Dzintra Erliha – Serena (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:04:36 minutes | 1,04 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Prima Classic
“While working on this album, I wanted to go deeper into the thoughts, dreams, experiences and feelings of modern female composers. Most of the works included on the album are dedicated to me. These works reveal the creative interaction between myself and the composers. These interactions developed both at the time of composition as well as in the preparation for the recording: a mutual desire to listen to one another’s desires, feelings and thoughts. It was a wonderfully creative time.
Each one of these works is unique. Bright, dreamy colours mix with a meditative, almost surreal worldview – or even the opposite – with dramatic and expressive emotions. These works reveal the inner essence of a woman – it is soft and brittle, but at times it is also very powerful. And very beautiful…
Enjoy!” – Dzintra Erliha

Durand Jones – Wait Til I Get Over (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 41:12 minutes | 840 MB | Genre: R&B, Soul
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Dead Oceans
No one has been able to avoid Durand Jones & the Indications in recent years. This is due to their version of soul and R&B, which is both modern and clearly in the tradition of their idols. A retro sound for the future of the genre. After three albums, the solo debut of band leader Durand Jones, »Wait Til I Get Over«, will be released on May 5, 2023.
The difference to the collaboration with The Indications? The songs live even more from the sound of his homeland, the rural south of the USA. Blues, gospel, folk and rock, for example, flow into the harmonies of the first single »Lord Have Mercy«, which is broken up by a heavy electric guitar at the end. A groove »that feels like driving through a muddy swamp«, as Durand Jones told in advance.

Duke is in his element here, displaying his authority, versatility, passion and virtuosity.

Dropkick Murphys – Okemah Rising (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 28:56 minutes | 357 MB | Genre: Alternative Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Dummy Luck Music
Okemah Rising is the final installment of the Woody Guthrie/Dropkick Murphys collaboration, so we wanted to bring it home with a bang. Whereas the goal of This Machine Still Kills Fascists was to raise consciousness, Okemah Rising intends to raise the roof. Sure, it has one or two tender moments, but all in all it’s much more of a party than TMSKF. Even a party record can have a message though – we’ve felt that on the road over the last few months as we’ve played Okemah Rising songs “Gotta Get to Peekskill” and “I Know How It Feels” on tour all over the world. Every night, when the audience is singing along with Woody’s words, his steadfast defense of the working class, and his fight against social injustice and the abuse of political power comes across loud and clear. So as long as Dropkick Murphys are involved, Woody’s message will always be heard.

Marek Janowski presents his first purely-orchestral Schubert recording, together with the Dresdner Philharmonie, performing the composer’s two final, groundbreaking and most famous symphonies.
While the two movements of the “Unfinished” symphony in B Minor reach a level of perfection despite the work’s apparent incompleteness, Robert Schumann praised the “Great” symphony in C Major for its “heavenly length”. Janowski’s interpretation combines a sense of tradition with vitality and intensity.
This is a San Francisco Classical Recording Company production from Pentatone.
