American listeners tend to remember Shocking Blue as the one-hit wonder behind the chart-topper "Venus," a melting pot of rock rhythms, country guitar licks, organ riffs, and Mariska Veres' heavily accented vocals…

What we have here are Miaskovsky’s 27 symphonies with two overtures, two early tone poems (one after Poe; the other, Shelley), three sinfoniettas, one serenade, one Divertissement, one Concertino Lirico, one Slav Rhapsody and a piece called Links. It’s all the music for orchestra apart from the two concertos and choral works with orchestra (Kirov is With Us and Kremlin by Night). Note that the version of the Sixth Symphony here is the ……

Streets is a rock band that Kansas vocalist STEVE WALSH formed in the 80s. They released two albums for Atlantic Records starting with 1983's 1st, and 1985's Crimes in Mind. The former featured the hit If Love Should Go, but both albums didn't do very well in the sales market, and Atlantic dropped them in 1985. Wounded Bird Records reissued both the band's albums on CD in 2002. "1st" is the debut album by American rock band Streets, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music).

There are bands in rock history that came oh-so-close to making it, who just never broke through for one reason or another. Chicago power pop champions Enuff Z'Nuff was one such band, but in their case, you can easily point out their fatal flaw. When they first burst on the scene during the late '80s, the group had little in common musically with the then-thriving glam metal movement, as their prime influences were the Beatles and fellow Chicagoans Cheap Trick. But, as evidenced by their first few videos – "New Thing" and "Fly High Michelle" – the quartet made the mistake of getting so dolled up that they made even Pretty Boy Floyd blush…

Kill That Girl are three guys and one girl are from Viareggio, Italia. They are playing "the same three chords" since 2006. Being big fans of Manges, Kill That Girl, one of many bands in an obscure position even in this anonymous punk community we call "the underground," are unfortunately an unknown identity in this mostly un-rocking musical era along with many other great bands just trying to make it.

The 3 amigos from Wien/Klagenfurt, Austria take you on another trip in their van, where they play Ramones and gear up for tonight's punkrock party in some dive bar. Matt's raspy vocals and buzzsaw guitar, Mike's beach boyee backings and hard-hitting drums and whoever plays bass these days. They even have a keyboard! Another European classic for you.

For scientists, the Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth is like with a diameter of 3476 km and an apparent magnitude of -12.74. For Leidenschaftler he is a poetic companion at night, which directs the feelings and tide with his regular waxing and waning. "The Moon On My Doorstep", the new, now sixth album of singer-songwriter Ulita Knaus, this dream-moon brings us closer than ever. It's their personal work, enormously generous and of immense size. With their intimate jazz songs brings us Ulita Knaus not only the stars from the sky, but like the whole moon. Here, the "new hope of Jazz" (FAZ) is more international than ever…

Tianna Hall's 3rd album release, her debut for label Blue Bamboo Music, is her most versatile yet. She opens the album with "My Blue Heaven" & "I Wanna Be Around" swinging the paint off the walls with collaborators Mike Wheeler & Mike Nase on guitars. Third on the collection is the title track, "Never Let Me Go", a lush arrangement by producer/guitarist Mike Wheeler that showcases Tianna's vocal depth and features cellist Lisa Vosdoganes. Another highlight, Jobim's "Samba Do Avaio" might lead you to think that you are listening to another vocalist altogether…
