D’Ercole – Near Death Experience 2024, MP3+FLAC


Album after album, D’Ercole prove to be able to deliver quality melodic hard rock. Sometimes mixed with a dash of progressive influences. So expect 2 epic 8 plus minutes tracks in Holy Ground and Cryin’ Over You. And on occasion they surprise us with adding a reworked version of a classic song. In this case that would be a fantastic beefed up version of Stealin’ from the mighty Uriah Heep.

Of course there will always be foot stomping, air guitar slinging and headbanging tracks for you to enjoy. Whether it’s the opener

V.A. – Heard It On The Radio Volume 5 [Renaissance Records / Rdeg rarities] 2011 , MP3+FLAC


“Heard It On The Radio” CD series were released by the now disappeared Renaissance label comprising long lost 45 rpm singles from the late Seventies / Early Eighties never obtainable on digital format before. Ironically, few or these were radio hits – in fact, many of them are rather obscure – but should have been.

Renaissance’s prime intention was the rescue from oblivion of these good ’80s songs and made them available in good audio quality not only for musicologists and archivists, but for true lovers of the AOR / rock&pop that once ruled FM radio airwaves.

There were 3 volumes (already featured here), while in 2001 two more (Vol. 4 & 5) were presented only as ‘promo’ just to promote original album reissues from some of the
