 Best
of Electronic |
PR reports: Rhino Entertainment will release
Get the Message: The Best of Electronic, highlighting the work of the seminal
post-punk super-group on September 19, 2006.
Two of the most recognizable sounds from
a pair of the most influential alternative rock bands of the '80s - the
melodic melancholy of New Order's Bernard Sumner and the sharp hooks of
The Smiths' Johnny Marr - joined together in 1990 for the single "Getting
Away With It." A Top 20 hit in the U.K. featuring guest vocalist and co-writer
Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, the song marked the beginning of a decade-long
collaboration between Sumner and Marr. Rhino Records brings together a
compilation featuring favorites selected from all three of the band's studio
albums along with alternate mixes and rarities. Get The Message: The Best
Of Electronic will be available September 19 at all retail outlets and
at www.rhino.com for a suggested retail price of $18.98. [check out the

Circle II Circle Code |
PR reports: Spain's Locomotive Records will
release worldwide the new album from Progressive/Power Metal Masters Circle
II Circle on October 10th. Burden Of Truth's captivating concept is taken
from The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and Holy Blood Holy Grail by Michael
Baigent, Richard Leight and Henry Lincoln. Both novels theorize that Jesus
Christ married Mary Magdalene, and their children's descendents prospered
in France.
This "holy bloodline" has fascinated Circle
II Circle singer/songwriter Zak Stevens for years. "Just imagine," he says,
"that through years of research tracing back through your family tree,
you uncover a secret religious society that reveals to you that you are,
in fact, one of the direct descendants of Jesus!"[see full story for more]-

| Sugarcult
Infomercial |
Fanscape reports: Known and respected as one
of the hardest working bands in the underground, they've remained untouched
by trends, never content to rest in a single genre. Sugarcult is a band
that has toured relentlessly for the past 5 years - building a dedicated
domestic and international following. Fearless/V2 released Lights Out September
12. The new version of "Do It Alone" is a clever spoof of a late night
infomercial complete with low quality chyron on grainy film in which "Sugarcult"
is the cure for geekdom. With scenes from a late 80's styled, fluorescently
lit single's scene interspersed with performance footage, the video tells
the tale of a less than cool social outcast who, in true punk spirit, finds
an unconventional way around the system to get what he wants. check it

(a startup label founded by Doghouse Records employees) will be releasing
the band's cultist and long standing out of print debut release, "Put On
Your Rosy Red Glasses". Renowned for their genre defying metallic precision

spine splintering shred sessions, mammoth break downs, and avant-garde
teeth chattering experiments at sound-barrier breaking speeds, miraculously
keeping themselves from splitting apart at the seams. -
