LTD/DIGISLEE- INCL. 14 POSTCARDS & POLAROIDS / STICKER<br/><br/>On a wall of Arcade Fire's New Orleans studio, photos map the territory of its sixth album, WE. On one side, images capture what ails us - a crushing boot, a wounded man, a child staring blankly at a screen. On the other side, joyous family pictures cluster. In the center, there's a photograph of the cover of "We," the 1921 sci-fi novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin, showing a crystalline skyscraper in which the citizens of a dystopia live under constant surveillance.<br/><br/>With an album already written, Arcade Fire started recording in February, 2020, but were interrupted by the start of the pandemic. Win & Régine spent the rest of that year and most of the next writing even more songs. "It was the longest we've ever spent writing, uninterrupted, probably ever" Butler said. Still, the resulting album - produced by Nigel Godrich, Win & Régine - is a concise 40 minutes long. Its first side, "I," is about our troubles; its second side, "WE," is about our love for one another.

Remedy: Something that your eyes won't see [Gatefold / Vinyl LP]

Warner Music are delighted to announce the release of a commemorative triple black vinyl album in honour of the 40th Anniversary of IRON MAIDEN's seminal third album, The Number Of The Beast, which was also the first to feature Bruce Dickinson on vocals and was to become the record which catapulted the band to international stardom. Included in the new vinyl package is Beast Over Hammersmith - available now officially for the very first time on vinyl - featuring the live concert from March 1982's now legendary Hammersmith Odeon London show from the Beast On The Road World Tour. Recorded only days before the release of The Number Of The Beast album, its remarkable to think these now classic songs at that time were still brand new, unfamiliar and being heard live by fans for the very first time. A real piece of history in the making.<br/><br/>The package features exclusive liner notes written by Maiden founder and bassist Steve Harris as well as restored and expanded artwork taken from the CD format of Beast Over Hammersmith, previously only available in the Limited Edition Eddie's Archive boxset originally released in 2002. <br/><br/>Steve Harris comments, <br/>"On this vinyl release we get the chance to put Total Eclipse in its rightful spot on the album for the first time. The reason it didn't make it in the first place was that it was all a mad rush when we were finishing the record and we had to get the Run to the Hills single out before the tour and we basically had to pick a B-side and it was between Gangland and Total Eclipse and we just picked the wrong one, really! I think Total Eclipse is a stronger song and the album would have been stronger if it had been on there."

En världsnyhet briserade tidigare i höstas, när ACT meddelade att <b>Esbjörn Svenssons</b> änka hittat tidigare okänd solopianomusik som Esbjörn spelat in i hemmet, bara några veckor innan han förolyckades 2008. Nu släpps albumet HOME.S. - en improvisatorisk dröm, signerad en av Sveriges största jazzartister.<br/><br/>The release of HOME.S., the only existing, previously unreleased solo album by pianist Esbjörn Svensson, is nothing less than a sensation. The recordings were made in Svensson's Swedish home - just weeks before his tragic death on June 14, 2008, after which they rested undiscovered on a hard drive in his wife Eva Svensson's personal archive for nearly ten years. HOME.S. consists of nine piano songs, with a combination of written-out fragments and Svensson's unique, melodic style of improvisation. Heartfelt, soulful and deeply personal. A "message smuggled across the border, carried by love, space, time and never-ending creative power." (Eva Svensson)<br/><br/><b>Lira Gillar! </b>"Det hela är oavbrutet intressant. Att höra Esbjörn Svensson efter alla dessa år gör mig både rörd och glad." (Ulf Johansson, Lira)<br/>Esbjörn Svenssons HOME.S. hyllas i världspressen!<br/>"Esbjörn Svensson, utan kompisarna Dan Berglund och Magnus Öström, tar ut svängarna på ett delvis annat sätt. Han låter pianospelet omväxlande svälla ut i något som närmar sig den klassiska musikens pianokonserter, omväxlande vända sig inåt i en vackert jazzig melankoli som, med vetskap om hans bortgång, förlänas en gripande sorgkant." (Dan Backman, SvD)<br/><br/>"Itimacy, serenity and majestic clarity." -Télérama (FR)<br/><br/>"A gift from heaven." -Politiken (DK)<br/><br/>"These inventive deliberations are very much his own, ranging from sublime stillness to eruptive vivaciousness.... A delight" -The Scotsman (GB)<br/><br/>"A real discovery, this solo album by the man who is still regarded as one of the most influential pianists of recent decades.'' -De Volkskrant (NL)<br/><br/>"Buoyant, capricious, sweepingly melodic" -The Guardian (GB)<br/><br/><b>Esbjörn Svenssons "HOME.S." från Actmusic är ett av årets bästa jazzalbum 2022, enligt The Guardian!</b> "Between the mid-1990s and his tragic accidental death in 2008, the Swedish pianist/composer Esbjörn Svensson gave classy piano-trio jazz an enthralling stadium-rock drama and drive. These delicate unaccompanied piano pieces, unreleased until now, show a contrastingly private Svensson - but with just the same vivid imagination and subtlety of touch." (John Fordham, The Guardian)
