When Anders Trentemöller's album 'The Last Resort' conquered the world by storm four years ago, the Danish multi-instrumentalist already had built up a reputation with a few single productions, advanced to classics by now. The successor to 'The Last Resort', to be released in May, has equal depth and soul, but sounds fresh and different. More than anything the 10 pieces show that TRENTEMÖLLER doesn't hesitate to taking chances, to get new inspiration and step beyond the sonic borders of his debut. Says Trentemöller: “Of course I didn’t want to make the same record again. That would’ve been boring.” Instead he collected new ideas without thinking too much about where the music would lead him. “All I knew was that I wanted the music to be a bit more organic and warmer. It shouldn’t be sounding typically electronic.”- Details

This double CD honours URIAH HEEP’S 40th anniversary as one of Great Britain’s most appreciated Heavy Rock bands. From their first long player in 1970 ‘Very ‘Eavy, Very ‘Umble’ to the rousing comeback with ‘Wake The Sleeper’ in 2008, ‘On The Rebound: A Very ‘Eavy 40th Anniversary Collection’, as the title suggests, comprises at least one track of every album. The artwork is homage to the first album and the fact there’s hardly anything better than a neat power chord. Songs were picked together with bandleader Mick Box and the release contentually differs completely from every previous collection. The tracklist is a feast for a random generator and should be pleasing the die-hard fans as much as the IPod generation, just discovering the music of URIAH HEEP. Additionally there’s a bonus track from the ‘Wake The Sleeper’ sessions, seeing its first time release here.

Europe in support of their new masterpiece “The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR” (OUT NOW!). Last week they stopped by at the European Century Media headquarters in Germany and played a very unconventional and natural unplugged session in company’s warehouse. Sticks and drum set have been replaced by spoons, garbage cans and cereal boxes and with no amplification you can witness ORPHANED LAND as pure and improvised as possible in front of shelves filled with thousands of CD boxes resulting in a very special atmosphere. Some belly dancing was also involved, but that’s a different story…- Details
