Released in 1984, Spirits is the transitional record in Ian Boddy's catalog. Indeed, its five tracks are split neatly down the middle, with the first half of the album continuing with the synth pop sounds of some of his earlier records -- the Ultravox-like "Living in a Ritual" even has vocals, a rare occurrence in Boddy's musical world -- while the two lengthy tracks on the latter half of the album, "Spirits" and the almost Gregorian-sounding "Lamalode," prefigure the ambient electronica that would be his primary focus from this point forward.

It is unmistakably Yanni, but with a fresh, edgy new sound.

Album released in Spain in 1970 by Columbia Decca Phase 4 Stereo. This recording is a true spectacle performed by jazz trumpeter Kenny Baker English (1921-1999) and accompanied by the orchestra of the famed British director Roland Shaw. Of his vast and splendid career can mention that Baker performed alongside world-class artists as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett and even The Beatles, as well as several soundtracks of the films of James Bond. From him it was said that 'he was for jazz what the Rolling Stones to rock'. His demise marked the end of an era of global trumpeters, who were able to reach the virtuosity on the trumpet, making a brilliant capacity for imagination and expression, we have not come to enjoy since.

Basia never had too many hits, racking up only three charting singles on the Top 100 ("Time and Tide," "New Day for You," "Cruising for Bruising"), but Clear Horizon: The Best of Basia remains an engaging listen nevertheless, because it balances those hits with strong album tracks and forgotten singles. Unlike many artists with a handful of hits, Basia made fully realized albums, but since none of them were drastically dissimilar in style, this compilation works very well. Not only is it the ideal choice for the curious and casual fan, it is truly entertaining for the hardcore fan, since it rounds up all the best cuts on one disc.

Ultrabass is a project of Peter Sawatzki (founder of german synthband Boytronic). Here he takes his electronic skills to a new dimension. He released two albums before he died, "Planet SYS" and "Trance Beats". He invented the chill out genre with the ethnic influences. He deserves a lot more credit than he got. Sawatzki was a musical genius who the world totally ignored. It is pretty hard to obtain his CDs, but buy this one if you get the chance. Perfect to play while driving or relaxing at home.

Exotic Creatures of the Deep is the twenty-first album by Sparks. Ron Mael injects rock instrumentation into still predominantly classical orchestrations, but the tunes themselves are more wide-ranging than on the last album. Melodic highlights come fast and furious. The formula is simple – to merge pure rock melody with classical stringed grandeur. It can be argued that Sparks’ sound is now as conceptual as it can possibly get. Multi-layered sounds pour out of the speakers, almost drowning you in lushness.

A Prince protege, Chavez (David Sylvian's ex wife) made news when she claimed she'd written, but received no credit for, Madonna's "Justify My Love" (Chavez was proved in the right). Her style is unusual, consisting of breathy spoken passages over a heavy dance beat. Her self-titled debut album could lead to greater things. ...this product was recorded, cut and mixed by the legendary Michael Koppelman. Ingrid's claim to fame is that she brought that exotic, sultry spoken lyrical feel (see Madonna's Justify My Love and Janet's spoken parts on songs like That's the Way Love Goes and her own tunes in Graffiti Bridge) to female pop music.
