Band:GRAVETEMPLE
Album:Impassable Fears CD
Label:SVART
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Experimental, shamanistic free rock ritual by men from Mayhem and Sunn O)))
Imploding, abstracting, and distorting the concepts of
ceremony, volume, and density since 2006, surrealist,
esoteric, and experimental rock band Gravetemple (Oren
Ambarchi, Stephen O'Malley and Attila Csihar) return with
a new album, Impassable Fears, recorded at Orgone with
Jaime Gomez Arellano.
On Impassable Fears, Gravetemple have refined and
diversified their nuanced form of all‐consuming, abstract
death metal‐inspired heaviness. The essence of their
otherworldly vocal exhortations, the maelstrom of frenetic
beats and heavy guitar sounds are ever‐present, as is the
sheer power of their delivery. Yet Impassable Fears is far
from unrelenting; there's shifting dynamics, revealing an
abundance of unexplored sonic detail, across all
intersections, deftly balancing minimalist and maximalist
sounds with finesse.

Band:LOSS
Album:Horizonless
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Six doomed years in creation since their debut LP “Despond”, Nashville, Tennessee melancholic death/funeral doom metal band
LOSS have completed work on their anticipated masterwork of pure doom death worship “Horizonless”, one of the most
anticipated death/doom metal releases of the year set for release on May 19th on CD/2xLP/Digital.
Reaching further into the void and traveling even more beyond the realms of hopelessness and despair “Horizonless” is a
journey devoid of all hope and redemption, one where heartbreak, total death and never ending despondency prevails.
Ultimately “Horizonless” will easily become realized as LOSS’ most accomplished work yet.
Produced and engineered by Billy Anderson (Pallbearer, Bell Witch, Neurosis, Red House Painters) in the band’s hometown,
giving LOSS their most monumental sound yet, “Horizonless” (which also features guest vocals from Wrest of LEVIATHAN)
forges the LOSS’ sound tapestry into more vast and sprawling territory; heavier, darker, more melancholic, and sorrowful.
Where “Despond” laid down that foundation that gave LOSS the reputation as the saddest and bleakest band in the death/doom
metal movement, “Horizonless” forges that funeral march onwards towards ruin, decay, and utter oblivion.
LOSS’ previous/debut album “Despond”, released six years ago, was one of the most praised
death/doom metal albums of 2011 and introduced vocalist Brett Campbell, from then unknown
band PALLBEARER, who made a guest appearance on the album and was people’s introduction to
his vocals and to PALLBEARER respectively

Band:IMPETUOUS RITUAL
Album:Blight Upon Martyred Sentience
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:Death Metal
Australia’s IMPETUOUS RITUAL follow up their last album “Unholy Congregation Of Hypocritical
Ambivalence” and their debut “Relentless Execution Of Ceremonial Excrescence” LP with their new
musical abomination of ambient death metal surrealism “Blight Upon Martyred Sentience” which takes
their unhinged vortex-like death metal chaos into much more abstract, cavernous, and otherworldly realms.
With a sound even less conventional and even more weirder and alien than its two predecessors,
“Blight…” harnesses a much darker atmosphere (if one could even imagine that would be possible),
sometimes veering off into abstract noise and dark ambient, creating a much more depraved, violent,
torturous and malevolent audial canvas like no other band in extreme death metal today. One could say
that with the even stranger and warped sound picture that IMPETUOUS RITUAL have painted with
“Blight…”, that the band have transcended and inverted the genre of death metal unto something of their
own vision unparalleled.
IMPETUOUS RITUAL feature two members of PORTAL amongst the lineup.

