Here's more proof that Weather Report actually became a more potent, life-affirming musical force after the departures of its best-known sidemen. Things begin on an oddly commercial note with a pop song "Can It Be Done," sung by Carl Anderson, that actually lays out Weather Report's credo, searching for sounds never heard before. Then Joe Zawinul and company get down to business with the funky "D-Flat Waltz," marked by Omar Hakim's flamboyantly complex drumming. Zawinul's synthesizer textures become thicker and more flexible with the help of newly-introduced digital instruments, and the funk element in general becomes more pronounced than on any record since Tale Spinnin'.

"Weather Report" was the last album for the Pastorius-Erskine rhythm section. Recorded at the Power Plant in New York in the summer of 1981, most of the music had been played during the band's spring tour, capped by a triumphant performance at the Playboy Jazz Festival in Los Angeles in June. "It was a late afternoon set, and we tore the place apart," Peter Erskine recalled. "The band just came out and killed."

German death metallers DEAD EYED SLEEPER released their third album, "Observing Oblivion". According to a press release, the CD "contains eight tracks with a clear focus on emotional brutality, massive grooves and aggressive intensity."

All the way from San Diego, California the Death Metal band “Pathology,” latest release is “The Time of Great Purification.” This is the bands third studio album released through Victory Records. Formed in 2006 the band since then established their sound and proved they are just getting better every day and are here to show everyone in the metal scene that they are a force to be wrecken with.Over all “The Time Of Great Purification,” was a very awesome album. After being the bands third one it goes to show that they really know their sound as a band and are perfecting it along the way. As a fan you can see the bands evolution and deeper thinking from the theme, to the album artwork and more. These talented young guys really put their blood sweat and heart into this album. Everyone should go pick up a copy and listen to some great death metal.

This two-DVD set is jam-packed with over three hours of footage consisting of live performances along with six music videos and memorable behind-the-scenes interviews. With their progressive metal style and exceptional musicianship, Dream Theater grew to prominence with their MTV hit "Pull Me Under" (available for the first time on DVD here) in 1992. During that time, Dream Theater developed a rabid fan base that remains with them today.

Diapason d'Or de l'Année - 2011 This final volume in a complete set, begun ten years ago by Alpha, presents the last of the major works composed for large instrumental forces by J. S. Bach. It includes the pastoral colours of the horns and oboes in the First Brandenburg Concerto BWV 1046, his Harpsichord Concerto in A major BWV 1053, the fine Orchestral Suite no. 4 in D major BWV 1069, and finally, bringing the set to a close, the marvellous Concerto for four harpsichords in A minor BWV 1065.

By Rossini’s time this genre was classified into a rigidly defined series of conventions: a drama with a happy ending, in which the innocent victim, unjustly condemned, should be saved from the scaffold at the eleventh hour and the rascal persecutor punished. The social setting of these operas always delt with a conflict between a feudal aristocracy ( that in La Gazza Ladra is replaced by arrogant welders of power ) and a world of humble people , nearly always peasants. - Known as ’The Thieving Magpie’ in English, La Gazza Ladra deals with a servant girl accused of stealing some silverware with which the magpie of the title has actually absconded for its nest. Seemingly lightweight, the opera was rooted in a true story in which a young woman was actually put to death for the bird’s ”crime”.
