L’amor conjugale tells the same story as Beethoven’s Fidelio, but in a charmingly different adaptation of the original French text by the Italian librettist Gaetano Rossi. In Giovanni Simone Mayr’s hand, the conjugal love is not just between the two principal characters Amorveno and Zeliska, but also between two theatrical and musical traditions, a love affair between two styles developed north and south of the alps. While the orchestration is clearly influenced by Mozart and Haydn, the vocal writing is often purely bel canto, and this blending of styles is one of the most attractive and unique attributes of the opera.

Musikalisch bietet die BAR LOUNGE CLASSICS - CHILL OUT EDITION diesmal einen Querschnitt aus aktuellen, trendigen und relaxten Nummern mit coolen Chill Grooves und synthetischen Ambient-Flächen. Weniger Vocals, mehr entspannte sphärische Lounge-Akzente, ganz im angesagten Ibiza-Style mit gewohnt hohem Qualitätsanspruch.

Tucson's musical savant Howe Gelb has released an album of mostly instrumental keyboard music, Ogle Some Piano. It's a curious disc, even by Gelb's eccentric standards – nineteen tracks of piano meanderings in a variety of styles: jazz, rock, pop, tin pan alley and experimental avant-garde weirdness. And the titles seem a parody of art-rock pretentiousness: "Spangle Bib of Radiant Value," "Hammered and Hampered, We Then Took the Deeds Down by the Dozen," and "Someday They Will Have a Name for What Ails You as Opposed to Being Saddled with Speck Elation" are representative. The best tracks include Joey Burns on double bass and John Convertino on drums, making these tracks more or less Giant Sand pieces. There are also contributions from the usual suspects, including Nick Luca and Craig Schumacher of Wave Lab studios in Tucson, and the late great Rainer Ptacek as well.

London post-punk band The Monochrome Set's third album Eligible Bachelors re-issued, completed with a huge amount of bonus tracks and additional hard to find material. Contains the original album, the live album Fin (aka The Good Life), plus a number of lead singer and songwriters Bid's solo tracks.
