Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

Der Nachfolger des im Jahr 2016 von Kritikern als Meisterstück gefeierten Albums »The Similitude Of A Dream« wird das neunte Studioalbum mit Morse, Portnoy und George werden und das dritte Album als echte Kollaboration in dieser aktuellen Konstellation. Morse und Portnoy haben gemeinsam vier Bands gegründet, doch die Gruppe, die am längsten überstanden hat und daher den größten musikalischen Ertrag erbrachte, ist The Neal Morse Band.

Die abschließende Zeile von »The Similitude Of A Dream« - »Let the great adventure now begin...« (Das große Abenteuer kann nun beginnen) - hat sich kurioserweise als Prophezeiung herausgestellt. Denn das neue Album ist genau das: ein perfektes Pendant zu TSOAD!

The Neal Morse Band führt ihre Fans mit ihrem neuesten Doppel-Konzeptalbum »The Great Adventure« auf ein großes Abenteuer. Es wird in drei Formaten erhältlich sein: als Doppel-CD, als Special Edition mit zwei CDs/DVDs inklusive Videoclips von hinter den Kulissen während der Albumaufnahme und als drei Vinyl-LPs.

'Elements of Rush, Muse and Porcupine Tree meld in a blast of how prog should sound in 2010' Classic Rock

The Pineapple Thief reissue their 2010 album, 'Someone Here is Missing', newly remastered by Steve Kitch at Audiomaster, following their recent success with

two studio albums featuring King Crimson drummer Gavin Harrison. August 2018's 'Dissolution' saw the band reach #1 in the UK Rock & Metal chart, #36

in the UK album chart, #22 in Germany, #4 in Platomania Netherlands and #14 in Finland's physical chart, and took them on two headline European tours

including their biggest ever booking at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. 'Someone here is Missing' marked a significant step forward for the band,

as frontman Bruce Soord honed and perfected his songwriting and which he describes as 'a record of dark edges, full of love and regret.' The artwork was

designed by the legendary Storm Thorgerson, famous for creating some of the most recognisable artwork of the last 30 years, including albums by Pink Floyd

(Dark Side Of The Moon, Division Bell), Muse, Led Zeppelin and many more. #3 Classic Rock Prog Albums of 2010 & #3 Critic's Choice

'The Bends-era Radiohead... with Porcupine Tree's love of sinister sci-fi soundscapes... gives Matt Bellamy a run for his money' - Guitarist

Hatch Records are pleased to announce the release of the third instalment from The Wedding Presents' popular Marc Riley Sessions series. A band with a history that's inextricably intertwined with the BBC and in particular the late BBC DJ John Peel, an early champion of the band, the 'Marc Riley Sessions' series echoes the famous Peel/Selwood releases on the Strange Fruit label that included BBC sessions from the likes of New Order, Buzzcocks, The Cure and Echo & The Bunnymen.

An avid Wedding Present fan himself, Riley, with his team of producers, has formed a close bond with The Wedding Present's David Gedge and the band. 'The release of the Wedding Present sessions done for our 6 Music programme over the years is something of an honour. In the great tradition of the Peel / Selwood releases on the Strange Fruit label, this record proves that, even without John, the BBC can still be a place where great bands can continue to grow and be creative... amongst friends.'

Having received critical acclaim for releases 1 and 2, 'Marc Riley Sessions Volume 3', features 9 tracks recorded for the awardwinning BBC Radio 6 Music show in 2015 and 2016. 'The two sessions on this compilation feature many songs that appear on 'Going, Going...' the studio album that The Wedding Present released in 2016. 'Going, Going...' itself was an extensive audio-visual project recorded over the space of eighteen months in Provence, Liverpool and Seattle. By the time of the 2016 session, however, the album had been completed and had actually been released the previous week. Consequently, The Wedding Present were touring the UK (playing 'Going, Going...' in its entirety) and so, in-between our Cardiff and Gateshead concerts, we stopped off in Salford to record some tracks for Marc. As a result, you can hear the 'live' feel in these performances. This was a band that was literally on the road!', says David.

