Stephen Stills- Transmission Impossible [3 CD, 2017] (FLAC + 320)

  

Having spent over 50 years forging a quite extraordinary musical career, Stephen Stills remains a stunning musician, a consummate performer and the first person to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice on the same night, as he was in 1997 as a member of both Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash.

This triple-disc collection contains a selection of live radio broadcast recordings of Stephen in concert, made at various junctures during the man s awesome solo career. First up, disc one features two such transmissions, recorded in the fall of 1976 in Portland, Oregon and New York City in the wake of his own Illegal Stills album, and his joint record with Neil Young Long May You Run, both released earlier in 76. Next up, on disc two, Stills appearance at the 1978 Bread & Roses Festival is featured in its entirety, played about a month after the release of his Thoroughfare Gap album. However, he only performs the title track from the recent release, along with his version of Buddy Holly s Not Fade Away , filling his set instead largely with oldies and covers. On the third CD, Stephen s more recent but still wonderful concert from Las Vegas in 1995 is included, a show renowned as being among the finest, most electric shows Stills ever performed.

Woodstock: Back to the Garden (50th Anniversary Experience) [10 CD, 2019 / FLAC / FLAC-HD / 320]

Woodstock: Back to the Garden (50th Anniversary Experience) rises above its predecessors. A considerable expansion of Rhino’s 2009 six-CD set Woodstock 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur’s Farm, 50th Anniversary Experience is also a distillation of the gargantuan Woodstock: Back to the Garden: The Definitive 50th Anniversary Archive, a box that re-creates the entire three-day festival over the course of 38 CDs (all that’s missing are two Jimi Hendrix tunes his estate chose not to license, along with some Sha Na Na that never was taped). While the 38-CD set is an immersive, transportive experience, it’s also by definition a box set that appeals only to archivist, scholars and fanatics-the kind of listeners who don’t think twice at digging through a weekend’s worth of music and stage announcements. This ten-disc set, however, is a great choice for listeners who want to get a feel for the entire sprawling festival without devoting more than a day of their life to listening to Woodstock.

 

Sonar discography 2012-2018

Swiss experimental rock quartet Sonar (whose name is a portmanteau of "sonic" and "architecture") comprise guitarists Stephan Thelen and Bernhard Wagner, bassist Christian Kuntner, and drummer Manuel Pasquinelli. The bandmembers bring an array of talents uniquely suited to creating Sonar's precise and rhythmically complex yet spacious and streamlined post-minimalist sound, harmonically idiosyncratic with the guitars and bass tuned in tritones (an interval given the Latin name diabolus in musica -- the devil in music -- during medieval times). The California-born Thelen is a strong admirer of the early- to mid-'70s (Starless and Bible Black) and early- to mid-'80s (Discipline) editions of King Crimson, and participated with the Venezuela-born Wagner in Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft seminars in the '90s. Thelen (Sonar's principal composer) also studied classical guitar, and he earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Zurich. As a solo artist, Wagner performs and records using innovative live looping processes; he is also a software engineer. Kuntner and Pasquinelli are participants in a wide variety of bands and projects, and both are former students at the University of Arts in Bern.

Savoy Brown '81-'89 [4CDs] The Complete Eighties Studio Albums

The British R ‘n‘ B boom of the early 1960’s led directly to the British Blues Explosion in 1968.

The London  R n B boom led by, for example, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things and to some extent the Beatles quickly moved into mainstream pop and left a vacuum in the London clubs.

This vacuum, in London, was filled in the mid 60’s by John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton and Savoy Brown’s Blues Band featuring Kim Simmonds.

Both these bands became headliners at major London clubs such as The Marquee establishing a “blues night” amongst the mainstream soul and popular music in the charts at that time.

As headlining pioneers of the new blues movement Savoy Brown gave a platform to emerging bands in other areas of the U.K.  Ten Years After and Jethro Tull both were opening acts to Savoy Brown on blues night at the Marquee.

Chicken Shack from Birmingham also came to London and along with the early Fleetwood Mac established themselves on the scene.

John Mayall, Savoy Brown, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Chicken Shack and Ten Years After became the “big six” blues bands at that time.

Hits soon followed for these bands (Savoy Brown cracking the USA in 1969) and the blues movement quickly gave way to the heavy rock of Black Sabbath, themselves a blues band when they started.

The British Blues Boom was a phenomena never to be repeated again and remains one of the foremost U.K. music movements of all.

Tom Petty - An American Treasure (4 CD Deluxe, 2018) [Hi-Res FLAC]

 

An American Treasure, the first posthumous Tom Petty project, is designed as an aural biography of the late rocker, telling a tale that begins with a Mudcrutch session from 1974, running through the glory of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in 1976, and concluding with a live version of “Hungry No More” from 2016, just over a year prior to his tragic 2017 passing. Arriving roughly a year after Petty’s death, the timing for An American Treasure makes sense — he certainly deserved a tribute — but in strict discographical terms, there didn’t seem a need for a second career-spanning box set, as he already had 1995’s rarity-laden box Playback and a multi-disc The Live Anthology from 2009. Happily, An American Treasure offers a story that’s not told on either previous set, and that’s a complete picture of Petty’s career, told entirely through byways, not highways. The compilers — a team consisting of his widow Dana, wife Adria, bandmates Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, plus longtime producer Ryan Ulyate — made a conscious decision not to replicate any material from Playback, which meant that there wasn’t room for the original hit versions of any of Petty’s hits. Ultimately, this meant that many of his best-known songs are nowhere to be found on An American Treasure, but that winds up as a feature, not a bug.
