‘Basically, it’s about transience’ Eno says of the new recording, whose moments of silence are of great importance in allowing the music to breathe while the listener explores what they feel and what comes to mind. His new album ‘the skies, they shift like chords’ builds on the soundscape of piano and strings that Eno first introduced on his first solo album ‘The Turning Year’. With instruments such as electric guitar, clarinet, bass clarinet, vibraphone, flute organ and electronica, he creates an emotional thread that accompanies you as you listen. He draws his inspiration from his connection to his home in East Anglia. Most of the pieces were created from improvisations, the musical ‘snapshots’ Eno speaks of. ‘They are best captured by foregoing detail’. Roger Eno releases his second solo album the skies, they shift like chords on Deutsche Grammophon.

About the album, guitarist Scott Holiday said, ‘When you do two albums back-to-back like this, there are a lot of things to think about. The first record has to pack enough of a punch and tell enough of a story for the second half to have an even bigger impact. We balanced them out with energy and meaning, but the follow-up always needed to deliver a bigger blow. I think ‘LIGHTBRINGER’ provides this’.

A mix of reverence and adventure. An intimate and demanding solo guitar outing by Ratko Zjaca. 8 standard 2 originals. Each song played on a different legendary instrument.
Dedicated to the world‘s most famous guitar builders and inspired by a list of musical teachers who opened up his musical horizons, from Joe Pass and Jim Hall to Joe Diorio, Mick Goodrick and Vic Juris. Archtop Avenue is a compelling addition to the canon of solo guitar and a crowning achievement in Zjaca‘s career to date. In an interview for his previous album with the ZZ Quartet, 2021’s Midnight in Europe, Croatian-born guitarist Ratko Zjaca explained how he and the group’s co-leader, Italian accordionist Simone Zanchini, came to be so utterly eclectic in their musical tastes. “We like Hendrix, we like Fellini, we like Wayne Shorter, we like Michael Brecker, we like John Coltrane…and everything.”

“Diamonds And Pearls” is Prince’s thirteenth studio album – and it was also the first with his new backing band The New Power Generation. How much the chemistry between the musicians was right can be seen not only in the glowing reviews but also in the numbers: Six massive international singles spawned the 1991 album – including the hits “Gett Off,” “Cream” and the iconic title track – and was a worldwide chart success, including #3 and double platinum in the U.S., #8 and platinum in Germany, and #2 and triple platinum in the U.K., where “Diamonds And Pearls” remains Prince’s best-selling album to this day.
Now Paisley Park Enterprises, in collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Records, will reissue “Diamonds And Pearls” in physical, digital and streaming formats. The classic album will be heard for the first time in remastered quality and will feature no less than 47 previously unreleased tracks as well as over 2 hours of unreleased concert performances from Prince’s legendary archive.

Philippe Tondre presents the most important musical project of his life. There was no doubt about the choice of programme. The music of Robert Schumann is, in a way, his Madeleine de Proust. The Romances opus 94 rocked him from an early age and accompanied him throughout his studies. All these late works for instrument and piano by Heinz Holliger and Alfred Brendel, Alexeï and Leonid Ogrintchouk, Albrecht Mayer and Markus Becker were included in his first recordings. This project was an opportunity to rekindle the flame of many emotions that have marked him over the last fifteen years. These memories have guided him throughout the recording: every element of his musical education has played a part in this recording journey.

Pet Shop Boys announce the upcoming release of ‘Relentless’ – a special limited edition issued to celebrate the 30th anniversary of an album which occupies a legendary status in their catalogue. Pet Shop Boys’ fifth studio album ‘Very’ was released in September 1993 to massive acclaim and success (the album was preceded by the singles ‘Can you forgive her?’ and ‘Go west’, still two of the duo’s most popular songs today). It charted at Number 1 in the UK and all five singles entered the UK Top 20. A limited edition of the record, ‘Very Relentless’ was also released including a six-track dance album, ‘Relentless’, which was also available at the time as a rare standalone album and limited to just 500 copies. This swiftly became one of the most sought-after Pet Shop Boys artefacts. The six tracks on ‘Relentless’ have not been available since the original release. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the ‘Relentless’ album will now be released as a CD.