Band:NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE
Album:POWERGLIDE
Label:LION PRODUCTIONS
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Psych/Garage Reissues
In the days before genre obsession, a rock and roll fervour drew on a rediscovery of
blue grass, folk, blues and ‘country music’. Add to the mix consciousness-expansion afforded
by the proliferation of psychedelic drugs, and the music scene of the West Coast of America
percolated, powered by this heady brew. At the heart of this experiment in new music and
consciousness the New Riders of The Purple Sage were born. The history of the New Riders
will forever be intertwined with that of their fellow travelers the Grateful Dead. Both bands
shared a down-home vibe, and shared members for recording dates. Jerry Garcia of
the Grateful Dead co-founded the New Riders with John Dawson and David Nelson as an
opportunity to play pedal steel guitar—although he plays banjo and dobro on Powerglide,
first released in 1972. Dawson and Nelson returned the favor, playing on Dead masterpieces
"American Beauty" and "Workingman’s Dead". Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart of the Dead
rounded out the New Riders rhythm section until David Torbert took over on bass and
Spencer Dryden of Jefferson Airplane fame took over on drums. Grateful Dead drummer
Bill Kreutzman plays percussion on this album. To add to all that star power, noted British
pianist Nicky Hopkins (Beatles, Kinks, Stones) played keyboards on Powerglide. Dave
Torbert's ‘California Day’ is a gem, a hymn to the West Coast with some beautiful slide and
fuzz guitar work; ‘Contract,’ is an equally impressive blend of country rock and old
west imagery. NRPS's cover of 'Willie and the Hand Jive' has a distinctly Grateful Dead jam
vibe to it. This wasn’t music desperate for chart success, it was a soundtrack to an outlaw,
countercultural lifestyle that aimed to escape the city and get away to the mountains. So,
saddle up!

Band:RICHARD BONE
Album:THE AGE OF FALCONRY
Label:MEGA DODO
Format:cd
Genre:Avantgarde/Electronic
RICHARD BONE (born February 3, 1952 - Atlanta, GA) has been creating music since his early teens. He began his
professional musical career by creating soundtracks and scores for off-Broadway companies working in experimental theater. In
1979 he released with his band Bone the single Pirate the Islands/Headlines Have It before joining the legendary new-wave band
Shox Lumania in 1981. Richard then recorded a 7" entitled Digital Days/Alien Girl independently and was subsequently signed to
the UK based label Survival Records where he released several LPs, EPs, singles and contributed to various compilation
albums. His 1983 single Joy of Radiation reached #1 on the Hong Kong dance music charts.
Richard created the Quirkworks Laboratory Discs label in 1991 allowing him freedom to create music of a more experimental
nature and retain control of his musical direction. Since then Richard has released over twenty-five recordings of new material,
several collaborations and contributed to many compilations. Of the new material recordings, three quickly rose to the #1
placement on industry charts and those three, along with several others, have also received numerous other honours.

Band:CRYSTAL JACQUELINE
Album:AWAIT THE QUEEN
Label:MEGA DODO
Format:CD
Genre:Psych/Garage
Crystal Jacqueline was born in Wiltshire, England and from an early age she developed a love and a talent
for music. In 2010 she recorded her first album and was a founder member of The Honey Pot. She has
released several singles and albums for the Fruits de Mer and Mega Dodo labels and has developed a
reputation as one of the best female vocalists on the neo‐psych scene.
Her latest album for Mega Dodo, Await The Queen is a gorgeous album of rich psychedelic textures and
lighter acid‐folk melodies, it mixes both with ease to deliver a sensual mix of textures and sonic
landscapes that make it an immersive sonic experience. Her haunting vocals combined with the song
writing skills of her producer, Icarus Peel, to once again produce one of those albums that you hear once,
play again, and before you know it, an entire day has gone by and you’ve still not heard enough.

Band:MOUNTAIN
Album:LIVE IN MELLE
Label:SIREENA
Format:2CD
Genre:Classic Rock
Music by Mountain is high-pressure hardrock in perfection. Songs like „Mississippi Queen“, „Nantucket
Sleighride“, „Theme From an Imaginary Western“ and „Blood of the Sun“, to name only a few, belong to
the memorable classics of rock music that even decades after their creation haven’t lost any of their vibes
and fascination. Founded in 1969 by Felix Papplardi (bass), Leslie West (guitar), Corky Laing (drums) and
Steve Knight (keys), the band has a turbulent history, as is expected of a formation existing for such a long
time. Mountain in its original line-up only existed for three years but during that time the band was
unusually productive and successful and even won three gold discs. After briefly renaming the band and
multiple changes in line-up, the band can be experienced here with founding member Laurence „Corky“
Laing of the band and his colleagues Phil Parker and Joe Venti. The gentlemen on this CD can prove that
their music still belongs to the best there is and it can be enjoyed here by fans of harder tunes. This CD was
recorded during the “German Sleighride Tour” at Kulturwerkstatt Melle-Buer, Germany. It is part of a live
CD collection that is presented and continuously extended by Sireena Records in cooperation with ON
STAGE.

