ROCK NEW RELEASE - 29/07/2016 Chris Robinson Brotherhood – Anyway You Love, We Know How You Feel SAR16 SAR16LP 020286221906 020286221890 CD LP2 MEGAFORCE MEGAFORCE ROCK ROCK £7.99 £21.00 When the Chris Robinson Brotherhood headed into the studio to begin recording their new album, 'Any Way You Love, We Know How You Feel', no one knew just what to expect. These would be the band's first recordings with new drummer Tony Leone (Ollabelle, Levon Helm), their first since the departure of founding bassist Mark "Muddy" Dutton, and their first time producing themselves. But as anybody who's been following the CRB can attest, this is a band that thrives on the unexpected. If you need proof, just go back to 2012, when they first emerged on the national stage by releasing not one, but two acclaimed full-length albums within a few months of each other. Critics hailed their sprawling debut, 'Big Moon Ritual', as a revelation, with Uncut calling it a "tenderly-executed piece of work…[that's] both earthy and transcendent", while The Independent raved that Robinson had "finally found the ideal vehicle to indulge his taste for 'Cosmic California Music.'" The reviews were similarly ecstatic for its immediate follow-up, 'The Magic Door', which was praised by Relix as "classic rock in the finest sense." The band's relentless tour schedule brought their shimmering acidAmericana around the world for a staggering 118-date tour, firmly establishing the CRB as the new standard-bearers of the psychedelic roots torch. In 2014, they returned to the studio for 'Phosphorescent Harvest,' a masterful collection that showcased the blossoming songwriting partnership between Robinson and guitarist Neal Casal. Rolling Stone raved that the album was "electrifying…boast[ing] a vintage rock vibe that's at once quirky, trippy, soulful and downright magnetic," and Guitar World called it" a treasure trove of soul that advances the band's bluesy, kaleidoscopic sound." On each of those albums, the songs and arrangements had been locked in prior to the sessions, but heading back into the studio for 'Any Way You Love,' Robinson purposely left as much open-ended as possible, embracing the line-up changes and leaning into the virtuosic improvisational chemistry that's always made their live shows such enthralling spectacles. Not coincidentally, Robinson also cites it as perhaps the best recording experience of his life. The band relocated to northern California for the sessions, recording on the side of a mountain overlooking the foggy Pacific Ocean and channelling the natural majesty and melancholic weather of their surroundings into the album's eight, epic, immersive tracks.

Often credited for keeping NYC punk rock alive in the '90s, these five friends with unmistakable chemistry are widely regarded as one of the most important and unsung rock 'n' roll bands of the past twenty-five years. This is their first album in 17 years and is by the original line up. Before they'd ever been signed, D Gen played sell-out concerts at such seminal New York City venues as CBGB, the Continental and Irving Plaza. Gear was trashed, bottles broken, authorities called, venues shut down, record execs turned away... but the lucky few hundred who were at these gigs were instant converts. A "scene" was born. Now the classic D Gen lineup - Jesse Malin, Danny Sage, Howie Pyro, Michael Wildwood and Richard Bacchus - is putting the finishing touches on a brand new album. Recorded under Avenue A and on Rivington Street, D Generation remains connected to their NYC home and wouldn't want it any other way. Produced by Danny Sage, the record will be out this summer on the band's own Bastard Basement Records.

Andy has had chart success with Amen Corner in the 60s and solo success in the 70s, along the way he has played with 100s of top musicians. Cardiff born Andy Fairweather Low first established himself as frontman with chart topping 60s group Amen Corner and soon reached teen idol status. Amen Corner scored 6 memorable hits between 1967 and 1969, with “(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice” reaching no.1 in January ’69. In 1974 Andy began a solo career and scored a top 10 hit with “Reggae Tune” in September of that year, and the following year reaching Number 6 with the memorable “Wide Eyed And Legless” highlighting his characteristic voice. 1975s ‘La Booga Rooga’ was the album that featured “Wide Eyed And Legless” and thus far remains Andy’s biggest selling album. Andy has always surrounded himself with a stellar cast of musicians and just some of the luminaries contributing to his 1970s solo albums were Gerry Rafferty, Georgie Fame, Bernie Leadon, B.J Cole and Kenney Jones. Andy’s last solo album around this time was 1980s self produced ‘Mega-Shebang’ featuring his trademark mixture of styles. Throughout his career Andy’s services as a vocalist and guitarist have been sought by a who’s who of bands and musicians either on a touring basis or as a recording artist. Amongst this highly impressive list are: Jimi Hendrix, Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, David Crosby, Van Morrison, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, Sheryl Crow, Richard And Linda Thompson, Chris Rea, The Band, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Page and hundreds more.

