LOU REED: ROCK AND ROLL HEART [DEU 1992] CD/RE LOU REED: ROCK AND ROLL HEART [DEU 1992] CD/RE (Arista - BMG)  1992  made in Germany cat. num.  262 271 #rock   1 I Believe In Love 2:42 2 Banging On My Drum 2:09 3 Follow The Leader 2:09 4 You Wear It So Well 4:47 5 Ladies Pay 4:17 6 Rock And Roll Heart 3:02 7 Chooser And The Chosen One 2:44 8 Senselessly Cruel 2:04 9 Claim To Fame 2:48 10 Vicious Circle 2:52 11 A Sheltered Life 2:17 12 Temporary Thing 5:12   Rock and Roll Heart  was  Lou Reed 's first album for Arista Records, and one senses that he wanted to come up with something saleable for his new sponsors. Uptempo numbers with pop hooks dominate the set, the 12 songs zip by in an efficient 38 minutes, and instead of  Reed 's trademark meditations on the dark side of life, the lyrics are (for the most part) lean bursts of verse and chorus, in which the artist sings the praises of good times in general and rock & roll in particular (then again, on "I Believe in Love,"  Reed  pledges his allegiance to both "good time music" and "the iron cross," a bit of perversity to remind us whose album this is). But if  Rock and Roll Heart  sounds like " Lou Reed  Lite," there are more than a few flashes of  Reed 's inarguable talent. His band is in fine form (especially  Marty Fogel  on sax and  Michael Fonfara  on keyboards). "Banging on My Drum" is a crunchy rocker that recalls his work with  the Velvet Underground; "A Sheltered Life" is an amusing bit of  VU  archeology (the Velvets demoed the song, but this marked its first appearance on record); and the closer, "Temporary Thing," is a bitter, haunting narrative that foreshadows  Reed 's next album, the harrowing masterpiece  Street Hassle.

KIKII D'AKI Breve Encuentro (LP+CD). vinilo indie rock pop vainica doble KIKII D'AKI Breve Encuentro (LP+CD). vinilo indie rock pop vainica doble El nuevo disco de Kikí d’Akí, primero en diez años, es un breve, íntimo e intenso encuentro con el repertorio de Vainica Doble, Bernardo Bonezzi, Fórmula V, Carlos Berlanga, Françoise Hardy, France Gall y Charlie Mysterio. Canciones y personajes efímeros, como miradas en un andén, que llegaron para quedarse. Estas once interpretaciones arrebatadoras en su cercanía suponen el regreso de una de las voces más personales de la música pop española, ausente desde hacía demasiado tiempo. Incluye CD. Breve encuentro es el nuevo disco de Kikí d’Akí, diez años después de No mires atrás. Este esperado regreso se fue gestando a lo largo de varias fiestas y homenajes de estos últimos años en los que María José (Jose) Serrano (cantante de Las Chinas a principios de los años 80) y Sergio López de Haro fueron invitados a participar. Las canciones incluidas pertenecen a diferentes épocas y autores, pero todas ellas resultan afines a su espíritu y en ellas se reflejan, devolviéndoles algo suyo en este encuentro. Casi sin querer, estos temas solicitaron tomar forma conjunta. Para lograrlo, Jose y Sergio optaron por una formación escueta compuesta tan solo por voz y guitarra, con la puntual aportación de algunos amigos en las voces. Para la producción y masterización contaron con Ramón Leal, que plasmó ese sonido íntimo y sencillo que buscaban. El resultado son once interpretaciones arrebatadoras en su cercanía de canciones del repertorio de Vainica Doble, Bernardo Bonezzi, Fórmula V, Carlos Berlanga, Françoise Hardy, France Gall and Charlie Mysterio. Suponen el regreso de una de las voces más personales de la música pop española, ausente desde hacía demasiado tiempo.     ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆   Combinamos gastos de envío si compras varios artículos, visita nuestra tienda.   ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆   We combine shipping costs if you buy other items, visit our store.   ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆   Si tienes algún problema con alguno de nuestros artículos o con tu compra, por favor ponte en contacto con nosotros antes de emitir un voto negativo.

