Am 26. April 2024 erscheint das neue BAP-Album. »ZEITREISE / LIVE IM SARTORY« wurde an vier magischen Abenden in den legendären Kölner Sartory-Sälen mitgeschnitten und ist viel mehr als ein weiteres Live-Album. Wir hören: den Nukleus eines der zentralen Werke der deutschen Rockmusik, dringlich, relevant, elektrisierend. Niedeckens BAP hat diese Lieder revitalisiert. Für das Hier und Jetzt, die nächste Generation.

Still Got the Blues is the eighth solo studio album by Northern Irish guitarist Gary Moore, released in 1990. It marked a substantial change in style for Moore, who, prior to this album, was predominantly known for rock and hard rock music with Skid Row, Thin Lizzy, G-Force, Greg Lake and during his own extensive solo career, as well as his jazz-fusion work with Colosseum II. As evidenced by its title, Still Got the Blues saw him delve into an electric blues style. The album features guest contributions from Albert King, Albert Collins and George Harrison. The title track was released as a single and reached No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album reached No. 83 on the Billboard 200 on 16 February 1991, then was certified gold on November 1995. This was the most successful album both in sales and chart positions from Gary Moore in the US.

Matthias Reim ist zweifellos ein großfühlender Mensch. Ein beneidenswert produktiver Zeitgenosse ist er sowieso. Vor bald 35 Jahren hinterließ der Vollblutmusiker und Songwriter einen Aphorismus von bleibendem Wert: „Verdammt, ich lieb' dich“. Liedzeilen, die aus einer Laune heraus entstanden, formte der damals 32 Jahre junge Mann zu einem Mammut-Refrain, der zu einem Millionenseller gelangte. Er hat rund zwei Dutzend Studioeinspielungen veröffentlicht, etliche davon brachen in Gold- und Platin gegossen Verkaufsrekorde. Auf dem neuen Longplayer „Zeppelin“ präsentiert Reim seine 16 neuen Songs so frühlingsfrisch und auf den Punkt gebracht wie ein tatendrängender Newcomer. Einer, der sich gleichzeitig eines enormen Musikmacher- und Lebenserfahrungsschatzes ermächtigen kann. Anders lässt sich die gesteigerte Wahrhaftigkeit in „Zeppelin“ nicht erklären. Reims Rock klingt heute handgemacht-rockiger als je zuvor, die Refrains sind größer geworden und die Balladen balladesker. „Zeppelin“ ist kurzum der beste Reim aller Zeiten.

1963 BBC sessions not on the official "Live At The BBC" albums, feature fantastic R&B covers and some of their best early originals.

Hits Of The Beach Boys is the compilation album released in 2002 by EMI Records. The collection featuring 10 big hits 1963-1966 by the US legends The Beach Boys.

It was back in 2019 when Alice Cooper went back to his musical roots. The iconic singer recorded six songs that are all in a way connected to his hometown Detroit. The album includes cover versions from the 60s and 70s and it is ‘East Side Story’, originally from Bob Seeger, ‘Sister Anne’ (MC5) and other classics. And there is with ‘Detroit City 2020’ a flashback to the ‘The Eyes of Alice Cooper’ release.‘Breadcrumbs’ was released as a limited 10” vinyl version and now it is earMUSIC, releasing the album in a CD format. All six songs from the original release are also part of the CD version and fans get tow extras too. With ‘Don’t Give Up’, Alice Cooper added a bonus track to this release and ‘Go Man Go’ has been added as a live version also, recorded at the 2022 Hellfest. Release date for the D format is April 26th, 2024 and the album will come via earMUSIC.

A musical journey through Renaissance Europe via pieces that were highly popular and whose melodies were reused and varied by some of the best composers of the time.

In 2015, pianist Jonathan Biss initiated the Beethoven/5 commissioning project with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and more than fifteen other orchestras, resulting in a groundbreaking collaboration over nine years. The project yielded five extraordinary new piano works by some of today’s most significant composers, responding to Beethoven’s own concerti. The first volume, recorded with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, features Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto and Brett Dean’s companion piece, “Gneixendorfer Musik, A Winter’s Journey”.

The album is taken from the Trident Studios 1/4” stereo tapes dated 15th December 1971, which were created for the then-provisional track listing of what would become THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS album. The tracklisting for Waiting In The Sky (Before The Starman Came To Earth) runs differently from the Ziggy Stardust album and features four songs that didn’t make the final album.

Some albums are so obvious it’s a wonder they didn’t exist before, and so it is with Chris Isaak's Beyond the Sun, a salute to the classic rock & roll label Sun Records. Ever since his first album, Isaak has exhibited an enormous debt to the titans who recorded at Sun, particularly Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley, whose work is showcased heavily here. Isaak doesn’t stick strictly to songs released on Sun – he covers “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” which Presley did not release during his time on Sun – but he doesn’t stick to the obvious, either, finding excellent songs from the likes of Warren Smith. Still, Elvis rules the roost, not only in terms of songs covered, but in approach.

Available for a limited time only until 23:59 Thursday April 25th. Includes bonus tracks 'Forever True', 'Homeless Dub' and 'Foolish Dub'.UB40, the world's biggest selling reggae group, will release their 21st studio album UB45 on 19 April 2024 via SRG Records (Universal). The 17-track album features brand new songs including forthcoming singles 'Gimme Some Kinda Sign' and 'Home', plus re-recordings of some of the band's most beloved hits. UB40 are the world's biggest-selling reggae group with over 100 million album sales, 50 UK Top 40 singles and 10 UK Top 10 albums. The band has stood the test of time over the course of 45 years, touring the world together and recording music shot through with an unbreakable bond of brotherhood, fostered by their long-standing friendships and shared Birmingham roots. The line-up proudly boasts all but one of the surviving founding members, now bolstered by the reinvigorating and reenergising presence of vocalist Matt Doyle. UB45 sees the band do what they do best, with songs that fearlessly address societal hot button issues and take a firm stand against the injustices of the world. This is apparent from the off on opening track and forthcoming lead single 'Home', complete with trademark UB40 beats and the powerful, timeless themes of equality and community.

A new and strikingly effective arrangement of a modern minimalist classic.

ACCEPT, long-standing legendary German titans of heavy metal, are back with a fiercely awaited new studio album, entitled Humanoid, to be released on the 26th of April, 2024. Humanoid is a towering musical achievement and another world class entry in the ACCEPT catalog, certain to rally fans from around the world. ACCEPT have never shied away from hot button issues, and this album is no exception. The band’s 17th studio album is certainly not a concept album, yet it deals with topics like AI and how our reliance upon technology is gradually stripping away individuality. Since singer Mark Tornillo will never be an advocate for the digital age, he counterbalances the title track with raw emotions, frailties, significant Rites of Passage we encounter on the path of life and characteristics that make us uniquely human: feeling uncomfortable, getting older, dealing with hurt, disappointment, and the final stop for everyone: death. Humanoid is a ferociously electrifying, dynamic and subtly nuanced platter with tongue in cheek humor.

Waiting for the Sun is the third studio album by the American rock band the Doors, recorded from February to May 1968 and released in July 1968.

It also became the band's first hit album in the UK, where it peaked at No. 16 on the chart.
