Pole Pole

~Scape reissues Pole's legendary first three consecutive albums, 1 (1998), 2 (1999), and 3 (2000) in an ultimate trilogy 3CD package, including four bonus tracks. This reissue is a deliberate statement reinforced by the numbering and stringent monochrome three-color cover art. Minimalism as a form of art. A statement not unlike Yves Klein's blue canvasses, a viewer might take it for a mere joke or provocation, but will soon enough find himself drawn in and devoured by the maelstrom-like expanse of intense color. Stefan Betke's music can have a similar effect. Here, reductionism and minimalism do not equal austerity, but a sensuous, almost baroque experience…

This swedish quartet offers a really refreshing album which might satisfy all melodic metallers. Mainly laid with virtuosic guitars and those typical scandinavian trademarks you will get a mix from TNT, PRETTY MAIDS, EUROPE, TALISMAN or RETURN. The production is full of pressure, the vocals are amazing, what do you want more?

Since 1991, a complete edition of all recordings in which Karlheinz Stockhausen has personally participated is being released on compact discs. Each CD in this series is identified by Stockhausen's signature followed by an encircled number. The numbers indicate the general historical order of the works. Stockhausen realised the electronic music and participated in these recordings as conductor, performer, sound projectionist, and musical director. He personally mixed down the recordings, mastered them for CDs, wrote the texts and drew the covers.

Akron’s native bluesmen, The Juke Hounds, released their album, “Low Man on the Totem Pole,” a rip-roaring collection of 10 loud and vibrant tracks. The disc captures all the energy of a large blues festival, and it’s impossible not to get up and start shaking along to the rhythm of each tune. The guys are obviously well versed in the catchy music they write and perform, and “Low Man on the Totem Pole” is an example of how to do blues right. With repetitive hooks and toe-tapping rhythms, the band is pure fun and are experts at their craft.