Band:NEKTAR
Album:LIVE IN BREMEN
Label:SIREENA
Format:2CD
Genre:Prog Rock
In 1969, a band was formed that still is one of the most important and most famous progressive and art-rock
formations in the world: Nektar. Founded by the Brits Roye Albrighton, Allan Freeman, Ron Howden and Derek
Moore in Hamburg, the band quickly became world famous and turned into a legendary idol for other musicians at
that time. Their terrific live performances have contributed to this reputation, which aside from elaborately created
music also offered opulent light installation and slides projections. Even though the gentlemen in 1973 slightly selfironically
put the headline “NOT the number one German band in England but the number one English band in
Germany“ on one of their posters, they already were stars in all of Europe and the USA. The long-playing records
“Remember The Future” and “Down To Earth” achieved gold status, to describe their tours as “well attended” would
be a shameless understatement. But as life goes, after some ups and downs in the early 1980ies, the band broke up.
Luckily not forever, because in 2001, Albrighton, Freeman and Ray Hardwick revived the band Nektar. And with
enormous success until today, as many fans in the world can confirm.
This 2CD set was recorded in 2015 at a concert hosted by the well known Meisenfrei Blues Club in Bremen and is
the next issue of a live-collection that is presented by Sireena Records and ON STAGE. It is also the last concert of
NEKTAR with its founder Roye Albrighton, who died on July 26, 2016 after a long illness.

Band:ELECTRIC FAMILY
Album:Terra Cirus
Label:SIREENA
Format:cd
Genre:Kraut / Space Rock
Founded in Bremen by Tom "The Perc" Redecker, from the beginning the project became a multimusical
association, which knows no boundaries and seems to feel comfortable in every genre , regardless of whether it is
prog-, Kraut-, punk-, jazz- or folkrock. It's not surprising that numerous musicians from such diverse bands as Amon
Düül II, Die Ärzte, Grobschnitt, Boa's Voodoo Club, Lokomotive Kreuzberg, Pankow, Rockhaus, Mojo Club,
Emsland Hillbillies - to name only a few - joined THE ELECTRIC FAMILY in the studio and on stage. For their
second album, "Tender", 1999, THE ELECTRIC FAMILY had almost received the German Critic Record Prize, and
to the third album "Ice Cream Phoenix" American rock writer David Fricke (Rolling Stone) wrote the liner notes!
"You can get lost in this music," was his enthusiastic conclusion, and in principle this assessment may be valid for all
albums (and performances) of THE ELECTRIC FAMILY. multimusical association, which knows no boundaries and
seems to feel comfortable in
In the summer of 2016, with The Perc (vocals, guitar, bass), Harry Payuta (vocals, sitar, bass) Rolf Kirschbaum
(vocals, guitar) and Hanno Janssen (drums) four original band members gathered in the studio with Anders Becker
(keyboardist of the legendary Mandra Gora Lightshow Society), and Steff Ulrich, drums and percussion.
In just two and a half days the job was done, and the recordings finished.
One can say without exaggeration, that "Terra Circus" has become the most powerful and impulsive album of the
Electric Family. The energy is almost tangible, and especially guitarist Rolf Kirschbaum (The Pachinko Fake, ex-Witt,
ex-Fehlfarben) rages as if it were about his life. But the whole band is presented in the very best condition: Harry
Payuta shows repeatedly that he is one of the best sitarists of the time, analogue keyboardist Anders Becker shines on
his keys, the two drummers Janssen and Ulrich push and push forward uninterruptedly, and bandleader The Perc holds
the band together with his 6 or 12 strings. The deeply self-contained cover versions were always the salt in the soup of
the Electric Family, "Lucrecia, my Reflection" of the Sisters Of Mercy is a psychedelic monster with sitar support, and
"Mary, Mary so contrary" from CAN grows to a passionate contribution with Slide Guitar and a three-pipe organ solo
in the key part. Redecker, Payuta and Kirschbaum alternative with each other behind the mics, and the album ends
with the jam session "The Dreamboat", and after that, nothing can happen!

