Rudi Berger - New Doors - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With his 7th album Longings the Viennese Jazz violinist Rudi Berger devotes himself to the themes of longing and hope. Completely independent in terms of style and phrasing and devoid of any academic tendencies, a picture is created of an unmistakable violin virtuoso who, like in olden times, writes, and performs his own compositions. Mauro Rodrigues, flute, Peter Madsen, piano, Rosario Bonaccorso, double bass and vocals as well as drummer Lukas Boeck reflect the wide musical field. Using New York jazz jargon, Viennese musical slang, Latin American influences, blues, and reflective, meditative ballads a story about people and their dreams is told

Last Building Burning is the product of eight days with producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room, Boris) in Texas studio Sonic Ranch. Clocking in at just over half an hour, the eight-song album sees Cloud Nothings capture their onstage appeal with help from Dunn, who Dylan Baldi describes as Inchtechnically minded without relying on technology to perfect the live sound.Inch In that, Last Building Burning is a return to Cloud Nothing's sharpest form - the unhinged, feverish, guitar-heavy sound that they explode with onstage - without their early angst. InchIt's not an angry record,Inch says Baldi. InchIt's a very joyous thing for me. And it feels so nice to scream again, especially when you know people in the crowd will be screaming along back at you.Inch

Originally released in 1982, the self titled album InchThe Lords of the New ChurchInch delivers a striking blend of punk energy, rock and roll attitude, and new wave edge. Formed by members of The Damned and Dead Boys, the band developed a sound that is both raw and focused, built on strong riffs and memorable hooks. Tracks like InchOpen Your EyesInch and InchRussian RouletteInch highlight their ability to combine urgency with melody. The album remains a defining of the early 80s, merging styles while maintaining a clear and confident identity.
