Firdt Omen

Bobby Hutcherson's first quartet outing, Happenings, casts the brightest spotlight on the vibraphonist's soloing abilities, matching him once again with pianist Herbie Hancock (who is also heavily featured) and drummer Joe Chambers, plus bassist Bob Cranshaw. For that matter, the album also leans heavily on Hutcherson's compositional skills; save for Hancock's "Maiden Voyage," six of the seven numbers are Hutcherson originals. Given his reputation as a modernist, most of the pieces here are structured pretty simply - there's a lot of straightforward modal hard bop, giving Hutcherson and Hancock plenty of room to solo. They handle much of the material with a light, mellow touch, trading off meditative licks even on the more up-tempo pieces and poignant, lyrical lines on the ballads "Bouquet" and "When You Are Near"…

100 Hits Halloween features scary chart sounds including "Ghostbusters" (Ray Parker Jr.), "Feed My Frankenstein" (Alice Cooper),"Hunting For Witches" (Bloc Party), "Amityville (The House On The Hill)" (Lovebug Starski), "I Put A Spell On You" (Screamin' Jay Hawkins), "Monster Mash" (Bobby Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers) and many more. Also features a Karaoke DVD featuring 20 Halloween classics such as "Thriller", "Highway To Hell", "Ghost Town" and a 20 track movie theme disc featuring tracks from classic horror films such as Halloween, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Exorcist and The Omen.

Highly successful worldbeat dance project headed by Michael Cretu that broke through with the international hit "Sadeness" in 1991.
A worldbeat dance fixture of the late 20th century and beyond, having sold tens of millions of albums worldwide, Enigma were an instant success with their unlikely combination of new age tones, chilled-out club production, and samples of Gregorian chant. The project arrived with their single "Sadeness (Pt. I)," which immediately became an international hit and the calling card for their unique sound. Over the next three decades, Enigma would release upwards of eight albums and collections, many of which spent time in the Billboard charts.

Six CD set from the British post-punk band containing albums, singles, sessions, alternate versions and 22 previously unreleased recordings. Theatre of Hate burned briefly but brightly during the first couple of years of the 1980s, leaving behind the seminal Westworld album, a handful of highly regarded Peel sessions and independent hit singles and a then-unreleased second album, Aria Of The Devil. Omens brings together those classic recordings alongside main man Kirk Brandon's Stone In The Rain album (recorded by Brandon and fellow Theatre Of Hate man Stan Stammers and issued in the US as a Theatre Of Hate album), and Yonjuuichi, a band-curated collection of more recent sessions and versions, bringing the Theatre Of Hate story into the present day.

In some way Birth are a follower music entity to the band Astra from San Diego, California. Thus the new band features former members Brian Ellis (guitar, keys) and Conor Riley (guitar, keys, vocals), as well as Trevor Mast (bass) and drummer Paul Marrone completing the line up. All four already had worked together on several other occasions.
In "Born" their debut for Bad Omen Records, the listener is invited on a magic-eye journey through a Castenadean realm in which colours and sounds warp into kaleidoscopic dimensions. Yet far from the trappings of retro chic and fashion-aligned classicism, these five celestial serenades stake their claim in a different headspace to most other exponents of the form. Certainly it’s true that many of the audial shapes manifesting themselves here - the exploratory jazz-rock diversions, Mellotron and Hammond-abetted textures and the rich melancholia of the song-writing…
