Digitally remastered edition of the 1986 debut album from the Glasgow based AOR act that set the scene admirably for what was to come in ensuing years. They bravely took on the North American big guns of the genre, if not actually beating them at their own game, at least giving them a bloody nose! Vocalist Tony Liddell recorded just this one album with the band, but he shows that he was a fine singer in his own right. That he was to be replaced by one of the finest vocalists the genre has ever had to offer is testament to his own abilities. This issue includes expanded artwork, sleeve notes from Classic Rock magazine's Dave Ling and and two previously unreleased bonus tracks, this is the best this album has ever looked or sounded.

Strangeways album
 $9.29   
Since Winger was marketed largely on the looks of lead singer Kip Winger, and since their sleazy rockers and lovelorn ballads cover the same old pop-metal territory, the band's high-quality musicianship tended to get overlooked. Guitarist Reb Beach earned wide praise from other musicians, and he, ex-Dixie Dregs ...

Strangeways music CDs

2003 reissue of the Scandinavian dark metal act's 1992 album features six tracks plus an exclusive multimedia enhanced interview with the band (Chapter 2), packaged in a digipak. Peaceville.
Heavy metal has always championed the darker things in life, but whatever they might say in their interviews, most bands are really just mugging for the press, fronting a fantasy image for the benefit of their impressionable young fans. But all bets are off when it comes to the infamous Norwegian black metal scene, where in the early '90s popular bands like Mayhem, Emperor, and Burzum saw key members charged with real-life ...

Strangeways songs

LYRICS FOR LOVERS is a 1960 album of pop standards by actor Dirk Bogarde.
In the tradition of popular actors who can't really sing making records, Dirk Bogarde made his one and only album in 1960, at a time when he'd become one of Britain's leading film stars. And, like some other actors who've been cajoled into the studio to make albums in order to exploit their popularity, Bogarde opted to recite lyrics rather than actually sing them. This treatment was given to 12 standards by the likes of Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Hoagy Carmichael, and George Gershwin, with Bogarde languidly and dramatically intoning over a lush easy listening orchestral backing supplied by the Eric Rogers Orchestra. (Actually Bogarde recorded his vocals accompanied only by piano, the orchestral strings added later.) Certainly this is neither a noteworthy musical endeavor nor anything more than a footnote in Bogarde's estimable career. The arrangements are mushy, and Bogarde's recitations on the likes of "The Way You Look Tonight," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," and "As Time Goes By" sentimental to the point of verging ...

Strangeways songs
$12.59
A band out of place, if not entirely out of time, Orange County, CA's Morgion trod a relatively lonely funeral march into the cobwebbed mausoleums of death/doom metal during their protracted yet oft-interrupted career. Over the course of 15-odd years beginning in 1990, the group toured sporadically at best and managed a measly two-and-a-half albums' worth of material before going their separate ways; ultimately bequeathing only shadowy, scattered remnants of their frequently inspired musical legacy to a small group of enlightened metal fans. But Relapse Records' 2008 anthology, The Morgion Collection, will hopefully remedy this somewhat with its timely remastering and re-introduction of the band's 1997 mini-album, Among Majestic Ruin, its full-length successor, 1999's Solinari, and a handful of previously unreleased tracks, demos, and outtakes. Disc one of this double set opens, wisely enough, with Morgion's practically inarguable creative peak via the Solinari album, whereupon their tectonic mega-riffs were deliberately thrust like broken hilltops over a glacial, barren landscape of Lovecraft-ian atmospheric synthesizers, and topped with the roiling thunderclouds of Jeremy Peto's growling vocals and ghostly baritones. The very definition of majesty in decay, awesome creations like "The Serpentine Scrolls," "Nightfall Infernal," and "All the Loss" still compare with the best funeral death/doom ever conjured, and the similarly impressive songwriting revealed by the previously unheard tracks, "Mundane" and "Symphonie der Gravens" (recorded around the same time for the never released Oceans Without Shores EP -- along with an extended version of "Canticle") are bound to ensure the satisfaction of old fans who already owned the original albums. By comparison, the band's aforementioned first record, Among Majestic Ruin, which kicks off disc two, sounds surprisingly lush -- although the incremental keyboard backdrops framing colossally dismal excursions like of (get a load of these titles!) "Relic of a Darkened Past," "In Ashen Tears (Thus I Cry)," and "Basking Under a Blacksun Dawning," hardly sound any more uplifting. Maybe in another, far darker and more sinister dimension ...
