V.A. - Mercury Living Presence: The Collector's Edition Vol.3 (53CD Box Set, 2015)
EAC Rip | APE (*image+.cue+.log,scans) | Run Time: 55:02:33 | 16,2 Gb
Genre: Classical | Label: Decca Classics

This 53-CD set is more than the sum of its parts. While not all the performances and recordings are top-notch, the overall quality is very high and as a historical overview of a label known for its sonic as well as musical merits, it's full of treasures. The Mercury sound at its best is vivid and still sounds remarkable and many of these recordings - such as the marches, show tunes and orchestral showpieces conducted by Frederic Fennell - demonstrate this amply. But it's not all lollipops by any means.

Nightwish - Human. :II: Nature. (2020) Music

Posted by El Misha at March 31, 2020

Imagine the cave where music was born. In the introduction to their 9th studio album "HUMAN. II: NATURE.", NIGHTWISH take us all the way back to this ancient place and time when bashing rocks became rhythm and voice turned into harmonies. In the course of the millennia, this amazing cultural achievement evolved via Bach and Beethoven into blues, rock and heavy metal – a mental journey that the Finns trace in their upcoming full-length’s first song, ‘Music’.

Iona - The River Flows Anthology Volume 1 [4CD Box Set] (2002) Music

Posted by thingska at Sept. 29, 2010

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable set, not perfect, but deserving five stars. It captures the band in their early productive heyday. They came up with 3 studio albums in 3 years. It has taken them another 13 years to come up with another 3 studio albums, with their first for 6 years - The Circling Hour - being released in autumn 2006. I can pick this up, put on a CD, leaf through the pages, and remember seeing them play this live…..but what I really remember is their storming cover of `All Right Now' while Troy was tuning up his Bouzouki.

During the great John Lennon revival of the late '80s, Yoko Ono licensed to have the Westwood One Radio Network air scores of unreleased home recordings and demos as the Lost Lennon Tapes radio show.

Style: Folk | Label: Fullfill LLC

Singer/songwriter Thea Gilmore was born to Irish parents in 1979. While coming of age in North Aston, Oxfordshire in England, she ignored the new wave reign of the '80s and instead began to seek out her parents' Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell albums. Later, she found comfort in the work of Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and the Replacements, naturally absorbing the intelligence behind each artist's work. Gilmore began writing poetry and short stories to amuse herself amidst her conventional surroundings, but she needed something more tangible. She left home at age 16 to work in a recording studio. Gilmore also founded her own Shameless Records and released her debut album, Burning Dorothy, in 1998. The Lipstick Conspiracies and the As If EP followed two years later, and Gilmore's star power started to buzz.

V.A. - Cosmarama: Blow Your Cool, Vol. 2 (2008) Music

Posted by gribovar at Aug. 18, 2019

20 Top Prog/Psych Behemoths from the UK and Europe. Seems like only yesterday (probably because it was) that the Psychic Circle label explored some of the uncharted depths of British and European psycho-prog on the first volume of Blow Your Cool. Well, here's another voyage into that dazzling star system. Once again, legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond) has pulled in tracks from the UK and across Europe, and once again, this series will thrill you with as-yet unheard treasures from the patchouli-scented vaults of freaked musical excess. You'll find a splendid UK three-piece band who only issued records on the Continent, and then you'll find another…
