Steve Lukather – Candyman [Music On CD Remaster] 2020


‘Candyman’, Steve Lukather’s second solo album was in Japan and the U.S. released as a Los Lobotomys album. It’s a collaboration of musicians who were mostly also in Lukather’s bands Los Lobotomys and Toto.
Most of the album he wrote with The Tubes frontman Fee Waybill and/or keyboard player David Garfield. One song is a Jimi Hendrix cover called “Freedom”, and is sung by The Free and Bad Company front-man Paul Rodgers. The third track “Extinction Blues” is the pure Toto sound and “Party In Simon’s Pants” is a monster drum and guitar fest, pure fusion. The album’s closer is a tribute to Jeff Beck, simply called “Song For Jeff”, pure brilliant with it’s over seven minutes of length.

The new album follows Savoy Brown’s critically acclaimed 2019 album, City Night. “The new album continues the approach I’ve been taking with the band this past decade,” says guitarist/singer/songwriter Kim Simmonds, who formed the band in 1965 in London, England, and is one of the longest running Blues Rock bands in existence. “The big difference with the new album is the multi-layer approach I took to recording the guitar parts. It’s all blues-based rock music. I try to find new and progressive ways to write and play the music I’ve loved since I was a young teenager.”

The Tangent – Auto Reconnaissance 2020


n the past 15 years or so, the world of contemporary progressive rock music has seemed to solidify on bands who either tow the expected traditional lines of the genre, and those who spend a lot of their time denying that they play “prog” at all. And then there’s The Tangent.
‘Auto Reconnaissance’ features a 70 minute menu that includes Prog Rock Foot Stomping, some of the band’s most sublime Jazz to date, humour, narrative, a modern R&B love song(!), straight pop music, funk/soul and a 28 minute long emotional epic about the band’s home country of England, laden with orchestration, jaw dropping instrumentals, melodies and Andy Tillison’s trademark story-telling at its best. Available as a Limited Edition CD Digipak (incl, bonus track).

Vicious Rumors – Celebration Decay 2020


The album was recorded and mixed between November 2019 and February 2020 at the Trident Studios in Pacheco, California, by Geoff Thorpe and Juan Urteaga.

“There’s no other Vicious Rumors release that I worked as hard on as I did on Celebration Decay,” says Thorpe. “After all, when you get the opportunity to bring out a new album, you really have to give it your best shot. Of course that what I did with all other Vicious Rumors cuts, but with a perfectly oiled metal machine like our current line-up, it was even more fun than usual.” And that’s precisely what you hear from every single note on Celebration Decay!
