Music producer Steven Wilson considers King Crimson's 1970 album "Lizard" to be one of the most experimental rock records ever made, noting its unique fusion of free-jazz and progressive rock. This assessment was first made in 2009 when Wilson worked on the stereo and 5.1 mixes of the album with Robert Fripp, and has been confirmed by his new 2025 mixes. The 2009 mixes, despite being released alongside more famous King Crimson albums like "Red" and "In The Court Of The Crimson King," helped to focus fan attention on "Lizard," which was often overlooked in the band's catalogue. "Lizard" was notable for its expanded lineup, the infusion of jazz players, a radical departure from the band's previous work, and the fact that the lineup never performed live.

Three CD set. Their two Atlantic albums, plus singles, B-sides, acoustic versions, live takes and more. Taking inspiration from the punky pop rock of the Ramones and The Runaways, mixed with the classic rock of Bachman-Turner Overdrive and KISS, they signed to Atlantic in 2002, who proclaimed they were, "Inspired by AC/DC, the Sex Pistols and Madonna, Donna A's lipstick- snarl vocals pummel Donna C's and Donna F's furious chug and Donna R's early Guns n' Roses' guitar wall." 2002's 'Spend The Night' (CD1) saw the band appear on mainstream US TV shows, while taking a mainstage slot on 2004's Lollapalooza tour. Their punky sound lead to appearances on a number of film soundtracks (including Dodgeball, Mean Girls, Elektra and Herbie Fully Loaded), and computer games, as well as sound-tracking Budweiser, Levis and Rolling Stone advertising campaigns. 'Gold Medal' (CD2, 2004) reached #76 on the Billboard 200, continuing the commercial hard rock sound of 'Spend The Night', featuring the singles 'Fall Behind Me' and 'I Don't Want to Know (If You Don't Want Me)'. Stylus reckoned that The Donnas were, "incapable of playing in anything but the key of badass", while Rolling Stone reckoned that the band's "wailing on solos that would make AC/DC's Angus Young proud". CD3 completes all of the recordings released by the quartet between 2002 and 2005 and adds raucous live sets recorded in Boston in 2003 plus three tracks recorded for XFM, along with the single B-sides 'Hyperactive', 'Rock 'n' Roll Machine', 'Mama's Boy', 'Play My Game' and 'Done With You', plus acoustic versions of 'Fall Behind Me' and 'Don't Break Me Down'. There's also a cover of Billy Idol's 'Dancing With Myself' along with 'Please Don't Tease' which is taken from the film New York Minute.

Take Brian Jackson and Gil Scott-Heron’s iconic track “The Bottle”, add a sublime vocal performance from UK soul legend Omar, and put it in the hands of house music pioneers Masters At Work—and you get a version that’s both timeless and urgent, filled with joy, fire, and social consciousness, and built for the dancefloor. Driven by Masters At Work’s signature attention to detail, and elevated by the calibre of the musicians and vocalists involved, this reimagining of “The Bottle” evolved into something truly epic. In fact, the final mix turned out too long to fit on Brian Jackson’s upcoming 3LP album, Now More Than Ever—but everyone agreed: fans had to hear it in its full glory.

Canadian ensemble Notturna offers a charming instrumental version of the opera L'Amant jaloux (the jealous lover) by André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813). This anonymous arrangement for flute, oboe, violin, viola, and bass was found in the Biblioteca Estense di Modena. Though undated, it was likely transcribed in 1778, the year Grétry composed the opera. Founded in 2006 and directed by oboist Christopher Palameta, Notturna is a chamber collective whose spirited and sensitive playing (Early Music America) draws on the transparency and expressiveness of early wind instruments to paint fresh pictures of an unexplored historical repertoire.

The Finnish-American composer Alex Freeman has been described as being ‘as comfortable in the realm of the pop ballad as in that of the concert hall’ and yet his songs ‘are imbued with the craftsmanship and care one would expect of a composer of his formidable academic training, just as his concert works carry the emotional immediacy of popular music.’ Himself a choral singer, Alex Freeman has written a number of works for choir: music that aims to be sonorous and melodic, but is carefully crafted to avoid the clichés that can burden conventional tonality.

Working in 17th-century Venice soon after the worlds first public opera houses opened there, composer Francesco Cavalli had no tradition to follow. He gave his fertile imagination free rein, tinkering with the brand-new art form to create the lively Venetian style of opera, with its melodious arias, sprightly dance rhythms, free-wheeling mythological or historical plots and generous dollops of comedy. Like most of Cavallis operas, Ilpermestra wasnt performed between the late 17th century and recent years. Ilpermestra was written on the occasion of the birth of King Philip IV of Spains first son in 1658. It was one of the most magnificent operas to have ever been staged. This is the world premiere recording of the opera, made after a live stage performance in Utrecht in 2006.

25 Jahre "Masters Of Chant"! Limited 2CD Digipak Edition. Seit 25 Jahren begeistern GREGORIAN weltweit Millionen von Menschen mit ihrer Fähigkeit, nahtlos von klassischen Chorälen zu Pop- und Rock-Songs zu wechseln. Mit ihren choreografierten Shows haben sie zudem neue Maßstäbe gesetzt. Die Idee zu GREGORIAN entstand, als der Hamburger Hit-Produzent Frank Peterson (Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, José Carreras, Justin Timberlake, Backstreet Boys u.v.m.) im Jahr 1989 das königliche Kloster von San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spanien besuchte. Dort fand er die Inspiration, altertümliche gregorianische Musik mit modernen Songs zu mischen – ein einzigartiges Soundexperiment. Peterson setzte die Idee erstmals mit Michael Cretu und dem weltweiten Sound-Phänomen „Enigma“ um. Das erste Album „MCMXC a.D.“ erschien 1990 und wurde schon nach kurzer Zeit ein weltweiter Erfolg.

Lily Allen Sets Return With New Album, ‘West End Girl’ The record is scheduled to arrive on Oct. 24 as the follow-up to 2018’s No Shame. Lily Allen has announced her first album in seven years: West End Girl is out this Friday, October 24, via BMG. Its 14 songs were mostly written by Allen and her musical director, Blue May, and the pair executive-produced the LP alongside Seb Chew and Kito. Below, check out Spanish artist Nieves González’s cover art. In a press release, Allen said, “I’m nervous. The record is vulnerable in a way that my music perhaps hasn’t been before—certainly not over the course of a whole album. I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now. At the same time, I’ve used shared experiences as the basis for songs which try to delve into why we humans behave as we do, so the record is a mixture of fact and fiction which I hope serves as a reminder of how stoic yet also how frail we humans can be. In that respect I think it’s very much an album about the complexities of relationships and how we all navigate them. It’s a story…” Since her last album, 2018’s No Shame, Allen has appeared in various West End London theater productions and co-founded the podcast Miss Me.
