CD REVIEW

Listening to a classic rock song performed by an orchestra can be painful listening experience. This proposal has had disastrous results on several occasions. In any slot machine (proliferate rapidly in the music industry) or produced albums by the artists themselves, the results are uneven. On occasion, the themes are explored in a bombastic, grandiloquent to the extreme. Or are mediocre adaptations, arrangements for the orchestra carrying the same basic melody of the vocals, keyboard or guitar without any shred of creativity. Read More »

When Iron Maiden came on the scene New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the late 1970s, it was like a wave of creativity to invade England. The secret of the band was its constant evolution: finding new ways to invest in creativity and music, showing all the fire power and eclecticism of heavy rock.
Skins created by Derek Riggs and the band's mascot, Eddie, was an attraction, especially for the avid consumer in the era of vinyl. One could note the number of small details that were in each illustration, which was lost with the advent of the CD. Read More »

Echoes of the past, this screams 
Ciro Hiruma
What to expect from the new CD of Ozzy Osbourne? After all, the singer apparently left behind after his best CD No More Tears, 1991. His recent compositions showed good, but the creativity was dispersed. The energy contained and dosed away from the massive strength and explosive of the past.
And what to think of his band, completely renovated? Read More »

This is a concept that has always kept him active and in focus: Beck is the band's sound metamorphosis. Read More »

In the late '70s, a musical movement won the pop charts on the planet: the new wave. Besides the direct influence of punk, there was room for many sounds: the British '60s pop, surf music, reggae, rock 'n' roll pioneers of the 50s. A faction in particular was dedicated to electronics to create their sound. Thus arose the techno or synth rock.
The starting point for the German electronic techno music was produced in the '70s by bands like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream.
