25 Jahre "Masters Of Chant"! Limited 2CD Digipak Edition. Seit 25 Jahren begeistern GREGORIAN weltweit Millionen von Menschen mit ihrer Fähigkeit, nahtlos von klassischen Chorälen zu Pop- und Rock-Songs zu wechseln. Mit ihren choreografierten Shows haben sie zudem neue Maßstäbe gesetzt. Die Idee zu GREGORIAN entstand, als der Hamburger Hit-Produzent Frank Peterson (Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, José Carreras, Justin Timberlake, Backstreet Boys u.v.m.) im Jahr 1989 das königliche Kloster von San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spanien besuchte. Dort fand er die Inspiration, altertümliche gregorianische Musik mit modernen Songs zu mischen – ein einzigartiges Soundexperiment. Peterson setzte die Idee erstmals mit Michael Cretu und dem weltweiten Sound-Phänomen „Enigma“ um. Das erste Album „MCMXC a.D.“ erschien 1990 und wurde schon nach kurzer Zeit ein weltweiter Erfolg.

Emerging from Liverpool, England in 1960, the Beatles were a seminal British group that evolved from rock/pop origins into pioneers of musical experimentation. The band solidified its iconic lineup in 1962, featuring John Lennon (vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica, keyboards, percussion), Paul McCartney (vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals, keyboards), and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals, percussion) after signing a recording contract with EMI. This followed a brief period with Stuart Sutcliffe (bass, 1960-61) and Pete Best (drums, 1960-62).

A fairly standard trawl through Lene Lovich's back pages, rounding up all the hits and near misses that punctuated her four years at Stiff Records, backed up by more choice album cuts than one might remember there being. For obvious reasons, the Stateless debut album predominates here, with the manic flurry of "Lucky Number," "Say When," and "I Think We're Alone Now" positively refusing to leave your head once you've heard them again. Moving on, the enthralling "Bird Song" reminds you what Kate Bush once seemed capable of accomplishing (at least until Hazel O'Connor came along and devalued the whole thing), while a delicious cover of Frankie Valli's "The Night" still out-dramas any other version you could name. Lovich's later years, however, still sound as unremarkable as her early releases were astonishing, with the annoying "New Toy" single, and 1982's barely memorable "It's You (Only You)" closing the chronology in disappointing fashion. For anyone uncertain about rushing into Stateless itself, however, this is where you test the water. You'll be plunging in at the deep end soon enough.

Released in 1997 by Columbia Records, Miles Davis Plays Ballads is a curated archival compilation focusing on the legendary trumpeter’s unmatched lyrical sensibility and mastery of slow-tempo balladry. Spanning key eras of his output for Columbia, the collection brings together foundational performances alongside landmark sidemen including tenor sax icons John Coltrane and Sonny Stitt, pianist Bill Evans, and orchestrator Gil Evans. The 9-track program highlights Davis's signature muted tone and poignant spatial discipline on iconic masterworks, including the modal beauty of "Flamenco Sketches" (from Kind of Blue), Gil Evans' lush orchestral frameworks on "My Ship" and "I Loves You, Porgy" (from Porgy and Bess), the classic 1956 quartet/quintet reading of "Dear Old Stockholm," and later expanded modal excursions like "Circle" and "Mood." Perfect for both newcomers and seasoned collectors, this compilation stands as a definitive primer on Miles Davis's enduring ballad style.

Paul McCartney Out of all the former Beatles, Paul McCartney has had the most successful and diverse solo career, maintaining a constant presence in the British and American charts during the 1970s and '80s and becoming a musical and cultural icon in the decades since. McCartney's hot streak began in 1970, when he became the first Beatle to leave the group and quickly began accumulating hit singles and best-selling albums as a solo artist. Then, he formed Wings in late 1971 with his wife Linda and Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine, and the group remained active for the next ten years, racking up a string of hit albums, singles, and tours in the meantime. Wings disbanded in 1980, but McCartney stayed near the top of the charts over the next five years, thanks in part to a couple of big duets with Michael Jackson. McCartney revived his solo career in 1989 via Flowers in the Dirt and its accompanying international tour, setting a template he would follow into the new millennium, when he'd support his records by playing concerts around the world. Between these massive endeavors, McCartney pursued other projects, including classical compositions, an electronica outfit with Youth called the Fireman, and overseeing archival projects such as the Beatles' Anthology series.

2015 two CD set. The 80s is a decade that has left us not only an unforgettable catalog of songs, but also a wide list of talented artists that so many years later, are still active, both touring and recording new material. 80s: Re-Covered is a fantastic project in which 12 essential artists of the 80's (Kim Carnes, Curiosity Killed The Cat, Heaven 17, ABC, Black, Kim Wilde, etc) take on the challenge of reworking non-'80s songs with an '80s sound. The result is an album with an amazing repertoire that also works as a hidden-gem of the 80s. The recordings were created exclusively for this project, arranged and produced by a team that includes Robin Millar (Sade, Fine Young Cannibals, Big Country, Eric Clapton and Sting among many others). 80s: Re-Covered is a pharaonic and unique project, which has been already acclaimed and requested by our distributors and fans all over the world and definitely will deliver it's fair share of worldwide hit singles. An album that will make history.
