  2. Voivod - The Wake (Deluxe Edition) (2018) 48-24 Country: Canada Genre: Progressive Thrash Metal Format: FLAC (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [48 kHz/24 bit] Time: 01:28:40 Full Size: 1.13 GB In 2018, Voivod's 14th studio album, The Wake, is upon us. The band's original members, drummer Michel "Away" Langevin and vocalist Denis "Snake" Belanger, find themselves reinvigorated and reenergized by the presence of guitarist Daniel "Chewy" Mongrain and new bassist Dominic "Rocky" Laroche. Mongrain, now celebrating ten years in the band, has done a more than respectable job replacing original guitarist, the ever-beloved Denis "Piggy" D'Amour. His contribution to the making of The Wake was as integral to the new album as was Piggy's leadership during his reign. The Wake steers the Voivod spacecraft through a tangled, tantalizing storyline, woven into the most maze-like, edge-of-your-seat musical experience the band have embarked upon since those heady days of the late '80s. Songs such as "The End of Dormancy," "Iconspiracy" and "Spherical Perspective" churn and twist in such a way that no Voivod devotee could possibly have wished for more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCuSHngMy-g Download from [b]HotLink[/b] https://hotlink.cc/folder/fc9f9706-8a73-11ec-a2c7-0cc47ac4f47e

  4. Tears For Fears - The Tipping Point (Limited edition) (2022) [5.1] 48-24 Country: UK Genre: Synthpop, New Wave, Alternative Rock, Pop Rock Format: FLAC 5.1 (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [48 kHz/24 bit] Time: 42:03 Full Size: 1.25 GB For their first album in 18 years, Tears for Fears sound completely revitalized and as beautiful and engaging as ever. Remarkably, it's fueled in part by the 2017 death of Roland Orzabal's wife and partner of many years and his denial about losing her. "I think that when you've been close to someone for decades, they are living within you as well as without," he has said. "And consciously I did not believe she would die, though subconsciously I was, without doubt, preparing for the inevitable, arming myself against the future shock." The title track is shimmering and mysterious, with strident drums and alien beeps but also vocals like a soothing balm. "Winter done, they'll soon be gone/ From this unforgiving place/ To that vague and distant void/ Where the sunlight splits the eye," Orzabal sings of that threshold from life to death. It is heartbreaking, but also hopeful. "Please Be Happy" is incredibly candid-and one of their prettiest tracks: "These days it's like a wave is breaking over you/ Dragging you in with the undertow/ If you lay among the graves you will see other ghosts." And "No Small Thing," about facing the heartbreak of losing your love, is a stunner. Stripped-back acoustic guitar builds to the dreamy psychedelia Tears for Fears has always done so well, the whole thing swelling to a bursting-the-seams crescendo by the end. "Long, Long, Long Time" shows how the duo have always been masters of dynamics, its hymn-like organ giving way to a monster chorus; the song also reminds you just how much Sam Smith owes Curt Smith for their angelic style. "Master Plan" giddily dips into the band's longtime love of Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles, and "Break the Man" is catchy jangle pop touched with moody strings. "My Demons," meanwhile, is a nasty piece of work, in the best way (one akin to Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus"), with Orzabal drilling the doomed lyrics: "Why is my name in lights when my name is spelled wrong . People always find you when your cell phone is on." Smith comes in to sweeten up the chorus, but he sounds thrillingly stretched to his limits as the rhythm gallops like a sweating horse. Put The Tipping Point on the shelf next to Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking for times of crisis. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUp-ujO979U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iemvnxDjrBY Download from [b]HotLink[/b] https://hotlink.cc/folder/81bedadf-9582-11ec-a2c7-0cc47ac4f47e

