![]() Of course, just about everything related to Raw Power has become much more appreciated in time. Over time, Bowie's mix has come to be viewed much more favorably – mostly because the album has never sounded as good when remixes (even one by Iggy) have been attempted. Although he enlisted his pal's help, no one in or around the band were happy with the result. When the results were lackluster, Bowie was brought in to create a mix that Columbia would find suitable. Iggy took first crack at mixing the album. It's almost as if he was punishing the instrument for his switch to bass. Refusing to be relegated to the background, Asheton created the perfect complement to Williamson's barbed guitar with sledgehammer bass lines. Williamson switched out Asheton's bluesy, psychedelic sludge for a metallic knock-out that was more, well, raw and powerful. ![]() Raw Power also proved that James Williamson was a worthy – although markedly different – successor to Ron Asheton as a Stooges guitarist. Listen to the Stooges Perform 'Search and Destroy' Even the record's two ballads (a quota Columbia requested) are layered with a grimy, back-alley sleaze, proving that punk was potent at any speed. It's no wonder that future punks were taking notes. As a compromise between intention and reality, the band would be credited as Iggy and the Stooges.Ĭall the band whatever you want – these guys created the definitive blueprint for punk rock with buzz-saw guitars, breakneck rhythms, Iggy growling, “Your pretty face is going to hell”. So, what was supposed to be an Iggy Pop solo record became the third Stooges album, albeit with a bit of band member musical chairs thrown in. Scott returned to his seat behind the drums, while Ron was moved from guitar to bass. And so, they decided to reunite with original Stooges (and brothers) Scott and Ron Asheton. Iggy Pop knew he wanted the help of James Williamson – who had been added as a second guitarist in the waning days of the Stooges – on the new album, but the pair couldn't find a rhythm section in 1972 London that shared their unique view of rock and roll. The newly minted glam superstar got Pop to sign to a management contract (with the same firm that handled Bowie) and landed him a deal as a solo artist with Columbia Records. With Pop untethered to the Stooges and spiraling down the path of substance abuse, Bowie brought him to London. David Bowie was a huge fan of their first two records and discovered a kindred spirit in Iggy after meeting him in New York. Breakup and drug addiction ensued.Įnter Ziggy Stardust. A few years earlier, the band out of Ann Arbor, Mich., had recorded a pair of albums ( The Stooges and Fun House) for Elektra, but gained more notoriety than record sales. It both was and wasn't the third album by the Stooges. That’s the big one.The history behind Raw Power is a little more complicated. But Raw Power is the high-priced spread when you’re talking about the Stooges. All three Stooges albums are equal to me. We were very well rewarded for that record, later. “I had the faith that if we did our best, things would come around,” said Pop of that era of The Stooges. Soon after, Pop relocated to Berlin, Germany along with Bowie and focused on sobriety and his solo material, which resulted in his 1977 debut, The Idiot, and follow up Lust For Life. and played a series of chaotic shows before breaking up in 1974. I knew what was going to happen.”Īfter recording Raw Power, the band returned to the U.S. He added, “On top of that, we were all one step away from becoming junkies and the ones that weren’t junkies were completely out of touch with reality. I knew our management didn’t want it, I knew that radio didn’t understand it, and I knew that most people wouldn’t get it.” “I knew that there were a few malcontented, strange people out there who were actually going to like this, but there was no apparatus to gather them up. “I realized that there was almost no one in the world who wanted to save The Stooges,” said Pop.

Storage solutions are the secret to minimalist design. Her method revolves around deciding if an item brings you genuine happiness to determine whether you should keep it. If you need some inspiration, check out Marie Kondo’s TV series and books. Finally, go through each room and declutter as much as you can. Then organize things that you need to keep, like receipts and paperwork. Start by throwing away or donating items that you know you don’t need anymore. If you want to embrace minimalist design, you need to declutter. What about your drawers, cabinets, closets, and other storage spaces? What do you see? If it’s anything like most homes, there are shoes around the entryway, piles of bills in the kitchen, and random objects around the bathroom. Look around your home, from the entryway to the kitchen to the bedroom. Clear the clutterĭecluttering your space is a must if you want to introduce a minimalist design aesthetic. Whether your idea of a minimalist home has Japanese influences, Scandinavian vibes, or you just want to use it as a way of decluttering your home, these five tips will help get you there. 5 minimalist interior design tips for every home Interior designers have been using minimalist style home decor to create simple yet stylish homes for decades. The list could go on, but we think you get the idea. ![]()
