Back in the early '70s, television was an integral tool for exposure of musical artists into the home. Completely decked out with his touring light show and stage setup in The Mothers' private rehearsal hall, Frank Zappa attempted to commit to videotape material for his own TV production, ultimately with the intention to shop to major networks. Unfortunately, there were technical issues that ultimately contributed to the footage being shelved and stored in the Vault.<br/> <br/>50 years later, with the advancements in post-production editorial tools, we present Cheaper Than Cheep. This never-before-heard-or-seen 2-hour concert program reveals the most intimate performance ever captured from the 1974 Mothers line-up, direct from the lovingly resurrected and restored original vault audio and videotape masters. <br/> <br/> <br/>Official Zappa release #130's stand-alone soundtrack configuration comes as 3-LPs on 180-gram black vinyl accompanied by an extensive booklet with rare, unseen images and liner notes from Ruth Underwood and Joe Travers.<br/> <br/>In 1974, Zappa recorded a TV concert movie in his private rehearsal hall, but there were tech issues that caused the video to be shelved in the Vault for 50 years.<br/> <br/>Now with advanced post-production, we present Cheaper Than Cheep revealing the newly restored original vault audio masters. <br/> <br/>This stand-alone soundtrack configuration comes as 3-LP 180-gram black vinyl accompanied by an extensive booklet with rare, unseen images and liner notes from Ruth Underwood and Joe Travers.

The Agony Flame är bandets nionde studioalbum och blir uppföljare till plattan "Falling From Fame" från augusti 2021.<br/>Det nya albumet är mer dynamiskt än föregångaren som vid en jämförelse känns lite plattare i soundet. Ambitionen var att mejsla fram ett mäktigt sound där man samtidigt kan urskilja alla detaljer.<br/><br/>Takidas sound är, som med de flesta grupper, en blandning av medlemmarnas individuella influenser. Samtliga medlemmar har sina främsta rötter i 80-talet. Robert Pettersson bottnar i pop och husguden var när det begav sig Michael Jackson. Gitarristen Tomas Wallins husgudar finns i tysk 80-talsmetal som Running Wild, Accept och Helloween. Gitarristen Mattias Larsson är inne på textbaserade visor och rock som Lars Winnerbäck och Bruce Springsteen. Trummisen Kristoffer "Krille" Söderström har rötterna i grunge och multiinstrumentalisten Chris Rehn bidrar med de pampiga syntarna men står även för en del av metal-inslagen, inspirerad av den typ av klassiskt-möter-metal som kan hittas hos exempelvis Nightwish och Within Temptation.
