Till Brönner - Till Brönner (2012) 2CD Deluxe Edition
EAC | APE | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 512 Mb (incl 5%) | Mp3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 229 Mb (incl 5%) | Scans included
Genre: Jazz Fusion, Contemporary Jazz, Smooth Jazz | Label: Verve | # 06025 3719116 | Time: 01:28:37

On his first instrumental album in over a decade, German jazz trumpeter/flügelhornist and pop star Till Brönner offers his own tribute to one of his earliest inspirations: the sound of Creed Taylor's CTI label. Co-produced by the artist with keyboardist Roberto Di Gioia and Samon Kawamura, these 12 tunes employ a crack studio band as well as strings, and evoke memories of the label's arrangers Don Sebesky, David Matthews, and Bob James, but with distinctly modern charts. The mood is relaxed, open, and fluid, and creativity runs high. The production is warm yet crystalline; though attention is paid to detail, nothing feels constrained by nostalgia. These 12 cuts wed hip, soulful jazz-funk grooves to modern jazz, sometimes infused with a subtly cinematic panache.

John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers - In The Palace Of The King (2007)
EAC | APE | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 478 Mb (incl 5%) | Mp3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 230 Mb (incl 5%) | HQ Scans included
Genre: British Blues, Blues Rock | Label: Eagle | # EAGCD345, GAS 0000345 EAG | Time: 00:59:38

This album is John's tribute to one of his blues heroes, the late, great Freddie King. King was a blues guitar pioneer from the mid-50's through to his tragically early death in the mid-70's and he influenced everyone from Peter Green to Dave Edmunds to Stevie Ray Vaughan and probably most of all Eric Clapton, who produced and played on King's final album. In The Palace Of The King features John Mayall's take on his personal selection of Freddie King favorites and is a fabulous combination of two true blues legends.

Morrissey - Vauxhall and I (1994)
EAC | APE | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 258 Mb (incl 5%) | Mp3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 112 Mb (incl 5%) | Scans included
Genre: Alternative Rock, Indie Rock | Label: Parlophone/EMI | # CDPCSD 148/7243 8 27797 2 8 | Time: 00:39:52

While it isn't a gutsy rock & roll record like Your Arsenal, Vauxhall and I is equally impressive. Filled with carefully constructed guitar pop gems, the album contains some of Morrissey's best material since the Smiths. Out of all of his solo albums, Vauxhall and I sounds the most like his former band, yet the textured, ringing guitar on this record is an extension of his past, not a replication of it. In fact, with songs like "Now My Heart Is Full" and "Hold on to Your Friends," Morrissey sounds more comfortable and peaceful than he ever has. And "The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get," "Speedway," and "Spring-Heeled Jim" prove that he hasn't lost his vicious wit.

The album was written entirely by Martin Gore and recorded after the departure of Vince Clarke, who had left the band to form Yazoo with singer Alison Moyet. Alan Wilder was part of a second tour in the United Kingdom occurring prior to the release of this album, but he had not officially joined the band, and thus, does not appear on the album.

John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers - Stories (2002)
EAC | FLAC | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 470 Mb (incl 5%) | Mp3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 161 Mb (incl 5%) | Scans ~ 104 Mb
Genre: British Blues, Blues Rock | Label: Eagle Records/Red Inc. | # WK59669 | Time: 01:07:01

John Mayall, 69 years of age at the time of this recording, is at the very least irrepressible. He and his many versions of the Bluesbreakers have hit the road every year for decades, and the five years leading up to the release of Stories offer a flurry of activity that hasn't been seen from him since the 1970s. The Bluesbreakers lineup here has been with him since Spinning Coin, and includes Joe Yuele on drums, guitarist Buddy Whittington, Hank Van Sickle on bass, and Tom Canning on keyboards. Like the young hip-hop kids who self reference ubiquitously, Mayall writes more songs about blues music or playing the blues than virtually any musician in history, and Stories seems to be a series of narrative songs that are, for the most part, about various blues giants of the past, such as a reminiscence about seeing Little Walter in "Southside Story" or a paean to Leadbelly in "Oh, Leadbelly," various blues myths such as "I Thought I Heard the Devil" and "The Witching Hour," or exhortations for young people to take up the blues mantle ("Kids Got the Blues").

EAC | FLAC | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 295 Mb (incl 5%) | Mp3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 137 Mb (incl 5%) | Scans included
Genre: Synthpop, New Wave, Dance Rock | Label: RCA | # PD 70109 | Time: 00:45:37

Touch is the third studio album by the British new wave duo Eurythmics, released on 26 November 1983. The album was the duo's first UK number-one album, and also reached the top 10 in the US. It has since been certified Platinum in the US and Silver in the UK. It was rated #500 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2012, the album jumped to #492 on a revised list.

VA - Rattlesnake Guitar: The Music of Peter Green (1997) 2CD
EAC | FLAC | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 970 Mb (incl 5%) | Mp3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 404 Mb (incl 5%) | Scans included
Genre: Blues Rock, Blues | Label: Viceroy Entertainment Group | # 54190-2 | Time: 02:16:48

A massive, 2-disc compilation featuring cover versions of virtually every Peter Green song written during his Fleetwood Mac period, and a few drawn from his mid-80s solo period. While there are some weaker moments in this 39-track collection, the majority of the interpretations feature blues guitar, piano and vocal at their very best. Rather than simply pay tribute to Peter Green by faithfully imitating his material, the artists have chosen to re-interpret these songs and in most cases the results are superb. The power of Green's influence is felt all the more deeply when so many artists use his music as a jumping-off point. A must have item for blues guitar fans.

Moby - Ambient (1993)
EAC | FLAC | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 277 Mb (incl 5%) | Mp3 (CBR320/Stereo) ~ 143 Mb (incl 5%) | Scans included
Genre: Electronic, Ambient, Ambient Techno | Label: Equator Records ‎ | # ATLASCD 002 | Time: 00:51:58

Like so much of Moby's earliest work, this isn't so much an album as a compilation via his original label, Instinct. Ambient influences in techno were all the rage in 1993 in terms of press and coverage (though jungle would swiftly eclipse both it and the progressive house genre), so it's no surprise Instinct wanted some of that action, right down to the says-it-all title. Motivations aside, Ambient is an enjoyable collection of experiments; if Aphex Twin's monumental Selected Ambient Works releases eclipse it in terms of both quality and sheer inventiveness, Moby's own efforts in the field are often quite pleasing.