Band:MOMBASA
Album:Shango Over Devil's Moor live 1976
Label:SIREENA
Format:CD
Genre:JAZZ/JAZZ ROCK
MOMBASA was a European-African band, put together by LA trombonist Lou Blackburn (1922-1990) in
1973. All of their albums between 1975 and 1981 have been recorded in Germany. The trombone of Lou
Blackburn carries the lead on most tracks - snaking out wonderfully over the grooves, with a quality that's
amazingly soulful, and which almost has him standing head to head with Fred Wesley as a 70s innovator
on his instrument. Other members of the group include Doug Lucas on trumpet, Bob Reed on percussion,
Alan Tatham on drums, and Don Ridgeway on electric bass. A great ensemble that knew to mix together
jazz and African roots with a sound that's unlike anyone else we can think of - quite unique in its approach
to rhythms, sounds, and solos!
On September 2, 1976 MOMBASA entered the stage at legendary STAGGE's HOTEL in Osterholz-Scharmbeck
and provided an inspiring and brilliant performance. The complete performance has been preserved and digitally
reworked. We are very proud to present this unique audio document.

Band:The Parson Red Heads
Album:BLURRED HARMMONY
Label:YOU ARE THE COSMOS
Format:CD
Genre:Psych/Folk
The Parson Red Heads’ 4th full length record, Blurred Harmony, is a 44‐minute distillation of
everything the band has musically cultivated, internalized, and learned over their past 13 years
writing and playing together. From the pedal steel soaked cosmic jangle of album opener
“Please Come Save Me”, the Paisley Underground riff‐driven “Coming Down”, the ambient,
harmony‐bathed ballad “What Have I Become”, all the way to the four‐part power‐pop suite
that closes the record, Blurred Harmony could be looked at as an aural‐primer of the band’s
various musical loves and influences, projected through the lens of the band’s trademark
sound.

Band:Pillow Queens
Album:Calm Girls
Label:SPECIALIST SUBJECT
Format:7 Inch Vinyl
Genre:Alt Rock
Debut 7” EP from Dublin's queer, all girl, indie rock group, Pillow Queens!
Self-released late last year Calm Girls, captures three confident and fully realised songs from a band barely 6 months old.
Recorded in the shell of a house that was abandoned by its owner after the economic crash with the help of producer Peter
Ashmore.
The title Calm Girls is an ironic nod to the band's anxious nature. Throughout the EP expect themes of despair, crisis of self &
distrust. Closing with Wonderboys which the band describe as “an attempt to put into musical form the feeling you get when your
eyes roll back into your head when faced with toxic masculinity”.
While taking influence from artists from contemporary US DIY indie & punk scenes (such as Mitski, Waxahatchee, Hop Along,
Cloud Nothings, PWR BTTM), Pillow Queens stay true to their Irish heritage, using Dublin colloquialisms in their lyrics and
singing in thick Irish accents.
With new music and touring planned for the rest of 2017, think of this as the perfect introduction to your new favourite band.

Genre:Prog Folk Psych
Vlubä is an argentinian paranormal art project of ritual, cosmic, drone and free music founded by Müriscia Divinorum and Aphra
Cadabra.
Since their fundation in 2001 they have released severals albums on different labels around the world (Ikuissus, Pseudoarcana,

Vlubä has played in festivals (Festival Integraciones - Perú and Festival los Lenguajes Alienígenas - México), several gigs in the
underground scene and multimedia projects... like recently, in the peruvian desert of Chilca with a hypnotic UFO show and a
radio transmission to space.
All their works are focussing on extraterrestrial theme, sci-fi and mostly in a strong psyche-shamanistic soundscape essence.
As they say: “Vlubä is an Entheogen”.
"Exile to Another Dimension" was recorded around 2014 with the vision in mind that they were a famous alternate rock band in
another
dimension. A quite different album in their catalogue.