LITTLE RIVER BAND: TIME EXPOSURE [DEU 1981] LP LITTLE RIVER BAND: TIME EXPOSURE [DEU 1981] LP Little River Band   "Time Exposure"  LP (Capitol - Emi)  1981  made in Germany cat. num.  10C 064-400 042 #rock     The Night Owls   Man On Your Mind   Take It Easy On Me   Ballerina   Love Will Survive   Full Circle   Just Say That You Love Me   Suicide Boulevard   Orbit Zero   Don't Let The Needle Win   Guiding Light   When  Little River Band  formed in 1975, Australia immediately took notice. The key bandmembers were already well known to Australians. Lead singer  Glenn Shorrock  had made his name in mid-'60s group  the Twilights, a  Beatles -sounding pop group that scored a national number one record with its version of  the Velvelettes ' "Needle in a Haystack." When the group broke up in 1969,  Shorrock  became lead singer of  Axiom, whose "A Little Ray of Sunshine" is still an Australian classic rock staple.  LRB 's  Beeb Birtles  had been the bass player for a popular  Twilights -era pop group called  Zoot  (Rick Springfield was a later member). When that group broke up, in search of musical credibility,  Birtles  auditioned as the bass player, but was instantly elevated to a front-line position alongside  Graham Goble. Even  LRB 's manager was well-known.  Glenn Wheatley  had been the bassist with another of Australia's bands, and possibly its most legendary,  the Masters Apprentices. Given all that background, when  Shorrock  and  Birtles  revealed they were forming a group with  Goble, managed by  Wheatley, it was major event in Australian music.

CHICAGO: HOT STREETS [CBS - ESP 1990] LP CHICAGO: HOT STREETS [CBS - ESP 1990] LP Chicago   "Hot Streets"  LP (CBS)  1990  made in Spain cat. num.  LSP 982369 1 #pop rock   Alive Again 4:17 The Greatest Love On Earth 3:43 Little Miss Lovin' 4:32 Hot Streets 5:12 Take A Chance 4:35 Gone Long Gone 3:55 Ain't It Time 4:08 Love Was New 3:32 No Tell Lover 4:15 Show Me The Way 3:18   Although  Chicago  tragically marked its decade anniversary with the bitter loss of lead guitarist  Terry Kath,  Hot Streets  (1978) was not only the first release without him, it was also the band's initial offering away from  James William Guercio  -- with whom the group had worked on every one of its previous dozen long-players.  Donnie Dacus  (guitar/vocals) was brought in to fill  Kath 's formidable shoes. His maiden voyage would likewise mark the beginning of a downward spiral in terms of the string of hits that was usually associated with  Chicago  albums. Both the upbeat and pumping opener "Alive Again" and the typical adult contemporary balladry of "No Tell Lover" became their last Top 40 hits for nearly four years.  Phil Ramone 's production gives the material an added and noticeable bite. The  Peter Cetera  (bass/vocals) rocker "Little Miss Lovin" recalls the band's earliest sides by blending an aggressive backbeat with a funky and soulful rhythm. "Gone, Long, Gone," the disc's other  Cetera contribution, also stands out for  Dacus ' spot-on slide guitar intonation, which mimics a similar style used most notably by  George Harrison. Although it failed to chart when extracted as a single, Robert Lamm's (keyboards/vocals) "Love Was New" is one of the more jazz-influenced tunes on  Hot Streets. The laid-back groove effortlessly carries the melody behind a fusion of light rock and contemporary jazz. The rapidly changing pop music landscape, whose horizons would embrace disco and new wave, would all but abandon  Chicago  for the group's next few albums. Although the band attempted to adapt to the trends, it would be four LPs and four years before  Chicago  would re-emerge in full form on its comeback,  Chicago 16  (1982).

