Some of the best instrumental compositions and record engineering I have ever heard! Nice! Lot's of separation of instruments in the mix and cool songs! A great choice for musicians and non-musicians.

Stéphanie Moraly débute le violon à l’âge de 6 ans et fait montre d’un talent précoce. Élève de Suzanne Gessner au CRR de Paris, elle remporte son premier concours à 10 ans et, à 11, donne son premier récital, obtient le Premier Prix du Concours Jeunes Prodiges Mozart et se produit en soliste aux Théâtres des Champs-Elysées et du Châtelet à Paris, ainsi qu’à Prague. A 16 ans, elle entre au Conservatoire de Paris dans la classe de Sylvie Gazeau, en sort avec un Premier Prix à 19, et part ensuite se perfectionner avec Michèle Auclair au New England Conservatory de Boston.

La Dottrina degli Opposti is a creative project by the Genoese musician Andrea Lotti, composer and author of the pieces, as well as the founder of the La Coscienza di Zeno group. The ensemble formed for the realization of the project sees the participation of more than thirty elements, including members from different progressive formations already established in the sector, such as La Conscienza di Zeno and the Tempio delle Clessidre, and the orchestra of the G.F. Ghedini from Cuneo…

Polish singer and songwriter Basia became prominent during the 1980s, first for her membership in the polished British pop-jazz vocal outfit Matt Bianco, and later as a solo artist. Her first three wildly successful recordings – which sold by the truckload in the U.S. and U.K. – made her something of a household name during the MTV era. Her Brazilian-influenced jazzy soul helped to create a standard of excellence in adult contemporary on par with peers Everything But the Girl, Swing Out Sister, Level 42, and Sade. She all but disappeared after the '90s, but did take part in a reunion with her former band for 2004's acclaimed Matt's Mood. In 2009, she returned to solo recording with It's That Girl Again. The album resonated with longtime fans, but failed to rival the large sales of her earlier outings, perhaps due to a transitioning industry landscape.

After its début as soloist with the director Zubin Mehta in the concert of celebration of 70 birthdays of your Majesty Reina of Spain, Ann Maria Valderrama has devoted herself like one of the most acclaimed Spanish violinists of the moment and a clear emergent value of the European musical panorama.

Filmtrax will release a soundtrack album for the sci-fi thriller Anon. The album features the film’s original music composed by Christophe Beck (Ant-Man, Frozen, Edge of Tomorrow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Hangover, The Muppets). The soundtrack will be released digitally tomorrow, May 18 and will be available to download on Amazon, where you can also check out audio samples. Anon is written and directed by Andrew Niccol and stars Clive Owen, Amanda Seyfried, Colm Feore and Sony Walger. The movie is set in a future where technology has rendered privacy obsolete and follows a detective who investigates a serial assassin who has been deleted from all visual records. The thriller was released earlier this month in the U.S. and most other markets on Netflix and in the UK in select theaters and on Sky.

Melissa Parmenter is an accomplished composer, pianist and producer. She has scored a number of media productions including Comes A Bright Day (Timothy Spall, Impogen Poots, Craig Roberts), Hello Carter (Dominic Cooper, Antonia Campbell-Hughes) and Genova (Colin Firth, Willa Holland), as well as the critically acclaimed feature film The Killer Inside Me, which was directed by Michael Winterbottom and starred Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson and Casey Affleck.

The early-2000s renaissance of Marcos Valle was a delight for his fans, especially those who had long held onto hopes that they'd hear more to rival his late-'60s and early-'70s prime. Curiously quiet after a 2005 live album, though, it seemed that Valle had gone back into hibernation. He returned with a bang, however, on 2010's Estática, which is nearly everything his fans had been looking for. The songwriting is bright and memorable, the production style unifies the best of his sunny late-'60s style and his innovative early-'70s prime, and Valle's strong personality is at the center of it all. (The latter is especially welcome, since he'd seemed relatively detached on some of his 2000s records.)
