Alma is a collaboration between six-time GRAMMY's-nominated Cuban composer and pianist Omar Sosa and celebrated Italian trumpet and flugelhorn player Paolo Fresu, with guest cello contributions on four tracks by noted Brazilian conductor, arranger, producer and cellist Jaques Morelenbaum. The compositions are all written by Omar Sosa and Paolo Fresu, except for Under African Skies , a version of the popular track from Paul Simon's Graceland. The music on Alma (soul) is generally melodic and medium-paced, except for a fiery version of Omar s composition Angustia. Fresu's flugelhorn work is sweet and warm and the rich and playful musical connection between Fresu and Sosa is evident throughout the recording.

The culture of storytelling have survived through many centuries. Stories and tales told by unknown authors are passed through generations and refuse to leave. This is because of their lucid idea that is inside us. This is the timeless message of peace and harmony with nature that becomes a question of escalating importance with each leaving age. There were indigenous tribes and clans of different beliefs and customs living in every area, only taking the needed and making the most of every life source. They believed that Universe was bound together by the spirits within nature: life, plants, animals, humans, water and even the Earth.

From the vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Cotillion, Reprise & Warner Brothers, highlighting the period 1968-75. A selection of Warner Brothers-related funk – but featuring some killer numbers that move way past the hits! This is one of the funkiest compilations we've ever heard from a major label – and it's proof that deep down in their catalogs, the majors were working just as hard as the indies to come up with some killer slabs of funk, as you'll hear in this set of 20 gems recorded between the years 1968 and 1974! Many of these numbers were only issued on 45s – or on long out of print LPs – and even though there's a few numbers on here that you may know, the set's also got a number of others that you probably don't, as it even surprised us with some of its funky goodies!

2008 fifteen CD set, the most complete anthology ever from the Italian master composer, released to coincide with the maestro's 80th birthday. This 15 disc set includes only original versions of his best works grouped into seven different categories, all selected by Morricone himself. The discs include: Music For Cinema (nine CDs containing 168 of his best themes in chronological order), Music For Television (two CDs containing 38 themes), Contemporary Classical Music (one CD containing 18 tracks), Original Songs (one CD containing 18 songs he composed for well-known Pop artists), Orchestral Arrangements (one CD containing 16 of his best arrangements) and Hit Song Arrangements (one CD containing 16 Pop hits he arranged in the '60s for Italian artists including rarities, remixes and more).

The Italian Modern Folk Metal band Krampus can safely be regarded as the most promising and fast-rising star in their genre, all the while further expanding the boundaries of Folk Metal as we know it. Their first full-length effort, Survival Of The Fittest, has been produced by Krampus’s charismatic frontman Filippo Gianotti himself at Udine’s legendary Blackmirror Studios and is set for release in late August 2012. Shortly after the release, Krampus will embark on their first extensive European tour, joining Wintersun and Korpiklaani on 2012’s edition of the hugely successful Heidenfest tour.

Peace Therapy Vol. 2 is continuing the series with improved artists and melodic ambient psytrance feelings. Peace Therapy Vol.1 was released early ‘2004 and had a great success. Peace Therapy Vol. 2 sounds like "ambient and psychedelic downtempo" music. It flows into a nice progression from deep ambient floating sounds to 130 bpm downtempo psychedelic and melodic grooves, bringing a nice journey to listeners in chill-rooms or starting up an outdoor party.

'Hewitt's playing is equally representative of her general approach to his music. Her touch is amazingly light, incredibly crisp and alert to the possibilities afforded by the piano' (Gramophone)

When the elements of melody and harmony are carefully balanced, the convergence of one world with another results in a beautiful sound. Namaste is a collaborative album crafted by Rahul Sharma a native of Indias Kashmir region and a third-generation master of the exotic, 100-string santoor and saxophonist Kenny G, a multiple Grammy-winning titan on the contemporary jazz landscape for more than two decades. This unusual and daring project captures the best of these two musicians with a chill ambiance set up by mixer/producer extraordinaire Kid Tricky.
