Western Standard Time is the tenth studio album by American country band Asleep at the Wheel. Recorded at various studios in Austin, Dallas, Briarcliff and San Marcos, Texas it was produced solely by the band's frontman Ray Benson and released in August 1988 as the group's second album back on Epic Records. Western Standard Time is the band's first album to feature no original material, relying on recordings of compositions originally by popular swing, R&B and big band artists…

The Swedish heavy metal legends' seventh full-length effort, Nightmare of Being sees At the Gates continuing to tweak their Gothenburg-style death metal with wild abandon. A blistering chimera of discord and melody, the ten-song set builds on the promise of its predecessor, 2018's To Drink from the Night Itself, delivering deft arrangements, surprising sonic detours, and lyrics steeped in existential dread. Softly fingerpicked classical guitar sets the table on the crushing opener "Spectre of Extinction," which pairs the band's signature guitarmonies and galloping blast beats with Tomas Lindberg's choked but powerful death-metal howl…

A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is the debut studio album by American pop rock band Panic! at the Disco. Produced by Matt Squire, the album was released on September 27, 2005, through Decaydance and Fueled by Ramen.

This is the second CD by Dweller At The Threshold. It has been two years in the making but the results couldn’t be better. Eurock, the record label, call this "progressive electronica", a good definition for this work. The CD have three main themes (Generation, Transmission, and Illumination). Each one has several parts but the mood is very similar: powerful electronic sequences, sonic landscapes and dark passages. You can see the influences of the early Tangerine Dream, but DATT has its own sound palette and personality.

Fans of vintage electronic music might know the mature skills and music of the musicians involved in this recording. Well, they won’t be disappointed with this excellent bunch of sounds derived from vintage keys and sequencers. The CD nicely kicks off with "Pre-flight", composed by Dave Fulton and John Duval. Next is the strong "Arrival" from the trio Engels/vander Wel/Heij, which carries strong comparisons to the sequencer-stuff of ‘70 Tangerine Dream. Tracks 3 to 6 are the outcome of a session the SFP-guys had with Dave Fulton on December 7, 2002, of which "Passage" is a wonderful excursion with some great mellotron sounds. In all, the sparkling music on this album breathes the magic realm of TD’s "Ricochet" and "Encore".

At the Drive-In have plans for a worldwide reissue of their 1996 debut Acrobatic Tenement and 2000’s Relationship of Command, the band’s final album before breaking-up in 2001. Of course, Australia already received its reissues last year, with the new edition of Relationship of Command featuring songs from their 2001 triple j Live at the Wireless. For the rest of the world, both albums will be rereleased on CD, digital and vinyl with a limited run of colour vinyl for Relationship of Command to be issued for Record Store Day on 20th April, 2013.
