British supergroup Electronic was the intermittent collaboration formed by Joy Division/New Order vocalist Bernard Sumner and ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr. Also featuring the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, the band was an influential taste-making force that released three groundbreaking albums throughout the '90s before its members moved on creatively. For the time that these dynamic artists came together as Electronic, their dance-flavored sound pulsed with the freedom they experienced making music outside of their other, higher profile groups. Though their first gig was performing for 70,000 people at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium, Electronic's collective spirit was personal and independent-minded. Infused with spirit and innovation, it made for some of the '90s most compelling U.K.-centric altrock.

Number Ones is a collection of all the international #1 hits on one DVD. Includes an interactive scrapbook with details of all the Abba #1's. Also includes footage from Live From Top Of The Pops, BBC 1974; from Hei Sveis!, Norway 1975 and from The Late Late Breakfast Show, BBC 1982.

Recorded in London at RAK Studios during 2012 and early 2013, the album was produced by Adam Noble and features 10 studio tracks. Placebo has, to date, sold more than 12 million records worldwide. The band's self-titled debut album, released in 1996, was certified gold in the UK and achieved platinum status in France. Since then, Placebo has enjoyed an ever growing level of success around the world with their unique blend of music and outstanding live performances. Their dark and melodic trademark sound featuring singer Brian Molko's instantly recognizable vocals has become one of the strongest brands in rock over the past decade.

Former Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers and bassist/vocalist Mat Sinner, two of the most respected German metal musicians, founded PRIMAL FEAR in 1997 and 21 years later, show no signs of slowing down. With 11 studio albums released, PRIMAL FEAR have become one of the most beloved and respected heavy metal bands around the globe, a true metal institution. Their last two studio albums “Delivering The Black” and “Rulebreaker” saw them climbing the charts and receiving even more critical praise than before. Truly, especially in recent years, the band has continued to raise the bar in terms of quality and musicianship with their release, constantly pushing themselves to find new ways to best themselves. And with the release of their new albu, “Apocalypse”, PRIMAL FEAR has once again raised the bar in heavy metal to towering heights!

2010 release, the third album from this band led by James Kottak, best known as the drummer for the Scorpions. 'We are 'Cheap Trick meets Green Day on a bad day.' Throw in a dash of Social Distortion and Nickelback and you have a recipe for a freight train barreling right through the arena!' says James. The band also features Athena, Tommy Lee's little sister, on drums. Kottak has established itself as more than just a band with a spelling problem. Several tours of Japan, Europe, Mexico, and countless West Coast runs have yielded a reputation as a rock solid act.

Greatest-hits compilations usually signal the end of a band, and Ministry appears to be no different. Tapes of Wrath taps into the rise and demise of this innovative and aggressive Chicago horde: from early aggro ("Over the Shoulder," "Flashback") to the top of the slag heap ("Burning Inside," "Jesus Built My Hotrod") into eclectic obscurity ("Lay Lady Lay," "Bad Blood"). Like most music video sets, Tapes doesn't exploit the extended DVD format, as many more hours of anything could be squeezed on…

The start of the Gathering roots back to the year 1989. Close to the Dutch small town of Oss, the brothers Hans and René Rutten founded the band that was later called the Gathering, together with Bart Smits and other friends. Right from the start they decided to avoid the easy and obvious paths and meticulously modelled the individual band sound…

These videos are a nostalgic glimpse back to the 80's, and the songs…well, let's just say that Culture Club had its good moments ("Church of the Poison Mind" and "Karma Chameleon") and its not-so-good moments ("The War Song"). Nevertheless, taken as a whole, this set provides an excellent survey of a trend-setting group's oeuvre…

At 16 cuts, this Greatest Hits collection from the inimitable David Lee Roth is four short of 1998's Best, but with the exception of fan favorite "Ladies' Nite in Buffalo?," all of Diamond Dave's best post-Van Halen hits are accounted for…

Coming off his two-volume tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Electric Chubbyland, Popa Chubby is still high on rock & roll. While his love of the blues remains strong and dominates a handful of the tracks here, Deliveries After Dark features more heavy metal thunder and hard rocking than usual. The furious "Sally Likes to Run" captures that arena rock feel with enough cowbell to keep Christopher Walken happy while the title track crunches like Deep Purple in "Highway Star" mode. The epic "Man of the Blues" should easily satisfy longtime fans with its classic Chubby sound, but "Grown Man Crying Blues" and "I'll Piss on Your Grave" sound like the blues by way of a rock band. For Chubby, it's usually the other way around, but he's often mentioned his growing up on rock before finding the blues, so don't be too surprised that he sounds ten years younger than he did on his last album.
