Wilco

The Whole Love

After seven studio albums, various collaborations and countless days on the road over the past 15 years, Wilco tried something new before starting work on The Whole Love: they took a vacation.

Staying off stage for most of the latter half of 2010 was the longest break from touring that bandleader Jeff Tweedy has had in a career stretching back more than 20 years.

Although he wasn’t out on the road much, Tweedy was working, writing so many songs that the musicians initially thought they had enough material for two new records when Wilco reconvened last fall in the Loft, the group’s Chicago recording studio.

The result is 12 stunning songs that showcase Wilco in a new light, on bold rockers, somber acoustic ballads and punchy pop songs, bookended by the propulsive 7-minute opener and a meditative 12-minute closing track

Nirvana

Nevermind

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this groundbreaking album from the Grunge trio including 27 bonus tracks.

Features the album plus B-sides, the Smart Studio sessions, boombox rehearsals and BBC sessions. Released in September 1991, Nirvana’s sophomore album and major label debut elevated Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl from a critically acclaimed Aberdeen, Washington, cult band to generational spokesmen who’d unwittingly created a cultural shift and musical touchstone.

There is also a 5 disc version with even more goodies !!

Opeth

Heritage

Opeth’s roots in the doom-laden shade of occult-infused Scandinavian Death Metal and dark romanticism are undeniable and will never elicit apology.

But the transcendent emotional and melodic heights achieved on Heritage marks a new chapter in the storied quintet’s career. Band leader, singer, guitarist, songwriter and long-running consistent member Mikael Åkerfeldt has reshaped the pathway forward for his artistic vehicle without sacrificing the hard won spiritualism of previous endeavors.

This masterwork from the Stockholm, Sweden based virtuoso musicians is a mind-boggling dense maze of tempo shifts, off-time signatures, percussive experimentation and warped rhythms.

It is all expertly melded together by a myriad range of emotional outpouring and breezy melodic optimism which soars above the songs like a woodland spirit surveying its forest. There are multiple hints of darkness but Heritage moves the band forward into broader dimensions.

The Jayhawks

Mockingbird Time

Their eighth album overall, and the first with the original lineup since 1995’s Tomorrow The Green Grass.

During their heyday in the first half of the 1990s, The Jayhawks perfected a captivating sound that seamlessly blended the elegant Folk-Rock of The Byrds, the adventurousness of Buffalo Springfield, the Hippiebilly soulfulness of The Flying Burrito Brothers, and the soaring harmonies of The Beach Boys.

So it’s richly ironic that their reappearance coincides with a dramatic resurgence of the musical approach they played such a central role in perpetuating—but this time around, The Jayhawks themselves are revered as icons by the young bands carrying on those same traditions, and it’s their own legacy that they’re advancing.

On Mockingbird Time, they’re once again pushing the envelope in songs and performances of rarefied dynamism and grace. The deluxe version contains a dvd.

Boots Electric

Honkey Kong

New album from Eagles Of Death Metal frontman, Jesse ‘The Devil’ Hughes AKA Boots Electric.

The album was produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Depeche Mode, The Kooks) and co-written with legendary keyboardist Money Mark, best known for his many collaborations with the Beastie Boys.

Dream Theater

A Dramatic Turn Of Events

Special two disc (CD + DVD) editon includes bonus DVD.

A Dramatic Turn of Events is an album born from transition, crafted with studied persistence and possessed by newfound freedom and free-flowing invigoration.

The album strikes the perfect balance between Dream Theater’s intimate history with all that is heavy, progressive and melodic with each element fully realized.

Jimi Hendrix

In the West

Digitally remastered and expanded edition includes five bonus tracks.

Consisting of live material recorded at venues ranging from the Berkeley Community Theatre and the San Diego Sports Arena to the Isle of Wight Festival, Hendrix In The West captures the guitarist exploring new directions in sound during 1969-70.

Blitzen Trapper

American Goldwing

Blitzen Trapper’s third release for Sub Pop finds the band working with collaborators for the first time, opening the studio doors to an outside mixer and co-producer.

Musically, though, the band keeps things entirely within the family, brewing up a track list that harks back to the band’s 1970s country and Southern rock influences without losing sight of Blitzen Trapper’s contemporary appeal.
