The Velvet Underground Strived for Hits on “Loaded”

Jan 6, 2025 | trackingangle.com | Dylan Peggin

Analogue Productions’ reissue is "loaded" with sonic sweetnessOf all the '60s era artists that expanded their craft to unfathomable heights, The Velvet Underground was arguably the most adventurous. Few if any other contemporaries sought to work in unorthodox approaches to both instrumentation (drones, detuned guitars, and distortion) and subject matter (drug use, S&M, and prostitution).
Analogue Productions Serves a "Smokin'" Piece of Humble Pie!

Dec 21, 2024 | trackingangle.com | Dylan Peggin

A long out-of-print audiophile reissue gets repressedWhether the members of Cream were considered “cream of the crop” players or ELP debuting before a crowd of 600,000 at the Isle of Wight, supergroups became a hot-button commodity that granted success in the late 1960s. Although Humble Pie may have included members of Small Faces, The Herd, Spooky Tooth, and the Apostolic Intervention, they were keen to distance themselves from any preconceived connotations by the music press.
Dream Theater Flaunts Technical Prowess on “Vol. 1”

Oct 5, 2024 | trackingangle.com | Dylan Peggin

Rhino reissues the first installment of the prog metal giants’ discographyThough progressive rock peaked in the 1970s, next gen prog bands continued exploring adventurous compositional directions.

Because Sound Matters - Hear Linkin Park As Never Before

WMG taps into the audiophile marketOne-step vinyl pressings continue to fixate both self-described audiophiles and the uninitiated who are curious about the wonders of great sound. These pressings eliminate two of the three steps in traditional vinyl manufacturing (creating the father and mother), thus bringing out more detail from the source material and less surface noise. Audiophiles tend to agree that the results are sonically worth the added cost.
David Bowie Made The Transformation as a “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star!”

Jun 14, 2024 | trackingangle.com | Dylan Peggin

Box set documents his most legendary periodUntil 1972, David Robert Jones’ career was a classic case of trial and flaw. After fronting various R&B groups in the mid-1960s with no success and avoiding confusion with the Monkees’ Davy Jones, he changed his last name to Bowie and embarked on a career under his new name. Testing various musical grounds to see what worked, his early output ranged from a music hall-tinged eponymous debut album to a novelty single about a laughing gnome.
Bad Company at 45RPM is Good Company

Mar 11, 2024 | trackingangle.com | Ron Nevison |Dylan Peggin

Analogue Productions revisits the supergroup’s debutThe term “supergroup” heralds a level of heightened pressure and expectation. If bands like Cream, Blind Faith, or Emerson Lake & Palmer had instant success granted to them, Bad Company found themselves in good company. The group formed from the ashes of three of England’s beloved groups: Free, Mott The Hoople, and King Crimson.
40 Years On, Ozzy Osbourne Continues to “Bark at the Moon”

Reissues from The Prince of Darkness are slowly drippingTransitioning from the ‘70s to the ‘80s wasn’t easy for Ozzy Osbourne. The Birmingham-born vocalist found himself without a band when the members of Black Sabbath ousted him due to his heightened substance issues. Stuck in a drug-and-booze haze for three months at a Los Angeles hotel, salvation came in the form of his manager and future wife, Sharon Arden, who encouraged Osbourne to pursue a solo career.
