Deathhammer is the eighth studio album by Dutch death/doom band Asphyx. The album was released on February 27, 2012 in Europe and February 28, 2012 in USA through Century Media. It's also the last studio album to feature founding member Bob Bagchus, who left from the band in order to spend more time with his family and replaced by Stefan Hüskens. … Above all this, Martin van Drunen delivers yet another fantastic vocal performance, demonstrating with ease why he is among the most singular, powerful, and popular death metal vocalists of all-time.

Bernard Herrmann was an American composer best known for his work in composing for motion pictures. As a conductor, he championed the music of lesser-known composers. An Academy Award-winner, Herrmann is particularly known for his collaborations with director Alfred Hitchcock, most famously Psycho, North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Vertigo. He also composed scores for many other movies, including Citizen Kane, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Cape Fear, and Taxi Driver.

Alghazanth's third full length album. A dynamic mixture of aggressive and majestic black metal elements. Alghazanth is an artistic entity channeling the twin stream of all-devouring Darkness and the profound Enlightenment that lies hidden therein. The core of this beast is Black Metal, majestic atmosphere forms the flesh around its bones and Occult Satanism runs through its veins. Though its faces have been many and the shape has shifted often, its current manifestation harbours five damned souls in its flaming heart.

"Anticlockwise" is one of those few albums where power meets melody. Produced and mixed by Bob Gramm and Lorenzo Deho' (Time Machine) "Anticlockwise" features aggressive guitars, easy-to-listen vocal lines and, above all, massive drum work. Songs composed in an extremely mature way gather in an excellent album that one could hardly detect as a debut work. Properly arranged and rich of "catchy" riffs, this album offers the listener an incredibly wide range of sounds and musical situations. Sudden keyboard breaks ease the pressure generated by hammering combinations between guitars and drums, linked by appropriate bass lines.

Reissue of a successful Brilliant Classics box set.
Includes the complete string quartets (of course featuring the ever popular American Quartet) as well as the shorter works for string quartet, music which speaks of the beauty of Bohemia, the woods, the streams, the flowers and the rich folklore.

Ils n'avaient pas de poil au menton mais ne pensaient qu'a ça, ces indigènes brésiliens encore pubères. Pour entrer par la grande porte dans la famille des adultes, ces jeunots, un beau jour, se levaient avant l'aube pour s' engouffrer, la peur au ventre, dans la forêt vierge. Leur mission ? Ramener des plumes, les plus vives, les plus longues, arrachées aux aras, ces perroquets vertigineux d' humour, gardiens de la forteresse verte, l'Amazonie qu'on sait. Leur forfait accompli, nos galopins étaient déclarés bons pour le service, considérés enfin comme des humains a part entière. Cettequétede l'absolu,rlecequ'en Occidentnous intitulons volontiers le Graal, legroupe belge, «Sables», la pratique depuis peu. Quasi novice, le voici néanmoins qui nous offre, avec «Aratribu», une magnifique leçon de bon appétit. Pierre Jacob, Geoff Leigli, Pierre Narcisse et Francis Danlou n' y vont pas parquatre chemins'pournous signaler leursouci d'ouverture. S' ils prennent appui, ici et la, sur des admirations flagrantes, tels Milton Nascimento, Sade, les balançoires et les oiseaux, c' est tout bonnement pour nous faire toucher du doigt leurpropre personnalité. Ils prennent mais donnent plus encore.

Born in the Ukraine in 1937, Nikolai Kapustin has written over 160 works, most of them involving the piano of which he is himself a skilled performer. Though his music has been associated with the ‘Third Stream’ that brings together jazz and classical idioms (a term first coined by the American musician and polymath Gunther Schuller), Kapustin rejects the term for himself: ‘the classical part is more important. The jazz style is there to give colour – I don’t like jazz ‘forms’… which is why I've adopted those from classical music.’

The concept behind Forbidden Flute is to present the flutes in a variety of musical settings: solo, duo, trio, trio plus percussion and quartet. Many modern flute techniques are used to create melodic and harmonic effects. All the sounds that are heard on these performances are produced naturally - no electronic effects have been added. I was very fortunate to be accompanied on this cd by outstanding musicians who are among the very best on the European jazz scene.

Not just Piazzolla: there are 13 composers represented here, many of them hardly known outside their native Argentina, giving this newly recorded set a unique place in the record catalogue. Anyone seduced by the smoky harmonies and the sensual rhythms of the tango will discover hidden treasure.

At their most inspired, the artists on ZE found some middle ground between immensely accessible disco-pop and the avant-garde, without ever falling down the middle of the road. Music that appealed to Highlights-reading six year olds as well as their Village Voice-reading parents wasn't particularly common back then surely there are no modern-day parallels and it's just one of the voids that the ZE label filled, fostered by a very direct collision between the novelty of pop and the possibilities of artful experimentation.

This was improvised in Hamburg Germany with prominent German players and Paul Lamb. A spacious cross between krautrock and the Canterbury sound, this instrumental disc a favorite of many Burnt Noodle fans.

A European ambient/dub sampler issued in 1996 featuring The Scarab,Underworld, Kraftwelt, Audio Science and more. This compilation is one of the least-known, but is also incredible. It is wonderful for calming emotions and for relaxation. One can simlpy lie down to listen and be fulfilled with the bliss this electronic music can produce.

For his expected return to the format iconic of the trio, the French pianist surrounds himself with a rhythmic top-flight and sign a series of original compositions dedicated to all those who constitute his family (kinship) music. A living tribute to all those who, in Paris as in New York, are beating the jazz in the Twenty-first century, by one of the most unusual pianists of today.
