High Noon (Radio Mix & Cut) 3:23 As was the advent of New Age music emerging from the late 70's into the 80's so was the emergence of new technology. Quiet Force almost exclusively was using Roland. The opening track features a symmetry between the guitars and synth lines, while the non-verbal vocals hit the mark in terms of being in key. As was other artists from the Innovative Communications label the attempt was at least to bridge the gap between the ever improving technology and the boundary of what is written music. With tracks like Flying High and High Noon, they show what would be progressive composition...that is the music gets grander with each repetitive line (chorus). This is well done and well composed. http://rapidgator.net/file/90fd4d488fd83737a2900cd795800504/SmileFLAC.rar.html http://ssh.tf/DRUtQYQTY/SmileFLAC.rar

Artist: John Primer & Bob Corritore Title: Ain't Nothing You Can Do! Year Of Release: 2017 Label: Time Blues Genre: Modern Electric Chicago Blues Quality: FLAC (*image+.cue+.log,scans) Total Time: 52:06 Total Size: 441 MB In the year 2017, who better to carry forth the Chicago blues beacon other than John Primer and Bob Corritore? Both have pasts steeped in the blues tradition and each has consistently represented their fundamental roots of the Chicago blues idiom throughout their illustrious careers. Individually, Primer and Corritore command a towering presence, but in combination the power of their blues is unstoppable. Their 2013 Delta Groove debut Knockin Around These Blues is living testimony to this fact. Enthusiastically received by fans and critics alike, their album debuted at #1 on the April 2013 Living Blues Radio Chart and topped out at #5 on the esteemed magazine s Radio Chart s Top 50 Blues Albums for 2013. Additionally, the German-based bluesnews magazine declared it the Best Blues Release of 2013! In the album s wake and through the intervening years, the two have remained independently active on the blues circuit and continued to garner awards, nominations and international critical praise. Corritore has since released three additional album s on Delta Groove, including his all-instrumental platter, Taboo; the Blues Music Award-nominated collaboration with legendary pianist Henry Gray for Historical Album, Vol. 1: Blues Won t Let Me Take My Rest; and the old school modern masterpiece, House Party at Big Jon s, featuring rising young star Big Jon Atkinson, nominated for a 2017 Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Album. Likewise, Primer busied himself with new recordings and high profile projects including the Grammy-nominated album, Muddy Waters 100, which featured the guitarist alongside such industry heavy-hitters as James Cotton, Shemekia Copeland, Gary Clark Jr., Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter and Keb Mo , and in 2016, John took home the honor for Traditional Blues Male Artist in the 37th Annual Blues Music Awards. Now John Primer and Bob Corritore are back with this brilliant follow-up to their 2013 critically-acclaimed Delta Groove debut. Ain t Nothing You Can Do! is another shining example of the power of pure Chicago blues. Backed by an all-star cast that includes Henry Gray, Barrelhouse Chuck, Big Jon Atkinson, Troy Sandow, Chris James, Patrick Rynn and Brian Fahey, Primer and Corritore lead their seasoned session partners through a hard-hitting program of stompin shuffles, rowdy dance floor packers and treacherous slow blues. There s an elegant brashness and unstated uniformity of purpose that can only be achieved through such a pairing of substantially pervasive Chicago backgrounds. This record is exactly what you would hope for from these two Chicago blues stalwarts! Tracklist: CD: John Primer & Bob Corritore - Ain't Nothing You Can Do! 01. Poor Man Blues [0:04:07.21] 02.