  12. Karen Dalton - In My Own Time (50th Anniversary Edition) 1971 (2022) Country: USA Genre: Folk, Country,Rock Format: FLAC (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [96 kHz/24 bit] Time: 01:06:26 Full Size: 1.17 GB A half-century after the release of Karen Dalton's cult classic second album, In My Own Time sounds as magical as it always has; it was never-despite the album's title-that she was ahead of her time, but rather not of this world. Which is not to say she was some ethereal creature. After a whole life lived in her teenage years, married twice and with two kids, Dalton moved from Oklahoma to New York City to be part of the Greenwich Village 1960s folk scene alongside the likes of Tim Hardin and Neil Young. Bob Dylan called her one of his favorites, saying "Karen had a voice like Billie Holiday." She reportedly hated the comparison, though you get why Dylan made it: it's the weary ache and that slim silver thread of hope that remains. You can hear it on her cover of George Jones' "Take Me;" the piano flutters like it needs a fainting couch, but Dalton turns the quiet plea into something wistful rather than desperate. "Take me to Siberia and the coldest weather of the winter time/ And it would be just like spring in California," she sings, drawing out that last word like it's some impossible oasis. (By then, Dalton had had two teeth knocked out in a fight between boyfriends.) It's in her jaunty delivery of the Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It is" and her interpretation of Richard Manuel's psychedelic country-rock "In a Station," Dalton blowing like wind through some desolate space. And lord knows it's in her most famous song, the Scottish folk traditional "Katie Cruel." Helped along by high-lonesome banjo, it's as haunted as they come. "When I first came to town, they called me the roving jewel," Dalton sings, managing to make it sound like she's not broken by it all. "Now they've changed their tune, call me Katie Cruel." Credit her wavery, light-refracted voice and the way it reflects both a fragility of nature and a hardscrabble strength of circumstance. (While the story of folkie Fred Neil secretly recording Dalton's first album by not telling her the tape was running has been romanticized, it's also exploitative and manipulative.) Dalton, who would disappear after In My Own Time, battled heroin and alcohol addiction and died at age 55 after an AIDS diagnosis. But her influence carries on, in Angel Olsen, Lucinda Williams, Sharon Van Etten, Courtney Barnett and Nick Cave, to name a few. This new expanded and remastered edition includes alternate takes of "In My Own Dream," "Something on Your Mind" and "Katie Cruel." The latter two light a small fire under the beat, but find Dalton less declarative, like she's consoling a friend in hushed tones. There are also several live tracks. "Take Me," captured in April 1971 in Germany, is so intimate it's disarming, Dalton's voice cracking on the line "like heaven to me." But there is strength-an almost defiance-on the songs from her Montreaux performance a month later, even in "Blues on the Ceiling" when she predicts she'll "Never get out of these blues alive." © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na6XVgIvkeA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzkhFFvLWEA&list=OLAK5uy_ntErliJaccbqaxE4lb3NjuXu8Kev84_S0&index=7 Download from [b]HotLink[/b] https://hotlink.cc/v6mes27i6fck/Karen.Dalton.-.In.My.Own.Time.50th.Anniversary.Edition.1971.2022.rar

Grand Funk Railroad - Closer To Home 1970 (2013) 192-24 Country: USA Genre: Hard Rock, Blues Rock Format: FLAC (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [192 kHz/24 bit] Time: 44:49 Full Size: 2.04 GB Grand Funk Railroad (also known as Grand Funk) is an American blues rock band that was highly popular during the 1970s, touring extensively and playing to packed arenas worldwide. David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine once said, "You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad!" Known for their crowd-pleasing arena rock style, the band was well-regarded by audiences despite a relative lack of critical acclaim. The band's name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, a railroad line that ran through the band's home town of Flint, Michigan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvOPucs7dC0 Download from [b]HotLink[/b] https://hotlink.cc/folder/57963dc1-ada5-11ec-a2c7-0cc47ac4f47e

