Simon Chivallon does not hesitate to quote Jacques Prévert, to revisit Nino Ferrer or to interpret Georges Gershwin, Georges Brassens and Frédéric Chopin. His palette of colors, all in finesse, explores eras, crosses time with magic, and this is indeed his identity: plural, timeless, and not devoid of a certain ‘joyful nostalgia’, from a feeling of Saudade to his way. A young pianist who has not finished surprising us, to follow closely…

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Navona
TITRATION: a term used in chemistry to describe the process where two reagents are mixed drop by drop to avoid the explosive reaction that would occur from pouring them together quickly. Titration is also used to describe a therapeutic process in which one approaches trauma very slowly, “drop by drop,” so as to avoid unnecessary distress, flooding and potential re-traumatization. No title could be better fitting for Shara Nova’s new cycle of healing songs, recorded by The Crossing with conductor Donald Nally. TITRATION examines the experience of our own bodies, the capacity of our nervous systems, and the quest to identify and embrace our most difficult feelings. Styles converge, warm sounds emerge and voices soar next to laughter, humming, and the energy of Shara’s Indie band roots, with songs deeply inspired by Resmaa Menakem’s Somatic Abolitionist body of work and his call for communal practice. TITRATION offers a glimpse into various healing modalities while extending a hand of self-awareness to listeners alike.

Shani Diluka – Pulse (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:19:44 minutes | 1,32 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Warner Classics
Here, Shani Diluka pays homage to the great American minimalist masters of the second half of the 20th century: Moondog, John Adams, Philipp Glass, Julias Eastman. Behind the Pulse title, we have identified a discreet nod to the eponymous work of Steve Reich, leader of the genre and yet curiously absent from the selection. But Pulse is also this notion of an uninterrupted beat, that of the heart, the heart of a country, grappling with its contradictory rhythms: from the frenzy of megacities to time suspended in wide-open spaces. Pianist Shani Diluka takes a tender and fascinating look at these soundscapes which showcase the splendours of a continent-nation (Danny Boy, Shenandoah) and the glaring traumas of its History (The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc) – Pierre Lamy

“Available on Limited Edition Signed CD, CD & LP. Reinvention is a much-used word in the music world. But after redefining his sound and style on 2016’s hugely acclaimed Echoes Of Our Times, Shakin’ Stevens wasn’t content just to press repeat for his next studio project. Now, he’s hit Re-Set. That’s the title, and indeed the attitude, of a new album that combines extraordinarily heartfelt and meaningful lyrics with the most impassioned vocal performances he has ever summoned from himself, well over 50 years since his first recordings. If that last album set the bar high, he really has Re-Set it once again, in every sense. But Re-Set is another story, and one that Stevens can’t wait to share with his hugely loyal fan base and new admirers alike. “It’s a follow-up,” as he puts it, “but it’s different. People were surprised by Echoes Of Our Times, and,” he smiles, “I guess the same is going to happen with Re-Set. “Nobody’s pointing the finger. It’s not judging, it’s observing,” he concludes. “I believe lyrics are very important, but if you haven’t got a tune to go with them, you’ve had it.” The man with the unfailing instinct for a great record is re-set and ready for the latest adventure of his unique career. “

In a 1934 essay, the writer and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston suggests that there is something common — what she calls a “will to adorn” — uniting a wide variety of African American cultural articulations, from styles of speech to clothing and home decoration. Understood thus, adornment may be both an expression of self and community and a creative response to trouble — especially when that trouble arises in the context of a shared history of pain and injustice.

Transcription is a process of readapting a piece for a different instrument from the original one for which it was intended. More than today, this was once a common practice, adopted for various reasons and purposes. This is where, the idea of re-creating new concertos for solo harpsichord and orchestra arose, using the original scores by Antonio Vivaldi and Alessandro Marcello and for the harpsichord part the transcriptions for Klavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. This reworking, made by Giulio De Nardo, is therefore intended to offer on the one hand an opportunity to expand the repertoire for keyboard instrument and orchestra and, on the other hand, an opportunity for today’s listener who, already familiar with the original versions, will be able to appreciate this World Premiere Recording with the colors and nuances of these new sonorities.

On “Persona,” Selah Sue’s third album, the Belgian star’s many sides come together.

Cole, “Persona” marks a new beginning for the multi-award winning musician.

Invisible Inc is over the moon to finally be announcing this long-awaited double album of new music by Secret Circuit.
Presented here are 21 new pieces recorded between 2020 and 2022 which capture that spacey, otherworldly quality Secret Circuit is known for but they also very much veer into the warmer, earthier and generally more ambient textural territories of his E Ruscha V and Only Thingz work…an altogether softer sensibility. The fact that the second disc of the double album is primarily ambient further confuses the issue! But Secret Circuit this most definitely is!

Scorpions – Virgin Killer (Remastered 2023) (1976/2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 35:15 minutes | 755 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © BMG Rights Management GmbH
Recorded just before the band began cranking out their earliest hits on classic albums like Lovedrive and Animal Magnetism, Virgin Killer is the first of four studio releases that really defined the Scorpions and their urgent metallic sound that was to become highly influential. While there are no tracks recognizable to the casual fan like “Blackout” and “Another Piece of Meat,” on Virgin Killer, serious fans of the group treasure this 1977 collection. Some all-time Scorpions standouts like “Pictured Life” and the title cut have all the necessary guitar chops and fierce falsetto melodies to get even the most jaded heavy metal old-timer teary eyed with nostalgia. Perhaps Virgin Killer isn’t as focused as the brilliant Lovedrive or as tuneful as either Animal Magnetism or Blackout, but the group’s trademark enthusiasm (the single element that separated and defined them, especially during the occasionally over-serious days of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal) and dexterity shines through on this near-historic heavy metal collection. – Vincent Jeffries

Scorpions – In Trance (Remastered 2023) (1975/2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 36:59 minutes | 803 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © BMG Rights Management GmbH
The Scorpions’ third release, In Trance, continues to display their high-energy music, which is impossible to ignore. With the eyebrow-lifting “Dark Lady” as the opening track, the album immediately captures the listener’s attention and keeps it all the way until the end. The interesting title track is clearly the best song of the album, but singles such as the fast-paced “Robot Man” and the hard-rocking “Top of the Bill” also stand out as highlights. Excellent singing and powerful music make this the best Scorpions recording working with Uli Jon Roth. – Barry Weber
