Eight songs played solo piano, alternative versions of some of the songs from Dardust's latest album of the same name, released in November, a work that challenges the conventions of neoclassical/contemporary music, breaking down the boundaries between the arts and uniting music and architecture. Urban Impressionism is the matching folio of the eponymous new recording project by Italian composer, producer and pianist Dardust. He once again challenges the conventions of neoclassical/contemporary music and does so, as is his wont, by breaking down the boundaries between the arts, uniting music and architecture, harmonising contrasts but starting from new sources of inspiration. On the one hand, the architectural geometries of urban suburbs, from brutalism to post-modernism, which in music are translated into genuine expressions, forged without recourse to embellishments or production artifices; on the other, the rapid brushstrokes of pictorial impressionism, reflected in his approach to composition. Dardust explores new urban scenarios through journeys and sound recordings in the suburbs of different cities and does so by modelling himself on the Impressionists' ability to paint scenes of modern life in the open air, depicting reality subjectively and emphasising personal and immediate perception rather than precision detail.

The Magic Time Machine of Love finds Nashville's Burrito Brothers-Chris P. James (vocals/keys), Bob Hatter (guitars), Tony Paoletta (pedal steel) and Peter Young (drums)-pushing cosmic-American music into tomorrow with eleven tracks that mingle fresh songwriting with daring reinventions: Gram Parsons' voice, isolated via the same AI technology used on the Beatles' "Now and Then," soars alongside the band on "Pride of Man" and "More and More," while Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" appears in a lush country-soul arrangement restoring Keith Reid's unused verses. Original Flying Burrito alumni Jon Corneal and Ian Dunlop swagger through "Used to Do," steel-guitar legend Al Perkins adds shimmer to "More and More," and the James Brothers lend harmonies to a twang-kissed cover of the Beatles' "What Goes On." From the progressive-country sweep of "Tales of Desire" to the vintage Bakersfield snap of "Love Blast," this limited-edition CD bridges past and present, expanding the Burrito legacy while honoring the genre's richest traditions.

Brooklyn-based duo Rachael and Vilray have achieved a timeless quality with their singular take on traditional pop. Their 10 songs transcend nostalgia with wit, a flair for the theatrical and extravagant personality. On their third album, West of Broadway, vocalist Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive) and guitarist/singer/songwriter Vilray bring their luminous vocals to offbeat tales of love and heartache, as they unfold a series of sharply drawn vignettes of their beloved New York City.

This release focuses on a unique selection from Beethoven's late period: works for piano with an optional flute part - ad libitum - that reveal a rarely explored, yet all the more fascinating side of the composer. Framing Beethoven's monumental Hammerklavier Sonata, the two sets of folk song variations form the greatest conceivable contrast to this pianistic summit work. While the sonata, with its formal and technical radicalism, is considered the epitome of Beethoven's late style, the surrounding pieces are characterised by cantabile lines, accessible virtuosity and a sense of chamber-like lightness.
