Iron Maiden: The book of souls 2015 [Digipack / 2 CD]

Deep Purple stands alongside Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath as part of the Holy Trinity of British hard rock. The list of the band's classic songs is legion, and the influence it's had on successive generations of musicians is both enduring and remarkable. <br/><br/>The three-disc version of A FIRE IN THE SKY dives deep into Purple's past with 40 songs and includes at least one track from every studio album through Now What?!. It also provides the ultimate showcase for the group's various incarnations through the years. To date, more than a dozen musicians have appeared on a Deep Purple album.<br/><br/>Among the set's many highlights are: the title track from 2005's Rapture of the Deep; "King of Dreams" from 1990's Slaves and Masters; "Bad Attitude" from 1987's The House of Blue Light; "You Keep Me Moving" from 1975's Come Taste The Band; and "Hush" from the group's 1968 debut, Shades Of Deep Purple. This expanded version also features Kevin Shirley's 2010 remix of "Dealer," and the 2012 stereo mix for an early version of "The Bird Has Flown."

Iron Maidens dubbelalbum "The Book Of Souls" är producerat av Kevin Shirley i slutet av 2014, men de sista detaljerna spelades in 2015. Maiden beslutade sig att dröja med releasdatumet pga Bruce Dickinson, som genomgått en cancerbehandling. <br/><br/>Det fantastiska omslaget är skapat av Mark Wilkinson, som har arbetat med bandet tidigare, och eftersom detta 11-spårs-album har en totallängd på 92 minuter, blir det Iron Maiden första dubbelalbum i karriären! Albumet har en bredare ljudbild där Steve Harris står för 6 av låtarna tillsammans med gitarristerna i bandet och en helt egenskriven låt. Detta är också första gången sedan 1984-års Powerslave där Bruce Dickinson skrivit två låtar helt själv, varav en av dom är den längsta i bandets historia. Två låtar är även Dickinson / Smith-samarbeten. <br/><br/>Steve Harris kommenterar:<br/><br/>"We approached this album in a different way to how we've recorded previously. A lot of the songs were actually written while we were there in the studio and we rehearsed and recorded them straight away while they were still fresh, and I think that immediacy really shows in the songs, they have almost a live feel to them, I think. I'm very proud of The Book Of Souls, we all are, and we can't wait for our fans to hear it, and especially to take it out on the road next year!"<br/><br/>Bruce fortsätter,<br/><br/>"We're really excited about The Book Of Souls and had a fantastic time creating it. We started working on the album in late summer 2014 and recorded it at Guillame Tell Studios in Paris, where we'd done the Brave New World album back in 2000 so the studio holds special memories for all of us. We were delighted to discover the same magical vibe is still alive and very much kicking there! So we immediately felt at home and the ideas just started flowing. By the time we'd finished we all agreed that each track was such an integral part of the whole body of work that if it needed to be a double album, then double its going to be!"

En 8CD box som innehåller nästan allt som ingick i den stora Deluxeboxen som kom 2011 - det enda som inte ingår är en liveinspelning från Reading Rock. Den nya Little Box O Snakes släpps i en normalstor CD-förpackning med topplock och 8CD i cardboard wallets, och ett 16-sidigt häfte. Den innehåller 7 album och mer därtill och är väsentligt billigare än den stora boxen.
