About this product

XMAL DEUTSCHLAND / GIFT THE 4AD YEARS The extraordinary impact Xmal Deutschland had upon British audiences in the early Eighties is difficult to convey forty years on. A spell was cast by the staccato rhythms, unmediated channels and mysterious (to us) language of their music, and by the vision and strength of the women involved. Their breakthrough support slot with Cocteau Twins and first two albums with 4AD dazzled and dug deep, speaking in tones and temperatures unlike any band before or since. InchAnd at some point, it seemed to people we just... disappearedInch, muses singer Anja Huwe. InchSo this myth of Xmal Deutschland just got bigger and bigger over the years... Inch - Gift, which will fascinate newcomers just as it feeds the faithful, is brimming with presence. And if the word InchgiftInch in German slyly relates to a kind of poison, nobody said this music was all sweetness and light. Even if it's radiance resonates, four decades later. Xmal Deutschland's 4AD years were a bold and bewitching boomerang. The magic's back.

Wishbone Ash - Coat Of Arms - Red   - VINYL LP

Red Vinyl. 2020 . Coat of arms sounds stylistically diverse and technically accomplished, yet the new album is typical of wishbone ash's traditional strengths - a balancing act that is a challenge to powell every time. Wishbone Ash celebrates their 50th anniversary this year. The band released legendary albums like Argus, There's The Rub and Live Dates. The band, still led by original member Andy Powell, was a huge influence for Iron Maiden's bass player Steve Harris. This album is back to the roots and the first one since 2014.

Various - Danse Des Morts   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For the seventieth anniversary of Olivier Greif's birth, B Records and the Deauville Festival invite you to discover his remarkable works, some of which have never been released before. They were composed at dazzling speed, nurtured by Early Music, literature and the composer's obsession with death and mysticism. Two symphonic works are interpreted for us by passionate, young musicians and have been recorded live so that you can experience on album the 'dangers' and delights of reverie, and an archive recording from the Festival de Pâques (Easter Festival) with Olivier Greif himself on the piano.

The Jam - The Gift   - VINYL LP

Limited vinyl LP repressing of this album by the British mod/punk trio. The Gift is the sixth and final studio album by The Jam. It was originally released on 12 March 1982 by Polydor as the follow-up to The Jam's critically and commercially successful 1980 album Sound Affects. The songs were largely recorded during 1981 to 1982, assisted by Peter Wilson, and is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of the band's later work. It was one of the band's most successful studio albums, reaching #1 in the UK. The album moved away from the simple three-chord music of In the City and This Is the Modern World, and the more melodic All Mod Cons, Setting Sons and Sound Affects, to demonstrate Weller's love of northern soul. Funk bass lines and wah-wah guitar effects were often used throughout the album, along with jazz influences such as brass sections and saxophone solos (most notably on the track InchPreciousInch) and InchTrans-Global ExpressInch. The biggest hit off the album was InchTown Called MaliceInch. The song's title riffs on the novel InchA Town Like AliceInch whilst it's lyrics lament disappearing aspects of stereotypical working class life in Margaret Thatcher's Britain. The message is not altogether negative though and the song stands as a potent rallying call to roll with the changes.
