22 октября в Бостоне. В Б-О-С-Т-О-Н-Е состоится вечеринка по поводу релиза данного релиза со всякими подарками и прочей ерундой.
Но, черт возьми, в Бостоне. Откуда взялся Бостон-то? Лэйбл Astralwerks делает свое дело.

удивительно смотрится фраза на штатовском линке:
"from international superstar"

но про США слышать лишний раз удивительно, ты знаешь )
поэтому...даже как-то обидно, что вечеринка даже в Америке будет, а у нас о подобном и желать не приходится. К следующему релизу постараюсь это исправить. Еще поговорим на эту тему, кстати )

продолжая тему про Штаты, было бы недурно, если Роб выбрался на вечеринку и подписал бы диски или что-то в этом роде. В конце концов, ни о каких пустотах в небольшом зале говорить не придется, а преданным фанам из Америки наверно приятно его увидеть. Хороший шаг мог быть.
Впрочем, 23 он в Германии уже должен быть, да? Так что это все мечты о желании быть в составе его менеджмента

Robbie Williams returns to the spotlight on October 12th with his CD, In And Out Of Consciousness – The Greatest Hits 1990 - 2010, which compiles all the best of his 20 years in the world of music. Though he is versatile, creative, and extravagant, it has always struck me as odd that Williams hasn't been able to fully succeed outside Europe and become a hit in the US.

From present to past, Williams opens this album with two new songs: "Heart and I" and "Shame," a feel good ballad duet with Gary Barlow that is Williams's first collaboration with Barlow after leaving Take That in 1995. From his latest studio album, Reality Killed The Video Star, we can listen to "Morning Sun" and "You Know Me," a classic Robbie Williams ballad with lovely backing vocals that makes us go back in time a little bit, and "Bodies," the lead single of the album which is meant to be Williams' great comeback.

Three songs summarise Rudebox (released in 2006): "She's Madonna," a love song to the pop star that was made in collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys; "Lovelight," a cover from Lewis Taylor's 2003's original song and Williams' approach to dance electro pop, and "Rudebox" where the singer moves away of his style by trying a hip-hop song, taking as basis a sample from "Boops (Here I Go)" by Sly & Robbie.

From Intensive Care (2005), Williams has taken out "Sin, Sin, Sin," "Advertising Space," an elegy to a superstar's tragic fall, "Make Me Pure," and "Tripping," a very catchy song where Williams plays with different changes of voice and some reggae and Arabic sounds.

In 2004, Williams released his first Greatest Hits and the chosen songs are "Misunderstood," featured in the soundtrack of the movie Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and the powerful "Radio." In my opinion, one of Williams's best albums is Escapology (2003), and it's so nice to see that the beautiful "Sexed Up" has been added to this compilation next to the soulful "Something Beautiful," the controversial "Come Undone," and the hit "Feel," another trademark song with beautiful and deep lyrics.

With Swing When You're Winning (2001), an homage to his idol Frank SInatra, Williams proves that he's also a great crooner: "I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen" and his covers of "Mr. Bojangles" and "Something Stupid," where Nicole Kidman puts her delicate voice to Nancy Sinatra's part are examples of the singer's softest side. Sing When You're Winning (2000) offers to this compilation "The Road To Mandalay," a touching song written in France while on holidays; "Eternity," a sequel to the previous song and a tribute to Williams's close friendship with former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell with Queen's Brian May on lead guitar; "Let Love Be Your Energy," "Supreme," which takes Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" melody and gets mixed up with some intelligent lyrics giving as a result a supreme song; the sexy "Kids," where Williams duets with Aussie Kylie Minogue, an indisputably sweet and spicy chemistry that led to one of the best duets ever, and "Rock DJ," another important song for the singer's career featuring a very controversial video where he literally strips off to his bones.

