When it comes to Swiss Rock, GOTTHARD are the first that come to mind. After starting 28 years ago in Ticino, the multi-platinum rockers have more than earned their spot amongst the top of the pile. And now, after 16 #1 albums, over three million records sold worldwide and numerous global awards, one would expect Leoni, Lynn, Habegger, Scherer and Maeder to take a little time off. No chance. With more than 2000 live shows all over the world and countless headlining tours under their belts, GOTTHARD show no sign of exhaustion and announce the follow-up for their successful acoustic-album ‘Defrosted 2’. A brand-new album, that proves that this band still have so much Rock’n’Roll left to give. Their 13th studio album is simply titled »#13«, a deliberately understated title for a record that needs no further explanation.

“Passing Stages is the best possible illustration of what DGM are capable of on a stage these days,” says Simone Mularoni. “We put our hearts and souls into the making this one and managed to capture magical nights that we'll remember forever. In our career, Passing Stages will be a milestone in our discography and a great conclusion of the first decade of this line-up. Here’s to the future.” Herein are captured two separate performances for fans to enjoy via audio on CD

Shape of Things to Come is the fifth studio album by American guitarist George Benson, released in 1968 and arranged by Don Sebesky. It was his first album for A&M Records and his first album to be produced by Creed Taylor, who would remain his producer until 1976.

Альбом можно назвать условно-концептуальным. В том смысле, что в нем не рассказывается никакой истории, но имеет место общая тематика его песен - при его написании группа вдохновлялась "Властелином колец" Толкина. Благодаря этому альбом имеет фэнтезийное настроение. Грусти в нем на порядок меньше, чем в предшественнике. Скорее, наоборот появился оптимизм, пока еще не такой, как в "Breathless", но уже хорошо заметный. Только изредка нет-нет, да и проскользнет грустная нотка.Если "Camel '73" тяготел к инструменталам, то этот практически из них состоит, вокал настолько редок, что наличие вокалистов в группе почти забывается, зато альбом радует развернутыми соло на всех возможных инструментах и некоторым количеством звуковых эффектов (например, звуком открывающейся пивной банки и последующего выливания из нее пива).Второй альбом с полным правом можно назвать шедевром. Он не был замечен в год выпуска, но впоследствии его часто называли вершиной творчества Camel. И действительно, такой динамики, гармоничности и вместе с тем цельности редко удается добиться.

Admittedly, this spot was between this new album, and Blossoms’ Foolish Loving Spaces. But the newest album from Gengahr, Sanctuary, eventually won me over thanks to their fusion of indie, rock and electronic, as oppose to Blossoms, who I have always perceived as one of the most fundamentally indie bands out there, which quite frankly bores me.
But enough about Blossoms, and their album that I didn’t review, as today, I review the third album by Hackney band Gengahr.

В 1991 году под руководством продюсера Рэйфа МакКенны (Rafe McKenna, FOREIGNER, Giant, BAD COMPANY) Fair Warning записывают одноименный дебютный альбом, после чего отправляются в турне по Германии вместе с Giant. Почти сразу после возвращения с гастролей группа выпускает еще одну пластинку, на этот раз, правда, миньон ''In The Ghetto''. А в 1993 году выходит первый концертный альбом (а также его видеовариант), но только в Японии, где Fair Warning уже после первого CD стали народными любимцами.
