The "Rock en Espanol" dance band Heroes del Silencio was formed in Zaragoza, Spain during the mid-'80s. Comprised of singer/guitarist Enrique Bunbury, lead guitarist Juan Valdivia, second guitarist Alan Boguslavsky, bassist Joaquin Cardiel and drummer Pedro Andreu, Heroes del Silencio quickly gained a ardent local following; among their fans was Ole Ole member Gustava Montesano, wHO helped the group succeed a contract with EMI. In late 1987 they issued their debut EP, Heroes de Legenda; it was well standard by both critics and audiences, and their 1989 uncut exploit El Mar No Cesa went platinum inside weeks of its button. 1990's Senderos de Traicion immediately topped the Spanish charts, and in 1991 Heroes del Silencio appeared at the "Rock Against Racism" festival in Berlin, resulting in tremendous popularity throughout Germany as well. 1993's El Espiritu del Vino was some other smash, and in 1995 the group travelled to Los Angeles to record Avalancha with noted producer Bob Ezrin. The double hot LP Para Siempre followed in 1996, and in 1998 Heroes del Silencio returned with Rarezas, a aggregation of rare and unreleased tracks.

Alex Chilton's Lost Decade (CD1)
Year: 2004
Tracks: 8
In a business enterprise that reinvents itself at every turn, Alex Chilton has managed to live for three decades with a treble career as intimately -- his early recordings with the Box Tops, the trey albums he did with Big Star in the mid-'70s and the surge of cool, but chaotic, solo albums he's recorded since then. To some, he's a classic hit-maker from the '60s. To others, he's a genius British-style pop musician and songster. To so far some other audience, he's a unredeemed and desperate artist world Health Organization spent several years battling the bottle, delivering anarchistic records and performances spell thumbing his nose at all pretenses of stardom, a way-out iconoclast whose influence has spawned the likes of the Replacements and Teenage Fanclub.
For a guy wHO grew up in and around Memphis, in that respect isn't anything remotely Southern about Alex Chilton. Although amply aware of his environment and in tune spiritually with its most lunatic fringe aspects, Alex Chilton's South has more to do with cultured Southern intellectualisms than rednecks.
Chilton started playing music in local Memphis senior high combos, alternating between basso and rhythm guitar with a err vocal thrown in, at last working himself up to professional status with a mathematical group called the DeVilles. After acquiring a coach with recording connections trussed to Memphis hitmakers Chips Moman and Dan Penn, Alex and the radical -- new renamed the Box Tops -- recorded "The Letter," a record book that sounded White enough to go number one on the pop charts and yet Black enough to data track on R&B stations, also. Chilton was still in his teens, simply armed with a strong innovation of how crop up and R&B vocals should be handled. With the hand of vocal coach Dan Penn firmly in piazza, the hits unbroken advent, with "Cry like a Baby," "Psyche Deep" and "Sweet-smelling Cream Ladies" all showing visible graph action. The Box Tops were stars by AM wireless singles standards, simply tours in general opened Chilton's eyes to the world and what it had to volunteer. And what that globe seemed to offer to Alex was a portion more artistic exemption than he had as token drawing card of the Box Tops.
After a few errant solo roger Sessions, Chilton found himself in Big Star with singer/guitarist Chris Bell. Their blending of ethereal harmonies, kinky lyrics and Beatlesque song dynasty structure appeared to be radio-friendly, simply distribution for their label, Ardent Records, spelled disaster. With Bell gone and the label literally dangling on by a wander, Chilton went into the studio with producer Jim Dickinson and attempted to set together the third base Big Star album. These roger Huntington Sessions, now known as Sister Lovers, ar legendary in some living quarters. So much has been read into this recording, primarily the myth that Chilton became a pop creative person world Health Organization, in the face of critical succeeder but commercial apathy, suddenly rebelled against the system and became a "fated creative person on a collision course to Hell." Chilton himself dismisses all such romantic notions: "I mean that to say that it's a fairly druggy form of album that is the work of a disconnected person trying to find himself or find his creative direction is a honest statement about the thing."