Five songs have been extracted from his second album I've Been Expecting You (1998): "It's Only Us," the theme song for the Sony Playstation Fifa 2000 football game; "She's The One," "Strong," "No Regrets," an autobiographical song about his past experiences with the great collaboration in the backing vocals of Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant and The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon.

When the new millennium was approaching, Williams honored that event with "Millennium," inspired by John Barry's Bond music. His first solo album Life Thru a Lens (1999) has also a remarkable spot in this compilation: the anthem "Let Me Entertain You," a clear homage to The Rolling Stones as their movie Rock "n" Roll served as inspiration. This song contains a piano riff similar to the Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil," and it's the perfect reflection of Williams's devotion to entertain all of us. Energetic and powerful, it serves as the opening of most of his concerts. "Angels," a song that saved the singer's solo career and is included in most of his concerts as the grand finale; "South of the Border" and "Lazy Days," which were minor hits outside the UK and "Old Before I Die," the first original solo success of Williams after leaving Take That.

Finally, the album closes with a cover of George Michael's "Freedom" and "Everything Changes," a song from his latest collaboration with Take That before leaving the band.

к сожалению, только на территории Чили

http://www.feriamix.cl/images/caratulas/05/16/2/516293.jpg

может, это не самое великое творение, но оно хотя бы подходит смыслу этого релиза вообще

впрочем, я уже жаловался =)

но это Greatest Hits, нужно что-то особенное, отличительное
как это было у самих Take That в 96, к примеру, и я уж не говорю про Queen и т.д.

кстати, если у кого есть сложности с покупкой или заказа диска в их городах, приемлемый вариант

The night is to celebrate the new single by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow called ‘Shame’ which you may have heard on youtube or on the TV music channels but the greatest hits album ‘In and Out of Consciousness 1990-2010′ from Robbie is out on October 8th and they will be the first venue to play the single and will be giving away copies of the album on the night.

Commenting on the exclusive preview at The George, Darragh Flynn, The George Manager, said, “It is such an honour for The George to be one of the first venues in Ireland to play Robbie’s brand new single. The George has become renowned for being the first bar in Ireland to play exclusive new single and album previews”

A two-disc affair, the album inevitably contains singles you've completely forgotten or were unaware of in the first place, like Make Me Pure, Sexed Up, It's Only Us, and something called I Will Talk And Hollywood Will Listen, which was a double A-side with Mr Bojangles, apparently. It's interesting that someone so ubiquitous could have managed to release so many records by stealth, slipping them past the consciousness of a nation.

All the big ones are here too: Angels, Rock DJ, She's The One... a schizophrenic mix of post-modern, ironic pop and fat auntie pleasing slop that's defined his ADHD of a career.

There are two new tracks, as is obligatory. Shame is a charming and witty collaboration between two men who didn't used to be friends and now are. Though the fact that Gary Barlow is now better looking and a better singer than Robbie Williams illustrates the cruelty of the ageing process and the unwelcome effects of amphetamine abuse.

Heart And I is another Barlow co-write, demonstrating Gazza's newfound ability to weld Keane-like sophisticated stadium soft rock with hands-in-the-air pop choruses. The words are typical Williams I'm-a-bit-of-mess-but-then-the-world's-a-confusing-place-isn't-it-eh? mumbo-jumbo, lacking a sing-able hook. But then, that's what Take That are for. And we don't have to wait long for that chapter in Robbie's rehabilitation. Let's just hope he doesn't ruin it by being a cunt. Again.

Robbie Williams - In And Out Of Consciousness: The Greatest Hits 1990-2010 is released on October 11.

Говорить гадости про Greatest Hits Робби могут только те, кто не любит его и релиз тут не при чем. Просто смешно ругать IAOOC, который своей разнообразностью способен украсить полку любого слушателя, даже не поклонника Робби.

Поэтому с одной стороны смешно читать, с другой - привыкли к британской желтизне...но третья сторона все-таки оставляет грусть. Робби не заслужил разноса успешнейших композиций.
