A rap/metal act from Spain, Def Con Dos started playing covers of Public Enemy and Beastie Boys while touring Madrid's club scene under the name of Freddy Krueger y los Masters del Universo. Soon they recorded a demo called Primer Asalto, signed up to local label Dro, and released Segundo Asalto in February of 1990. A good chance to leave the underground came when Def Con Dos, also known as DCD, had the opportunity to open for Run-D.M.C. while the American rap band was touring Spain. Kamarada Nikolai became DCD's new member before recording Alzheimer, released in April of 1995. Soon after, they recorded the main title for Alex de la Iglesia's movie El Día de la Bestia…

Album LP reissued on CD from the original released in 1982. It was the debut of the late Spanish pop group Mecano, built by brothers Nacho and José María Cano, musicians and composer, and singer Ana Torroja. With the perspective of 30 years since the start of his career, Mecano is still considered the most prominent pop group of the golden age of Spanish music between 1981-1992. The group essentially typecast in pop music, techno evolved from baseline to eclecticism at the end of his time. The success in the Spanish-speaking world made to reach more than 25 million albums sold internationally.

It gives a repertoire of 12 songs dedicated to tango music, selected from well-known successes of this kind of music arranged by himself Last. Eternal themes appear orchestrally interpreted in European style of dance music.

It's not surprising that David Byrne and St. Vincent's Annie Clark were drawn to work together. While they're hardly sound-alikes, they are both keen but somewhat detached observers of the human condition who make music that's equally cerebral and passionate. However, it is somewhat surprising to learn that they created their collaboration Love This Giant largely online, meeting in the studio together with their team of musicians and producers a handful of times during the album's three-year gestation period, because they're on such a harmonious wavelength throughout it. Though the album's brass-driven sound suggests Byrne's post-Talking Heads work more than St. Vincent's guitar acrobatics (Clark fans may be disappointed that her playing is relegated to the sidelines here, albeit artfully so), it was actually Clark's idea to write these songs for a brass band when the project began as a handful of songs the duo was going to perform in a bookstore.

Morrocan violinist Fathi Ben Yakoub and the French cellist Matthieu Saglio have hanged a bridge over the Mediterranean held up by only 8 strings. The violin-cello duet is one of the rarest forms of chamber music, a chamber whose walls were knocked down by Fathi Ben Yakoub and Matthieu Saglio, and left open for the wind to run through. Despite their separate origins (classical Arabic oriental music for the former and classical western music for the latter), the two virtuous men have coincided in their joint interest of different music cultures of the world…

(Ashkenazy) proves equal to the capricious moods of the piece, and both he and Haitink are fully responsive to the constant interplay between soloist and orchestra. This is a performance that succeeds in being dramatic, without becoming hysterical, as can so easily happen in this concerto… For the Second Concerto, Decca took Ashkenazy and Haitink to Vienna and results were predictably every bit as good as those obtained in Amsterdam. - Peter Herring – “Classical Music on Compact Disc”

Finnish conductor Paavo Berglund, who passed away in January 2012, was one of the last remaining conductors with a direct personal connection to Sibelius. With the Second and Seventh Symphonies already released on the LPO Label, Berglund’s Sibelius legacy is further cemented in these live concert recordings with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, in which he vividly captures the natural flight of the Fifth Symphony and the freefall journey of the Sixth.

Rhodes has forged a career through a resolutely unconventional path. As a child, he used his love of music as a form of escapism against a traumatic life of abuse. After turning down a music scholarship at the age of eighteen, Rhodes didn’t play the piano again for another decade, instead working in the City while battling drug and alcohol addiction, as well as spending time in mental institutions. The birth of his son was the catalyst he needed to quit his day job and to pursue the career he had always dreamed of.

The 1969 double album Live/Dead holds a special place in the Deadhead universe; indeed, many band members and their inner circle consider it to be the band’s best overall collection as well. This expanded, three-CD edition is culled from the same February/March ’69 shows at the Dead’s de facto live home, San Francisco’s Fillmore West. What’s documented here are not only some of the greatest performances of the band’s early era, but the still-evolving template for much of the band’s later flights of improvisation. The first, blues-dominated disc pays tribute to a band that a couple years earlier had been but an ambitious bar covers ban! d, while the second chronicles the Dead’s expansive "Dark Star/St. Stephen/The Eleven" triptych wed to a cover of the Rev. Gary Davis’ "Death Don’t Have No Mercy," 2/28/69 performances that turn on the freeform interplay that would become their trademark for decades to follow.
