Hayes Plots Double CD |
PR reports: Superstar and critically-acclaimed
Pop artist Darren Hayes is currently in the studio mixing a collection

David Bowie. Hayes has been feverishly co-producing with the likes of Justin
Shave (Etherfox, [Love] Tattoo) and Robert Conley (Hayes' Tension and The
Spark) and mixing with the great Ash Howes (Nelly Furtado, Dido, Kylie.)
Hayes, best known by the world as the voice of Multi-Platinum band SAVAGE
GARDEN, has made himself a solo artist to reckon with in not only his homeland
of Australia, but also in the UK, Europe and Asia.[see full story for more

but to being in a band, with all that entails!

| Electric
Prunes Reissues |
PR reports: When you mention the Electric
Prunes, the Nuggets-era garage/psychedelic hits "Too Much To Dream Last
Night" and "Get Me to the World on Time" generally come to mind. But unlike
many of their one-or-two-hit contemporaries, the Electric Prunes never
really went away. Or at least the name stayed alive while the personnel
changed completely. It's all part of one of the most bizarre stories in
rock 'n' roll history. But before we elaborate, we'd like to announce that
the Prunes' two final Warner Bros./Reprise albums � Release of an Oath
(1968) and Just Good Old Rock and Roll (1969) � will be reissued on Collectors'
Choice Music on March 13, completing the label's reissues of all things
Prune.[see full story for more... and before you ask, Strange Fruit was

| Dylan
Speaks |
Bob Dylan going electric at
the Newport Folk Festival was a legendary moment in rock history that arguably
defined a generation. That Dylan could create these moments and this myth,
mostly be accident, looms over his career and notably a press conference
he held while on a 5 night stop in San Francisco a few short months after
Newport. (4 stars)

 Amorphis
� Eclipse |
'Eclipse' is a disc which mixes
the death-doom parts of 'Tales from the Thousand Lakes'and the mellow,
more "trippy" parts from <'Tuonela' and has created a new face for Amorphis.
I tend to think it is the best of both worlds.- Read
