Nice to have this classic spacey/ambient album generally available again. This was the first collaboration, recorded when Eno's star was at its zenith, between him and the great German electronic duo. I remember my first record store job, around 1978...

"Big Band jazz with a Mediterranean flavour guided by the famous tuba and serpent player Michel Godard. So, as it is in the delivery of the best jazz, so many languages are happily living in the same place. There is a Mediterranean background in these grooves; the restlessness of the blues, bop citations, echoes of a marching band, and disguised tangos. Full orchestral moments that with great wisdom drains into a duo or trio; improvised and free form jazz moments, alternating with ballad and dixieland...

Billy's excellent second solo album, recorded in 1974, while Billy was one of the gods of fusion just after the dissolution of the original Mahavishnu Orchestra Includes George Duke, the Brecker Brothers, Garnett Brown, John Abercrombie and others.
Jesus, Billy was just so amazing back then. Compositionally, this isn't up there with those three Mahavishnu albums, but it's still a good, fun, strong fusion treat.

This is from 1989. "The music here is honest and intense, a severe departure from the fluff being recorded for the GRP label. Rita Marcotulli is a remarkable pianist who not only contributes dazzling solos, but also adds tonal colors throughout. Peter ...

Well, on "Off Color", Billy presented 3 Norwegian jazz musicians who are quite unknown and played with them. Here he presents a sextet of Danes performing jazz and he doesn't perform with them! He just 'presents' them. Is Billy such a big name he can...

It's a DVD! It comes in a CD jewel case and we thought it was a CD, but upon further investigation we were able to determine that it is indeed a DVD. We came to this conclusion after we put in into our DVD player and it actually played. Who knew?

“Its always a pleasure to hear a bunch of young...

Really nice, modern jazz piano-trio stuff. There's nothing here that hasn't been done before, but the musicianship is really high and the compositions are very attractive and this blew me away in a way I didn't expect at all...

“The Future is the ninth studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released in 1992. Almost an hour in length, it was Cohen's longest album up to that date. Both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 1992 Los Angeles riots took place while Cohen was writing and recording the album, which expressed his sense of the world's turbulence.”

"This is the release of the complete soundtrack of cult French animated TV series Les Shadoks (1968-1974) by Robert Cohen-Solal, available for the first time ever in its entirety.
