Fables Of The Reconstruction 1985 2010 Deluxe Edition

This two-disc deluxe version was produced with the full cooperation of that band. The set contains many bonus tracks, BBC Sessions as well as demos.
China Crisis underwent a complete change in sound for their third album, completely ditching the heavy dub rhythms and challenging arrangements of 1982's Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms, Some People Think It's Fun to Entertain and 1983's Working with Fire and Steel (Possible Pop Songs, Vol. 2) with an altogether smoother and less aggressive sound. That doesn't equal a commercial capitulation, however; if anything, the choice of Walter Becker (of the then-unfashionable Steely Dan) as producer was a more commercially daring maneuver than anything the group had previously attempted…

After recording one of their darkest albums, 1984's The Top, the Cure regrouped and shuffled their lineup, which changed their musical direction rather radically. While the band always had a pop element in their sound and even recorded one of the lightest songs of the '80s, "The Lovecats," The Head on the Door is where they become a hitmaking machine. The shiny, sleek production and laser-sharp melodies of "Inbetween Days" and "Close to Me" helped them become modern rock radio staples and the inspired videos had them in heavy rotation on MTV. The rest of the record didn't suffer for hooks and inventive arrangements either, making even the gloomiest songs like "Screw" and "Kyoto Song" sound radio-ready, and the inventive arrangements (the flamenco guitars and castanets of "The Blood," the lengthy and majestic intro to "Push," the swirling vocals on "The Baby Screams")…

Some artists carve out albums, others issue singles. It’s hard to tell where Tom Petty sits. For the most part, he’s a singles man. In the realm of the universe, the majority of people who like or appreciate Petty and his Heartbreakers probably own his 1993 collection, Greatest Hits. After all, it’s the guy’s best-selling album to date, having sold over 10 million copies and been certified…

The deluxe edition of THE SOUND OF THE SMITHS appends the standard version with a bonus disc of rarities, deeper album cuts, and live tracks, providing an even more in-depth overview of the beloved 1980s British rock act. Highlights of the second disc include an energetic concert performance of "Handsome Devil," an alternate version of "Pretty Girls Make Graves," and "The Queen Is Dead," a searing song lifted from the esteemed album of the same name.

One of the undisputed Godfather's of Swedish Modern Metal are back in a big way! Soilwork's latest release, The Panic Broadcast, is a call to arms for Swedish Metal fans. "Speed" and Co., have gotten back on track with The Panic Broadcast, which is a bombastic fury of hyperactive drum thumping, melodic songwriting and a return to the fold of one of the greatest Metal riff merchants, guitarist Peter Wichers.

Since their rebirth in 2010, through a string of amazing live performances, signing to Metal Blade Records, and releasing three excellent metal albums, Sorcerer have been firing on all cylinders with no plans of stopping for anyone. There is no stopping the mighty Sorcerer and in the autumn of 2023 the band will release their highly anticipated fourth album entitled "Reign of the Reaper". Again not content with repeating themselves the album features some of the darkest, heaviest and most aggressive material the band has ever recorded, and at the same time some of the most lyrical and beautiful.
