By 1982's Creatures of the Night, Kiss had finally ditched their plans of becoming "respectable artists" (starting with 1979's Dynasty) and had come to the realization that they were a loud, no-holds-barred heavy metal band. Easily their best since 1977's Love Gun, Creatures of the Night contains very little filler and sounds as if Kiss had been reborn (it also includes one of the heaviest drum sounds ever captured in the studio by any rock band)…

This 23-song compilation was a choice European release when it first appeared as a double-LP from Polydor in 1983, partly because of the cool looking cover, but also for doing the welcome job of assembling together the A- and B-sides of all of the Jimi Hendrix singles released between January 1967 and 1983…

Filled with vocoders, stylish neo-electro beats, dalliances with trip-hop, and, occasionally, eerie synthesized atmospherics, Music blows by in a kaleidoscopic rush of color, technique, style, and substance…

Lisa Stansfield is an English singer, songwriter and actress. This box is a perfect way to collect the "first" era of Lisa's discography at Arista! All albums are clearly remasters as 2 Cd sets with remixes and -some- rare tracks… It ends with a 3Cds remixes compilation of remixes that makes it nearly awesome! The only things missing here are some single edits (Maybe Edsel thinks of it for a new compilation?), a bunch of remixes, and some collaboration tracks that did not belongs to Arista… and obviously the "very first" Lisa's recording when she was so young…

In this first full length album release, Urban Nature beautifully performs on a variety of instruments including bamboo and Native American flutes, guitar, voice, tabla, sarod, zither, slot drum, jaw harp, and percussion.

Chandelier are a German Neo-Prog band and "Pure" is their debut from 1990. ''Pure'' presents the very familiar sound of accesible neo progressive rock with melodic keyboards around,strong lyrical content and generally an emotional atmosphere. Comparisons and echoes of the album brings bands like Jadis, Twelfth Night and even IQ in mind. This is a release with much a song-based orientation with Martin Eden sounding like a German imitator of Peter Nicholls of IQ or even FISH, of course with a slight accent. The keyboard work in here is carefully balanced, far from any trace of virtuosity, while guitars are also very distinctive, creating fine melodies and presenting some rocking grooves from time to time…