ZZ TOP / AFTERBURNER 1985 !! ORG USA EDIT, CONTIENE ENCARTE + 1ª LABEL ORIGINAL !! TODO EXC ZZ TOP / AFTERBURNER 1985 !! ORG USA EDIT, CONTIENE ENCARTE + 1ª LABEL ORIGINAL !! TODO EXC BUEN ESTADO, ESTA EDICION CONTIENE EL ENCARTE INTERIOR Y TAMBIEN EL BONITO LABEL CON EXCLUSIVO DISEÑO El productor Bill Ham, que se había encargado de esa tarea con Zz Top desde su primer trabajo fué el elegido también de orientar el sonido del trio tejano hacía derroteros desconocidos para cualquier fan de la banda a comienzos de los ochenta. La unión del Blues- Hard- Rock Sureño añejo con las nuevas tecnologías musicales, parecía utópico tratandose de una banda como esta, pero "Eliminator", publicado en 1983, demostraria lo contrario. Después de semejante éxito la banda y su sequito decidieron dejarse llevar y explotar el filón al máximo, "Afterburner", que salió al mercado el 28 de Octubre de 1985, ahondará aun más en los terrenos electrónicos tan de moda en aquella época y que tan buenos resultados les habian dado. Para ello cuentan nuevamente con temas muy comerciales, en "Sleeping Bag" se covijan guitarras y rítmos sintetizados, baterías electrónicas, los excesos de "Eliminator" elevados al cubo. Un año antes de que saliese este disco, Eddie Van Halen, quizás animado por el resultado satisfatorio del disco de Zz Top, banda por la que sentía una admiración total, graba "Jump". "Stages", tiene bastante en común con el tema estrella de "1984", pero sus melodías son incluso más aoreras. De todas formas, que nadie piense que Billy Gibbons se ha quedado dormido, a lo largo de la canción sus riffs están bien presentes. Como en la siguiente "Woke Up With Wood", entre la inicial "Sleeping Bag" (Otra vez esos sintetizadores) y el sonido global de "Eliminator". En este nuevo trabajo descubrimos algo inédito en Zz Top, las "Power Ballads". Ciertamente, "Rough Boy" es empalagosa y Aor hasta decir basta. El tema, tubo su repercusión mediatica sobre todo en el canal televisivo de moda "Mtv". Pero no debemos encender las alarmas, Dusty Hill recupera el encanto nuevamente con la roquera y efectiva "Can't Stop Rockin'", cargada de topicazos pero con una garra descomunal. "Plantet Of Woman", es uno de los temas a los que mejor le ha sentado el nuevo diseño sonoro de Zz Top. Las poderosas guitarras son las acompañantes ideales de una estrofa y estribillo con muchísimo gancho y comercialidad. Quizás el mejor tema de "Afterburner" con el permiso de "Dipping Low (In The Lap Of Luxuri)", otra canción super "Cool" calcada al mejor repertorio de "Eliminator". El no va más de los rejuvenecios barbudos, para bien o para mal, según se mire las componen "I Got The Message" y "Velcro Fly". En ellas, los sintetizadores ya han tomado el control total. Para los puristas fans de "Fandango" o "Tres Hombres", esto quizás pueda ser la gota que colma el vaso. La despedida con la potente "Delirious", seguro que dejará un buen sabor de boca para todo tipo de seguidores de la banda, los antiguos y los que les descubrimos con este disco. Autor: Caído En Little Big Horn ZZ Top, cariñosamente conocido por sus fans como "The Little Ol' Band from Texas", es un grupo estadounidense de southern rock y hard rock formado en 1969 en Houston, Texas. Los miembros del grupo son Billy Gibbons (voz y guitarra), Dusty Hill (bajo y voz) y Frank Beard (batería). Tienen el mérito de ser uno de los pocos grupos de rock que todavía conserva sus miembros originales después de 40 años, además de haber mantenido al mismo manager y productor, Bill Ham. Alcanzaron la cima de su éxito comercial en los 70 y los 80, pero todavía hoy continúan girando y lanzando discos. ZZ Top entró en el Rock and Roll Hall of Fame el 15 de marzo de 2004. Gibbons y Hill también son famosos por las peculiares guitarras que utilizan, muchas de ellas codiseñadas con el maestro luthier John Bolin. Gibbons y Hill siempre son retratados llevando gafas de sol (un gesto a su canción de 1979 Cheap Sunglasses), ropa parecida (o en ocasiones idéntica), y sus larguísimas barbas. En 1984 la firma Gillette ofreció a Gibbons y a Hill un millón de dólares por afeitarse en un anuncio de televisión. Declinaron la oferta Tracks: -- 1: Sleeping Bag -- 2: Stages -- 3: Woke Up With Wood -- 4: Rough Boy -- 5: Can't Stop Rockin' -- 6: Planet Of Women -- 7: I Got The Message -- 8: Velcro Fly -- 9: Dipping Low (In The Lap Of Luxury) -- 10: Delirious Notes: ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank Beard (drums). After scoring its biggest hit ever with its eighth release, 1983's polished ELIMINATOR, ZZ Top decided to continue in the same mainstream direction for its next release two years later, AFTERBURNER. Another big hit for the band, the album did spawn several hits, yet wasn't as strong overall as its predecessor. It was impossible to avoid the following ZZ hits on either MTV or radio between 1985-'86--the ballad "Rough Boy" (which innovative video was based on AFTERBURNER's space-age cover art), the synth stomper "Velcro Fly," the melodic "Sleeping Bag," or the rocking "Stages." 15 years after the band's debut release, AFTERBURNER found ZZ Top more popular than ever.

