No Way Out (The Chocolate Watchband album)

No Way Out is the debut album by the American garage rock band The Chocolate Watchband, and was released in September 1967 on Tower Records (see 1967 in music). It blended both garage and psychedelic rock influences, and was marked by distorted guitar instrumentals that were early examples of protopunk. It features the band's harder-edged interpretations of songs, with only three original compositions. The album was preceded by two non-album singles, "Sweet Young Thing" and "Misty Lane", and track singles, "No Way Out" and "Are You Gonna be There (At the Love-in)". However, none of the singles managed to chart. Like its singles, No Way Out failed to reach the Billboard 200, but it established the group as a popular live act, and later became noted as a garage rock classic.

Background

Recording sessions took place in mid-1967 at American Recording Studios, located in Los Angeles, California, with record producer, Ed Cobb. Progress on the album was rapid, although the percussion, harmonica, and vocals were overdubbed onto the tracks after the initial instrumental recordings were complete. The band held little power in the recording studio as Cobb selected the compositions that appeared on the album. Only the title song, "No Way Out", was an original song written by a Chocolate Watchband member. In all, only four tracks included the whole band, and were released in their intended form. The remaining songs replaced David Aguilar's vocals with session musician Don Bennett and added embellished instrumentals.Music critic Bruce Eder described the material on the album as "highly potent, slashing, exciting, clever pieces of music".

No Way Out (song)

"No Way Out" is a song by the English singer Phil Collins from the Brother Bear film soundtrack.


Production

Two different versions of the song are placed onto the Brother Bear soundtrack. One is 4:18 minutes long and rock-driven, while the other is 2:37 minutes long and a more mellow keyboard-driven version.

Scene

The scene where the song is heard sees Kenai being forced to tell Koda that he killed his mother when he was a human. He is remorseful but Koda looks horrified and runs away in fear.

Critical reception

GenesisNews said the song is a "compact...strong balled" and reminiscent of older Phil Collins songs such as I Wish It Would Rain Down due to its "speed, harmonies and female backing vocals". Allmusic deemed it "forgettable ".

In the context of the film, No Way Out has been highly criticised for drowning out the dialogue in the film's climactic scene with generic pop lyrics.

    No Way Out of Texas: In Your House

    No Way Out of Texas: In Your House was the twentieth pay-per-view event under the In Your House name produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on February 15, 1998, at the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas and was presented by Western Union.

    It was the first of a series of In Your House events which later became the title of annual pay-per-views, replacing the method at the time of making new names for all events aside from the 'Big Four' (the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and the Survivor Series) and King of the Ring. However, because later events did not take place in Texas, it was truncated to No Way Out and would not become a regular feature until 2000.

    Shawn Michaels did not appear in the main event as advertised, owing to a severe back injury that resulted in his first retirement after the following month's WrestleMania XIV. He was replaced by Savio Vega.

    Background

    Due to jealousy over his wife and valet, Sable, receiving all the attention of the audience, Marc Mero sought to annoy the crowd by sending Sable from ringside and instead being accompanied by The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust who first dressed up as Sable and then later, in a nod to the popular song "The Beautiful People", as Marilyn Manson. Metalheads and cross dressers The Headbangers, took exception to this.

    Way Out (Roxette song)

  • Way Out (TV series)

    Way Out (note that the on-screen title begins with an apostrophe) is a 1961 fantasy and science fiction television anthology series hosted by writer Roald Dahl. The macabre, black-and-white, 25-minute shows were introduced by Dahl, his face projected in a disconcerting hall of mirrors effect, dryly delivering a brief introductory monologue, expounding on such unusual subjects as undertakers or frogs or murdering a romantic rival with ground tiger's whiskers.

    The taped series began because CBS needed a replacement for a Jackie Gleason talk show that network executives were about to cancel, and producer David Susskind contacted Dahl to help mount a show quickly. The series was paired by the network with the similar The Twilight Zone for Friday evening broadcasts, running from March through July 1961 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. The show's primary sponsor was Liggett & Myers (L&M cigarettes). Writers included Philip H. Reisman, Jr. and Sumner Locke Elliott.

    The premiere episode, "William and Mary", adapted from a Roald Dahl short story, told of a wife getting revenge on her husband.

    Way Out

    by: Unjust

    Disposable Feelings…in turn
    How can I care now, when all is gone
    Only Fire…
    Masked pretenders…
    Way out…way out…
    This times its forever…
    Way out of time…Again
    Way out…way out…
    This times its forever…
    Way out of time
    Forever fleeting… the call
    Return for the measures, when the time is good
    Only fire burns…
    Indecisions…
    Who's to fill this empty body of mine left here?
    Destructions of fear make shapes of mind change,
    Only mine stays.
    Disposable Feelings…in turn
    How can I care?
