This album is by far more musically varied compared to the last two albums. Put heavy metal, classical music, jazz, Indian traditional music, Stockhausen, and Xenakis into a cauldron of hell and stir it, you'll get "In Somniphobia". It is a pure sonic nightmare that lasts more than an hour.

This new Orlando, recorded live in 2008, shows Malgoire and his period group to advantage. The orchestra sounds better than it did 30 years ago, undoubtedly the result of continued familiarity with period instruments, which has been evident for many years in recording after recording by period-instrument groups. Malgoire’s leadership retains the virtues of his previous recordings: reasonable tempos, almost never rushed; recitatives that are dramatically and realistically delivered; and a sense that we are listening to warm, living characters, undoubtedly helped by the fact that this is taken from a staged performance.

Another impression, another approach, another vision, another reality. Everything mentioned has nothing to do with this album. Its meaning - the following, one more. Composer decided to continue the ideas of his previous album, to fill them with more depth and to show once again to find several interpretations of similar sounds and movements. Once again he builds and destroys colorful epic images in the blink of an eye, reaching the highest point of the art in the frame of his own minimalistic conception.

The idea of uniting two brief works so that each is the complement of the other is not only an alternative to an otherwise “pedantic presentation”; it strives above all to be a “tribute” to the element of variety evoked earlier. The interaction between the two collections offers a wide array of music which varies in both form and content, but is homogeneous in style and intent.

This is a prominent and engaging attempt to reconstruct the Andalusí-Magrebi music of the Arabic era in Spain. Of course, beyond its intrinsic musical merits, this is an illustrative repertory with interesting implications for the later Spanish & Provençal repertory.

Terrorizer continues on after the death of founding guitarist Jesse Pintado, and 'Hordes of Zombies' is an excellent way to keep Jesse's legacy alive. The album finds founding drummer Pete Sandoval joined once again by returning bassist David Vincent. 14 songs and almost 40 minutes of obliterating death/grind from one of the originators!

Whatever you do, question everything around you and don t simply follow authorities. While this attitude might be associated by some with punk music, it was also adopted by jazz visionaries like Miles Davis and Albert Mangelsdorff. Reinventing yourself, discovering something new, making a clean sweep, being a bit of a rebel and always being driven by creativity this outlook also applies to Michael Wollny, Eva Kruse and Eric Schaefer. Michael Wollny once said that they wanted to have some punk in their jazz. Breaking boundaries is the philosophy of the trio and certainly holds true on Wasted & Wanted .

The Disco Demands series started sometime in the early 2000s - I couldn't give you an exact year because it didn't feel like a big deal, so I never noted it. I simply wanted to put out a compilation of some records I really liked and maybe make a little of the money back I was spending on them. Buy some food and stuff.

18 albums, 21 albums, really depends on how you count, but who's counting and who cares? All that matters is that Rage is still going, and they not only remain prolific but of a super high quality at that! '21' finds Wagner/Smolski/Hilgers returning with one of the fastest, most vicious and most aggressive albums in their impressive discography! This limited edition digipak versions adds a second CD, 'Live In Tokyo.'
