English guitar legend Hank Marvin inspired a generation of British post-war guitarists with his smooth, plectrum-based guitar lines. Backing Cliff Richard with his band The Shadows, Hank's guitar playing inspired The Beatles and a generation of British groups starting out in the 1960s. This album sees Hank performing a plethora of songs from the big screen, both recent and vintage. All are flawlessly executed with the smooth melodic perfection that audiences have come to expect from Hank. This album contains a wide range of material–"The Sound of Silence" from The Graduate, "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic, "How Deep Is Your Love?" from Saturday Night Fever and "A Kiss From A Rose" from Batman Forever. Hank purists will enjoy the James Bond Medley containing the James Bond theme, plus music from You Only Live Twice, From Russia With Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
A London-based new wave group that managed to sustain a successful career in America for several years in the mid-'80s, the Fixx always flirted with the mainstream with their catchy, keyboard-driven pop. Formed by college friends vocalist/keyboardist Cy Curnin and drummer Adam Woods in the early '80s, the pair advertised in the music press for additional members; the remaining members of the group – guitarist Jamie West-Oram, keyboardist Rupert Greenall, and bassist Charlie Barret – all responded to the ad. Taking the name the Portraits, the band recorded a single for Ariola Records, "Hazards in the Home," which failed to gather much attention. Within a year, the band had changed its name to the Fixx and recorded "Lost Planes," the single that led to a record contract with MCA.

Atmospheric. Epic. Russian techno-trance-progressive duo Moonbeam have had their music described in myriad ways, though what s certain is that there is ecstatic swooning on a dancefloor when their tunes are dropped. Comprising of brothers Vitaly and Pavel Khvaleev, the DJs/producers Moonbeam release their third full-length studio album "The Secret". Following their previous studio albums 2010s "Around The World" and 2008s "Consumption" - the bar was set high for "The Secret". An artistic journey, "The Secret" is at times haunting, downright sensuous, minimal, and at times highly charged. Throughout it all, however, the album is brilliant in its cinematic scope and willingness to inhabit the realm where dreams and consciousness bleed into one.
