The Cuban symphonic prog rock band Anima Mundi came to life in the spring of 1996 due to the union of five friends who studied together to major as teachers of music…
Supertramp followed an unusual path to commercial success in the 1970s, fusing the stylistic ambition and instrumental dexterity of progressive rock with the wit and tuneful melodies of British pop, and the results made them one of the most popular British acts of the '70s and ‘80s, topping the charts and filling arenas around the world at a time when their style of music was supposed to have fallen out of fashion…
2002's two-CD Whitesnake compilation Here I Go Again: The Whitesnake Collection assembles remastered versions of all three of the band's biggest albums for Geffen – 1984's Slide It In, 1987's blockbuster Whitesnake, and 1989's Slip of the Tongue – as well as non-album mixes and B-sides…
For fans of the American blues-rock Good Whiskey Blues - just a gift. Cool melodies, captivating rhythms, original things … and what voice !? Bluesmen such as Bleu Jackson, Freddie & The Screamers, Sy Clopps, would look absolutely win-win next to any superstar, and slide guitar of Michael Henderson is not worse than, say, the same Dave Hole.
After more than 20 years, Nightingale's celebrated fourth full-length, "Alive Again", is available again, remastered by songwriter/frontman/producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Oceans Of Slumber).
Originally released only on CD in 2003, “Alive Again” starts the build-out of Nightingale's harder rock tendencies as they bridge '70s rock, AOR, prog and metal.

There and Back Again captures obscure Chicago hard rockers Winterhawk performing what sounds like a very well-attended show at the cavernous Aragon Ballroom, on December 22, 1978 – a rather amazing feat for a band that never managed to land a recording contract during their lifetime, but which, at least on this occasion, would probably sound as impressive to an unsuspecting visitor from another planet, as most any of the late-70s' true superstars…
