Jet Black Berries, The - Desperate Fires
FLAC | Artwork | 24Bit 96kHz: 788 MB | 16Bit 44.1kHz: 266 MB
Cat#: Pink Dust 72081-1 | Country/Year: US 1986
Genre: Post Rock, Punk, Americana | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

Produced with likable simplicity and directness, Desperate Fires is a taut album of western-leaning rock-pop that hardly resembles the group's early work, but makes a convincing case for the validity of this new direction…

Poi Dog Pondering - Fruitless EP
FLAC | Artwork | 24Bit 96kHz: 578 MB | 16Bit 44.1kHz: 188 MB
Cat#: CBS 467723 1 | Country/Year: Europe 1990
Genre: Folk Rock, World | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

The eclectic worldbeat/folk-rock outfit Poi Dog Pondering were formed in Waikiki by vocalist/guitarist Frank Orrall, violinist/vocalist Susan Voelz, and multi-instrumentalist Dave "Max" Crawford, the only constants in the group's history; sometimes swelling to upwards of ten members, the band has seen numerous personnel shifts. Named in part for a Hawaiian expression meaning "mutt," Poi Dog Pondering relocated to Austin, TX, and picked up a following through extensive touring…

Duran Duran - Arena

Cat#: arlaphone 1A 064 26 0308 1 | Country/Year: Netherlands 1984
Genre: Pop Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

Seeing Duran Duran in concert in 1984 was like seeing a video come to life. The group put on a spectacular show filled with impressive light shows and videos. Since the concerts featured so many visuals, the band could not vary the tempos greatly, resulting in music that nearly replicated the studio versions of the songs…

Ritual Tension - I Live Here
FLAC | Artwork | 24Bit 96kHz: 750 MB | 16Bit 44.1kHz: 235 MB
Cat#: Fundamental SAVE 049 | Country/Year: UK 1987
Genre: Post Punk, Noise Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

I Live Here is a challenging debut from a band that was somewhat overlooked in the rush to gush over such New York noise scene contemporaries as Sonic Youth, Live Skull and Swans. The links are there, both stylistic and genealogical (Ritual Tension's vocalist drummed on Greed and Holy Money), but this quartet writhes to its own noisemaker…

Don McLean - Prime Time
FLAC | Artwork | 24Bit 96kHz: 775 MB | 16Bit 44.1kHz: 244 MB
Cat#: EMI International INS 3011 | Country/Year: UK 1977
Genre: Singer/Songwriter, Pop Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

McLean went in a dozen directions on this 1977 release. There are wild tunes like "Jump" (with great piano playing by Howie Wyeth), solemn ones like "The Statue," which is a solo vocal and string quartet (15 years before Elvis Costello's The Juliet Letters), and back-to-the-roots banjo playing on "Redwing." McLean has always believed in the power of melody and worked against the stereotype he was saddled with because of "American Pie."…

Cat#: A&M AMLH 64534 | Country/Year: Netherlands 1975
Genre: Rock, Glam, Punk | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

Produced by Al Kooper, this debut by the notorious San Francisco group is best known for the blazing anthem "White Punks on Dope." Although the Tubes' raison d'être was their shock-rock stage dynamic, Bill Spooner, Fee Waybill, and company could, on occasion, deliver some offbeat pop splendor…

Illusion - Illusion

Cat#: Island 26142 XOT | Country/Year: Germany 1978
Genre: Prog Rock, Folk Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

Genre: Pop Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

Emotional (1986) is the name of the fourth studio album by the Austrian musician Falco. It was released in 1986. Like the name says it sounds very emotional. The critics claimed that the album would be very good. wikipedia

Cat#: Capitol 1C 064-400 009 | Country/Year: Germany 1981
Genre: Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

The Completion Backward Principle was the first release on EMI/Capitol by San Francisco-based the Tubes. It found the outrageous septet working with producer David Foster, who gives the record a high-gloss sheen. It's a pairing that, while possibly surprising to fans of the band's earlier releases, actually works quite nicely…