Bomba swayed and jived and danced, tugging at each performer with invisible strings and snapping his fingers to make things happen. He was a force to witness and his band was fantastic. The horns were explosive and the rhythm section was the vibrant, beating heart. Latin rhythms, Jamaican rhythms, '50s American malt shop rhythms – you name it, they nailed it.” - Matt MacMaster , Drum Media Sydney "worth the wait" - PBS Radio Feature Album March 2013 ...step-lively takes on everything from the 'Get Smart' theme to "Papa's got a Brand New Ska"" - Rolling Stone Magazine, Album Review, May 2013 "The vibrancy and animation you find in the Melbourne Ska Orchestra’s debut self-titled album is a genuine ear opener.

After the release of their acclaimed single Modern Psyche late last year, the Nottingham lads immediately hit the studio with award winning, Aussie producer, Catherine Marks (Wolf Alice, Foals) to start work on their new EP Silent Fever. Drawing on the duo's colourful spectrum of musical influences, the title track is musical hydration, as it combines light melodies with fulfilling bass tones and experimental synths. Quotes: The band create a powerful slab of noise - Line Of Best Fit Poised to be the name on every tastemaker's lips throughout 2016 - Clash There's no two ways about it, if April Tower's aren't massive in 2016, then there is no justice in the world - Gigwise Big tunes that will no doubt be filling bigger stages imminently - Drowned in Sound They have got the energy for it all.

On their second album, 'Kem Som Kan A Leve', their mode of expression is deeper and more dreamlike, the soundscape is broader and more substantial, and their music is still extremely addictive and strangely catchy. The members of the trio Building Instrument are Mari Kvien Brunvoll (vocals, sampler, zither, percussion, kazoo), Øyvind Hegg-Lunde (drums, percussion) and Asmund Weltzien (synth, electronics). Drummer Øyvind Hegg-Lunde plays in two bands that have released records, Strings & Timpani and Electric Eye, and has toured with José Gonzalez and his band Junip. Keyboard player Asmund Weltzien makes a vital contribution to the new soundscape on this album with his expanded palette of sounds. The album 'Kem Som Kan A Leve' was made in the course of a two-year period, and some of the material was composed for a concert inspired by the art of Kurt Schwitters, which was commissioned and performed at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter at Høvikodden, outside of Oslo, in September 2015. The concert marked the opening of a new, permanent Kurt Schwitters exhibition at the art centre, and was arranged as part of the Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival. The album was recorded in the legendary "Studio", a hall in the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, the same week as the Schwitters concert was given its world premiere. The album was mixed by producer Jørgen Træen together with Anders Bjelland.

It is the follow up to groundbreaking album The Hum, which earned them a place in Mojo's Top Ten Folk Albums of 2014, a nomination for Best Duo in last year's BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, a Top of the World album selection in Songlines Magazine, a five star live review and feature in The Guardian, and an invite to perform at Glastonbury by Billy Bragg.

