Dreamworld Blackout

Vibraphone master and thought leader Stefon Harris (featured on the cover of Downbeat's May 2024 issue) drops a surprise short-form album featuring four excellent tracks from his 2017 Sonic Creed sessions, his exquisite vibes & marimba arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "You. and I," and a moving new ballad titled "I Know Love." His 10th album serves as both a sequel to the previous 2018 release and also serves as a prequel for an epic new release coming in 1Q 2025, entitled 'LEGACY DANCES'.

"Dreamworld" is the debut CD from Embrase, a play on Marc Bras' name. It is an absolute treasure and another gem in Groove's catalog of great electronica. This disc features ten relatively short compositions and clocks in at 80 minutes. "Dreamworld" is a record with warm, melodical, rhythmic and easy assessable EM that has the ability to appeal to a lot of EM-fans. The sound is full, rich and the music is played with care. This disc is absolutely essential for Berlin school fans.

Blackout was the Scorpions' first majorly successful album, due to its clever balance of pop/rock (the title track), power ballads ("When the Smoke Is Going Down"), and catchy heavy metal ("Dynamite," "No One Like You"). Vocalist Klaus Meine had a throat operation prior to the record's release, and surprisingly, his voice sounds more melodic and lively than ever…

Blackout was the Scorpions' first majorly successful album, due to its clever balance of pop/rock (the title track), power ballads ("When the Smoke Is Going Down"), and catchy heavy metal ("Dynamite," "No One Like You"). Vocalist Klaus Meine had a throat operation prior to the record's release, and surprisingly, his voice sounds more melodic and lively than ever. The rest of the band sounds great as well, and the album is highlighted by the fast-paced performances of guitarists Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs. Blackout has been called the Scorpions' best record ever, and that statement is not unjust. No One Like You" gave the band its first chart hit.~ Barry Weber (All Music Guide)

Originally released as a Record Store Day exclusive in April 2018 but swiftly receiving a CD and digital release, Welcome to the Blackout (Live London '78) gathers 24 highlights from David Bowie's two-night stint at Earls Court on June 30 and July 1, 1978. Apart from "Sound and Vision" and "Be My Wife," which appeared on a 1995 compilation, this album consists of previously unreleased – but heavily bootlegged – live performances, all dating from the end of Bowie's 1978 tour. Stage, which came out a few months after this performance, captures the same tour, but Welcome to the Blackout isn't as stiff as that contemporaneously released double album.

Blackout is the eighth studio album by German rock band Scorpions, released in 1982 on EMI Germany Records and Mercury Records. After losing his voice during the writing of the album, lead singer Klaus Meine had to undergo surgery on his vocal cords and it was uncertain whether he would be able to record it. Demos of the material were recorded with singer Don Dokken as lead singer; however none of those recordings are featured on the album. Blackout has been called the Scorpions' best record ever.
