Space Disco 20 (2020)

One of the towering figures of 20th century's music, Alabama-born pianist and organist Herman "Sun Ra" Blount (1914) became the cosmic musician par excellence. Despite dressing in extraterrestrial costumes (but inspired by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt) and despite living inside a self-crafted sci-fi mythology (he always maintained that he was from Saturn, and no biographer conclusively proved his birth date) and despite littering his music with lyrics inspired to a self-penned spiritual philosophy (he never engaged in sexual relationships apparently because he considered himself an angel), Sun Ra created one of the most original styles of music thanks to a chronic disrespect for both established dogmas and trendy movements.

ZYX Italo Disco New Generation is the best sampler for new and modern produced Italo Disco songs. Also Vol. 16 contains a lot of very good titles while offering productions from all over the world that show the entire diversity of modern Italo Disco.

Chairman of the Bishop Production (created in 1977), his name has become a synonym of high-quality Eurodance.
Axel was born on 21st August 1957 in Rheydt. He had high industrial education (specialized in metals and construction), but music took over in his life. His strong side was always composing. He literally lives in his recording studio. Already for his first hardrock band 2nd Hand he wrote the main songs, but real success came to him in German pop music. During his 'pre-Silent Circle' years he has composed about 150 songs, among others in 1982 for totally unknown artists by that time.
As a keyboardist and composer he created the group Silent Circle, with the vocalist Martin Tychsen AKA Jo Jo Tyson and the drummer CC Behrens, in the mid-1980s.
