The spine is also present which contains the Cd volume and the name of the band and album. The Back Cover of the album also follows the same theme of a deserted, mountainous area with the picture of the band under the song listing, comparatively the focus of the Cd cover is towards the album and not the band which is quite unconventional as only a small picture is shown, that too on the back, this shows that the band is well recognized and they do no need to show their faces in order for the audiences to recognize them because they have a strong following and audience who recognize them from their band name. The Establishing shot of the mountains and deserted area with a road in center depict the album which is "Long road out of Eden" the album name is written under the Band name and most of the emphasize is on the band name which is a way of branding the band and also since Eagles is a well recognized band so that creates more sell points. UrbanWire gives Eagles- Long Road Out Of Eden 3 out of 5 stars.The Front Cover of the album Long road out of Eden by Eagles is a plain and simple cover.Ĭonventionally the Band name is at the top and is the largest in size, the band name of eagles is usually written in Block capital letters as is also the case in the front cover of this album. This long detour from eden has shown in the less than heavenly musical fare. If you’re a die-hard fan of the Eagles, this might not be a track worth investing in, unless you just pay for selected singles. But on the whole, the album does offer soothing tracks and easy listening, and Disc 2 certainly makes up for lost ground in Disc 1. This is unfortunate since it is likely the last album that the band will ever release, according to CNN on an interview with Henley. The minuses for the album are the lack of a clear genre identity, apart from the poor quality of the CD cover. Disc 2 seems to show more evidence of planning, with unadulterated rock tracks. UrbanWire reckons this track will be a hit for the band, comparable to “Hotel California”. This is one of the few songs where you can clearly hear Henley take the lead vocals, and when you can exult in the trademark Eagles sound and guitar play. The second disc starts off with “Long Road to Eden”, an amazing track which begins with hollow sounds before breaking into melodious instrumentals. This happens again with “Fast Company”, another rock track produced by the band. Just as you might have thought that the Eagles had returned to their old classic rock genre halfway through the CD, and you remember why you bought the album in the first place, the band jumps back with a country sounding track, “No More Cloudy Days”. ![]() However, you should be warned of the uncomfortable and sudden musical shifts. The song ends with a perfect display of a soothing instrumental piece by the band which allows you to sit back and relax. “Waiting in the Weeds” starts off with the conventional playing of the guitar with the unmistakable voice of Don Henley. Besides its original style, the track is smooth and easy to listen to. Track 7 from Disc 1 is “Waiting In The Weeds”, one of the very few songs that gels with the band’s older sounds. ![]() The first disc comes with 11 tracks, and the second, 9 tracks. It would have been a better choice for the record company to release a plastic cover instead, for durability and ease of use. It’s also harder to pull the CD out, often leaving fingerprints on the underside of the album. If you’re the sort to throw around your CD cases, the album cover is definitely not the one for you. The 2-disc album comes packed in a cardboard flip-out with CDs in 2 separate slots with picturesque designs of sand dunes. Next to the iconic 1976 legendary hit, “Hotel California”, the album makes you wonder if the band has gone through a total revamp of musical identity and tastes. Their latest album lacks their original guitar playing and commanding lead vocals. It might take awhile for you to get familiarised with the tracks if you used to listen to their older albums such as One Of These Nights. The Eagles are back, or are they? The band which formed and gained prominent success in the 70s with hits like “ Life In The Fast Lane” “ The End Of The Innocence” and the Grammy Award-winning single, “ Hotel California”, have just produced and released their latest studio album, Eagles Long Road Out Of Eden, which sold more than 700,000 copies in the 1st week of release, according to CNN.Ĭharacterised for decades as a rock band, the Eagles released an album with fresh, country sounds, an unusual album from the band.

For the farmers who sign up with us, the loan application process is quite simple. We work with various financial institutions that give credit to small-scale farmers in Kenya. That’s how we ended up founding FarmDrive during our last year of university in 2014. We brainstormed about how we could use technology to solve some of the farmers’ problems we saw or experienced first-hand. We both studied computer science, but connected more because of our similar backgrounds growing up in farming communities. ![]() When I started university, I met my co-founder Peris Bosire on our first day on campus. I grew up in a farming community in Turbo, about three hundred km northwest of the capital, Nairobi, where most families grow maize. What made you venture into this technology?