The album also features two glorious cover versions including a heartfelt cover of the theme music from the fifth James Bond film, 'You Only Live Twice'. 'I've always been fond of recording cover versions and there a couple of great ones on this LP. In 2015 we had a go at John Barry and Leslie Bricusse's 'You Only Live Twice' - and enjoyed it so much that I'm now planning a compilation of Bond covers to be released on my label, Scopitones', says David. The second cover is the off-kilter 'Jumper Clown', a Marc Riley composition. 'Marc's band The Creepers released this song - which poked fun at his previous band's singer [Mark E. Smith from The Fall] - in 1983 and The Wedding Present covered it eleven years later for the B-side of our 'It's A Gas' single. We decided that an unannounced rendering for a live session while Marc himself was sat in the room watching would be a great surprise to spring on our DJ pal. We managed to keep the whole thing secret with the help of the show's producer Michelle. This involved hastily rehearsing and sound-checking the song whenever we got the nod from the recording engineer that Marc was out of earshot!', says David.

Forming in 1985, The Wedding Present are one of the UK's most longstanding and much-loved indie bands with eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles to their name. Not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry's game. From debut album 'George Best', 'an unmitigated delight' [NME], the first full-length release on their own Reception Records onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own and the band released their ninth studio album, 'Going, Going...', to critical acclaim in 2016. In 2017, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of 'George Best', The Wedding Present released 'George Best 30'. The album featured brand new versions of the original twelve songs recorded by Steve Albini and mixed by Andrew Scheps. 2017 also saw the publication [by Red Planet] of 'Sometimes These Words Just Don't Have To Be Said' - a 450 page 'fanthology' of the band.

In 2018, Kneejerk Film released 'Something Left Behind' - a feature length documentary telling the story of the George Best album. The film, which featured interviews with all four original band members and was produced and directed by Andrew Jezard, appeared at several film festivals. Alongside The Wedding Present and David's 'other' band, Cinerama, David runs his own record label, curates his own festival and publishes a biographical comic book series; 'Tales from The Wedding Present' - essentially his memoirs in graphic novel style. The Wedding Present are set to perform at the Islington Academy, London on the 14th December and will be performing a series of 30th anniversary 'Bizarro' shows across the UK and Ireland in 2019.

Out of the ashes of Joy Division, the remaining members decided to carry on recording under the name of New Order. The band's debut album Movement recorded between 24th April to the 4th May 1981 at Strawberry in Stockport and featuring all new material, produced by Martin Hannett was released in 11th November 1981 on Factory Records.

The Movement boxed set will include the vinyl LP with its original iconic sleeve designed by Peter Saville, original album CD in replica mini album sleeve, a bonus CD of previously unreleased tracks, DVD of live shows and TV appearances plus hard backed book all housed in a lift off lid box.

The vinyl LP of the original album is cut on 180g and features the 2015 remastered audio, presented in a replica of the original sleeve.

The second CD includes 18 completely unreleased tracks made from Demos, Sessions, Rehearsal Recordings and an Alternative 7' version of Temptation.

Accompanying the set is a 48page hard back book which features photos and an essay.

By the time The Second Album was released in 1966, the Spencer Davis Group had exploded onto the British music scene thanks in no small part to the incredible talent of its young organ player and singer, a kid named Stevie Winwood who had already begun drawing comparisons to some of the greatest R&B singers in history of music. The LP, again produced by Chris Blackwell, included their first No. 1 hit, a version of Jamaican singer Jackie Edwards' 'Keep On Running', which allowed the young Stevie to finally purchase his own Hammond. Featuring 5 bonus tracks, including their 1966 hit single, 'Gimme Some Lovin' b/w 'Blues In F', 'Back Into My Life Again', the Hammond-heavy 'Trampoline', and their version of Roy Orbison's classic 'Oh! Pretty Woman'. Limited edition of 500 copies on 180 gram clear vinyl.

Originally released in 1983 this is Anubis' unique long-player filled with LED ZEPPELIN and British hard-rock influences.

Remastered from the original tapes, this hard-to-find gem is now finally available again !

