After five years , Gnut (Claudio Home ) returns with an album by intense intimate pop / dance atmospheres . The album unfolds his skein around the concept of the journey : Eun physical motion made by walking, running , trains, planes , returns home at dawn , but is primarily a movement of the soul made of moments when you dig inside her and become ruthless budgets . Eleven songs to tell us : Take what you deserve . As an exhortation , a warning . The sweet and cosmopolitan spirit that characterizes the temperament from the beginning and the music of Claudio - Gnut also permeates the disc from the phase composition : Gnut writes in Italy while cruising far and wide , between the houses and recording studios of musician friends , so as to get the perfect mix of different souls that inhabit this work. Featuring featuring important as Matt Woods and John Gulino of Marta Sui Tubi , the Eighth Richter on horns , Andrew "Fish" Fish, Robert " Bob" Angelini and Daniel "Mr. Coffee ' Rossi. Gnut has been so successful to bring together in his " lazy river " urgency creative individual , contaminated with musical point of view of each artist involved , bringing out spontaneously capable of evoking multi-faceted soul , along with the melancholic atmospheres of the past, a renewed and liberating lightness.

Nice & Sexy Pict Disc with 10 Unforgettable Songs:

Neueinspielung des nicht mehr erhältlichen Klassikers!

Im Jahr 1987/88 wurde das zweite Album der Band, "No Place for Disgrace", aufgenommen, von vielen Metallern als besonders starkes Metal-Album betrachtet. Es erschien im Mai 1988 und war seinerzeit der Einstieg beim Major Label Elektra Records! Das Album enthält noch Songs mit der Handschrift von JASON NEWSTED, der auf dem ersten Album noch zur besetzung zählte und kurz vor Veröffentlichung des Zweitwerks zu METALLICA wechselte. "No Place For Disgrace" wurde seinerzeit gemixt und gemastert von der legende MICHAEL WAGENER und beinhaltet u. a. eine Cover-Version von ELTON JOHN'S Hit "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting". Die Band tourte damals als Vorgruppe von King Diamond in Amerika und mit Megadeth und Testament auf der "So far..., So good..., So what" Festival-Tour in Europa.

Die Band war allerdings stets unzufrieden mit dem Sound dieser Produktion, fügte sich aber seinerzeit den Vorstellungen ihres Major Labels. Nachdem auch immer mehr Fans nach einer Neuauflage in neuem Soundgewand gefragt haben, hat die Band sich schließlich dazu entschlossen, das Album 2013 komplett neu aufzunehmen! Dabei handelt es sich keineswegs um eine 1:1 Kopie, es beinhaltet neue Arrangements und teilweise geänderte Lyrics.

Bis heute zählt dieses längst nicht mehr erhältliche Album zum "Must Have" im Schrank eines jeden Metalfans!

History Of NDW erzählt die Geschichte der neuen
Deutschen Welle. Diese begann bereits Mitte der 70er
Jahre als Untergrundbewegung und wurde Anfang der 80er
Jahre zum kommerziellen Erfolg.
Diese Compilation beinhaltet zum Großteil Bands, die sich
am britischen Punk und New Wave orientierten und damit
den Weg ebneten, für die großen Erfolge der NDW in den
80ern.
Hier werden Erinnerungen wach an Kulthits von: Joachim
Witt, Ideal, Nichts, Malaria, Die Radierer,
Der Plan, Malaria u.v.m.
Die Neue Deutsche Welle war der Startschuß für
deutschsprachige Rock- und Popmusik, die zuvor
Keinen großen Stellenwert hatte.
Auch heute dürfen auf keiner Party die Hits der NDW
fehlen!

Into The Light go deeper into the archives of a ats (Vangelis Katsoulis) after featuring him on their highly acclaimed compilation late last year... great selection (as you'd expect) of ambient / new age gems from this king of Greek electronics. Shining TIP!

Italo Deviance Blog celebrates its first birthday with three killer edits on 12'. On the A side you'll find an extended & very powerful 'I wanted to tell her' by Ministry edited by Marcello Giordani. The B side contains an obscure track made in Canada but very Italo Disco flavoured 'Ladies Choice - American man' edited by Ajello and a crazy edit by special guest Beppe Loda of the release 'Captain Future - Freinde Greife an' (the German soundtrack of a cartoon from the early '80s). Ready to dance different~

The latest compilation, RM5 boasts twenty swinging rarities, including soul
legend Sharon Tandy singing under an alias, a demo version of a freak-beat
favourite, a track rumoured to be 'the king of soul', plus two tracks from
two bands, containing two members who would eventually form one of the
greatest seventies Glam bands ever - The Sweet.

The Montanas - Hey Diddle Diddle (Demo)
The Montanas formed in 1962 in Dudley and quickly established themselves as
a top local beat group. In 1965 they secured a deal with Pye records and
over the next four years issued a run of brilliant 45s including
Roundabout, Top Hat and their magnum opus That's When Happiness Begins,
which will no doubt be familiar to all. Their contract with Pye had expired
so they began recording new material in the hope of securing a new deal,
which lead to MCA issuing the brilliant Hey Diddle Diddle as a 45, but
featured here for the first time is the glorious demo version.

Debrah Aire - Don't Be Proud
The mysterious Miss Debrah Aire was in fact the legendary Sharon Tandy
recording under a pseudonym. Polydor records issued a version of Exodus -
This Land is Mine by her under this name in 1966 but the follow up, that we
feature here, was shelved and only recently rediscovered on white label
test pressing.

The Troop - You'll Call My Name
The Troop were from Harefield, Middlesex, and notable for the fact that
their lead singer was future frontman with The Sweet, Brian Connolly. This
was taken from what is thought to be the only surviving acetate.

