Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum XX (lim.ed. Red Vinyl)
Rezension
Beggars Arkive zelebriert zusammen mit der Nachlassverwaltung von Mark Lanegan das 20-jährige Jubiläum seines gefeierten Albums "Bubblegum". Am 23.08. erscheint "Bubblegum XX" als remasterte Doppel-LP des Originalalbums.
Auf Bubblegum XX sind diverse Gastmusikerinnen und -musiker zu hören, darunter Mitglieder von Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Greg Dulli sowie Izzy und Duff von Guns N" Roses bzw. Velvet Revolver. "Marks frühe Soloarbeiten sind zweifellos kraftvoll", so Josh Homme. "Sie sind düster, zerbrechlich, atemberaubend, schön und sie sind aufrichtiger als bei allen anderen."
Alle enthaltenen Aufnahmen wurden von Geoff Pesche in den Abbey Road Studios remastert.
Neben dem schwarzen und limitierten Doppel-Vinyl gibt es auch zwei auf 40 Titel erweiterte Versionen, als 3-CD oder als DeLucx 4-LP+Buch Boxset
Review
Bubblegum XX features features members of Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Greg Dulli, Izzy and Duff from Guns & Roses/Velvet Revolver, among other assorted rock luminaries. When Bubblegum was released, Mark chose to let it speak for itself and didn"t have much to say aside from within the small handful of interviews he did at the time. In 2017, he released a book of lyrics and writings called I Am The Wolf and wrote about the album then. Shared here are some of his words about the record. Song favorites include "When Your Number Isn"t Up," and "Strange Religion," a love song I wrote in a Tokyo hotel room. While many of the songs came from a place of dejection and ennui at the end of a tempestuous relationship, "Bombed" in particular came about when, after I had written and recorded it in just a few minutes, I put a microphone in front of Wendy Rae Fowler, my soon-to-be-ex-wife, and had her sing along while simultaneously hearing it for the first time. I loved the result as it reminded me of Royal Trux, a band I liked. When I insisted on using the first and only take of the song, it made her slightly unhappy, but to be fair, that was just one of many things I did that had that effect.
