Human

On 'The Human Condition', SAGA sets another musical milestone in their more than 30 year band history. A unique mix of elements from the genres of melodic rock, pop and prog. Replacing former singer Michael Sadler, Rob Moratti´s voice is a perfect addition and creative input to the classic sound of the band. SAGA is well prepared for a long lasting future.

Although it was optimistically titled Volume One, this would turn out to be the sole album by this obscure, odd, Edinburgh early heavy rock trio. The tracks are dominated by the Jimi Hendrix/Cream-influenced guitar of Gillies Buchan, which leans heavily on devious wah-wah effects…

Overdrive was an Italian band that was formed in Milan in 1985, at first consisting of Domenico Del Signore (keyboards), Joe Torelli (drums), Mauro Caputi (bass, vocals) and Jimmy A. (guitars). A few years down the line Caputi and Jimmy A. left, replaced by Pino Federiconi (vocals), Milton Damia (guitars) and Marco Marcelli (bass). This revamped line-up produced the only album released by this outfit; "The Human Machine"; which was released in 1990 by Musea Records.

Nuria Rials Aufnahmen für dhm werden in aller Welt hochgelobt. Ihr Album »Muera Cupido« mit dem Ensemble Accademia del Piacere wurde gerade für den Opus Klassik nominiert. Für ihr neues Album hat die Sopranistin zusammen mit dem spanischen Tenor Juan Sancho Arien und Duetten aus G. F. Händels Opern, Oratorien und Kantaten ausgewählt, die die menschliche und göttliche Liebe besingen. Die begleitende Capella Cracoviensis rundet unter der Leitung von Jan Tomasz Adamus das Album mit Tanzsätzen und Ouvertüren ab. In der Barockoper war es üblich, dass die Duette von Sopranistinnen und Kastraten gesungen wurden.

Human Stain is the second studio album released by the hard rock band Cornerstone. On the plus side there's Dougie White's outstanding vocal performance, the playing and the clear production sound. The album is definitely recommended to heavy rock fans who like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Dio and Thin Lizzy, or who simply look for timeless hard rock songs with great vocals. It's good, and should appeal to those who enjoy their music from the older school of rock. Those who look for great musical novelties might be slightly disappointed by this album.

Animals with Human Intelligence is the third album by Enuff Z'nuff, which is also their first and only album on Arista Records. In addition to the promotional video "Right By Your Side," the band made a live appearance on Late Night with David Letterman, performing the song "Superstitious." The song "Innocence" was released as a follow-up single, though no video was made to promote it.

Amon Düül II was born of an artistic and political community called Amon Düül (which recorded during the late sixties a long live session made around collective and free musical improvisations). The band emerged from the underground German rock scene with a very original and eccentric album called "Phallus Dei" (1969). Only Human (1978) is way better than people give it credit for. Granted, it does not sound like Phallus Dei at all, but that doesn't make it bad, just different. What we have here is a band stretching out to encompass the style of the times, while adding its own unique flavor. As such, Only Human shows strong Disco influences, often incorporating elements from World Music. Spaniards & Spacemen is a delightful highlight, fusing flamenco guitar with cutting edge electronic dance music. Kismet is also wonderful, with a distinct Middle East flavor. So if you're open minded and not averse to a little Disco, give Only Human a listen.

Human Beinz came from Youngstown Ohio, and were originally known as The Human Beingz. The split Gateway album, with The Mammals, included four cuts by them, which display their British invasion influences - but as with their Gateway 45s, are now virtually disowned by the band.Under the guidance of their producer Alex "Lez" De Azevedo, they developed into a fine psychedelic pop group with a sense of humour. Their second album, contained one of the all-time punk classics, Nobody But Me and the third too is recommended - consisting of anglophile pop, weird psychedelic ballads and some great psychedelia - inconsistent in places but good overall.
