2017 release. A rolling juggernaut of hard-edged northeastern funk and rock, punctuated by a tight horn section, this disc highlights the full throated voice and cocky attitude of lead singer, Miss Velvet. Coming straight out of a Janis Joplin/Chi Coltrane bag, Miss Velvet and the Blue Wolf have been blowing away audiences in the Northeast US for the past few years. Recorded at Detroit's legendary United Sound studios and produced by Constance Hauman, Bad Get Some at once gives a nod to hard-driving blues and rock bands of the past while forging a red-hot sound all it's own. This is gut bucket, funky rock and roll... total body music.

The CD Kinetic Valves offers a listening journey inspired by the pluralism of contemporary languages, in a mix of different styles and poetics, between the sounds of the euphonium and the ophicleide. A listening journey dedicated to the new Italian compositional panorama that unfolds through the works of Matteo Tundo (Innesti e Germinazioni), Pasquale Punzo (Mirrored in the brass), Maria Vittoria Agresti (Mutea: I, II and III) and Daniele Vulpiani (Inventario di oggetti introvabili), all in firstever recordings. The conclusion of this journey into a world of rarely heard sounds is the reinterpretation of the piece PostPraeLudium per Donau by Luigi Nono. The protagonist of the recording is Marina Boselli, a virtuoso of the instrument who, after her studies, perfected herself with internationally renowned teachers. Winner of numerous national and international competitions, she is active in Italy and abroad as a soloist. Since 2018 he has been the first euphonium soloist of the Civica Filarmonica di Lugano and collaborates as a guest musician at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia for the creation of new repertoires for euphonium and electronics, also holding masterclasses on composition for brass and extended techniques in conservatories and international composition campuses.

The album Excursin Animato is a live recording of a unique project that Irena and Vojtech Havel, and the experimental-ambient duo Kora et le Mechanix, performed at the Alternativa Festival in 2006, created specifically for this festival. Here, the Havel couple for the first time combined their fragile, meditative music with electronics, which they had purposefully avoided until then (and even after). The album Excursin Animato is dedicated to the memory of the exceptional musician Vojtech Havel, who died a year ago. He and his wife Irena had been working together since the 1970s, recording a number of albums that mixed elements of European minimalism with Baroque and Eastern traditions. The depth and unpretentiousness of their expression have won them loyal fans at home and abroad and inspired many artists across genres. For their latest album Four Hands (Animal Music, 2024), they received the Czech Music Academy Award. The duo Kora et le Mechanix, formed by Michal Kor�n and Filip Homola, is celebrating 20 years of existence this year. They have established themselves as one of the most interesting electronic ambient projects in our country. The starting point of the collaboration with the Havel couple was their debut album Excursin (2006). The electronic compositions of Kora et le Mechanix (electronics, sampler, synthesizer, vocoder) are combined with the fragile world of acoustic music of Irena and Vojtech Havel (viola da gamba, cello, piano, and Tibetan bowls). The album Excursin also has a remix version, Excursin Forte (2007), featuring some of the most remarkable artists of the Czech and Slovak electronic scene. Excursin Animato thus concludes this trilogy.

Vladimir Misik is back with a new album, Vteriny, mesice a roky (Moments, Months and Years). The album is Misik's third collaboration with the producer Petr Ostrouchov and follows the prize-winning projects, Jednou te potkam (Once, I Will Meet You; 2019) and Nocni obraz (Night Image; 2021). The album is comprised of fifteen new songs, with lyrics by Vladimir Misik and Michael zantovsk�, songs based on poems by Jan Skacel, Jiri Dedecek and Frantisek Gellner, and one text tailored directly for Misik by Tomas Belko, a one-time fellow band-member of Ostrouchov in Sto zvirat. In the studio, Misik surrounded himself by ten musicians, with the Blue Shadows quartet at the core, which also performed on the previous recordings, featuring Josef stepanek and Petr Ostrouchov on the guitar, Matej Belko on the bass guitar and Martin Novak on the drums. The other players include pianist Jan Steinsdorfer and Hammond organist Ondrej Pivec (now living in the USA), who both were involved on the album Nocni obraz as well, guitarist Lukas Martinek, double bassist Tomas Liska and two special international guests - the Cuban-American percussionist Michito Sanchez and the British performer on the pedal steel guitar B.J. Cole - who both have featured in projects of illustrious colleagues such as Sting, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Depeche Mode, Crosby, Stills and Nash, James Taylor, David Gilmour, R.E.M., Bjork, Stevie Wonder, and others. The album is released on CD and as a 2LP and includes a comprehensive booklet with studio session photos and the lyrics.

