Shriekback is not an easy band to sort out. They borrowed heavily from funk only had a identical different agendum; their music was more than worthy for reflexion than for parties. They combined synthesizers and drum machines with throbbing bass lines and maverick vocals to extract a primal earthly business concern where the line 'tween human and creature was foggy. The rubric of their twenty-five percent album, Swelled Night Music, power be the most summary summation of their crop: Shriekback's medicine was perpetually an inhibit soundtrack for life-time in the dark, only with the vehemence on the possibilities quite than the dangers. Though often haunting, it was non gothic and harbored strains of pop and dance that rosebush to the surface from time to prison term. Still, notwithstanding accessible they became, Shriekback polite an atmospheric state of secret that made them concentrated to wedge down. Further complicating whatever rating of their life history is the fact that they never made a single, smart as a whip record album that concentrated all their strengths in one shoes; their dress hat substantial is spreading taboo across a decennium during which they underwent a great take of development.

Shriekback came together in 1982 as a unaffixed tie based around the trio of Dave Allen (bass), Barry Andrews (keyboards/vocals), and Carl Marsh (vocals/guitar). Allen and Andrews had previously been members of Gang of Four and XTC, respectively; Marsh had played with the more obscure Out on Blue Six. They cursorily developed a trademark sound that had little to do with the members' previous credits. The bedrock of that sound was Allen's sinewy all the same melted bass playing, which was a quantum saltation beyond his comparatively unprocessed ferment with Gang of Four. On top of this Shriekback deployed creative and intricate metal drum programs; Andrews' many-sided synthesizer shadings; strategically situated, mostly musical rhythm guitar from Marsh; and whispered vocals from Andrews along with Marsh's more melodic tattle. Both vocalists were technically limited, merely this was more than than compensated for by the band's tight playing and remindful, intelligent lyrics.

The get-go Shriekback release was the six-song EP Tench, which appeared on the English Y judge in 1982. It was followed in 1983 by the LP Upkeep, likewise on Y, which featured the quasi-hit "Lined Up," the sung that put Shriekback on the map for many hoi polloi. Tending was picked up and released in the U.S. by Warner Brothers, with an adapted running order and deuce different tracks, including the polyrhythmic "My Spine (Is the Bass Line)."

Although Upkeep was critically acclaimed and garnered a fairish amount of airplay from both college wireless and fledgeling modern rock radio, that was not sufficiency for Warner Brothers, world Health Organization dropped Shriekback and deleted Care shortly after its handout. As a resultant role, the follow-up, 1984's Block Science, was released but in Europe (this fourth dimension on Arista). Slicker, less murky, and more focussed on electronics than its predecessor, Jam Science contained the dub-influenced exclusive "Hand on My Heart."

A good deal of Shriekback's music from this early geological period is to the highest degree readily uncommitted on deuce mistitled, indisposed packaged, but indispensable CDs from Kaz Records. The Best of Shriekback: The Infinite is made up of seven-spot songs from Care, ternary from Tench, and the single "Running on the Ground." The Best of Shriekback Volume Two: Evolution offers one more song from Tending and basketball team from Jam Science, along with a nice compartmentalization of remixes and B-sides.

Toward the end of the Jam Science sessions, Shriekback became a quartette with the addition of drummer Martyn Barker; however, they apace became a trio once more when Carl Marsh foregone battle of Midway through the recording of their third record album. Andrews took over as fillet of sole singer and the addition of Lu Edmonds on guitar brought a more aggressive sound to Oil and Gold, which was released in 1985. Songs like "Malaria" and "Nemesis" rocked harder than anything Shriekback had recorded ahead, delivery them a far wider audience than they had antecedently enjoyed. Oil and Gold sold intimately in its U.S. release on Island Records.

Shriekback released 2 more albums on Island in the '80s. 1986's Braggy Night Music featured a heart trio of Allen, Andrews, and Barker augmented by chartered hands like Mike Cozzi (guitar), Steve Halliwell (keyboards), and Wendy and Sarah Partridge (backup vocals). Continuing Oil and Gold's go toward accessibility, Big Night Music had a more than organic sound with an emphasis on live percussion section. Shriekback seemed poised on the brink of improbable stardom, just Allen foregone ahead the recording of Go Bang! (1988), which was unwell received by both critics and fans. Perhaps they were assign off by the absence of Allen's signature low end, or possibly it was the inconsistent material, including an ill-advised cover of KC and the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight."

That appeared to be the terminal of Shriekback, wHO dropped out of sight in the late '80s and early '90s. Their only spill during that period was the pointless and exploitatory 1990 digest The Dancing Years. But Allen, Andrews, and Barker reunited in 1992 to record the splendid Sacred City, which basically picked up where Big Night Music left off. There was some other long muteness subsequently that, just as of 2000 some form of Shriekback was seemingly still in beingness; an album called Naked Apes and Pond Life, featuring Andrews, Barker, Edmonds, and 2 new members, was released that year by the Australian Mushroom label.

