Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann could be considered the unluckiest composer in classical music. A series of unfortunate coincidences and ill-timings led to his compositional career never being fully realised. The highly successful premiere of arguably his most significant work Undine was even curtailed by the theatre burning down after 14 performances and the opera was only staged once more – unsuccessfully – within the composer’s lifetime. However despite being a gifted caricaturist and writer (his novel The Nutcracker formed the basis for Tchaikovsky’s ballet) and a ……..

Album recorded in 1993 for Germany and the European Union by this accredited conductor, clarinetist, saxophonist, arranger and singer German, born 1935 in Upper Bavaria and still active with his orchestra, with which began in the 60s, usually playing music sound 'Big Band'. Seelos has performed in numerous countries in Europe, Asia and Arab countries, as in intimate clubs. He focuses his music on dance styles for ballroom and has published more than thirty albums. He remains a perfect stylist to the dance floor (social or competition).

After the band's 20th anniversary, which included a whirlwind tour through Europe, Latin America and Asia, Lacrimosa's 11th studio album marks a new era and a grand step forward for the band. In addition to tasteful use of choirs and orchestra, 'Revolution' also features the talents of Mille Petrozza (Kreator) and drummer Stefan Schwarmann (Accept)!

Devin Townsend has returned with the fifth album under his current solo moniker; the Devin Townsend Project. Over the past three years Devy has expanded into a wide array of musical soundscapes, pushing his repertoire into unexplored territories, as well as expanding on the styles and sounds that have made him a hit. While it will be startling for some, Epicloud should not be taken as an indication of where Townsend is going in his career. It is just another passing whim of his; a bombastic and catchy record, filled to the brim with some of the best pop metal you will ever find.

Album released in 2002 in England and digitally remastered with a compilation of two LP's by British musician and director George Edward 'Ted Heath' (London, 1902-69). Heath led one of the most popular bands of the post-war years, recording over 100 albums and solding over 20 million records. While Heath died in 1969 the band returned to regroup with a majority of pupils of Heath in the early 70s, with the permission of the Heath family, and because of his reputation they continued to act until his final concert in December 2000. This CD just tried to recover the memory of this great band releasing a reissue of their albums 'Swing session' (1958) and 'Palladium revisited' (1963). This is the London Palladium, where Heath made over 110 concerts between 1947 and 1955.

High class melodic hard Rock album, female singer Gudrun Laos shock you with his powerful voice, she roars like a Lion. Every song is a sample of what Melodic Rock is, there are no bad songs here, ¡ just power ! Gudrun Laos was often compared with Doro as she also had a quite powerful voice.

A dynamite blend of original blues & swing featuring guest appearances by some of Canada's finest blues legends: Dutch Mason, Donnie "Mr.Downchild" Walsh, Jack de Keyzer, Tony D & more!
Second cd for Big Daddy G features great guitar, swinging B3 organ plus one of the top harmonica players around.

The music of the Gravenites-Cippolina Band was unlike any other. It can't be compared to Quicksilver Messenger Service…which band was the apple and which the orange?The Gravenites-

Cipollina Band created unique blues rock. It picks up where Mike Bloomfield left off.This is a very rare release of what the band was doing at the time…at their best.

This CD has been a long time coming for serious Ray Conniff collectors, as it's been most difficult to find for years. The quality is excellent, as opposed to some bootleg versions that were very poor. You will certainly enjoy this one, and will welcome it into your collections.
