Diamond Dogs: Slap bang blue rendezvous (Black) [Gatefold / 2 Vinyl LP]

Bandet Sweet är ett fenomen som har fängslat rockvärlden i decennier. Bandet bildades redan 1968 och hade sin storhetstid i mitten av 70 talet. Genom åren har Sweet sålt mer än 55 miljoner skivor och haft 34 topplistettor världen över. Den gyllene tråden som förbinder det förflutna med nuet och framtiden är Sweet veteranen Andy Scott med all sin beslutsamhet att behålla bandets musikaliska arv, inspelningar och turnéer på högsta nivå. The Full Circle är Sweets sista studioalbum.

Limiterad vit vinyl.

Två år efter förra albumet "Trigger", som hyllades unisont av såväl fans som kritiker, är nu mästarna av svensk melankolisk synthpop tillbaka med nya albumet "Tristesse". Här förfinar man sitt etablerade sound till perfektion. Varenda ton känns väl avvägd och de atmosfäriskt vackra och finurliga sångslingorna kryper under huden på lyssnaren. Att lyckas få en så melankolisk samling låtar att ändå kännas upplyftande och livsbejakande är ett konststycke i sig. Den här musikaliska mjuka pläden kommer att värma dig under långa bistra höstmånader. Sami Sirviö och Markus Mustonen från "Kent" ingår i bandets sättning och Bon Harris från "Nitzer Ebb" gästar låten "Throne". Svart Vinyl LP.

This collection of material shows the roots of a concept which the world knows as Creedence Clearwater Revival. John, Tom, Doug and Stu went on to tour the world and make innumerable hit discs, but these records remain a fascinating example of the birth of a band.

'Isolation Boulevard' is a collection of 12 re-recordings from the extensive collection of Sweet classics. The recordings were made in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. Against this backdrop, the overall performance of everyone involved is all the more impressive, from the driving drums and bass to the 'in your face' guitars and stratospheric vocals. Although the album was created under difficult conditions, in the end it was a pleasure for everyone involved to record 'Isolation Boulevard'. The result speaks for itself. <br/><br/>In 2019, SWEET embarked on the biggest tour of their long career to date with the 'Still Got The Rock' tour in Europe and the UK. In between, they even found time to fly to Australia to play as co-headliners on the 'Rock The Boat Cruise 2019'. The band was fired up and looking forward to the future. But suddenly in 2020, the whole world was in turmoil, triggered by a global pandemic and all wheels came to a standstill overnight. But for Sweet, there had to be a way out, otherwise musical creativity in all its forms would be lost forever. So, in what was a new isolation for everyone, they began to produce a Sweet album with the 'new' guys Paul Manzi and Lee Small and the 'old guard' Andy Scott and Bruce Bislan. The album was given the title 'Isolation Boulevard' to suit the situation. The songs are re-recordings of 12 classics from Sweet's extensive collection. There was little time between the lockdowns in the UK to achieve the desired goal. On top of this, there were numerous technical obstacles that had to be overcome. With this in mind, the overall performance of everyone involved is all the more impressive, from the driving drums and bass to the 'in your face' guitars and stratospheric vocals. In the end, it was a pleasure for everyone to record 'Isolation Boulevard', despite being under very strict distancing rules. The result speaks for itself.
