The Surfin' Lungs are most legendary Surf Rock 'N' Rollers in Europe! The band originally from Bracknell, Berkshire, United Kingdom, where were formed in 1981. Their music has been influenced by groups such as The Beach Boys, The Monkees, The Ramones, Blondie, as well as Dick Dale, while The Barracudas and The Dolly Mixture were among their contemporaries when they first started out. Their musical style blended 60s Surf-Pop and Garage with the then New Wave energy, while most of their recent musical output has had a surf/hot rod/summer themes. So, get ready for your new favorite band. Vocal harmonies a go-go, incredibly catchy melodies and hooks, beach, girls and the fast cars - the best recommendation ever!

With different friends in different forums and different nationalities, but with a common goal: to rescue the best music that ABC isn't reissued on CD. This is a topic of great interest to me.
Septura head homeward with a recording of British music from the first half of the twentieth century- a golden age in England’s otherwise checkered compositional history, and a period in which brass instruments, in the form of the brass band, established their place at the very heart of British musical culture. From the many composers of the period whose music endures we have chosen four of the finest: iconic works by Elgar, Parry, Finzi and Walton, reimagined for the unique sound of the brass septet. Septura brings together London’s leading players to redefine brass chamber music through the uniquely expressive sound of the brass septet. By creating a canon of transcriptions, arrangements and new commissions for this brand new classical configuration, Septura aims to recast the brass ensemble as a serious artistic medium. Currently ensemble-in-residence at the Royal Academy of Music in London, the group is recording a series of albums for Naxos, each focused on a particular period, genre and set of composers, creating a ‘counter-factual history’ of brass chamber music.
