 (3 Customer Reviews)
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS is a collection of cover versions of the band's favorite songs.
By the late 80's, most Siouxse & the Banshees fans must have realized by now to expect anything with a new release, after all, this was a band that could alternate between challenging psychedelic goth (HYAENA) and more melodic, pop-oriented material (TINDERBOX). So when the band decided to issue an album comprised entirely of cover songs by bands they admired, 1987's THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, it shouldn't have come as much of a shock. As expected, the band injects their own instantly identifiable sound into these rock classics, rarely ever simply covering the songs note for note. Highlights include inspired re-readings of the Sparks' "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us," Iggy Pop's "The Passenger," Television's "Little Johnny Jewel," and probably the two most surprising selections of the whole set, the Bob Dylan/Band nugget "This Wheel's on Fire" and the track from Disney's THE JUNGLE BOOK - "Trust in Me."
Recorded at Abbey Road Studio 2, London, England in August and September 1986.

Although Coldplay was already big before A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD's 2002 release, nothing could have prepared the British band for the album's Grammy-garnering runaway success. In addition to becoming a full-blown rock star, frontman Chris Martin remained in the media spotlight through his marriage to actress Gwyneth Paltrow and the subsequent birth of the couple's child. What followed for Coldplay was, reportedly, a difficult ...

The Islands Cried CD is Album 1 in the Island Trilogy Series. Album 2 is Bimini Bay and Album 3 is coming soon. This CD includes two songs that honor recent tragedies in Bimini. “The Islands Cried” is a tribute to the victims of the crash of Chalks flight 101, December 18, 2005. It is dedicated to the victims, and their families and friends. “Compleat Angler” is a tribute to the historic hotel and bar of the same name that burned to the ground on January 13, 2006. It is dedicated to proprietor Julian Brown who died in the fire, and his daughter Julianeta and his mother Gran Ma Alma B, sole survivors of tragic Brown family.All of the songs in this Album were inspired by the Artist’s family and friends including his extended family the Out Island People of Bimini. The songs were written and performed by singer/songwriter Ed Du Bois at his home in Port Royal, South Bimini BahamasFor lyrics and more information on the songs, and the stories behind all of the songs, including pictures and products go to our websites and www.IslandHomeRecords.com or www.eddubois.com.Music is magical. I have always loved music. It moves me like nothing else. Instantly it takes me places, fulfills my fantasies, changes my mood, makes me laugh, and makes me cry. I’ll never forget that day many years ago when I realized what music did to me-it was in the late fifties. I was at a friend’s house and he had a new 45 record player and a stack of records, very exciting! I had never seen or heard of anything like it. Several records were played and then there was Fats Domino singing “Blueberry Hill”. I was hooked, blown away. We played it over and over maybe thirty or forty times. The inflection in Fats’ voice, the story, the piano, and the lyrics moved me like nothing I’d ever known before. When this total stranger sang that verse, “The wind in the willows played love’s sweet melody and all of those vows we made were never to be….” I would tear up and try to hide it from my friend because real men didn’t cry over songs. Finally, he looked at me and saw the emotion in my face and at that point I didn’t care, I just cried. I’m not sure how many people have ever cried over “Blueberry Hill” but it did it for me and opened up a musical treasure chest for the rest of my life.Eagerly I joined the school orchestra and marching band and tried to further my interest in music. In August of 1960 I loved the ballads and music of the Kingston Trio and was dazzled by Bob Shane’s guitar, a Martin D28. At a summer job I saved up $ 400. I walked into an Ace Music store in Miami and there it was hanging on the wall, a D28 just like Bob Shane’s. It was beautiful, shiny and reeking of the smell of the Brazilian rosewood of which it was made. The price was $ 325. Without hesitation I bought it, took it home and played it for hours. It was wonderful, like a new girlfriend, new baseball glove, a 1957 Chevy. That night my dad came home and found me ...
