This limited edition White W/ Black Splatter 2LP is a must-have for collectors and fans of old-school thrash. Phoenix, AZ thrashers Sacred Reich prove why they are considered a Inchpillar of second-wave American thrashInch.

The music of the English composer Matthew Taylor (b. 1964) manages both to honour tradition and pull out some surprises. Clearly in the tradition that leads from Carl Nielsen through Robert Simpson, the works here observe Nielsen's fondness for dignity of expression, the occasional hint of power tempered by an almost Mendelssohnian lightness of touch - and, here and there, a note of levity the Sixth Symphony, after all, is dedicated to the memory of Sir Malcolm Arnold. The three concertante works are performed here by musicians whose playing Taylor particularly admires.
