Prince – Piano & A Microphone 1983
The first real release after Prince’s demise, the Estate delivers Piano & A Microphone 1983, whose recordings have been available for years amongst collectors. A good idea?
David Bowie – Welcome To The Blackout (Live London ’78)
Finally a ‘real’ document of the famous Isolar 2 tour from 1978. Bowie tours behind Low and “Heroes”, the best within his body of work. Essential release!
Altın Gün – On
Altın Gün. A band from Amsterdam that plays funky Turkish psychedelic folk rock. It sounds great and truly is funky. Their first album On comes highly recommended!

My Name Is Prince: The official exhibition is in Amsterdam. After success in London now also great success in Amsterdam? A review.
Kamasi Washington – Harmony Of Difference
After the epic impressive debut The Epic 2 years ago, Kamasi Washington is the jazz-man to keep an eye on. Is that still the case after the release of Harmony Of Difference?
Neil Young – Hitchhiker
In 1976 Neil Young recorded 10 songs in one session. He shelved the album, until now. Hitchhiker is finally released in 2017. A review.
LCD Soundsystem – American Dream
LCD Soundsystem was my favorite band of the start of the 21st century. After 7 years new material sees the light of day. Is the reunion really such a good idea?

David Bowie’s 1974 tour released in a beautiful document. Given Bowie´s state at the time it is amazing he could stand, let alone give this kind of great shows.

Prince – Deliverance
Deliverance is a new Prince EP, which is supposed to be released on April 21st 2017. However, right-ssues make the release uncertain. A review.
Soulwax – From Deewee
The eighth album by Soulwax is called From Deewee and is a perfect combination of rock and dance. With no less than three drummers the beats are massive and addictive.
Spoon – Hot Thoughts
Who would have thought that Spoon would fuse funk and rock into a great unity? Not me, and yet there was Hot Thoughts. A great album!
