<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1999, als Fatwreck den irrsinnigen "Short music for short peole"-Sampler veröffentlichte (auf dem auch Wizo einen <a href="http://wizorockzde.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/the-count/">Beitrag</a> ablieferten), brachte das inzwischen leider verstorbene <a href="http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crass_Menagerie/">Crass Menagerie Fanzine</a> diverse Interviews mit den beteiligten Bands. Bei diesen "<a href="http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crass_Menagerie/message/38">Short Interviews for short people"</a> war auch Axel beteiligt - das englische Interview könnt ihr hier noch einmal nachlesen.<br />
Vielen Dank übrigens an Felix, der das Teil vor Jahren mal<a href="http://www.forumromanum.de/member/forum/forum.php?action=ubb_show&#38;entryid=1092889790&#38;mainid=1092889790&#38;threadid=2&#38;USER=user_182436"> ausgegraben</a> hat.</p>
<p><strong>Axel from Wizo</strong></p>
<p>CM: <em>Do short attention spans equal short tunes?</em></p>
<p>Excuse me, what was the first part of the question again, please? Seems like the whole "short-attn.-thing" is more a typical American topic, I've often heard it as a (rather bad) excuse. In Germany nobody really talks about stuff like that. It's probably just a common small talk-theme. And honestly, I don't believe that "the Americans" have a shorter attn.span than "the Germans"</p>
<p>CM: <em>Short songs have a long tradition in punk. Do you see them as a novelty or are they something more than that?</em></p>
<p>I personally think, a song has to be as long as it has to be. There's enough very short songs (even on the "short music"-comp) that are already too long. I think "Tubular Bells" from Mike Oldfield is maybe a little too short, but it's not actually punk, so I can deal with that.</p>
<p>CM: <em>What is your favorite cut on "Short Music For Short People" other than your own.</em></p>
<p>I really like the very first song a lot. How comes you think that bands always like their own songs best? I also like Chixdiggitdickiessickofitall! Did I mention that there's a lot of crap too?</p>
<p>CM: <em>What is the best thing about short people and the worst thing about tall people?</em></p>
<p>You wanna ask me who I like better from Lagwagon, Joey or Chris? You son of a bitch, I love both of them like a mother loves her sons!!</p>
<p>CM: <em>And lastly, what is the best thing about short 5 question interviews?</em></p>
<p>I think the most interesting part were those informations you gave me about your person and your psychical condition in between the lines of those questions, haha! Seems like there could be SOMETHING too short on your body? Or maybe even worse, there's something too long, oh yes I can see it clear now, your THING is too big for this world, that's why you're scared of short people... It all comes together now... Why don't you call me before you do something inconsiderate! We'll figure something!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Nine Inch Nails – The Fragile 8.5/10</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://mikespotpourri.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/nin-the_fragile800.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41" title="nin-the_fragile800" src="http://mikespotpourri.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/nin-the_fragile800.jpg" alt="" width="221" height="193" /></a></p>
<p>Disc 1(Left):<br />
1.    Somewhat Damaged<br />
2.    The Day The World Went Away<br />
3.    The Frail<br />
4.    The Wretched<br />
5.    We’re In This Together<br />
6.    The Fragile<br />
7.    Just Like You Imagined<br />
8.    Even Deeper<br />
9.    Pilgrimage<br />
10.    No, You Don’t<br />
11.    La Mer<br />
12.    The Great Below</p>
<p>Disc 2 (Right):<br />
1.    The Way Out Is Through<br />
2.    Into the Void<br />
3.    Where Is Everybody?<br />
4.    The Mark Has Been Made<br />
5.    Please<br />
6.    Starf*ckers, Inc<br />
7.    Complication<br />
8.    I’m Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally<br />
9.    The Big Come Down<br />
10.    Underneath It All<br />
11.    Ripe (With Decay)</p>
<p>The CD version clocks in at over an hour and 40 minutes, and the LP is even longer. To truly digest and appreciate this album, you’ll need to clear your schedule for a bit, grab your best pair of headphones, and dive in.</p>
<p>The Downward Spiral brought worldwide attention to Nine Inch Nails in 1994, and for five years fans waited for the next sonic journey into Trent Reznor’s twisted world. The result was a two-disc magnum opus, something he is unlikely to top in the near future. The music on here is charged and emotional, and maybe more mature than its predecessor.</p>
