We took a long time to retrieve data from corrupted HDD. If people are looking forward to the next news, they might be able to listen to some old songs as well. There was an era of Social Network Service while we were not releasing it. It didn’t bring us much benefit in Japan, but I’m surprised that the information reached people all over the world. We present this work as a token of our gratitude to those who have waited for us.

Some of the tracks included in “Dream Within a Dream” are already known, but they have been mastered differently from “Myrtle” and are different versions of the tracks that do not include interludes.

Once the piano man behind Claude Nougaro, Toots Thielemans, Philip Catherine and Richard Galliano, Ivan Paduart is one of the most active jazzmen of his generation in Western Europe and has more than 28 albums to his name. In 2018, he hooked up with guitarist Patrick Deltenre (Maurane, Axelle Red, Viktor Laszlo) for a finely tuned duo. After a first album as a duet (“Hand in Hand”, 2018) and more than 70 concerts across Europe, Ivan Paduart and Patrick Deltenre are back with “Ear we Are”, twelve original compositions that breathe lyricism, complicity and inventiveness.

Over the years since Paul Brown became one of contemporary urban jazz’s premiere hit makers as a producer and artist, it’s become harder to keep track of how many Billboard #1 smashes he has amassed since breaking through producing Boney James in the early 90s. Is it 60? 70? 75?

Admired for her remarkable creative imagination and exemplary musicianship, soprano Patricia Petibon, in her newest album for Deutsche Grammophon, offers a treasure-trove of fascinating Baroque curiosities guaranteed to enthral both the Baroque aficionado and the casual listener.

Nouveau Monde is conceived as a journey from the Old to the New World, a spell-binding collection of arias, songs and pieces from European composers (Charpentier, Händel, Rameau, Purcell) that testify to their composers’ fascination with the exoticism of recently-discovered lands, as well as South American folksongs which boast exceptional rhythmic energy and colour

Spectacularly accompanied by the La Cetra Baroque Orchestra under the excelling direction of Andrea Marcon – who also stands out as a Baroque organist and harpsichordist – Patricia enchants our senses with a mélange of 17th-century arias and folk songs from England, France, Spain, and Latin America

As a follow-up to her best-selling Rosso and Melancolía albums, Patricia Petibon’s 2012 release is guaranteed to be one of the most popular and sought-after Baroque releases of the year

Epica – The Score – An Epic Journey (Special Edition) (2005) MCH SACD ISO

SACD Rip | SACD ISO | DSD64 2.0 > 1-bit/2.8224 MHz | 1:02:48 minutes | Full Scans included | 3,49 GB
Genre: Symphonic Metal, Soundtrack | Publisher (label): Transmission Records – TMSAD-058

How anybody can listen to Epica and dismiss them as a second rate nightwish is beyond me. This album shows how far beyond Nightwish, and similar bands, they really are.

The Score – An Epic Journey is an almost fully-orchestral film soundtrack for a Dutch film called Joyride. Composed almost entirely by Mark Jansen and Yves Huts, this is a chance for them to not only show off the skills they possess regarding orchestration and composing, but to evolve on their past work, to increase their understanding.

Although, this is certianly no practice album. It is hard not to be dazed by some of the songs on Score. On some songs, such as The Valley, I just sat there with my mouth open, listening to different sounds meandering into the foreground, and marvelling at the power and epic qualities that this soundtrack possesses. Some of the slow tracks were a little tiresome, but it is a soundtrack, so they have to be there. I can forgive that. The rest of them, however, were a joy to listen to. I’m not normally big on this kind of music, but it held my attention superbly.

I have to concede that some of the tracks on this soundtrack are not as original as one would expect, with tracks that are surprising reminiscent of Pirates of the Carribean, Harry Potter or even Star Wars, but they are certainly not the same, and are still incredibly enjoyable to listen to. Besides, who am I to judge where Jansen and Huts draw inspiration from?

There were hints toward what to expect on Score on Epica’s previous album, Consign To Oblivion, noteably the rather over-the-top prologue. And flashbacks to Consign To Oblivion can be heard in Score, with Trois Vierges making a comeback, this time in the form of a solo version, and reprise version. The single version of Solitary ground also makes an appearance. But, keeping the attention of metal fans is a special Score version of Quietus, which kicks off with electric guitar, before the original version did, but is more orchestral than the original, and in my opinion, more of a joy to listen to, and more refined.

The Score – An Epic Journey is a must have for Epica fans. Not an ideal first album, simply because it is an unusual piece, but for any established fans it is an essential part of your collection. Epic to hear, and memorable, surpasses antying they have done before in sheer skill and prowess.

A second-rate Nightwish Epica are not, and I expect that we will hear a much more mature, refined and orchestral sound in the upandcoming album The Divine Conspiracy.