Walking away from the tried and tested route of a two yearly major record release to self-release a concept album may have seemed a foolish move for a band that were courting so much attention from the national press and BBC Radio 2 and 6. However, for Belinda and Heidi, it was an invaluable opportunity to move into the shadows for a time and explore an alternative path of repose, reflection, listening and sharing, culminating in Shadows. Shadows conveys the vast expanse of human emotion, from tenderness to sensual melancholy, boundless joy and hope to anger and grief, from dogged determination and grit to the disturbing and deeply unsettling. Under careful consideration are those who live their lives in the dark, whilst others are gently lifted out of the dusk, from Belinda and Heidi's own, deeply personal shadows, to the crimes committed behind closed doors. At the core of the album is the Steinway grand piano, recorded at MOMA; the Museum of Modern Art, Machynlleth, interwoven with Belinda and Heidi's instinctual, close harmonies, which have been compared with the most celebrated harmony duos from early Simon & Garfunkel to the iconic Kate and Anna McGarrigle. They were recently praised by BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson; 'They sing together in the way that families do. Accompanying the duo on Shadows is a selection of highly expressive, sensitive musicians; Pete Flood (Bellowhead) contributes drums, percussion and sampled bicycle sounds, Michele Stodart (Magic Numbers) provides warm, lyrical electric guitar, bass and ebow, while Andy Seward (Kate Rusby Band) offers beautifully fluid double bass lines, Jude Abbott (Chumbawamba) adds sprinkles of trumpet and flugelhorn alongside the deceptively simple, stirring viola playing of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner Rowan Rheingans (Lady Maisery). Shadows is mixed by Neil Ferguson (Leveret, Coope Boyes & Simpson) and mastered by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering. ‘Normally you only get that kind of closeness in the voices with family bands like the Coppers and the Watersons' - Songlines, May 2016 ***** - The Guardian 'Formidably brilliant.' - Independent 'Brave, beautiful and full of love.' - Martin Simpson 'In the leading ranks of the new wave of folk music aristocracy.' - Tom Robinson Tracks: Colne Valley Hearts / Made in England / Blanket / The Needle and the Hand / Small, Big Love / Shadows / Beryl / The Pixie / Reapers / The Dark Rolling Sea / River Also Available: NMCD41 – ‘The Hum’ NMCD39 – ‘The Fragile’ Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] FOLK NEW RELEASE - 29/07/2016 Dan Wilde - Rhythm On The City Wall WLDSND059 0634158472183 CD WILD SOUND £7.99 FOLK ***Digital download distributed by Proper*** Originally from Blackpool, Dan now lives in Cambridge - but his wanderlust has taken him touring through the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Holland and the Czech Republic. He has recently returned from a six-month stint in Russia, where he recorded large chunks of this release.

Tour Dates 2016: Two albums in, the evidence is clear he's an extraordinary songsmith, while his 'stunning' guitar playing (Maverick Magazine) has led to an endorsement from Fylde guitars. Previous releases, 'This Is The Place' (2010) and 'With Fire in Mind' (2013), have cemented his reputation. It is his profound lyrics, melded with a unique melodic sensibility, which shows the writer maturing into a poetic commentator and keen observer of everyday life's patterns and tapestries in his songs akin to Damien Rice and David Gray. Dan's words have been described as "deeply personal and introspective but engrossing and charismatic" (Folkwords) and they reflect his peripatetic restlessness.

Ragtime came to public notice in the 1890s in America and, within months, Europe, too, fell under its spell. There were none of today's mass media methods of communicating music yet it spread like wildfire. As shown by Vic Gammon and his friends with the tunes in this collection, syncopation had existed in traditional tunes since at least the eighteenth century which begs the question were Scots playing ragtime years before Scott Joplin had his first piece published? Dr Vic Gammon recently retired from being Senior Lecturer in Folk and Traditional Music, but continues to be a guest member of staff at the International Centre for Music Studies at the Newcastle University. He is also a singer, plays concertina, melodeon, tenor banjo and mandolin and has recorded extensively. His 'friends' include Sandra Kerr ("Bagpuss'), noted fiddle player Stewart Hardy, Desi Wilkinson from the Irish band 'Cran' and BBC Folk Award nominee, Dan Walsh.

At one stage Seeger was facing a ten year prison sentence, but he managed to visit the UK in 1958. The concert was recorded and issued by the Folklore label which emanated out of the Dobell's record shop on Charing Cross road in West London. In 1964 he was back again and at one concert, at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, he was recorded again. *Digital download distributed by Proper* Both concerts on this set are typical Seeger material of that time. He talks about his friends Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie and champions new songwriters like Tom Paxton and Malvina Reynolds. The concerts also give a wonderful insight to how Seeger worked an audience and had them eating out of his hand. His ability to engage the audience is an object lesson for young performers. The Folklore LPs had limited circulation and the Manchester concert has never been heard before. The booklet comes with an informative essay about Pete Seeger by Joe Stead.