<p>That’s not to say that EVERY song is a masterpiece. There are times when the album slows to a drag, as the angst, processed guitars, and layered synthesizers become old.  Even then, there is reward in picking out the fine details and nuances only found in Nine Inch Nails releases.</p>
<p>In my personal opinion, the second disc (Right) is more enjoyable and memorable than the first. Songs like The Way Out Is Through, into The Void, Please, and the Big Come Down are shining examples of Reznor’s song craft, providing strong synth lines and deep bass that drive the tracks and keep them in your head long afterwards.</p>
<p>Still, the length does become problematic, and for the average listener, it may be too cumbersome to listen to compared to releases like The Downward Spiral and With Teeth. The songs themselves are great, but might just be too much of a good thing.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://microcritic.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/portada20la20radio20de20darwin.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-371" title="portada20la20radio20de20darwin" src="http://microcritic.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/portada20la20radio20de20darwin.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="291" /></a></p>
<p>Greg Bear, famoso entre otras obras, por haber resucitado la trilogía de Asimov de Fundación, plantea aquí un thriller científico, alejado de la bestsellermanía de otros como Michael Crichton o Robin Cook. La premisa argumental, aúna el interés humano y científico, al presentar la posibilidad de que el motor evolutivo sea un retrovirus latente y no mutaciones aleatorias que se replican para conseguir su supervivencia, con lo que el miedo inherente de la humanidad a la enfermedad y a lo desconocido harán su aparición cuando empiezan a detectarse casos de esta evolución dirigida. Bear demuestra que conoce los mecanismos de la ciencia ficción, pero adolece, en la novela, de una excesiva ralentización de la acción narrativa, lo que lastra su lectura. Cuando mejor está es en el planteamiento de la premisa argumental y de las respuestas que la sociedad tendría ante estos casos, pero cuando llega al tan dificil, para muchos, cierre de tramas; se pierde en una marabunta de personajes, argumentos y desarrollos excesivos y redundantes que no avanzan en la narración sino que la ralentizan y acaban alargando hasta las seiscientas páginas una novela que se hubiera resuelto genialmente mucho antes. De todos modos, es un libro que va más allá del thriller tecno-científico plano, tan en boga y que sirve como reflexión de varios temas candentes últimamente como son el Diseño Inteligente, el Darwinismo y la Evolución, llevándonos a plantearnos muchas preguntas acerca de  la naturaleza humana y evitando caer en los tópicos del género.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">Leander Paes &#38; Lukas Dlouhy</span></em></p>
<p>Some great news in tennis for India.  Leander Paes has reached the finals of both the <strong><a href="http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/cmatch/16md.html" target="_blank">men's doubles</a></strong> and <a href="http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/cmatch/15xd.html" target="_blank"><strong>mixed doubles</strong></a> at the US Open.</p>
<p>Paes and his Czech partner Lukas Dlouhy sprinted into the men's doubles final by pulverising Argentine duo Maximo Gonzalez and Juan Monaco 6-2, 6-0 in just 46 minutes.  (<em>Lines courtesy: Rediff</em>)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://philip9876.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/cara-black.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1366" src="http://philip9876.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/cara-black.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="528" /></a><span style="color:#0000ff;"><em>Cara Black </em></span></p>
<p>Meanwhile in the mixed doubles, Paes and his partner Cara Black of Zimbabwe beat Nadia Petrova and Jonas Bjorkman 6-4, 6-4 to reach the finals.</p>
<p>The last time Leander Paes achieved such a result was in the 1999 Wimbledon.  Will he be able to repeat this feat at the last Grand Slam of the year ?</p>

<description><![CDATA[Classes start tomorrow, meaning tonight is my first school night in four months.  And in which case,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Classes start tomorrow, meaning tonight is my first school night in four months.  And in which case, I'm exactly where I should be - the last one awake, sitting in front of the computer and occasionally lurking Facebook, putting off sleep by watching the latest episode of <em>Weeds</em> with my earphones in.  Though tonight I'm significantly less tired and I also (thankfully) don't have any reading or writing to plow through yet.</p>
