Habu Distant Thunder

For most heavy metal fans Helstar of course needs no introduction. With albums such as ‘Burning Star’, ‘Remnants Of War’, ‘A Distant Thunder’ and ‘Nosferatu’ has delivered a few classic albums and has reached a legendary status in the worldwide heavy and power metal scene. The band fronted by vocalist and metal veteran James Rivera (also known from Vicious Rumors, Destiny’s End and Seven Witches) reached its thirtieth anniversary this year. To celebrate this event the band gave a special concert for their hometown audience in Houston, Texas, and filmed and recorded it for a live DVD and double live album that appeared in August.

Hempton has searched the globe for more than three decades to record nature at its most pristine and we are proud to be the exlcusive distributor besides Gordon's very own company QUIET PLANET.

Aswad is arguably Britain's most successful reggae band, in terms of both popularity and longevity. Critical opinion of their body of work is often divided. Some hail their early material as the greatest roots reggae Britain ever produced, beginning with their 1975 self-titled debut, which highlighted the plight of the immigrant Jamaican in the unfamiliar and often hostile environment of '70s London. Others find their later pop-crossover phase more distinctive and unique, when they shifted to funk and soul, resulting in the U.K. chart-topper "Don't Turn Around." Regardless, Aswad's ability to adapt themselves to the changing times – new musical trends, shifting personnel – was ultimately the driving force behind their decades-long career.

AllMusic Review "Hunger" by Steve Loewy: This version of the Willem Breuker Kollektief includes highly entertaining vocalist Loes Luca on four of the 13 tracks. As with so many of the recordings by this orchestra, there is a mixture of Breuker originals and an eclectic sample of tunes from a variety of genres. "Yes, We Have No Bananas" is given a unique treatment, with vocals from Breuker, a ukulele solo by trumpeter Boy Raaymakers, and a delightful singing saw exposition by Lorre Lynn Trytten.