The Dynamite Orchestra - Sh'Mon Part 2
Legend has it that Mr Dynamite is none other than the fabulous Mr. James
Brown. It was in fact an American group called The British Walkers from
Washington D.C.. It was issued in the UK, on Guy Steven's Sue Record label,
and it has gone on to achieve legendary status on the mod scene.

The Army - Sugar
The Army are best known as the group that spawned future Sweet bass
player/singer Steve Priest. In 1967 they cut two tracks that were never
released including this cover of the Joe Tex hit Sugar.

Begonnen hat Herbert Grönemeyer die Aufnahmen für sein neuntes Album zur Zeit des Mauerfalls, im November 1989. Die Euphorie, in der sich die Republik damals befand, mochte er aber nicht teilen: "Luxus" ist eine bittere, eine unzufriedene Platte. Schon im ersten Stück, "Hartgeld", weist Grönemeyer auf einen drohenden Ausverkauf des Ostens als Folge der Wiedervereinigung hin. Auch "Deine Liebe klebt", "Video" und "Freunde" sind kritische, zum Teil sogar boshafte Lieder, im letzten Stück der CD, "Sie", thematisiert er die Folgen eines Kindesmißbrauchs. Alles schwierig Herbert Grönemeyer wollte sich mit "Luxus" seinen Ruf als ernsthafter Musiker erhalten, nachdem der Vorgänger "Ö" doch sehr poppig geraten war. Das ist ihm, auch Dank seines Mutes zu schwierigen Themen, gelungen.

Two essentials from Ray Charles paired on one natty little 45. 'Mess Around' was one of Ray's first big hits, an irresistible piece of R&B that had floors messing around all over the US back when it was first released in 1953. 60 years on you will find that it has much the same effect - and the same can be said of the flip side 'I Got A Woman', another absolute classic, revived a few years back via Kanye West's usage of the song on his pop hit 'Gold Digger'. Nothing beats the original though!

Two more essential, groovy popcorn spins paired in one handy package. 'Nobody But Me' is a beautiful, blues-inflected early soul mover from Sam Chatmon, featuring a stunning vocal turn from sultry siren Gwinny Witherspoon. On the flipside is Donna Dee's 'Nobody's Gonna Hurt You', a great piece of late night, jazzy blues embellished by Dee's down south country accent. Whether intentional or otherwise, the two songs are lyrically and melodically similar, making this double sider another neat little offering from the popcorn label.

As the title, Robert Zimmerman Plays Bob Dylan, implies, these recordings show the young man we all now know as Dylan finding his way in NYC after bumming a ride from Madison in the early months of 1961. Featuring songs that were left off of his first two Columbia LPs, Bob Dylan and The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, as well as other assorted demos and unreleased recordings, this essential LP of early recordings perfectly captures his growth from traditional folk music interpreter into what he would become: America's greatest living songwriter.

After the success of the first three volumes, Musica Sol Y Mar are back with a fourth installment of Balearic Sound for 2013. The album contains tracks such as 'In Alto Mare' from sultry Italian singer Loredana Berte who delivers a killer piano-led groove that has been a summer favourite in the Mediterranean since its release in the early 1980s; the dope slo-mo Cosmic groove of 'My Baby My' by US soul singer Sue Ann Cardwell which was a big hit on the White Island as well as being popular with the Afro and Cosmic DJs in Italy. The slo-mo theme is continued with The Alan Parsons Project's mighty 'The Gold Bug' which the Quiet Village guys have been championing in recent years. Our Amnesia days are remembered with Switzerland's finest duo, Yello and their inimitable 'She's Got A Gun' which Alfredo often dropped in his warm up sets. Rock music has always been a key part of the Balearic sound and is showcased here by legends The Who and Rod Stewart. Rod's sleazy groove 'Passion' has been revived in recent years by Balearic Mike and Joel Martin in England whilst The Who's 'Eminence Front' has endured popularity in New York via David Mancuso and Larry Levan as well as Ibizan DJs. Jose Padilla's enduring influence is written large in the songs by Jevetta Steele, Malcolm McLaren and Alphonso Johnson - perfect to soundtrack a Café Del Mar sunset. All tracks featured here are either long deleted on vinyl or are seeing a vinyl release for the first time and have been re-mastered for maximum quality. Enjoy Balearic Sound Volumen Cuatro!

Superb replica reissue of the hard-to-find original 12' version of one the true classics of the jazz-funk stratosphere - the amazing and inimitable Running Away by vibes master Roy Ayers. Instantly recognisable from the first bass riffs, this seminal track from the late 70s is a dancefloor staple around the world crossing genres and generations to become one of the most-loved tracks of all time championed by more DJs than you can shake a stick at. Although Running Away is the undeniable star, on the flip 'Can't You See Me' is not to be sneezed at either - a summery cool groover with sweet vocals and a breezy Brazilian feel. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of jazz-funk history

Quality limited reissue of this classic LP from Californian singer/songwriter, Ned Doheny. Though beloved of the recent Balearic scene with fans including Harvey, Lexx, Moonboots et al, Ned was under-appreciated during his own era with this superlative LP only ever securing a vinyl release in Japan, making it a seriously hard to get hold of album but definitely worth the effort. Following on from his iconic Hard Candy LP, 1979's Prone is again bursting with Californian sun-soaked gems showcasing Doheny's signature laidback funky musical style and relaxed unpolished vocals. From quality soulful groovers such as Think Like A Lover and If You Only Knew through to the sophisticated disco sounds of Sweet Friction and Funky Love, there's not a filler in sight but the icing on this tasty West Coast cake has got to be DJ's favourite - the great jazz-funk floor-filler To Prove My Love. An essential album - don't miss!
