Bells Larsen - Blurring Time - VINYL LP

Treya Quartet - Pelleas Et Melisande [COMPACT DISCS] Digipack Packaging date 04/10/2012

Finally, Nils Frahm's classic album the Bells sees a first vinyl edition in deluxe packaging including an album download code that includes three exclusive bonus tracks. For a musician this early in his career, Frahm displays an incredibly developed sense of control and restraint in his work, catching the ear of many fans including Four Tet and Thom Yorke. As the recognition continues to grow for his previous solo piano works Wintermusik (ERATP 018 CD/LP) and the Bells (ERATP 021 CD), 2011 saw the of his most acclaimed album to date Felt (ERATP 033 CD/LP). in late 2008, Peter Broderick invited Nils to record a new album of piano improvisations - the result is the Bells, which now finally sees a vinyl edition on Erased Tapes. Perhaps the most stunning aspect of what on the surface appears to be an entirely pre-planned and composed body of work comes with the discovery that these pieces were in fact improvised. These two friends share a common affinity in that they both possess an absolute mastery of melody, composition and performance - able to deliver with devastating effect. The modest Mr. Broderick states InchI remember thinking to myself as I lay there stunned, that I could spend ten years trying to write an amazing piece of piano music, and still it would never be half as good as these improvisations!Inch Recorded in a rented, beautiful old church in the heart of Berlin over two nights, Nils Inchjust played,Inch with the occasional instruction from Peter InchI spouted 'make a song using only the notes C, E, and G,' or 'make a song that you could imagine me rapping over the top of'... at one point I was even inside the piano, laying on the strings, asking him to make a song called 'Peter Is Dead in the Piano.'Inch the resultant work the Bells shares the same excitement and air of playfulness.

Orange colored vinyl. Blow by Blow is Jeff Beck's 1975 solo album and considered one of his best releases among fans and colleagues. Former Yardbirds sideman Chris Dreja had predicted in 1965 that Beck's current sound '... was 1975.' In a glowing review on Allmusic, Mark Kirschenmann said that 'Blow by Blow ranks as one of the premiere recordings in the canon of instrumental rock music.' As an all-instrumental album it was a surprising commercial success, with a jazz fusion-like approach seldom seen on best-selling lists at the time. It was certified Gold in 1976. The album was produced by George Martin and recorded at his own AIR studios. Martin also composed string arrangements for two of the tracks, InchScatterbrainInch and InchDiamond DustInch. Stevie Wonder returned the favor of Beck's work on his 1972 LP Talking Book, by playing on InchBlow by BlowInchand contributing the song InchTheloniusInch. As a big admirer of fellow guitarist Roy Buchanan, Beck dedicated the track InchCause We've Ended as LoversInch to him.
