The soundtrack of "Dirty Heroes" (1967) captures the intensity and emotion of Holland's spring 1945, where two armies clash in the twilight of World War II. Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai's masterful composition evokes the tension and drama of the final confrontation, blending haunting melodies with powerful orchestration to mirror the struggle between the Allies and the remnants of the Third Reich.

As the name suggests, the album en casa veglia was created in an old house in the village of Gün. The former farmhouse is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, unspoilt nature, mountains, streams, forests and meadows. With your eyes closed, the surroundings are no less intoxicating. If you listen instead of just looking, you will be rewarded with a vast variety of sounds. This modern jazz quartet, led by double bass player Vito Cadonau, does not discriminate against "noise" as such, but appreciates and uses it as a musical treasure. After all, the Romansh word "ramur" means nothing less than "noise".

The album showcases Simone’s versatility and proves that she was one of the greatest powerhouse vocalists in music history.

This album is typical of Herb Alpert's '80s style, with his familiar horn sound grafted to contemporary dance and R&B rhythm tracks. He even got the old Motown team of Holland-Dozier-Holland to write and co-produce a couple of tunes. Although there is nothing here to rival Alpert's 1979 comeback "Rise," he had multi-format success with the album, which charted pop, R&B, and jazz and threw off two chart singles, "Garden Party" and "Red Hot.

"The undoubtedly most hyped stoner/psychedelic band from Eastern Europe, Stoned Jesus, returns with its third full-length entitled ""The Harvest"". Moving away from their doom-metal roots, musicians now look for inspiration both in prog-rock and grunge, which results in tracks as experimental as soaring ""Black Church"" epic. With future classic like ""YFS"" and multi-layered ""Silkworm Confessions"", ""The Harvest"" is cementing Stoned Jesus' fame as one of the leading bands within the genre - and beyond!"
