20 years after the last release the comeback-album of THE KELLY FAMILY stormed to # 1 in the german charts. With over 500,000 CDs sold and more than 400,000 fans on the sold-out “WE GOT LOVE” European tour, THE KELLY FAMILY did not even think they had the chance: “What we’ve experienced on this tour is unique.
Fans from young to old, parents with their children, but also an incredible number of new fans – they all celebrated life and music with us night after night “, so the touching conclusion of the musicians.
Their preliminary final celebrated the sensation tour on the open air stage Loreley on 24 and 25 August 2018, when the band returned to the place steeped in history for them. Together with nearly 30,000 fans, they deeply moved memories of 1995, when the Irish band gave one of their most legendary outdoor concerts of the “Over The Hump” era.
As a perfect complement to the 2017 live release documenting the first comeback hall shows, “WE GOT LOVE – LIVE AT LORELEY” captures the overwhelming open-air feeling on this historic KELLY live stage with a setlist of new hits and surprises on.

Leif Ove Andsnes – Chopin: Ballades & Nocturnes (2018) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

Chopin wasn’t one for endowing his compositions with poetic titles. Unlike his contemporary Robert Schumann, the composer kept the titles of his work fairly simple, with no literary references such as those found in the poetic evocations of Carnaval or Kinderszenen to assist the imagination. But when, in the mid-1830s, Chopin presented a new piece naming it “Ballade,” Schumann noted that Chopin was the first to apply this literary term to a musical work. What was the nature of this new genre for solo piano? What kind of story was it telling?

This live recording brings together an extraordinary combination of artistic abundance: Remy Ballot conducting the music of Anton Bruckner, enacted at Bruckner’s place of work, the basilica of St. Florian in Upper Austria. Captured at the annual festival Brucknertage, the musical youth of the Upper Austrian Symphonic Youth Orchestra enjoyed the great honour to give a celebrated performance in a one-of-a-kind setting. The vigour and professionalism joined by the intuition of Ballot provide for some goosebumps and appends another worthy opus to a series which has been critically acclaimed and lavished with prestigious international awards.

Recorded live at London’s celebrated Wigmore Hall, this captivating recital by Joyce DiDonato and the Brentano Quartet was conceived around Jake Heggie’s song cycle Camille Claudel: Into the Fire, a work written for DiDonato – she describes it as “one of most moving projects I’ve ever been part of”.

Songs by Debussy and Strauss and a quartet movement by Guillaume Lekeu complete the programme, which prompted the Financial Times to write that “the beauty and range” of DiDonato’s singing “are surely now at their impressive peak.”

Hurriganes – Roadrunner (1974) [Reissue 2007] {PS3 ISO + FLAC}

Genre: Rock

Hurriganes was a hugely popular Finnish rock & roll band formed in 1971. Their music was a belated take on classic rock & roll, and the band was equally adept at writing their own modern classics as they were covering supercharged versions of songs by Fats Domino, Bo Diddley, or the J. Geils Band.

Hurriganes revitalized the Finnish rock music scene, particularly with their second album, 1974’s Roadrunner. The album, named after the Bo Diddley song, demolished the charts and is not only considered one of the best classic rock & roll albums in Finland, but it was also the best-selling album in its native land from 1974 to 1985. The single release of the song they added as a lark to the album when it came up too short, “Get On,” has been named numerous times as the finest single rock & roll song released in Finland by both the public and the press. Järvinen took the intro from Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” and added a ferocious lead throughout the three-and-a-half-minute song, Aaltonen punched it up with a revved-up beat and nonsense lyrics that touched upon most of the rock & roll clichés of the past, and Häkkinen solidified the mixture with his sturdy basslines… Roadrunner is regarded as one of the best Finnish rock records ever released, and in 2007, it was re-released as a SACD mixed to a 5.1 format.

