In the summer of 1964, Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records attended a DJ convention in Miami. Henry Stone, the record producer from Florida, suggested that he stop by a nightclub called "King of Hearts" to listen to a local singing duo, known as Sam & Dave.

ALL THAT OUR MOTHERS HAVE FOUGHT is a collection of contemporary, Norwegian choral works portraying strong women. The music illustrate some of the many storms that women have had to – and still have to – weather. They tell stories about the women’s suffrage movement, about a Syrian student risking her life to complete her medical education, and about a small girl’s defiance.

Growing up in North Little Rock, Arkansas, pianist Christopher Parker and Saxophonist Chad Fowler lived one block away from each other.

Great American Painting is the rare album that shines a bright light on all that’s wrong in the world but somehow still channels a galvanizing sense of hope. With equal parts nuanced observation and raw outpouring of feeling, the Philadelphia-based band confront a constellation of problems eroding the American ideal (gentrification, gun violence, the crushing weight of late capitalism), ornamenting every track with their explosive yet elegant breed of indie-rock/post-punk.

An organist at the Chapelle Royale de Versailles alongside François Couperin, François d’Agincour rubbed shoulders with the likes of Scarlatti, Bach, Handel and Rameau. Lesser known than his famous counterparts, this Normandy-born musician, who later moved to Paris, never created any operas or grandiose motets that could have established him as one of the greats in the musical hall of fame. Instead, he left behind a collection of organ pieces that has yet to be published, a few arias and this beautiful Livre de Pièces de clavecin from 1733 that was dedicated to Queen Marie Leszczinska, the wife of Louis XV… which is just glorious.

In SOUNDS OF THE WORLD, Stephan Bormann presents a world tour with 12 diverse guitar duets. Each composition is inspired by a particular cultural area. With versatility of style, he moves from Europe to South and North America to the Orient, arousing irrepressible joy for acoustic and electric guitarists alike. This collection presents both parts as a score in easy as well as more advanced versions.

The everyday is transfigured in this intimate collection of chamber music and songs by leading young Scottish composer Martin Suckling – settings for mezzo-soprano and piano of five magical, moonlit poems by Michael Donaghy and a string quintet written in collaboration with the poet Frances Leviston, whose readings of her own texts frame the four movements of a piece which pays dual homage to Schubert and to Emily Dickinson.

Keigo Oyamada (小山田 圭吾, Oyamada Keigo, born January 27, 1969), also known by his moniker Cornelius (CORNELIUS（コーネリアス）, Kōneriasu), is a Japanese musician and producer who co-founded Flipper's Guitar, an influential Shibuya-kei band, and subsequently embarked on a solo career…

New Orleans’ EYEHATEGOD is the snarling, bilious sound of dead-end America. Since 1988, they’ve been a soundtrack for the troubled masses. Ugly music for ugly times. That’s the sense of disenchantment and disease that lies the heart of their latest and sixth full-length album, “A History of Nomadic Behavior”.

In this musical meeting, a unique expression is created in harmony by three dynamic and creative musicians.

Sound formations in neoclassical ambient: Norwegian composer and pianist Julia Gjertsen is set to release her sophomore album. There is such music, to which a certain magic is attached. It slowly envelops you, draws the listener under its spell, with catchy melodies and aesthetic fascination to take you to faraway places and dimensions. A Scandinavian who lives out the Nordic melancholy with heart and soul, Julia Gjertsen from Oslo proved this with the album "Fragile" from 2019.

The cycle of six solo Sonatas and Partitas by J.S. Bach is arguably one of the most powerful and most important compositions in musical history. These works have been with Linus Roth since he was nine years old, when he first learned the Gigue from the E major Partita, moving on by the age of twelve to the first Fugue in G minor to tackling at fifteen the Ciaconna, which represents a cosmos in its own right.

“Time Assassin” is probably the bands most heavy and epic release yet. It features the concluding part to the “Dominator” saga so get ready for an onslaught of sci-fi fantasy molten metal!
