Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live / Tales of the Unexpected / Whats Next - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A collection of early ambient and experimental works from prolific American artist Mkl Anderson (lovesliescrushing, 4K, Bluesanct Records). Album includes 8 tracks recorded between '96-'02, for fans of Current 93, Nurse With Wound, Loscil, Halfer Trio, and Flying Saucer Attack...For over twenty years, Mkl Anderson has curated a vast archive of recorded material for his cinematic ritual ambient industrial project, Drekka. He works with memory not only as a subject but also as a healing process, continually delving into this personal world of sound; examining, revisiting, and repurposing recordings in an attempt to recall a past which sings from the darkness surrounding the tenuous provinces of memory and dreams - the real ghosts of time and sound.InchNo Tracks in the SnowInch is a collection of tracks from the early days of Drekka's history; the third offering for Dais Records and an appendix between the second and third parts of the 'Tarwestraat' trilogy of LPs for the tag.

Digitally remastered edition of this 1982 album from the legendary guitarist. Includes 16 page full-color booklet, new essay about the making of the album, enhanced artwork and previously unseen photos. For the most part, Frank Marino was perceived by the music business, and the majority of his fans, as a red-hot guitar player capable of laying down riffs and solos like they were going out of fashion. However, that overall impression belied his musical depth as a musician with a deep understanding of composition and arrangement. For Frank, despite his reputation for endless soloing, the goal was always about crafting songs that had meaning and weight. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than on the Juggernaut album. Recorded and released in 1982, the record showcases Frank in spectacular form, setting out a stall that solidly welds his penchant for blistering hard rock and memorable songs. The title track alone is arguably his greatest triumph, fusing a rock solid riff with a synthetic dusting of melody. Indeed, it became one of Frank's most successful tracks, nearly nudging him into the upper reaches of the American rock charts. And that song is not alone as there are several equally impressive examples, such as 'Midnight Highway' and the brilliantly evocative 'Stories Of A Hero'. Sadly for Frank, this was the point, after seven albums recording for Columbia Records, at which he and the tag reached a creative impasse, resulting in him leaving the company and vowing never to record for a major tag again. It was certainly a shame as, at long last, it seemed that he'd made a creative breakthrough, pointing him to a whole new level of creativity. Album Tracks 1. Strange Dreams 2. Midnight Highway 3.

Two albums from 1980 and 1982 from Canadian Rock/Metal guitarist Marino. Mahogany Rush had lost original members in 1980, so the act became known just as Frank Marino. Marion retired in 1993, but was back again in 2001 and is still gigging constantly. Album Tracks 1. The Power of Rock and Roll 2. Play My Music 3. Stay with Me 4. Runnin' Wild 5. Crazy Miss Daisy 6.