Genre:Industrial/EBM
Four years after the release of their last album “Companion in Crime“, Funker Vogt are finally back. Along with their new singer, Chris
L.(Agonoize/ The Sexorcist), they present the new single „Der letzte Tanz“ followed by a new album called „Code of Conduct“.
The Band around Gerrit Thomas and Rene Dornbusch proves again that they still belong to the top of the EBM- and industrial-scene.
The new material contains a lot of excellent club hits: Songs like “Tanzbefehl“, “Phönix“ or “Kampfbereit“ as well as the new hymn and first single „Der letzte Tanz“ will soon head to the clubs.
But the fans will also discover calmer, almost melancholic tracks like “Für immer“ or “Armed & Dangerous“. Funker Vogt have always been part in the who is who of the dark elcectro scene and with the new single and album this will not change in the
future. Funker Vogt present themselves more complex and more vital than ever.
Funker Vogt issues the command to dance!

Album:Endtime Psalms
Label:Cryo Chamber
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
Aegri somnia returns with his long awaited second album on Cryo Chamber.
The hum of the Endtime Psalms echo through burnt out buildings. Awaiting impending death as the sky grows dark. Black smoke
wheezing from charred windows. We we're born from stardust, but are but puppets in a mindless game of DNA manipulation, life.
Deep analogue drones rumble under the heavy boots of the human machine. Aegri Somnia plays the role of field recorder and
audio manipulator with surgical precision.

Album:Cthulhu
Label:Cryo Chamber
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The
sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated
knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the
revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age". / H.P. Lovecraft
Arguably the largest Dark Ambient project to date, the Cthulhu album is a collaboration between 12 artists who all worked
together to pay tribute not only to Lovecraft, but to what lurks beyond our colorful illusion.

Massive sweeps of sub bass underlines this brilliant album. Serene winds of emotional texture mix with bowed strings. Guitars
crackle with slight distortion as they hover over fields of tape noise.
This album probes the depth of the future, where memory transfers into binary form. Digital consciousness in a perpetual loop
reliving the past in fractal labyrinths.

Album:The Time Machine
Label:Cryo Chamber
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
SiJ explores Time Travel on the album The Time Machine.
The Time Machine propels us forwards and backwards in time. From ancient civilization, where the chatter reverberates in
clouded temples. To our impending doom in a future stripped of humanity. A grinding squeal as the paradox cracks reality. At our
feet blue skies reflected in a desert of broken mirrors.
Warm soothing field recordings mix with bright overlays and distant instruments. Taking the help of Textere Oris, Particula,
Wandering Wind and others, this album is as detailed as it is complex.
For lovers of atmospheric drone and field recording

Band:Northumbria
Album:Markland
Label:Cryo Chamber
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
As you set foot in Markland, the salty mist of the ocean gives way, swirling around your heavy boots as they crunch on the rocks.
Unexplored land left untouched. The wind screams around the mountaintops and something echoes in the distance. You make
your way across the steep mountain pass, your eyes water as the weather turns harsher with each step. From atop the cliffs you
kneel in awe at the primordial alien landscape stretching on and on. Your trembling hand covers the yellow hazy sun as you spot
wild shadows dancing in the dark forest below. A sickly thunderous roar builds from deep within the earth turning day into night,
what is this place?
Using only guitar and bass, and recording their improvised compositions live, Jim Field and Dorian Williamson create a deep
textured sound world. Evoking the ancient wonder that the Norse explorers must have felt discovering Markland, the land of the
Forests.

