The Isley Brothers have delighted audiences since the 1950's and are celebrating their eighth decade in show business. Morphing from their roots in gospel and doo-wop through funk, rock and then, finally, into slow-jam R&B, the Isley Brothers remain one of the most fascinating groups of all time. This album contains some of the most life-affirming music ever recorded Ronald Isley's keening yelp offering strength and sensitivity as it's supported by brothers Rudolph and O'Kelly. Our collection picks up their story in 1969. By this time, they had been recording for 12 years for many legendary labels, from RCA, to Atlantic, to Motown. The brothers decided to go it alone on their own tag, T-Neck. The repurposed Isley's broke onto the scene with the US R&B No. 1/Hot 100 No. 2, 'It's Your Thing'. The album of the same name was a Top 30 smash and the group's decision was vindicated. 'It's Your Thing' marked a meeting point of influences Sly Stone, James Brown, gospel and one-time group member Jimi Hendrix, laying the template for the Isley's next decade, from the gritty rock covers of Givin' It Back to the era-defining '3 + 3' (with the formal addition of the two younger Isleys, Ernie and Marvin, plus brother-in-law Chris Jasper). After the 1972 of 'Brother, Brother, Brother' (featuring the classic 'Work To Do') T-Neck moved to CBS leading to their first Platinum-selling album (1973's '3+3'). Produced with Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff, '3+3' was practically prescribed to every soul boy in the UK (witness Wham's cover of 'If You Were There'). For the Isleys to take their old R&B hit, 'Who's That Lady' and turn it into hard-rocking psychedelic soul was a blazing statement of their intent. Their version of Seals and Croft's pretty 'Summer Breeze' became one of their biggest hits, with Ronald and Ernie stamping their authority on the ballad. Gatefold sleeve 2LP 140Gra
Evanescence are returning with 'Synthesis,' their fourth and most ambitious album to date! The album features a reworking of some of Evanescence's best-loved songs recorded with a full orchestra and electronica combined with the band and Amy Lee's virtuoso piano and voice. Evanescence - lead singer-songwriter and pianist Amy Lee, bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, lead guitarist/backing vocalist Troy McLawhorn and guitarist Jen Majura worked with producers Will Hunt and orchestra arranger and composer David Campbell on 'Synthesis' which will also feature two new Evanescence songs, the first of which is entitled InchImperfection. Inch The album includes guest performance by famed violinist Lindsey Stirling on InchHi-LoInch the other new song on the album. InchThis is a total passion project for me. There are so many layers in our music, underneath the huge drums and guitars,Inch explains Amy Lee of Evanescence. InchI've always wanted to shine a light on some of the gorgeous David Campbell arrangements and programming elements in our songs, and that idea snowballed into completely re-doing them with full orchestra, not just strings, elaborate programming and experimentation. This will be our first time touring with orchestra and I'm so excited to perform this way-really focus on the vocals, and the emotion and the story we've built over the years. I'm also really excited about the new material on the album. Besides the two new songs, there are some really beautiful instrumental in-between moments. The whole thing flows like a big, dynamic soundtrack. - Synthesis by Evanescence