It features music of wide emotional compass by the pianist, and underlines her originality and resourcefulness as a jazz composer. "Saints Alive!" sets up animated conversations between the participants with striking statements from Steve Swallow's bass guitar and Andy Sheppard's soprano sax. The stately "Naked Bridges/Diving Brides" draws inspiration from Mendelssohn and the poetry of Paul Haines. And the powerful three-part title composition, which addresses the trials and tribulations of recovery from addiction, moves through sorrow to hopefulness and joy. This trio has been an ideal vehicle for Carla's writing for over two decades and also provides one of the best contexts for her unique piano playing. "Carla Bley is not just one of jazz history's most iconoclastic figures; she is also capable of turning the most moribund of topics into a cause for celebration… This three-part work is a life-affirming triumph." – The Times (four stars) "One of the greatest composers of the past half century and one of the few women of her stature in jazz." – Evening Standard (four stars) "A more personal, private and succinct album than its predecessor, Trios, it's just as captivating" – The Guardian (four stars) Tracks: Andando el Tiempo: Sin Fin / Andando el Tiempo: Potación de Guaya / Andando el Tiempo: Camino al Volver / Saints Alive! / Naked Bridges / Diving Brides Also Available: 4779711 – ‘Andando El Tiempo’ (CD Version) 3724551 – ‘Trios’ (CD) Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] JAZZ NEW RELEASE - 29/07/2016 Mats Eilertsen - Rubicon 4774315 602547743152 £8.99 CD ECM JAZZ Norwegian bassist Mats Eilertsen has been a strong and supportive presence on a dozen ECM sessions to date. With Rubicon he steps forward to present his own music, with an international cast. The album features compositions originally written in response to a commission from the Vossajazz Festival. All About Jazz reviewed the premiere performance: “Rubicon proved to be a very dynamic work. Eilertsen ensured that each of the instrumentalists took their share of the spotlight, brought together combinations of players that emphasized tonal variation, and created ensemble sections bursting with life.” After fine-tuning the material on tour, Mats brought his septet to Oslo’s Rainbow Studio, where Manfred Eicher produced this definitive version of Rubicon in May 2015.

Langeland, singer-harpist and verse-maker of Finnskogen in Eastern Norway, here looks at of regional traces and fragments of ideas about axis mundi, the world tree. “I have transformed these fragments and some parallel stories into songs that are encircled by instrumental passages and improvisations by the musicians. Mircea Eliade comments on axis mundi that, ‘every Microcosm, every inhabited region, has a Centre; that is to say, a place that is sacred above all.’” The Magical Forest was recorded at Oslo’s Rainbow Studio in February 2015, and produced by Manfred Eicher.

And it’s now avaialble on vinyl. The Italian duo is set to take 2016 by storm with a sensual, sumptuous and highly accomplished record, firmly anchored in the traditions of Brazilian bossa nova, samba and jazz. Stefania and Nicola first came together as members of the seminal 90s musical collective Fez, with Nicola leading the group. This period, one full of inspiration and discovery, laid the seeds for Natural. Though Stefania lent her enviable vocal talents to many bands over the years and Nicola went on to an illustrious production career, outside of a handful of tracks from Nicola's album Jet Sounds, it was not until now that the stars aligned again, allowing these two mercurial talents to merge their musical sensibilities once again to access the deep spirituality that is at the core of their approach to sound. Stefania's ongoing musical journey has ensured that her connection to, and understanding of jazz runs deep, as she resoundingly demonstrates throughout Natural. With Nicola once again in the production seat, the album serves as the defining showcase for her inimitable vocal talents. Alongside original compositions from Nicola and others, Natural also tantalisingly promises some inspired re-interpretations of classic Brazilian and jazz pieces: Trio Tenura's exemplary bossa groove A Gira and Steve Kuhn's beautiful The Meaning of Love are among the tracks respectfully imbued with an updated resonance.