Artist: Carla Cook Title: Dem Bones Year Of Release: 2001 Label: MAXJAZZ Genre: Jazz Quality: FLAC (image + .cue, log) / MP3 Total Time: 60:29 min Total Size: 320 MB / 138 MB Tracklist: 01. The More I See You (4:53) 02. Like A Lover (6:42) 03. Oh Gee (4:13) 04. Dem Bones (6:55) 05. Just A Sittin' And A Rockin' (4:50) 06. Ode To Billie Joe (4:36) 07. Someone To Light Up My Life (5:45) 08. For The Elders (7:17) 09. Come, Ye Disconsolate (6:42) 10. Better Than Anything (5:00) 11. A Lover's Lullaby (3:37) Vocalist Carla Cook follows up her 1999 Grammy-nominated It's All About Love with a sterling mixed bag of songs that range from bossa nova and bop to funk, gospel, and even country. To top off the eclecticism, she employs the trombone trio of Fred Wesley, Craig Harris, and Tyrone Jefferson, resulting in an intoxicating album that's as adventurous as it is accessible. Cook's spry readings of Matthew Gee's "Oh Gee" and the gleaming bossa nova prance of Dori Caymmi's "Like a Lover" show off her optimistic voice and needlepoint articulation and intonation. Cook recalls a young Nancy Wilson, especially on the frisky opener, "The More I See You." Her singing, however, gets bluesier on the funky "Dem Bones" and the gospel favorite, "Come, Ye Disconsolate." Even on the oddball selection of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe," Cook delivers the tune with a lithe rhythmic flair that never diminishes the emotional weight of the song. Kudos to the superb rhythm section of bassist James Genus, drummer Billy Kilson, and pianists Bruce Barth and Cyrus Chestnut for their parts in making Dem Bones a fresh, utterly swinging affair. -- John Murph http://rapidgator.net/file/36aab0d7d3141576a19a79888dbf5b2b/CDEBON.rar.html http://ssh.tf/zkTodEVs0/CDEBON.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/685e7a320d3e3ba1748fe975dab46a57/CDEBON320.rar.html http://ssh.tf/etWuwZsG0/CDEBON320.rar

Artist: Rachel Barton Pine, G??ttinger Symphonie Orchester, Christoph-Mathias Mueller Title: Mendelssohn & Schumann Violin Concertos, Beethoven Romances Year Of Release: 2013 Label: Cedille Genre: Classical Quality: 320 / FLAC (tracks) / FLAC (tracks 24bit/96kHz) (d.booklet) Total Time: 1:10:53 Total Size: 167 / 264 Mb / 1.13 Cb Tracklist: 01.

Beethoven: Romance No. 2 in F Majorâ?š Op. 50 8:33 Billboard chart-topping violinist Rachel Barton Pine joins forces with Germany's distinguished G??ttinger Symphonie Orchester and its acclaimed prin[beeep]l conductor, Christoph-Mathias Mueller, to present Mendelssohn's celebrated violin concerto alongside the great, though lesser-known, concerto by Robert Schumann, plus Beethoven's elegant Romances for violin and orchestra. When the artists performed the Schumann in concert, they found the collaboration a revelatory experience. So they reconvened to record this program for listeners everywhere, with the invaluable help of multiple Grammy award-winning producer Steven Epstein. "The Mendelssohn is one of those fiddle war horses that every young soloist plays but few can play as beautifully as [Pine]. Without resorting to any musical distortion, she invested the thrice-familiar phrases with a lyrical grace that seemed newly minted." http://rapidgator.net/file/c860951bff6ac439cea3f5e49e6fa3b0/Rachel_Barton_Pine.320.rar.html http://ssh.tf/oCPffIRs0/Rachel_Barton_Pine.320.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/5e278b9cbcc30a9c009754ba8e39c556/Rachel_Barton_Pine.flac.rar.html http://ssh.tf/ud5usXks0/Rachel_Barton_Pine.flac.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/e188c9d2ffd259bf829acc82ff51b7a8/Rachel_Barton_Pine.24bit.rar.html http://ssh.tf/n5gW2Cls0/Rachel_Barton_Pine.24bit.rar

Artist: Maria Kannegaard Trio Title: Camel Walk Year Of Release: 2008 Label: Jazzland Recordings Genre: Jazz, Contemporary Jazz Quality: Mp3 320 kbps / FLAC (log,image+cue) Total Time: 0:43:15 Total Size: 103 / 202 Mb Tracklist: 01.

