In Rainbows

Radiohead's seventh studio album which pioneered a unique "pay-what-you-want" system of album sales when it was first released. In 2012, Rolling Stone placed "In Rainbows" at number 336 on their updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. This Special Edition includes the bonus disc, which contains eight additional tracks.

Allright !! 2023, Black Rainbows are back with 12 fresh, brand new tunes! The new album sounds huge, with of a great deal of attention paid to the guitars in the recording, and it seems that the band has finally found the perfect balance and tone for their heavy super stoner sound!

“There is no hurry to this music, but there is great depth,” observed London Jazz News about Danish guitarist Jakob Bro’s trio with two kindred-spirit Americans: bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Joey Baron. This poetically attuned group follows its ECM studio album of 2016, Streams – which The New York Times lauded as “ravishing” – with what Bro calls “a dream come true,” an album recorded live in New York City, over two nights at the Jazz Standard. Bay of Rainbows rolls on waves of contemplative emotion as the three musicians explore five pieces from the guitarist’s catalog, with the gorgeous “Copenhagen” a favorite reprised from Gefion, Bro’s 2015 ECM release.

Riding the loftiest cirrus of boundary-leaping improvised music, guitar fusion trio Preston Glasgow Lowe follow up their eponymous 2016 Whirlwind debut recording with Something About Rainbows – a prismatic collection of original compositions which combine intricate, thunderous energy with aesthetic, harmonic grace. And while LA-based photographer Josh Rose’s minimal ‘industrial rainbow’ cover art reflects the album’s often darker vibe, guitarist David Preston, six-string bassist Kevin Glasgow and drummer Laurie Lowe also uncover fresher sunlit colours in their latest writing and experimentation.

Black Rainbows is a musical project inspired by the objects and artworks collected by Theaster Gates at the Stoney Island Arts Bank in Chicago.

Lauren Samuels and Sophie Evans first found fame when they met on the hit BBC1 show 'Over The Rainbow'. Both ladies made it to the final and were highly praised by Andrew Lloyd Webber and have gone on to have hugely successful stage careers.

"I Left My Heart in San Francisco" is revered vocalist Tony Bennett's 1962 album. The record peaked at number 5 on the Billboard pop charts and is one of Bennett's best selling albums. The record features the popular title track, along with "Smile", "Love for Sale", "The Best Is Yet to Come" and more!

Following the protracted recording and more conventional alternative rock instrumentation of Radiohead's previous studio album "In Rainbows", Radiohead developed much of The King of Limbs by sampling and looping their recordings. It was produced by longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Songwriter Thom Yorke described the album as "an expression of wildness and mutation". Radiohead released no singles from the album, but released a music video for "Lotus Flower" that spawned a viral Internet meme.

Though he has been one of the avatars of prepared piano for over a decade, Benoit Delbecq has only now released a solo album. Nu-Turn (Songlines) is well worth the long wait, a strikingly well-defined recording featuring an immaculate Steinway D piano. Throughout the album, Delbecq's affinity for African and Asian folk music (which is most vividly evident in the timbres created by his driftwood preparations, which suggest indigenous percussion and string instruments) and his Paul Bley-derived lyricism and floating pulse constantly dovetail about one another. This accentuates the exotic, mysterious qualities of Delbecq's music that, in the past, have been tempered in other settings. Propelled by a cool attack, the music lingers in the air like incense, pungent but not overwhelming. Nu-Turn is an excellent way to become familiar with one of the most distinctive pianists on the international scene.
