The Darkness of a Fairy Tale is the debut album from Greek composer and saxophonist Konstantinos Papachristou, and describes the journey of a man who receives the “wake-up call" and begins his own inner search for the meaning of life. Konstantinos composed a thematic album of modern jazz music that gains a dark programmatic mood, which motivates the listener to dive deep into his senses. Orchestration preserves Jazz's classical raw sound, while instruments such as bass, piano and drums are ...

By Mark Saleski Clearly I have been spending an awful lot of time with Darkness on the Edge of Town this week. Too much time maybe? What does that mean? It's an interesting question and, as it turns out, it doesn't have meaning...at least not for me. Last weekend, me and TheWife were out running our usual errands with Darkness playing on the car stereo. We were talking about how strange it was to hear the not-quite-finished versions of some ...

By Mark Saleski It is perhaps too easy to dismiss the work of celebrities. In the case of Bruce Springsteen, there has been much vitriol expressed over his “supposed" blue collar leanings, as if success can (no...must) wipe out your roots. If you look back at this documentary on the making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, you can see that Springsteen is in many ways reacting to his own fame, wondering what exactly it's all about, and trying ...

Bruce Springsteen: The Promise: Darkness on the Edge of Town Remastered (1978)

November 16, 2010

By Mark Saleski This world of digital sound can be quite tricky. The original line about CDs was that they would provide “perfect sound forever." Yeah, sure. In their haste to get product to market, the early mastering jobs produced less than stellar results. In the intervening years, we've learned a lot about this process, although the “loudness wars" have stepped in to muddy the waters. That's why I often cringe when seeing the word “remaster" next to an album ...

By Mark Saleski Springsteen fans have been waiting years for the 30th anniversary release of Darkness On The Edge Of Town. Waiting, and waiting, and... And then the anniversary passed, with rumours and speculation fueled by smokes signals emanating from Camp Springsteen about how the set was “nearly complete." Of course, since these smoke signals never quite spelled out what was to be in this anniversary set, there was a lot of grumbling from the fan base. No full show? ...
