"The Layla Sessions: 20th Anniversary Edition [Box]" (09/18/1990) Rock & Pop Derek & The Dominos, Polydor (USA)Derek & The Dominos: Eric Clapton (electric & acoustic guitars, vocals), Duane Allman (electric & acoustic guitars, slide guitars), Bobby Whitlock (organ, piano, acoustic guitar, vocals), Carl Radle (bass, percussion), Jim Gordon (drums, piano, percussion). Engineers include: Ron Albert, Steve Rinkoff, Chuck Kirkpatrick. Producers: Tom Dowd, Derek & The Dominos, Bill Levenson. Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida from August to October 1970. This box set was digitally remixed and remastered by Bill Levenson and Steve Rinkoff at The Power Station, New York from May to June 1990. Includes a 16-page booklet with session notes, annotations and an essay by Gene Santoro. By digitally remixing and remastering these sessions, the producers have resurrected one of Eric Clapton's greatest achievements, his instrumental and songwriting peak. Musically, Clapton was inspired by his new rhythm section and challenged by fellow guitar hero Duane Allman, whose torrid slide guitar makes blues-blasts like "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" and "Key To The Highway" so compelling. And from the classic title song (with drummer Jim Gordon's famous piano coda), to rivetting performances of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad," "Have You Ever Loved A Woman," and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" each and every metaphor is etched in blood and longing, framed in wailing guitars. Disc 1 is the legendary LAYLA double-LP. The jams which comprise disc 2 illustrate the evolution of the session, while the alternate masters, jams and outtakes on disc 3 will certainly be of interest to casual fans and completists alike. All in all, few rock albums from this era have the staying power and poetic immediacy of LAYLA.

"Gold" (08/24/2004) Rock & Pop Fucking AM (The), Drag CityThe Fucking AM: Tim Green (vocals, guitar, organ, Mellotron, electric keyboard, synthesizer, Moog synthesizer, bass instrument); Tim Soete (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Phil Manley (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass instrument); Sebastian Thompson (vocals, drums); Nathan Means (synthesizer); Jon Theodore (drums). Recording information: Louder Studios, San Francisco, California; National Recording, Washington, D.C. A rewarding collaboration between members of the San Francisco metal band the Fucking Champs and the D.C. retro synth-rockers Trans Am, GOLD has the feel of a heavy rock goof-off that has taken on a life of its own. The twin-guitar attack of "Bad Leg" and "Doing Research for an Autobiography" not only references hot-button 1970s bands like Boston and Thin Lizzy, but also fuels a unique sound that's often surprisingly compelling. This imaginative and affectionate mayhem reaches its pinnacle on the mesmerizing "Electrico Gomez," the last piece of the "Gomez" trilogy that closes the set.

"Good Morning, America! Vol. 2" (01/31/2006) Rock & Pop Zimmer, Hans, MilanPersonnel include: Hans Zimmer; Bob Daspit (guitar); Walt Fowler (trumpet); Emil Richards (percussion). Recording information: 1991 - 1995. A collection of Hans Zimmer movie scores written for five productions, including BEYOND RANGOON, BACKDRAFT, and POINT OF NO RETURN, GOOD MORNING AMERICA showcases the German-born composer's remarkable command of cinematic mood. His spare melodies mostly eschew unnecessary drama, as evidenced by his work on RANGOON, but, as the excerpts from BACKDRAFT prove, he's more than capable of bringing out the big orchestral guns when the situation demands.

"Flicker" (04/13/2006) Rock & Pop Ayria, Alfa MatrixAyria: Jennifer Parkin (vocals, programming). Recording information: SBT, Toronto, Canada. The words "exotic" and "Canadian" don't often go together, but on this follow up to her debut album, DEBRIS, the stunningly sexy techno vocalist Ayria is an obvious exception. Her varied influences range from straight-ahead dance on the erotic, insinuating "My Revenge on the World" to hard rock on the edgy "Pink Dress." On FLICKER, she stamps her singular personality on a collection of relentless electronic dance beats set against a minimalist, hard-edged production.
