:) Thank you for update. I also found this with cover feature at brain-damage, the site of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour.

Wouldn`t this be a more suitable cover to the name "Olympia"? This is more heroic, more Albert Speer, more Hugo Riefmannstahl, more F+B?

Something in the same vein!!!!!!!!!

*cough..*

http://www.magicaljourneys.com/GreekCulture/index.html

A great gesture to Greek culture, the basis of all our modern culture, especially the humanist Philosophers. Not to mention the great Stoics (my favourite branch, equal Zen).



And of course, it's also a great lady's name. :)

I reckon (due to the cover) it might point in a more feminine direction..


"Hugo Riefmannstahl"? The leader of Kraftwerks road-crew on the "Autobahn-tour"????

Jokes aside, a fine handshake to the Greek audiance as well, facing hard times, in the Island land, and cradle of European culture.

I Love it! :)

Hugo Riefmannstahl was a blind guess from the back of my mind. I guessed it was a name connected to Bryan`s Nazi accusations in the press some time ago.

Anyway, it looks like Bryan is moving in a feminine direction. The textile in the foreground looks like some party mask. Obviously this man has left the common people many years ago. It may also be a visual reminder of Bryan`s ever more fragile voice. The danger is that he will end up as a ladies` man, with a very limited appeal to us others.

How will the deluxe version be available? Are they releasing it at the same time as the other version?

Thank you for posting this information. I am looking forward to this album. I wish it was released tomorrow, but oh well...

I have a good feeling that his Lennon interpretation's gonna be a hit.

Like "Jealous Guy" became.

And this is an "up" song, I remember it gave me a good vibe when I was young.

I've heard Bryan's version of Whatever gets u through the night. It's on a bootleg called Whatever Whenever. And it's terrible.!Lennon's has so much energy. Bryans is slow and ponderous. Still worth a listen.

You will find that the version on Olympia is different to the bootlegged version same goes for any tracks on Olympia that may have been heard before either on bootleg or DJ Hell/Groove Armada.


I had never liked You Can Dance from the bootleg or Remixes but the new version has grown some balls and sounds great.
