2009 three CD set, common People is a comprehensive journey through the Brit Pop era. The 54 track set has been carefully compiled to include the big names of the era, such as Suede, Pulp, Elastica, Supergrass, The Bluetones, Shed Seven - along with forgotten gems from artists like Marion Salad, Rialto, Powder (Pearl Lowe's band!) - and everything else in between. Always much more than just the pantomime battle between Oasis and Blur, Common People charts the real story that lay beyond and celebrates the great singles and tracks that helped define the era. The beautifully art-worked box-set features 54-tracks, comprehensive sleeve notes from Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley (alsoa Melody Maker journalist at the time) and a lavish 24-page booklet in the style of the classic Select issue in April 1993 which heralded the beginnings of Britpop. Universal.

Incredible four CD box set filled with influential and diverse U.K.-based Indie Pop and Rock acts that emerged from Great Britain in the broad wake of '80s Post-Punk. The Brit Box features all of the styles that wormed their way into the hearts of the music lovers during the late '80s, all through the '90s and beyond including Indie, Shoegaze, Baggy and Brit-Pop. While many artists featured here enjoyed superstar status in Mother England, their impact on U.S. charts was more peripheral but their stylistic imprint and collective uber-hip peer-pressure on late 20th century popular music overall is undeniable. With the respect given the '60s-era British Invasion in countless other compilations, Rhino's new trans-Atlantic ocean liner-sized box shaped to resemble a vintage UK phone booth with real flickering lights champions close to 80 independent acts that didn't so much reject mainstream musical sensibilities as spin it in their own fashion for hits that defined cool. Lovingly compiled with true oh to be in England spirit, Rhino hails Britannia with over five hours of tastemaker tracks.

The Green Man Collection brings together tracks from their recent albums with new versions of three Steeleye classics (including a reworking of ‘Hard Times’ featuring Status Quo’s Francis Rossi) and a cover of Elvis Costello’s ‘Shipbuilding’. The title track is of special interest to Steeleye fans, a song by Bob Johnson – who was a member of the band throughout the early years and responsible for many of their classic ballads from that era. Previously lost for 40 years, the song addressed the issue of climate change long before it became such a widespread topic.

Audun Kleive returns to Jazzland Recordings with his first solo album since 2012's "Release". Where "Release" was largely an atmospheric album exploring the use of the electronic Wavedrum, with occasional excursions into beat-driven material, "[Tweakism]" is a return to the angular experimentation of his "Generator X" project, but this time he does so entirely solo.

Wardenclyffe Tower is the seventh studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1992 through Restless Records (United States) and JMS–Cream Records (Europe), and in 1993 through Polydor Records (Japan)…

The very talented Mr Vanbergen returns to Music For Dreams with Coloured Cones, inspired at large by Ghent filmmaker and painter Michael Borremans. With Reinhard Vanbergen's days since Das Pop entering him into a world of soundtrack production for movies, short films, documentaries and commercial work, Coloured Cones seems exactly one of those. With little information to surface of this release we can only assume this is the music of a film we've yet to see (or have we?), with the storylines and motifs his Belgian counterparts themes coming through in folky ambient strings, plucked percussion and wavering, surf guitars. A fragmentary John Fahey of the spaced-out cinematic future.

Two CD collection spanning the years 1982-2003. Following his early work with Soft Machine and Gong, this innovative and highly influential guitar stylist (whose tapping and tone crossed over to players from rock to prog to metal to jazz) started a long solo career. This retrospective contains an unreleased Jack Bruce vocal version of "Road Games" plus "Eidolon," "City Nights," "Sphere of Innocence," "Funnels," "Mental Fatigue," "Tokyo Dream," "Against the Clock" and more key cuts from his albums, all hand-picked by Allan himself!
