PFM aggiunge un nuovo entusiasmante capitolo alla sua discografia: i concerti filologici. Denominatore comune del progetto è la rilettura dei primi cinque dischi in un percorso musicale di ricerca e di riscoperta delle radici della band con un'esecuzione accurata, fedele e ricca di energia espressiva come PFM sa garantire nei suoi concerti. Le registrazioni sono avvenute il 30 e 31 maggio di quest'anno in due location di prestigio quali Dome City Hall e Shibuya Duo Music Excange, nel cuore di Tokyo. Il successo di pubblico ha confermato lo straordinario contenuto artistico delle performance.
Two years since Joe Bonamassa released his last studio album, he returns with Redemption, his 13th solo studio album and third in a row of all original material. It features a collection of 12 exhilarating songs that reflect the re-birth that he is currently going through. “I’m going through some other stuff in my life I didn’t expect to be going through. It’s a rising, it’s contrition, it’s acceptance, it’s everything. It’s painful, but knowing that there’s a rising coming,” Joe explains. 'Redemption' was recorded with a remarkable collection of musicians, including two (!) extra guitar players (!!), and a guest appearance by country singer Jamey Johnson.
Be it one of their live shows or one of their albums: German post-rockers My Sleeping Karma never fail to create a unique and hypnotic score of epic proportions bound to send the listener on deep mental journeys. On their fifth album Moksha, the instrumental groove rockers show us their most varied side: blusterous waves of riffs embrace fragile melody lines, Eastern mysticism has its place and ghostly sound shivers lead eternal rhythms to new horizons. Yes, this word is abused way too often these days – but My Sleeping Karma are pure magic.
Africa Speaks is the twenty-fifth studio album by American rock band Santana, released on June 7, 2019 by Concord Records and Suretone Records. The album was produced during a 10-day recording session by Rick Rubin at Rubin's Shangri La Studios in Malibu, during which they recorded 49 songs. Rubin and Carlos Santana used an eight-piece band (which included Santana's wife, Cindy Blackman Santana, on drums). The first single from the album, "Breaking Down the Door", was released on April 19, 2019. In January 2019, Santana released the EP In Search of Mona Lisa, which served as a preamble to the LP. The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200.
This is an interesting concept and intriguing idea which throws together 20 great songs, housed in a double vinyl.
Given the age of the release, it is fair to say that there are better compilations on the market and probably better mastered versions of the songs featured, but for a penny or so plus postage, it is fine to have in the car for a bit of classic listening.
