Wasting no time in the wake of the Gallagher brothers sudden 2009 implosion, Sony released the deluxe Time Flies 1994-2009 retrospective in the summer of 2010, just in time for the 15th anniversary of (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? The driving idea behind Time Flies is to collect all 27 of Oasis’ British A-sides, a simple idea that would seem to fit one of the great singles band, but sticking to the singles winds up leaving many great songs behind, including their manifesto “Rock & Roll Star,” “Champagne Supernova,” the lovely “Talk Tonight,” and Noel and Liam’s duet “Acquiesce,” among many tremendous B-sides…

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Martyn Brabbins gives invigorating and authoritative performances of William Walton’s masterful symphonies. The musicians balance stunning control with breathtaking energy and character. Following the resounding success of Belshazzar’s Feast, Walton spent three years perfecting his dramatic first symphony. The immensely virtuosic work displays an astounding range of colours and emotional volatility, reflecting the turbulence of Walton’s private life. Despite its fraught gestation—the first performance in 1934 by the London Symphony Orchestra was missing the finale—this work met with an ecstatic critical reception and has remained popular ever since.

There is no doubt Uriah Heep has already secured themselves a place among the “classic” or “legendary” bands a rock fan enumerates in a single breath – with their early and mid-1970s cult albums, recorded by the classic Heep line-up. Past achievements aside, forty five years and more than a few personal changes later, the band still stands strong – the clear proof of which is their newest release Outsider, a follow-up to and a musical continuation of the 2011 Into The Wild album.

Marco Antônio Araujo is a classic when it comes to brazilian prog, and also a highly recommended artist for anyone who likes both symphonic rock and prog folk.

"Brincadeira" was one of the first compositions by Araújo done in his personal style. There were several versions of this theme, but only this one was recorded. Other pieces of this theme were written but never recorded…

Welcome back to the wonderful world of Sniper Mode. It is almost unbelievable at which space the project of Gregor Trescher has evolved over the past eighteen months: following a highly acclaimed debut, the young talent Trescher has gathered some respect with a series of outstanding remixes. Among those remix works there is the strong ÜNN “Reality"-remix which has brought recognition in German and English press to Sniper Mode as well as the great cooperation with Pascal F.E.O.S. for the remix of Camouflage´s “Me & You". Yet, this longplayer is not a Sniper Mode solo album but is a joint venture with Swiss producer Murat Böyük Pilavci aka MBP…

An inventive Berlin polit-rock band, who were launched onto the scene in early 1972 with enthusiastic help from Floh De Cologne, to whom Lokomotive Kreuzberg were comparable in many ways. Amazingly creative, even on their debut, Lokomotive Kreuzberg blended hard-rock and blues together with more progressive sounds, with socio-political lyric and elements of satirical theatre. …
