Just because it took them 13 years to deliver a studio sequel to their 1994 live album Hell Freezes Over, don't say it took the Eagles a long time to cash in on their reunion. They started cashing in almost immediately, driving up ticket prices into the stratosphere as they played gigs on a semi-regular basis well into the new millennium…

After a 15-year layoff, legendary reggae band Black Uhuru returns with a 15-track effort that shows they’ve still got it. Originally founded back in 1972, the Kingston, Jamaica-based outfit is second only to Bob Marley in terms of all-time sales in the genre, and toured with the Police and the Rolling Stones back in the day. But enough about the past—As the World Turns has sights set on the future. Longtime frontman Duckie Simpson, along with trusted names like keyboardist Horace “King Hopeton” Campbell, guitarist Leebert “Gibby” Morrison and vocalist Nicole “Nikki” Burt, deliver conscious vibes such as lead single “Chalice,” a number that feels both throwback and fresh all at once.

Julia Hülsmann has herself in the mean time become a well-known pianist. In 2003 she made the recording "Scattering Poems" with her own trio and Norwegian singer Rebekka Bakken. The release was a special success with public and critics alike…

L.A.-based Evildead was the thrash metal band founded by former Agent Steel guitarist Juan Garcia, following that group's apparent breakup in 1987. Alongside vocalist Phil Flores, guitarist Albert Gonzalez, bassist Mel Sanchez (previously his bandmate with Abattoir), and drummer Rob Alaniz, he signed with Germany's Steamhammer label, and by the close of 1989 they had released both an EP (entitled Rise Above) and a full album (optimistically named Annihilation of Civilization) of particularly brutal thrash metal…

Kerry Livgren was one of the founding members and primary writers for the '70s supergroup Kansas. Having grown up listening to the works of classical composers (notably the Romantics such as Liszt and Wagner), Livgren's songwriting technique has always tended toward orchestration – with an ear for the majestic or the symphonic…
