Liquid Tension Experiment – Liquid Tension Experiment 3 2021


n modern-day progressive rock, it seems as though there is a new supergroup every few weeks. But long before this was the norm, and before musicians were routinely involved in more than one band, there was Liquid Tension Experiment.

Back in 1997, Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic, Sons of Apollo), John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), and Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel), joined forces to create Liquid Tension Experiment. The foursome would release their iconic, self-titled debut album in 1998 and the dazzling follow-up, LTE2 in 1999, creating a dynamic, frantic, and inventive sound all their own. The incredible creativity between the collective would prompt Petrucci and Portnoy to invite Rudess to join Dream Theater, effectively marking the end

Toto – Live In Japan 1980, 2021


Six Grammy’s and another four nominations are to date to book. Of course, late-born people first associate ‘Africa’ or ‘Rosanna’ with the band, undoubtedly great songwriting art and hits.

From these two albums then also the track listing is composed, with which the band played the Japan gig in 1980, which is reproduced in very good sound on this CD.

White Void – Anti 2021


Forged in the vacuum between 70s occult rock, the unapologetic hard rock of the 80s and the British new wave movement, they balance on the event horizon that separates old from new. Aggression from melody. Dream of drive

Continuing to realize that the members of “White Void” originally come from Norwegian black metal, chiptune electronica, as well as pop music and the blues, it becomes clear why “Anti” is a difficult album to categorize. It’s melodic in a gritty way, it’s driven, and it’s riddled with earworms, hooks, and licks. If nothing else, though, it’s its unabashedly cocky gesture that swears deep allegiance to our communal hard rock heritage.
