Silent Tiger is the next exciting chapter in the musical journey for MRR’s own Jean Funes, founding member and guitarist of Sound Of Eternity and Hearts On Fire. With HOF vocalist Richard Andermyr working on new Rian material this year, Jean asked to be put to work and who better to work with than another stalwart of MRR, vocalist David Cagle. Together, along with master drummer Joel Mejia (Hearts On Fire), the trio forms Silent Tiger.
Jean Funes comments: “It has been a pleasure working with David on this album. He adds that amazing and powerful soulful voice and takes every song to another level. We’ve been working for months on the songs and its wonderful how the songs have developed naturally and have taken life on their own. This album is going to have the right edge to it, but at the same time plenty of melody and uplifting songs. You will hear elements of Def Leppard, Van Halen, Dokken, Mötley Crüe, Europe and more, because every one of these bands are a big influence to us, but I think Silent Tiger is very original with its approach to rock music.”

Leeds 6-piece frog-rock groovers Shaku have self released their debut album Maku, as the album is a divine representation of their creativity and musicianship which shines through even more so in their stellar live performances.
The group have a fantastic genre-fluid identity that sees them slip down the cracks between Canterbury scene prog, classic blues, funk-rock, UK jazz and epic old school rock. Having interviewed them back in May 2019, the band were ready back then to record after two years of relentless gigging, warfare, bloodshed and liquid consumption, and they did so live at The Nave Studios, Pudsey, and also in a living room in Burley. The theme of the album is a timeline of Shaku, covering a lot of musical and lyrical ground that each represent a different period in the band which has evolved over time, both together as a group and as individuals.

Shakra is a Swiss hard rock band founded in the late 1990s.

Italy has always been a prime center for music, from the days of classical all the up to the modern day. SECRET ALLIANCE confirms my opinion with their outer cosmic Progressive Hard Rock album “Solar Warden”. SECRET ALLIANCE was founded by guitarist Gianluca Galli (SILVER HORSES & MANTRA) initially as his solo project, but found he was wanting to create music with some extra complexity involved. He recruited the incredible Ricardo Confessori (ex-ANGRA) and fantastic hard rock bassist Tony Franklin to round out the constant members in every song. There are many guest musicians on this futuristic/sci-fi inspired album including Frank Gambale (CHICK COREA BAND) and Alex Masi. These great musicians create a futuristic world in sound.

Gregg Olson and Scarlet Hollow have returned with what may well be the band’s best work to date.
Nick Katona, Melodic Revolution Records:
“I can still remember vividly receiving the phone about Gregg having a stroke, I was devastated, we had just made plans for Scarlet Hollow’s debut release and the band was rehearsing for their first tour. The prognosis that night was not very positive, it was grim in fact, but we kept close tabs on Gregg’s health, it wasn’t so much that we were worried about album sales. We were worried about a person that had become a friend, I first met Gregg on MySpace in 2006 and Melodic Revolution picked up the self-titled Echoes Landing for release. It’s because of this band that we formed the record label.
The good news is that over the next couple of years Gregg’s was getting better and his recovery seemed like a miracle. Fast track to today Scarlet Hollow has returned stronger, more focused and sounding better than ever. Get ready to take a musical journey with one of the most important bands today.”

Робе́рто Дзане́тти - итальянский певец, композитор и автор текстов. Как музыкант более известен под псевдонимом Savage, как продюсер — Robyx. Характерный представитель итало-диско 1980-х годов.

Альбом неизданных демо-версий и песен Savage “Before - 1983-1986 Demo Collection”, 2020, Fantasy Factory Records. Limited Edition, 300 копий, официальное издание.

Secret Service ist eine schwedische Pop/New-Wave-Band der 1980er Jahre, die ihre größten Erfolge zwischen 1979 und 1982 hatte. In dieser Zeit platzierten sich sieben Singles in den europäischen Charts, darunter die bekanntesten Lieder der Gruppe Oh Susie, Ten O’Clock Postman und Ye-si-ca. Vier Jahre später gelang mit When the Night Closes In ein letzter Single-Hit in Deutschland.

"System F" - сольный проект известного в мире диск-жокея, продюсера и композитора из Нидерландов Ферри Корстена (Ferry Corsten). Альбом был выпущен в феврале 1999 года и является дебютным в творчестве Ферри для "System F". В 2010 году, силами музыканта, "Out Of The Blue" был подвергнут цифровому ремастерингу и переиздан уже на двух cd (добавлен Bonus Disc с ремиксами). Получилось очень здорово. Однако, есть одно неприятное "но": "стараниями" лейблов TME/Open Gate Records было немного подпорчено сведение треков с первого диска (Original Album). Пусть это останется на их совести. Я же предлагаю оценить качество нового звучания и "по полной" насладиться trance - музыкой 1999 года, такой, какой она была одиннадцать лет назад. Ностальгия.

"When I Look Into Your Eyes" - сингл, который сделал певицу Samira знаменитой и очень популярной в середине 90х годов прошлого века. "Засветившись" первоначально своим вокалом в супер-треке "Getaway" euro-house - проекта MAXX, песенка "When I Look..". мгновенно делает Самиру звездой дансе-сцены своего времени. И не смотря на то, что прошло уже более шестнадцати лет, энергичная и красивая, эта мелодия, вкупе с очаровательным вокалом певицы, и по сей день остаётся горячо любимой многими слушателями, чья юность пришлась на благодатные танцевальные 90е годы. Сразу вспоминаются весёлые когда-то дискотеки в местных клубах, где мы отплясывали под звуки подобных композиций ночи на пролёт. Ностальгия.
