Queen Omega Breaks Ground With New Album (Nice Up)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:01:31 GMT

There isn’t any doubting Queen Omega’s talent, but in the past she’s struggled to stretch it across an entire LP. For every few standout tunes such as 'Greedy Boy', 'The Youth' or 'Judgement', there’s been a half baked one like Destiny - a mere filling of a rhythm track instead of a song.Tough new album Servant Of Jah Army for Mad Professor puts an end to that. It has all the enthusiasm, power...

The familiar mad professor, a jovial fellow with wild white hair and a monster mustache, sends students hither to accomplish a succession of tasks.Sure, they're ridiculous, like moving a wagon wheel to the mayor's basement by using a bowling ball to trip a lever and unlock a trapdoor.

Australia's Beau Casson is an ordinary bowler (The Telegraph)

... much about Casson is ordinary. Take his character. He might appear to possess potential for the mad professor look when older, but he is certainly no eccentric like so many others to have plied his trade. Think of the dark, reclusive Michael Bevan, whom England coach Peter Moores struggled to deal with in his early years at Sussex, or the hyperactive Brad Hogg. Or even, from a bygone era,...

So how do you stop yourself from imploding in a puff of concept albums, overblown egos and monster-sized tours? Muse's mad professor Matt Bellamy reveals all to Kevin Courtney

Zizek! (Channel 4)

Not to be confused with Zidane or, for that matter, Zatôichi, Zizek! is a 71-minute intellectual ear-bashing, the effect of which is not entirely dissimilar to the former's mighty headbutt or the latter's wayward sword. Lavishing undivided attention on its eponymous hero, the film follows this mad professor as he gives dense, doctorate-level lectures around the world, philosophising (often straight...
