkd_80VnRPjvlr54Q-ijPFF3rGhMBU7bFM2Mjf8d83-xj7GmXTqn0uoyqWuw8FKX6c9dNRVfJSe1mSN7pgf13OUXlcfwwfhoKaKPwqyywk8a8mFj5OjNT-a73znGgD-E6XKeoQhIJ5wXuPHOQjaPTh9cOe1KFmDA/s1536/334913926_1296948430886607_7387095872467811454_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1536" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzMwVa_4mjWxLt9a77ef_62nSzBNgkd_80VnRPjvlr54Q-ijPFF3rGhMBU7bFM2Mjf8d83-xj7GmXTqn0uoyqWuw8FKX6c9dNRVfJSe1mSN7pgf13OUXlcfwwfhoKaKPwqyywk8a8mFj5OjNT-a73znGgD-E6XKeoQhIJ5wXuPHOQjaPTh9cOe1KFmDA/w640-h360/334913926_1296948430886607_7387095872467811454_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic8gfUBaXe9rGA4-rW1QlfXxdbws8vQGTqAczinnaGZBdee6dPIyqrLExhSWpHDR5iOrtLlIuYm9_R_cReWNmD36b9BMZE0nVwiw29-JxUqyraq7_RDwKl5MlnBI0jMFyKcQIy6L4Tu7Mqfj2ngbh6v5Cv5WefQF1ojqW7I33VJ8vVP77U_iLXTmuM1A/s1361/334918190_725329669098998_8487972310064656252_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="827" data-original-width="1361" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic8gfUBaXe9rGA4-rW1QlfXxdbws8vQGTqAczinnaGZBdee6dPIyqrLExhSWpHDR5iOrtLlIuYm9_R_cReWNmD36b9BMZE0nVwiw29-JxUqyraq7_RDwKl5MlnBI0jMFyKcQIy6L4Tu7Mqfj2ngbh6v5Cv5WefQF1ojqW7I33VJ8vVP77U_iLXTmuM1A/w640-h388/334918190_725329669098998_8487972310064656252_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gMj2H_lB_ron1u52nVOXoe6pYNHEcmO_Vd2X0Zs-Jk1Zoqn2GcgGwqbrQpAp2pjQfvbExTw4iIoBLW8hpbUfJwvh29lOPTMuNkp6qvyeetXdIexO6DUDZiurk0KvpHkMGCYIJPV6-wH07RxwPr5nK0UMuEuSqkHSgmDNn9mNn7MZFsBfeo37Zq2GwA/s1077/334925501_542240461342573_6948994360476286952_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="1077" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gMj2H_lB_ron1u52nVOXoe6pYNHEcmO_Vd2X0Zs-Jk1Zoqn2GcgGwqbrQpAp2pjQfvbExTw4iIoBLW8hpbUfJwvh29lOPTMuNkp6qvyeetXdIexO6DUDZiurk0KvpHkMGCYIJPV6-wH07RxwPr5nK0UMuEuSqkHSgmDNn9mNn7MZFsBfeo37Zq2GwA/w640-h370/334925501_542240461342573_6948994360476286952_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p>John Harrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15514167125848933468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674126114749548205.post-2034543813771736162023-03-18T21:04:00.001-07:002023-03-18T21:04:34.977-07:00ART FOR ART'S SAKE<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Umbrella's new TERRIFIER box set is now making the rounds, featuring the two films as well as the original ALL HALLOW'S EVE.

The story of a handsome, rich British vampire and his adventures in 1982 Hollywood, SUNSET CAPRI creates a pleasing, singular voice with its mix of eclectic influences - think a mélange of Anne Rice, Ian Fleming, and Quentin Tarantino, as if written by an MTV VJ who also freelances for the L. A. WEEKLY. Apart from the undead Nigel, McKinney populates her novel with a roster of intriguing Hollywood fringe characters, like </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="cursor: pointer;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Veronica the punk rocker/struggling writer, and Peter the wanna-be big-shot showbiz agent, characters who live within the apartment walls of the mid-century modern block that give the book its title. </span></span></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">McKinney is certainly familiar with the history and the music of the book's era and location, and this knowledge really lends an authenticity to the novel's sense of time and place. It will bring a nostalgic pang to those who lived through it, while also making it palpable to those who didn't. It's also a very funny novel, I chuckled quite a few times, both at lines of dialogue as well as character thoughts and observations. There is a definite edge of biting sarcasm to McKinney's humor, yet at the same time you can tell she has a genuine love for the era and it's detail.

