2+2 is a 1991 double-disc release by Italian dance act Black Box, combining the group’s influential debut album Dreamland with a second disc dedicated to remixes and megamixes of their biggest club hits. The collection captures the energetic fusion of house music, Eurodance, and late-80s/early-90s club culture that made Black Box one of the defining acts of the era. Featuring internationally successful tracks such as “Ride On Time,” “Everybody Everybody,” and “Strike It Up,” the release showcases infectious piano-driven house grooves, soulful vocal performances, and polished dancefloor production. The remix disc expands the material with extended club interpretations and megamixes that emphasize the project’s impact on European and international dance scenes. Overall, 2+2 serves as both a celebration of Black Box’s breakthrough sound and a snapshot of early 90s house music at its commercial peak.

Everybody knows that Black Sabbath's legacy rests on their first four albums – after that, they lost their luster, or more precisely their mythic power. At their peak, which is how they are remembered, Sabbath were all about myth and power. Their very name had an ominous resonance, capturing their murky, foreboding sound perfectly…

BANDA DO CASACO's genesis comes from the reunion of jazz musician Nuno Rodrigues and FILARMÓNICA FRAUDE's men António Pinho and Luís Linhares, who made the decision to establish a new group who could wield some influence in the Portuguese music scene…

Dreamland is the debut studio album by Black Box, released in 1990 during the peak of the European dance music explosion. The album blends house rhythms, uplifting piano hooks, soulful female vocals, and infectious club-oriented production that helped define the early Eurodance sound. Featuring several international dance hits, the record became a landmark release in 90s club culture with its energetic mix of pop accessibility and underground house influences. Dreamland remains one of the most recognizable dance albums of its era, celebrated for its catchy melodies, vibrant production, and timeless party atmosphere.

Black Box is an adventurous and boundary-pushing contemporary jazz-fusion album released in 2001 on Double Moon Records by Swiss avant-garde guitarist Christy Doran and his group New Bag, featuring guest Indian classical percussionist Muthuswamy Balasubramoniam. Spanning six extended compositions across nearly fifty-three minutes, the album seamlessly bridges electric jazz-rock, complex polyrhythmic improvisation, and traditional Carnatic rhythm. Anchored by Doran's virtuosic, texturally rich electric guitar work and Bruno Amstad's astonishing vocal acrobatics, the music thrives on dynamic tension and cross-cultural dialogue. Balasubramoniam's intricate mridangam playing fuses effortlessly with Fabian Kuratli's drum work and Wolfgang Zwiauer's pulsing electric bass. Highlighting expansive, multi-layered tracks like Caviar, Pantrova, and the title track Black Box, this recording delivers an exhilarating and hypnotic sonic journey for fans of progressive jazz, ethno-fusion, and innovative world music.
