NATIONALGALERIE Herbstbeginn (1992)

Dear Readers,
today it is the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere - and since 1992 there is always one particular song that I get as an earworm a few days before as the title is "Herbstbeginn" - "Beginning of autumn".
It is a very, very catchy tune. Slow and with a positive attitude.
Most of you will not understand the lyrics but I still entrust this to you.
Have a listen...

MICHAEL HEAD AND THE STRANDS The Olde World (Introducing The Strands)

 

 

I don't know if this album "officially" exists... And if it does, if it circulates under the name "Introducing The Strands" (under which I got it) or "The Olde World" (under which there is a cover available and a vinyl release as well).

I suppose, there is a sufficient reason for alternative 2.

So, here we go:

The "lost genius and among the most gifted British songwriters of his generation" [to quote the NME]... with demos and live tracks plus alternative mixes.

THE RIFLES Big Life (2016) New album out August 19th

A little appetizer... The pre-order download tracks:

04 Numero Uno

06 Wall Around Your Heart

Sounds like this is gonna be a brilliant album. It better should be...

Supplement on 26Jul2017:
Received news and a review on the album.
7 of 18 songs "falter", which - in plain words - means 39% rubbish. Even more as the review writer is
a) a mod
b) a brilliant britpop DJ
c) a very nice guy
So my expectations are kind of low.
