Legacy RSD

Is it just us, or has Record Store Day felt a little muted in recent years? Obviously the annual Black Friday celebration boasts less titles than the festivities held every April, but it's sometimes been a struggle to identify great archival titles or worthy re-pressed discs. Well, that certainly isn't the case this year: labels seem to have gone into overdrive stockpiling interesting LPs and singles worth a second (or first!) look - and one of the strongest showings might be Sony Music's Legacy

Townshend Live box

A long out-of-print trove of Pete Townshend live shows is coming back into print in one deluxe box set.

For this set, available as a 14CD set or a digital product,

The Orb and David Gilmour Metallic Spheres in Colour

Much has been made lately of Artificial Intelligence (AI), from the new "machine learning" program that made The Beatles' "Now and Then" and further stereo remixes of mono material possible, to the more eyebrow-raising applications proliferating around the media landscape.  Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and UK electronic group The Orb recently released Metallic Spheres in Colour, a reimaging of their 2010 ambient collaboration Metallic Spheres.  Producer Youth commented, "The idea for Metallic

Pulse packshot

Two exciting Pink Floyd stories have cropped up for fans of all of their eras: a standalone release of their restored Pulse Blu-ray for 2022, and a dozen unheard live shows from 1971 available to hear now. Pulse, originally released in 1995, chronicled the British band's Division Bell Tour of Europe the previous year. While the album was culled from multiple performances, the accompanying video release was taken from a performance at Earls Court in London on October 20, 1994. There, Pink

Hackers 25

Audiences and critics may not have fully understood Hackers when it was released exactly 25 years ago - but the cyber-cult classic continues to be a touchpoint in the public's early understanding of the nascent Internet. Next week, its original soundtrack is being expanded for its anniversary, complete with some surprising cameos from a classic rock legend. The film followed a group of young, elite, underground programmers who accidentally stumble upon a computer virus-assisted plot to

Unicorn Slow Dancing

Unicorn went through a number of names before the band settled on that mystical creature: The Senders, The Pink Bear, The Late Edition, The Late, and just plain Late.  The band wasn't late at all - rather, they were right on time in combining their influences into a striking sound of their own.  They'd started as a beat group and put those skills to use backing Billy J. Kramer; then, the discovery of the Southern California sounds of CSN became a major influence.  Unicorn blended CSN-style

Unicorn Laughing Up Your Sleeve OV 302 1

The '70s folk-rock group Unicorn released three albums for EMI during the decade. The recordings were produced by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and highlighted the band's talent for laid-back folk-rock. Their smooth, Eagles-like sound, Crosby & Nash-esque harmonies, and slick, professional production value could have won them critical acclaim, but history has largely forgotten their lush original material. (Cherry Red's Esoteric imprint has recently taken a look at their core discography.)

Unicorn Too Many Crooks

What would it have sounded like if Pink Floyd's David Gilmour had produced the Eagles?  One possible answer comes via his work with the British band Unicorn.  Despite the patronage of the psychedelic rocker, Unicorn took many of its cues from the American West Coast.  Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint is remastering and expanding two albums from Unicorn, 1976's Too Many Crooks, and 1977's One More Tomorrow.  Both titles are due this Friday, March 31, in the United Kingdom, and one week
