The Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble has been an ever-changing entity in both personnel and musical direction. Originally structured as a free jazz unit whose players were given "electronic shadows," this model has given way to something entirely other in composition and execution. The ensemble now numbers nine members. Only five of these players – Parker (saxophones, tapes, samples), Philipp Wachsmann (violin, electronics), Augusti Fernandez (piano, prepared piano), Barry Guy (double bass), and Paul Lytton (percussion, electronics) – are considered "free jazz" players in anything resembling proper usage. Six members of the ensemble play electronics (the others are Joel Ryan, Walter Prati, Marco Vecchio, and Lawrence Casserley).

Romance and mystery abound on GUITARRA MISTICA. Govi's sultry guitars paint an irresistible landscape filled with Latin rhythms, exotic percussion and tantalizing melodies. From Samba Delight to Danza Del Amor, Govi's mastery at creating a mood inspires visions of warm nights and moonlit strolls. The perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening.

One of the greatest soul records of all time and an album that we'd never part with! Gloria Scott only ever recorded this one full LP but that's more than enough, as the whole thing's a masterpiece produced by Barry White with the best of his 70s approach, and featuring songs written by lesser known White protege, Tom Brock! Nearly every single cut's a classic a mixture of deep soul, mellow soul, and slight traces of funk all gliding effortlessly together with White's stone cold production, and Gloria's instantly captivating vocals.

Canada’s Blackguard are often touted as being one of North America’s answers to folk metal, and really, if this is the only thing we have to offer to the scene (which is just not true), than we can hardly call ourselves afficionados, because Blackguard is about as folk related as Children of Bodom. Just because a band has an epic feel, does not make them folk, viking, whatever, in fact, Firefight is merely a classic speed metal album, bordering on power metal, with harsh vocals and some melodic death influence. That’s it folks, no more, no less.

Omission is a thrash band from Spain that released their album ‘Thrash Metal Is Violence’ in 2009 by themselves and were picked up by Xtreem Music based on that album. Compared to the debut the production on ‘Merciless Jaws From Hell’ is much better and fans of this type of extreme thrash metal should appeal to this album.
