Viccars' Album Review #3

NirvanaNevermindalbumcoverNevermind (1991)
Artist: Nirvana
Label: DGC
Producers: Butch Vig
  1. Smells Like Teen Spirit ★★★★☆
  2. In Bloom ★★★☆☆
  3. Come as You’re ★★★☆☆
  4. Breed ★★★☆☆
  5. Lithium ★★★☆☆
  6. Polly ★★☆☆☆
  7. Territorial Pissing ★★☆☆☆
  8. Drain You ★★☆☆☆
  9. Lounge Act ★☆☆☆☆
  10. Stay Away ★☆☆☆☆
  11. On a Plain ★★☆☆☆
  12. Something in the Way ★★★☆☆
  13. Endless, Nameless (hidden track) ★☆☆☆☆
After recently watching Cobain: Montage of Heck; a documentary about Kurt Cobain directed by Brett Morgen, I found myself compelled to write something in homage to the great man himself.  So here we are, bearing down on yet another album review by yours truly.
“Nevermind” is the second studio album by Nirvana which took on unsuspected success back in 1991.  Maybe it was the Dave Grohl factor? But it was more than likely down to the overwhelming positive reception to the now rock cult classic “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.
In the song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” we are tossed from wherever we are at the time of inception, into an ocean like mosh pit; thrashing us with waves of chaotic guitar rage, and then soothed by Cobain’s almost trance-like voice-encapsulating all those whom hear-to only then throw you back into a frenzied mosh pit, much like a siren calling sailors to their demise.
As you listen through the album you’re met with instant recognisable classics such as “In Bloom”, “Come as you are”, “Breed” and “Lithium.” However, after this the album kind of loses me in a state of chaotic fury, which I can’t seem to understand.  Nonetheless, we then get to “Something in the Way”, and I become instantly mesmerised again. Kurt has a special way of bringing people to feel his emotions; and in this song you get a sense of dark frustrated sadness. This acoustic stroke of genius is a real stand out track for me, it just resonates with me.
Nirvana thrashed their way to chart success paving the way for rock bands to follow.

Prey - Exclusive Interview with Director Sunny King

Lifestyle MK's Film Critic Tremayne Miller caught a quickie interview with the director of short film Prey at the TriForce Short Film Festival.


Prey tells the story of a young woman who finds herself in trouble in car park with a psychopath after a party.


TM: All in all how long did it take you to get the story of Prey off the ground?

SK: It took us about four to six months to get the story off the ground. The first draft was done by the writer but we both worked on it until we felt satisfied.

TM: Was it a collaborative effort; and where did you draw your inspiration from?

SK: It was a collaborative effort and we had many revisions. It was quite a process but after reading the eight draft, we knew we were ready.   Inspiration came from research materials. I watched world cinema thrillers from Hong Kong, Japan and the US. I also drew from Hollywood films made in the 90's and late eighties.

TM:  Is there a particular process you go through with your Actors, i.e. Improvisation, from which a script is then locked down, or do you always work strictly from the Text?

SK: I always allow room for improvisation and of course I was very fortunate to work with talented actors like Weruche Opia, Oc Ukeje and Steve mace; who brought their A-game to the process. Ironically, as we ran through our last rehearsals, the script changed and the actor had to improvise.


As the first global agency to focus on African film and TV talents, Restless Talent represents several of Africa’s top actors (Nse Ikpe-Etim, OC Ukeje, Anthony Oseyemi, Nana Mensah, Kehinde Bankole, Diana Yekinni), writers (Kemi Adesoye, Tunde Aladese), and directors (Shirley Frimpong Manso, Tosh Gitonga, Caroline Kamya, Sunny King, Kivu Ruhorahoza and C.J. Fiery Obasi).

VICCARS' ALBUM REVIEW #2 - Elephant (2003) by The White Stripes


Secklow's Paul Viccars invites you to listen to his favourite albums.                                                                                                                                                                         This week he's been listening to:
Elephant (2003)

Artist: The White Stripes

Label: XL

Producer: Jack White

Tracks:
1. Seven Nation Army ★★★★★
2. Black Math ★★★★☆
3. There’s No Home for You Here ★★★☆☆
4. I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself ★★★★☆
5. In the Cold, Cold Night ★★★★☆
6. I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mothers Heart ★★☆☆☆
7. You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket ★★☆☆☆
8. Ball and Biscuit ★★★☆☆
9. The Hardest Button to Button ★★★☆☆
10. Little Acorns ★★★☆☆
11. Hypnotize ★★★★☆
12. The Air Near My Fingers ★★★☆☆
13. Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine ★★★☆☆
14. Well It's True That We Love One Another ★★★☆☆

Elephant is the fourth album by The White Stripes and deservedly received wide critic acclaim, notably winning a Grammy Award for “Best Alternative Music Album”. For me this is the album that saw The White Stripes really come into their own, I mean their first three albums were good but nothing like this one; Elephant is special. I mean when you kick-start an album with such an original yet simple song like “Seven Nation Army”, literally anyone with working hands can pick up a guitar and play that riff and yet it’s so atmospheric you hear it echoing around many of Europe’s football stadiums being chanted by thousands of fans. That’s something special, not many artists can say they’ve done that.

Now I read that the vinyl sleeve for us Brits was a special version was actually made out of elephant dung… cheers guys won’t be able to touch that again without washing my hands! With Jack White being the technophobe producer he is this album was produced without the use of modern tech and instead Jack opted for a more analogue style and to be honest you can tell a Jack White album from anything else out there today, his guitar sound is such a signature of himself it feels like he is infused into the music.

I’m not going to lie I honestly struggled to rate this album as I felt that this would be a five star album but as it happened with the way I score my music its fallen just short but let’s be honest this is near on perfection.

VERDICT:  One of the greatest albums of all time.
★★★★☆
