Вышедший вскоре после успешного альбома Alive!, Destroyer легко стал наиболее претенциозным студийным альбомом Kiss 1970-х. Боб Эзрин, который ранее работал с Элисом Купером, был приглашён продюсировать альбом. В процессе организации записи именно Эзрин предложил группе задействовать различные звуковые эффекты, струнную секцию, детский хор, инвертированные ударные и тд.

White Faced Lady was their last album, recorded in 1971 partly with the help of Mike Pinder, from The Moody Blues. The album was a conceptual double-album with many orchestral arrangements. The band had a deal with Vertigo at that time, but the responsible quit Vertigo and moved to CBS. So they were to release it on CBS, but CBS refused to release their album and it stayed shelved for twenty years, being released in 1991 by a label they created just to release the album, Kaleidoscope Records, under the name of Kaleidoscope, although recorded under the FAIRFIELD PARLOUR encarnation of the band. The band split in 1972 due to the lack of results and luck (they were offered less than 20 dollars to play the last gigs). So this was the end of this great psychedelic and progressive rock band which had talent to be one of the major progressive rock acts of their age but died prematurely due to bad luck in the crucial moments. It is highly recommended because they were one of the first progressive rock bands that evoluted with the genre and made a fantastic work, mainly their excellent conceptual album 'White Faced Lady'.

The Zombies EP Collection, from the See for Miles label, contains the British Invasion bands biggest hits from 1964 through 1966, including "Tell Her No," "Time of the Season," and, in both mono and stereo, "She's Not There." While this collection does an effective job chronicling the hits, Big Beat's 2000 release The Singles Collection: A's & B's, 1964-1969 is superior as it goes further into their catalog and contains "Care of Cell 44," "Beechwood Park," "Friends of Mine," and "Maybe After He's Gone" taken from their 1968 masterpiece Odessey and Oracle.

This isn’t the first time the Zombies have looped themselves back into the conversation on contemporary music. It’s not even the first time this decade. The English rock band’s new album, Still Got That Hunger, follows 2011’s Breathe Out, Breathe In, a quietly nostalgic piece that marked the band’s fourth record since originally breaking up in the late ‘60s. Still Got That Hunger is their fourth effort since the now-classic Odyssey and Oracle, the album that spawned the US smash hit “Time of the Season” seemingly by accident.

Linea Aspera and Schwefelgelb were 2 of the most interesting electronic acts to emerge during the last years before they called it quits. Linea Aspera, that played a mix of synthpop and darkwave, with very strong lyrics, was just on the verge of a bigger break when they split up. Schwefelgelb on the other hand had a more punkish attityde, mixed with elements of NDW and EBM. Zoè Zanias and Sid Lamar were vocalists in each of these bands and about 2 years ago decided to start Keluar in Germany.

В 2012 году, к 40-летию альбома Machine Head группы Deep Purple были выпущенны юбилейное 5-ти дисковое издание Machine Head и данный трибьют альбом (приложение к журналу Classic Rock Magazine).

Hed Kandi is back with its annual summer soundtrack, Hed Kandi Ibiza. 3 mixes capturing everything that makes Ibiza the ultimate destination for music lovers and party goers alike.

Sticks and Stones (stylized as Sticks + Stones for its European release and Sticks & Stones for its North American and Australian release) is the debut studio album by English recording artist Cher Lloyd. It was released on 7 November 2011 through Syco Records. Sticks and Stones is Lloyd's first official release since finishing fourth on the UK version of The X Factor a year prior. Lloyd worked with various producers and songwriters for her first full-length release, including The Runners, Kevin Rudolf and Savan Kotecha, among others. Lloyd co-wrote five songs on the tracklisiting. Lloyd herself called the album a "jukebox."

Vanessa Carlton is one of the most tragically underappreciated singer-songwriters of the early 21st century. We have all heard her early aughts mega hit “A Thousand Miles” while shopping for toothpaste at the grocery store, or while waiting in doctor’s offices, but her post “A Thousand Miles” output has not reached nearly as many people as it deserves to. While her debut album Be Not Nobody is a perfectly pleasant, if grammatically confusing, piece of pop music, her sophomore follow up Harmonium showed Carlton really finding her own sound and embracing her gifts as a songwriter. Vanessa Carlton’s already released a lauded EP this summer, but debut of her fifth full-length, Liberman, will make 2015 one of her most productive years yet. Streaming below for the first time, Liberman finds Carlton looking back — and she does so over a gorgeous mess of synths and reverb-drenched acoustics. “We really wanted to spiral it out, to have it feel like a dream,”

"Some Kind of Dream" captures the exquisite fleeting moments between sleep and wakefulness - the midnight borderland of a lover's whisper and star-shot skies. The melting ballad and title track sets the tone for the 3rd album from singer / songwriter Penelope Sai, who has joined once again with Sean Mackenzie (piano), Jonathan Zwartz (bass) and Nic Cecire (drums), and the much acclaimed American artist Scotty Barnhart on horns. The 12 tracks include 7 stunning original compositions and 5 jazz standards. From the smooth cascades of Melt Away to the playful lines of Ave Guynemer this lush album curls up and unfurls with a delicious sway and verve.

Recorded in five studios in Nashville and nearby Franklin, Tennessee, The New Cool is something of a follow-up to Nathan East's self-titled 2014 album, though it's billed to the bassist and his fellow Fourplay member, Bob James. Like Nathan East, The New Cool is a Yamaha release. The label wing of the manufacturer also supplied the duo with instruments and enabled them to make this predominantly acoustic set of eight originals and three interpretations. Drummer Scott Williamson, percussionist Rafael Padilla, and an orchestra - with David Davidson as concertmaster - are all involved, yet they're employed sparingly and leave the spotlight to East and James. The album sounds like it was easy and fun to make - one can sense joy and deep focus in the interplay - as the material is predominantly amiable and laid-back. It's almost entirely instrumental, with East adding some occasional soft scatting, while Vince Gill drops by for the lone "proper" vocal inclusion on an elegant recasting of Willie Nelson's "Crazy."

Doe Paoro represents so much that is right about current female musicianship. Following her critically acclaimed 2012 debut album, the New York songstress is back with a much more developed and accessible offering that is keen to knock some doors down and be noticed. Getting its official release 25 September for ANTI- Records, After is both an epic and intimate album from formerly New York, now LA-based songwriter Doe Paoro. And working with the likes of Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and Sean Carey, along with Chicago duo Supreme Cuts and Sterling Fox (Lana Del Rey), it's not hard to see why the LP traverses a broad spectrum of sounds. From melancholic, introspective electronica and sultry, groove-laden R&B to synth-pop and indie-electronic, After is a strunning release from start to finish.
