RATING: (POLITE APPLAUSE) The three works recorded here, all written in a 2 1/2-year span (1938-40), comprise Britten's entire output for solo piano and orchestra. By turns riotous, ruminative, mystery-shrouded and cheerfully gaudy, the Piano Concerto reveals... ...

RATING: (ALERT VIEWER) An A-list team of performers makes a spirited, intermittently winning but finally unpersuasive case for Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A Minor. This oddly structured work consists of an expansive sonata movement followed by a theme and... ...

Earth, Wind, & Fire's special DVD/CD set celebrates Maurice White's final tour with the legendary group with style. 1990 proved to be a landmark year for Earth, Wind, and Fire. First, they released Heritage, an attempt to merge their traditional R&B sound with more contemporary hip-hop influences. Then they underwent a tour supporting the album, but it proved to be a more significant event for a different reason: it marked the final tour where... ...

<span style=\"font-style: italic\">Stone of Sisyphus</span> is the great-lost Chicago album, at least till now with its release via Rhino. Recorded in 1993 in the wake of a series of middle-of &ndash;the road commercial successes, and originally intended as <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Chicago XXII</span>, the album was conceived by the band and its producer Peter Wolf (once a Zappa sideman) as a return to the early approach the band utilized in creating original material arranged with room for improvisation. ...

The deluxe reissue edition of Dennis Wilson's classic solo release of 1977, Pacific Ocean Blue, takes its place among the great lost or forgotten rock classics, including the Beach Boys' Smile, which has never been released in its original version. Certainly Dennis Wilson was the unsung hero behind the Beach Boys' brilliance. ...

I'll begin this Review by thanking Broadcast 2000 . This CD is like a breath of fresh air and perfect for chilling out and laying back. It's the type of music that you can have on in the background and just feel the infectious melodies swirling around your head. This type of music my not be to everyone's taste, but there's no denying it has a certain charm to it. A charm that has not gone unnoticed by advertising types either as one of the tracks actually features on an Eon advertisement at the minute. Opener 'Run' sets the tone with simple melodies and harmonic vocals and it quite refreshing to hear music still being made this way. That's not to say it's old fashioned, it sounds very much like a modern interpretation of how music used to be made. The emphasis is very much on the harmonies, backed by limited guitar and percussion, and a nice Xylophone riff in the case of 'Run.' Over Soon' continues the trend and the soft vocals really are soothing on the ears. The harmonies and 'ooh wah' parts throughout the song really float over the instruments to great effect. Even two songs in you can tell these are songs that are not being rushed anywhere, the listener is being brought along to enjoy the ride rather than merely get to the next song. The more you immerse yourself in these songs the more can appreciate each element individually. 'Don't Weigh Me Down' features twice on the CD; in its original form and in the form of a James Yuill remi ...

Rose Kemp was born into the music business. The daughter of Maddy Prior and Rick Kemp from British outfit Steeleye Span her first contributions were in 2002 on the album Bib and Tuck' by Maddy Prior And The Girls. She then released her debut album entitled 'Glance' the following year and since then has been developing into what we hear today. Unholy Majesty is the title of the new album and it does indeed have influences you'd expect from such an album. Taking inspiration from the likes of Black Sabbath all the way along the spectrum to Tom Waits, for example. It's not really for me though. I appreciate what she's doing, it's just all a bit dark for right now. The world needs some happiness and you aren't particularly going to get that from Rose. It's more misery and dread. The ten track album includes pre-album download single 'Nanny's World' which was out in June, as well as tracks entitled 'Milky White' and 'Flawless'. She tours in September.

Blackmore’s Night - Secret Voyage Okay, this might be changing gears quite a bit from the Iced Earth epic above, but bear with me. Say what you want at former Deep Purple/guitar god Richie Blackmore’s foray into medieval minstrel music, but you cannot fault the quality of their releases. Whether an original composition, one of Henry VII’s [...] ...

The influences are obvious with the Killer B&rsquo;s: The Beatles, The Band, The Beach Boys, and these boys fit perfectly in the midst of the current indie-hippy revival alongside Dr. Dog, Cold War Kids, Hymns and a host of others. <br /> ...