Madonna opens heart about her "painful" struggle to adopt

Madonna Pop superstar Madonna yesterday opened her heart about her "painful" struggle to adopt Malawian tot David Banda� -- comparing it to natural childbirth.

The singer -- who celebrates her 50th birthday later this year -- talked openly about her and husband Guy Ritchie's controversial battle to adopt the two-year-old.

She says, "It was painful and a big struggle and I didn�t understand it.

"In the end I rationalized that when a woman goes through natural childbirth, she suffers an enormous amount.

"I went through my own kind of birthing pains � dealing with the press on my doorstep, accusing me of kidnapping or whatever.

�But I had to go through some kind of process and in the end it made me stronger so I can�t complain."

The 'Material Girl' singer also blasted reports that David was adopted without his father�s consent -- and that his mother had not really died of Aids.

She said, "Yes his mother did die of Aids and yes, I met his father and he absolutely agreed to the adoption.

"There is nothing controversial about the adoption. It is just there�s a lot of bureaucracy and administration. This adoption essentially was the beginning of the creation of adoption laws in Malawi."

She said she now sees herself as the role model for future adoptions in the country.

Madonna was speaking at a press conference about her new documentary I Am Because We Are � which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday.

The film, featuring David, paints a stark picture of life in Malawi and shows kids orphaned by Aids.

Six arrested in follow up to OiNK raid

Six people alleged to be former users of the OiNK file sharing website have been arrested "in relation to uploading pre-release music", it has emerged.

The individuals were arrested then released on bail by Cleveland police at the end of last month. They have been asked in interview for their OiNK login details and about links to Alan Ellis, who ran the site, according to reports.

Ellis, from Middlesbrough, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and copyright infringement when the site was closed down by police in October. He has not been charged and remains on police bail.

Membership of OiNK, a BitTorrent tracker which specialised in high quality music, was by invite only. It is thought to have been targeted because of its focus on pre-release music.

Record industry association the BPI said this week: "The illegal online distribution of music, particularly pre-release, is hugely damaging, and as OiNK was the biggest source for pre-releases at the time we moved to shut it down."

John Hurt - Hurt Stunned By Spielberg Offer

Veteran British actor JOHN HURT was stunned to be offered a part in INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL - because he thought a call from STEVEN SPIELBERG was a hoax.

The 68-year-old stars alongside Harrison Ford in the latest installment of the adventure franchise - but feared he had upset Spielberg by asking to look over the script before he made his decision.

He recalls, "When I got the call from Steven Spielberg I almost said, 'Yeah, pull the other one!'.

"Then I thought, 'Hang on, I recognise that voice. It really is him!' He asked me if I'd like to come and do the film and I insisted on seeing the script.

"I was told later that nobody asks to see the script when Spielberg calls, you just say 'Yes.'

"They had to send a courier over from Los Angeles, who delivered the script at three in the afternoon, collected it at eight in the evening, stayed the night in a hotel and flew back to Los Angeles. It was a very expensive read."

"Iron Man" a superhero hit at the box office

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comic book adventure "Iron Man" proved its mettle at the North America box office and topped expectations, kicking off the summer movie season with estimated weekend ticket sales of $100.75 million and marking a commercial rebound for its star, Robert Downey Jr.

The tally far exceeded expectations of an opening in the $70 million to $80 million range for the three-day period beginning Friday. All told, the film produced by Marvel Studios grossed $104.25 million, counting receipts from Thursday evening previews, according to studio figures issued on Sunday.

"Iron Man's" U.S.-Canadian haul fell just shy of the $114.8 million grossed by "Spider-Man" -- perhaps the most famous Marvel superhero of all -- in the first weekend of May 2002. That tally stands as the biggest domestic opening ever for a non-sequel film.

"Spider-Man 3" still holds the record for the biggest opening weekend of all time -- $151 million in the first weekend of May 2007.

Distributed through Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures, the film is the first self-financed production from Marvel Studios, a division of Marvel Entertainment Inc. Costing about $150 million to make and $75 million to market, the film is being closely watched as the first major release of the summer movie season.

"It's the perfect way to start the new studio, to blast it off," Marvel Studios Chairman David Maisel told Reuters. "We're fortunate to have this powerful Marvel brand which means something for moviegoers around the world."

FROM PLAYBOY TO SUPERHERO

Drawing largely favorable reviews, "Iron Man" stars Downey, 43, as billionaire industrialist and playboy Tony Stark, who wrestles with a mid-life crisis as he invents a high-tech suit of armor that transforms him into a superhero.
