Robert Glasper - Black Radio (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) - VINYL LP

Lanie Gardner - InchFaded PolaroidsInch. Named an InchArtist to WatchInch by the RIAA, Lanie Gardner (who has toured with everyone from the Jonas Brothers to Jelly Roll) is turns up the volume with her 18-track album, Faded Polaroids, a genre-blending masterpiece that defines her artistic voice. Overflowing with dynamic energy and emotional depth, the sophomore project, which includes the vibrant grooves of her summer EP, Polaroids, promises a kaleidoscopic journey through sound. Fusing the raw soul of blues, the storytelling heart of country, the grit of rock, and the dreamy pulse of pop, each track has it's own identity - some intimate and raw like InchConcrete Cowboy,Inch others bold and cinematic like InchThe Hill Have Eyes,Inch - with her signature velvet-smooth vocals guiding listeners through themes of longing, resilience, and selfdiscovery. Influences from Fleetwood Mac to Chris Stapleton shimmer throughout the record, layered with unexpected twists and rich sonic textures. 2 LP set on brown vinyl.

Continuity.The piece InchOctoberInch from Tchaikovsky's InchSeasonsInch op. 37 comes from an older recording by Evgeni Koroliov from 1992 (TACET 25). That was the time of the Yugoslav Wars and the collapse of the Soviet Union. I remember that Evgeni Koroliov, who was born in Moscow, spoke during a break in his gentle manner about how this music was for him a reminder of irretrievable times before the Russian revolution. 33 years later, Koroliov speaks as he did then, he has remained true to himself and his playing, the times are just as confused and uncertain. Even the sound is similar. Accordingly, the new recordings on this InchRussianInch CD are permeated by a similar longing for a better world, which never existed as beautifully as in this music. I am happy and grateful to have been able to accompany this quiet and expressive artist, who enriches the music world so lastingly, on TACET for such a long time. This is already his 26th recording on TACET and the second CD this year, the second of three!
