\u2022 In Search Of Hades: The Virgin Recordings 1973\u20131979<\/em><\/a>, is a retrospective box set comprising 16 CDs and 2 blu-ray discs devoted to the first phase of Tangerine Dream’s output on the Virgin label. For enthusiasts of the group’s Virgin recordings (myself among them) this is very welcome, especially for the albums being given the Steven Wilson remix treatment, and the wealth of rare and unreleased material. In addition to several live concerts the box will include the complete\u00a0Oedipus Tyrannus<\/em> theatre soundtrack, the overture<\/a> of which appeared on a compilation in 1975 but has since been unavailable outside bootlegs. Baroque 2<\/em><\/a> is a taster of the unheard soundtrack. The box itself will be released on 14th June. Related: Edgar Froese<\/a> interviewed on a US radio station in 1974. Among the topics of discussion are German music of the time, Tangerine Dream’s dissatisfaction with Ohr Records, and their happiness at moving to Virgin.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “As the witch-burning begins, the image gradually dissolves into a stroboscopic onslaught of neon colours accompanied by rapid, high-pitched ringing and a thundering drone.” Don’t come to Gaspar No\u00e9<\/a> for social realism. Lux Aeterna<\/em> is his new thing.<\/p>\n

\u2022 An ode to the ultimate camp film: Nathalie Atkinson<\/a> on Boom!<\/em>, Joseph Losey’s adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play, and (unsurprisingly) one of John Waters’ favourites.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdhesive,\u201d a term borrowed from phrenology, was Whitman\u2019s synonym for homosexuality. According to gay studies pioneer William A. Percy, \u201cthe term became part of the special vocabulary of the emerging homosexual subculture of the nineteenth century,\u201d which Whitman and his coterie would have understood. Despite Whitman\u2019s private vows to resist temptation, and to be more aloof, he continued to court young men until he died. One of the final photos of Whitman, taken at the Camden docks in 1890, shows the poet with his handsome male nurse Warren Fritzinger. \u201cI like to look at him\u2014he is health to look at: young, strong, lithe,\u201d Whitman told Traubel.<\/p>\n
