Djavan's first recorded LP, released in 1976, originated one year earlier, when he was awarded second place at TV Globo's Festival Abertura for his song "Fato Consumado." The following year came this album, which contained one of his biggest hits, "Flor de Lis," along with his previous award-winning song. The highlights are the wonderful melodies, the musical sonority of his lyrics (it even doesn't matter if you understand them, as his focus is on its musicality), the smart violão of Djavan, and the rich rhythmic interplay between voice and violão. All of the compositions are great, exploring from samba to baião, and, more importantly, it's mostly an acoustic band album, with cool touches of a Rhodes.

Standing out in new tracks are thrilling action cues: powerful Rambo style "Meet Monroe Kelly" airport escape cue, intense "Help Me" where Tim Curry meets his violent end.

After their highly acclaimed The Blood Of The Berry, this is the second album in the trilogy. Not worse nor better than their previous one, the music on this album borrows a lot from Pink Floyd in their "relaxed" approach to music. Soaring solo's, well sung harmony vocals, good (but similar) melodies and once in a while an outburst in the music help making this album into what it is: a collection of strongly related thoroughly melodic and enjoyable songs.

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, DIAMOND DAWN looked like a great promise when in 2011 the band presented their first single.

Diamond Dawn plays unpolluted, pure, uncompromising classic Melodic Rock in the best '80s AOR style.

Unsurprisingly for an artist as prolific and strident as Bryn Jones was, the flood of material he sent to labels and compatriots was not always carefully categorized. Also, sometimes he would be so eager to release material that if things didn’t happen fast enough he’d just send in another tape. And that circumstance is how you wind up with a fascinating oddity like Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

Sing Slowly Sisters was to have been Robin Gibb's second studio album. The album was not released until 2015 due to thousands of Robin's adoring fans. The album was produced by Gibb and his manager Vic Lewis.

If beauty is truth and truth beauty, then the Quartetto Italiano's late-'60s, early-'70s cycle of the complete Beethoven string quartets is possibly the most truthful cycle ever recorded because it is certainly the most beautiful cycle ever recorded. No quartet has ever played with such consummate beauty of tone, such ideal intonation, and such superb ensemble as the Quartetto Italiano. In the most strenuous passages, in the most awkward, in the most excruciating passages, the Italiano is always and everywhere transcendentally beautiful.

The outing featured the drummer's all-star sextet (which consisted of trumpeter Richard Williams, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, trombonist Julian Priester, pianist Mal Waldron, and bassist Art Davis) joined by a vocal choir conducted by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson and orchestrated by Roach (who contributed all six originals). Unlike most other collaborations, the choir was not overly gospel-oriented and was utilized as a sort of jazz ensemble.
