New Model Army for the first time?
Se você se interessou o suficiente para estar aqui, vai minha percepção do que são os 30 anos desta banda para quem precisa de uma introdução rápida. O resto seguirá em inglês, pois fundamental para fruir mais plenamente vários aspectos da coisa toda. Então, cheers!
So, this April, I, we shall celebrate loads of beautiful things. Lives and Deaths... Many important anniversaries and for a 2010, the Special 30th´s soon to happen. Because I realize there will be yet another brave to end up here asking what the hell NMA is all about, I try to summarize below some paths to make the process of belief (yeah, it´s an artist that worths your time) faster and hopefully, truly convincing. There is no "guide for the dummies" type of thing here. It´s just an initiative that perhaps will fulfill your days with some of the best wishes.
step 1. which one do you like better?
1a)Music played @ a gig alive or...
1a1) if myspace go here http://www.myspace.com/meandersmuziekmondo
1a2) if you tube go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzjHbbXH2XE&feature=related
1a3) extra task: this version of Vagabonds
1b)...original from studio recordings?
1b1) if myspace go http://www.myspace.com/newmodelarmymyspace double click in "videos" tab inside the music table.
1b2) if you tube, still go http://www.myspace.com/meanders, down on the left, there is "television" and 51st State
Ok, from now on is up to you. There are near or already over 2 hundreds of NMA´s pieces you can try. Choose yours by the title/lyrics as you please.
step2. a sample of song names to associate with New Model Army, no matter your mood, let them leave a mark in your soul.
2a) If you wanna higher pace and feel full of energy look for: Here Comes the War, Get me Out, Today is a Good Day, Wonderful Way to Go, Orange Tree Road, Brother, No Rest for the Wicked (before any Ozzy Osbourne idea), The Hunt (covered by Sepultura), Flying through the Smoke, 225;
2b) to take it easier, but just a bit, nothing is that easy coming from NMA: Purity, Stupid Questions, White Coats, Heroes, Ballad of Bodmin Pill, Long Goodbye, Ocean Rising, Vagabonds;
2c) and to leave you with some ballads, some acoustical ones (way before those Unplugged stuffs by MTV): 11 Years, Better than Them, A Liberal Education, Changing of the Lights, Tales of the Road, Sooner or Later, 51st State, Green & Grey
