“The more new discoveries you make, the more you go back to the beginning,” observes pianist Vincent Meissner. The music on his third album, ‘Eigengrau’, is characterized by an inward gaze, by his reflections on experiences and encounters that have been meaningful to him. Together with his working trio, Josef Zeimetz on bass and Henri Reichmann on drums, Vincent Meissner has developed his own language, drawing inspiration from artists such as The Bad Plus, Esbjörn Svensson, Vijay Iyer - and his mentor, Michael Wollny.

Long ignored by jazz folks who once thought the music of Burt Bacharach was beneath contempt, Stan Getz's collection of Bacharach-iana was no doubt rushed back into print in 1998 by the surprising resurgence of the composer's popularity among Gen X'ers. Truth to tell, though, is that this isn't one of Getz's better gigs; his tone is not in the best of shape, and he sounds bored with some of the tunes (like when he lazily throws a jaded quote from "Tea for Two" in the middle of "Alfie"). However, "Any Old Time of the Day" is pretty good, as is "Trains and Boats and Planes," and "A House Is Not a Home" really engages Getz's attention (it is the only track to top four minutes in length). Richard Evans supplies the routine string and brass charts on most of the tracks, and Claus Ogerman kicks in some others on three tracks, including some thoroughly useless voices…

Above the album worked the 'Greatest Ever Decade: The Seventies ', and his release took place on 2021. The album has got songs with a total duration of more than an hour. A compilation is a compilation of original music.

Antonio Caldara (1670-1736), an Italian Baroque composer, was born in Venice, where he was a chorister in the famous San Marco, with Legrenzi as his teacher. He soon spread his wings across Europe and held several impor- tant posts in Mantua, the Spanish court in Barcelona, Rome and eventual ly the post of Kapellmeister at the Imperial Court in Vienna. Caldara left a substantial oeuvre, consisting of instrumental music in the tradition of Corelli, sacred music and operas. Caldara’s sonatas for cello and basso continuo exemplify the transition from the late Baroque style toward the emerging galant aesthetic. These works are clearly written by a master of the instrument, as Caldara evidently was.

Conductor and harpsichordist Alessandro De Marchi is heralded internationally for his historically informed interpretations of operas and oratorios from the Baroque period. His repertoire is not constrained to works from that era, though; he applies his practice techniques to works from the Classical period, Romantic period bel canto operas, and beyond. He served as the director of the Academia Montis Regalis orchestra from 1997 until 2018, and he was the artistic director of the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music from 2009 to 2023. De Marchi has guest conducted a variety of groups, including the youth historical orchestra THERESIA on a recording of Domenico Cimarosa's opera Le Astuzie Femminili in 2024.

Nine CD box set featuring of the complete Atco Recordings by Vanilla Fudge made between 1967 and 1969. Newly remastered from the original master tapes. Includes the albums 'Vanilla Fudge' (Mono & Stereo Versions), 'The Beat Goes On' (Mono & Stereo Versions), 'Renaissance', 'Near The Beginning' And 'Rock & Roll', along with a 2CD live recording at the Fillmore West in 1969, session out-takes and rare singles. With an illustrated booklet with a new essay featuring exclusive band interviews. The band were originally known as The Pigeons and gained notoriety thanks to their radical, slowed down and heavy interpretations of current hits. They signed to Atco Records, a division of Atlantic in April 1967 and changed their name at the insistence of Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun to Vanilla Fudge. Their radical cover version of The Supremes' hit "You Keep Me Hanging On" was issued as a single in June 1967. Dominated by the hard hitting approach of their rhythm section and the powerful Hammond organ playing of Mark Stein it became a US top 10 hit. The band's self-titled debut album was released in August 1967 and was a psychedelic rock tour-de-force, featuring a seven-minute version of 'You Keep Me Hanging On', it also featured imaginative cover versions of compositions by The Beatles, The Zombies and Curtis Mayfield among others. Over the next two years, VANILLA FUDGE would record a series of albums that would evolve from psychedelic rock to heavy rock and influence many emerging bands, among them Deep Purple, before disbanding in 1970.

One of the best example of Spanish prog, the debut of this Sevillian group has become one of the most sought after vinyl in their home country. This quintet - your standard prog quartet plus sax man Pepe Sanchez - develops a rather punchy and relatively personal prog but mainly inspired of the British scene while maintaining a Spanish touch through the acoustic guitar. Four long tracks of which the shortest (still above the 8 min-mark) is divided into two sections make the backbone of this album.

The Eagles are unquestionably the biggest mainstream American rock band to have emerged in the 1970s. Not only did they sell more records and concert tickets than their peers – Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) and Hotel California are two of the biggest-selling albums of all time – but they captured the shifting zeitgeist of the '70s, riding the country-rock hippie hangover at the end of the '60s until it reached the slick, expensive, and expansive pop/rock of Southern California in the late '70s. Co-leaders Don Henley and Glenn Frey met each other, along with fellow founders Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, when they were hired to support Linda Ronstadt in 1971. The chemistry was evident on-stage and in the studio, so the quartet decided to form a band, releasing their debut in 1972. Hits came swiftly but their stardom peaked in the latter half of the decade, after 1975's One of These Nights became a smash.

This is the soundtrack of the horror movie Near Dark. The album has many styles, and it clearly has some elements of albums like Poland, Tyger, Livemiles and Underwater Sunlight. Mainly it consists in floating streams of keyboards and in electric guitar riffs with and without beat. The keyboards are very artificial, not really linear, and the feeling induced can drastically change from one track to another. The music can be sometimes quite scary. There are pop rock bits full of Froese's incisive guitar riffs like on "Good times". There is sometimes a good electronic beat. It is obviously better when you watch the movie.
