Music on CD

Creedence: Collected 1968-72 [Digipack / 3 CD]

Wray Link: Link Wray Rumble [CD]

'Sparks' were originally called 'Halfnelson' from 1968-1972, formed in Los Angeles by brothers Ron and Russell Mael. The album that went by the title 'Halfnelson' in 1970, was basically the first 'Sparks' album. They are noted for Russell Mael's distinctive wide-ranging voice and Ron Mael's intricate and rhythmic keyboard playing style. This album is produced by Todd Rundgren, and engineered by James Lowe, former singer of 60's Psychedelic band 'The Electric Prunes'. This is a striking, original piece of work with many highlights including the minimal single "Wonder Girl", the gorgeous AOR ballad "Slow Boat" and the Russell-penned song "Saccharin And The War."

Dolly Parton: Jolene [CD]

Recorded on February 1, in Osaka, Japan, at the Festival Hall. The band: Sonny Fortune, saxophones, Pete Cosey (who also played synth) and Reggie Lucas on guitars, Michael Henderson on bass, Al Foster on drums, James "Mtume" Foreman on percussion, and Miles Davis on trumpet and organ. Featuring only two resounding epic tracks which run for nearly two hours, "Zimbabwe" and "Gondwana" gives the listener it's unique and primitive kind of Afro<br/>futurism, a brand of jazz-funk that only Miles can deliver.

Hooverphonic is a Belgian band founded by Alex Callier, Raymond Geerts and Geike Arnaert in 1995. Though originally categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a lone genre, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and a mixture of others. In 2008, Geike Arnaert, the lead singer of the band, announced she would leave the group. Noémie Wolfs, became the successor to Geike Arnaert. In 2018, Hooverphonic introduced Luka Cruysberghs as their new singer. To say that since then the group has earned their place in the Belgian, and international music landscape is an understatement! Hooverphonic will represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.
