Reign Ghost (1969). Reign Ghost was a late '60s rock group from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. The member lineup was a changeable one, consisting at one time or another of singer Lynda Squires, guitarists Bob Bryden and Jim Stright, keyboardist Dave Hair, bassists Jerry Dufek, Russ Erman, and Joe Gallant, and drummers Helge "Rich" Richter and Bob Stright. In 1968, the band signed with the Allied Records label. The result was a self-titled album released in January of the next year.
Even though they were still children (Bob and Lynda were both 17 when the sessions happened), they managed to tap into the universal psych font. And while there is some occasional clunkiness, it really sorta adds to the record's charm…

As is the way for a lot of atmospheric black metal, the music of Belore is essentially the work of a single person. In this case, a French chap by the name of Aleevok is the founding musician of Belore who came to life in 2019. Since 2021, Aleevok has enlisted the assistance of drummer Charlie Videau (Nydvind) but the remainder of the music is created by the hand of the main protagonist, including all lyrics. Belore's first two albums were journeys into forgotten lands, where each title told a story - a world where landscapes, magic and medieval history exist side by side. Continuing in this tradition, the third album features seven captivating and varied songs of Epic/Atmospheric Black Metal reminiscent of bands like Summoning, Caladan Brood or Emyn Muil. The album transports listeners to a fictional, medieval world where they can let themselves be carried away by their imagination.

Motörhead's overwhelmingly loud and fast style of heavy metal was one of the most groundbreaking sounds the genre had to offer in the late '70s. Though the group's leader, Lemmy Kilmister, had his roots in the hard-rocking space rock band Hawkwind, Motörhead didn't bother with his old group's progressive tendencies, choosing to amplify the heavy biker-rock elements of Hawkwind with the speed of punk rock.

Goose Fusing electro, punk, indie pop, and glam rock, Goose is a Belgian quartet with a muscular, danceable sound. Debuting with the electro-charged Bring It On in 2006, they embraced vintage synth-disco with 2010's Synrise and went in more of a coldwave/industrial direction with 2022's Endless. Lead vocalist Mickael Karkousse, guitarist Dave Martijn, bassist Tom Coghe, and drummer Bert Libeert formed Goose in Kortrijk in 2000. Initially an AC/DC covers band, they won the Humo's Rock Rally contest in 2002 with their own material, and after their debut single, "Audience," was chosen as the soundtrack to a European Coca-Cola advert, they signed with Skint Records. Following the release of their 2006 debut album, Bring It On, they won Best National Alternative Act at the TMF Awards; had their music featured on the likes of Dirty Sexy Money, CSI, and Chuck; and gained critical acclaim with 2010's Synrise and 2012's Control Control Control. Goose returned in 2016 with What You Need and an accompanying film of the same name by Willy Vanderperre. Nonstop, recorded live at the Pukkelpop festival, appeared in 2018. A few singles were released over the following years, appearing on 2021's Something New with remixes. Drifting away from the band's earlier dance-punk sound, the darker, more atmospheric Endless was released in 2022.

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define hard rock. With his preening machismo and latent maliciousness, Mick Jagger became the prototypical rock frontman, tempering his macho showmanship with a detached, campy irony while Keith Richards and Brian Jones wrote the blueprint for sinewy, interlocking rhythm guitars. Backed by the strong yet subtly swinging rhythm section of bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts, the Stones became the breakout band of the British blues scene, eclipsing such contemporaries as the Animals and Them.

The 90s have created legendary party classics, no good party without 90s sound! Nobody can sit still when classics like "The Riddle", "Pump Up The Jam", "Coco Jamboo", "Tears Don't Lie", "The Bomb" or "Show Me Love" are blasting out of the speakers!

Susannah McCorkle spoke Italian, Spanish, German, and Portuguese in addition to English; she had worked as an interpreter before she devoted herself to singing. On her second Concord CD, McCorkle sang ten Brazilian songs plus "Estate," switching between English, Portuguese, and Italian. There is no communication problem as far as conveying her feelings and the high quality of the melodies, so this is a more accessible release than one might think. The vocalist's backup group includes pianist Lee Musiker, Scott Hamilton on tenor, and guitarist Emily Remler.

Dark, disturbing, percussive, and theatrical are words that come to mind when listening to this unique album from the mid 70's. Influences include early Peter Gabriel, Gentle Giant, Il Balletto di Bronzo, ELP, and even John Cage. "Empty Bottles", the 23-minute bonus track, is almost worth the price of the CD. It is quite different from the first 5 tracks, and emphasizes complex jamming (improvised?). A couple of the last tracks from the original album tend to drag a bit due to slow tempos. But, after the complex sections in the first 4 tracks, the slower tempos at the end of the album are more than a welcome relief.

A universally acknowledged masterpiece, Another Green World represents a departure from song structure and toward a more ethereal, minimalistic approach to sound. Despite the stripped-down arrangements, the album's sumptuous tone quality reflects Eno's growing virtuosity at handling the recording studio as an instrument in itself (à la Brian Wilson). There are a few pop songs scattered here and there ("St. Elmo's Fire," "I'll Come Running," "Golden Hours"), but most of the album consists of deliberately paced instrumentals that, while often closer to ambient music than pop, are both melodic and rhythmic; many, like "Sky Saw," "In Dark Trees," and "Little Fishes," are highly imagistic, like paintings done in sound that actually resemble their titles. Lyrics are infrequent, but when they do pop up, they follow the free-associative style of albums past; this time…
