April 26 street date. Containing the hits that were only deemed misses by the critics that condemned Oi! as some kind of subcultural fad that favoured football and violence way above the bloody good tunes that should by rights occupy the higher rank, 4 Skins, The Unreleased Radio & Studio Sessions encapsulates that energy at its finest. From formidable swarms of police brutality and political injustice, the underlying (and unyielding) socio-political messages experienced from the streets that resonated with every estranged clockwork skinhead of the day are bound to be ticked on every track. After the atmospheric crash of One Law for Them, dropped in amongst the Radio and blistering Bumper Sessions with Evil sitting squarely in its unpolished centre is the ska-inflected gallop of Seems To Me, an unreleased tune reinforcing the notion that there was more to Oi! than meets the laces.

April 26 street date. Står op med solen ("Rising with the sun") is the second album by Amalie Dahl's Dafnie . With this album, the band continues the exploration of their collective sound.

April 26 street date. Oren Ambarchi has been collaborating with the Fire! trio (Mats Gustafsson, Johan Berthling, and Andreas Werliin) for over a decade- and both Johan and Andreas played on Oren's "Live Hubris" as well. Oren and Johan began music-making together back in the early aughts, but it wasn't until 2021 that the three of them got together to record music. That became the first "Ghosted" album. When they were done, it was clear they had founded a new group. The trio's new album looks and sounds as engrossing as their debut, if not more so. "Ghosted II" has a definitively fresh quality radiating throughout it. The mutual feeling among the three players goes deep, allowing for lots more to say every time they get together - a further recombination of elements, a new expedition through alternative angles...there's always more, and incredibly, it's all improvised, with next-to-nothing prepared going in and minimal overdubs after they've laid things down.

April 26 street date. The strange thing about the music of Anima is that it's often considered as strange, while it's actually very natural. It has a free spirit, analog to nature. For this release the natural spirit is strengthened by the participation of indigenous American flute player and composer R. Carlos Nakai who did a series of concerts in the US and Europe with Paul and Limpe Fuchs in the 1980s. As with almost all Anima work, the natural feel manifests itself not only by the musical approach and sounds generated by metal, wood, stone and air, but also by the absence of electronic devices. This LP is a reissue of a rare privately released cassette from 1988 and was recorded by the Bayerischer Rundfunk. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

April 26 street date. During the height of the pandemic, Melbourne, Australia experienced the longest lockdown in the world, keeping residents inside their homes for a total of 262 days. In the midst of this were the five members who would form AWOL, driven to create and write music almost out of necessity. Once the ban was lifted, the band hit the recording studio and released their debut EP, AWOL, in 2021 through Last Ride Records. The timing was perfect as the Australian hardcore scene was experiencing serious growth, and AWOL soon found themselves playing shows with SPEED, IRON MIND, NO APOLOGIES, and on a country-wide run supporting NO PRESSURE in early 2022. The band’s persistent drive and heavy playing style caught the attention of Flatspot Records, who will release AWOL’s debut full-length, Tear ’em To Bits, this spring. It’s not hard to listen to Tear ’em To Bits and feel like you’re going to get ripped apart. The nine tracks are monstrous, filled with gruff vocals, groove-driven riffs, and meaty breakdowns. AWOL draws from bands like MADBALL and BIOHAZARD, but also fit right along modern day acts like KING NINE and GOD’S HATE. The lyrics are punishing, covering everything from deception and failed relationships, to addressing drug addiction and police brutality. And while the record packs a lot of aggression, AWOL is purely here to revel in hardcore and the community it’s built for them. On making Tear ’em To Bits the band simply states: “The only goal was to make a good hardcore record that we were proud of and that our friends could get behind.” Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

April 26 street date. This program focuses on the Missa pro defunctis by the composer Charles d'Argentil. Recorded for the first time here, it is one of only a dozen musical settings of the liturgy of the dead written before 1550 to have survived to this day. Little-known today, Charles d'Argentil, who worked in the prestigious Papal Chapel in Rome, was a key figure in the French Renaissance, as well as in the establishment of musical settings of the Requiem for papal ceremonies. His setting sits alongside the three Lamentations du samedi saint by Claudin de Sermisy, composer to the French royal chapel under François I, and Jehan Barra's Salve Regina. The Gilles Binchois Ensemble here sheds light on an all-too-often overlooked part of musical history, through the generation that directly followed Josquin des Prés. The art of these three composers bears witness to the high level of mastery attained by that productive and talented generation. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste
