If you’re an old school heavy metal fan and the name Lethal X rings familiar, then it has served its purpose. Lethal X consists of two original members of Racer X with vocalist Jeff Martin (Badlands, Surgical Steel, Michael Schenker Group) and drummer Harry Gschosser. The band lineup is rounded out with bassist Mike Szuter and guitarist Milan Polak. Paul Gilbert (Racer X, Mr. Big) and Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Sons Of Apollo, Talas) both guest on the album.
Lethal X’s debut album “90 Tons of Thunder” carries a healthy dose of nostalgia, as is also evident by the presence of the “Street Lethal” cover in the rear view mirror of the speeding vehicle in the “90 tons” cover art.
However, this nostalgia doesn’t translate in the band trying to sound retro. Old school heavy metal is what you get, but it is approached with fresh energy and modern production…

The third in a series of Charlie Haden duet projects for Verve in the 1990s finds the increasingly nostalgia-minded bass player working New York City's Iridium jazz club with pianist Kenny Barron. Moreover, it is entirely possible that we are getting a skewed view of the gig; according to Haden, he and his co-producer wife Ruth tilted this album heavily in the direction of romantic ballads, eliminating the bebop and avant-garde numbers that the two may have also played at the club. Be that as it may, this is still a thoughtful, intensely musical, sometimes haunting set of performances, with Barron displaying a high level of lyrical sensitivity and Haden applying his massive tone sparingly. Most of the seven tracks are fantasias on well-known standards, although one of the most eloquent performances on the disc is Barron's playing on his own "Twilight Song"…

Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of Strange Worlds - A Collection 1980-2010, a clamshell box comprising every solo album by Barclay James Harvest founder Woolly Wolstenholme and his band Maestoso. Described by BJH guitarist John Lees - as "the soul of Barclay James Harvest", Woolly departed BJH in June 1979 to plough his own musical furrow.