<p>After cramming an entire summer of <a href="http://ninanyc.com/2008/08/29/nina-max-do-nyc/">traipsing-around-NYC-like-a-tourist</a>-and-<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMl2QtZmLEQ">partying-like-it's-1999</a><strong>*</strong> into these past eight days, I've reached the final stages of unpacking.  And I cannot believe how much <em>stuff</em> I've accumulated in the two-and-a-half years I've been in college.   I blame this pack rat habit on my sentimental tendency to bestow meaning upon (and subsequently save) everythingg.  I mean, today I found the pack of cigarettes that I legally bought when I turned eighteen and never smoked; 2007 birthday cards still in their envelopes; and several cute, heart-shaped notes from <a href="http://ninanyc.com/2008/08/21/like-mother-like-daughter-photo-project/">my mother</a> reminding me that she loves me.</p>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="504" caption="Maria, Emily, and I (roommates!) last year.  My wall = so many pictures! Too many to keep up with/update. "]<img src="http://photos.l3.facebook.com/photos-l3-sf2p/v121/33/95/835636/n835636_36969521_8256.jpg" alt="My wall from last year - lotsss of outdated pictures that I still have but probably wont use anymore." width="504" height="378" />[/caption]
<p>Since this packing and moving process is now routine  - regularly transitioning between dorm, home, and apartment every year - it has become impractical and unnecessary to hold onto everything.  So I've decided to take a page from Max's book and attempt some form of minimalism.  I need less <em>stuff</em>.  Because it's too tiring to physically take my entire past with me and because it's entirely possible to remain sentimental/nostalgic by looking through old Facebook photos and commenting on old friends' walls.  And by reading old blog posts. <strong>Yup, the internet is my digital anti(-hoarding)drug.</strong> That, and I can access my memories on any web device without having to strap a crate of pictures/mementos to my back.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">This week Sports Card Info is starting a new feature called "Flashback Product of the Week".  Today I'm taking you back to the late 90's, where game used relics were fairly new and insert cards were all the rage.  This week I'm talking about 1998 and 1999 Topps Action Flats.  Topps went in a little different direction with this product.  When you opened a box and looked down to see what you got, all you could see were these tiny little figures looking back at you like a twisted "Toy Story" army.  Each pack contained a miniature plastic figure of an athlete that resembled a flattened pancake, and one Topps card.  There really wasn't anything different about the card except it had a foil logo on it that said "Action Flats".  Other than that it looked exactly like a regular Topps base card.  I'll admit that I purchased a few of these back in the day when I was a young collector.  I think I had a Dan Marino and Mark McGwire.  After 1999 these really didn't pan out and Topps stopped making them.  If you ask me, I can't believe they made more than one series of this product.</p>

Traditional or shlock? Whatever the arguement, the fact is, Monster Mash is a cult classic from <em>any</em> genre. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/02832162993636693148"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Hippy</span></a> often tells me his time period was far superior. Music was more fun, more wholesome, with songs like "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splish_Splash_%28song%29"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Splish Splash</span></a>", "<a href="http://crowbarred.blogspot.com/search/label/Coasters"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Yakety Yak</span></a>", "Flick The Fire Engine" (huh?), "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitarzan"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Guitarzan</span></a>", <a href="http://crowbarred.blogspot.com/search/label/Chubby%20Checker">"<span style="color:#ff0000;">The Twist</span></a>" &#38; probably millions more and he is probably 100% correct, but the truth is we can't (will not?) return to those days. The world is to digital now. We watched <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8krm6ZFkNc"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Saddam Hussein</span></a> being hanged, we watched <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFck7B5KXe4"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Brtiney</span></a> embarrass herself, simply. we do not miss a thing now. Back in Hippy's day nothing was "now" or "instant" you had to wait weeks before you could get your mits on a new album by <a href="http://crowbarred.blogspot.com/search/label/Elvis%20Presley%20840"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Elvis</span></a> or the <a href="http://crowbarred.blogspot.com/search/label/Beatles%20587"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Beatles</span></a>. Motion picture films took months to be released. This is why the world will never have its wholesome fun again &#38; to be honest i don't think people care anymore. Just don't tell Hippy.