![]() Such a beloved piece of music played with passion and panache meant the standing ovation from devoted fans was utterly deserved. Never the greatest of singers, his voice has dropped so many octaves that it sounds as if Johnny Cash is channelling Leonard Cohen, but the glorious melodies, limber grooves, and some lush work from a six piece string section, otherworldly theremin and beautifully conceived female backing vocals kept it all on point. There is little of the space that once facilitated listener’s own imaginative responses on the original, as Waters drives his message home again and again. Waters does like the sound of his own increasingly gravelly voice, though, talking through all the former instrumental passages. During a focused performance backed by 14 superb musicians, he dug into the much loved songs with sombre gravitas, delivering an abundance of new lyric passages emphasising core themes of life as a battle between forces of good and evil, sanity and insanity, “US and Them”. Nevertheless, Water managed to squeeze in a huge lighting rig and giant Triangular prism that dangled ominously over the front rows of the stalls. The 2,286 capacity Palladium is a very different kind of space, focussing the audience very intently on the stage, without much in the way of distracting visual extravaganza. The last time Waters played London, in June this year, it was for two nights at the 20,000 capacity O2 Arena, in a production that featured giant screens beaming brain scrambling imagery and all his usual over the top production paraphernalia including dirigible flying pigs, lasers and fireworks. This was the first of just two intimate live performances of his new album, Dark Side of the Moon Redux. But it turned out to be very much a game of two halves, that shifted from the slightly ridiculous to the utterly sublime. And had he just stuck to the business at hand, this opening night would have been an absolute triumph. Clearly if anyone has a right to revisit this music, Waters does. ![]() Released in 1973, Dark Side of the Moon is 50 years old, the fourth best selling album of all time, made by a legendary group of which Waters was bassist, lyricist, co-vocalist and principal songwriter, who has a composition credit on 8 out of 10 tracks, and is the sole writer of three. But if he genuinely wants to be Mr Pink, he’s going to have to raise his theatrical game. The old joke about Pink Floyd was “which one’s Pink?” Performing their greatest album live, Roger Waters wore a bright pink jacket, as if finally asserting that title for himself. ![]() ![]() You’ll work your traps, rear delts, rotator cuffs, and mid-back muscles as well as prevent against injuries. The move is easier to perform than pullups, and safer for your shoulder joints than many other back and shoulder options. Especially for those that do a lot of pressing-type exercises like push-ups, bench press and overhead press. Keeping these muscles strong and conditioned is extremely important. Do face pulls work shoulders or back?įace Pulls primarily work the rear deltoids (shoulders), rhomboids and the external rotators (infraspinatus and teres minor). Keep your neck and upper body still and squeeze your shoulders with each rep. You’re going to keep your knees bent slightly, bend your elbows and pull the elastic band towards you in line with your neck and shoulders. Do face pulls fix rounded shoulders?īand Face-Pull This is among the best exercises to fix rounded shoulders. ![]() Usually performed with a cable tower or bands, Cavaliere says the face pull is a “quick, easy” move that can be done every day to contribute to improved posture, healthier shoulders, and increased strength in some of the smaller, often-overlooked muscles in the upper back. Shift the pulley so that it is just above the height of your head before locking it in place. There will normally be a handle or some other mechanism on the side of the pulley rig that you can disengage and engage to adjust the height of the pulley. How high should the rope be for face pulls?Īdjust the pulley to be a little above the height of your head. They are highly effective both as a warm up and as a strength and muscle building exercise in their own right. Are face pulls effective?įace Pulls are an isolation cable (or banded) exercise that activates and improves your back and shoulders. Grab the rope attachment with an overhand grip. Practice face pulls by standing in front of a cable pulley machine. What Is the Face Pull Exercise? The face pull is an isolation exercise that activates muscles in your lower back and upper back-specifically the rear deltoids on the back of your shoulders. Additionally, the rhomboids, which allow you to pinch the shoulder blades together, and the middle trapezius (upper back) also play a role in executing this move. The rear deltoids are the primary muscles targeted in the face pull exercise. 24 Do face pulls work upper traps? What muscle does rope face pull work?

