"Good Life" is the first new album from Rockie Robbins in 24 years. He recorded for A&M and MCA records in his heyday with US national hit "You And Me". This new album reunites Rockie with producer Ricky Peterson (George Benson, Chaka Khan, Rosie Gaines) with smooth and funky soul grooves his fans will love.

After playing in the Italian art pop band "Showmen 2", James Senese and Franco Del Prete formed what would become one of the most intriguing and unique bands of the early 70's. Centered around a fusion rock core, Napoli Centrale's debut album convincingly combined Jazz and Progressive rock. Once again this album defies simple categorization, but the music is highly exploratory and very progressive in approach. Kind of a mix of National Health with Gentle Giant, Herbie Hancock and a good dose of Weather Report. Instrumentally these guys love to groove with lots of sax, fender electric piano, bass and drums. Vocals are not central but are well done and sung in native Italian… kind of a nice full soulful voice.

The Paradise Projex; a music project started and developed by Music Director musician, songwriter, producer Phil Edwards, co-founder of 80s group Paradise (“One Mind, Two Hearts”) from London. “I Am You” is a creative venture with inclusive approach. The message is simple, music has the power to unite minds across the continents, cultures, generations and decades. It features the digital single “Here & Now” (former No.1 UK Soul Breakers chart) and 7” vinyl release of two brand new songs “Magic Night” and “Someone Like You”. Guest vocalists include Judy La Rose, Everett Peters, Charlotte Kelly, Lee Callaghan, Emma Callaghan.

The first solo release from Breeze McKrieth, known for his work over many years with Light Of The World, Beggar & Co and The Brit Funk Association. Highly regarded for his unique style of rhythm guitar playing, the album focuses more on his lead guitar. With influences taken from bands like Caldera, Crusaders and Santana, Breeze embellishes the music, much of which are his own composition, in a style that shows his affinity with his instrument. Joined on the album by many of his stalwart fellow musicians through the years there are many surprises throughout. As well as long time friends and colleagues David Baptiste, saxophone, Kenny Wellington, trumpet and flugelhorn there is great contribution by Toby Baker, Peter Hinds and Luismi Valles on keyboards, Pat Clahar on saxophone, Rolando Domingo, trumpet, Camelle Hinds, Ernie McKone, bass and Billy Osborne on drums. The songs show a different side to the music usually associated with Breeze and are clearly chosen on a more personal and introspective level, as showcased in tracks like ‘Return To Valencia’ and This Is Paradise’. The cover versions in the main are interpreted in different ways to the original version and crafted in a manner befitting the direction of the album.

This may be an overview of Musselwhite's career (from the late '60s to the present – with some previously unreleased tracks, including the title cut), but it is not the best introduction to the artist. For that, his Vanguard '60s output is still recommended, along with the 1984 session on Blue Rock'it and Alligator's In My Time.

Less than three years after their triumphant, chart-storming comeback record, Eyes Of Oblivion,which entered on #1 in their home country and on #3 in Germany, Sweden's most consistently great rock outfit is back with another banger of an album. Overdriver was recorded at Strawberry Studio & The Honk Palace and is the first The Hellacopters album entirely produced by Nicke Andersson. As you might expect from The Hellacopters album it's filled to the brim with roaring guitars and earth-shattering grooves, fist-raising energy and anthemic choruses, while keeping the variety richer than ever before. The striking cover for Overdriver was created by German illustrator Max Löffler.

C.O.C.X. That word not necessary conjures up images of relaxation, stress-relief or healthy living with no drugs nor booze - especially when you consider the date when this album was recorded (1983), which is probably somewhere around 'the darkest' period in Stanko's body of work. But - surprise surprise - the main promise of C.O.C.X. is just that - relaxation and stress-relief. Stanko's romantically rocking trumpet, Apostolis' guitar solos on their way from Greece to Jamaica, J.A Torress' Latin congas, Rek's swinging bass - all those integrands create an experience which tend to be everybody's favorite, even among the folks who are not especially keen on post-electric Miles grooves. For those times when you just want to be noncommittal about you music selection, that would be a perfect record to choose, especially in company of well chilled bottle of Pino Grigio or New Zeeland's Sauvignon Blanc.

Ryuichi Sakamoto, one of the pioneering figures of Japanese electronic music, demonstrates his versatility on this change-of-pace album. Released in 2004, 04 is dominated by Sakamoto's prowess on the acoustic piano, and features excerpts from several of his scores for motion pictures (including his music for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence), television commercials (such as a campaign for Louis Vuitton), and video games ("Seven Samurai: Ending Theme" was composed for the PS2 game Seven Samurai 20XX).

Dreams are an essential part of the musical world. Despite having been firmly involved in Sweden's highly fertile prog rock scene in the '70s, Roine Stolt (Kaipa, The Tangent, Transatlantic) was still harbouring dreams of maximum creative fulfilment when he arrived in the '90s, guitar in hand and a head full of sublime musical ideas. The end-result was a solo album, 'The Flower King', which struck such a resounding chord with a small but growing number of prog fans around the planet. It also proved to be one of a handful of albums that helped to kick-start and underpin a worldwide resurgence for adventurous, symphonic rock music that is still gaining momentum over two decades later. You can find the proof of what happened next within this lavish, generously proportioned box set containing the first half of The Flower Kings' extraordinary catalogue of immersive, immaculate studio albums…

Rare enough edition of the best hits of Bread from Pickwick International. Bread were the melodic soft-rock band, best known for the hits "If" and "Make it with You". The band were formed by singer/keyboard player/producer David Gates and singer guitarist James Griffin in 1968, originally the idea had been to continue Griffin's, already established, solo career, by having producer-Gates work on Griffin's next album. However, when another guitarist Robb Royer was brought onboard, Bread were formed. They released their self-titled debut album in 1968, which showcased the soft rock sound that the band became famous for, however sales were slow and they would have to wait for the follow-up for success. The next album On the Waters included "Make it with You" which topped the US charts, the band added a drummer, Mike Botts, to the line-up and took to the road. The album became the bands' first gold-seller.
