2:14:45 | Copla, Flamenco, Latin | Label: Legacy Recordings

En España, la cantante Isabel Pantoja es considerada una de las mayores practicantes vocales de la copla tradicional de la historia. Aunque su versión andaluza del estilo folclórico está muy orquestada, su atención detallada a la narrativa, la melodía, el drama y el ritmo es singular. Desde mediados de los 80, ha ampliado su repertorio para incluir baladas pop románticas sin dañar su estatura. La querida reputación musical de Pantoja se ha visto impulsada por una vida llena de premios (más de 40 discos con certificación de platino), tragedias y desventuras (incluido un período de dos años en prisión por ser cómplice de lavado de dinero), así como una evacuación médica de emergencia de una isla remota durante su período de competencia en la edición española de la serie de televisión Survivor.

I believe Rave On was Artful Dodger's best LP. I have all their albums and Rave On is a listen from beginning to end every time. I was lucky enough to receive the CD release from the Cleveland Agora back in the day. When I say lucky I mean really lucky! The first copy was blank, nothing was recorded on it and after I contacted the Cleveland Agora and they sent me a replacement. I've had the pleasure of listening to it ever sense. I also have the LP for when I want to hear this great album on vinyl. Forty three years and it never gets old.

39:21 | New Wave, Post-Punk, Mod | Label: Bristol Archive Records

This album covers the period 1979 to 1987 and features 14 tracks. When punk rock started to fizzle out and Squat Punks started to appear on the streets, many of the UK's disaffected youths had already moved sideways into Modernism and fell in love with bands like The Jam, Secret Affair, The Purple Hearts, The Lambrettas and The Chords but lets also remember our love for The Beat, Madness and The Specials. Mod was another gang culture, to some a way of life, to some it became life. The smart, striking fashion sense, the scooters, the music; (some from the 60's, soul and Motown), some from the 70's and 80's, guitar driven power pop. Wow! Mod was the real deal.

Four CD set. Kim Wilde has blazed a trail ever since she made her debut with the indelible 'Kids in America' back in 1981. Kim's early hits on Mickie Most's RAK Records blend angsty new wave energy with the innate pop sensibility she shares with her chief collaborators, brother Ricky and father Marty.

Six of these mixes have been newly commissioned especially for this package. Bonus material including B-sides and album out-takes from the album sessions rounds out a complete survey of Kim's RAK years. Presented in a stunning lift-off lid box with special print finish, each album in this package is housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring the original vinyl artwork.

ENDE VOM LIED is a genre-spanning collection of punk, post-punk and avant-garde bands from the former East Germany, chronicling the work of free spirits pitted against government restraints and implied genre limitations. The underground scene in the GDR was a hydra, a noisy mix of musicians, poets, pain¬ters, photographers, filmmakers, punks and freaks. In the immediate aftermath of the primal scream that was punk, music often bred with poetry or painting in short-lived liaisons or enduring collaborations to produce a new generation of genre bastards. With the lines blurring between forms, a search for new shapes began. In the German Democratic Republic, this search constituted a tightrope walk, a dance for expression between subculture and a dictatorship.

3:09:22 | Electronic, Minimal, Ambient | Label: Projekt

Projekt celebrates the 40th anniversary of this ambient classic with a beautiful remastered limited edition LP, 1CD, & 3CD. Structures from Silence‘s breathing, suspended embrace of atmospheres and serene melodies instantly struck a chord with listeners in 1984; the album continues to reiterate its timeless resonations with new listeners today. On this landmark recording of gentle proportions, the three long-form tracks were the birth of something new: an original and pure statement striking a balance between diaphanous and understated, deep and reflective. The listening experience evokes a sense of silence within the music as well as the space between the chords. It expresses the breath of life and offers a meditation on delicate strands of subtle awareness.

Greatest Hits is an excellent, thorough 16-track collection containing all of Journey's big hits, from 1978's "Wheel in the Sky" to 1986's "I'll Be Alright Without You." Although the songs aren't presented in chronological order and a handful of minor hits ("Suzanne," "Walks Like a Lady") aren't included, it doesn't matter, since every essential Journey single – "Only the Young," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Any Way You Want It," "Separate Ways," "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," "Open Arms," "Send Her My Love" – is here, which means that it's all most casual fans will ever need.
