VA - The Many Faces Of King Crimson [3 CD, 2016/FLAC]

 Alongside Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer and Genesis, King Crimson has been one of the most emblematic British progressive rock bands of all time. Always creatively led by Robert Fripp, the group has gone through numerous member changes and sound mutations. After several years of hard work, Music Brokers is proud to present The Many Faces Of King Crimson, an album where we will find hard to find works and lesser known projects from most of the members that at some point were part of the band. 

The Many Faces Of King Crimson is a monumental project, a triple album where we can listen to the solo work of drummer Andy McCulloch, lyricist Pete Sinfield, bassist Boz Burrell, drummer Ian Wallace, singer and bassist Gordon Haskell, the exotic percussionist Jamie Muir, drummers Michael Giles and Pat Mastelotto, stick player Trey Gunn, drummer Bill Rieflin (current member of Crimson), bassist John Wetton, the sax player Mel Collins, pianist Keith Tippett, bassist Tony Levin, drummer Jerry Marotta, singer and bassist Greg Lake, multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald, guitarist Adrian Belew and obviously their supreme leader: Robert Fripp. With exquisite cover art and remastered sound, The Many Faces Of King Crimson is an exquisite album, a fundamental collection not only for fans of King Crimson, but for all the lovers of progressive rock and great music in general.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Classic Album Set (8 CD, 2016/FLAC)

 

Bachman–Turner Overdrive is a Canadian rock group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, that had a series of hit albums and singles in the 1970s, selling over 7 million albums in that decade alone. Their 1970s catalogue included five Top 40 albums and six US Top 40 singles (ten in Canada). The band has sold nearly 30 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads" (derived from the band's gear-shaped logo). Many of their songs, including "Let It Ride", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", "Takin' Care of Business", "Hey You" and "Roll On Down the Highway", still receive play on classic-rock stations.

After the band went into a hiatus in 2005, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner reunited in 2009 to tour and collaborate on a new album. In 2010, they played the halftime show at the Grey Cup in Edmonton, AB and continue to tour as of summer 2014.

On March 29, 2014, the classic Not Fragile line-up reunited for the first time since 1991 to mark Bachman–Turner Overdrive's induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and participated in performing in a tribute version of "Takin' Care of Business".