Hawkwind's debut album is an extensive mix of
psychedelic and progressive rock, resulting in the so
called space-rock. As one of the pioneers in this genre
they recorded a bunch of deep soundscapes, combining
the best of different genres. The sound of the band is
original and the approach is naive in a good sense.
This debut can be seen as the highlight of their career,
capturing the true spirit of this raw and communal
musical movement. The Pretty Things guitarist Dick
Taylor produced the debut album by Hawkwind, after
he had left his former group.

'The BEAST is back, the BEAST IN BLACK!' Haunting words recalling 'Berserker', BEAST IN BLACK's debut album, which was finally released in November 2017. Although it never actually felt as if the BEAST had been away entirely. Right after the departure from his former band BATTLE BEAST, BEAST IN BLACK's founder Anton Kabanen recruited new companions in the way of high-pitched vocalist Yannis Papadopoulos (WARDRUM), bassist Mate Molnar (WISDOM), guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen (U.D.O.) and last but not least drummer Atte Palokangas (THUNDERSTONE), who officially replaced Sami Hänninen in early 2018.

Continuing with the same style of songwriting that he started with BATTLE BEAST, Kabanen crafted a new host of addictive songs that excite with their use of relentless energy and power. Especially the album's first single, 'Blind And Frozen', that blew the roof off and set the bar very high by achieving several million YouTube views in just a year. To cut it short: 'Berserker' was very well received by both new and old fans of Anton's work, as well as fans of the anime series 'Berserk', which Anton drew inspiration from. A number of well-known musicians have also praised the record such as NIGHTWISH's Tuomas Holopainen (who said that 'you have to be mentally insane to not love this album'), HELLOWEEN / GAMMA RAY's Kai Hansen and many more.

Additionally, 'Berserker' not only allowed BEAST IN BLACK to enter the hearts of many people all around the globe, but also gave them the keys to the gates of the world's stages! The accompanying touring cycle kicked off in October 2017 in the form of a few European shows supporting the legendary W.A.S.P. - one of Kabanen's musical idols next to JUDAS PRIEST, ACCEPT among others - followed by select shows opening for Germany's BEYOND THE BLACK. If you'd have thought, that it's impossible to top such an amazing beginning, you would soon be proved wrong. To worthily close the 'Berserker' live chapter, the band returned to where their live career had begun back in 2015 - supporting Finnish symphonic metal giants NIGHTWISH in front of several thousand fans in November & December 2018. Despite their extensive touring schedule, the BEAST managed to achieve something else in the past few months...

The band secretly forged 11 hot new tracks which comprise their highly-anticipated sophomore record 'From Hell With Love'. The album was once again recorded in Anton's own Sound Request Studio, and true to the motto 'Never change a winning team', the cover artwork was created by Roman Ismailov who worked on »Berserker« as well as the first record Kabanen wrote under the banner of BATTLE BEAST, 'Steel' (2012). Although BEAST IN BLACK's new tunes musically fit into a similar vein as their debut album, the lyrics haven't only been inspired by the aforementioned 'Berserk', but also by other movies and TV series Anton is a huge fan of, as well as personal experiences once again. For example, 'Cry Out For A Hero' is based on another Japanese manga and anime series called 'Fist Of The North Star'. Fans of 'Berserk' have nothing to worry about as with the help of Anton's Italian friend Paolo Ribaldini the record still delves deep into Anton's favourite series!

'From Hell With Love' delivers everything that made fans love Anton's work in the first place. A slew of fast-paced tracks like the opener 'Cry Out For A Hero' and 'Repentless', hymnic songs 'Unlimited Sin' and 'This Is War' and one of the band's specialities, mid-tempo smashers that only BEAST IN BLACK can deliver are back and represented on the new disc by the lead single 'Sweet True Lies' and the album's title track. There's simply no way to escape its claws! As JUDAS PRIEST already knew in their hit song 'Nightcrawler': 'Beware the BEAST IN BLACK...' You better do!

From playing chaotic house parties in their home city of Oxford to becoming major festival headliners across Europe, Foals' trajectory has been remarkable. They've earned critical acclaim (NME and Q Award wins, plus Mercury Prize, Ivor Novello and BRIT Award nominations) and fan devotion (1.7 million sales of their four Gold-certified albums) in equal measure. And while the majority of contemporaries have fallen by the wayside, Foals continue to hit new peaks.

