Lost Legacy Gates Of Wrath (2007)

At first glance, this otherwise grand career-spanner seems frustratingly incomplete: What a logistically fastidious, but regrettable decision to ignore leader Michael Head's lone "solo" LP as Michael Head & the Strands, 1997's incomparable The Magic World of the Strands. All longtime fans know that it is 1) really no different from the other Shack LPs, in style or in personnel since both crucial Head brothers were present, and 2) universally regarded as their best record. And Shack have released only five LPs otherwise over their two decades, one of which, the 1988's debut Zilch, was all but disowned as it's banished from here.

The Art of Courtly Love takes center stage on Duo Trobairitz's Hyperion CD The Language of Love, which is devoted to French troubadour and trouvère songs of the eleventh through thirteenth centuries. These are monophonic songs originally performed in the courts of France of that day, and performing them in modern times has proven a challenge; as this is some of the earliest secular music to be written down, the sources don't reveal a whole lot about the way such pieces were heard. While a handful of treatises and other accounts exist about troubadours and the practices they observed, listeners still need to use their imagination to make a performance of such music credible and comprehensive to a twenty-first century audience.

As we know Humphrey Robertson's the most well known synthdance project Daylight is modern instrumental synthdance music. 16 tracks of pure synth energy! The guy behind Projects like Daylight, Hypnosis, Ciber People, Based On Bass, etc. In 1984 he released his first Record with Fresh Color (ZYX) as lead singer/song-writer. One Album and Three singles. After touring with bands in the italo disco scene (Valerie Dore, MikoMission, Fancy, CC Catch etc.) he went into recording, he recorded a lot of italo disco projects also two singles that were composed and performed by himself (will be released someday as a cd collection).