Band:AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Album:Eternal
Label:WICKERMAN RECORDINGS
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
The father of the Shoegaze Post-Black Metal are back.
Main theme of this album is the usual deadly mixture of decay, sense of loss & scent of death.
Rotten, polluted & abrasive as AAFCC are able to deliver but at the same time drawing their tense melancholic visions.
After many years of activity AAFCC are ready to prove once again their personal approach to this emotional soundscape, being one of the first act to pollute Black Metal with post-rock & negative vibes, shoegaze shadings, before this musical direction became a trend.
In spite of the desperate feelings surrounding the whole album no compromise is made, as usual by the Netherlands combo with the
emotional & feeble declines of the scene late revisions.
The fathers of Shoegaze Post Black Metal are back

Band:THISQUIETARMY / THANK U FOR SMOKING
Album:split no 7
Label:Subsound Records
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Postrock / Post Hardcore / Noise
Canadian solo drone guitarist THISQUIETARMY crossed paths with the Sardinian
postrockers THANK U FOR SMOKING on their respective European tours, sharing the stage
together in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy in the spring 2016.
In the spirit of creating a real collaboration for the Subsound Split series rather
than a singular split album, TQA & TUFS decide to connect the dots by exchanging
demos and playing on each other's tracks to transform both their distinctive style of
post-music into a fresh, merged sound entity. With TQA touring the world for most of
the year, the music was written and recorded on the road between Sao Paulo, Montreal,
Berlin and Sardinia. The entire collaboration was then skillfully mixed and mastered
by Valerio Fisik at HombreLobo Studio, Rome.

Band:Asphalt Jungle
Album:Junglization
Label:BHP Music - Guitar Trax
Format:CD
Genre:Dance/Electronica
Asphalt Jungle, the Emmy Award winning team of Tarquin & Ingram, have a long history in recording/producing albums
together. Their latest release, Junglization delves deep into drum n’ bass territory. Bigger beats, phatter grooves and larger than
life orchestral pieces. The album opens with the classic Bob Marley tune; “Mr. Brown” stunningly remixed and tweaked
breakbeat-style for the club DJs. Followed by tracks “Athena” and “Apocalypse,” laced with live string arrangements that
showcase their extensive musical ability to add depth and drama over heavy drum n’ bass breaks. Orchestral lines, guitars, bass,
and violins intertwined with electric precision, truly sets them apart from other electronic artists. Not your typical redundant DJ
music either, they are true musicians bringing musical sensibility to each track.
Outburn Magazine calls the duo, “Quite capable of knocking out hard hitting, club friendly tracks that combine the best elements
of dance and metal….and sounds like the Crystal Method on steroids."

Band:Asphalt Jungle
Album:Bob Marley Remixed
Label:BHP Music - Guitar Trax
Format:CD
Genre:Dance/Electronica
Asphalt Jungle went deeper into the Marley catalog to create “Remixed”, hoping to show both devoted fans and new generations
of listeners that there was a lot more to reggae’s international ambassador than just his biggest hits. The exuberant new charge of
“Mr. Brown”, laid out over lightning fast beats and dance floor-ready synths come as a pleasant shock, while the breezy drum
‘n’ bass underpinnings, flutes and funky basses of “Move” bring fresh urgency to Marley’s hopeful vocals. “Duppy Conquerer”
is just huge in the hands of Asphalt Jungle, where Bob soars over a big, dirty, slow hand 4/4 rock beat. Meanwhile, “Put it On”
has resurfaced as a sunglasses-at-night club cruiser, with agilely marauding bass lines, hip-swaying grooves, constant ear candy
and a percussion battery that gives Marley’s voice dramatically dark spaces to move through.
The long list of surprises of “Bob Marley Remixed” goes on and on, a fittingly advanced environment for a timeless singer in
the new millennium. “Bob Marley’s vocals are so soulful, such an amazing vehicle for the storytelling he weaves, they just seem
to rise above everything else,” says Tarquin. “Hearing his voice in a fresh context is incredibly inspirational. With these remixes
it’s just like he’s in the room, singing to you for the first time all over again.”

