Here is an Italian five piece band that released this album in 1993. Unfortunately it turned out to be their swangsong. Theatre performed an elaborate and melodic Neo/Symphonic Progressive Rock similar to Marillion and Tonko's later formation Moongarden with strong vintage influences. With a decent Italian vocalist like Ricky Tonko it is reasonable the band to throw in plenty of nice lyrical textures among their symphonic leanings.Generally the album flows into a smooth and polished atmosphere, alternating between dramatic Marillion-esque and some warmer moments and containing series of wel-crafted melodies. The tracks are quite long, fully developing Theatre's ideas, and having an attractive sound based on the organ themes, the careful use of synthesizers and the melodic guitar solos…

Electric bassist Jammaladeen Tacuma's debut as a leader is still his best recording to date. A brilliant free funk player who excels in laying down some eccentric funk in overcrowded ensembles, Tacuma is heard in six different settings on this album. His own group (a quintet with altoist James Watkins and guitarist Rick Iannacone) plays four noisy numbers; he takes "Tacuma Song" as an unaccompanied bass feature; is backed by the Ebony String Quartet, a harp, and pianist Anthony Davis on "The Bird of Paradise"; is accompanied by four percussionists on "From the Land of Sand"; and has a couple of jams featuring altoist Julius Hemphill, cornetist Olu Dara, and guitarist James "Blood" Ulmer. Stimulating and unpredictable music.

Vienna Concert is a live solo piano album by American pianist Keith Jarrett, released on the ECM label in 1992. It was recorded in concert on July 13, 1991 at the Vienna Staatsoper in Vienna, Austria. It has a forty-two-minute arch-like opening movement that exhibits a much greater debt to classical music than Jarrett's earlier improvised concerts. Jarrett himself wrote in the liner notes to this album: "I have courted the fire for a very long time, and many sparks have flown in the past, but the music on this recording speaks, finally, the language of the flame itself.

Italian symphonic power metal kings RHAPSODY OF FIRE will release their new album, "The Eighth Mountain", on February 22, 2019. The disc will be the band's first collection of brand new material to feature vocalist Giacomo Voli and drummer Manu Lotter, who joined RHAPSODY OF FIRE in 2016.

The record is a heavy blend of Afrobeat, Afro Funk, and Caribbean sounds. After the record was completed in 1979, King gave a sub-master and the album art slick to Plastic Fantastic Records to release…
