German hard rock institution SINNER, which is fronted by Primal Fear bassist Mat Sinner, will soon release a very special new piece of work: titled "Touch Of Sin 2" (in a nod to SINNER's 1985 album, "Touch Of Sin"), the album includes 11 re-recorded versions of the best songs from the band's early years.

In addition, the 3 brand new songs “Blood On The Sand”, “Heat Of The City” and “Don’t Believe A Word” round off the album in a perfect way.

Abacus is surely a big name for everyone interested in rock music. The band, formed in 1971, made their breakthrough at the Germersheim rock festival. There, they drew as much applause from the 300,000 visitors as did Pink Floyd, Santana or Emerson, Lake & Palmer, all of which appeared on stage as well. Abacus published 4 LPs, the last 3 beeing recorded at Giorgio Moroder's "Musicland". Global record sales, numerous national and international tours, TV and radio shows helped Abacus became a top act— not only in Germany. If you like harmony vocals, driving guitars, classical and ethnic music, great keyboard and guitar solos, real Hammond organ, Moog synthesizers and Mellotrons, you love progressive rock! You will love Abacus, too!

Like so many risk takers, Jethro Tull have had their share of both admirers and detractors over the years. To their admirers, Ian Anderson and his colleagues did a lot to expand rock's boundaries; to their detractors, they epitomized progressive rock's excesses (especially during the '70s) and were a prime example of why the punk movement was needed. It's no secret that Tull – like Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer – were influenced by European classical music (as well as British folk, Celtic music, blues, and jazz).

This is the second of a series of themed cantata recordings by Marcel Ponseele and his crack ensemble, Il Gardellino. The first, titled Desire , was reviewed in Fanfare 34:5. The current disc, titled De Profundis , includes one of Bach’s earliest cantatas, BWV 131, and one of his latest, BWV 177, as well as a cantata by one of Bach’s prominent contemporaries, Christoph Graupner (1683–1760). The latter is of particular interest because Graupner was the Leipzig Town Council’s second choice (after Telemann) to replace its retiring cantor, Johann Kuhnau, in 1723. But Graupner was unable to obtain a release from his current employer, giving the appointment to the third choice, Johann Sebastian Bach, and changing the course of music history. In fact, the much-maligned council’s logic was sound. Telemann, a former resident, was the most celebrated (and industrious) composer in Germany, and Graupner had been Kuhnau’s apprentice.

"Journey to the Centre of the Earth" is a live album from the English keyboardist and composer Rick Wakeman. Released on 9 May 1974 on A&M Records, its concept is based on Jules Verne's science fiction novel of the same name. As the cost of recording the album in a studio was too high, the 40-minute piece was recorded in concert on 18 January 1974 at the Royal Festival Hall in London. The album retells the story of Professor Lidenbrok, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans who follow a passage to the centre of Earth discovered by Arne Saknussemm, a fictional Icelandic alchemist.