  18. Dirty Shirt - Get Your Dose Now! (2022) 48-24 Country: Romania Genre: Crossover Folkcore Metal Format: FLAC (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [48 kHz/24 bit] Time: 30:23 Full Size: 391.99 MB Dirty Shirt is a top Romanian crossover folkcore metal band, winner of second place at the international final of Wacken Metal Battle 2014 and of several awards at Metalhead Awards and Maximum Rock Awards. The band's unique style derives from mixing the heavy sound of modern rock/metal with the festive ambiance of East-European traditional music, the eclecticism of world music (country, reggae, and tribal rhythms), the electro sound of industrial music, the energy of hardcore, and the groove of funk. It's not surprising to find great appreciation for Dirty Shirt albums in hundreds of reviews all over the world, including in well-respected magazines such as Metal Hammer (DE, HU), Rock Hard - (DE, FR, SLK), Metalsucks - USA, Hard Rock Mag - FR, Terrorizer - UK, etc. "Get Your Dose Now!" is a shorter nine-track album, with a little more than 30 minutes, but Dirty Shirt maintains that the listening experience will be very intense, as they combine many influences, and the songs change constantly with complex orchestrations. It was produced by Mihai Tivadar, mixed and mastered by Adrian Bila Uritescu and the album artwork was done by Lia Cucuianu. Dirty Shirt brings a truly unique live experience, huge energy, huge emotions, and fun, with a scaling lineup based on the performance, which adds a lot of authenticity and a great live sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2933ZXOPHH0&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtoKsSqxGfU Download from [b]HotLink[/b] https://hotlink.cc/j4xf242xzsmt/Dirty.Shirt.-.Get.Your.Dose.Now.2022.48-24.rar

  20. Jack Lancaster & Robin Lumley - Marscape 1976 (Expanded & Remastered Edition) (2022) 96-24 Country: Genre: Fusion,Jazz-Rock Format: FLAC (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [96 kHz/24 bit] Time: 52:49 Full Size: 1.03 GB Newly remastered of the wonderful 1976 album 'Marscape' by Jack Lancaster And Robin Lumley. This excellent album was recorded and released in 1976 and was composed and conceived to mark the landing on Mars of Nasa's Viking 2 Explorer in September of that year. For the sessions, saxophonist and woodwind player Jack Lancaster and keyboard player Robin Lumley were joined by John Goodsall on guitars, Percy Jones on bass and Phil Collins on drums. The finished album was an incredible work and paved the way for the formation of the acclaimed group Brand X soon after. This new edition of 'Marscape' has been remastered from newly discovered original master tapes. "Lancaster is the former sax player in Blodwyn Pig, but this album is better-known for its side-players: Robin Lumley, John Goodsall, Percy Jones, Phil Collins, Morris Pert... in short, Brand X! Fans of Brand X actively search out this album expecting a pre-Brand X Brand X album. Well, yes and no. One can certainly hear the Brand X style in embryonic form on some songs, but we must remember, this is really Lancaster's show. Lancaster primarily plays sax, but he also plays a lot of Lyricon, an early wind synthesizer. Sometimes, it's hard to tell which synth lines were played by Lumley or Lancaster, although others have a definite "reedy" quality to their sound (i.e., you can tell by the phrasing that the notes came out of a wind instrument and not a keyboard). Other guest appearances include Penguin Cafe Orchestra mainstay Simon Jeffes on koto, while vocalist Bernie Frost graces some songs with his eerie falsetto, though none of the songs has any lyrics. The songs fall into two distinct categories: 1) Soft and atmospheric with gentle melodies expressed on sax/Lyricon/flute backed by Lumley's keyboards (usually piano) and 2) Jazz-fusion somewhat in the Mahavishnu mold with prominent sax and energetic rock backing. The latter passages are those which will be of greatest interest to Brand X fans, Percy Jones' distinctive bass playing being most prominent. One can't help but wonder if the program music on this album was perhaps originally intended to be a soundtrack of some sort. Worth getting if you know what to expect."

