J. P. Rameau - Les Boréades & Dardanus (Suites) - Frans Brüggen, The Orchestra of the 18th Century
Classical | APE + Cue | 1 CD, covers, booklet | 245 MB RS
Philips - 10/1990

"A mythic tale of a young queen who chooses to abdicate her throne rather than be forced into a marriage with a descendant of Boreas, god of the North Wind.
Les Boréades was abandoned in rehearsals at the Paris Opera in 1763 for reasons unclear to this day. Rameau died the following year and the work disappeared from puplic view."

"Dardanus was first performed at the Académie de musique in Paris on November 19, 1739. It received 26 performances, mainly because of the support from Rameau's followers in the dispute between the styles of Rameau and Lully.
Critics accused Rameau's original opera of lacking a coherent plot. The inclusion of the sea monster also violated the French operatic convention of having a clear purpose for encounters with supernatural beings."

Carl Perkins - Go Cat Go! (1996)
Label: Dinosaure 1996 | Duration: 52:35 | All Covers | MP3 @320 kbps | 123 MB
Genre: Rock'n'Roll/Oldies

This album is a curious mixture; it isn't really a Carl Perkins album per se' as it is an all-star tribute album with some of the big name guests actually getting to interface with their hero. Both John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix appear via the grave and the tape vaults, contributing their own versions of "Blue Suede Shoes" to the proceedings. And Carl works in tandem with live guests Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Bono, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Fogerty, and Paul Simon in right fine fashion. But the bottom line is that the real star of the show is Perkins himself, just playing and singing in a most masterful and rockin' way. If stars of this magnitude are tipping their hat, Carl shows on this waxing that their idolatry is well placed.