Sliding Doors 04:17 09. Travelling Pass 05:18 10. We Interrupt for a Short Commercial 01:28 Musicians: Maria Kannegaard - Piano Ole Morten V??gan - Double Bass Thomas Str??nen - Drums Recorded in Bugge's Room, January 8th-10th, 2008. "Camel Walk" (Jazzland, 2008) is pianist Maria Kannegaard's third album, recorded as a trio together with Ole Morten V??gan on contra bass, and Thomas Str??nen on drums. After her initial releases of 2000's "Breaking the Surface" (Act), and her second studio album of 2005, "Quiet Joy" (Jazzland), we are again warmly welcomed into Kannegaard's exquisite style. Consisting of ten songs composed by Kannegaard, we are taken on something of a musical journey. "Drifting Down the Nile" opens the album, followed by the irking "Haunted". You may notice that this time, Kannegaard's usually developed soloing is on this album is placed within the context of a collective sound. We pause briefly to reflect over "A Cup of Coffee and Some Danish Pastries" before we embark on the title track, "Camel Walk". You may also notice the cross-cultural pollination of jazz, singer/songwriter style, avant garde and indie rock flavorings. Further on, we are introduced to Kannegaard's impeccable technique and expressiveness, as well as through "Sliding Doors", "Traveling Pass" and finally, "We Interrupt for a Short Commercial". It is the welcoming tone of the album overall which places it firmly in one of the most intriguing chamber jazz recordings of the year. We can hear touches of Kannegaard's influences, such as the music of Keith Jarret and Bill Evans in her improvisational skills, and in the disjointed melodic structures of Geri Allen and Herbie Nichols, two composers and performers very near to her heart. However, it is her own style that breaks through, and fused with Thomas Str??nen's always perceptive percussion and Ole Morten V??gan's artfully syncopated bass, it all comes together as an organic whole, a true hallmark of Norwegian jazz. The piano trio never sounded so modern, yet respectfully pays tribute to the traditions of the past, however enveloping them in Kannegaard's forward-looking style. Produced by the trio themselves, "Camel Walk" places them firmly in a new direction, more immediate and powerful, and marks Maria Kannegaard as a vibrant force within the jazz arena. http://rapidgator.net/file/6262dc37b504c1b7870f1881c325010e/CamelWalk_Mp3.rar.html http://ssh.tf/Hv7rYshG0/CamelWalk_Mp3.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/1018e5a13188eeb61f532a78389aa142/CamelWalk_Flac.rar.html http://ssh.tf/DvTvCufG0/CamelWalk_Flac.rar

David Lang's the little match girl passion, for vocal quartet doubling on percussion instruments, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2008. It's a strong, striking piece with a surprisingly potent emotional punch. Part of its effectiveness derives from the story itself, which is so achingly poignant that it can hardly fail to raise a lump in the throat. The text is primarily compiled from the story by Hans Christian Andersen and from familiar sections from Bach's St. Matthew Passion, which sound fresh and new in English translation. Lang's clear-eyed avoidance of sentimentality saves the story from the bathos into which it could easily sink in a less skillful musical setting. Several movements have a trademark minimalist sound surface, whose repetitions (rarely literal here; Lang is a master of subtle rhythmic and melodic shifts) can drive home a point with stark power. The movements share a melodic simplicity that gives them the immediacy of plainchant, but the insistent repetitions, irregular overlapping polyphonic lines, and clashing harmonies mark this as a modern, even innovative work. Part of its genius lies in Lang's ability to create music that sounds archaic and universal, and at the same time entirely contemporary. The performance by Paul Hillier's four-member Theatre of Voices is nothing less than astounding in its purity, clarity, precision, and warm blend. The music creates a mood of simple directness, but it makes technically outrageous demands on the performers, and it's a testimony to the singers' virtuosity that they make it sound spontaneous and effortless. The CD is filled out with four a cappella works admirably performed by Ars Nova Copenhagen. The harmonic stasis and repetitions that characterize these works make them more conventionally minimalist, and as a group they make less of an impact than the featured work. The most persuasive is evening morning day, a setting of the first creation story in Genesis, in which Lang sets only the nouns (although the omits the name of God, and sneaks in a few adjectives.) Using this small set of words, he plays with listeners' musical expectations, as verbal patterns emerge and subtly evolve through the progression of the narrative. The sound of the SACD is vibrant, present, and life-like, particularly in the little match girl passion.