Around 1976, Chilton started producing a wild cross section of solo outings for several strange and American independent labels, all featuring his love for isolated material, barbwire guitar playing, howling feedback and bands world Health Organization sounded barely familiar with the substantial. Plugging into the bohemian punk rock scenery of New York City, Chilton's lawless advance and attitude match the scene like a baseball mitt. In plus to his gigging and playing agenda, Alex besides produced the debut session by the Cramps, serving to realm their deal with I.R.S. Records. Chilton was getting legendary enough to end up having a song by the Replacements named after him. Through the late '80s into the early '90s, Alex split his time between recording, gigging overseas plugging his a la mode release and playing oldies shows in the U.S., reprising his older Box Tops hits. In the early '90s, Chilton -- resettled to New Orleans, his demons behind him -- began releasing a series of excellent solo albums on the new revived Ardent label and level participated in a couple of Big Star "reunions."
Pangea Day joins audiences around the world
There was a message in the drumbeats. The final moments of the first international Pangea Day event on Saturday were big on symbolism, as seven drummers of varied cultures were linked via satellite from Stage 15 at Sony Studios to an international drum circle scattered across the planet.
There were drummers from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and elsewhere, all beating as one during a worldwide broadcast designed to encourage peace and understanding. Pangea Day was a four-hour program of short films, live music and brief messages of hope, humor and sadness, named for the prehistoric super-continent.
"By sharing stories, we have begun the process of turning strangers into friends," filmmaker Jehane Noujaim told the U.S. studio audience in Culver City on the same soundstage where Dorothy and Toto once danced down the Yellow Brick Road. Noujaim had conceived of the idea of a multinational film festival broadcast, and it was supported through a prize from the annual TED Conference, a gathering of creative thinkers in science and culture.
The emphasis was on storytelling. The first film, "The Ball" from Mozambique, was a lighthearted short piece about African children building a soccer ball out of an inflated condom and yarn, while making a subtle message about sexually transmitted disease. It was followed by a film from Los Angeles, "A Thousand Words" by Ted Chung, which suggested the power of snapshots discovered on a found digital camera. Other films offered vivid scenes of sadness and contemplation, of joy and tragedy: a lonely French woman on the Metro, children at a Chad refugee camp. In "Walleyball" by Brent Hoff, Mexicans and Americans played an international game of volleyball by using the border fence as a net.
Worldwide
Sitting in the Culver City audience was film producer Lawrence Bender, whose "An Inconvenient Truth" had its own global reach.
"It sounds a little airy-fairy, but the world is such a tough place right now," said Bender, a TED Conference regular and a Pangea Day advisor. "We kind of need something like this event."
The program was broadcast in seven languages. The live audience at Sony was about 1,200, joining crowds of 2,000 each in London, Rio de Janeiro, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Mumbai, India, and Kigali, Rwanda, with smaller gatherings in other cities. At Sony, there were big video screens and a news ticker that listed a roll call of the cities and small towns participating (Each of the films and a one-hour highlight show was put up on the web at pangeaday.org right after the broadcast.)
Actress and Pangea presenter Cameron Diaz, in her dressing room after presenting an animated, environmentally themed short, said she hoped the event's message would spread.
"Hopefully, all the people watching from different locations will see how they're connected," she said. "We're not separate. There's nothing that happens on this planet that doesn't affect all of us. Our choices every day will affect somebody on the other side of the world."
A communal feeling was the goal. In Los Angeles, hosts asked audience members to shake the hand of the person next to them. Among the presenters was Queen Noor of Jordan, who said, "We must learn from each other's stories."
Among the most surprising and uplifting films was about the "laughter clubs" of India, headed by Dr. Madan Kataria, who hopes to establish 1 million of these clubs across the world. On Saturday, he and actress Goldie Hawn led the audience in several moments of roaring laughter across the planet. "When you laugh, you change," Kataria told the crowd. "And when you change, the whole world changes around you."
The central focus of the broadcast was the power of film to communicate beyond borders and misunderstanding, but live music also played a meaningful role.
In Brazil, musician and activist Gilberto Gil stood alone with a guitar, as many on Stage 15 and elsewhere clapped and sang along. Rokia Traore of Mali performed her gentle, lilting vocals from London, accompanied by cascading harp melodies.
In harmony
At Sony, there was the modern riff-rock of Hypernova, a Los Angeles-based act of Iranian rockers. And later, Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart led a large band through a pair of songs. He was joined by hip-hop singer Nadirah X, whose urgent words of dissatisfaction were set against Stewart's guitar and a string section.
When it was finally over, Noujaim looked ecstatic and a little drained as she hugged friends and collaborators. TED curator and key Pangea organizer Chris Anderson admitted to tears as he watched the worldwide drum circle. World peace was still out of reach, but they expected to be back with another Pangea Day in two more years.
