This CD reflects the finest of the fifties and remains timeless. You will hear early Brubeck when life was new and everything fresh. His early sidemen were really into it. This group had its own passport to inner space. You get fun and serenity both on this CD.

Mauricio Kagel is a conductor, writer, teacher and self-taught composer, initially influenced by avant-garde figures such as Boulez and Stockhausen. 'Szenario,' scored for string orchestra and tape, was conceived as an independent work, but quickly found a new role as musical backing to the Luis Bunuel/Salvador Dali silent classic 'Le chien andalou'. Duodramen can be heard either as an orchestral song-cycle in the tradition of Mahler or as an operatic 'final scene' in the tradition of Wagner or Richard Strauss. Composed during 1989-90, 'Liturgien' is Kagel's take on a sacred service so as to illuminate its musical essence from a new perspective.

They took their name from the first line of The Band's classic song "The Weight" ("I pulled into Nazareth / Was feelin' about half past dead…") Snakes 'N' Ladders is a 1989 album by hard rock band Nazareth. It was released on Vertigo Records.

- Ну почему ты, сестра моя любимая, всегда в тени? Почему не покажешь своё прекрасное лицо? Ты всегда тревожна и грустна, ты мрачно потакаешь самым низменным желаниям, ты взрываешь ночь, ты выплёскиваешь страх, холод и ужас… Люди называют тебя Чёрной Луной. Почему, Лилит?
- Если бы я не была такой, моя прекрасная Селена, мир не познал бы Белую Луну, и не вкусил бы твоей красоты и доброты, твоего Света и не ждал бы тебя с такой надеждой, верой и любовью.
