MWR Charts Gossip

Vote! Vote! Vote!

So your nomination is in the Bubbly Upcomers, or maybe it’s a favourite that has been in the Top 20 Chart for some time. Now what?

Well you want to keep it there don’t you? You want to see it rise up to the No. 1 spot and get as much airplay as it can.

So go to http://www.topchoons.com/vote.html

There is a list of the top 20 Choons and then the Bubbly Upcomers, usually 20 although it depends on what mood the Junta is in that week (must remember to keep the ice cream supply topped up). Find your favourite,
click the link and there you go, one vote, done and dusted. You only get one vote, so make sure you tell everyone you can think of to vote too.

The vote page itself is fully automated and at the deadline of Thursday Midnight (UK Time) it closes and then collates the results, ready for the next evening when the Chart Show will be broadcast.

Obviously, you can’t vote for a nominated track until it has been passed by the Junta and added to the voting list – which will usually be five or ten minutes after the previous week’s chart has been announced in the Weekly Chart Show.

For all information concerning the chart contact jax@musicworldradio.com

and that, as they say, is that.

Come on Baby Do the … Nomination

Ok but the Locomotion was an unknown song once, who knows what might happen if your band or your favourite song is nominated for the Music World Radio Top 20 Alternative Chart.

Here’s how you do it. Go to http://www.topchoons.com/nominate.html and scroll down to the form.

Fill in the relevant details and upload an mp3 of the song or at least leave a url where we can download a copy from.

Hit submit and ta da! Nomination winging its way to the MWR Junta to hopefully be included in the next Bubbly Upcomers selection.

If you don’t want to use the online submission form then send all the details and mp3 by email to jax@musicworldradio.com. It will all get to the same place and the Junta will get the final decision.

Just to make things clear though, no nominations will be counted as votes, if you want the band/song to move you have to cast your vote through the vote page and get your friends, family and fans to vote too. Votes are only counted once. Attempting multiple votes will only wear out your mouse.

Music World Radio has been 3 years on air and in January 2010 created the very successful Top 20 Alternative Chart, voted for by listeners, yes 100% listener votes deciding who rises or falls.

Dan Crisp – Far from Here – New release on est 1954 records, august 2008

I have heard a few accoustic artists, some famous, others not so. This album as a very dyamic warm sound in the recording. Although a solo album there are additional musicans making it a fine listen to the ears. This is all laid back music, very lounge, from an open mic night background. Various twin channel vocals, piano, sort drums and clean, well written lyrics.

You sometimes here music like this and yes, maybe it  does get a bit tedious after a few plays, but Dan crisp has got a fine voice, that captivates you, draws you in, makes you listen, which is the entire entice of the album. It starts off with the song hollywood and if you have never heard dan crisp before, you wonder whats going to come.  Fantasic CD sleeve artwork, pictures of distance / man of his travels, which is what the album also projects, someone on a journey. Well song 10 maybe Journeys End, but thats not the end of the album, or the story and with some addition electric guitar introduction.

What makes these songs stand out is the clear sung words, the way dan projects and a fine electric accoustic, which always has a warm feel to it when you hear one or play one. If you not into this soft accoustic music, i would say try it out, because i’m not into this all the time myself and it has certain mood all the way though the album. You maybe suprised. Aside from obvious accoustic artists that makes you think when you here this, some of this recording dynamics remind me of the song angels by Robbie Williams. Simon and Garfunkle might spring to mind, but its a different tone and sound.

The last album i heard like this is the Tim Matthews album, which all accoustic, but thats i more lent towards the rock audience, this has a completely different tone. Fine work by the recording studio, its it has fresh air feel to it, besides the photos on the album, but you can easily escape just by looking at the pictures when the music is playing. You can play this though anything, but if you a hifi purist, get your jamo’s out, you can hear it a lot clearer

The album centers around folklore, urban myths and campire stories surround the mischievous spirit, Hoboud( the band name). The album, Wskrzeszenie (hobouda),   is a jounrey, kind of like the irish Clannad with the instruments played and what probably springs to mind when you do hear it. Opening sounds like something from of Devil Mat Cry game, with images of a growling monster in the rain in a little village, one thing albums miss, great openings. Great harmonies it introduces you to the sound and sets the tone.

The sounds are traditional folk music, really taking you back in time, all in Polish and some naturation between songs. Guitars, violins, the sounds of folk, great vocals and great bassline on The Forester. Even if you don’t understand the language it is fun to listen to. You can switch the lights off and the opening really does put you in the mood, in a wooden tavern with flickering lights. Electric guitar flys into The Green Meadow. Nice break in the song with like a dirty harry type running bassline undercurrent. The album weaves through traditional folk and stories in the lyrics to more modern sounds though the bassline and electric instruments. The Little Wooden Church, opens with fine femal vocals and beautiful keyboard sound. The green meadow (Zielono Lonka) the most most eclectic out of all the songs on the album.

Listening to this album really puts you in a mood, yes its not in English speak, but with the music, it is like another instrument, in a sense you could say its an instrument folk album
The lyric booklet has got the words on England and Polish. I compare this music to clannad because thats what it sounds like.  With Clannad  you have a family of musicans on the album, this is what this album sounds like. The tradition is in the booklet and does sound like something out of Resident Evil, terrorising a village, then just disappearing. I heard the band music before i got sent the albnum and i knew what the music was like, but it is different when you hear it in the context of an album. I’m not a huge folk fan, but i like the Clannad type sound, more commerical and poppy than some traditional folk and this album is like that in a few ways. 

One thing i like about the album, the nice digipack pack sleeve and lyric book, well made and very impreesive. You can request songs from the album because the album will be played on the station

A special treat for those with a passion for this weeks alternative top20 number5 Dufus and their ingenious track “Farting Without Fear”. Seth Faergolzia leadsinger of the band Dufus playing solo and live at The Junction – Bristol, England. June 29th 2008. The Film is by Iron Man Records and Musoplex, directed by Pete Rhead and Sound Recorded by Andy Ward. Enjoy Seth and his solo performance of the Dufus masterpiece Farting Without Fear:

If the wonderful performance by Seth Faergolzia has convinced you that this weeks nr5 deserves a kick in the butt or a pad on the head, hurry up and and cast your vote.

When i first heard of Peasants of Posture, it was Lamb of God and Los luminados and i did not know there was an album.  Then when i got the album thats what its sounds like.
It just a taster of the album and language that he created on the tracks above is not used all the way through, although the atmosphere from the singles, is an example if what the album is all about.

The direction here is like the Polish folk album Hoboud i reviewed, like a story being told, but this is fictional like a comic book style.  kind of simular direction to seventh son of the Seventh Son was by Iron Maiden, which was based on a comic book, but darker with the dance beat element.

The song kill the Vulcan goes rage against the machine with straight talk /rap style going on. I touch the sky is very British classic rock style, with the guitar riffs. I love great openings to songs and Slaughtered by Cattle is perfect example, a naturation then going into a great break with Counter Revolution. Maddagosontheloose and Nobodys son are the only live songs on the album, they just go into orbit, sounds like a rocket going off. Like the current single Los illuminados its a combination of industrial gothic rock with a danceflood mixture, very well produced and it does not sound commerical, like it was thrown together for the 12 year old market. This is rammstien/ Rob Zombie style rock, it is in tongue and cheek, not taken too seriously. Quincy b who is the guy behind Rasptun and the creator of the band with a full band of musicans so its not just one guy behind the name. There is a suprise at the end which is mentioned on there inner sleeve but not on the track listing

Just got to be heard and seen to be believed. This is on hard copy CD and as well download
