Although from different generations and styles, the three works on this disc are a good sample of Madrid’s avant-garde and musical concerns of the last thirty years, preoccupations and creative concepts which, from the traditional and classical reminiscences of Tomás Marco’s Concierto para violonchelo y orquesta (1974-1976), culminate and come to fullness in the perfect and meticulous language of Olavide’s Tránsito (1992) and Adagio con variaciones (sobre un Adagio de Hugo Wolf) by Alfredo Aracil (1997).

After racking up their biggest success to date with We're an American Band, Grand Funk Railroad decided to keep a good thing going by retaining Todd Rundgren as their producer and continuing to push their sound in a pop/rock direction…

With everything from classic blues and swinging standards to delicate ballads and modal tempests, there are definitely all the makings of new classic here.

Sorry, no english review. Charlotte Wassy nous présente son premier album « NIAM », comprenez «soleil », son surnom dans le dialecte Camerounais de son père. Fille du célèbre batteur et percussionniste Brice Wassy, (Salif Keita, Manu Dibango…), Charlotte, bercée par les rythmes traditionnels du Cameroun et d’ailleurs, s’approprie, partage et sublime ce superbe héritage. Se posant peu de questions, elle laisse plutôt jaillir les rythmes et mélodies qui grondent en elle, faisant fusionner les sons ethniques et les sons Jazz.

'All the Shades of Darkened Light' is the eagerly anticipated second album from the Finnish hard rock group Free Spirit. With this new album the band continues from where it left with its critically acclaimed debut album. The 11 new songs with huge choruses are even more melodic and energetic than before. They tell the story of a summer where days are bright and nights are hot. High octane parties seem to go on forever, but for some they carry a price that is too high.

Whether you’ve had the pleasure of having Acheron grace your ear drums in the last 25 years or not, Kult Des Hasses is the coup de grace for Vincent Crowley and his band of Satanic merry men.Acheron‘s goal for Kult Des Hasses was to “get the true ’80s/’90s death metal feel and sound, not the overproduced metal approaches of today.” I would say they achieved that, but still held the production in very high regard. This album is full of chunky, groovy guitar riffs, which fit together perfectly with Crowley’s traditional death metal growl. Deicide meets Asphyx is my best explanation of it.

This disc was the continuation of 'Rhythms of the South'. Edmundo, with the participation of Roland Shaw in the arrangements, performs again with his orchestra another impressive series of musical ideas, very rich and varied and instrumentally accompanied by a rhythm section unsurpassed. The repertoire of twelve Latin issues offers warm rhythms (cha-cha, mambo, samba, bossanova, baiao, tango, merengue, creole waltz, bolero or beguine) and vibrant rhythms (pasodoble and march). The result is a display of great orchestra providing a musical fantasy to enjoy even dancing.