color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">This new 50-minute television special is the best thing I have seen from Marvel in a long time. It's directed by composer Michael Giacchino, who recently provided the superb score for THE BATMAN, and he proves himself to be a genuine talent behind the camera (he also provides the excellent soundtrack here). It's presented for the most part in black & white, to help invoke a classic 1930s Universal monster movie feel, which is terrific and it </span><span style="text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="cursor: pointer;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">certainly works, though it's something of an interesting choice given the source material. Since the comic it was based on first debuted in 1972, I would have thought a seventies aesthetic may have been more appropriate. But it certainly impresses as it is, and it comes closer to genuine horror for Marvel than what many thought Sam Rami would deliver with his Dr. Strange movie. The cinematography by Zoe White, and clever use of shadows, is often stunning, and I loved that the werewolf design looked inspired by a mixture of classic Lon Chaney with Henry Hull. It's gory, scary, and lots of fun, with some genuine warmth and humour. A perfect Halloween treat that, at less than an hour, doesn't wear out its welcome.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0x4txqFiQurTuH-Jtdg2KT2MfBQfSWEKvxF4xbrq-XhfWqEBsGX4p-W1gNNoEUq5ZNBVzLni5QS7jVn8I3xNHfGS4__LF2UCfYPBTrsODqwPQjKpLnlGvfn6curNJTXx-7XLpUYLwPi53S_IkEGaXrNAYIc5ZNbbXlufbI9pyqvyiQ-tDI5tkyqVkA/s2800/clean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2800" data-original-width="1821" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0x4txqFiQurTuH-Jtdg2KT2MfBQfSWEKvxF4xbrq-XhfWqEBsGX4p-W1gNNoEUq5ZNBVzLni5QS7jVn8I3xNHfGS4__LF2UCfYPBTrsODqwPQjKpLnlGvfn6curNJTXx-7XLpUYLwPi53S_IkEGaXrNAYIc5ZNbbXlufbI9pyqvyiQ-tDI5tkyqVkA/w416-h640/clean.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><br /><span style="text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p>John Harrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15514167125848933468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674126114749548205.post-3742757495220869312022-09-12T04:11:00.000-07:002022-09-12T04:11:28.908-07:00CINEMA OF THE 80s DEBUTS!<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXNPDWgyAE4qlRg6rpposrzh99W5AZ4oIv69iFShBSOeJQVOTTuuVwYLhiOYE8VIubEG4vhgbM7hgSpi8JnvkSjJ6DLypkCpXCEO15fyzJAe2Dg7icKqRI2yjjYT7WI52I95PXn1TWa5-9QLuFHDEZexxwG60tBHKNcdlnsf89ux9bxhR9nHOq3eRJfg/s1255/61mE+F2t8dL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1255" data-original-width="932" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXNPDWgyAE4qlRg6rpposrzh99W5AZ4oIv69iFShBSOeJQVOTTuuVwYLhiOYE8VIubEG4vhgbM7hgSpi8JnvkSjJ6DLypkCpXCEO15fyzJAe2Dg7icKqRI2yjjYT7WI52I95PXn1TWa5-9QLuFHDEZexxwG60tBHKNcdlnsf89ux9bxhR9nHOq3eRJfg/w476-h640/61mE+F2t8dL.jpg" width="476" /></a></span></div><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br />With six issues of their excellent CINEMA OF THE '70s magazine under their belts, publishing dynamic duo <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="rse6dlih" style="display: inline;">Dawn</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="rse6dlih" style="display: inline;">Jonathon Dabell</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> have branched out into the next logical direction with the brand spanking new CINEMA OF THE '80s.
