This reissue of rocker Michael Schenker Group's 1981 release MSG is digitally remastered and features the tracks "Armed And Ready" and "Cry For The Nations."

After his lengthy stints with the Scorpions and UFO, Michael Schenker could be forgiven for indulging his incendiary fretboard skills throughout the entirety of this 1980 solo debut. Instead, it's a solid group effort that has aged surprisingly well, with Schenker artfully deploying his talents on full-bodied hard rock outings such as the opening "Armed and Ready" and the riff-heavy "Victim of Illusion." Vocalist Gary Barden proves himself more than able to withstand Schenker's pyrotechnics, while the whole enterprise is propelled by the remarkable percussive dexterity of the veteran British drummer Simon Phillips.

UK remastered pressing of the 1980 self titled debut album. EMI. 2006.

5 stars MSG still rocks me
This is one of the albums I have owned for many many years; I nearly wore it out in the 80's. When I wanted get it on CD, I looked everywhere but could not find it or even special order it through my local music stores. I was so excited to find out that it was here at CDU. MSG's songs always put me in a positive mood, and Michael's lilting guitar tone takes my mind out of the doldrums and away on an adventure. Highly recommended by this listener and ardent fan.

Thin Lizzy Black Rose: A Rock Legend CD  (1979)

MSG songs
CD $9.69  4.4 stars Top 500
Hard rock quartet formed by Philip Lynott out of Dublin, Ireland. Thin Lizzy had numerous charting albums throughout the 70's & 80's. Black Rose was originally released in 1980. Featured guitarists are Gary Moore & Scott Gorham. 8 tracks. 2001 reissue. Additional personnel includes: Bluesy Hughie (harp); Jimmy Bain (bass). Recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris, France and Good Earth Studios, London, England. Producers include: Tony Visconti, Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott. Black Rose: A Rock Legend would prove to be Thin Lizzy's last true classic album (and last produced by Tony Visconti). Guitarist Brian Robertson was replaced by Gary Moore prior to the album's recording. Moore had already been a member of the band in the early '70s and served as a tour fill-in for Robertson in 1977, and he fits in perfectly with Lizzy's heavy, ...

Thin Lizzy Thunder And Lightning CD  (1983)

MSG CD music
CD $9.69  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Digitally remastered by Eddie Shreyer & Brian Slagel (Future Disc). Thin Lizzy's final studio release, Thunder and Lightning, was their most consistent album since 1979's Black Rose. Guitarist John Sykes replaced Snowy White, and the new blood must have inspired Lynott and company to write some of their best compositions in years. Although a pop-metal production hinders the tracks, there's more of a harder edge present than on their last release, Renegade. While the title track served as the ensuing tour's raging opener, half-baked lyrics detailing a fistfight and an unwarranted synth-solo weakens what should have been a straight-ahead rocker. But such heavies as "This Is the One" and "Cold Sweat" suit the band much better. Lizzy takes a stab at dance-rock with "The Holy War," while laying back with the tranquil "The Sun Goes Down" and the album's underrated highlight, the melodic "Bad Habits." Like Lizzy's other '80s releases, ...
Red Sea
Warhorse Red Sea CD  (1972) (Import) United Kingdom

MSG music CDs
CD $16.19  Audio Samples
Warhorse's second album was basically more of the same prog rock-proto metal. Sometimes it sounded a little more mainstream rock, as on "Confident But Wrong" or the cover of the old soul ballad "I (Who Have Nothing)." Ashley Holt was tending to hit more annoying high notes, though; the warbles on "Back in Time," for instance, were unconscious models for the kind of singing so ably parodied by Spinal Tap. The CD reissue on Angel Air has six previously unreleased bonus tracks, including a live version of "Ritual" (a song from ...
Drug Problem That Never
Mondo Generator Drug Problem That Never CD  (2003)

MSG songs
CD $14.55  4 stars
This 14-track hard rock release by Mondo Generator - which features Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age includes "Meth, I Hear You Callin'" and "Detroit." Between Mondo Generator's debut, 2000's Cocaine Rodeo, and their sophomore effort, 2003's A Drug Problem That Never Existed, the stakes had been raised considerably. Leader Nick Oliveri's main gig, Queens of the Stone Age, had finally broken on through to the mainstream with their stellar 2002 effort, Songs for the Deaf, so expectations for Drug Problem definitely ran high. But with a stellar supporting cast that contained much of the QOTSA posse (Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, Joey Castillo, etc.) and equipped with a strong set of raw, Motörhead-worthy material, Oliveri hit the nail right on the head. If you're expecting an album as diverse ...

The fall of communism in Eastern Europe had a tremendous impact on the music scenes of countries like Russia, Hungary, the Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia), and Bulgaria. Leninist and Stalinist hard-liners tended to take a dim view of anything other than Euro-classical and very traditional East European folk, and when those hard-liners were no longer in power, musicians suddenly had a lot more room for artistic expression. ...

MSG music CDs
CD $21.05
L o r i C u l l e nC a l l i n g f o r R a i nLush. Luminous. Silken. Fine. Unique. Stunning.These are some of the words that music critics have used to describe Lori Cullen’s voice. It’s a fresh, yet timeless instrument, that speaks with a mature sense of understatement. The kind of voice that gains power from clear emotional resonance rather than showy histrionics. And her artistic Voice is just as distinctive as her physical one.Poised to present herself both as an acoustic guitar playing singer songwriter and the leader of a jazz structured quintet, Lori enjoys unique opportunities for performance. Her skill as a songwriter and collaborator with renowned folk/pop performers places her comfortably in venues and festivals with a singer songwriter focus. While her name can be heard in circles among the finest Jazz singers in Canada.Lori has released four recordings. The most recent “calling for rain” is full of other people’s songs. Covers by Gordon Lightfoot, Randy Newman, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Bruce Cockburn, Harry Nilsson—A collection of mature songs that highlight the craft of song writing and the emotional power of a direct and ...