TANGERINE DREAM: EXIT [UK 1984] CD/RE TANGERINE DREAM: EXIT [UK 1984] CD/RE (Virgin)  1984  made in UK cat. num.  CDV 2212 #space rock  #progressive rock   1 Kiew Mission 9:18 2 Pilots Of Purple Twilight 4:19 3 Choronzon 4:07 4 Exit 5:33 5 Network 23 4:55 6 Remote Viewing 8:20   Exit marks the beginning of a new phase in Tangerine Dream's music: Gone were the side-long, sequencer-led journeys, replaced by topical pieces that were more self-contained in scope, more contemporary in sound. Johannes Schmoelling's influence is really felt for the first time here; Tangram, for all its crispness and melody, was simply a refinement of Force Majeure's principles, and the soundtrack to Thief not an album proper. On Exit, listeners are introduced to electronic music's next generation, notably on "Choronzon" and "Network 23," which brought the sound of the dancefloor into the mix (it hasn't left since). That's not to suggest that Tangerine Dream has stopped creating eerie, evocative music; both "Pilots of Purple Twilight" and the stately "Exit" will feel familiar to fans, and the opening "Kiew Mission" is a captivating commentary on nuclear war that includes vocals after a sort (a woman's voice reading locations in Russian). Exit ends on a surprisingly dark note, the alien and foreboding "Remote Viewing." It's on this track more than any other that Tangerine Dream returns to its past, invoking Phaedra and the sequencer-driven works that followed, as if to tell fans that Exit's changes weren't the result of a new band, just a new direction. With one foot in the excesses of the past and one clearly on the road to a more concise sound, Exit is a transitional work. As Schmoelling and, later, Paul Haslinger exerted their influence on Tangerine Dream's music, the emphasis shifted from dark and moody commentary to more positive subjects. It's worth noting that Edgar Froese's social conscience fuels much of Exit -- copies of the record were made available to a cross-section of Russian citizens free of charge to promote an open exchange of ideas at a time when nuclear annihilation was taken seriously. Future albums channeled Froese's activism to environmental concerns, which dovetailed with the band's by-then new age sensibilities. Both here and on White Eagle, Tangerine Dream ushers in the promise and the peril of a new world where reality has caught up with science fiction. Perhaps with such a message, the medium needed to be simpler and more direct.

