“The Mountain” – the 3rd studio album by the London-born prog starlets HAKEN. Mixed and mastered by the legendary Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Symphony X etc.). Classic Rock presents Prog Magazine calls them "prodigiously talented youths that will benefit prog." and Outburn Magazine (USA) says: "Say hello to Haken, your newest musical masturbation fantasy."

Innovatively fusing traditional ethnic musics with state-of-the-art rhythms, the work of Deep Forest was best typified by their 1993 smash "Sweet Lullaby," which brought together the contemporary sounds of ambient techno with the haunting voices of the Pygmies of the central African rain forest…

Five albums from Joe Satriani – picked seemingly at random but not unappealingly – are collected on this budget-priced 2013 box set.

The remarkable women of The Crossing offer a recording that is as virtuosic as it is emotional, resonating with recurring themes of desire and strength, peace, and longing. The ensemble’s affinity for the unique compositional style of Pulitzer Laureate David Lang is heard in his provocative and humorous “this condition” (2005), his wrenching “I live in pain” (written for the ensemble in 2010) and the title track, the driven, moving “I want to live” (2004).

Los Angeles-based hard rock outfit Burning Rain draw from a well dirtied by classic late-'70s blues-rock and Sunset Strip-kissed pop-metal. Issuing a pair of efforts – 1999's eponymous debut and 2000's Pleasure to Burn – at the turn of the century, they pressed pause on the project until 2013, when they returned with Epic Obsession. Formed in 1998 by seasoned guitarist Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Lion, Dio, Hurricane), vocalist Keith St. John (Big Trouble, Medicine Wheel), drummer Alex Makarovich (Steelheart), and bassist Ian Mayo (Bangalore Choir), the band issued a pair of well-received albums (1999's Burning Rain and 2000's Pleasure to Burn) in Japan and Europe before going on an indefinite hiatus due to Aldrich's busy touring and recording schedule with Whitesnake and Dio.
