Vol.218

Prog rock audiences have always been receptive to box sets, especially sets that include an abundance of rare material – witness the success of the numerous King Crimson sets.

That means, of course, that Genesis Archives, Vol. 1: 1967-1975 is the province of hardcore fans and collectors, not casual listeners, since there is nothing but unreleased material on the four-disc set…

With their first six studio albums not containing a single dud track, trying to neatly assemble a Led Zeppelin 'best of' must have been quite a daunting task. All in all, the folks at Atlantic did an admirable job when the first-ever, single-disc Zeppelin 'best of's' were issued in 1999 (Early Days) and 2000 (Latter Days), covering most of the essentials.

The days are getting longer and the nights are getting warmer, spending the best time with friends in the open air, but of course not without the right music.

Here we find numerous top tracks of e.g. Lost Frequencies, Sean Paul, Rudimental, Robin Schulz, Kygo, Marshmello and many more.
