Simply Red Time [lp] (2023)

Astrid Engberg’s masterful sophomore album Trust finds the Danish singer, producer, composer and DJ paying tribute to intuition and new motherhood. Spanning contemporary soul, nu jazz, electronic and more, the LP sees her collaborating with a line-up of Nordic talent as well as Los Angeles-based Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, a venerated multi-instrumentalist, conductor and composer known for works with Ray Charles, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige as well as his esteemed orchestral reimagining of J Dilla’s back catalogue titled Suite For Ma Dukes. Trust will be released through the Danish record label Creak Inc. Records which specialises in groundbreaking Danish music.

Everybody’s here, so let’s play ball! Tried and true rock n' roll stalwarts The Cowboys return after a brief hiatus with their delightful sixth LP, “Sultan of Squat”. This grounded yet adventurous new album marks the reunion of the original lineup, featuring Keith Harman (vocals/keys), Mark McWhirter (Guitar), Zackery Worcel (Bass), and Jordan Tarantino (drums). It is nothing short of a glorious return to form, a long player hoping to bring a smile to the ears of listeners.

This is an in-depth look at the limited edition box sets of Dio’s studio albums from 1996 to 2004, available in both vinyl and CD. These collections encompass albums like “Angry Machines” (1996), “Magica” (2000), “Killing the Dragon” (2002), and “Master of the Moon” (2004).
These box sets are a limited edition offering, featuring 180-gram colored and splatter vinyl. Each album within the collection has its unique charm, with “Angry Machines” being influenced by the new metal wave of the ’90s and “Magica” standing out as a double album epic. The collection also includes a 7-inch single, “Electra,” a part of the second “Magica” album that Dio didn’t have time to complete.