Artist: Kuniko Kato Title: Iannis Xenakis: IX Year Of Release: 2015 Label: Linn Records Genre: Classical Quality: Mp3 320 kbps / FLAC (log,tracks) Total Time: 0:59:25 Total Size: 140 / 258 Mb Tracklist: 1. Pl????ades: I. M??langes (Mixtures) 08:54 2. Pl????ades: II. M??taux (Metals) 13:56 3. Pl????ades: III. Claviers (Keyboards) 10:31 4. Pl????ades: IV. Peaux (Skins) 11:30 5. Rebonds: A 08:07 6. Rebonds: B 06:27 Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001) - Composer KUNIKO's much-anti[beeep]ted third studio recording features the works of Iannis Xenakis, whose work has had a huge impact within the world of music, and in particular on percussion repertoire. Full of challenges, from the pioneering mathematical influences, to unusual notation and virtuosic performance requirements, many classify Xenakis' compositions as unplayable, but KUNIKO's unrivalled prowess sees her perfectly realise the composer's vision. KUNIKO gave the world premiere of Project IX at the Japan Society in New York in 2014. Pleiades explores a rich variety of percussive sounds and textures; marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, xylo-marimba and drums create a sound world of rhythmic complexity and vibrant colours. Uniquely, Pleiades also requires a SIXXEN, an instrument designed by Xenakis and customised by KUNIKO, who hand-selected 120 metal bars to craft the perfect sound. Since becoming a percussion soloist, Rebonds is a piece that KUNIKO has been playing and performing throughout her entire career. After hearing this performance of Xenakis' popular piece, renowned percussionist Sylvio Gualda congratulated KUNIKO on her 'marvellous' interpretation. KUNIKO is a soloist who is recognised around the world for her astonishing virtuosity, exquisite musical insight and expressive yet elegant performance style. She is renowned for her flawless technique when playing both keyboard and percussion instruments, which blends seamlessly with her profound musical intelligence. KUNIKO's debut kuniko plays reich was acclaimed by the media becoming Linn's bestselling album of 2011, whilst cantus entered the Top 10 of the Official UK Specialist Classical Chart. In 2012 KUNIKO completed a world tour playing at venues in America, France, Israel, Italy, Switzerland, Japan and Australia and in 2013 performed at several UK festivals. KUNIKO endorses Adams Musical Instruments and Pearl Musical Instruments worldwide. http://rapidgator.net/file/bd90d3cd2e17d8a24c73006599e758c1/KunInXen_Mp3.rar.html http://ssh.tf/Zagzo4Vs0/KunInXen_Mp3.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/aa00b34c5111c038820851fc1b15bc67/KunInXen_FLAC.rar.html http://ssh.tf/G9DLjKGs0/KunInXen_FLAC.rar

