Your Friends And Neighbours

Sharing a common enthusiasm for electronic pop music, four friends from Bietigheim- Bissingen, Heiko Maile, Oliver Kreyssig, Marcus Meyn and Martin Kähling (who left the band in 1984) founded the band "Lizenenced Technology" in 1983. Drawing on inspiration from the song of the same name by the Japanese group "Yellow Magic Orchestra", the band changed their name to "Camouflage". Camouflage - German musical group in the synth-pop. One of the most prominent representatives of European and world of electronic music.

Bob Dylan, the eternal enigma, comes again out of nowhere with this studio album, his 33rd, and his third in this decade after the brilliant Love and Theft (2001) and Modern Times (2006) albums. While both those albums' musical themes centered around Americana and blues, this album takes a new turn. "Together Through Life" starts off with a blazing Tex-Mex-themed "Beyond Here Lies Nothing", and it really sets the table for the rest of the album. Veering away mostly from the blues-themed and heavy "Modern Times", the album feels lighter in approach and atmosphere, as in "My Wife's Home Town", where you can hear Dylan crack a smile actually. The Tex-Mex themes are never far away, as in "If You Ever Go To Houston". Interestingly, Dylan co-wrote all but one of the songs' lyrics with Robert Hunter, he of Grateful Dead fame (co-writing with Jerry Garcia). Equally noteworthy in my book is that Dylan's vocals are as clear as I've heard them in many, many years. The album's closer "It's All Good" sums up the album perfectly.

A journey into the Northern PeaksAlthough the heroes of Caer Cyflen managed to prevent the Soraks' attempt at reopening the Rift to unleash their foul god upon Solasta, the threat is far from over. With the Kingdom of Gallivan suddenly declaring war on their neighbours, there is little doubt that these insidious foes have agents everywhere – and that they always had contingency plans well prepared.

It's been six years since multi-award winner Ian Siegal last released a studio album with a band. The intervening years have been busy with solo projects and live recordings. Now he's back with a collection of new songs that are classic Siegal - full of the dark and light, clever word play and rough-hewn voicebox he is known for. All The Rage picks up from his previous MOJO Blues Albums of the Year and continues his exploration of Americana - ranging from several shades of gritty blues to countrified ballads, tex-mex flavours and classic soul. The 'Rage' of the album title refers to Siegal's discontent at world politics. While far from a political protest album some of the songs reflect his anger and fear at world events.