After more than a decade in the game, Foals again embrace that love for the unconventional with the bravest and most ambitious project of their career: not one, but two astonishing new albums: 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost'. A pair of releases, separate but related, they share a title, themes and artwork. 'Part 1' will be released on March 8th, with 'Part 2' following later in the year.

'They're two halves of the same locket,' frontman Yannis Philippakis explains. 'They can be listened to and appreciated individually, but fundamentally, they are companion pieces.

Fundamentally tethered but possessing their own personalities, the two bodies capture the most compelling, ambitious and cohesive creations they've ever produced. Eager to break the traditional pop song structure which they felt they were becoming increasingly tapered to, the 20 tracks defy expectation. There are exploratory, progressive-tinged tracks alongside atmospheric segues which make the music an experience rather than a mere collection of songs. Yet the band's renowned ability to wield relentless grooves with striking power and skyscraper hooks also reaches new heights.

The album's lead single 'Exits' is a case in point, featuring Philippakis conjuring the image of a disorienting world via a contagious vocal melody. It's a fresh anthem for Foals' formidable arsenal, but also an ominous forecast.

'There's a definite idea about the world being no longer habitable in the way that it was,' says Yannis. 'A kind of perilousness lack of predictability and a feeling of being overwhelmed by the magnitudes of the problems we face. What's the response And what's the purpose of any response that one individual can have'

'Exits' signposts what to expect thematically from both instalments of 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost'. The title is a warning that anything - from the tiniest fleeting moment of inspiration through to the planet's own biological diversity - can be under threat of being irrevocably erased.

It's a theme that permeates throughout the album's material, as Foal mirror the public neuroses that have been provoked by our current cultural climate. Paranoia of state surveillance Fear of environmental collapse Anxiety over Trump's next potentially cataclysmic move It's all there in these apocalyptic songs.

'Lyrically, there are resonances with what's going on in the world at the moment,' summarises Yannis. 'I just feel like, what's the utility of being a musician these days, if you can't engage with at least some of this stuff These songs are white flags, or they're SOSs, or they're cries for help... each in a different way.'

The new albums' journeys began as the 'What Went Down' era ended. Founding bassist Walter Gervers departed on amicable terms after playing the Festival Paredes de Coura in Portugal in August 2017. Foals felt that he couldn't be replaced - a decision that ushered in a period of recalibration, reorganisation and, ultimately, rejuvenation.

After taking a little time out, Foals - completed by Jimmy Smith (guitar), Jack Bevan (drums) and Edwin Congreave (keys) reconvened - with Yannis on production duties, who, together with Edwin, also covered the bass parts. They began by writing in a rehearsal space before exporting those sketches into the recording phase at 123 Studios, Peckham, with the assistance of engineer Brett Shaw. They'd repeat the cycle between the two spaces, effectively creating an ongoing feedback loop as they sought to push every new idea to the finish line.

HEALTH gründeten sich 2005 in L.A. und waren damals bekannt für ihre heftigen 15-minütigen
Livesets. Ihre stürmischen Drums, alles zerreissender Gitarrenlärm und schaurig elegischer Gesang
klang wie niemand sonst in der Stadt. The Smell - eine der einflussreichsten DIY Venues in dieser
Zeit pushte die Band damals und die Szene brachte der Band internationalen Zuspruch ein. Kurz
darauf brachten die Chrystal Castles eine Remix der HEALTH Single - Crimewave' auf ihrem eigenen
Debütalbum heraus, die beiden Bands einen Durchbruch verschaffte und der Erfolg wurde prompt mit
der Serie HEALTH::DISCO weitergeführt. Später in diesem Jahr spielten HEALTH als Opener für Nine
Inch Nails auf ihrer - Lights in the Sky Tour' und spielten von nun an auf den großen Bühnen mit.
HEALTH, die mittlerweile auf eine steile Karriere, drei erfolgreiche Alben und weitere bemerkenswerte
Projekte wie den Game-Soundtrack von - Max Payne 3' zurückblicken können, veröffentlichen nun ihr
viertes Studioalbum über Loma Vista Recordings und Caroline International. - VOL 4 :: SLAVES OF
FEAR erscheint in Deutschland am 08.02.2019 auf CD und am 22.03.2019 als Vinyl.

