Frank Lozano - Colour Fields [COMPACT DISCS] date 06/21/2011

Vinyl LP pressing. A flashy band in the style of the '80s, John Diva and the Rockets of Love has been blessed with the talent of bringing a breath of fresh air to classic rock music. They are the rightful heirs of an era in which Van Halen, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Scorpions, Guns N' Roses and Mötley Crüe roved around all over the planet and took apart anything they could get their hands on. John Diva is charged US entertainment at it's very best. Equipped visually and musically with all the key ingredients that this form of music entails, John Diva and his Rockets embody smooth riffs, racy guitar solos bordering on supersonic, anthem like choruses and graphic texts filled with the stories of life, not always completely G-rated. Their debut album, Mama Said Rock Is Dead, with tongue-in-cheek humor, tells stories from the life of Rock 'N' Roll James Bond John Diva in full sound. All twelve songs were produced by Michael Voss (Mad Max, Michael Schenker, Tony Carey et al) in the Gizmo 7 Studios in Malaga, Spain, the Principal Studios and the Kidroom Studio in Münster, with Chris von Rohr (Krokus, Gotthard) as creative supervisor.

BarrocoTout makes it's recording debut following a prize-winning performance at the highly respected biennial York Early Music International Young Artists Competition. After a hard-fought competition Philip Hobbs, Chairman of the Judges and Linn's Chief Producer, said InchThe level of musical performance has been exceptional... BarrocoTout are an extraordinary ensemble.Inch Formed at the Royal Conservatoires in Brussels, the ensemble has chosen to champion the music of a hitherto neglected Belgian composer Henri-Jacques de Croes. Treading a path between French, Italian and German influences, de Croes produced music that was courtly yet with enlightenment aspirations. The trio sonatas of Op. 5 were written with a touch of Rococo in mind and a strong Italianate flavour. With only one copy in existence the Six Sonates have hitherto led only a shadowy existence and were regarded as 'lost' for many years. With this recording BarrocoTout aims to quash the myth that 'unknown is unloved'.