STANLEY CLARKE: I WANNA PLAY FOR YOU [UK 1979] LPx2/GAT STANLEY CLARKE: I WANNA PLAY FOR YOU [UK 1979] LPx2/GAT (Epic - CBS)  1979  made in UK cat. num.  EPC 22133 #jazz rock  #jazz funk  #fusion   A1 Rock 'N' Roll Jelly 2:35 A2 All About 5:15 A3 Jamaican Boy 3:27 A4 Christopher Ivanhoe 3:22 A5 My Greatest Hits 6:28 B1 Strange Weather 1:45 B2 I Wanna Play For You 6:20 B3 Just A Feeling 6:02 B4 The Streets Of Philadelphia 5:55 C1 School Days 10:43 C2 Quiet Afternoon 9:00 D1 Together Again 5:40 D2 Blues For Mingus 2:18 D3 Off The Planet 3:10 D4 Hot Fun-Closing 7:50   Stanley Clarke  stretches his muscles and comes up with a mostly impressive, polystylistic, star-studded double album (now on one CD) that gravitates ever closer to the R&B mainstream.  Clarke 's writing remains strong and his tastes remain unpredictable, veering into rock, electronic music, acoustic jazz, even reggae in tandem with British rocker  Jeff Beck.  Clarke 's excursion into disco, "Just a Feeling," is surprisingly and infectiously successful, thanks to a good bridge and  George Duke 's galvanizingly funky work on the Yamaha electric grand piano (his finest moment with  Clarke  by far). The brief "Blues for Mingus," a wry salute from one master bassist to another (Mingus  died about six months before this album's release), is a cool acoustic breather for piano trio, and the eloquent  Stan Getz  can be detected, though nearly buried under the garish vocals and rock-style mix, on "The Streets of Philadelphia." Yet even the talented  Clarke  in full creative flower couldn't quite fill a double set with new material, so he has a tendency to reprise some of his old memorable riffs a lot, and there are several energetic snapshots of his live band in action. In its zeal to get this two-LP set onto one disc, Epic deleted three of the original 15 tracks -- including at least one gem, the sizzling hard rocker "All About" -- and scrambled the order of the remaining tunes. Which is dumb, because the missing tracks only take up a bit less than 12 minutes of playing time, not enough to overload a 65-minute disc. Hunt for the double-LP version if you can still play vinyl.

THE CURE - CONCERT (THE CURE LIVE) - ALBUM VINILO ORIGINAL PRIMERA EDICION POLYDOR 1984 THE CURE - CONCERT (THE CURE LIVE) - ALBUM VINILO ORIGINAL PRIMERA EDICION POLYDOR 1984 Concert es el primer álbum en vivo de la banda británica de rock, The Cure. La edición en cassette fue doble, ya que contenía el resto de caras B y se tituló Curiosity (Killing the Cat): Cure Anomalies 1977–1984. El disco es el resultado de las grabaciones de los conciertos que dio la banda en el actual Hammersmith Apollo de Londres y en Oxford en mayo de 1984. La portada fue diseñada por el mismo Robert Smith, bajo el seudónimo de Toberr, con un fotograma de vídeo de una emisión de televisión en directo el 25 de agosto de 1984 durante el concierto que The Cure ofrecieron en el Barrowland Ballroom situado en Glasgow, Escocia y que tenía la intención de que ilustrase un disco pirata de la banda. Algunos de los temas que los Cure tocaron en los conciertos de mayo de 1984 en Oxford y Londres durante la gira promocional del álbum "The Top", se inmortalizarían en el primer directo oficial de la banda de Robert Smith. Así, de lo poco que se podía salvar del mediocre y antes mencionado "The top", se incluyeron " Shake dog shake " y " Give me it ". También, una revisión más acorde con su estilo del hit discotequero " The walk ". Del oscuro y taciturno "Pornography" dejarían patente una intensidad épica con " One hundred years " y " The hanging garden ". Del tétrico y tormentoso "Faith" se incluiría la menos tenebrosa, esa fantástica " Primary ". Además, la inclusión de " Charlotte sometimes " permitió conocer más ampliamente una de las rarezas inéditas publicadas en formato single de The Cure. Del frío y experimental "Seventeen seconds" se recogería " A forest " en una psicodélica versión que se convertiría a posteriori en la joya del siniestro afterpunk. Finalmente, para cerrar este álbum " 10:15 Saturday