Guest Low Roller Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 According to Pitchfork, Neil Young is working on a new album called 'Chrome Dreams II'. The name is a sequel of the mythical album of the same name that was scrapped by Young in 1977 in favour of a more commercial friendly album. No real details were revealed in the article on the contents of Chrome Dreams II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Sounds good! I've got Chrome Dreams I and it's amazing (it was compiled by Young freaks and has impeccable sound). Can't believe it was ever shelved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I see that two cuts are of the lengthy epic variety. I hope this will signal Neil's return to playing lead guitar solos, something he's all but abandonded this century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Here's an exerpt from the NY Times "Chrome Dreams" review:Had it been released, "Chrome Dreams" might have stood today as one of Neil Young's best records ever. The bar-room characters amidst historical references & passionate love songs creates a magical atmosphere. But like most first drafts, the perception of what's important & what isn't must be left to the artist, and not to the record company bean counters or the whims of the artists' "biggest" fans. As near-perfect as "Chrome Dreams" might seem, it's release would've created un-fillable holes in other near-perfect albums like "American stars 'n bars," "Comes A Time" and "Rust Never Sleeps."

Kanada Kev Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 YOUNG PLAYS NEW RECORD FOR REPRISENY Times, August 16, 2007Continuing a tradition that goes back to 1969, Neil Young played his latest recording for Reprise yesterday. The recording was played for about 100 people in Burbank. Produced by "The Volume Dealers," NY and Niko Bolas, the recording runs 60+ minutes and includes two giant songs that time in at 18:30 and 13:00, respectively.Drawing from three songs written previously, and 7 new songs, the latest Neil Young is a very diverse recording. A release date is unknown at this time. The title is Chrome Dreams II.Chrome Dreams is a legendary NY album from 1977 that had originally been scheduled for release but was shelved. The original cover for Chrome Dreams was created by Neil's long-time producer and friend, the late David Briggs. Unfortunately, all original documentation and art for this album was lost in a fire that destroyed Neil's Malibu home in early 1978.http://neilyoung.com/[Published on 8/20/2007] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
