Dream Theater – Distant Memories – Live In London 3xCD+2xBlu-ray/4xLP+3xCD (Century Media)

Distant Memories – Live In London brings together selections from 2019’s Distance Over Time, in concert with the full and complete performance of 1999’s Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, in what was one of the most anticipated and historic evenings in Dream Theater history, ultimately becoming this instant classic. The entirety of the band’s The Distance Over Time Tour: Celebrating 20 Years of Scenes From A Memory is a testament to their fans’ long-term appreciation and love for the band as the members themselves recount, expressing that the “tour has been really incredible for all of us in so many ways. We have been supporting our latest work which has been embraced by DT fans all around the world in a way that we are incredibly grateful for, and the two nights we recorded and filmed in London were definitely amongst the best shows of the tour.”

Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band – Straight To You: Live CD+DVD/CD+Blu-ray/2xLP (Mascot Label Group)

It’s been a decade since the Grammy-nominated Live In Chicago, when the ferocity of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band was last captured live. Since then the multi-platinum selling Shepherd has gone from strength to strength, releasing four studio albums and touring the world over several times – from Brazil to Europe, India to Canada and the US to Australia and beyond. The band were only weeks into The Traveler World Tour when the Covid-19 pandemic broke, and the world came to a standstill. This show took place at the famous Leverkusen Jazzstage for the iconic German TV show, Rockpalast on November 25, 2019. [Limited edition red colored vinyl pressing also available.]

Smashing Pumpkins – Cyr CD/2xLP (Sumerian)

The Smashing Pumpkins follow-up 2018’s Shiny And Oh So Bright, Vol. 1: No Past. No Future. No Sun. and usher in the dawn of a new decade with the new 20-track double album, Cyr. Produced by frontman Billy Corgan and recorded in Chicago with original members James Iha and Jimmy Chamblerlin plus longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder, the album comes introduced by the synth-soaked title cut which Corgan likens to a “dystopic folly” and the hooky Cure-leaning “The Colour Of Love”. “This is the first album since the album that came out in 2000, Machina, where me, James [Iha] and Jimmy [Chamberlin] worked on something for a very long time,” Corgan said. “It’s got a greater conceptual base, and it’s probably a wider swath of music. The last one was kind of like, ‘Let’s just jump in, record some stuff real fast, and let it be what it is…’ so I’m excited about this, because we’re kind of back in the lane of taking a risk, and trying to bring something new to the table, as opposed to just aping what we’re known for.” [Limited edition colored vinyl pressing also available.]

mxmtoon – dawn/dusk LP (mxmtoon)

mxmtoon, the Oakland-raised, Brooklyn-based artist and social media personality known for singing and playing the ukulele, is back with a vinyl-only compilation of two thematically interconnected Eps: dawn and dusk. If dawn from earlier this year drew from the gentle optimism and hope found in gorgeous sunrise, dusk is a beautiful exploration of the other side of the emotional duality that is the human experience. dawn and dusk together are at once recalling of mxmtoon’s earlier work while also expanding her sonic horizons more than ever before, an exciting new direction suggesting that the sky is the truly the limit for her artistry.

Tank and The Bangas – Friend Goals 12” (Verve Forecast)

Breakout New Orleans-based funk-soul outfit Tank And The Bangas are fronted by Tarriona “Tank” Ball, a singer and poet who can wail like Patti LaBelle, scold like Millie Jackson, and soliloquize like Jill Scott. Tank and The Bangas won NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2017, leading to a major-label contract with Verve and the 2019 release of Green Balloon, their second studio album. The Friend Goals EP is the Grammy-nominated group’s highly anticipated follow-up endeavor, six-tracks featuring collaborations with CHIKA, PJ Morton, and Duckwrth.

Various Artists – Southeast Of Saturn 2xLP (Third Man)

It makes sense that Detroit had a buzzy, thriving space-rock scene in the ‘90s. What American city’s denizens had a more urgent need to disengage and think outside the grim, post-industrial rustbelt realities? With space-rock (and its close sonic cousin shoegaze) being at once expansive and introspective, it naturally appealed to the young, intelligent artists who gravitated toward its vertiginous orbit. The music of Southeast Of Saturn did not arise organically from metro Detroit’s fertile soil. Locally, garage-rock, goth-rock, neo-hippie groups, and the usual preponderance of adequate bar bands dominated the landscape. Penned “Detroit Space-Rock”, the scene centered on Burnt Hair Records, Burnt Hair CEO Larry Hoffman’s Life According To Larry radio show, Zoot’s Coffeehouse and bands, such as Windy & Carl, Asha Vida, Füxa, Auburn Lull, and Majesty Crush. It was a modern movement of a more traditional “space-rock” sound, influenced less by The Stooges and MC5 and more by Spacemen 3, Loop, My Bloody Valentine and krautrock bands like Can and Neu!. Even the best-known artists on Southeast Of Saturn – Windy & Carl, Majesty Crush, Füxa – never achieved mainstream success, but within the rock underground, they inspired a cultish devotion that burns to this day.

Aesop Rock – Spirit World Field Guide CD/2xLP (Rhymesayers)

Since his debut in the late nineties, Aesop Rock’s writing has been of the highest caliber, but one thing that has continually evolved is his near-flawless and diverse flow, now perfectly infused with his personality and a gift for visual imagery. On Spirit World Field Guide, characters, inanimate objects, and their surrounding environments vividly come to life as Aesop describes each passing moment throughout the album’s twenty-one chapters. Welcome to the Spirit World. Explore with intention. [Limited colored vinyl pressing also available.]

Boris – Absolutego [Reissue/1996] 2xLP (Third Man)

Originally released in 1996, Boris’ 60-minute 13-second debut “single” Absolutego is a trek over a staggering mountain of sound. The tension builds with wave after wave of massive feedback, drums leading into a crushing crescendo of full-band repetition and clarity before descending deeper until finally reaching a surreal dive-bomb purring drone finale. This song takes notes out of the Melvins’ playbook and pushes the sound to its absolute logical and visceral extreme. It sets a solid foundation for why Boris is considered to be one of the most important metal bands of the 21^st century.

Boris – Amplifier Worship [Reissue/1998] LP (Third Man)

First released in 1998, catalog staple Amplifier Worship is Boris’ most intense and unrelenting album to date. Not for the faint of heart, the group incorporates mythic doom-drones, up-tempo psych-sludge and even a refreshing ribbit into their signature concoction of celestial and heavy music. Amplifier Worship is a critical chapter in the Boris canon. The album is a testament to the group’s bullishness in pushing metal to its uncomfortable and unfamiliar edges. And it’s also undoubtedly one of their best.

Bob Marley – Uprising Live!: Live From Westfalenhallen 1980 3xLP (Eagle Rock)

The Uprising Tour ran in Europe from May 30^th to July 13^th, 1980 with five further dates in the US in September. It was Bob Marley’s last tour before his tragically early death in May 1981 at the age of just 36. The tour was in support of the Uprising album released in June 1980. A few days later on June 13^th, the live show from Dortmund’s Westfalenhalle was filmed/recorded for the famous German music TV series Rockpalast and is presented here on orange colored 180gm vinyl with restored audio. Bob Marley and the Wailers are on superb form and deliver a set of hit singles and classic album tracks.
