TARJA “From Spirits And Ghosts (Score For A Dark Christmas)” /CD/

The second live album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer, and she’s band.
As we all know, Nightwish and Tarja decided to break up. The Finish singer with the enormous voice decided to continue releasing solo albums - four up till now. Next to those long plays, she also had two live releases for now.
Knowing that her husband, Marcelo Cabuli, is from Argentina, it isn't a too big step to understand that this country became almost a second home for Tarja. And what is also more obvious than recording a show in Buenos Aires. The concert from this live release took place in 2011. It was March 27 when Tarja performed a show in the Luna Park in Buenos Aires
"Luna Park Ride" is a documentation of Tarja's live skills, and is definitely a collector's piece. Tarja performs her songs sovereignly live on stage. Whether they are solo songs like the powerful "I Walk Alone" and "I Feel Immortal" or even some Nightwish songs like "Stargazers" or "Wishmaster" - she always gets the crowd going with her flesh-crawling voice and this record might be also of interest for old Nightwish fans who still mourn her leaving of the popular Finnish Symphonic Metal band as she remained in a similar field musically, being more Rock and less Epic than the band that made her famous, though. 
If you've ever been to a Tarja live show and loved it, this is a great way to keep the memories alive. "Luna Park Ride" consists of two CDs, featuring a recording of her live show in Buenos Aires' Luna Park and recordings of various festivals she performed at in Europe. It was mixed by Tim Palmer, who has found the perfect balance between keeping the recordings organic and polished. These two CDs makes something special and exciting for fans of Tarja and female fronted bombastic Metal.

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer and she’s band.
"Colours In The Dark" is riskier than Tarja’s previous three solo albums. The album is a huge panorama of Operatic Metal, where some artistic experimentation is attempted, but repeatedly crushed under the album’s bombast. The dramatic scope of the strings and choirs, guitars and woodwinds, arrangement and high-gloss presentation is truly wondrous.
Tarja Turunen’s voice is a force of nature, dominant and dominating. The former lead singer for Nightwish fills her lungs and turns "Colours In The Dark" into the fury of the four winds. From the bombastic opener “Victim of Ritual” to the exquisite closer “Medusa”, in which she shares her hurricane-proof microphone with Blue October’s Justin Furstenfeld, "Colours In The Dark" is a colossal battle royal of operatic soprano, keyboard orchestra and Alex Schlopp’s ENGL amplifier madness. 
On "Colours In The Dark", the guitars are to die for, so to speak. The rhythm section is perfection and above all, Christian Kretschmar’s keyboards are magical. There are many instances where the orchestral emulation invokes the old question, is it The Hamburg Philharmonic or is it a bank of Access synthesizers?
The name of the album, as the cover image, came as a metaphor from the idea that life has a large range of colours and the dark absorbs all of them, containing every colour. Titles of the album's songs were revealed from times to times through Tarja's blog, like she did with "My Winter Storm" (2007). The album's name came out of the song "Until Silence". This is the third time the album's name came out of one of the songs. The artwork and some promotional pictures for this album were taken mainly in India during the What Lies Beneath World Tour in 2011. 
This is definitely one of the brightest albums in Rock in 2013 and proves to be a milestone for Heavy Symphonic Rock.
The Special Edition includes a download code for the studio version of "Into the Sun", special designed slip case, hard-book cover and 40-page booklet.
