Melodifestivalen 2025 [2 CD]

Streetlight från Jönköping släpper nu sitt andra album via italienska Frontiers. Det här är 80-tals-AOR i dess renaste form. Tänk Journey, TOTO eller Kansas. Melodierna är lika vackra och smakfulla som gitarrmelodierna och sångaren Johannes Häger har skrivit de flesta låtarna själv. Ytterligare att bevis på att Sverige har en oerhörd förmåga att bringa fram fantastisk melodisk rock.

After two consecutive new Jethro Tull album releases in 2022 and 2023, another collection - 'Curious Ruminant' - is unleashed! Consisting of nine tracks varying in length from two and half minutes to almost seventeen minutes, this is an album of mostly full band music. Amongst the musicians featured are former keyboardist Andrew Giddings and drummer James Duncan, along with the current band members David Goodier, John O'Hara, Scott Hammond and, making his recording debut with the band, guitarist Jack Clark.<br/><br/>This version is a Special Edition CD 6-panel Digipak and comes with a 20-page booklet.

För att fira att det nu är 40 år sedan Accept släppte klassikern "Balls To The Wall" har Udo Dirkschneider valt att spela en ny version, där varje låt gästas av en prominent sångare. Medverkar gör: Joakim Brodén (Sabaton), Biff Byford (Saxon), Mille Petrozza (Kreator), Nils Molin (Dynazty, Amaranthe), Michael Kiske (Helloween), Ylva Eriksson (Brothers Of Metal), Danko Jones, Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex Judas Priest) och Doro Pesch.

The album by David Gilmour, 'Luck and Strange' was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour's first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman, with lyrics mostly written by Polly Samson, Gilmour's co-writer for the past thirty years. The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers' 'Between Two Points', which sees Romany Gilmour, who performs backing vocals across the album, and can also be heard on harp.<br/><br/>Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards and the string and choral arrangements are by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a 'Barn Jam' at David's house. The album's cover image, photographed and designed by renowned artist Anton Corbijn, is inspired by lyrics written by Charlie Gilmour for the album's final song 'Scattered'.

Eric Clapton's brand-new record, Meanwhile features 6 never-before-heard tracks and 8 previously released singles. This album includes collaborations with Jeff Beck, Van Morrison and more.
