This three-disc set comes nicely packaged with a 48-page booklet. It provides an interesting introduction to the art, although it is heavily weighted toward the ultra-modern style. Indeed, some of the material isn't considered flamenco at all by its performers. The first CD focuses on individual singers, and includes a great soleá by La Niña de los Pelnes, a blazing bulerías by Terremoto, and tangos by Jose Menese and El Indio Gitano. But beyond that nod to tradition, the emphasis is on New Flamenco. There's a soleá by Camarón and a fandango by Duquende, who follows Camarón's approach. The remaining eight cuts – by Lole y Manuel, Susi, Diego Carrasco, and others – are hot off the press, figuratively or literally.

Extreme Metal Music To Release “RISE OF THE EMPIRE”, new album of Ancient Roman inspired death metal pioneers ADE. Record label Extreme Metal Music is excited to announce they will be releasing the long awaited fourth album of the Ancient Roman death metal pioneers ADE, ‘Rise Of The Empire‘. The concept about their homeland has gathered enthusiastic interest all around the world: “The band was born by the passion for death metal and the history of Rome, in a period when extreme metal bands used to be into northern cultures, german traditions and ancient Egypt myths. It was easy to be focused on our own culture, a practically non-existent topic”, comments the band.
