Paleolitico, Mesolitico, Neolitico: periodi così lontani nel tempo che molti di noi fanno fatica a dar loro la giusta collocazione. Immaginare come fosse allora la vita è quasi impossibile. Possiamo dire, però, che i nostri antenati preistorici ci sono del tutto estranei? Lo scrittore Juan José Millás è convinto del contrario. Ecco perché ha chiesto a Juan Luis Arsuaga, paleontologo tra i più brillanti della sua generazione, di accompagnarlo alla scoperta delle nostre radici. Capire come si è sviluppata la nostra specie, spiegarne le origini e comprenderne l'evoluzione: è da questi obiettivi che nasce l'incontro tra due menti curiose e acutissime. Conoscenza scientifica, abilità divulgativa, grande inventiva letteraria e una buona dose di ironia si mescolano così in un volume unico, frutto di mesi di dialogo attraverso luoghi della nostra quotidianità e siti straordinari in cui sono ancora visibili le tracce della preistoria dell'uomo…

Diez años atrás, 30 millas cuadradas de territorio de otra dimensión apareció en el medio de Philadelphia. Con ese territorio llegó un ecosistema extraño lleno de depredadores alienígenas, algunos mayores que un edificio. Cerca de 20.000 personas murieron.

With our release of well-received titles by Blood, Sweat & Tears and Tower of Power, we at Real Gone have become something of a home for the great horn bands of the late '60s and early 70s, and with our reissue of The Ides of March's classic Vehicle album on the 50th anniversary of the band s founding, we are bringing another one into the fold. The Ides began in a basement in the Chicago suburb of Berwyn on October 16th, 1964, and have stayed together ever since; only the Rolling Stones really rival them for longevity. And this album, Vehicle, was their commercial high-water mark; its title track went to #2 and the album to #55 on the 1970 charts. It's a happy collision (no pun intended) of the band s garage-y British pop influences and the more progressive sounds of Chicago and BS&T that were sweeping through FM radio at the time; our Expanded Edition features four single bonus tracks and notes by Richie Unterberger featuring quotes from the band's Jim Peterik and Larry Millas. Highly recommended!

Horacio Hernandez, affectionally known as “El Negro” is one in-demand drummer! He has graced the efforts of Carlos Santana, and Afro Cuban sessions of Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Michel Camilo. He may be Cuba’s most famous exported present-day drummer. He had defected from Cuba to Italy, and now makes his home in the melting pot of New York City. His debut as a leader, Italuba, was nominated for a Grammy. Now he is back with Italuba II, a melange of rock, jazz, and Afro Cuban rhythms. It’s a winning mix as evidenced on the trumpet driven anthemic Te Prima; the lyrical straight ahead jazz of Afternoon at the Boulevard; and the fusion Metheny-like, Mr. Also highly enjoyable is the Caribbean feel of Meridien, dedicated to Paquito D’Rivera.
