Sigismondo d'India, 'nobleman of Palermo', as he called himself, composer, singer and poet, was a true child of dawning century. Like his great contemporary Monteverdi, he succeeded in integrating polyphony into the new monodic style. But it is above all in his Musiche da cantar solo that he showed his measure as an innovator. These madrigals for solo voice, selected from around a hundred works he wrote in this genre, provide dazzling evidence of the fact.

While Def Leppard had obviously wanted to write big-sounding anthems on their previous records, Pyromania was where the band's vision coalesced and gelled into something more. More than ever before, the band's songs on Pyromania are driven by catchy, shiny melodic hooks instead of heavy guitar riffs, although the latter do pop up once in a while. But it wasn't just this newly intensified focus on melody and consistent songwriting (and heavy MTV exposure) that made Pyromania a massive success – and the catalyst for the '80s pop-metal movement.

Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler is the third compilation album by Dire Straits, released in 2005 by Mercury and Vertigo internationally, and Warner Bros. in the United States. Named after their 1982 hit single, the album consists of material by Dire Straits, with songs selected from the group's six studio albums (excluding the 1979 album Communiqué) from 1978 up through the group's dissolution in 1995. It also features work from the solo career of the group's singer, songwriter, and guitarist Mark Knopfler, including some of his soundtrack material. The only previously unreleased track on the album is "All the Roadrunning", a duet with country music singer Emmylou Harris.

To mark the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, the legendary alternative rock band Placebo is releasing “Placebo RE: CREATED,” a powerful reissue of the album that first introduced them to the world in 1996.

For over forty years, Ozric Tentacles have carved out a universe entirely their own. From their roots on the UK's free festival circuit to becoming one of the defining names in experimental rock, the Ozrics have spent more than four decades charting a wonderfully offbeat course through prog, space rock, electronica & beyond, creating an instantly recognisable musical world that has inspired generations of musicians & listeners alike. ‘Harmonic Mind’, the band's 17th studio album, is another welcome chapter in that ever-evolving story. Named after the geometric structure & harmonic nature of existence, the album sees the Ozrics once again weaving together soaring guitar melodies, intricate rhythms, lush synth textures & deep, hypnotic grooves into the kind of free-flowing psychedelic odyssey that has become their trademark.

Originally released in Italy as "Vol. 1," then re-released under a slightly different title as "Live - The Greats Hits" in Brazil. Thoroughly mediocre collection of live recordings, for completionists only. Recorded live in 60s and 70s.

Little Miss Twain is the 7th studio album from Shania Twain featuring 12 new songs. Shania Twain is five-time GRAMMY winner and one of music’s most influential voices with over 100M albums sold.

The thirteenth release in the King Crimson 40th Anniversary series. Earthbound was originally issued in 1972 and marked the final statement by the band's Islands-era incarnation. The CD features an expanded 8 track version of the original 5 track album.

Composed from 2020 to 2024, “Alea Iacta Est (The Die is Cast)” is one of Zorn’s most challenging masterworks—a complex and varied piano concerto that runs the gamut of moods, styles, and tempi. Performed brilliantly by four of the most trusted and passionate interpreters of his work—the trio of Brian Marsella, Jorge Roeder, Ches Smith, with guest star Sae Hashimoto on vibraphone on one track—this stunning new work is an essential piece of the Zorn puzzle. Astonishing!

Evans in England was issued for the first time as limited edition two-LP set on Record Store Day 2019, and 3 tracks from the album appear on Smile With Your Heart.

This wonderful recording, made in 1982, has truly earned a place in Claves' treasure chest. It was one of the principal reasons for the revival of interest in the music of Franz Krommer, a contemporary of Mozart and Beethoven who quite undeservedly fell into neglect. Two of Switzerland's most eminent soloists, flutist Peter-Lukas Graf and oboist Heinz Holliger, bring this vivacious music to life not only through their instrumental virtuosity, but also as conductors; each in turn directed the English Chamber Orchestra.

The fourth of d'Albert's twenty operas, "Die Abreise" ("The Departure") was premiered in 1898 at Frankfurt. In a single 40 minute act, its story is very slender indeed. A man (Gilfen) suspects his wife (Luise) of being unfaithful to him with a friend (Trott) so pretends to go away on a journey. Returning "unexpectedly" he finds Luise rejecting the advances of Trott who is summarily ejected. A reconciliation between Gilfen and Luise ensues.