Hugh Masekela – Hope (1994) [Analogue Productions Remaster 2008] {PS3 ISO + FLAC}

Hugh Masekela – Hope (1994) [Analogue Productions Remaster 2008]

Now happily resettled in South Africa, Masekela assembled a seven-piece group there and recorded an informal guided tour of his life and repertoire live in Washington D.C.’s Blues Alley. The songs stretch over a period of nearly five decades and several countries and composers — from an incantatory Alexandria township tune, “Languta,” which he learned in 1947, to a fairly ordinary piece written by keyboardist Themba Mkhize in 1993, “Until When.” “Abangoma” starts the CD out on the right track, hearkening back to the early fusion of African music and jazz that Masekela was playing back in 1966. “Mandela (Bring Him Back Home)” may have lost some of its political raison d’etre by 1993, but it remains a good tune, and the band plays it with enthusiasm. Yet Masekela’s biggest hit, “Grazing in the Grass,” sounds a bit tired in this live rendition. There are two songs by the prolific South African composer Caiphus Semenya, “Nomali” and the driving “Ha Le Se,” and the late Nigerian idol Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is represented by “Lady.” Clearly the resolution of the political struggle in South Africa had mellowed Masekela; he sounds happier, perhaps less fiery, certainly more polished and refined on the trumpet and flugelhorn than when he started out. But when you hear his bitter narration on “Stimela,” describing the life of formerly conscripted coal miners, you suspect that not all of the old wounds have healed. (more…)

Genre: Jazz

Hiroshima, a group whose music falls between R&B, pop, world music, and jazz, has long had its own niche. The band integrates traditional Japanese instruments into their musical blend and has generally been both commercial and creative within its genre.

Few bands have so artfully and appealingly blended pop, R&B, jazz and world music over the past few decades as this East L.A.-bred ensemble, Hiroshima, which enters the new millennium with a set that draws on everything from old-school soul to Les McCann to the Japanese traditions so dear to its heart. Heads Up will no doubt market this as a smooth jazz project, but only a few tracks are middle of the road enough to truly qualify. The best of these, the lilting and inspirational “Believe,” balances Terry Steele’s seductive soul vocals with the exotic touches of bandleader Dan Kuramoto’s breathy alto flute and June Kuramoto’s trademark koto. “Another Wish” also captures the dreamy side of their artistry. That’s part of the secret of Hiroshima’s success; even at their mellowest, there’s still a feast for globally attuned ears. Then when they go funky, as on the horn driven “Shaka Phonk,” there are always June’s glistening strings floating beyond the groove. The disc begins with a tune (“Eternal Phoenix”) that offers a colorful hodgepodge of all their best elements, from ancient chimes and flutes to hypnotic percussion, modern grooving and distant, crunchy fusion guitars. The band has gone through various female lead vocalists but does even better with Terry Steele, who creates appealing updates of classic Isley Brothers and George Benson tunes. (more…)

Year: 1986-2017

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte. Formed in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band was a major force in the thrash metal and groove metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alternative metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal. Sepultura has also been credited as one of the leaders of the second wave of thrash metal in the late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s.

Kisser, who replaced Jairo Guedz in 1987, has played on all of the band’s studio albums, except for their debut Morbid Visions (1986) and the split Bestial Devastation (1985).

Sepultura has released fourteen studio albums to date, the latest being Machine Messiah (2017). Their most successful records are Beneath the Remains (1989), Arise (1991), Chaos A.D. (1993) and Roots (1996).

More Power Rock than Power Pop, when released in September 1980, the album became XTC’s first Top 20 chart album in the U.K., narrowly missed the Top 40 (No. 41) in the USA where it was issued in November, but spent an impressive 24 weeks on the Billboard chart nonetheless. The sense of immediacy, the rush of a band fully living up to its potential is as apparent now as it was when the album first came out & Steven Wilson’s new stereo & 5.1 mixes bring out every nuance of the original performances on what was, already, one of the best engineered & produced albums of the era.
