it was 1975 and a mere 24 years since ike turner lit the blue touch paper on rock n roll with the incendiary rocket 88 , when a small independent record company emerged from a couple of second-hand record stores in london. it was just before the fuse was lit on another stage in the rock n roll story with the emergence of punk rock and chiswick records helped strike the match - commencing with the release of the count bishops speedball ep. with the same people at its head, the label evolved into ace records and they are proud to be celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2005. ace has become the leading in-depth catalogue company in the world and has issued a vast amount of the best and most important music released in the us from the time of that first ike turner recording to the launch of their own company. that crucial period forms the core of the extensive ace catalogue. they have often wandered off this central path, with excursions into world music, some home-made recordings of local acts and have investigated beat music from belfast to tokyo. but it is at the heart and soul of rock n roll that you will find ace putting out that wild and frantic, deep and romantic, funky and punky music that will sure nuff turn you on!

the needle-drop fuzz that cues sam amidon s fourth solo album of songs, i see the sign, raises the curtain on a world of little theatres, foretelling of an aural gut-grip that is fully human and wholly natural. amidons intuitive and often radical reworkings of age-old secular ballads, gospel, folk songs, and hymns render familiar characters new through his direction, vision, vocals, banjo, guitar, and stellar contributions from fellow musicians.

josh groban glaenzt auf seinem gleichnamigen album mit einer wirklich ausgereiften stimme. neben der lyrischen bearbeitungen von morricones klassiker -cinema paradiso- und den neu-interpretationen von don mcleans -starry, starry night- und albert hammonds -alejate- finden sich auch meisterhaft gekonnte dramatische darbietungen der neapolitanischen lieder -alla luca del sole- und -canto alla vita- (letzteres zusammen mit den corrs). viele der hier von groban dargebotenen lieder, einschlie§lich einer bearbeitung von bachs -jesu, joy of man s desiring- (-jesu, meine freude- mit lili haydn) im stil einer progressiven rock-oper, kommen einem pompoeser und gewagter vor als ihre so geschaetzten musikalischen vorbilder. ein deutlicher hinweis dafuer, dass die gro§e opernbuehne nicht mehr weit entfernt sein kann. und das waeren wirklich nicht die schlechtesten aussichten.
