Anne Malin - Summer Angel - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

'Stranger Power!', the fifth record from Durham, NC-based songwriter and poet Anne Malin Ringwalt is being released in conjunction with her second book of poetry 'What Floods' (Inside the Castle, Oct. 2024). The album may recall familiar wanderings of personal underworlds such as Mount Eerie's Lost Wisdom Pt. 2 or Neil Young's Ditch Trilogy. This marks Ringwalt's first time in the role of producer. Violins, vibraphones, drum machines, electric guitars dappled with spring reverb, wind-blown shells, and a host of other numinous sounds form an unfurling and shadowy world which was then carefully honed during the mixing process (shepherded by co-producer Michael Cormier-O'Leary and mix engineer Lucas Knapp) - settling the final record in an eerie meridian between spareness and verdancy.

Fueled by the fine Colombian and an unquenchable thirst for his city's fine women, native son Amos Larkins II helped launch the genre that became known as Miami Bass. His biggest hits, MC ADE's InchBass Rock Express,Inch Double Duce's InchCommin In Fresh,Inch Gucci Crew II's InchGucci Bass,Inch and Import #1's InchSet It Off (Party Rock)Inch have achieved legendary status over the years. Here, the pioneer brings the thump to ten Christmas classics, guaranteed to turn your holiday party on it's head.

The year that NOW's story began, and where we started our 'Yearbook' series back in 2021. An incredible year in Pop music, and a fabulous selection of the years' hits have featured on that first 'Yearbook', and on the '80-84 Final' as part of our appreciation of 1983. Those tracks were generally the bigger hits of the year, with their Chart achievement a factor in their inclusion. However, that's not the whole story, and our celebration of 1983 wouldn't be complete without shining a light on some of the year's singles that have been compiled much less frequently over the past 40 years. Welcome to the THE VAULT for 1983... Some of the tracks were Top 40 hits, some missed the Chart completely, and some were huge in the U.S. and not in the U.K. - but all are part of the wonderful Pop story of 1983. 45 tracks across 3-LPs, pressed on stunning translucent red vinyl - 'NOW Yearbook - The Vault 1983' LP1 includes Synth and Pop gems from established artists Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Blancmange, and Talk Talk, China Crisis, and Adam Ant, plus Electronic club tracks from Yello and Divine, with the first side closing with a live instrumental of 'Canton' from Japan. Flip the LP over for Fun Boy Three, XTC, The Teardrop Explodes, The Stranglers, the Retro-Pop of Tracie and the return of The Kinks, and Mari Wilson's gorgeous cover of 'Cry Me A River' closes the first LP. The second LP opens with a stunning trio of Indie-Pop singles from Bauhaus, Marc And The Mambas, and The Glove - featuring members of both The Cure and Siouxsie And The Banshees. The debut from Freur gives way to US Indie-Pop from The B-52's and Wall Of Voodoo, before a track from Joe Jackson's hit 'Night And Day' album - 'Breaking Us In Two' finishes the side. Kicking off the other side of LP2 is 'Get Down Saturday Night' from Oliver Cheatham, which would be sampled on the 2003 #1 single 'Make Luv' by Ro
