Johann Sebastian Bach was an incredibly good "recycler" of his own music and reused much of what he had already composed in a different form. For the concerts of the Collegium Musicum, which had been taken over from Telemann, in the famous Caf Zimmermann, he needed a large number of instrumental pieces. This was also a special opportunity to perform music for up to four harpsichords - a field of experimentation that must have been extremely appealing to Bach as a legendary keyboard virtuoso.

Scott McMicken has always thrived on switching things up. As a founding member of Philadelphia rock mainstays Dr Dog, McMicken and his bandmates consistently explored new sounds and new ways of writing songs across 10 gleefully eclectic albums before their 2021 hiatus.

Fearless creates a world you want to spend time in. Lavish epics married with concise pop song ideals. Sonic landscapes imbued with feeling and focus, each one flowing into the next. 9 tapestries of tone, where atmospheric swathes morph into strident guitars, dexterous polyrhythms and gnarly basslines. Light and dark. Mist and thunder.

Although he naturally composed a great deal for the organ, Vierne was also a great symphonist, an outstanding colourist and melodist. A complete musician, he composed about ten works of chamber music, refined and inherited from his romantic masters (Wagner, Widor and Franck mainly). Also an accomplished pianist, he loves to accompany singers and instrumentalists and knows how to subtly marry timbres, as this recording shows.

Fusing futurist rock and spectral electronics with elegant atmospheres and wild guitars, "To The Bone" references the hugely ambitious Progressive Pop records that inspired Wilson in his teens (Peter Gabriel’s "So", Talk Talk’s "Colour of Spring", Tears for Fears’ "Seeds of Love" etc). Lyrically, the album’s eleven tracks encompass the paranoid chaos of the post-truth era and the creeping self-loathing of the technology age, as well as steely fly-on-the-wall observations of the everyday lives of religious fundamentalists and a welcome shot or two of wide-eyed escapism. A gloriously dynamic Modernist Pop record, "To The Bone" is Steven Wilson's fifth offical solo album and it's a high definition snapshot of the disconcerting times we live in.

Lisa Simone is her own woman, a singer, songwriter and performer whose ability to transcend genres echoes the tradition of her mother, musical icon and pioneer Nina Simone. Blessed with a rich vocal range and a soul-deep understanding of music as a means of healing, empowerment, and celebration, the singer/show-woman released her second jazz-tinged album ‘My World’ in 2016 for French publisher Sound Surveyor Music with upcoming concerts in Switzerland, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

‘Discretion’ is the brand new album by pioneering guitar legend Robert Fripp and flautist/saxophonist Theo Travis made available for Bowers & Wilkins Society of Sound in stunning 24 bit high quality digital format. The music follows on from the duo’s previous album releases and combines almost telepathic interplay with a deep understanding of musical texture and space, the building of long slow melodies, and the creation of slowly shifting harmonic soundscapes.

The collaboration between Theo Travis and Robert Fripp has become something of a familiar musical pairing in recent years. Working in an area of music - improvised duets - normally associated with "difficult" or "austere" music, Travis & Fripp have neatly side-stepped such strictures to produce a body of work that is wholly approachable, frequently tuneful and always surprising in the depth and range of material that can be produced by two instrumentalists."

It’s one thing to fall in love with old-time music and learn how to shred on clawhammer-style Appalachian banjo. It’s another to consciously live the life – hitchhiking and riding the rails while learning your craft and writing about your travels.

Charlie currently splits his time between melancholic piano and the insistent pulse of his already familiar nylon string guitar, delivering extremely characterful songs that are full of feeling and a high level of musical expression. Add to that his warm, distinctive and almost beseeching voice and you have something that is both timeless and blissful.
