Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos has revealed the band's new influences.

He was speaking to Xfm.co.uk ahead of the band's performance at the Royal Albert Hall in support of the Teenage Cancer Trust last night.

Kapranos said: "I've been listening to a lot of Dylan recently. I'm getting really into "Highway 61". It's so good. That's influencing more my lyrical style, than anything. I don't think we'll end up sounding like Dylan... but I just love the rhythm of his lyrics... and listening to people who are adventurous with the rhythm of their words. Bowie too... a bit of the old glam stuff, but also "Low", "Station to Station" and "Heroes" they're so radical and so adventurous and very inspirational. They were massively experimental and went to places where music had never gone before and yet it still sounded like pop music... and you could hum it straight away."

He added that the band is working with producer Rich Costey and "sitting around playing a lot of records, talking about music and things that excite us and experimenting."

Franz Ferdinand played four new tracks in their set, "Your Diary", "This Boy", "Wee Andy" and "Evil Heathen".

09 Apr 2005 - R??yksopp new album

Norwegian dance duo Röyksopp have revealed details of the follow-up to their million-selling debut album "Melody AM". Titled "The Understanding", the album will be released on June 27th and preceded by a single "Only This Moment" on June 13th.

In a statement reported by Music Week, the duo claimed that their new sound was more melodious than their past work. In full, this read: "This is definitely a sound which for us is more looking towards the future, than being as reminiscent of the past as our last album was. We always feel we have to move on and venture into things we really haven't done before.
Even though the last one was called "Melody AM", this one is even more about melody."

The full tracklisting for "The Understanding" is as follows:

"Triumphant"
"Only This Moment"
"49 Percent"
"Boys"
"Follow My Ruin"
"Beautiful Day"
"What Else Is There?"
"Circuit Breaker"
"Alpha Male"
"Someone Like You"
"Dead To The World"

Depeche Mode are currently in Santa Barbara, California recording their first studio album since 2001's, 'Exciter', due for release this Autumn.
 
2004 ended on a high for Depeche Mode, generated largely by the success of their remix album, 'Depeche Mode Remixes 81-04' which sold over 1 million copies worldwide and produced the top 10 single, 'Enjoy The Silence' remixed by Mike Shinoda.
 
The new album is being co-produced by Depeche Mode and Ben Hillier, whose credits include Elbow's 'Cast Of Thousands' album, the current acclaimed Doves release, 'Some Cities' and Blur's classic, 'Think Tank'.
 
"It's a great feeling to be back together in the studio again and we are very excited about the new material", says Dave Gahan. "We are all feeling incredibly positive about the album. Ben Hillier has brought a whole new dynamic to the group which is quite inspiring."