But it also gives you the privacy of no logging and the ability to use P2P torrents across all its many servers worldwide. ![]() That means you get superb security and speeds with that proprietary Catapult Hydra protocol. HotSpot Shield does it all for a reasonable price, if you go for the longer term deal. It does go on, to be totally transparent, and says there is some logging, but only for VPN sessions time and bandwidth consumed – so nothing revealing. ![]() Simply put, this means that our VPN products do not store any information about what any specific user browsed or accessed through a VPN connection." "Our VPN products do not log or otherwise record IP addresses, device identifiers, or any other form of identifier in combination with your VPN browsing activity. When it comes to logging the security continues as the company has a no logging policy that reads: That's some great automation that suggests some very high level programming, which is a reassuring result. When closing multiple local TCP connections there was no crashing or leaking of the IP, just new connections started. The app also features a kill switch to make sure you stay secure even if your connection should drop out. Testing HotSpot Shield's browser attachments and clients with IPLeak and DNSLeakTest didn't reveal any issues, meaning there should be solid snooper protection constantly. This, the company claims, has been evaluated by experts from more than 60 percent of the world's largest security companies that use the SDK to provide VPN services. The privacy of HotSpot Shield is worth mentioning since the company operates its Hydra Catapult protocol with AES-256 and AES-128 bit encryption for double 2048-bit RSA certificates. ![]() Source: Hotspot Shield (Image credit: Source: Hotspot Shield) It's also great for viewing shows and movies thanks to geo blocking evasion for the likes of Netflix, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and more. HotSpot Shield is a great option for torrenting thanks to all those P2P friendly servers. Finally there's Identity Guard, as it's known in the US, which helps protect you from identity theft protection. A robocall and spam blocker is another useful app (known as Robo Shield in the US). You also get access to a whole bunch of other apps including 1Password, for keeping your logins on all sites secure. That said, you can also set this up on a router, allowing you to have any device connected to that, hidden behind the safety of the VPN. With up to five devices available for use at the same time, there's not that many more device apps needed really. If you don't want those, then there's not much you're missing out on. That's useful but is a far cry from the many options available on lots of other VPN offerings, including console and Amazon Fire Stick apps to name a few. The VPN apps, which are available for desktop and mobile come in the forms of Windows, Mac, Android and iOS – plus there's now one for Android TV. HotSpot Shield is based in over 80 countries and 122 cities with its many servers, all of which are P2P torrent friendly. ![]() That's not the fastest we've seen it but does place it above high-end ExpressVPN at time of testing. A UK test, on a 600 Mpbs line, via a European data centre, came in at up to 210 Mbps with a low of 200 Mbps. This works internationally too, thanks to many servers dotted about the world. That puts this at double the speed of many of its competitors. In the US we tested using a 600 Mbps connection, using US servers, and found that speeds were as fast at 410 Mbps with a low of a still speedy 330 Mbps. Putting this to the test, those claims have proven to be accurate. HotSpot Shield is a very, very fast VPN thanks to the use of its own proprietary Catapult Hydra protocol. At Hotspot Shield Testing and performance Its in the box mixing sounds good, its filter sounds good, and its inputs and outputs are all there should someone want to run a Rane Serato box or simply mix on vinyl/CD/external controller. Without Traktor, the Z2’s still a good mixer. If, for instance, you’re not fussed about wet/dry levels of effects, always simply adjusting the effect directly, you could always remap those controls to effects three and four (it’s a shame that mic/aux level and tone are hardware only controls, as they tend to be my go-to knobs for a couple of extra mappings when it’s possible). There.Ī final addition to Traktor 2.6 is something that all Native Instruments gear will benefit from, and it’s the ability to override factory mapped functions to allow NI defaults and your own tweaks to play in harmony. Just as with everything else I’ve mentioned in this section, Flux isn’t confined to Kontrol Z2 users but the benefit of foresight has allowed NI to create the ergonomics of the Z2 around all these new features which makes it feel slick as… hm. This finally brings things like loop roll to Traktor, and I may just have to look into retooling an old mapping I did that approximated Itch’s Slicer mode in Traktor as Flux more or less makes it totally possible. Pioneer’s slip mode is the obvious comparison as functionality is more or less the same engaging Flux splits the playing track into two timelines, the original timeline pushing forward regardless whilst the Flux timeline is available to be manipulated freely, with things reverting to the original timeline when flux is disengaged. They’re not specific to the Kontrol Z2, but it’s the way that the Z2 mixes purely internally when in Traktor mode that makes them feel so flawless.įlux mode, akin to post fader and macro effects, isn’t so much NI pushing the envelope as implementing existing ideas from other corners of the DJ world. Post fader effects routing doesn’t really take much explaining, but I’ve been waiting for them ever since Traktor started to really show that it was where it was at for in the box DJing all those years ago and until now the lack of them has been a real thorn in its side. There’s perhaps a chicken and egg situation between this feature and the stripped back controls of the Kontrol Z2 that only NI can answer are Macro FX a way to facilitate the streamlined nature of the Z2 or is the Z2 that bit more streamlined because of the new approach? In any case, if you do have a hankering for advanced FX control then a dedicated controller (Novation’s Nocturn, perhaps) will fit into the Z2 workflow perfectly. I’m really happy to cosign this move away from complicated mappings for multi effects (which tend to either require external translator software to be really powerful anyway) and multiple knobs that do confusingly different things, as I think that it will hammer home to more DJs that a little goes a long way and neither mapping the living daylights out of a controller nor constantly tearing a track apart with eight effects does a DJ make. You don’t have to use Macro FX, of course, but they’re a great way of making sure that when you are using effects in the mix that they remain interesting whilst removing a bunch of knobs from the fascia of the mixer. It’s disappointing that there’s no way to manually create your own Macro FX (we do hear whispers of something along these lines in the future) but the 11 included all sound great. ![]() Macro FX are very similar to super knobs, as seen in Serato’s Scratch Live, in that they are single dial controls that do lots of things at once. None of them are specific to the Kontrol Z2, but without them it would be nowhere near the beast it is. The additions in Traktor 2.6 compared to the ones introduced in 2.5 don’t have the POW factor of an entire new deck concept, but there are three very important ones: Flux mode, post fader effects routing, and the new Macro FX. ![]() ![]() Just like the Kontrol F1, The Kontrol Z2 doesn’t tout features so much as control for new features in Traktor. |
