An old technology seems to be becoming the new thing. A while ago (almost a year, my first Aelon post ever) I wrote up an article on a variety of things peaking my interest at the moment. One of those was DVD Audio. DVD Audio (if you didn’t know) is music stored on a DVD rather than a CD. With all the extra space a DVD has the audio can be much higher quality as well as supersede Stereo sound and be full 5.1 surround sound. DVD Audio seemed like a great idea that would never catch on back then. The discs were not anymore expensive than CDs however the DVD Audio players were not as common. Usually found only in Personal Computers or high tech entertainment systems. The reason not being the DVD player itself but the set-up required to actually enjoy the media. In order to make it worth while you need to have a 5.1 surround sound system.

So I bought new speakers a while back, and meant to write an article on them. But I got busy. Damn you assignments.

After taking a sabbatical from “modern rock revival” in general as of late, with the unavoidable exception of The White Stripes and The Von Bondies finding their way into my stereo and CD player, the one week at the end of July that brought Sweden’s Sahara Hotnights and The Hives into my favourite music stores once more had me itching to give each a listen. After turning the radio dial back from the golden oldies’ station GOLD FM to the modern alternative of Triple J, I broke down and bought both albums without hearing the bulk of them previously - something I haven’t done since I got the internet.
The initial verdict, in case you’re wondering, was The Hives’ Tyrannosaurus Hives being good, and Sahara Hotnights’ Kiss & Tell being great. After after a couple of weeks doing the rounds, though, the final verdict is a bit of a switch. Where The Hives’ effort initially feels less a progression than a retread of previous sounds - or at best fulfilling expectations - the band is undeniably tighter than on previous outings.