Album:Get The Led Out - Led Zeppelin Salute
Label:BHP Music - Guitar Trax
Format:CD
Genre:Rock
The concept of taking twelve celebrated numbers from the Zeppelin songbook and reworking them sans vocals works wonders on Get The Led Out! - Led Zeppelin Salute. Renowned for his great ears and studio expertise, producer guitarist Brian Tarquin assembled a sweeping array of classic Zeppelin covers as performed by some of rock’s cutting edge guitar stars. Brian Tarquin’s deft touch in the studio brings out the sonic luster, adding to the instrumental rock wizardry in play on Get The Led Out! As a boon for Zeppelin fans, Get The Led Out! adds in four vintage bonus cuts—three from 1970 with Jimmy Page, Daniel Edwards, John Bonham and singer David “Lord” Sutch and one from ‘68 with John Paul Jones and singer Keith de Groot—presenting an interesting twist to this classic CD tribute.

propulsive funk lines with shredmaster Joe Satriani? Uber-technical prog icon Allan Holdsworth sharing space on a CD with former Led
Zeppelin multiinstrumentalist John Paul Jones, funky jazzer John Scofield, Tele terror Will Ray, and rock wizard Steve Morse? You also get treated to Marcus Nand’s Latin motifs on “Rumba,” Violet Samudra and Steve Booke’s thrilling East Indian adventure “Picture of a Purple Sky,” the smooth jazz of Martin Winch’s “Stay With Me,” and the beautiful melodicism of Carl Tosten’s “What Can I Say” and Jason Carter’s “Kruununvuori.” Finally, headbangers can get off on Doug Stapp’s killer version of “Frankenstein,” James Ryan’s trippy “Space Talk,” Doug Doppler’s industrial shred-fest “Zero Gravity,” and Guitar Masters producer Brian Tarquin’s rock/electronica hybrid “Jack Hammer” (which was recorded at his Jungle Room Studios).

Album:Stevie Ray Vaughan Lenny
Label:BHP Music - Guitar Trax
Format:CD
Genre:Blues
Stevie Ray Vaughan ignited the blues revival in the '80s. Vaughan drew equally from bluesmen like Albert King, Otis Rush, and
Muddy Waters and rock & roll players like Jimi Hendrix, developing a uniquely eclectic and fiery style that sounded like no
other guitarist. In 1981 he named his band Double Trouble, and in 1982 caught the attention of David Bowie, who in 1982 asked
him to play on the hit "Let's Dance." In 1983 Vaughan released his debut album, Texas Flood, and the following year he
released Couldn't Stand the Weather, a commercial and critical success. Stevie released a total of 18 albums and in 2003, Rolling
Stone magazine ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan #7 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, while Classic Rock
Magazine ranked him #3 in their list of the 100 Wildest Guitar Heroes in 2007.
Vaughn bridged the gap between blues and rock like no other artist had since the late '60s. Stevie Ray became the leading light
in American blues; consistently selling out concerts while his albums regularly went gold.

Band:Powernerd
Album:Nerd Power
Label:SEA YOU
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
Nerd Power is the fitting title of Powernerd's debut album, on which the three uber-nerds give us a taste of their retro-futuristic,
hopelessly dystopic world. Subtlety is not their thing though: 4-to-the-floor beats meet heavy new wave-synthesizers, virtuoso
guitar solos cut through post-apocalyptic landscapes. Moreover, Powernerd invited the international synthwave-scene to
collaborate: OsCar (Italy), The Grind Theory (USA), Neon Nox (Sweden) plus local artists Ankathie Koi (Fijuka) and Johann
Martinus Bass (Johann Sebastian Bass). Featuring digital and analogue instruments the band always kept an eye on the record's
smooth transition to the live stage as well. Nerd Power was recorded at Powernerd's own home studio.
We don't know the people (?) behind Powernerd. We do know that there are three of them: an android with Yngwie Malmsteenprogramming,
a synth-technopriest, and a drumrobot. Not a drum machine but an actual robot on drums. This sounds (and looks)
somewhat like Daft Punk mixed with Bunker Records and John Carpenter soundtracks. That's not surprising, given that they
claim to be from the dystopic future of the 1980s. That is, the dystopic future as imagined in the 80s. They travelled to the past
(our present) to rule us. Or control us via midi Bass controllers. Or something like that. To be honest we weren't really listening,
they were talking in robot voices constantly, it was really annoying.