After the warm reception of their first collaborative album, pianist Bruno Bavota and vocalist/composer Chantal Acda felt a quiet but undeniable pull to continue the journey they had begun together. What started as a spontaneous musical dialogue has grown into a deeper partnership; one rooted in trust, intuition, and a shared devotion to the emotional core of sound. For this new chapter, the duo stepped into the studio together for the first time, choosing to shape the music side by side rather than far apart, as was the case with their first album. They invited legendary engineer Phill Brown, renowned for his work with Talk Talk, Mark Hollis and a constellation of other boundary-pushing artists, to help capture the fragility, space and raw honesty that define their collaboration. Brown's unmistakable sensitivity to atmosphere became an essential part of the album's sonic architecture. To expand their palette even further, Bavota and Acda opened the doors to a small circle of like-minded musicians whose voices naturally complement their own: Adam Wiltzie (A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Stars of the Lid), Gerd Van Mulders, Beatrijs de Klerck and Niels Van Heertum. Their contributions move gently through the record: brass, strings, textures and drones that never overwhelm, but instead illuminate the quiet spaces where Bavota and Acda's music breathes. The result is an album that feels both intimate and expansive, grounded in the delicate interplay of piano and voice yet broadened by the subtle orchestration surrounding them. It is a record about presence: two artists meeting in the same room, listening deeply and allowing others to join their conversation. Released by Challenge Records, the album Safer Places marks a meaningful evolution in Bavota and Acda's collaboration. An album that resonates with the beauty of connection, the weight of silence and the courage to let sound unfold in it's own time.

Emeline Bayart, comedienne chanteuse et metteuse en scene, interprete Fragson, Guilbert, Brassens, Vincent Scotto, Anne Sylvestre ou Juliette. Elle donne vie a ce patrimoine musical essentiel qu'elle explore avec un panache fou et une justesse sans pareil. D'Elle a Lui raconte les frasques de la vie amoureuse avec gouaille, dr�lerie et emotion. Emeline Bayart a un talent inestimable pour mettre en lumiere l'art poetique du parle chante. Feminin, libre et fievreux. Irresistible. Augustin BONDOUX / Patrick FReMEAUX. Emeline Bayart excelle a donner des couleurs delicates aux melodies les plus tendres, a pimenter les histoires salees, a donner du punch aux ritournelles languissantes. Il n'y a rien de plus beau qu'un recital de grandes chansons francaises interprete avec esprit. Elle a puise la matiere de ce cabaret irresistible dans un large vivier. Elle est epatante et son partenaire de pianiste aussi. Armelle HeLIOT - Le Figaroscope. Actress, singer and stage director Emeline Bayart sings Fragson, Guilbert, Brassens, Vincent Scotto, Anne Sylvestre and Juliette. And here she gives new life to this essential music heritage with an exploration of songs where she adds her amazing panache to an unrivalled perspective. "D'Elle a Lui" sings of life's amorous escapades, with Emeline giving these songs a quirky humour that pairs laughter with the emotions. And she shows a priceless talent for illuminating the poetic art we call "spoken-song": feminine, free and excited. Irresistible.

Chacun pour soi (it means 'everyone for himself) is an invitation to discover the sensitive, felt-like universe of Stéphanie Acquette. As a singer and multi-instrumentalist, she unfolds a colourful, vintage-cinema imagination with pop influences that sometimes draw from jazz and Latin music. And each title springs up like a snapshot. Humour, gravitas, and feelings of love and nostalgia provide the palette, and Stephanie shows rich emotions with a rare precision. The songwriting here is exquisite, with velvet arrangements elegantly carrying a delicate voice that makes this album a succulent nest for an artist of resplendent talents. Augustin BONDOUX/Patrick FREMEAUX

Radiophonie vol 15 is a collection of trailers broadcast in 2023-24 by various Radio France channels. France BLEU package, specially composed by Pascal Obispo and James Gravity; France Inter theme songs rearranged by Christophe Minck, Clement Ducol, Clement Leotard, Alexandre Finkin and many others.

The Signature label having developed into Radio France's preferred means of expression for multiple form of music, it is now broadening it's space for creation with Radiophonie, an entire collection devoted to illustration in sound. Welcoming today's composers with a curiosity for this purely radiophonic object, one filled with relatively brief forms that are explicit as regards the themes developed or resolved, and sensitive to the sounds of the contemporary world, whether electronic, electro-acoustic or acoustic, this new collection Radiophonie has the vocation of being the place where experimentation meets functionality. It's a meeting place that makes note of the fact that, if the distinction between the different destinations of works of music has faded on it's own, the radiophonic form remains rich in perspectives, images, colors and emotions.

Rockin' In The Weary Land

For his 1985 Alligator debut, this blues-rock guitar master chose and arranged all the songs. That was a first, and it's certainly a big part of the reason Roy was able to call this Grammy nominee "the best record I've ever made." Otis Clay, Sonny Seals and Gloria Hardiman guest, but Roy's guitar is the star on "Chicago Smokeshop," "Mrs. Pressure," "A Nickel and a Nail," "Country Boy" and more! Alligator.

Stevie Ray Vaughan trades blistering riffs with Lonnie on "Double Whammy" and four other cuts on this 1985 LP-and that moment was a long time coming. The first record SRV ever bought was a Lonnie Mack LP; he and his hero co-produced this killer guitar album, which also includes "Hound Dog Man," "Satisfy Suzie," "Stop," "You Ain't Got Me," the title track and more! Alligator.