One exception is the setting of the Lithuanian poem ‘Piosnka litewska’. With a posthumous opus number of 74, 17 songs date from 1829 – 1847.Įach is a setting of a Polish poem written by poets contemporary to the composer. Gladly, the trail of compositions not solely for piano does not run cold yet. Unexpected energy is released in this movement that powers the work to a G major conclusion. At times it seems as if Brahms raises his head with the abundance of hemiolas. To close, the last movement is impish, precocious, and expertly crafted. It serves as a tranquil bridge between Scherzo and Finale. The opening mirrors the first movement in D minor with the Trio in the tonic major. Next, the Scherzo jumps in with tumultuous excitement, beauty, and lyricism. It is a vital and passionate movement that I suspect Chopin had to work hard to maintain the balance between the cello and piano. There is no avoiding the sense of darkness creeping ever closer coupled with despair. The opening movement in D minor follows a sonata form structure, with the cello and piano assuming equally vital roles in this deeply troubled movement. He sketched and re-wrote large parts of this piece before he was content. As far as we can tell, this final work gave Chopin considerable trouble. The piece is formed in four movements as follows: Allegro moderato Scherzo Largo Finale: Allegro. Franchomme was, as you might expect, the solo cellist.Ĭhopin composed the Sonata (Op.65) in Paris between 18. This work was included in this performance but only in the final three movements. The last concert that Chopin gave was in Paris in 1848. It was dedicated to Auguste Franchomme and was the last composition published in his brief lifetime.įranchomme was, by all accounts, a formidable French cellist who received many awards for his outstanding contribution to music. Of these three works, it is the final one that is truly worthy of note. The pieces are Op.3 ‘Introduction and Polonaise Brillante’ in C major Op.16 (B.70), ‘Grand Duo concertant’ in E major and Op.65 ‘Cello Sonata in G minor. These spans a time frame from 1829 – 1846. Chopin composed three works for cello and piano. They are composed in a manner that matches some of the characteristics of the flute, although they seem not to have been as inspired as many of Chopin’s other pieces. Here maybe, is the margin of doubt surrounding the authorship of the work. The music is perfectly well composed but a matter of fact, even ordinary. If you’re used to the pyrotechnics and emotional depth of Chopin’s piano music, these variations will probably not impress you. Three variations are in E major, with the Piu lento written in the tonic minor (E minor). ![]() They are composed for flute and piano.įour variations follow after the opening theme marked Andantino. The approximate composition date of the set of variations is 1824. One of the first pieces I found on this modest list is titled ‘Variations in E major’ on Rossini’s ‘La Cenerentola’. Some doubt exists around one or two of these compositions as to whether Chopin genuinely composed them, but that is a rolling debate for musicologists. There are, however, several compositions that Chopin completed for other instruments. It is hardly a surprise then to realise that Chopin composed almost exclusively for the piano, an instrument with which he had a remarkable relationship. This talent was not only in composing but as a powerful, dextrous performer. What we discover even in the young Chopin is a formidable talent. If the stories are to be believed, even at this age, Chopin outstretched his teacher’s methods and developed his unique approach to the piano. Chopin, even at this age, was attempting to compose music on the piano, and at seven years old, Chopin began to study the piano more formally. ![]() In order for a blizzard warning to be issued, the following conditions need to prevail for three hours or longer: Customers can also call 1-800 EDISON1 (1-80), or report outages via the website at /report or use the ComEd app.ĬomEd warns people never to approach a downed power line and not to approach ComEd crews to ask them about restoration times as they may be working on live electrical equipment.

If the engine cranks too slow intake heaters will not help. Heated air intake systems don't effect cranking speed in the cold but do aid in lighting off the diesel. We may just have bad luck, or they may be problematic. I don't know why, but it has been my experience with the glow plug/fuel intake type heaters never seamed to work on the Perkins powered equipment we had that had that system.

There’s also the New York model where a sit down Cantonese restaurant will have behind-the-counter dim sum which you can order for takeout, but you really can’t sit down and eat it there.Īll of which makes the opening, week before last, of Sheng Hui Dim Sum in West Covina, a seemingly small, innocuous eatery, potentially more significant than one might imagine upon first glance. Yeah, there are a couple of those here in LA but most of you probably couldn’t identify them. In contrast in San Francisco there are a large number of small dim sum purveyors which stock behind the counter dim sum, which you can order for takeout or eat on premises at tables provided for your convenience. In Los Angeles, your dim sum choices are essentially to go to a dim sum palace like Sea Harbour, or find a large sit down dim sum restaurant which has a take out annex such as CBS Seafood in Chinatown. Besides falling behind San Francisco when it comes to high end dim sum, Los Angeles also trails San Francisco and New York insofar as potential dim sum sources are involved. |