night " y " Killing an arab ", los dos temas de su primer single con aquel primerizo powerpop característico. En definitiva, en "Concert - The Cure Live" se recogían las mayores virtudes del primer y más interesante período de una de las bandas más exitosas de la década de los 80. Listado de canciones: 1. «Shake Dog Shake» 4:14 2. «Primary» 3:29 3. «Charlotte Sometimes» 4:06 4. «The Hanging Garden» 4:05 5. «Give Me It» 2:49 6. «The Walk» 3:31 7. «One Hundred Years» 6:48 8. «A Forest» 6:46 9. «10:15 Saturday Night» 3:44 10. «Killing an Arab» 2:51 In 1984, the Cure released The Top, a generally psychedelic album on which Smith played all the instruments except the drums—played by Andy Anderson—and the saxophone—played by returnee Porl Thompson. The album was a Top 10 hit in the UK, and was their first studio album to break the Billboard 200 in the US, reaching number 180. Melody Maker praised the album as "psychedelia that can't be dated", while pondering, "I've yet to meet anyone who can tell me why the Cure are having hits now of all times." The Cure then embarked on their worldwide Top Tour with Thompson, Anderson and producer-turned-bassist Phil Thornalley on board. Released in late 1984, The Cure's first live album, Concert consisted of performances from this tour. Near the tour's end, Anderson was fired for destroying a hotel room and was replaced by Boris Williams. Thornalley also left because of the stress of touring. However, the bassist slot was not vacant long, for a Cure roadie named Gary Biddles had brokered a reunion between Smith and former bassist Simon Gallup, who had been playing in the band Fools Dance. Soon after reconciling, Smith asked Gallup to rejoin the band. Concert: The Cure Live is the first live album of English rock band The Cure. It was recorded in 1984 at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and in Oxford. Its cassette tape edition featured on the B-side a twin album of anomalies, titled Curiosity (Killing the Cat): Cure Anomalies 1977–1984.

GLOBE UNITY: COMPOSITIONS [DEU 1979] LP GLOBE UNITY: COMPOSITIONS [DEU 1979] LP Globe Unity   "Compositions"  LP (Japo-ECM) 1979  made in Germany cat. num.  JAPO60027 #jazz  #free jazz Nodagoo 6:59 Boa 5:43 Trom-bone-it 5:03 Flat Fleet 7:48 Reflections 8:46 Worms (Dedicated To Ezra Pound) 10:25 The Forge 5:22   One of the earliest large-group endeavors attempted in the European free jazz movement,  the Globe Unity Orchestra  was founded by German pianist  Alexander Von Schlippenbach  in 1966, at first for the specific purpose of performing his composition "Globe Unity," which was commissioned for the Berliner Jazztage. Initially, the 19-piece orchestra combined saxophonist  Peter Brotzmann 's trio and trumpeter  Manfred Schoof 's quintet with a phalanx of other early giants of European free jazz (mostly from Germany); they included, among many others, trombonist  Albert Mangelsdorff, woodwind players  Gunter Hampel  and  Willem Breuker, vibist  Karl Berger, bassists  Buschi Niebergall  and  Peter Kowald, and drummers  Jaki Liebezeit  (of the rock group  Can) and  Sven-Åke Johansson. The initial performance was a historic and rousingly cacophonous success, and  Von Schlippenbach  kept the group going, serving as its musical director for most of the next two decades. Naturally, the membership fluctuated quite a bit; by the early '70s, the group had more of a British presence, with players like guitarist  Derek Bailey, saxophonist  Evan Parker, and trombonists  Malcolm Griffiths  and  Paul Rutherford, plus trumpeter  Kenny Wheeler  and drummer  Han Bennink.  Von Schlippenbach  left for a bit in 1971, but returned the following year, and the group began playing outside of Germany more often beginning in 1974, which also marked the point at which more of their music was preserved on record (much of it on FMP). As the orchestra evolved, it relied less and less on structured arrangements, eventually becoming completely free. However, since a 20th-anniversary celebration and recording session, the group has mostly been silent.

