Time Life was founded in 1961 as the book division of Time Inc.. It took its name from Time Inc.'s cornerstone magazines, Time and Life, but remained independent of both. During 1966, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the selection of books, music and videos grew and was diversified into more genres. When record labels stopped producing vinyl albums in 1990, Time Life switched to CD only. In the mid-1990s, Time Life acquired Heartland Music, with the Heartland Music label now appearing as a brand. This company was subsequently sold off and is no longer attached to Time Life.

There's been a rise, both abundant and significant, of progressive rock and metal from Poland in the last decade. Notable bands include the mighty Riverside and it's spin off Lunatic Soul, but also Satellite, Division by Zero, Strawberry Fields, and Tesserakt to name a few more. Now welcome newcomers Xanadu and their debut album, The Last Sunrise on ProgRock Records. Without seeking comparisons, you can't help but notice the influences of Xanadu, from Pink Floyd to their comrades, Riverside. The music of The Last Sunrise, however, is notably melancholy, sometimes dark. Often heavy riffage and arrangements are colored throughout by wistful, ethereal, and sometimes spooky synth layers…
As a quartet, Polish act Riverside produced some of the most characteristic and captivating albums in modern progressive rock/metal. Sadly, the untimely passing of founding guitarist Piotr Grudziński in early 2016 sent fans and the remaining members—vocalist/bassist/lead songwriter Mariusz Duda, drummer Piotr Kozieradzki, and keyboardist Michał Łapaj—into a painful world of uncertainty about if, when, and how they should continue. After all, Grudziński’s distinctive style was a major part of their treasured formula, so adequately replacing him seemed both impossible and potentially impolite.
