David Bowie Brilliant Adventure

Putting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise... David Bowie wasn't one to look back.  But when he announced Black Tie White Noise, many fans collectively breathed a sigh of relief.  Might the "old" David Bowie be returning?  The 1993 album was his first in six years, following three albums (two studio and one live) with his hard rock band, Tin Machine.  It also reunited him with Nile Rodgers, producer of his all-time best-selling album Let's Dance, and with Ziggy Stardust-era

Lancaster and Lumley Peter and the Wolf

Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev wrote Peter and the Wolf in 1936 as "a symphonic fairy tale for children."  As conceived, the narrator tells a story for children in which every character is musically "played" by a different instrument, i.e., the bird is a flute, the duck is an oboe, the cat is a clarinet, the grandfather is a bassoon, the Wolf is French horns, the hunters are woodwinds and trumpets, and Peter is string instruments.  Prokofiev's composition earned the attention of Walt Disney

RSD Drops 2020

As the COVID 19 outbreak continues to impact our lives, it's heartening to know that some things are returning to some semblance of "normal," or as close as we can get to it during this unpredictable impasse.  As we previously reported, Record Store Day has been split into three standalone "RSD Drop" days, occurring on August 29, September 26, and October 24.  That's not the only thing changing this time around.  It's been reported by Georgia-based shop Comeback Vinyl that the organization is

Roxy Music packshot

While Roxy Music essentially broke up at the start of this decade - having performed on and off since 1972 - guitarist Phil Manzanera promised a box set covering the band's first album back in 2014. Now, it's one of the latest reissue announcements in a rapidly-filling 2018 release schedule. UMC will release a 3CD/1DVD version of the British art-rockers' debut on February 2. In addition to the original album (presented as mastered by Bob Ludwig in 1999), two discs of unreleased material will

In a career spanning five decades, Brian Eno has refused to be pigeonholed. The ambient music pioneer and electronic explorer has produced albums for David Bowie, U2 and Paul Simon, played in Roxy Music, collaborated with everyone from Belinda Carlisle to David Byrne, composed film and television soundtracks, and maintained a solo career since 1974. His varied body of work as writer, musician, producer and artist has embraced experimentalism and pushed the limits of conventional rock. Now, four