BUGERA Amplificador Guitarra 6262 INFINIUM Amplific Valvulas 120 W The gain structure and tonal character of the 6262 / 6262-212 are built on the same fundamentals as the 6260—but more midrange, making them perfect for 80’s rock and metal. You also get fully independent control of EQ, Presence and Reverb on both channels. Ultimate Tone Mastery A lot of amp manufacturers call their Treble/Mid/Bass knobs “tone” controls. We call ours EQ because we spent a lot of time making sure that they each have a unique character. Treble really screams; Mid puts you about six rows into the audience; Low can add more growl than an angry Kodiak bear. The Presence control is tailored to smooth out your tone or add enough bite to cut through any cymbal. It can bring new life to darker sounding instruments. INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier Technology Our revolutionary INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier technology is like having your very own technician inside your amp constantly monitoring and tweaking valve performance for the ultimate in tonal integrity and reliability. This revolutionary circuit not only optimizes the performance of each output tube, it dynamically balances the drive between them to more evenly distribute the load. With INFINIUM, your tubes last up to 20 times longer, saving you substantial money over the lifespan of your amplifier. INFINIUM also compensates for the effects of aging, automatically adjusting current levels to keep your valves sounding as good as the day they were installed. If and when a valve does reach the end of its life, the system even tells you which one to replace. All you need do is replace the faulty valve and let INFINIUM take care of the rest for you. This all adds up to more consistent sound quality and longer life for your valves. Maintenance for valve amps has never been this easy! CARACTERISTICAS BUGERA 6262 INFINIUM -  Hand-built 120-Watt amplifier driven by 4 x 6L6 valves (convertible to EL34) -  2-channel preamp design (Clean/Crunch, Lead) featuring 6 x 12AX7 valves for thick and screaming hi-gain -  Revolutionary INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier technology: – Extends the life of your amplifier’s expensive power valves up to 20 times. – Provides incredible reliability and consistent tone over the complete lifespan of your valves – No need for expensive matched valve sets – Allows you to mix and match any combination of compatible valve types and brands – Monitors performance of each power tube continuously and displays defective valves to allow for easy and individual replacement -  Integrated high-class reverb with dedicated Reverb control for each channel -  Independent Equalizer sections for each channel with dedicated Bass, Mid and Treble controls -  Classic Presence control per channel for efficient midrange sound shaping -  Heavy-duty footswitch for Channel selection and FX Loop function included -  Impedance switch (4, 8 and 16 Ohms) to match virtually any speaker cabinet -  High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life   

SIMPLE MINDS: CELEBRATION [ESP 1982] LP/COMP SIMPLE MINDS: CELEBRATION [ESP 1982] LP/COMP Simple Minds   "Celebration"  LP (Arista)  1982  made in Spain cat. num.   I-204 521 #new wave  #pop rock  #synth pop   Life In A Day   Chelsea Girl   Premonition   Factory   Calling Your Name   I Travel   Changeling   Celebrate   Thirty Frames A Second   Kaleidoscope   Originally released in 1982 by Arista in the U.K. and reissued on CD by the Dutch Disky imprint in 2001,  Celebration  serviceably culls some of the better moments from  Simple Minds ' first three albums: 1979's  Life in a Day  and  Reel to Real Cacophony  and 1980's  Empires and Dance. Given the sadly neglected status of the band's early catalog -- meaning anything that was released prior to 1982's breakthrough  New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)  -- through the early 2000s, it is doubly unfortunate that a compilation like this remained out of print for an extended period of time. And though the studio albums remained in print in the U.K.,  Simple Minds ' early years hardly received the red carpet compilation treatment that their later works did. While nothing here came close to approaching the stadium-pleasing popularity of later smashes like "Don't You (Forget About Me)," "Alive and Kicking," or even "Promised You a Miracle,"  Celebration  might provide a little shock to an initiated someone who snaps up a copy. It's a near-definite that plenty of people who own  New Gold Dream  and/or the  Glittering Prize 81/92 compilation remain oblivious to the fact that  Simple Minds  released five albums that ranged from good to spectacular between 1979 and 1981, before  New Gold Dream  came along with its perfect balance of art and pop to connect with a mass audience. Not only was 1979-1981 a prolific period for the band, but it was a period that witnessed them blossoming from a decent guitar-based post-punk band to a far more rhythmic and experimental entity that gradually shed their influences while ambitiously building on them. And as the few brave souls who have remained devout  Simple Minds  fans from day one might tell you,  Celebration  has stood the test of time better than  Glittering Prize  track-for-track.