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#66ffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Genuinely</span></strong> shocking or tasteless, campy fun? It was sometimes hard to tell which way the Misfits wanted to be taken, and the immense cult following that has grown up in the years after their actual existence (1977-1983) seems divided in its own assessment. It certainly wasn't the Misfits' musicianship -- which was as crude as the recording quality of most of their oeuvre -- that endeared them to so many, although </span></span><a class="dlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Danzig"><span style="color:#ff6600;font-family:arial;">Glenn Danzig</span></a><span style="color:#66ffff;font-family:arial;"> possessed one of the most distinctive and tuneful bellows in hardcore punk. Rather, it was </span><a class="dlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Danzig"><span style="color:#ff6600;font-family:arial;">Danzig</span></a><span style="color:#66ffff;font-family:arial;">'s penchant for catchy, anthemic melodies, often delivered at warp speed, and his lyrical obsession with grade-B horror films and splatter imagery that helped the Misfits build a rabid posthumous following. Name-drops and covers by metal bands like </span><a class="dlink" href="http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/card/0,,467622,00.html"><span style="color:#ff6600;font-family:arial;">Metallica</span></a><span style="color:#66ffff;font-family:arial;"> and <a class="dlink" href="http://crowbarred.blogspot.com/search/label/Guns%20%27n%20Roses%20557"><span style="color:#ff6600;font-family:arial;">Guns N' Roses</span></a> kept the Misfits' songs circulating during the mid- to late '80s, when their tangled discography remained only sporadically in print -- reissues were maddeningly incomplete, and much of the band's prime material was confined to rare singles and EPs. The mid-'90s saw a spate of CD reissues that, while not quite presenting all of the Misfits' songs in the most concise, collectible format, at least succeeded in getting them all back into print, allowing those who missed the band the first time around to hear why they've enjoyed such enduring cult popularity<span style="color:#ff0000;">.</span></span></div>

<div>What does Rolling Stone <em>think</em> about the Misfits?</p>
<div>Taken from American Psycho: <span style="color:#ff99ff;font-family:courier new;">In <strong><span style="font-size:180%;">1977</span></strong>, the original <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Misfits"><span style="color:#ff6600;">misfits</span></a> wedded the melodic use of power chords to a B-movie aesthetic. Their second record, Walk Among Us, is a classic because singer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Danzig"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Glenn Danzig</span></a> avoided mere camp by injecting songs like "Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?" and "Vampira" with adolescent lust, range and nastiness. After a Halloween show in 1983, the Misfits broke up, leaving behind a fanatic cult following. A coffin-shape box set – a fitting epitaph – brought together most of their recordings.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_EfAejaDy-Nc/Rv9nf582OKI/AAAAAAAAD6o/GavNjqaVwX8/s1600-h/Misfits+4.jpg"><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><img style="float:right;cursor:hand;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_EfAejaDy-Nc/Rv9nf582OKI/AAAAAAAAD6o/GavNjqaVwX8/s200/Misfits+4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></span></a><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">End of story</span></strong>? Not exactly. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Misfits"><span style="color:#ff6600;">The</span><span style="color:#ff6600;"> Misfits</span></a> have returned from the grave – resurrected not by Satan but by litigation. After a nine-year fight, bass player <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Only"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Jerry Only</span></a>, a founding member, and his brother Doyle were allowed to record and tour as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Misfits"><span style="color:#ff6600;">the Misfits</span></a> (adding <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michale_Graves"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Michale Graves</span></a> on vocals and a new drummer). Graves does a credible imitation of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Danzig"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Glenn Danzig</span></a>. But the singer's generic vocals are as likely to career into Dexter Holland territory or a pointless Elvis imitation ("Day of the Dead"). The band seems desperate to claim the Misfits' self-proclaimed legacy of brutality ("Walk Among Us"). The musical formula hasn't changed: some old-style punk, a little metal and an occasional all-out thrasher. But this album feels less like the Misfits and more like Elvira. The song titles read like a quick trip through the video store ("The Haunting," "This Island Earth," "The Hunger," "Mars Attacks," etc.). There are few hooks and no memorable songs on American Psycho. All this longtime fan can say is, "Quick, Van Helsing, a stake."