Computeractive From Issue 464 From 9 22 December 2015

A cinematic instrumental journey for the mind featuring elements of classic progressive rock. With his seventh full-length release in six years, The Man From RavCon (a.k.a. Charlotte, NC USA based multi-instrumentalist Mike Brown) invites you along for another journey… this time, the search for a sonic solution. Following the 2013 album, Skyscraper, which was well reviewed by a wide range of websites, blogs, and publications, including the UK’s PROG Magazine, The Puzzle Master further expands The Man From RavCon’s seductively atmospheric brand of instrumental rock.

2015: Boxset of 2 CD taking back all discography of Opera de Nuitfrom 1984 till 1988. This boxset contains two inserts: a fold-out poster with lyrics/pictures and a sticker. Formed in 1982, Opera de Nuit is a french new-wave band belonging the independant scene from early 80's, including five friends, four from Valreas and the fifth from the Drome department, in southeastern France. Self-taught band bringing a certain kind of will, the Opera wanders from halls to basements, from attics to caves: they multiply concerts in France and elsewhere (Paris, Lyon, Marseille,…), as well as their interviews and radio and TV broacasts.

It is a hefty box in every sense: 13 CDs, supplemented with two DVDs, accompanied by a gorgeous hardcover book and a variety of tchotchkes, including a poster that traces the twisted family trees and time lines of the band and, just as helpfully, replicas of legal documents that explain why the group didn't retain rights to its recordings for years…

4CD set. Collects six original albums including "Ronnie Scott & Tony Crombie at The Royal Festival Hall", "Tubby Hayes & The Jazz Couriers", "Presenting The Ronnie Scott Sextet", "Jazz Couriers In Concert", "Couriers Of Jazz" and "The Last Word", plus rare BONUS cuts.

Filling in a gap in Frank Sinatra's history, Legacy's 2015 box A Voice on Air collects over 100 radio broadcasts recorded between 1935 and 1955. This is the first collection to chronicle this era – over 90 of its 100 tracks are previously unreleased – and it's pulled from a variety of sources, including the Sinatra estate's vaults, the Library of Congress, and the Paley Center for Media, each strand assisting in sterling re-creations of original broadcasts from Frank's bobbysocks days, World War II, and the nascent saloon singer of the '50s. Sinatra wound up singing some of these songs in the studio but not necessarily in these arrangements, a wrinkle that would be tantalizing enough but a good portion of A Voice on Air is devoted to songs he only sang on the air.

Box set from WARLORD includes reissues of their three original albums, each featuring the latest remastering, SHM-CD format, and cardboard sleeves. Also comes with a DVD with entire footage of a gig held in 1984.
