Book Description
R.E.M., the most acclaimed American group of their generation, disbanded in September 2011 with their idealism and dignity intact. In this, the final edition of his best-selling R.E.M. biography, Tony Fletcher brings their story to a conclusion and explains what led this unique group to draw a curtain on their career. This Omnibus Enhanced digital edition of Perfect Circle includes a bonus multimedia discography charting every album and single of R.E.M’s career, presented in chronological order through audio, video and imagery. Drawing on interviews with band members, friends, associates and business partners, the book follows R.E.M.’s upward trajectory from the seminal debut Murmur in 1983 to the 1990s when their albums Out Of Time, Automatic For The People and Monster sold tens of millions, making them one of the world’s biggest groups, to their final years together. Granted access to the group throughout their career, Tony Fletcher delves beyond R.E.M.s renowned humility and social awareness, discussing fame, fortune and sexuality with the same keen eye he casts on the group’s astonishing career and musical catalogue. The result is neither blind fan worship nor jaundiced critical cynicism, but a balanced and thorough telling of one of the most compelling rock stories of our time.

Book Description
Robert Dean Lurie’s biography is the first completely researched and written since R.E.M. disbanded in 2011. It offers by far the most detailed account of their formative years—the early lives of the band members, their first encounters with one another, their legendary debut show, touring out of the back of a van, initial recordings, their shrewdly paced rise to fame. The people and places of ‘the South’ are crucial to the R.E.M. story in ways much more complex and interesting than have been presented thus far, says Lurie, who explores the myriad ways in which the band’s adopted hometown of Athens, Georgia, and the South in general, have shaped its members and the character and style of their art. The South is more than the background to this story; it plays a major role: the creative ferment that erupted in Athens and gripped many of its young inhabitants in the late 70s and early 80s drew on regional traditions of outsider art and general cultural out-thereness, and gave rise to a free-spirited music scene that produced the B-52’s and Pylon, and laid the ground for R.E.M.’s subsequent breakout success. Lurie has tracked down and interviewed numerous figures in the band’s history who were under-represented in or even absent from earlier biographies, and they contribute previously undocumented stories as well as casting a fresh light on the familiar narrative.

Book Description
Die 2. Liveplatte von R.E.M. wurde wieder im irischen Dublin aufgenommen. Im dortigen Olympia nahm die Band 2007 an 5 Abenden in einer Art öffentlicher Probe die Songs zu dem damaligen Album 'Accelerate' auf, aber auch viele ältere Songs kamen zur Aufführung. äAuch wenn das bis dato nicht veröffentlichte Material vor ausgewähltem Publikum getestet und dann eindeutig als gut befunden wird, so ist 'Live At The Olympia' viel mehr als nur Proben vor Fans. Die Doppel-CD ... dürfte selbst eingefleischte Anhänger überraschen, denn neben ungeschliffenen Versionen der Lieder von 'Accelerate' unternimmt die Band einen ausgiebigen Trip durch die eigene Geschichte. Dabei hätten sie es sich leicht machen und die grossen Hits rauspicken können, doch stattdessen spielen R.E.M. unzählige Songs der nicht minder delikaten 2. Reihe. Einige Stücke gehörten eine Ewigkeit nicht zum Live-Setä (www.amazon.de).