</span></span> (RS 760)</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bom, vamos a mais uma resenha, dessa vez é do <em>Elodia</em>, álbum lançadoem 1999 pela banda de Gothic Rock &#38; cia., <em>Lacrimosa</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">"<span style="color:#000000;">Antes do <em>Elodia</em>...</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Os álbuns anteriores ao <em>Elodia</em> tinham como temática principal, a solidão, o medo, a dor e o suspense... esse é o primeiro álbum cujo tema é principalmente o amor e o companheirismo.</span>"</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Nessa resenha, vou comparar o <em>Elodia</em>, por muitas vezes, com os álbuns anteriores da banda, prometo postar o mais breve possível, resenhas deles, para que esta que se segue seja melhor compreendida.</p>
<p>Logo na capa, já notamos a mudança... no lugar de um teatro vazio, um palácio; no lugar de sozinho e frustrado; o mesmo <em>Pierrot/Arlequim </em>de todas as capas se encontra com a amada <em>Elodia</em> em seus braços. Devo confessar que essa é a minha capa favorita.</p>
[caption id="attachment_21" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Capa do Elodia"]<a href="http://elashoq.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/elodia.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-21" src="http://elashoq.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/elodia.jpg?w=300" alt="Capa do Elodia" width="300" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>"Uma história de amor em três atos..."</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">O <em>Elodia</em> é um álbum mais requintado que seus antecessores, com muitos aperfeiçoamentos, principalmente na parte orquestrada (que por sinal precisou de nada menos que 189 músicos para ser gravada). Apesar de ser um álbum mais maduro e aperfeiçoado, ele não é simplesmente a continuação dos outros, pois pela primeira vez é introduzida nas letras uma temática mais romântica do que a melancólica e filosófica de sempre.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Der ersten Akt:</strong></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Am Ende der Stille</strong> - <em>"O silêncio cessou... estamos juntos agora"</em> - Abertura perfeita para o <em>Elodia</em>... pra mim lembra mais <em>Tchaikovsky</em> do que <em>Lizst</em> (mais precisamente me lembra bastante o Concerto para piano Nº1, por causa dos arranjos e da combinação de instrumentos da orquestra), vocal muito bem cadenciado e marcante que, apesar de durar pouco, faz toda a diferença, em tom épico, essa música realmente transmite o que expressa em seu título <em>"Am Ende der Stille"</em> - No fim do Silêncio (detalhe que o álbum anterior se chama <em>Stille</em>).</p>
<p><strong>Alleine zu Zweit</strong> - <em>"Dance comigo..."</em> - A baladinha, como no <em>Stille</em>, o <em>Elodia</em> começa com uma música longa e sinfônica seguida por um dos <em>Hits</em> do álbum... Uma declaração de amor eterno, de um amor que já passou pelo <em>Inferno </em>(calma, isso é o nome de outro álbum) e pelo <em>Stille</em>, e que agora se consolida. Ótimo dueto entre <em>Anne</em> e <em>Tilo</em>, com arranjos de orquestra muito refinados, música com ritmo e intensidade crescentes, com final orgástico (em vários sentidos XD). Gosto do clipe, apesar de ser um pouco "quente demais".</p>
<p><strong>Halt mich</strong> - <em>"Vitimado pela ansiedade"</em> - Vocal muito bem cadenciado, letra marcante e simplesmente o melhor arranjo com orquestra feito pelo Lacrimosa até então. Com ar desesperado, essa música reflete o que se sente quando por algum motivo alguém se vê sem o tão amado parceiro de <em>Alleine zu Zweit</em>. Uma das primeiras que eu ouvi, uma das que me marcou mais. Só acho um pouco enjoativa e curta demais para o padrão Lacrimosa de músicas orquestradas.</p>