I didn't know if it was gonna be a solo album or a Gov't Mule record. We play some traditional blues on stage from time to time and although it's usually never more than a few songs per show, our approach to the blues is unique and based on our collective chemistry as a band. This album gave us a mission. Although in some way it was 'anything goes,' we wanted to stay true to the spirit of the blues in a traditional sense. It's not a blues/rock record - it's a blues record. We wanted it sonically to sound different from a normal Gov't Mule record." - Warren Hayne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJzINC4RftY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-MGNC7G5tg Download from [b]HotLink[/b] https://hotlink.cc/folder/f4434aef-4389-11ec-a971-0cc47ac4f47e

  24. Eagles - Desperado [SACD] (1973) [2022] Label: Mobile Fidelity [UDSACD 2230] Country: USA Genre: Rock Quality: SACD (*.iso) / DSD 64(2,8 MHz/1 Bit) Bitrate: Lossless Time: 0:35:56 Full Size: 1.48 GB Desperado seams to speak to a universally human theme - the notion that at heart we are all drifters, always searching in life for ever-elusive goals such as stability, companionship, belonging, and satisfaction. Marrying cohesive western-themed arrangements to conceptual narrative devices, the Eagles' 1973 album also hits on a tried-and-true American principle: The West, and the freedom, promise, and danger it has represented throughout U.S. history. Ambitious yet accessible, deep but direct, Desperado remains a towering influence on country rock and a crucial piece of the Eagles' development and evolution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mu0c2iwC2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5g34llS_RM https://hotlink.cc/folder/288705e7-0ff7-11ec-a971-0cc47ac4f47e
  25. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love (2022) 96-24 Country: USA Genre: Alternative Rock Format: FLAC (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [96 kHz/24 bit] Time: 01:13:04 Full Size: 1.76 GB The twelfth album from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Unlimited Love, is notable for several reasons: Next year, the band will have been around for 40 years; it's their first since 2009 with on-again, off-again guitarist John Frusciante; and they've returned to producer Rick Rubin, who helmed their 1991 commercial breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik. The old gang sounds like they're having more fun than ever. "Aquatic Mouth Dance" is at once undeniably RHCP and also like nothing they've done before: With a breezy R&B chorus and a vibrant wash of brass, it's almost an Earth, Wind & Fire song; it's also Flea at his finest, delivering super-funky bass that shows why he's gone from being seen as a party doofus to earning real respect. A wild tribute to 1980s LA nightlife, the song name-drops John Doe, the Misfits, Billy Zoom, "the old Starwood" and the long-closed Cathay club where the band got its start, and even offers a self-referential wink to an old album: "Spilling beer is a good fountain/ Like the milk from a mother's tit." The band is also in a nostalgic mood on loose-limbed "Poster Child," a wah-inflected wordplay buffet: "Melle Mel and Richard Hell/ Were dancing at the Taco Bell/ When someone heard a rebel yell . Lizzy looking mighty thin/ The Thompsons had another twin . Steve Miller and Duran Duran/ A joker dancing in the sand." With its "ayo-ayo" chorus, "One Way Traffic" already feels like classic RHCP, as Anthony Kiedis laments his friends getting older and settling down: "Now they read them catalogs." (His escape? Driving down the PCH, music turned up, to a killer surf spot.) There are heavy moments-"These Are the Ways" is pure grunge; "Here Ever After" feels ominous; and "The Heavy Wing" lives up to its name with eye-watering guitar-and dreamy ones that showcase Frusciante's fluid touch (ballad "Not the One," the Steely Dan chill of "Let 'Em Cry," the slip-and-slide R&B of "She's a Lover"). There's even a song that does both, as "Whatchu Thinkin'" flies from pretty, slightly psyched-out melody to blissed-out jam. The band is also, after all these years, still able to evolve and surprise. "Bastards of Light" gets almost country before it crests in a grunge breakdown; "White Braids & Pillow Chair" is a slice of experimental weirdness, weaving in bits of gospel and rumbling Western scores. (The verdict is still out on Kiedis' Hiberno-meets-pirate affectation on the stomper "Black Summer.") This is much, much more than a legacy band turning out the same old stuff. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS8taasZl8k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EuWBWxHs18 Download from [b]HotLink[/b] https://hotlink.cc/folder/7d3452b9-28ea-11ec-a971-0cc47ac4f47e
