RAGGED GLORY (1990) was a non-stop celebration for the music Neil Young & Crazy Horse are still creating at full force, and was recorded at Young's Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California. The 10 song original album is expanded for this re-issue with 4 rare tracks. "Interstate" and "Don't Spook The Horse" were both b-sides to singles. "Box Car" and the 12 minute "Born To Run" were both previously unreleased versions prior to release in the ORS 5 box. The 4 additional songs have resulted with the album expanded to 2 CDs. The album was remastered from the original analogue tapes.

Memento Mori is Depeche Mode's 15th studio album and the first in the lineup of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, following the tragic death of co-founder Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher in 2022. Memento Mori was produced by James Ford, with additional production by Marta Salogni . The album was created during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, resulting in themes directly inspired by that period. The album's 12 tracks chart a wide variety of moods and textures from the ominous opening to the closing denouement, running the gamut from paranoia and obsession to catharsis and joy, and countless points in between.

ARC (1991) is the live companion collection to WELD, and at the time generated the kind of musical notoriety that has often marked Young's creations. ARC is a 35-minute outburst of feedback, improvisation, guitar solos and vocal fragments.

Stapleton Chris: Higher 2023 [CD]

Ulf Lundell har under hela sin snart 50-åriga skivkarriär använt bilder och symboler från midvinternatten i sina sånger. <br/><br/>Utan att någonsin göra ett traditionellt helg- eller vinteralbum har han radat upp låtar som landat eller färdats tillbaka till sådana ögonblick. Ibland ur glädje; julkort fyllda av värme och förväntningar. Andra gånger minnen fyllda av svärta. <br/><br/>På albumet "Rött guld" samlas en kollektion sådana sånger från åren 1978 till 2023. Till nio utvalda jul- och vintersånger adderas fyra nyinspelningar. <br/><br/>Ur fyra decennier sånger och berättelser från vintertid hämtas tidlösa svenska klassiker som "Snart kommer änglarna att landa" - här nyinspelad med 22 man stark stråkorkester - "Vinterland", "Låt det snöa", "Stockholm i december" och givetvis "Snön faller". <br/><br/>Den sistnämnda fyller 45 år, redan det ett motiv att samla dessa sånger under ett tak. <br/><br/>Men "Rött guld" innebär också en möjlighet att återupptäcka och även lyfta fram flera mer okända låtar. Låtar som "Dhaulagiri", om en skilsmässa runt jul, eller den målande berättelsen om de två ensamma männen i "Tanker", liksom "Hård vinter", det är bara några låtar som berättar om "den andra sidan av julen".<br/><br/>I oktober samlade Lundell sitt band i studion under två dagar för fyra nyinspelningar till den här samlingen: titellåten "Rött guld", "För brödfödans skull" och "God jul, hejdå". Samt den nya versionen av "Snart kommer änglarna att landa", en låt med ett budskap som just nu aktualiseras i princip varje dag.