<p><strong>The Turning Point</strong> - <em>"Preciso amar a mim mesmo(a)" </em>- Arranjo muito bom, a oboé na introdução me mata. Letra falando de superação, bem conveniente depois de todo o desespero de <em>Halt mich</em>. Desconsiderando a letra, essa música pra mim é algo como uma <em>Make it End</em> (muito) melhorada, <em>Anne</em> usando sua voz grave muito bem e transmitindo muito bem a mensagem da música.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Der zweiten Akt:</strong></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Ich verlasse heut' dein Herz</strong> - <em>"Te amo, te abandono"</em> - Uma linha de baixo em harmonia perfeita com o teclado, introduz uma atmosfera quase mística para o começo da música. <em>Tilo</em> ousa um pouco nos vocais, cantando dessa forma pela primeira vez. Solos muito bons de teclado e guitarra, inclusive gosto muito da virada de bateria, que indica que a música estaria mudando de período, e a surpresa que vem em seguida: o mesmo solo de antes.</p>
<p><strong>Dich zu töten fiel mir schwer</strong> - <em>"Não consigo deixar de pensar em você... como te esquecer?"</em> - Bom, primeiro vamos à polêmica do <em>"Quem canta no começo?"</em>: Eu acho mais provável que a voz do começo seja da <em>Anne</em>, com o <em>Tilo</em> no backing vocal, prestem atenção, eu acho que é isso mesmo. Música que intercala muitos períodos, leves e pesados, de forma que a primeira vez que ouvi essa música eu odiei. Mas depois que entendi do que se trata o tema da letra, passei a gostar da música... vocal muito bom do Tilo, principalmente do final, como já foi dito, ele canta como se não fosse mais parar. Ele também abusa dos efeitos de sonoplastia no meio da música... alguns efeitos sonoros meio cabulosos podem ser percebidos se você prestar um pouco de atenção.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Der dritten Akt:</strong></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Sanctus</strong> - <em>"Amor divino... preciso voltar para você" </em>- Agora sim temos uma música mais voltada para os moldes do <em>Stille</em>, mas assim como todas do <em>Elodia</em>, com os arranjos mais bem feitos e uma letra mais romântica do que o normal, muitas mudanças de período, muitos períodos diferentes na mesma música, vale a pena ouvir inteira, embora pareça difícil. Uso constante da orquestra e uso de guitarra para dar peso em algumas partes, inclusive com solos. Primeira música do Lacrimosa que é realmente ligada à religião, e bastante.</p>
<p><strong>Am Ende stehen wir Zwei</strong> - <em>"Uma segunda chance para nós..."</em> - Muito bom o coral do começo, seugido por um <em>riff</em> melancólico e pela voz do Tilo dizendo os primeiros versos da letra, atmosfera de <em>"calmaria após a tempestade"</em>. Destaque para o uso da serra cantante <em>(singing saw)</em> um instrumento cujo som lembra o de um fantasma de filmes de terror antigos. Letra cativante e melodia única. Encerramento perfeito para o <em>Elodia</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">"</span>Após o <em>Elodia</em>...</p>
<p>Os temas românticos tomam lugar nas letras, sendo acompanhados por algumas passagens otimistas e outras pessimistas. Os arranjos orquestrados vão se aperfeiçoando gradativamente, sendo misturados com elementos do<em> Heavy Metal</em>, da Música Eletrônica, do <em>Pop</em>, do <em>Rock</em> Progressivo, entre outros, mas sempre com a orquestra ao fundo, dando o toque de Lacrimosa nas composições.<span style="color:#ff0000;">"</span></p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahir vaig tornar a veure <em>The Thomas Crown Affair</em> (1999), <em>remake </em>de la pel·lícula del mateix títol dirigida l'any 1968 per Norman Jewison i protagonitzada per <a href="http://stevemcqueen.com/">Steve McQueen</a> i <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001159/">Faye Dunaway</a>. La cinta dels noranta la va realitzar en John McTiernan (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001532/">Imdb</a> i <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McTiernan">wiki</a>) -<em>Die Hard</em> (1988), <em>The Hunt for Red October</em> (1990), <em>Die Hard With a Vengeance</em> (1995)-, amb la solvència que sempre el caracteritza; els papers de McQueen i Dunaway, d'altra banda, van ser adoptats per Pierce Brosnan i Rene Russo. No he vist la peli original (tinc molta curiositat, sincerament) però la versió de McTiernan m'agrada força, sobretot per una cosa: la seva banda sonora. El responsable de les peces noves és en Bill Conti (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006015/">Imdb</a>), compositor italoamericà profundament desaprofitat pel cinema de primera divisió -ha treballat molt per la televisió, malgrat haver escrit partitures històriques com la del tema central de <em>Rocky</em>-. Però la <em>tracklist </em>també inclou cançons originals d'altres artistes, entre les quals m'enlluerna una: <em>Sinnerman</em>, de Nina Simone (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006015/">web</a> i <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Simone">wiki</a>). És el fil musical de la millor escena del film. Disfruteu.</p>
