Advantages: The best of British rock Disadvantages: Maybe a little cliched
Back in the 1980?s, a wonderful band called Terraplane decided to call it a day, after producing a couple of brilliant albums which no-one bought. Fortunately for rock lovers, three of the band, vocalist Danny Bowes, guitarist and main songwriter Luke Morley and drummer ?Arry ?H? James enjoyed making music and each other?s company far too much to let it end there. So they stayed together, started another band, and called themselves Thunder.
In August 1989, the newly formed band signed to EMI. Not long afterwards, a bassist (Mark Luckhurst) and a guitarist/keyboard player (Ben Matthews) were added, and the recording of one of British rock music?s greatest ever albums started. In February 1990, Thunder burst onto the scene with their first single ?Dirty Love?, which was followed in late April 1990 by their debut album, ?Backstreet ...

TROPIC THUNDER
A FILM ONLY REVIEW
This film had completely passed me by as both film and DVD; I actually watched it off Sky Movies.
I decided to watch it as I noticed that Ben Stiller and Jack Black were in it and I generally enjoy their films.
THE PLOT
The spoof war film is about waning action star Tugg Speedman; multiple Oscar winner Kirk Lazarus - a method actor who endures pigmentation surgery in order to play a black man; drug addicted comedian Jeff Portnoy; rapper Alpha Chino, a real black man who takes offence to Lazarus' clichéd portrayal of a black man and lesser known Kevin Sandusky were filming a Vietnam war film.
The film, based on a book by Four Leaf Tayback ( a Vietnam Veteran ), was already way behind schedule even though filming had just started because of the behaviour ...
Advantages: Great album for thunder fans Disadvantages: last album from a great band.
This is the 2008 album by the British rock group Thunder, it is their 9th studio album. They have had complilation albums such as the live album and the ballads one. Their website is www.thunderonline.com. Here you can listen to samples of this album and some of their others from their long history dating back to the 1980's.
Unfortuantly it has been revealed that it will be their last album recorded together. So this is the year to see them live if you have never seen them play. Samples can also be heard of each track on amazon.co.uk website too. So listen before you buy if you arent familiar with their work.
The band will still perform on an individual basis or with the other groups they belong to.
The band is Luke Morley, guitars, percussion, backing vocals and harmonica
Ben Mathews, guitars and keyboards
Harry James, drums ...

Album Notes
Audio Mixer: Bill Laswell. Jai Uttal's intensive study of Indian music with legendary sarod player Ali Akbar Khan has led him down a sonic path filled with heavily Eastern-tinged tones, but THUNDER LOVE is another matter entirely. A true example of "world music," it's a pan-cultural potpourri of sounds and styles from around the globe, seamlessly sewn into a contemporary pop/rock format. Uttal's soulful singing and spiritual themes provide the crucial connective thread throughout the album.
