Dune Rats - If It Sucks, Turn It Up - VINYL LP

Vincent Larderet is a Steinway Artist who has given solo recitals at many of the world's premier piano festivals and concert halls. The present marks his debut on Piano Classics. His previous albums have explored the hot-house world of Impressionism and late Romanticism, making the intoxicating world of late Liszt a natural progression. Pieces on the edge of silence and tonality such as Nuages gris and Unstern! Demand at least as much refined nuance of touch and color as the major cycles of Debussy and Ravel which Larderet has often performed in public. In his own booklet introduction, the pianist explains that the aim of the album is to capture the unrivalled rainbow of emotions that span Liszt's protean oeuvre for the piano. His genius in creating the genre of programme music, almost from scratch (with help from Beethoven and Berlioz), is celebrated by the inclusion of the Dante Sonata of 1849, which condenses and transfigures the narrative arc of the entire Divine Comedy within a single 17-minute span. From four years later, the Second Ballade tells a Gothic tale of a night-ride, perhaps also the ancient Greek myth of Hero and Leander in which the hero drowns while attempting to swim across the Hellespont to visit his beloved, with the pianist called upon literally to produce wave upon wave of sound from his instrument in a masterpiece of tone-painting. The Funerailles anticipate the stern and enigmatic utterances of his very late period, condensing his rich harmonies and multi-layered voices to leave an ever-more imposing musical canvas which imbues each single note with significance and the overwhelming presence of mortality. The 'sleepless' vision of Schlaflos! Seems to come from another world; Larderet concludes his unique love-letter to Liszt with en rêve, which paints a more consoling dreamscape.

Deluxe 180-Gram Reissue. Special Gatefold Edition - Including original artwork & credits. The original soundtrack album to the iconic 1968 Stanley Kubrick film by the same name. Known for it's use of many classical and orchestral pieces, it is credited for giving many classical compositions resurgences in popularity. From very early in production, Kubrick decided that he wanted the film to be a primarily nonverbal experience that did not rely on the traditional techniques of narrative cinema, and in which music would play a vital role in evoking particular moods. The film is notable for it's innovative use of classical music taken from existing commercial recordings. In the early stages of production, Kubrick had actually commissioned a scorefor 2001 from Hollywood composer Alex North, but during postproduction, Kubrick chose to abandon North's music in favor of the now-familiar classical pieces. The soundtrack was a commercial success, reaching the 24th spot on the Billboard 200.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2025 . This Movie Sucks is the sequel to Durry's debut album, Suburban Legend. It asks what happens after the movie credits roll, after the band moves out of the garage, after the lifelong dream is achieved... and finds that after Inchhappily ever afterInch just comes real life. Produced by Phil Odom (Say Anything, Code Orange, Turnover), This Movie Sucks takes the nostalgic pop-punk riffs of their earlier work and cranks them up to 11, turning earnest songs about toxic online behavior, crushing minimum wage jobs, processing grief, and taking accountability into fist-pumping sing-along anthems.
