Many of the professionals that are currently making large decisions for companies grew up on Lunchables. If they have not, there is a good chance that they have had to deal with airline food. GoPicnic is a company that looks to sate both sets of individuals. By making a wide array of different meals, the company is able to give those too busy for a proper meal something that is…
The amount of care that MGM put into this version of Sid & Nancy makes it into one of the best Collector’s Editions / reissues that we have reviewed for NeuFutur. The grim, gritty feeling of the movie is restored to its original film quality, while the soundtrack feels much more visceral and in your face than it did on either VHS or DVD formats of the film. For individuals…

Fans of Total Babe will likely know about guitarist Gatesmith’s new act, Howler. However, I feel that Howler as a whole surpasses in quality Total Babe, while breaking eirself free of the former trappings. America Give Up is one of the first good albums of 2012, and it is due to this free and expansive sound. The album opens up with Beach Sluts, a track that will immediately introducer listeners…
The indie rock four-piece, known as Asleep, have released their new album Unpleasant Companion today, February 7th. The album was recorded in four days to capture a live dynamic onto 16-track 2-inch analog tape with legendary Chicago engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey, Page and Plant, Iggy Pop and the Stooges). The result was a raw and powerful rock sound that will put the listener right inside their live…
The love story is one of the oldest stories that we have archived. It plays to the most common emotions that individuals have, and in cinema, it is an easy film to make. However, this does not mean that love films are always good. The Chateau Meroux is good, and will have viewers eagerly anticipating what happens to Marla Sokoloff’s main character. This character is given a vineyard by eir…
We have reviewed a number of Lamb of God albums on NeuFutur. In the same vein, we have given extensive coverage to the various types of metal. The one thing that we have noticed over the last 13 years of covering these acts is that metal seems particularly prone for bands to come forth with an unique sound and then run it into the ground. Lamb of God is one…

The Western as a genre has never recovered from the precipitous decline experienced by the seventies and eighties. I believe that most of the viewing audience has been burnt by films in the genre, which tend to be rote recreations of better titles. Blackthorn, starring Sam Shepard, Stephen Rea, and Eduardo Noreiga, is one of the films that looks to restore the Western to its former glory. The title focuses…
Violinist Daniel Hope rejoins his friends at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center to perform “A Celebration of Joseph Joachim” on February 12 at Alice Tully Hall. Mirroring his acclaimed Deutsche Grammophon album of the same name, the program will present both rare and familiar works associated with Joachim, the great 19th-century virtuoso violinist-composer who was friend and collaborator to Brahms, Schumann, Dvořák, and Bruch. In March and April,…
The brutality of Haemorrhage’s Hospital Carnage is unparalleled. The presence of cuts like Fomite Fetish and 911 show that the language of metal is world-wide. The band is able to establish their own unique style of metal by taking bits and pieces from some of the biggest acts (Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Anthrax) and inserting their own flavor and flair. The band flips the album format on its head. Rather than…
We’re so excited to announce the US Revival Tour 2012! “The most unique element of The Revival Tour is the camaraderie that it’s based on and the collaborations that are bred from that essence,” explains Americana singer/songwriter and original tour organizer Chuck Ragan.

This is not a tribute. Rather, the work done by Corea, Gomez, and Motian in invigorating Bill Evans’ work should be seen as a completely new album. Fans of Evans will appreciate the sheer amount of work the trio have done on singles like Hot House and Off The Cuff. This is because they have fully deconstructed each of Evans efforts down to the constituent elements; the rebuilding that they…