Tour Dates 2016: 23rd Aug – The Spotted Dog, Birmingham 24th Aug – SUJC, Bournmouth 30th Aug – Pizza Express, Soho, London 31st Aug – The Lescar, Sheffield 07th Sep – Demsey's, Cardiff 11th Sep – Jazz East, Felixtowe 18th Sep – Future Inn, Bristol 20th Sep – Southampton Jazz Club Kristian has become well known for his rhythmically punchy yet clean and soothing tone. However, on this album he explores his interest for breaking up the guitar's pure sound, revealing a teenage passion for rock and fusion, which becomes apparent in the compositions themselves. “Islington Twilight”, “Everyman” and “When He Goes Out To Play” all have a dark rocky edginess, though there is still the Nordic beauty of Kristian's roots in his writing and playing. The title track is an earthy, almost folk-inspired waltz that develops with both instinct and logic intertwined while Nosda floats on an elegant groove with a spacious dreamy melody. Kristian's recent collaboration with pianist Bruno Heinen on their interpretative project Postcards To Bill Evans turned many heads in 2015 and acknowledged his great love and inspiration for the late guitarist Jim Hall. Fable is a nod to this through its groovy swing and understated melody and Cool It is based on Airegin, the famous composition of Sonny Rollins the sax legend with whom Hall so famously worked with in the sixties. Silent Storm is released on Jellymould Jazz, a record label dedicated to promoting exciting jazz artists based in the UK. These include Stan Sulzmann/Nikki Iles, Sam Leak's Aquarium, Hannes Riepler and Tim Thornton.

ROB was an enigmatic recording artist from Ghana who cut two albums for the legendary Essiebons label in 1977. This is the second and it has become prized amongst collectors in recent years. The title track from this LP was always one of the most popular on the first Soundway release Ghana Soundz and over the years Soundway have been asked many times to reissue the LP in it’s entirety. A stranger, slower offering than his more dancefloor funkladen and Spartan first LP, this record sees ROB in similar territory but with the tempo switched down and the introspection turned up. ROB’s trademark horns dominate and are supplied by the Mag-2, an army band founded by leader Amponsah Rockson, who named it after the army unit the band played for the “magnificent” second battalion. In 1977, Rob traveled to the coastal town of Takoradi in search of Mag-2, which had an entire section of its line-up dedicated to horns, with the intension of laying out his proposal to them. Luckily for Rob, the band took him up on it. With religious overtones and a broody, slightly off-key atmosphere at points it’s certainly one of the stranger afro-funk records to come out of West Africa but with tracks like Loose up Yourself and Make it Fast, Make it Slow he nails the funk for sure.

The electric-shock hair. The megawatt charisma. The golden lungs, magic fingers and party-starting songs. When this twenty-something Californian bandleader takes to the stage with The U.N., you'll get an adrenalin-shot of pure escapism. Happy Bastards is aptly titled. These twelve new songs are an industrialstrength blast of glass-half-full optimism, with the band's self-styled brand of party blues jostling with funk, soul, rock and roots. "I'm trying to bring a different interpretation of what people think the blues is," says Andy. "Not all blues need to be sad and lonesome. I love acts like Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye, Buddy Guy, The Band, Samantha Fish, Houndmouth - all these acts that really made the blues their own style". There have been great studio albums before - try 2014's acclaimed third release Half A Man - but none have bottled the band's frantic live energy quite like Happy Bastards. "We got the record produced by Rick Parker (Lord Huron, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Scott Weiland Band) and John Avila from Oingo Boingo," says Andy. "Having those guys on your side was huge. They get that we are a live band, so they set all of us up live and we basically all played together until we all got it right. It was an amazing thing to make a record like how they made records in the '70s". Co-written by the frontman, guitarist Shawn Eckels and Kenli Mattus, these all-original songs are emotionally resonant and rip-it-up exciting, driven by the chemistry between the core U.N. lineup of Ernie Chang (sax), Andee Avila (drums) and Supaman (bass). "I basically picked my favourite musicians from around the world," explains Andy of the cosmopolitan vibe. On tour in Europe in August 2016.