Ian Brown has released a brand new single, 'First World Problems', his first solo material in nine years. The single precedes the new album 'Ripples', which will be released on March 1, 2019.

erfolgreichen Deathmetal/Grindcore Göttern von MASSACRE der Frontmann. Noch immer schlägt
sein Herz für den extremen Metal und so hat Kam Lee nun insgesamt 4 Songs - die es bisher nur auf
den legendären Massacre-Demos aus den 80er Jahren gibt - neu aufgenommen, die jetzt als CD/Vinyl
unter dem passenden Banner - Massacred' erscheinen. Roh, brutal und äusserst intensiv klingen die
Songs. 90´s Feeling mit dem Sound von 2019.

Soul Asylum stood out because of their smart, punky, hard rock songs and relentless work ethic. They made four records for hometown label Twin/Tone Records before moving on to the majors; first A&M, then Columbia, where they scored two platinum albums and won a Best Rock Song Grammy for 'Runaway Train.' While You Were Out was the band's 3rd album and its 3rd release of 1986, following 2nd album Made To Be Broken and the cassette-only rarities compilation, Time's Incinerator. It is considered by many to be their finest album. Clam Dip & Other Delights was their parting release for Twin/Tone before signing to major label, A&M Records. As the liner notes say, 'The band got to record a bunch of things that likely would never have made it to an album, raw and all over the map stylistically, but sounding vital even 30 years removed.' Produced by Twin/Tone Records co-founder and Replacements manager, Peter Jesperson and Grammy®-winner, Cheryl Pawelski, these expanded reissues of Soul Asylum's 3rd and EP collect rare outtakes and demos from this era, including seven bonus tracks as well as four completely unreleased songs.

Swapping oscillators for guitar strings and synth filters for dusty amps this side project continues exploration of blues music through electronics. Originally started as an experiment in programming styles with a release on Bluecid a few years back, these songs continue the droning tones and a variety of tempos that fill the six tracks. All songs were played live on machines while being captured at the crossroads of crossed wires.

No guitars were harmed, held or harnessed in the creation of this electronic project following up the Bluecid 001 release a few years back.

Blood, Sweat & Tears' fourth album B, S & T: 4 was written by different band members. The record peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Pop albums chart and two singles made their way into the Pop singles chart. The tracks are generally shorter compared to their previous albums. The band moved a little bit to the mainstream direction, offering some impressive performances. Their musical style is still a mix of rock, blues, jazz and folk. The warm atmosphere is recognizable and it's great from beginning to the piano led end, a charming, energetic and lively album.

In their almost 50-years of existence Blood, Sweat & Tears covered a lot of famous songs by James Taylor, The Band and The Rolling Stones, among others. They also incorporated different music from artists like Thelonious Monk and Sergei Prokofiev in their songs.

Following the 'Screaming Ghosts' collection highlighting the music of C Cat Trance, Emotional Rescue and Malka Tuti return with the first of two EPs where the band's music is given over to a selection of artists, friends and collaborators for reinterpretation, re-editing, replaying and remixing to provide a modern outlook on the bands mixture of East meets West musicology.
Very much the vision of Malka Tuti and close to their ground-breaking releases of the last two years, the genius is out of the bottle with a who's who representing both labels. First, Autarkic go supergroup in enlisting Tel Aviv's White Screen for a cover of Screaming (To Be With You). Totally replayed, this is the perfect opening, with wide-screen production, updated arrangement and decimal delivering vocals setting the standard.
Following comes an effusive, simple and on-point remix of Dalbouka by the inspiring ledge that is JD Twitch. Platitudes aside - enough has been said by others - but the fact Twitch is as enthusiastic and driven as ever is testament enough. The simplicity and genius of his rework, where 909 is added alongside fx to speaker shaking effect, shows that less can be much more.
In Sneaker (DJ) we have a name moving steadily from the (cult) periphery to become one to consistently check and respect. Following EPs for Rat Life and Bahnsteig 23, the singularity of his reversion is audacious and entrancing. Brevity, purity and ultimately intensity of percussion, horns, bell and guitar. Enter.
To end volume 1 comes Die Orangen. Kris Baha and Dreems' bromance of Aussie label (red) heads, united in post-industrial explorations. With a deep, expansive album incoming on Malka Tuti, their brooding, rattling, ghostly mix is one for late night thinkers, that steps up to encapsulate an EP that successfully marries old and new, bringing C Cat Trance's music present.

