An enchanting journey through nine responses to love, Banco de Gaia’s ninth studio album arrives at a time when the world needs it more than many of us may realise. Featuring special guest artists, from Pink Floyd’s Dick Parry, Zero 7’s Sophie Barker, The The’s James Eller and No-Man’s Tim Bowness, The 9th of Nine Hearts is a celebration of the spark in all of us: the concept of love itself. Fusing ambient, psychedelia, art rock and acid house, each track evolves naturally into the next, with love the starting point to them all.
Alongside Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer and Genesis, King Crimson has been one of the most emblematic British progressive rock bands of all time. Always creatively led by Robert Fripp, the group has gone through numerous member changes and sound mutations. After several years of hard work, Music Brokers is proud to present The Many Faces Of King Crimson, an album where we will find hard to find works and lesser known projects from most of the members that at some point were part of the band. The Many Faces Of King Crimson is a monumental project, a triple album where we can listen to the solo work of drummer Andy McCulloch, lyricist Pete Sinfield, bassist Boz Burrell, drummer Ian Wallace, singer and bassist Gordon Haskell, the exotic percussionist Jamie Muir, drummers Michael Giles and Pat Mastelotto, stick player Trey Gunn, drummer Bill Rieflin (current member of Crimson), bassist John Wetton, the sax player Mel Collins, pianist Keith Tippett, bassist Tony Levin, drummer Jerry Marotta, singer and bassist Greg Lake, multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald, guitarist Adrian Belew and obviously their supreme leader: Robert Fripp.

The Reggae Box is the compilation that every pop culture lover should have in his music collection.
