It has been a few years since the last Spice Girls reunion, so it only makes sense that each of the constituent members have to find a way to make their bread and butter. What makes the most sense out of these ventures has to be what Mel B is doing. Riding on the crazy of Dance Dance Revolution types of games, ey has put eir name on “Get Fit”,…

Seven CDs worth of material is absolutely amazing, and this fact becomes more amazing when individuals realize that the quality of these recordings does not slack at any point. The main discs comprise their original albums, with a number of live or otherwise demo tracks taking residence at the end of the disc. This means that the first disc provides listeners with 2005’s compilation “The Glasgow School” while adding on…
It is always difficult to go forth and give a review to a soundtrack that I haven’t seen the movie for. However, “Babel”’s soundtrack is masterful in having listeners understand what exactly is going on during that specific track. However, there is enough variation in the disc’s 37 tracks that individuals will be able to glean a great deal of detail from each of the compositions. The movie has a…

There once was a time where linking oneself to the Daily Show meant that you had serious comedy chops. As the different elements to the show have grown up and have otherwise moved on, it seems that this claim has gradually lost its power. However, a Daily Show-laden cast for Cooper’s Christmas seems to make this the best period comedy since Hot Tub Time Machine. TDS members Samantha Bee and…
I’m not sure how many of the readers of NeuFutur actually saw Apocalypto, but the movie is Mel Gibson’s latest offering, about essentially Mayan Jesus. The soundtrack itself was composed by James Horner, who individuals may know from eir scores going all the way back to 1980, with notable soundtracks including An American Tail, Glory, Field of Dreams, Legends of the Fall, Apollo 13, and Braveheart. Hell, all those movies…
EARTH have completed their highly anticipated upcoming full-length album, which has been a subject of much discussion over the past two years. Following the band’s magnificent 2008-released The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull opus, the next chapter in the ongoing EARTH legacy is ready for public consumption. To see release via Southern Lord Recordings in February 2011, the recently completed new album has been titled Angels Of Darkness,…
This is the score for the 1957 version of “Around The World in 80 Days”. The disc was re-released on the 50th anniversary of the film being released. In the last few years, copies of the CD version of this score became increasingly hard to find, as there was only one run of the discs. This album, which became the #1 album of 1957, had to be re-released to its…
The Special Problems-directed video for the track, which sees a gang of misfits charging through the stunning natural landscape on New Zealand’s west coast, coated in a haze of digital distortion, was noticed and posted by Pitchfork, Stereogum, and even Kanye West’s now-defunct blog. Although his self-titled debut album did not see a full release last year in the US, it is now available via iTunes. ‘You’re A Animal’, the…

Despite having countless movies, music releases, and the like to their credit, Disney has a gravy train still on their hands with the Hannah Montana franchise. Who Is Hannah Montana collects a set of episodes that bridges the span between the original series (Hannah Montana) and the final season, which is slated to come out this next year. The show, rather than merely rehashing many of the trends and storylines…

Osaka Popstar is one of the few all-star bands that exist in punk rock. The band has a number of legends (members of Misfits, Black Flag, The Voidoids, and The Ramones). In this sense, the band does a number of covers, ranging from anime theme songs (Astro Boy, Sailor Moon), to classical tracks (“Man of Constant Sorrow) and punk classics (“Blank Generation”, “I Live Off of You”). This means that…

It is always sad when someone dies, and while I had no real connection to Elliot Smith’s music, I can honestly say I felt bad when ey died. We can only assume that Chistopher O’Riley felt the same way; I mean, why else devote an entire album of piano-lead instrumental covers of eir music if not for that? At some point, the emotive style of O’Riley’s composition sound like those…
There is a strong connection between an electronic and a rock style fostered during the initial offering by Voice in the Dark, “Can You Believe”. With a driving beat and compelling vocals, there is a world of wonder present here. “Stop” has a slower tempo, allowing for a different side of Voice in the Dark to be shown. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur as Sargeant, is the founder and editor-in-chief…
Coming off the heels of “From The Top,” both the first single from the Mello Music Group compilation, Helpless Dreamer, as well as Stik’s own Oddisee produced EP, From The Top, fans are treated to an in depth look at the city that Stik Figa calls home. In this mini-documentary the emcee’s lively personality shines bright through a series of personal interviews in which he touches on subjects ranging from…
This is an album of piano-led Radiohead covers; I couldn’t say I was enthusiastic about reviewing this before I stuck the disc into my player, but O’Riley turns tracks that were originally the height of pretension into nuanced and emotion-filled tracks. The impressive thing about “Hold Me To This” is O’Riley’s ability to maintain relevance over some of the longer tracks (Cuttooth, Talk Radio Host) without anything more than eir…