The Exploited were one of the most popular bands in UK Punk's immediate second-generation. A winning and indestructible formula of raw electric fury and speed and anarchist-oriented lyrics, all under the iconic mohawk and through the raucous voice of singer and band leader Wattie. First released in 1984, Totally Exploited is an amazing singles collection including all great material from the band's golden period. An incredible amount of raw and classic tunes such as "Punk's not Dead", "Barmy Army", and "Dogs of War". An essential piece of vinyl for any Punk aficionado on the planet!

Originally released in 1991, The Planet Rockers debut LP 'Coming In Person' would prove to be a landmark record on the world-wide Rockin' scene and one that still stands as perhaps the band's finest work. It was in the middle of that same year that me and my band - Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Trio - first visited European shores. By the time we arrived on the Euro scene, The Planet Rockers had already landed there a year earlier and fans were abuzz with frantic tales of this must-see American combo. At every Rock & Roll festival I would hear things like, 'You just gotta see the guitar player Eddie Angel in action! He does this crazy thing with the strings' and 'The singer, Sonny, man... what a voice! What a stage presence'... and so on. Every record hop across the UK & The Continent had dance floors filled with hundreds of frantic fans jiving to the sounds of 'Rampage' (first broken on the scene by DJ Mouse and included in this set), which was in turn

followed throughout the rest of that year by several other club hits from this LP. Nearly three decades later, the recordings on this most excellent collection sound as fresh and powerful as they did when they first saw the light of day... without sounding dated whatsoever. Here's to hoping that this exciting re-release finds its way into the hands and hearts of a whole new generation of listeners!

'...a band simultaneously treading new ground & never having looked more sure of themselves' DIY

Spearheading the burgeoning DIY Leeds scene, 'Plastic Front' sees Treeboy & Arc release their first single of 2019, adding to the ever-growing stream of exciting singles they've released so far in their short time as a band. Opening with a jangling guitar riff, the track soon bursts into life as it crashes into a darker, more sinister tone.

'Plastic Front' came about after James from the band made a trip to Poland. He explains 'I visited Gdansk for a short but sweet 26 hour and 10 minute trip. I was on my way back to the airport and I saw someone crash going about 60mph on the hard shoulder of the motorway. My immediate thought was that they must be dead, but after 7-8 Polish men and myself running over to check, we found the man to be alive and ok, just in a lot of disbelief and confusion. People pushed the car off the road as I helped clear up broken bits of plastic and glass, then everyone just headed off as if nothing had happened.'

Speaking about where the lyrical inspiration came from, James explained 'When I was on the plane home I was more aware than usual of all of the images and constant warnings about what to do in the instance of the plane crashing. Whilst reading through it all I wrote the lyrics to Plastic Front as it all just felt like a pretty weird and odd experience.'

Having received many plaudits from the likes of DIY, So Young, Clash, BBC Introducing and more, 2019 set to be a big year for Treeboy & Arc.

Perhaps the densest (and most scandalous) compilation yet by the ever daring El Vidocq. Already a 3rd folding album that opens to teasingly reveal more sumptuous 'strip music' morsels. Indeed, the 1950s and '60s represent an inexhaustible source of delicious tunes, most of which just never hit it off with the media or masses. Once again, our indefatigable connoisseur raises the curtain on an arousing series of smooth tunes, with their languid rhythms, well-rounded melodies and cheeky grooves. An exciting mix of styles struts its stuff in various states of undress: Rockabilly (Rusty & Doug Kershaw, Clyde Stacy), Pop (Betty Reilly, Ella Johnson), Crooner (Louis Jordan), Rock (Chuck Miller), Swing Jazz (Joanie Sommers), Burlesque (The Ramcocks), R'n'B (Gino Parks)... An eminently naughty selection of musical gems to peel off one by one.
