Plant Robert/Alison Krauss: Raise the roof -21 [Digipack / CD]

Brides Of The Black Room: Blood and fire [Gatefold / Vinyl LP]

På sitt sjätte album "The Future Bites" levererar Steven Wilson som vanligt intelligenta betraktelser av världen runt oss - vem styr egentligen? Människan, eller tekniken vi skapat? När allt rör sig snabbare och allt sker online, vem har handen på nödbromsen? Steven Wilson som startade sin karriär som frontman i Porcupine Tree guidar oss igenom sin dystopiska värld. Som vanligt rör vi oss i gränslandet mellan progg och rock och allt kryddas med electronica och kläs i vissa fall av till rena akustiska partier.

Lindsey Buckingham is his first solo release since 2011's Seeds We Sow. As with the seven studio and three live albums he has released as a solo artist beginning with 1981's Law and Order, the new project showcases Buckingham's instinct for melody and his singular fingerpicking guitar style, reaffirming his status as one of the most inventive and electrifying musicians of his generation. Written, produced and recorded by Buckingham at his home studio in Los Angeles, CA<br/><br/>The new album is a welcome display of Buckingham's instantly recognizable guitar work and vocal layering, particularly on songs such as "Power Down," "Scream" and "Swan Song." Elsewhere, Buckingham pays homage to '60s folk group the Pozo-Seco Singers' hit single "Time," a song he's admired since he was as a teenager and has long intended to cover. "I wanted to make a pop album, but I also wanted to make stops along the way with songs that resemble art more than pop," he says. "As you age, hopefully you keep getting a little more grounded in the craft of what you're doing. For me, getting older has probably helped to reinforce the innocence and the idealism that hopefully was always there."<br/><br/>Over the last four decades, Buckingham has developed a radical sense of experimentation and an unrivaled savvy as a producer. He first honed these skills as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer and the musical visionary of Fleetwood Mac, for which he wrote and produced several Top Ten hits, including "Go Your Own Way," "Tusk" and "Big Love." Under Buckingham's direction, Fleetwood Mac became one of the best-selling and most beloved rock groups of all time. As a solo artist, Buckingham often plays nearly every instrument himself; his complex arrangements and inventive production choices make his solo work thrilling to experience. Earlier this year, he appeared on "Caution," the newest single from the Killers. He remains a highly sought-after collaborator, a maverick and a visionary.

Limited green vinyl. One of the most imaginative and abrasive sounds of the time.
