The eponymous album of this long-forgotten US band was originally released in 1970 on Specialty label (home of Little Richard and Sam Cooke). The music on this excellent, but rather unknown LP is best described as very energetic early heavy rock music (with some British progressive rock influences) full of powerful riffings, spontaneous guitar solos, inventive Hammond organ passages, fine melodies and numerous rhythm changes. The most notable influences were Led Zeppelin, Cream, Steppenwolf, Mountain and Buffalo Springfield. This is necessary listening for all early heavy rock fans! This CD was carefully remastered from the original, analogue source and sounds really great!

LIV MOON’s 5th album “THE END OF THE BEGINNING” released on 9/26/2012 was created with a concept based on a Norse myth that has been passed down in Sweden, the birthplace of AKANE LIV. The album features Kee Marcello (ex-EUROPE), Kiko Loureiro (ANGRA) and Magnus Rosen (ex-HAMMERFALL).

The really interesting this new Elite Sucidal Italians (although you'd never know) Necroart, the band shows indeed a clear attitude to the prog-death-black metal typically northern European, precisely the kind of music that goes well as diffusion in Sweden and Finland.Album, in fact, in some places is given an impression folk, with the use (not solid) accordion (see track 3) and tunes that are very reminiscent folkeggianti rhythms, but all without altering the essence of 'album, which wants to be death and black (the origins of Necroart not lie about, since, until a few years ago, a group were purely black metal), as well as prog.The three souls of The Suicidal Elite then surely three: the black, the death and prog.

This surprising 1984 effort from John Abercrombie finds the guitarist in conversation with Jan Hammer, Jack DeJohnette, and Mike Brecker. The lack of a bassist on this session is not felt; the spaciousness of the music and the masterful playing of all parties involved keep the focus clearly on the melodies, both scripted and improvised.

A fascinating set from three strong and contrasting musical personalities: Norwegian saxophonist, Brazilian guitarist-pianist, and US bassist making purposeful and creative music together on this previously unreleased live recording. “Carta de Amor” documents music captured at Munich’s Amerika Haus in April, 1981. Two years on from the much-loved albums “Magico” (ECM 1151) and “Folk Songs” (ECM 1170), the trio’s improvisational empathy and sensibilities were further honed by experiences as a touring group. Repertoire includes five pieces from Gismonti’s pen, with the title track heard in two variations, opening and closing this enthralling double album.

Released in February 1970 on small Lizard label, the sole album of that forgotten US band contained a brilliant, heavy rock music with some blues influences dominated by loud guitars, dirty vocals and pounding rhythm section. Of the eleven tracks that make up the album, eight were originals and three were great covers, including a brutal rendition of Tobacco Road and very heavy version of ]umpin' Jack Flash. This exceptionally well-produced record has much to recommend it, particularly to fans of Frantic, Steppenwolf, Euclid and Yesterday's Children. In late 1971 reformed line-up recorded the second album, which remains unreleased. This CD has been carefully remastered from the original, analogue source.

In contrast to almost all sources it's very likely that this amazing, Spanish-only album was the first Tucky Buzzard LP ever - even earlier than oficial, self-titled US Capitol debut from May 1971! Most probably this forgotten, hard progressive classic was taped in Madrid in late '70 (still with first drummer Paul Francis who soon after went to Fuzzy Duck) and then released somewhere in 1971 by Hispavox label. lt's worth noting that some parts of album were recorded with a little help of Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra - especially 14-minutes long title suite which is fascinating and truly awesome work full of rich melodies and shifting rhythms. Undoubtedly this very impressive and freshly sounding mixture of pure heavy rock and orchestral sounds is the best Tucky Buzzard LP ever recorded!

Fresh off their triumphant performances on the roof of Buckingham Palace, a number of high profile Music Festivals and the 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony. Madness returns with their 10th Studio Album. In addition to a great Album Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da offers up legendary Artwork from Sir Peter Blake who was responsible for the Artwork for Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. With their constant Madstocks and concerts, Madness never went away, but their 2009 album The Liberty of Norton Folgate – their first album original material in ten years – felt like a full-fledged comeback, a return to the brilliant form of 1982's The Rise & Fall, the album that firmly positioned the band in the grand tradition of British pop.

The Alan Bown Set was formed as R&B/soul band in 1965, but two years later they shortened their name to The Alan Bown! and switched to pop-psych-rock, but with some rhythm and blues elements (inc. powerful trumpet/saxophone section) still present in their sound. After three great but rather unsuccessful singles, their debut LP finally appeared in October 1968 on Music Factory label. This stylistically varied, exceptionally well-played and cleverly arranged pop-rock masterpiece contained imaginative, short, but complex tracks full of compelling ideas, memorable hooks and great vocals by criminally underrated Jess Roden. Unfortunately, the album went completely unnoticed. This expanded CD edition contains 14 rare bonus tracks, including 10 amazing rarities from the BBC archives.
