Los Angeles native Candye Kane sings a sassy and showbiz-savvy blend of blues and soul that takes no prisoners of any persuasion. Kane has been a lot of things in her life, from a mother and serious student to a pinup girl and actress (both on-stage and in risqué movies), and she even did a stint as a serious, full-tilt punk rocker. She’d be just another fringe player in L.A. except for two things she can sing like nobody’s business and she has a sexy, intelligent, and passionate musical vision to match her voice.

The debut album "From Ashes To Fire" was mixed by Fredrik Nordström & Henrik Udd at Studio Fredman [At The Gates, In Flames, Hammerfall] and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios [Symphony X, Opeth, Kreator]. Needles to say, the production on “From Ashes To Fire” is excellent. The artwork for the album was created by Anders Fästader at A Trailermade Production [H.E.A.T., Hardcore Superstar, The Poodles]. As for the music itself; is comes from Inner Wound Records SWEDEN with 13 catchy tracks containing a nice progressive twist!

The absence of a drummer deprives "The Following Morning" of some of the drive and rhythmic shadings of other Weber releases. In some ways this is a more contemplative work, lingering longer upon the tones of the individual instruments. The title track opens with backwards piano and slides into a pensive rumination between the piano and Weber's bass. There is only the tentative presence of orchestral instruments, and the album is quite subtle and slow to unfold. You might not pick up this album as often as some other Weber releases, but it can reward close listening.

Momentum is Jamie Cullum's sixth studio album, his first through Island Records. Jamie approached this record in a completely different way to his previous LPs, for the first time using DIY home demos as a blueprint for the majority of its tracks… and for a while, using everything from iPhone apps, charity shop keyboards and cassette recorders as his "go-to" instruments during the process.

The band from Hanover wanted to create a technically interesting album with catchy tunes, an album with memorable and solid songs. Not an easy task but the results were more than positive.

The 24 "books" of the ILIAD were assigned to 12 pianists. Each artist participating to the project had chosen two "books" and composed music inspired by them. The result is, a wonderful concept album, full of brilliant ideas, inspiration and piano virtuosity...

Another obscure sub-underground krautrock band, discovered in the same pile of aging vinyl albums by the folks at the Psi-Fi label. Tracks like the wonderfully progressive nine-minute "The Summit" (fantastic min-moog), the eerie "Mountainside" and "Dark Path" more than make this import CD a must-have. Then there's the trippingly brilliant "Nieman Verstent" and the eleven-minute epic "Daruber". Line-up: Pauline Fund - vocals, Peter Forster - 12 string & electric guitar, Alex Meyer - mini-moog, Hammond organ & vocals and Hans Jurgen Putz - percussion & effects.

The man behind pop/punk superstar group Osaka Popstar, singer John Cafiero, started the band as a way to unite his love of music and cartoons, not to mention the fact that it gave him the opportunity to play with some luminaries of original punk rock's superheroes. With Marky Ramone (The Ramones) on drums, Jerry Only (The Misfits) on bass, Dez Cadena (Black Flag) and Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & The Voidoids) on guitars, Osaka Popstar released their debut album, fittingly titled Osaka Popstar and the American Legends of Punk.

The Ramones was, undoubtedly, one of the most influential bands in Rock history. Taking the most basic and primitive elements from the rock of the 50's and pop of the 60's with a remarkable quote of street attitude, the Ramones have created, almost by chance, the fundamental stone of the sound which later resulted in punk and its consequent sounds.

For their second CD for Tzadik, this fabulous trio takes a step toward tradition with a heavy CD of music for the classic format of guitar, bass and drums. Recorded at Bill Laswell s Orange Studio by James Dellatacoma, the sound is as intense and powerful as the music. Les Rhinocéros II is a strong second release by this tight and razor sharp new band of musical renegades.

Pearl is an album by Janis Joplin, released on February 1, 1971, just four months after her death from a heroin overdose. It is her fourth album and the only album she recorded with the Full Tilt Boogie Band. The album has a more polished feel than the albums she recorded with Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band due to the expertise of producer Paul A. Rothchild and her new backing musicians. Rothchild was best known as the producer of The Doors, and worked well with Joplin. Together they were able to craft an album that showcased her extraordinary vocal talents. The Full Tilt Boogie Band were the musicians who accompanied her on the famous Festival Express in the summer of 1970, and many of the songs on this album were introduced on the concert stage in Canada. In 2003, the album was ranked number 122 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Soundtrack to the 2013 Baz Luhrmann film The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo di Caprio. The soundtrack was formulated by Luhrmann andrapper Jay-Z and attempts to translate the "Jazz Age" of Fitzgerald's original book into a contemporary setting: the Hip-hop Age. Jay-Z’s own "No Church in the Wild" and "100$ Bill" feature along with new songs by Florence + the Machine, Lana Del Rey, Nero, will.i.am and the xx were written for scenes in the film. The highly eclectic soundtrack also features songs performed by such artists as Beyoncé and André 3000; Fergie, Q Tip and GoonRock; Coco O. of Quadron, Gotye; Nero; and Sia. There's a also a few favorites with a new twist, such as Jack White’s interpretation of U2’s "Love Is Blindness", Beyoncé and André 3000 collaborating on Amy Winehouse’s "Back to Black" and Bryan Ferry’s new take on a couple of classics: his own "Love Is The Drug" and, with Emeli Sandé, Beyoncé’s "Crazy in Love".