Fog Edagh? n (Ghost Track) - Tinariwen Tinariwen is a Tuareg group that performs a guitar-centric branch of Malian music that, to the untrained ear, is reminiscent of Ali Farka Tour??'s, but is far more rock-oriented and percussive. All of the band's musicians originate from the southern Sahara; the group's name, meaning "empty places," is a reflection of their land of origin. The band formed in the rebel camps of Colonel Gaddafi, as each of the musicians had been forced from their nomadic lifestyle into involuntary military service. Surrounded by a displaced nation of their peers, Tinariwen forged a new style of music, trading their traditional lutes and shepherd's flutes for electric guitars and drums. The style that resulted was dubbed "Tishoumaren," or "the music of the unemployed." Their music addresses issues such as political awakening, problems of exile, repression of their people, and demands of sovereignty. In a region with no postal or telephone system, their tapes soon became a grassroots voice of rebellion and a rallying point for the disenfranchised nation. Though outlawed in Algeria and Mali, 2001's The Radio Tisdas Sessions and 2004's Amassakoul are available to Western audiences. In 2006, they recorded their third album, Aman Iman: Water Is Life, released internationally in 2007 by Harmonia Mundi's World Village imprint. The album was produced by Justin Adams, and featured the voice and guitar of founding member Mohammed Ag Itlale. Tinariwen toured the world for the first time in its wake. They followed the album with Imidiwan: Companions, a two-disc set containing one disc of music and a DVD documentary about Tinariwen's history. This was once again followed by a world tour that included numerous festival appearances in the United States and Europe. Tinariwen signed to America's Anti imprint in 2010. The label encouraged them to experiment. The end result was Tassili, issued in 2011, in which the band recorded a completely acoustic set in a protected region of the southeastern Algerian desert. The tapes were flown to America where guitarist Nels Cline overdubbed electric guitars and New Orleans' famed Dirty Dozen Brass Band added horns, making Tassili a truly international collaboration. The album won a Grammy. The bandmembers were forced to flee Mali due to political and social unrest, and recorded their follow-up, Emmaar, at a studio in Joshua Tree National Park in the United States. It was released in February of 2014. Despite ongoing political upheaval, the band reconvened in 2016 after touring behind Emmaar, to record their sixth studio album, Elwan. http://rapidgator.net/file/f1b2008379f6f41aca4f21cfa4ed00e5/-11627TE17HiRes.rar.html http://ssh.tf/Fe7jRhNs0/-11627TE17HiRes.rar

I've Got You Under My Skin 4:26] 14. Laura [5:41] Herb Alpert had never really embraced his inner jazzman over the course of an entire album before; the closest he came was 1992's Midnight Sun, ultimately a highly controlled cocoon of a recording. But this, at long last, is it, and it represents a string of firsts for the protean trumpeter -- his first truly straight-ahead jazz project, his first all-new album of any kind in ten years, his first complete album with his wife, singer Lani Hall (who gets co-billing), and his first released by a label which he did not co-own. The concept grew out of a series of live dates that he and Hall played in various cities, from which these tracks were assembled. Despite some apparent lightly applied overdubs, it remains an intimate small group album of mostly standards, the kind of thing one might run across at Vibrato -- Alpert's jazz club in the hills above Los Angeles. Hall appears in tandem with Alpert on nine of the 14 tracks -- with Alpert taking five for himself -- which guarantees an additional unique layer of intimacy as Alpert wraps his pithy horn lovingly around Hall's voice. Hall has kept her Portuguese in gear, doing well by Ivan Lins' "Dinorah, Dinorah" and the rapid-fire syllables of "Para-Raio." She adopts a dark, dusky tone on "That Old Black Magic," and for "Let's Face the Music And Dance," she takes on an air of desperation, focusing on the words, "there may be trouble ahead." Still in good shape in his seventies, Alpert retains the marcato bravado of the Tijuana Brass days and the more recent, terse, moody, muted tones of a Miles acolyte; in "It's Only a Paper Moon," these two personas go mano a mano rather humorously. "The Trolley Song," done at an unusually lazy, loping pace by the Tijuana Brass more than four decades before, is taken at a more traditionally quick, Latin-accented tempo here, and this is the third time around for "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face" -- now a casual vocal showcase for Alpert with a witty coda that sneaks in a horn lick from "This Guy's in Love with You." The adept backup trio of Bill Cantos on keyboards -- who comes up with a few nifty quotes himself -- Hussain Jiffry on electric bass, and Michael Shapiro on drums and Latin percussion goes down agreeably. This is a classy, welcome return to album-making for Alpert, and a good fit for Concord's adult-oriented roster. -- Richard S. Ginell http://rapidgator.net/file/4452731704a93a8be6e92593a5551d98/AGOL.rar.html http://ssh.tf/ESi22CNs0/AGOL.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/7392a73b0754b47ab8291fc71e2f6786/AGOL320.rar.html http://ssh.tf/idp2G7bG0/AGOL320.rar

