Dosage - Empties - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It's been 3 years since the Funki one last graced US with a full length record. His latest effort the Ultimately Empty Million Pounds still has that S*x and humorous quality that made He'd Phone S*x and Love, Pussycats and Car wrecks instant hits. With huge break-beats, horn sections from swingin' jazz orchestras, drum battles reminiscent of when Krupa was reefer addict and cameos from Bob Barker and the cast of Bonanza.

Two CD set. Three critically-acclaimed albums from Southern rockers Hydra. The first two date from 1974 and 1975, originally on Capricorn Records, whilst Rock The World is from 1977. Lack of commercial success caused the band to fold in the late '70s, but their legacy as the first heavy Southern rock band lives on.

Jacqueline du Pré was recognized during her brief prime as one of the supreme cellists of the 20th century, with an intense commitment and a well-honed technical mastery to back up her heaven-sent talents. She seemed to inhabit every piece she played and the public responded joyfully to her interpretations of such concertos as the Elgar and the Schumann, as well as the sonatas of Beethoven, Brahms, Franck et al. She was also at the centre of an extraordinary group of young friends who set the classical musical agenda for the 1960s. The way her career was snatched away from her by a remorseless illness, leading to her early death, has inevitably cast a romantic glow over her life story. So it is salutary to visit or revisit this treasury of her recordings - almost all of them painstakingly remastered from the original tapes, and including previously unissued performances - and remind ourselves just how great she was.
