Jane’s Addiction and NeuFutur Magazine have set up a contest in which one lucky NeuFutur reader can win vinyl copies of Jane’s Addiction’s albums “Ritual de lo Habitual” and “Nothing’s Shocking”. This contest will end 4/30, and all readers need to do is send an email to neufutur@gmail.com with “Jane’s Addiction Contest” in the Subject header.
It makes sense that Sony would re-release what Beth Orton feels is eir “true†solo album. The disc itself includes a great deal above and beyond what has been present on previous releases of the album, with a second disc adding most of the additional material. Of course, the liner notes are an added expansion to the original, but the second CD is where the gold truly is. This means…
This is the first time that we have had the chance to review a Celebrity Video Distribution title, and I have to say that we here at NeuFutur have missed some talent by this exclusion. The Dead Don’t Scream has an excellent print, providing sharp video married right alongside audio that is easily equivalent to that of the movie theatres. The film goes into the tired horror genre and makes…
There have been very few in the way of flavored spirits that I have actually enjoyed, and Orange V is one of the few that I could honestly see myself purchasing in the next few years. As individuals may be able to understand from the title, Orange V is an orange flavored vodka. Unlike many other flavored spirits, the alcohol percentage (38%) is pretty much the same compared to a…
When Pearl Jam came out with Ten, their debut in 1992, it was obvious from the first couple of songs that the record was much more than just a musical footnote for the band and the grunge movement, but a classic album destined to be passed on to the next generation. Rolled out just as the media was starting to pick up on the Seattle sound and exploit it to…
With “Tough Loveâ€, Gala is poised to make her presence felt in 2009. Despite having a number of hits on the world stage in the past, the tracks on “Tough Love†may just be the most memorable of her career. “Tough Love†begins strongly, a track in “Tough Love†that immediately re-establishes Gala as the queen of her own domain. The title effort from “Tough Love†shows a blending of…
Maybe some year I will get caught up with the Steve Lieberman discography, but as of this review I’m still a disc behind. The best thing that is present on the CD from a cursory glance would have to be the description of Lieberman’s moods during the different part of the CDs; with this mentioned, I can start to tune in a little more specifically about what specifically I like…
Colorado power-pop trio Single File may have just dropped their debut full-length, Common Struggles, on the world but that doesn’t mean the band is ready to stop delivering the goods.
“Can’t Help But Shine†is the first single for Foster McGinty off his new album “Peach Redâ€, and it is a hell of a single. For those that have not had the chance to listen to McGinty in the past, the style of “Peach Red†blends together seventies rock, funk, and soul into something that draws on an earlier tradition but is decidedly rooted in the present. “Can’t Help But…
Jazz as a genre seems to have fallen into a rut over the last twenty years; where the genre was really popping with the more experimental work of a Chick Corea or a Weather Report, it gradually cooled down during the eighties and nineties. SamPa’s unique blend of musical styles, which includes jazz, blues, salsa, and even rock at the periphery, is the thing that jazz needs to really let…
As someone that was a Latin major (and did a lot with Roman history), the first thing that really speaks to me is that the modeling of Rome is absolutely beautiful. While individuals will not completely know what Rome looked like over 1500 years after the empire declined into obsolescence, I have a feeling that Viva really did their homework when it come to Grand Ages: Rome. The game itself…
Monsters Vs. Aliens is one of the biggest titles to be released this year so far, and it is not surprising that a video game would be created for the title. Activision was tapped to create the game, which gives players the opportunity to play as some of the biggest characters in the game. This means that there are different levels that players can take on the role of Ginormica,…
TrackMania DS will be familiar to those that have played the PC franchise in the past. The inclusion of the stylus and the DS’s unique skill set ensures that the title will be substantially different than any other iterations of the game. So, at the very least, TrackMania DS is no mere port. For those that are not familiar with the title, what players are tapped to do is ensure…
Strategy games (especially those dealing with war) are finally on the uptick after the days when it seemed like Command and Conquer was the end-all, be-all of the genre. Atari picked up this title from EA, and the revamp in terms of graphical quality, game play, and overall experience from previous iterations in the line is immediately noticeable. The great thing about Codename Panzers: Cold War is the ability for…
Where X Blades may only get a single rack at your local game store where titles like Madden 2009 get five or six, there is no doubt in my mind that the experience that any gamer will get from this title far outstrips even the biggest games on the market. This is due to the fact that South Peak (and Gaijin Entertainment) have made an extremely addictive game that gives…
Household sims are the next big thing in gaming, and Gardening Mama (the latest in the Mama line) attempts to provide players with a fully immersing experience. The graphics are still the same iconic, cartoony style that are easy to recognize, while Majesco has ensured that players will be able to easily pick up the title without much in the way of attenuation to the control scheme. Despite the break…
If the characters on the front of Major Minor’s Majestic March look familiar in any way, that is due to the fact that the group that was behind the classic PaRappa the Rapper franchise (Rodney Greenblat and Masaya Matsuura) has joined up to make a music game for the Nintendo Wii. This Majesco title turns the Wii Remote as a music director’s baton, which is then used to keep all…
For about the last twenty years or so, I have kept my ear to the ground regarding wrestling games. Naturally, I was excited when I first heard that THQ was going to release WWE’s Legends of Wrestlemania for the next gen consoles. The game differentiates itself from other wrestling-based offerings in terms of the ease of game play, the evolution in game graphics, and the timelessness of the characters that…
There have been few ways that I can recall that allows video game players to recreate the experience of an amusement park aside from simulations like Rollercoaster Tycoon. Six Flags Fun Park is the first game that I can recall that does just that, and benefits from the Wii’s unique control scheme to make a game that is truly lasting in magnitude.
Paramount has taken the rug out from a number of the shady fly by night video distributors and eBay markup-artists with their Centennial Collection. The collection itself captures a number of old films (Sunset Boulevard, Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany’s) that may have been originally placed on DVD with little or no extras, poor audio or video transfers, or had their limited DVD runs sell out and places a number of…
