Schtiel («Штиль») - песня, записанная вокалистом и гитаристом группы Rammstein на вечеринке «Харлей» в Москве. Является кавер-версией песни «Штиль» группы «Ария». Сингл был выпущен в 2003 году в честь 100 летия Harley-Davidson. Поскольку данная запись не была согласована с рекорд-лейблом Universal Records, диск был опубликован как «сольный проект» Тилля Линдеманна и Рихарда Круспе. Однако музыканты всё равно получили выговор от своего лейбла. В результате сингл был причислен к пиратским и запрещён к массовому изданию.

Polish prog act Riverside have been around since 2003 and have released six records and several EPs. Atmospheric, dynamic and melancholic are perfect words in describing their newest release Love, Fear and the Time Machine . It's quite similar to their first album, only with a more mature sound, stronger techninal complexity and a wider range of studio techniques and instruments.

While Jaga Jazzist's sonic explorations can certainly be termed as jazz, they're about as far away from Miles Davis be-bop as it's possible to be, and to label them as merely 'jazz' would be to do them a disservice. There are elements of post-rock, electronica and prog peppering the five tracks that make up 'Starfire', and they all contribute to an album which provides you with something exciting and new each and every listen. 'Starfire' is unmistakeably Jaga Jazzist – many of the riffs still sound like the theme tune to a 1980s Eastern European quiz show – but there are definitely signs of growth. Burbling electronic basslines give a bit of meat to some of the arrangements, which is unexpected and welcome. However, the biggest revelation is the epic 'Oban', where sweeping strings and breathy saxophone give a previously unseen human quality to this most studious of bands.

Jessi Teich is a one woman Mardi Gras! She’s a vibrant, victorious celebration and her soon-to-be-released album, Twisted Soul, will take you to the exotic locales of her own blossoming soul. Jessi calls Twisted Soul "a crossover record with a jazz spinal cord," with a sequenced "operatic" story arc of cathartic metamorphosis - overcoming tragedy through change and growth.
