The extraordinary impact Xmal Deutschland had upon British audiences in the early Eighties is difficult to convey forty years on. A spell was cast by the staccato rhythms, unmediated channels and mysterious (to us) language of their music, and by the vision and strength of the women involved. Their breakthrough support slot with Cocteau Twins and first two albums with 4AD dazzled and dug deep, speaking in tones and temperatures unlike any band before or since. “And at some point, it seemed to people we just…disappeared”, muses singer Anja Huwe. “So this myth of Xmal Deutschland just got bigger and bigger over the years…”

Seefeel's Quique emerged in 1993 on the Too Pure label, blending elements of shoegaze, ambient, and electronic music into an innovative and genre-defying sound. The record’s complex textures, pulsating rhythms, and ethereal melodies create an immersive listening experience, with tracks like “Climactic Phase #3” and “Industrious” showcasing the band's pioneering approach. Mark Clifford's intricate production, combined with Sarah Peacock’s delicate vocals, crafts a dreamlike atmosphere. Quique was a trailblazer for the fusion of organic and digital soundscapes.

Updated for 2025, “The Hits” captures the essence of Amy Grant’s remarkable career; a collection of songs that became staples on radio waves and the soundtracks to countless lives. From the infectious rhythm of “Every Heartbeat” to the heartfelt plea of “That’s What Love Is For”, these tracks filled airwaves with messages of love, hope, and faith. Fans remember driving with “Baby Baby” or “Lucky One” playing on repeat, while songs like “El Shaddai” and “Thy Word” provided quiet solace. Whether it was on a road trip, a kitchen radio, or the Sunday morning playlist, these hits transcended generations, connecting listeners with Amy’s unmistakable voice and timeless melodies.

London's Philharmonia Orchestra is generally considered one of Britain's top symphonic ensembles and has sometimes been named as the very best. Formed by recording executive Walter Legge at the end of World War II, the orchestra benefited from the presence of several top Continental conductors in its first years and has generated an impressive recording catalog from the very beginning. Although London already boasted the world-class London Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, and London Symphony Orchestras, Legge resolved to create an ensemble that would equal the best in the German-speaking musical sphere.

John Wetton had one of the most varied careers in progressive rock. He played in the majority of the big names in prog, in many cases in their classic lineups. His first major band experience came when he joined Family in 1971. He was featured on two of their albums: 1971's Fearless and Bandstand (released the following year). He performed various functions in the group, but his primary role was as bassist. Previous to this group he had recorded with Edwards Hand and Mogul Thrash. He left Family to join Robert Fripp and company in King Crimson, taking a place that had been previously filled by Greg Lake. This would not be the last time the two of them would replace one another. His tenure with that group was not exceptionally long, however, as Fripp disbanded Crimson in 1975.
