6CD Clamshell Boxset in uscita il 3 luglio a 43.90€

FOR FANS OF: DEEP PURPLE, TRAPEZE, HUGHES-THRALL
• Six late 90s/early 2000s solo albums from the "Voice Of Rock".
Glenn Hughes first came to prominence in Trapeze. Following their third album, 'You Are The Music, We're Just The Band', he joined Deep Purple for their 'Burn', 'Stormbringer' and 'Come Taste The Band' albums. Deep Purple split in 1976.The first fruits of Glenn's post Purple career appeared with 'Play Me Out' (also available on Purple Records), issued in July 1977. Glenn would go on to collaborate with Pat Thrall in Hughes-Thrall, Joe Lynn Turner in the Hughes-Turner Project, with Tony Iommi in Black Sabbath, plus pursue a prolific solo career through the 1990s and beyond.
Glenn's fourth solo album, 'Feel', was originally released in 1995, and finds the singer veering towards more pop, soul and funk sounds rather than the hard rock. Former Guns n' Roses and Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum guests, and the album also sees a welcome collaboration with his Hughes-Thrall partner, Pat Thrall.
'Addiction' (1996) was originally released in 1996, and unlike the more soulful pop of 'Feel', it saw the singer returning to a much harder rocking sound. 'The Way It Is' (1999) was produced by Glenn and Michael Scott, as well as featuring original material written with guitarist JJ Marsh.
CD4: 'Return Of The Crystal Karma' (2000), was produced by Glenn and Michael Scott, featuring original material written with guitarist JJ Marsh and keyboard player Hans Zermüehlen, it also includes the track 'Gone', co-written with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi.
CD5: 'Building The Machine' (2001) featured original material written with long-time collaborator and guitarist JJ Marsh, the album also includes a version of the Deep Purple classic, 'Highball Shooter'.
Special guests include guitarist Pat Travers, who duets with Hughes on the Rare Earth cover 'I Just Want To Celebrate', plus Toto's Bobby Kimball and The Cure's Lol Tolhurst appearing on backing vocals.
CD6: 'Songs In The Key Of Rock' mixes his beloved funk with 70s style hard rock. As well as featuring long-time collaborator JJ Marsh on guitar, the album includes guest spots from bassist Billy Sheehan and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith. 'Higher Places (Song for Gonzo)' is a song dedicated to Glenn's dear friend, Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.

SLIFT - FANTASIA

Con un pizzico di ironia intenzionale, il quarto album degli SLIFT si chiama Fantasia. È il loro disco più essenziale e diretto fino ad oggi. È anche il loro album più avvincente, una saga incisiva sul superamento degli sconvolgimenti internazionali raccontata da una band che va dritta al punto, senza sprecare un solo secondo. Le numerose influenze della band sono evidenti: l'album richiama alla mente i Clutch in versione sfrenata, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, lo scrittore sovietico Mikhail Bulgakov, i Pink Floyd e i Sabbath dell'era "Master of Reality". E il ricco intreccio sonoro è valorizzato dal sapiente missaggio di Kurt Ballou (Converge, Cave In, High on Fire). Le canzoni non mancano della complessità o dell'intensità che hanno reso gli SLIFT una stella nascente della musica heavy; hanno semplicemente trovato nuovi modi per intrecciare le complessità del loro passato all'interno di ogni brano offrendo un messaggio affermativo e urgente: insieme, possiamo ancora cambiare i tempi in cui viviamo.

Various Artists: A Strange Light From The East - Eastern Influenced Western Music 1965-72

1965–1972 period saw Western music transformed through the integration of Eastern music and philosophy and raga influences.
• Iconic tracks by The Byrds, The Yardbirds, and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band pioneered the fusion of modal jazz, Indian classical music, and psychedelic rock.
• These experiments laid the foundations for progressive rock, proto-punk, and world music, permanently altering the technical and creative landscape of modern music.
The dawn of the British folk revival broke in 1965 when Bert Jansch's "folk-baroque" finger style revolutionised tradition, providing the early morning light for a burgeoning psychedelic scene which, by 1972 had traveled from folk clubs to the high-concept landscapes of progressive rock, exemplified by the Eastern-tinged sitar-guitar on Yes's 'Siberian Khatru'.
Western artists utilised Eastern forms as a new musical bedrock. The Byrds transitioned from folk-rock into the uncharted territory of 'Eight Miles High', a track widely cited as the first true U.S. "Raga Rock" single. Driven by Roger McGuinn's solos - inspired by Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane - it proved pop could embrace complex modal structures. Similarly, The Yardbirds' Jeff Beck used high-fuzz pedals to mimic a sitar's drone on 'Heart Full Of Soul'.
As the daylight intensified, ambitious excursions pushed genre limits. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band bridged the gap between traditional forms and the jam-band aesthetic with 'East West', a masterpiece of modal jazz and Indian classical music. Kaleidoscope's 'Egyptian Gardens' remains one of the most authentic examples of the trend, blending Middle Eastern scales into world-music fusion. Even the driving rhythms of Shocking Blue's 'Love Buzz' showed how the raga sound was integrated into emerging hard rock.
This "strange light" provided the blueprint for the complex musical architecture that followed. The technical rigours of progressive rock grew directly from these experiments; Jimmy Page's DADGAD tuning on 'White Summer' became a Led Zeppelin staple. The influence even reached into the shadows, as The Stooges traded garage-rock for the ritualistic intensity of 'We Will Fall'. From the "space-age" pop of The Riot Squad to the "Indo-Afro" experiments of The 40 Watt Banana, this era of cross-pollination forever altered the horizons of Western musicians.
