Enter The Aardvark

Kurt Cobain made plenty of mistakes in his life, but loving the Vaselines was not among them. Nirvana covered three of their songs, and as Kurt might tell you if he were alive today, from 1986 to 1989 the Vaselines were the best pop band around…

We're excited to announce the release of our brand new, 22-song, 2-disc retrospective album, "Cheers And Echoes"! The compilation spans all of our studio albums going all the way back to 1998, and also includes a brand new song called "Mrs. Elliott" and a new live recording of "Lanigan's Ball", recorded at the Turning Stone Casino in 2014.

Soul Jazz Records presents this collection featuring the heavy 70s roots reggae of Bunny Lee – a living legend, one of the last of the great Jamaican record producers who helped shape and define reggae music in the 1970s from a small island sound into an internationally successful musical genre.

The resulting score combined Schifrin's penchant for adding jazz and funk elements to the traditional film scoring style with elements of traditional Chinese music, giving the whole combination a new, ethnic flavor.

It's always fascinating to go back in time and re-discover the origins of a genre-defining band, especially one that has been as influential as Within Temptation. Originally released in 1997, the stripped down and dark/gothic doom of Enter stands in stark contrast to the polished and catchy Hydra, their latest studio release out earlier this year. And while Enter was previously reissued in 2007 along with the 1998 EP The Dance, Nuclear Blast - perhaps in light of the recent success of Hydra - decided to make these more obscure and out of print titles once again available for new (and old I suppose) fans of the band…
