Oğuz Büyükberber, Ned McGowan and Tolga Tüzün come together once again as Not Trio, this time with a new program of experimental and eloquent works originating from the thought and expressive processes of these three accomplished performer/composers. Compositions with improvisations make up the bulk of the works here as their collaboration takes a big step to greater depths of listening, timing, communicating and carefully choosing their expressions from each one’s broad musical experiences.

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 50:04 minutes | 518 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Kscope
Digitally remastered edition of this 2011 live album. Started as a one-man studio project in 2005 by multi-instrumentalist Giancarlo Erra before evolving then into a full band, Nosound inventively combines influences from ’70s psychedelia, ’80s/’90s ambient, soundtracks, contemporary alternative and post-rock. The music is evocative and intense with personal songwriting and uses a variety of vintage and modern electronic instruments. Influences range from Pink Floyd to Brian Eno, from Radiohead to Sigur Ros, passing through rock and electronic music. The album was recorded during the rehearsal process for a special one-off Nosound solo gig that Erra performed in London in August 2010. For this intimate gig, Giancarlo created new track arrangements along with a new live setup that allowed him to play keyboards and/or acoustic guitar while singing as well as using and recreating all the original sounds and effects from the original studio albums. No backing tracks were used, only loops/tapes and real live played instruments. The tracks were recorded straight from stereo outputs with no overdubs or edits involved resulting in unique and personal interpretations of the best tracks from the band’s catalogue.

Norwegian Radio Orchestra & Miguel Harth-Bedoya – Inca Trail Connections (2021)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:00:29 minutes | 590 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Naxos
The Caminos del Inca, or Inca Trails, is a road network that traverses South America connecting lands and peoples. The area’s musical traditions are ancient and varied, taking in indigenous sounds as well as European influences, and the composers represented on this album have all been inspired by this musical legacy, the people of their homeland, and the land itself. The interconnections include late-Romanticism, folkloric dances, reinterpretation of popular music, mestizo (“hybrid”) elements, Stravinsky-like primitivism, and music of simplicity and beauty that both captures and celebrates village life.

With works inspired by myths and mechanics, cosmic motion and human emotion, originating from Europe and the Americas to Africa, Asia and Australasia, the themes in this collection of world premiere recordings range as widely as their origins.

Northwest Community Gospel Chorus, Oregon Symphony & Charles Floyd – Gospel Christmas (Live) (2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:08:27 minutes | 1,47 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © PentaTone
This live recording was produced in honor of the 20th anniversary of Gospel Christmas with the Northwest Community Gospel Chorus and the Oregon Symphony.
Once considered an unlikely marriage of musical genres, gospel music with symphony orchestra has now established itself as a tradition. While blues, hymns, and spirituals are typical sources of inspiration for gospel music, the song selections are inspired by many centuries of sacred music.
These selections reflect the transformative nature of gospel music itself – from classical music to Latin flavors, R&B, canticles and carols from the first century, the art of the film score, and a bounty of musical traditions that do not compromise the reverence and soulful export at the core of the musical substance.
The visceral communication is not dissimilar to that of opera, where voice and orchestra align, but today’s gospel music with symphony orchestra has uniquely established itself as an art form all its own.

It was during the All Star Jam at Progpower USA Festival in 2007 that current Nightwish singer Floor Jansen and Pagan’s Mind guitarist Jorn Viggo Lofstad spontaneously joined forces on stage for some cover songs and noticed the creative magic between them. Although the two musicians had never met before, they soon discovered their mutual love for stripped down hard rock and decided to write some songs together. In 2008, still barely knowing each other, they composed an entire album’s worth of material in next to no time. But due to their tight schedules with their main bands, their new project, named Northward, never found its way into the spotlight – until this day!

It’s about feeling like your fire for something might be slowly fading out, and that it might be your fault. It could be a passion, a relationship, or a specific chapter in your life. It’s that self doubt that can come in waves, and the whole thought process that goes along with that. When you begin to doubt your own direction, it’s easy to assume others around you are doubting you too. Firecracker is about feeling that pressure, anxiety, and paranoia. It’s sort of a strange feeling thinking “the whole world is against me…including me.”

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Legacy Recordings
Fittingly named after the Mississippi town in which Cody and Luther Dickinson and Chris Chew all grew up, „Hernando“ is the roadhouse trio’s most personal record. It’s also their finest. Recorded at their own Zebra studios (aka “The Barn”) by Cody and Luther’s father, legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson, and released on their own label, Songs of the South Records, the album has a warmth and earthiness that suggest comfort in their own skin and surroundings.
Most importantly, though, „Hernando“ is the first North Mississippi All-Stars record to break out of the blues tribute-band mold and reveal their biggest influences: ’70s classic rock, ’80s metal, and ’90s grunge, the same stuff every pot-smoking teenager in America cut their teeth on. “Eaglebird” grooves like vintage ZZ Top; “Rooster’s Blues” redirects Jimmy Page riffs through an Alice in Chains prism; and “Keep the Devil Down” is a bluesy take on late Metallica. Herein lies „Hernando’s“ greatest pleasure: a blues roots band staying true to its real roots.
