Headcharger Against The Storm

Originally released in 1985, Brave the Storm was the second album from British melodic rockers Shy. The band, which featured powerhouse vocalist Tony Mills (now with TNT), was a latecomer to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) scene, and with their accessible melodic hard rock style they straddled the line between metal and arena rock.

Stream of Passion is another one of Arjen Anthony Lucassen's ( Ayreon, Ambeon, Star One) projects and features musicians from as different countries as The Netherlands, USA, Mexico and Brazil. The music is build around Mexican female vocalist Marcela Bovio's beautiful voice. Arjen discovered her and she guested on Ayreon's The Human Equation album from 2004.

In the Eye of the Storm is the first solo album by former Supertramp member Roger Hodgson. The album's first single was the four-minute edit of "Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy)", which peaked at number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single, a four-minute edit of "In Jeopardy", was a minor hit, peaking at number 30 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart but failing to crack the Billboard Hot 100. The album itself was only moderately successful, stalling at number 46 in the Billboard album charts and only reaching number 70 in the UK Albums Chart. It performed far better in Canada, going platinum within a month of its release.

Kathleen Alice "Kathy" Mattea is an American country music and bluegrass performer who often brings folk, Celtic, and traditional country sounds to her music. Active since 1983 as a recording artist, she has recorded seventeen albums and has charted more than thirty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts.

Alanis Morissette releases her first meditation album with the title the storm before the calm. It includes 11 relaxing meditation tracks which Morissette wrote together with Dave Harrington.

While Tangerine Dream amassed its vast catalog throughout the '70s and '80s, chief Dreamer Edgar Froese was quietly releasing influential records of his own. This handy, two-disc set is a fine collection of some of the better moments from Froese's numerous solo outings, including 15 new tracks recorded specifically for this set, and the rest are extensively reworked with "new timbres." Consequently "Beyond The Storm" comes off less as a compilation than as a whole studio album based upon old themes. If you're a fan of Froese or TD this is a nice slice of that pie.
