Wang Yuja: Rachmaninoff/Piano concertos [Digipack / 2 CD]

Metallica är ett av världens största hårdrocksband - detta är satt utom allt tvivel! Inget band har som Metallica fört fram den tyngre metallen; de har haft megahits som "Nothing Else Matters", "Master Of Puppets" och såklart "Enter Sandman".<br/><br/>Äntligen är det så dags för kvartetten att släppa sitt tolfte studioalbum som fått titeln "72 Seasons". Första singeln "Lux Æterna" var ett rejält styrkebesked - det här var Metallica i sitt esse, låten är snabb, tung och sitter som ett knytnävsslag mitt i magen. <br/> <br/>Om albumtiteln säger James Hetfield: <br/>"72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told 'who we are' by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry."

Smashing Pumpkins: Atum 2023 [Digipack / 3 CD]

Det andra albumet från singer/songwritern Olivia Rodrigo. Hennes debut "Sour" sålde 4 x platina i USA och plockade hem tre amerikanska Grammys. Den blott 20-åriga Rodrigo har hyllats för sina texter och den ärlighet med vilken hon skriver.

Remixed by Steven Wilson, this reissue comes with brand new artwork that was commissioned and art-directed by Gala and Jamie Wright, Richard's children and managers of his estate. As per the original release, the bi-fold sleeve folds out to extend the image and features the same vibrant colour palette. This time, the unidentified person in bright red shorts is swimming within deep blue waters of the sea rather than a pool and the image expands out to reveal a boat slightly out of their reach, referencing the nautical theme of the record. The image was taken by Costas Spathis, a photographer living and working in Greece, which is where the album was written and the graphic design is by Carl Glover. The original artwork was designed by Storm Thorgerson and photographed by Audrey Powell for Hipgnosis and features in the vinyl booklet.<br/><br/>Upon rediscovering this record, it becomes hugely apparent how much of Richard's DNA runs through Pink Floyd. His distinct rhythm patterns, song structure and style of play exudes throughout, shining a light on his unique talent and influence on modern music.<br/>When originally released, post Pink Floyd's 'Animals' (1977) and shortly before 'The Wall' (1979), 'Wet Dream' was largely under-appreciated. Steven Wilson's mix gives new life to the record demonstrating Wright's brilliance. He wrote and produced the whole album himself and it was one of only three albums released outside of Pink Floyd- 'Broken China', his second solo album from 1996 and 'Identity', released in 1983 under the guise of Zee, a duet with Dave Harris from Fashion.