Band:The Crispies
Album:Death Row Kids
Label:SEA YOU
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
Our generation lives in abundance, is bored, supersaturated of fun and commits suicide, slow but steady, in excess. - Tino
Romana
The Crispies debut album Death Row Kids celebrates ephemerality in a typical rock'n'roll way of life: fuzz, hooks, reverb,
wrapped in adolescent hedonism and sex. Death Row Kids tears rock history apart – grunge, punk and psychedelic rock got
grilled and recomposed in their very own style. It's a diving, pushed forward, sometimes loud and raw, otherwise hypnotic sound.
Comparable to their notoriously excessive live shows.
The Crispies are Tino Romano (vocals), Rob Wolfe (guitar), Bruno Marcus (bass) and Peter (drums), all 20 years young, all lefthanders
and from the same music school background. After their graduation in 2004 they founded The Crispies in Wolfe's cellar,
partly of lack of perspectives, partly just for fun. Their self-image is based on antagonistic tenses – based on rock'n'roll cliches –
concerning boredom and excess, self-mockery and sincerity. They like compare their music to analog photography: spontaneous
snap-shots, sometimes a beauty, sometimes kaput

So I started to sing / from the top of my head to my tiny toe / I am grasping for air / till I get in the flow. These lyrics are taken from
Sing, the first track of Playing Savage`s debut album Wild. Frontwoman Savage doesen´t have the choice - she has to sing, even
moved from New York to Vienna to do so. It only took her 2 weeks to write the 11 songs of her album, because they were
internalized since her childhood, inspired by her fathers Stevie Wonder, Janis Joplin and Michael Jackson tapes, that she heard
till they wore out. After that came a funky sounds of 70s and 80s phase. Wild accordingly sounds like a lovechild of pop, rock and
funk mixed with self confidence and a good portion of humor, even extroverted, sexy and euphoriant at some points (Bigger,
Sing). But there are thoughtful and vulnerable parts as well (Time To Shine, Unstable). One thing all songs have in common:
they are 100% savage.

Band:THIEVES LIKE US
Album:THIEVES LIKE US
Label:Seayou
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
After a four year hiatus, Thieves Like Us return with their fifth eponomously titled record. Tracked and produced in late 2015, Thieves Like Us
reinvents the band's cosmic song based aesthetic with the introduction of live bass (Thomas Franklin) and drums (Tore Knipping), steering its
songs into more spirited waters. Guitarist Chris Wackrow and his Felt-like guitar overdubs delicately fill out the rhythmic spaces with many a
subtle and sparkling riff. Backing singers Martine Duverglas, Mia Von Matt, and Monika Martinez substantiate Andy Grier's frail and airy vocals
elevating the music to a more adult modern rock sound. The end result is an intricate, accessible pop record and a natural progression of the
band's previous record Bleed Bleed Bleed. While the album does feature upbeat light pop movers like Dani and E-Problems, Thieves Like Us
also holds its share of melancholic, introspective and socio-political tunes (Jennifer, Broken Mirror, Israel). As always, the band cite economic
peril, over-militarization and technology as some of the albums cheerier themes. And again -- maybe Thieves Like Us possess just enough
world perspective to unify us all in dancing to the bad news.

Band:Ant Antic
Album:wealth
Label:Seayou
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
Berlin based producer Tobias Koett and multi instrumentalist Marco Kleebauer, who is also involved in Leyya in Vienna, are Ant
Antic. They released their debut EP Blood Sugar in May 2015 and got their live set as a three-piece down pat, playing club
shows and festivals stages. After hitting the studio, their debut album Wealth will be out in June 2017 via Seayou Records. It
wraps melancholy mood in urgent songs full of hope and cruises among ambient, electronic and contemporary R&B sounds, that
take along some simple distorted licks, hip-hop beats and an impulsive bass line. The video is cold and ace: a digitally
anonymized dancer, moves to their sound in an Upper Austrian tobacco factory.
