British dance titans ORBITAL today announce their return to Australia where they will be bringing their legendary live show for four shows in early May.

Having been making groundbreaking new electronic music since their inception almost 25 years ago, Orbital’s status as one of the most globally influential acts of all time was recognised when they were included in the top 10 of a recent poll by Mixmag on the ‘Greatest Dance Acts of All Time’. This Australian tour comes just days after the announcement of a brand new Orbital album ‘Wonky’ – their first new album since reuniting in 2009 – which is released in Australia on 6th April. Like all previous Orbital albums, Wonky blows away narrow-minded caricatures of electronic music as cold and mechanical.

Review By Helen Brown
Among the depths of despair and depression, it is possible to find still more despair and depression if you dig deep enough and allow the bitterness to destroy you. Dolores O’Riordan and her band are back after a six year hiatus with a more mature sound and a collection of highly polished indie pop songs. The Cranberries’ sixth studio release, Roses, is a bleak introspective snapshot of a person’s thought process when coping with heartbreak and lost love, and is dedicated to a past figure who has caused irreparable damage and heartache.

You would never notice the 11 year break between records for The Cranberries, as O’Riordan sounds completely relaxed and in her element. With her beautifully raspy vocals crooning the usual “doo doos,” “oh ohs,” “la las” and “hey heys,” the alluring narcotic-laden Irish voice is an instrument unto itself.

Frankenweenie is an upcoming 3D black-and-white stop motion-animated film, directed by Tim Burton, and it is a remake of the Burton’s 1984 short film of the same name.

Like the 1984 version, it is a parody of and a homage to the 1931 film Frankenstein based on Mary Shelley’s book.

In the film, a boy named Victor loses his dog Sparky and uses the power of science to bring it back to life. The film is scheduled for release on October 5, 2012, and it will be the first stop-motion film to be released in IMAX 3D.