Now, with her dazzling third album, Honey For The Biscuit, the US singer/songwriter/musician unveils thirteen new songs that push her beloved genre into the spotlight. As the daughter of R&B trailblazer and Stax giant Johnnie Taylor, Tasha's genealogy is auspicious. And yet, while lesser talents might trade on that hallowed surname, Honey For The Biscuit is a personal statement bearing her own unique thumbprint. Recorded in LA, Tasha was joined in the studio with the core band. Tasha Taylor (Vocals, guitar, percussion), Nathan Watts (bass), John Notto (guitar), Jon Taylor (guitar), Don Wyatt (piano/organ) and Munjungo Jackson (percussion), Gerry Brown, Ronald Bruner & Stanley Randolph (drums), and Jamelle Williams, Matthew DeMeritt, & Lemar Buillary (horns). Honey For The Biscuit is a thrilling reboot of the great American genres, taking in soul, funk and every shade of blue. Special songs dovetail with special guests. There's the light-footed guitar lick and gang chants of Family Tree (featuring Keb' Mo'). The handclaps and doo-wop refrain of Little Miss Suzie (Robert Randolph guesting on lap steel). The full-throttle, funky ode to a cheating man on Leave That Dog Alone (Samantha Fish supplying fiery guitar/vocals). The brassy belt of Same Old Thing (Tommy Castro at the microphone). "I got very lucky and got some great friends to play," smiles Tasha. "Nice honey for my record..." In 2016, Tasha hits stages across Europe and America armed with Honey For The Biscuit: the breakout third record that realizes her potential, spreads the word about the genre she has always championed, and carries that magical surname into a bold new age. "If one person leaves with a new favorite song," she considers, "then I'm happy..." Tasha is on tour with Ruf Records' Blues Caravan 2016.

Kennedy. Who they were, how they supported their leader, and the price some of them paid for this unswerving devotion. Nowhere was the assassination of Kennedy more acutely felt than in his ancestral homeland of Ireland. What was known as Kennedys' "Irish Mafia" became the key advisors surrounding the President. People like the affable Dave Powers, the clinical Kenny O'Donnell and the strategist Larry O'Brien - men selected for their loyalty and devotion to JFK and his family. This group helped him win the Presidency, grieved for his passing and provided political support to his successors for decades afterwards. This award winning documentary features interviews with key witnesses to the Kennedy Presidency, as well as professional and amateur archive footage and new scenes of the locations. ‘The Kennedys' Irish Mafia’ is a stunning recollection about one of the most remarkable periods in modern history.

All the group members were well known in their own right with Tony Burrows having sung lead vocal on "Love Grows" Edison Lighthouse (1970 UK number 1), White Plains UK 1970 Top 10 hit single "My Baby Loves Loving" and also as The Pipkins "Gimme Dat Ding" - UK 1970 number 6. David Martin was a successful songwriter with his songs being recorded by The Carpenters, Barry Manilow ("Can't Smile Without You"), Elvis Presley to David Essex. He also found time to form a band with his song writing partners called Butterscotch who made UK Top 20 in 1970 with "Don't You Know". David also was lead vocalist for the single "There's A Whole Lot Of Loving" by GUYS And DOLLS (UK number 2, 1975). Sue And Sunny were in demand session singers performing in the studios with Elton John, Mott The Hoople, Joe Cocker, David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Donna Summer to countless others. Sunny even had a hit single "Doctors Orders" in 1974-UK number 7. 19 tracks from the 70's on this album plus a bonus track of "Golden Yearz" written by David Martin recorded in 2016 and featuring David, Tony and Ron Dante (lead singer The Archies).

He traveled, he taught. And he also made an album, 2013's Songs for a Traveler, that featured great songs from our country's heartland, dating back to 1850 and moving up as far as 1950. Then, after producing the artists Bernardo Palombo and French artist, Leopold, Carter immersed himself in the songbooks of Country greats, Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard and Ray Price. And then the boy knew it was time to put together Lead me to the Water. This remarkable album is where Carter's various influences cohere into a consistent, kickass collection. From the jump you know you're hearing something special. And that's because of the exquisite support from a bunch of first-rate players. Whether it's Andy Hess (Gov't Mule, Black Crowes) grooving on the bass, Diego Voglino (Marshall Crenshaw) holding it down on the drums, Steve Elliott (Shooter Jennings) lending snaky guitar lines or Sasha Dobson (Norah Jones), cooing background vocals, 'Water' has a full screen, spacious, wide-open sound. And then there are the songs. From the first moments of the leadoff track "Lead Me To The Water," which immediately haunts the listener with its crying steel guitar, to the precisely-picked acoustic gem, "Where Did You Go?" to the contentious "Bone To Pick,' this album by The Looking has its roots not just in Country and Indie-Rock, but immaculate '70s singer-songwriter classics by Jackson Browne and JD Souther.

