The Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South (3 CD + BR Super Deluxe, 2015) [FLAC + Hi-Res]

Idlewild South is the second studio album by American southern rock band the Allman Brothers Band. Produced by Tom Dowd, the album was released on September 23, 1970 in the United States by Atco Records and Capricorn Records. Following the release of their 1969 debut, the Allman Brothers Band toured the United States extensively to promote the album, which had little commercial success. Their performances, however, did create positive word of mouth exposure that extended to more famous musicians, such as Eric Clapton, who invited group leader Duane Allman to contribute to his 1970 album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. 

 

 

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.
