"The Colours Of Spring" presents a band in the midst of radical reinvention. Remarkably, though, this 1986 outing doesn't carry the air of an awkward transitional album; in fact, it's arguably the British group's finest and most assured record. Working closely with producer/multi-instrumentalist Tim Friese-Greene, Talk Talk takes a sizable step away from its glossy early work, opting for a warm, organic sound that perfectly complements frontman Mark Hollis's plaintive vocals and pensive, existential lyrics.

"Spirit of Eden" was originally released in 1988 and was Talk Talk's fourth album. Much more experimental than their previous albms, it was not a commercial success but garnered praise from critics and musicians. Since it was first released, the album has come to be regarded as influential to post-rock and alternative rock.

The Kundalini Genie are a psychedelic rock'n'roll band from Glasgow, Scotland.

From Beach Boys-esque harmonic vocal symphonies on top of layers of dreamy fuzz guitar and synth, to wall-of-soundscapes with 60's inspired song structure - The Kundalini Genie reimagine retro, and take it into the future.

This album is a bold reimagining of Robert Schumann's beloved song cycle, Dichterliebe, based on the artists' cutting-edge research into the earliest surviving recordings of singers and pianists - including musicians directly connected to Schumann. The musical result is jarring at first, and then increasingly compelling: a creative freedom and rhetorical flair bordering on wildness, which belies the years of careful study of historical source material that made such risk-taking possible.

Considered one of the most talented musicians of his time, distinguished himself in church and theatre alike, Henry Purcell (1659-1695) began his career as a keyboard musician. In this recording, Jean-Luc Ho evokes different facets of the composer's activity and his European influences, alternating original pieces with transcriptions rooted in the practice of 17thcentury harpsichordists and organists.

This recording brings together four extraordinary mid-20th-century composers who helped shape America’s musical destiny. Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land is a moving tribute to the American rancher and farmer. It forms a profound celebration of those unsung heroes of that country’s landscape, and is perhaps his greatest expression of the preciousness of life. Walter Piston is represented by his colorful and beguiling The Incredible Flutist, which depicts a traveling circus led by a magical musician who is able to heal the sorrows of those who hear his music.
