Michael Kiske新專輯新聞~
as title....
Frontiers Records will release the new solo album from former HELLOWEEN
singer Michael Kiske, entitled "Past In Different Ways", on May 9.
This much-talked-about CD includes acoustic and stripped down reworked
versions of some of HELLOWEEN's classics that Kiske wrote and recorded in his
early days with the legendary German heavy metal band.
"When Serafino Perugino brought up the idea to do this record," says Michael,
"my first reaction was, 'No way! I don't want to be dealing with my past all
the time anymore!' But after a few days my thinking changed and I thought,
'Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all.' Because on one hand it shows that
I don't reject my past just because I'm a different person today and on the
other hand it can maybe give people who were part of that past a different
view at those songs. It's my music, I can still identify myself with its
spirit, so why should I not do this?"
Working in a creatively free environment helped Michael to look at his past
with different eyes and brought the idea of working again on the songs that
Michael wrote for HELLOWEEN during his years with the band. The result is
"Past In Different Ways", a record which includes brand new recordings of
Kiske's songs taken off the two "Keeper" albums, "Chameleon" and "Pink
Bubbles Go Ape", plus the brand new song "Different Ways".
The unconventional arrangements of many of the tracks will surprise and
delight many of his fans and more surprising is to see how well these songs
sound with a basic acoustic arrangement, without the "useless weight" and
with new keys. "Songs like 'In The Night' or 'When The Sinner', which were
never favourites of mine, are much cooler and much more convincing now for my
ears," says Michael.
The album was recorded and mixed in Hamburg under Michael Kiske's direction
and features longtime collaborators such as Sandro Giampietro on guitar,
Fontaine Burnett on bass and Karsten Nagel on drums.
Kiske concludes: "It was not always easy for me emotionally to deal with this
material. Music somehow seems to preserve emotional memories and I connect
big human disappointments with the last years of that time. There's also
something very unsatisfying about re-recording old songs; it's always MUCH
better to write new stuff, but I wanted to make those songs mine again. And
in spite of the fact that I strongly felt for the last couple of years that I
rather have to build myself a new base of friends, it's always good to make
peace with your past."

非常有意思。
Michael Kiske的新專輯在5/9要發行。
前面十首是他以前在Helloween寫的歌曲。
第一十一首是新歌。
全部重新錄製，他也提到了他的看法。
也祝福他了。