Artist: Atlantic Starr Title: Yours Forever [Japanese Edition] Year Of Release: 1995 (1983) Label: A&M Records [POCM-2043] Genre: Funk, Soul, Disco Quality: FLAC (tracks+.cue,log) Total Time: 40:39 Total Size: 264 MB AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson: Atlantic Starr's fifth album, Yours Forever, was lead singer Sharon Bryant's last album with the East Coast soulsters; it was also the last of three albums that James Carmichael produced for them. While 1981's Radiant and 1982's Brilliance -- the two previous Atlantic Starr LPs that Carmichael had produced -- were superb, this 1983 release is uneven. That isn't to say that Yours Forever is a bad album; none of the material is terrible. But this time, there aren't as many five-star gems. The songs that deserve to be exalted as gems range from the haunting smash "Touch a Four Leaf Clover" and the rock-tinged "Tryin" (both of which feature Bryant) to the dreamy title song (which finds David Lewis providing a memorable lead vocal). Unfortunately, Yours Forever also has its share of songs that are merely competent. Take "I Want Your Love," for example. This Chic-like sophisti-funk/dance number (which shouldn't be confused with the 1978 Chic hit that is also titled "I Want Your Love") is pleasant enough, but it isn't in a class with "Circles," "When Love Calls," "Love Me Down," and other treasures that Carmichael had produced for Atlantic Starr in 1981 or 1982. For Atlantic Starr fans, hearing Yours Forever in 1983 was like receiving beer when you had grown accustomed to champagne -- if Radiant and Brilliance were R&B feasts, Yours Forever is merely a snack. It isn't a disaster, but it doesn't live up to the consistently high standards that had characterized Atlantic Starr's previous work with Carmichael. Of the three albums that Carmichael produced for Atlantic Starr in the early '80s, Yours Forever is the least essential and the most inconsistent. Tracklist: 01. Yours Forever (4:55) 02. Touch a Four Leaf Clover (4:44) 03. More, More, More (4:44) 04. I Want Your Love (5:00) 05. Second to None (4:39) 06. Island Dream (4:53) 07. Who Could Love You Better? (4:32) 08. More Time for Me (3:44) 09. Tryin' (3:28) http://rapidgator.net/file/90cfff1a88c1be1bf213a69d241baa0d/AStrr-YF983JE995F.rar.html http://ssh.tf/VF4bnXtB8/AStrr-YF983JE995F.rar

Adagio The 32 Piano Sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven are often referred to as the 'New Testament' of the keyboard literature, following on the 'Old Testament' of J.S. Bach's 48 preludes and fugues in the Well-Tempered Clavier. Composed over a period of almost three decades, from 1795 to 1822, the sonatas constitute a fascinating panorama of an artistic career which underwent numerous changes not to say upheavals but nevertheless remained remarkably consistent. Ever since the first recording of the entire cycle, by Artur Schnabel in the 1930s, a number of the world's leading pianists have given us their performances of this monumental collection on disc. One of the latest cycles is that of Ronald Brautigam, released on single discs between 2004 and 2010. Performed on the fortepiano, as part of a series of Beethoven's complete solo keyboard works, Brautigam's recordings have been described as 'riveting', 'compelling' and 'revolutionary'. The eight discs with the 32 sonatas are now being released as a boxed set, along with a ninth disc containing the early, unnumbered sonatas. Contributing factors to the 'refreshing directness' that reviewers have experienced in these performances are the widely praised recorded sound and the carefully selected instruments, built by Paul McNulty after originals from 1788-1819 by the foremost Viennese makers of fortepianos. For this boxed set, the original SACD format has been retained along with the possibility of listening to the performances in surround thus offering the opportunity of sharing the experience of one reviewer: 'One has almost the impression of being a contemporary of Beethoven's: one of the first, infinitely startled not to say shocked witnesses to this music' (Suddeutsche Zeitung). http://rapidgator.net/file/7906c6479441b1373876dcb0703f02f4/RBBTCS.rar.html http://ssh.tf/2IktpmUt8/RBBTCS.rar
