Cody And Marus Makes A Song

BUDGIE 1980

"For" Power Supply "is a hard city, like the grimy steelworks in Sheffield."

BUDGIE "Power Supply" 1980

Budgie was for me a cornerstone to more than one way. He was first and foremost the first group allowed me to delve into the mysteries of dark heavy metal, in this world of insider groups, cults. So I discovered there was life beyond The Who, Led Zeppelin and AC / DC. As a result, I became a sort of specialist obscure original to my comrades.
My discovery of this seminal Welsh trio effected through a compilation of the first five albums, the classics, but I quickly discovered that the band's career took several start, including that of 1979.
At that time, gave everything Budgie: 7 albums, 10 years on the road, the last three in Canada and the USA to try to penetrate, and eventually by much. Only "Bandolier" album of 1975, reached a difficult 49th place in the British charts, before taking the punk the mug. The turn over trading records following criticism is unconvincing, and Budgie have always seen her guitarist Tony Bourge, withdraw, worn by so many vain efforts.
Shelley Burke, bassist-singer and band leader, hiring temporary Rob Kendrick, former guitarist in Trapeze. But it is two that Shelley and drummer Tony Williams defeated back in Britain. Hope is reborn yet when the two fellows saw the excitement of the heavy metal scene of the time.
They hired guitarist Big John Thomas, a member of a group of hard-blues English, George Hatcher Band, and recorded an EP under particularly hairy "If Swallowed Do Not Induce Vomiting. And first observation: Budgie has the balls. Because how do you explain the power of these 4 songs, except by deep frustration find themselves virtually to zero after ten years of career?
Dice "Wildfire," and its killer riff, backed by a powerful rhythm and square, we enter the heavy metal of the 80s, but with this key seventies blues Budgie avoids falling into the power-metal container.
And "Power Supply", published in 1980, does not help matters. Instead, Budgie is directly as the godfather of Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Saxon and other Holocaust Tygers Of Pan Tang. Even before the NWOBHM explosion taking place in 1980, Budgie is already in the ranks, and is one of the most formidable.
For "Power Supply" is a hard city, like the grimy steel mills of Sheffield. Electrical, wild, returned inside, powerful, it spares nothing to the listener. Obviously, there is the melodic touch of Shelley, the thin line that holds the music Budgie between menacing smoothness and absolute violence.
This is particularly true on the incredible "Gunslinger" sweet melody sound a bit worrying it gradually becomes electrified, before plunging into a deluge of decibels and sparkling solos Thomas. Yet we can say that Budgie has tightened its music seriously, titles do not spread beyond six minutes against the sometimes ten starts. The guitar sound is tighter, too, away from the riffs and solos of iommisants Bourge.
In fact, Budgie is now a band with songs more square. All are shaped banners proud, hymns led by riffs simple but direct and effective, and uncompromising. The atomic "Hellbender," the powerful "Power Supply", the enormous "Heavy Revolution, and the final and heavy" Crime Against The Wolrd "are real gems. But there is always the soul, fragile side, sickly, including "Secrets In My Head" and "Time To Remember".
short, this album is a classic in the sense that music speaks to the heart of an immediate, flawless. Subsequently, Budgie will further trade concessions to stick to the sound of the time, drifting hard FM. Suddenly, "Power Supply" is really the band's most spontaneous, most vindictive, black diamond which imposed Budgie definitely be a very large group of heavy-metal.

Indians And Mexicans Look Similar

Mirror negative

Excerpt from Chapter II, Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino. Excerpt from chapter
II Invisible Cities , Italo Calvino .


"-Are you always advances with its head turned backwards?
Or:
-What you see is always behind you?
Or better
-Your journey is t it always in the past?
All this so that Marco Polo might explain or be explained or imagined imagined explaining or succeed finally explained to himself that what he sought was always something in front of him, and even if it were the past was a past that changed as he went on his journey, because the traveler's past changes according to the itinerary, and We are not saying the recent past which each day that passes adds another day, but the most distant past. When he arrives in a new city, the traveler finds a part of his past that he did not know he possessed. The strangeness of what you are or do not possess more waiting at the crossing in foreign places and never possessed.
Marco enters a city, he sees someone on a place to live a life or a moment that could have been hers, he could be in the place of this man, now if he had, once, once, stopped, or if, once at a crossroads, instead of taking any On the one hand he took the opposite side and after a long journey it had happened to be in place this man on this site. Now itself is excluded from this past, whether real or hypothetical and can not stop and must continue to another city awaits another of his past lives, or something that can -being was one of its possible future lives and is now this time from someone else. Futures advenus not do anything other than branches of its past: the dead branches.
"You travel to relive your past life?
was at this point the question of Khan, who could still be formulated this way: "You
travel to find your future? And the answer
Marco:
-The mirror is also negative. The traveler recognizes the little that it belongs to him, and discovers everything he did not, and will not. "

" Advance-You Always Turned Back With Your Head?
gold
-Is what you see Always behind you?
gold Rather,
-Does your journey take place only in the past?
All this so that Marco Polo could explain or imagine explaining or be imagined explaining or succeed finally in explaining to himself that what he sought was always something lying ahead, and even if it was a matter of the past it was a past that changed gradually as he advanced on his journey, because the traveller's past changes according to the route he has followed: not the immediate past, that is, to which each day that goes by adds a day, but the more remote past. Arriving at each new city, the traveller finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places. Marco enters a city; he sees someone in a square living a life or an instant that could be his; he could now be in that man's place, if he had stopped in time, long ago; or if, long ago, at a crossroads, instead of taking one road he had taken the opposite one, and after long wandering he had come to be in the place of that man in that square. By now, from that real or hypothetical past of his, he is excluded; he cannot stop; he must go on to another city, where another of his pasts awaits him, or something perhaps that had been a possible future of his and is now someone else's present. Futures not achieved are only branches of the past: dead branches.
-Journeys to relive your past?
was the Khan's question at this point, a question which could also have been formulated:
-Journeys to recover your future?
And Marco's answer was:
-Elsewhere is a negative mirror. The traveller recognizes the little that is his, discovering the much he has not had and will never have."
