Famous Groupies, who have been talked about as super high-level Paul McCartney followers, will release their new album in 2024 and will be their last! This album, announced as "the last album", was written by the late great-grandfather of the McKenzie family, Patrick McKenzie, and most of the songs were written in the early 1970s, most likely between 1969 and 1977.

Alicate was formed in the late eighties by lead vocalist/guitarist Jonas Erixon and bass player Fredrik Ekberg. They released a 7” single called “The End/Too Shy To Take It” which is a collector's piece today. They toured in Sweden and Finland and also supported Ian Gillan on his "Toolbox Tour" in 1992. During the mid-nineties the band was put on neice. Fast forward to 2006, where the Alicate reformed and started to work on new material that resulted in their first full length album called “World Of Anger” (released in 2009). The same year they did a successful appearance at Sweden rock festival.

Dejan Lazic has been making recordings since 1990, but this is his first live album. Recorded at the Menuhin Festival in Gstaad in August 2022. Dejan says of the live recording "certain artistic freedoms which come from the fact that this creative process is unrepeatable are equally unparalleled, one literally senses the immediate response from the audience so one acts and reacts upon that. Because if the intimacy and sheer uniqueness of a piano recital as such, no matter how large the venue is, there also comes into play a different sort of spontaneity, risk taking, and creativity." Viennese Rhapsody features composers who all had very close links with the city, though only Schubert was born there. The span from the 18th to the 20th century embraces works that have both rhapsodic and fantasy-like elements. Dejan features not only as pianist on this album, but as arranger and composer too.

Storace gave a quartet party to his friends. The players were tolerable, not one of them excelled on the instrument he played; but there was a little science among them, which I dare say will be acknowledged when I name them: First violin Haydn, second violin Baron Dittersdorf, violoncello Vanhal, viola Mozart…"

Bruce Springsteen once said he intended to make an album with words like Bob Dylan that sounded like Phil Spector where he sang like Roy Orbison, a nifty summary of many, but not all, of his artistic ambitions and a key to his appeal. Unlike any other singer/songwriters saddled with the appellation of "the new Dylan" in the early '70s, Springsteen never hid how he was raised on '60s AM radio.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's Sonatas with Varied Reprises (comp. 1758-9, publ. 1760) constituted a bold experiment. Spelling out every repeat, Bach applies to each the art of variation. Starting off as a service ("play this and you'll sound as if you're improvising"), the opus ends up a masterclass in variation. Tom Beghin, playing his own beloved clavichord, enacts the role of the keyboardist- composer who repeats himself, while never saying the same thing twice.

A l'approche imminente des soixante-dix printemps, Jean-Louis Aubert continue à tracer sa route sans flancher.Le cyber-troubadour vit dans son siècle, explore le champ de ses certitudes et interrogations. Comme à laccoutumée, beaucoup de matières accumulées ici. Le disque s'appelle PAFINI, allusion, à son envie d'en découdre à nouveau et porte ouverte surtout à de nouvelles salves de chansons qui seront distillées dans un futur proche. Au sein d'un équipage transgénérationnel (Renaud Letang, Eliott Sigg, Bernie Grundman) l'artiste déploie beaucoup d'ingéniosité en matière de subtilités mélodiques et d'arrangements. C'est un disque sociétal, autofictionnel, affranchi, chaleureux dont la musique a quelque chose de familier pour autant sans s'abaisser au moindre lieu commun.
