Good Night, and Good Movie

Good Night, and Good Luck 2005 Five stars I waited a long time to watch this movie because I knew it would make me angry. I was a journalism major in college and thought I would work in newspapers all my life, but I got disenchanted pretty quickly (don’t we all?) because of the lack…

Diary of Dreams (Rock Island, Denver, Colorado – July 2, 2006)

My rating: 5 out of 5


Diary of Dreams

Live @ Rock Island, Denver, Colorado on 7/1/06
http://www.diaryofdreams.de/

One of the first stopoffs on their first American tour, the incredible goth-rock, industrial, and darkwave band “Diary of Dreams” performed at one of Denver’s gothic-industrial hotspots Rock Island. While certainly under-attended for a band as great as “Diary of Dreams” … the place still rocked with primarily standing and several rows of dancing audience fans … Diary of Dreams enchanted us to a blissful state of trance n’ dance. Diary of Dreams started out as a guitar-heavy project without use of synthesizers by the performer Adrian Hates rising with symphonies of Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi as inspirations from his childhood – through the years clarity evolved – by age 21 Adrien was inspired by piano, and merging his guitar with piano, started to write whatever discommoded him, put his thoughts and feelings into his music; and by 1989 created the band with no keyboards using guitars, bass, drums, and vocal still with a heavy influence on classical guitar creating a style he called “anarchistic” with a liability to perfectionism and self-creativity. Producing several CDs/albums through the years, they soon found fame throughout the Goth world: 2005 MenschFeind (Mini-Album); 2004 Nigredo; 2004 Giftraum (MCD); 2003 Dream Collector; 2002 PaniK Manifesto (Mini-Album); 2002 Freak Perfume; 2002 Amok (MCD); 2001 O’ Brother Sleep (MCD); 2000 One Of 18 Angels; 1999 Moments Of Bloom; 1999 Cholymelan (Re-Release with 4 Bonus-Tracks); 1998 Psychoma? ; 1997 Bird Without Wings; 1996 End Of Flowers; 1994 Cholymelan.
