This self titled album, "Big Life" is the brand new collaboration of two renowned AOR musicians: Lead singer Mark Thompson ("Praying Mantis") and guitarist Steve Newman ("Newman"); drums on the album are performed by Rob Mc Ewan.

Love it or hate it, power metal is here to stay; and no band has done more staying than German supergroup Primal Fear, who arrive at their sixth studio release, Seven Seals (and seventh release overall, if you count 2002's Horrorscope EP – hence the title), showing just as much conviction and, er, power, as ever before. What's more, where recent efforts had found singer Ralf Scheepers (ex-Gamma Ray, near-Rob Halford replacement) somewhat uninspired and prone to merely reminding you, again and again, how gloriously metallic metal is, here he proceeds to discuss how gloriously metallic things like demons, angels, and roller coasters are…

This release owes its original inspiration to a book published in 2013 entitled “Nachtmeerfahrten” (Sea Journeys by Night), which takes the reader over to the dark side of romanticism, to a world of fantasy, of eerie shadows, and things that go bump in the night. Producer Siggi Loch edited the “Meer”/ sea part out of the title, which therefore became “Nachtfahrten” (Night Journeys), which suits this pianist, who is a creature of the nocturnal realm. He feels very much at home in a world of grey cats and blurred outlines, where the contrasting emotions of the moment can leave all rational expectations behind; this is a backdrop which is alive with possibility, but…

Les albums de jazz qui sortent des sentiers battus sont plutôt rares. Voilà une bonne raison d'apprécier So High, le troisième album de la chanteuse Anne Carleton. Un disque doux et reposant sur lequel la belle voix de la chanteuse est accompagnée d'instruments à cordes (piano, violoncelle, violon, contrebasse) et d'un acordéon. L'atmosphère est intimiste et surtout poétique. Le disque ressemble à un long poème musical construit autour du thème de la liberté et, à la voix d'Anne Carleton, se mêle la voix grave d'Edgar Morin…

High Civilization is the Bee Gees' nineteenth original album (seventeenth worldwide), released in 1991. For a group that had been making music for almost 30 years, the Bee Gees were still able to surprise their audience. High Civilization was the band's third and final album with Warner Brothers and, following the dark and intense One album, they changed direction again. High Civilization is an upbeat, electronic album, with numerous interesting, often humorous touches that ensure that the album works on several levels.

Busoni (1 April 1866 – 27 July 1924) was an Italian composer, pianist, editor, writer, piano and composition teacher, and conductor. Most of Busoni's works are for the piano. Busoni's music is typically contrapuntally complex, with several melodic lines unwinding at once. Although his music is never entirely atonal in the Schoenbergian sense, his mature works, beginning with the Elegies, are often in indeterminate key…
