The Masters of Time (1982)

London (dpa) - In the early 1980s, British bands such as Duran Duran, The Human League or Depeche Mode caused a sensation with a new innovative sound. In the middle of it was the band ABC. In June 1982, the group from Sheffield released their debut album "The Lexicon Of Love". "It was kind of pretty popular," recalls singer Martin Fry in an interview with the German Press Agency in London. "I still don't know why.»

ReMaster of this 1982 LP by American jazz pianist Teddy Wilson, described by critic Scott Yanow as "the definitive swing pianist". Recorded alongside leading Danish bassist Jesper Lundgaard and US drummer Ed Thigpen.

I know nothing of Hajo Weber and Ulrich Ingenbold beyond the incandescent duets these two guitarists buried in the snowy recesses of Winterreise (Winter Journey), one of ECM’s greatest forgotten treasures. The title, of course, evokes Schubert, and the comparison may not be so arbitrary, for like the famous song cycle it speaks with hushed clairvoyance. Weber and Ingenbold bring distinct flavor to this session, dividing themselves at four compositions apiece.

One of their first massively popular albums, "Shabooh Shoobah" was a groundbreaking venture for INXS back in 1982. Kicking off with their new wave anthem rock smash "The One Thing", the song truly resonated with the times and immediately helped INXS develop their fan base both here and abroad further. More rock of the 80’s tracks like the powerfully rhythmic "Soul Mistake", the slamming "Golden Playpen" and the follow-up single hit "Don’t Change" also became major contenders, taking this album into the upper rungs of the rock and pop album charts. This time-honored new wave classic would go on to become a truly enduring album in INXS’s huge catalog of music.