RY COODER: BOP TILL YOU DROP [ESP 1984] LP/RE RY COODER: BOP TILL YOU DROP [ESP 1984] LP/RE Ry Cooder   "Bop Till You Bop"  LP (Warner)  1984  made in Spain cat. num.  LB 56691 #rock  #blues rock  #rock&roll   Little Sister 3:49 Go Home, Girl 5:10 The Very Thing That Makes Your Rich 5:32 I Think It's Going To Work Out Fine 4:43 Down In Hollywood 4:14 Look At Granny Run Run 3:09 Trouble You Can't Fool Me 4:55 Don't You Mess Me Up A Good Thing 4:08 I Can't Win 4:16   Following his conceptual 1978 release,  Jazz,  Ry Cooder  returned the next year with the R&B/soul-based  Bop Till You Drop. The first major-label, digitally recorded album,  Bop  is a nice set of moderately known to obscure tunes from the '50s and '60s (along with a  Cooder / Tim Drummond  original) that doesn't always live up to its promise.  Cooder  and his excellent band, which includes the rhythm section of  Tim Drummond  and  Jim Keltner  along with guitarist  David Lindley, understand the material and are more than capable of laying down a decent groove, but something must have gotten lost in translation from what was played to what came across on the recording. There's a thinness to the tracks that undermines the performances, which according to  Cooder  is due to the digital recording. If you check out the live version of  Bop Till You Drop 's opener, "Little Sister," from the No Nukes record (using the same band), you can see what surely could have been. Still,  Bop  is worthwhile given  Cooder 's penchant for choosing great tunes, as well as the tight performances, brilliant guitar work, and a handful of great guest vocalists (including  Chaka Khan). A few of the highlights include his arrangement of the early-'60s  Elvis  hit "Little Sister," the soulful "The Very Thing That Makes You Rich (Makes Me Poor)," an instrumental take on  Ike & Tina Turner 's "I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine," and "I Can't Win," featuring  Cooder 's longtime cohort  Bobby King  on lead vocal.

THE MOODY BLUES: THE PRESENT [UK 1985] LP THE MOODY BLUES: THE PRESENT [UK 1985] LP The Moody Blues   "The Present"  LP (Threshold)  1985  made in UK cat. num.  810 119-1 #rock  #progressive rock   A1 Blue World 5:16 A2 Meet Me Halfway 4:09 A3 Sitting At The Wheel 5:35 A4 Going Nowhere 5:27 B1 Hole In The World 1:55 B2 Under My Feet 4:48 B3 It's Cold Outside Your Heart 4:23 B4 Running Water 3:20 B5 I Am 1:41 B6 Sorry 4:56   ELO  fans who found in  Long Distance Voyager  a new  Discovery  can be excused for thinking there's no  Time  like  The Present. Just as  ELO 's follow-up to the sweeping  Discovery  seemed tame by comparison, so  The Present  failed to match the grandiose arrangements of  the Moodies ' previous record. It's still a solid effort, bolstered by strong songwriting and pleasant melodies, but as good as the opening "Blue World" is, its downbeat message is no substitute for the clarion call of "The Voice."  The Present  seems to make a conscious effort to scale back the arena-size sound of their previous album, returning to the warmly rendered ballads of old.  Patrick Moraz, whose keyboards were a revelation on  Long Distance Voyager, plays a diminished role here, as  Justin Hayward 's guitar takes more of the lead, suggesting a poor man's  Phil Manzanera  or  David Gilmour. While it charted well and provided hit singles in "Blue World" and "Sitting at the Wheel" (again, it's  John Lodge  who provides the most invigorating track),  The Present  is a gift that listeners will need to warm up to over time. Only after several sittings do  Hayward 's lush ballads like "Meet Me Halfway" and "Running Water" sink in. Following the format of their last effort, the closing tracks are given to  Ray Thomas, who once more proves a compelling presence (he's also the only good thing about "Going Nowhere"). "I Am" and "Sorry" amount to little more than love songs, but  Thomas ' sense for dramatic arrangements manages to elevate the musical discussion. Given the now infrequent release of new albums by  the Moody Blues, more could have been expected from  The Present, but less could have been achieved (as the disappointing  Keys of the Kingdom  demonstrated). If it's merely average by  Moodies  standards, at least  The Present  didn't bode ill for the future.
