Demon's Dance was Jackie McLean's final album for Blue Note, closing out an amazing streak of creativity that's among the more underappreciated in jazz history. The record retreats a bit from McLean's nearly free playing on New and Old Gospel and 'Bout Soul, instead concentrating on angular, modal avant bop with more structured chord progressions. The whole session actually swings pretty hard, thanks to drummer Jack DeJohnette, who manages that feat while maintaining the busy, kinetic style McLean had favored since Tony Williams' appearance on One Step Beyond. ~ AllMusic
It's tough to live down one's past, especially if that past incorporates one of music's biggest "coulda been a star" stories since Pete Best. Al Atkins has been trying to escape the shadow of Judas Priest, the band he formed in the late '60s, ever since the band took off to stardom without him, but it's been a rough road that even 2007's Demon Deceiver couldn't entirely smooth. For that solo set, his fifth, Atkins joined forces with Budgie guitarist Simon Lees, bassist Pete Emms, and drummer Mick Hales, with Diamond Head's Brian Tatler and Danté Fox's Mike De Jager among the guest support. The album was a self-financed/self-produced labor of love, and suffered somewhat from the lack of money and big-production values, but only some.
Limited edition.Only the first 3,000 copies come with a bonus CD and printed in gold.The third album Demon showed a sharp change in the concept of the group in terms of lyrics and mystical atmosphere of the musical material. Now Lyrics gang dedicated to various social and political issues. Keyboardist Andy Richards, who appeared even earlier in the previous successful album «The Unexpected Guest», only now revealed a hundred percent, and now every song was arranged keyboard arrangements, although these arrangements, as I think everyone realized in the style of the eighties, and the only thing they do with music - so it is closer to pop rock. The recording quality is improved somewhat - immediately became distinctly audible tight drums and guitar tougher, but for the style of hard rock band has not moved. Vocalist Dave Hill stopped too hard to shout that only a positive impact on the musical material.
Vocalist Doogie White, the former singer of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen, is firmly convinced that "The Stranger Within is a fantastic sounding album with brilliant songs!" Above all Deep Purple fans and Rainbow fans of the Dio-era will be really delighted with this hard rock album consisting of 12 songs lasting 66 minutes – and this album contains everything which enthrals fans of classic hard rock bands: powerful vocals rich in variety as well as brilliant and sometimes spaced-out solos of the guitar and the organ. Classic hardrock at its best!
What a start into 2014. Mustasch from Swedens Gothenburg worked on their new album. It is named “Thank you for the demon” and it became an excellent album. And since all the songs are good it would have been gexcellent to add 2-3 more tracks to the album. “Thank you for the demon” contains 9 tracks which lead to a playing time from 37 minutes. This is really not a lot, but let’s place it under the header “Quality instead of quantity”.
The time has come. After the longest wait between Demon Hunter records ever, we are proud to announce our brand new studio album, “Outlive.” The last 3 years have been an absolute whirlwind. We’ve welcomed 5 (!) children into the Demon Hunter family, endured heartbreaking trials, and experienced joy beyond comprehension. “Outlive” is a culmination of these peaks and valleys. It is a journey through adversity, survival, and overcoming the odds. They say the best stories are told by those who have lived a life worth commenting on, and we believe that our stories will resonate with each of you in some way.
In 1875, The Demon had the greatest success of any of Rubinstein operas, both in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Other compositions included the E flat Piano Concerto, Fantasia for Two Pianos, and the opera Nero". After a concert tour of England, he was made a Hereditary Nobleman by the Tsar, and in 1883 he was awarded the Cross of St. Vladimir for his contribution to musical education in Russia. He also gained a new student named Alexander Glazunov, whose talent at the piano greatly impressed him.
