To Reach The Clouds

One night in 1974, a young Frenchman secretly - and illegally - rigged a tightrope between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. At daybreak, he gave the high-wire performance of all time, making eight crossings over the course of an hour, 110 floors up above the earth, as a hundred thousand people gathered on the ground to watch.

G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume Two extensively documents the band’s creative output in the latter half of the Eighties in an ambitious box containing four albums over five LPs, five compact discs and an extensive 112 page book, featuring a trove of archival photos and extensive historical liner notes from founding member Robert Forster, along with additional pieces from guest essayists, fans and contemporaries.

88rising is half media brand and half label. Their goal is to build a platform for Asian rappers and singers who’ve adopted the sound of contemporary American hip-hop and reinterpreted it through the lens of their own lives, often to massive viral success. While not all of its roster is from abroad—singer AUGUST 08 is from Los Angeles—most of it is made of young artists from China, Indonesia, and Japan who initially took it upon themselves to create videos and songs that blended mischievous humor and chest-thumping braggadocio in the hopes of maybe one day falling into pop stardom. Head in the Clouds is the final push to that dream, pairing 88’s roster with some of the most distinctive voices in hip-hop right now for a collection of trap anthems, poolside bops, and starry-eyed ballads aimed to infiltrate the Top 100. Unfortunately, only a handful of the album’s 17 tracks stand on their own as singular works; the rest are stiff, boilerplate copies of songs by other artists currently racking up streams.

The gifted, idiosyncratic guitarist, Dan Messore, presents his third Indigo Kid recording, ‘Moment Gone in the Clouds’. Still a quartet, but this time with a totally new line-up, featuring the exceptional flautist Gareth Lockrane, top-notch bassist Calum Gourlay and the inspired drummer, Tim Giles. Messore composed all eight tracks for this new album, and his combination of lyricism, swing and fluid improvisation are once again in full evidence - giving the band a flexibly loose but always unified groove. A number of styles emerge, but are woven into subtly evolving directions….Latin rhythms, songbook ballads, cool school, post-bop, funk, jazz-rock, exploratory soundscapes, and much more.

To the Sky is an exciting action and adventure video game that catapults you into a breathtaking fantasy world. Your main objective is to reach the sky by overcoming obstacles, climbing imposing walls, and running through incredible scenarios.

The cool, crafty title of Nils new album 'Caught In The Groove' says it all about his studio and onstage state of mind. A decade and a half after riding his first #1 hit 'Pacific Coast Highway' into contemporary jazz history as Billboard's Song of the Decade 2001-2010, the relentlessly prolific composer, guitarist and producer continues to create instantly infectious, sonically adventurous tracks for himself and numerous artists eager to vibe with the energy of his Midas touch. He has scored numerous chart hits including 'Summer Nights', 'Let's Bounce', 'Georgy Porgy', 'Ready to Play' 'Catnap', Straight Down the Line' and 2011 Song of the Year 'Jumpstart'. Now it's time to gear up for the impact of Caught In The Groove's funky, high octane lead single Good Times Are Better'. Nils is also enjoying ongoing success on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Songs chart as co-writer and co-producer of pianist Lisa Addeo's 'Listen to This', the first new title to reach the pole position in 2020.