Only a handful play Merseybeat, and even fewer are so-called ‘Shadows bands’. And then we have Perry Dear and the Deerstalkers… They operate within a timeframe that goes from April 1962 to circa December 1963, when 6-string bass instrumentals had their heyday. Today this is an almost forgotten genre, but for a little more than one year’s time this was a serious competitor to both the Shadows-type bands and to Merseybeat, which really took off during 1963. The genre’s characteristics is first and foremost that the solo instrument is a 6-string bass (but not a baritone guitar) and that the musical arrangements, as well as the instrumentation, are a bit more ‘advanced’ than with pure Shadows-type bands and beat bands. It’s therefore with pride that Jansen Plateproduksjon now are releasing three records with this group. Its members' previous merits go from instrumental rock in groups like Kåre & the Cavemen, Mobsmen and Burt Rocket, to more typical Merseybeat, or just beat music, in Peter Berry & the Shake Set and The Indikation. But all five of them agree that Perry Dear and the Deerstalkers’ music is some of the best they’ve produced so far.

Finding that 100% organically grown with no artificial rhymes can be difficult. This album is for those looking for something less calculated. Powerful production runs the range from soulful, funk filled, and hard knocking to cool, laid back easy nodders. The rhymes are politically aware without taking themselves too serious - so from the occasional judo chop to the need for sexy, dirty slutty money - Denmark explores life from the perspective of a man who grew up on minimum wage and butter sandwiches but has grown into a self-aware scholar. Lyrics don't sugar coat anything -no matter how rough that truth might appear: "The fleek shall inherit the Earth and the meek shall be buried in dirt - ain't nothing sweet." Denmark delivers existential truths while still throwing in a "where the hoes at?" A street savvy album that explores Black love, brutality, capitalism's grip on our daily thoughts, and the connection it all has to our ancestors. Gensu Dean has produced for David Banner, Large Professor, Roc Marciano, and more, while Denmark Vessey has had his praises sung by the likes of Earl Sweatshirt. Featuring Iman Omari & 7evenThirty,.

For several years he has directed the festival Nuova Musica Italiana e Nuova Musica Internazionale in Rome. Daniele Lombardi has taught piano at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan. Thirty-four plaques containing fragments of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy are dotted around the historical centre of Florence. They were placed there at the beginning of the 1900s and were intended as a reminder of those people and places that had left their mark on the city and its history: a few lines from the boundless ocean of the poem floating adrift. Divina.com was written as a mixed media piece to be sung by David Moss and comprises ensemble, live electronics and video. It was premiered on 5 July 2004 in front of Michelangelo’s David at Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia. The current audio edition is the live recording of that event. Divina.com comprises thirty-six episodes, one for each epigraph and a further two, which refer to Michelangelo, who had written some of Dante’s verses next to the sketches in two of his drawings. The various excerpts are in syntactical order linked to the unfolding of the composition.

Höller has received numerous awards, and many works were written as commissions from prominent ensembles.

Wohlhauser (composition, piano, baritone, conductor) was born in 1954 and grew up in Brienz (Switzerland). Experiences as a rock and jazz musician, accompanist and improviser have accompanied and continue to accompany his principal activity as a composer of contemporary art music (including chamber, orchestral and stage works). He received his training at the Basel Academy of Music, studying with Robert Suter, Jacques Wildberger and Thomas Kessler, also attending composition courses with Kazimierz Serocki, Mauricio Kagel, Herbert Brün and Heinz Holliger. Duo Simolka–Wohlhauser, from Basel, specializes in the interpretation of contempo-rary vocal music and carries out annual tours of Switzerland and various major European cities (e.g. Basel, Bern, Zurich, Stuttgart, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, Salzburg). Its fundamental concern is to bring current vocal works from the field of contemporary music to the stage, and thus give this genre new impulses for further development.

Up to the present day, this oldest concert series for New Music still brings together the world's most important artists - conductors and interpreters alike - in the field of new and the newest music, also continuing to set new standards for the interpretation of new classical music with the outstanding Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. The SACD presented here is a good example of this: Ligeti's Lontano - a classic! Murail's Piano Concerto completed in 2012 - interpreted by Pierre-Laurent Aimard - and Benjamin's Palimpsests of 2002. All three works conducted by George Benjamin himself - one can't do any better than that! Tracks: Ligeti: Lontano For Large Orchestra Tristan Murail: Le Désenchantement Du Monde.
