МУЗИКА

Remastered re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
"True Blue" is the album where Madonna truly became superstar - the endlessly ambitious, fearlessly provocative entertainer who knew how to outrage, spark debates, get good reviews, and make good music while she's at it.
What's brilliant about "True Blue" is that she does both here, using the music to hook in critics just as she's baiting a mass audience with such masterstrokes as "Papa Don't Preach", where she defiantly states she's keeping her baby. Her real trick here, however, is transcending her status as a Dance-Pop diva by consciously recalling classic girl group Pop ("True Blue", "Jimmy Jimmy") to snag the critics, while deepening the dance grooves ("Open Your Heart", "Where's the Party"), touching on Latin rhythms ("La Isla Bonita"), making a plea for world peace ("Love Makes the World Go Round"), and delivering a tremendous ballad that rewrites the rules of adult contemporary crossover ("Live to Tell").
It's even harder to have the entire album play as an organic, cohesive work. Certainly, there's some calculation behind the entire thing, but what matters is the end result, one of the great Dance-Pop albums, a record that demonstrates Madonna's true skills as a songwriter, record-maker, provocateur, and entertainer through its wide reach, accomplishment, and sheer sense of fun.
"True Blue" was an immediate global success, reaching number one in then record-breaking 28 countries across the world, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, United Kingdom and United States. It spent 34 consecutive weeks at the top of the European Top 100 Albums chart, longer than any other album in history. It became the world's top-selling album of 1986, as well as the best-selling album of the 1980s by a female artist. With estimated sales of over 25 million copies worldwide, "True Blue" remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. All five singles released from the album reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Live to Tell", "Papa Don't Preach", and "Open Your Heart" peaking at number one.
"True Blue" is credited as being the album which established Madonna's position as the biggest female artist of the 1980s, rivaling male musicians like Michael Jackson and Prince. The album's singles and their accompanying music videos have sparked debates among scholars and social groups. She became the first female artist to receive the Video Vanguard Award at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards in recognition of her impact on popular culture. The album also gave her first appearance on the Guinness Book of World Records.
Re-edition includes two bonus tracks.

The first soundtrack album by legendary American Pop singer.
It was released to promote the film of the same name, "Who's That Girl". The album also contains songs by her label mates Scritti Politti, Duncan Faure, Club Nouveau, Coati Mundi and Michael Davidson. The soundtrack is credited as a Madonna album, despite her only performing four of the nine tracks on the album.
Three of the Madonna tracks were released as Singles. The title track became her sixth number-one Single on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first artist to accumulate six number-one Singles in the 1980s, and the first female performer to get that many number-ones as a solo act. "Causing a Commotion" was released as the second Single, and reached number two on the Hot 100. "The Look of Love" was a European market-only release, reaching the top 10 in the United Kingdom. Another track, "Turn It Up" was a promotional release in the United States, reaching number 15 on the dance charts. "Who's That Girl" received a further promotion from the successful Who's That Girl World Tour.
Although, after its release, the "Who's That Girl" soundtrack received a mostly negative response from critics, it was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 of the album charts of the United States, Austria, Canada, France, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, while topping the charts of Germany, and the European Album chart. The album went on to sell 6 million copies worldwide.

The first compilation album of remixes by legendary American Pop singer.
The album contains remixes of tracks from her first three studio albums, "Madonna" (1983), "Like A Virgin" (1984) and "True Blue" (1986), and a new track, "Spotlight".
In the 1980s, remixing was still a new concept. The mixes on "You Can Dance" exhibited a number of typical mixing techniques. Instrumental passages were lengthened to increase the time for dancing and vocal phrases were repeated and subjected to multiple echoes. The album cover denoted Madonna's continuous fascination with Hispanic culture.
After its release, "You Can Dance" received generally positive reviews from critics, some of whom noted how the already known songs appeared to them in a complete new structure, calling it an essential album to be played at parties. "You Can Dance" was a commercial success, earning a Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for shipment of a million copies, and reaching the top twenty of the Billboard 200. It reached the top ten of the album charts of France, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
It went on to sell five million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling remix album of all time, behind only "Blood On The Dance Floor" of Michael Jackson. "Spotlight" was the only commercial Single released from the album, exclusively in Japan. However, the song was released promotionally in the United States, and due to radio play, the song peaked at number 32 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. "You Can Dance" has been credited for setting the standard with remix albums afterward, both in terms of concept and commercial success on record charts.

Debut (and only one) full-length album by Italian Progressive Metal band.
Honestly, every instrument, including bass, gets equal attention on this CD, and it's damn refreshing. Every instrument has its moments, but they also come together well as a whole. Obviously there's a lot of synth influence, but there's a good number of acoustic sections that caught off guard. The keyboards are tastefully done, and both the ambient and lead patches are pleasing to listen to. Madsword's vocals fit into a Progressive setting perfectly, but also have a lot of Power when it's needed. The band makes good use of them, and leave them plenty of room in the songs. It's hard to judge based on one album, but Madsword is like Dream Theater with more emotion and variety. They're less progressive rhythmically, but have way more unique melodies. Actually, everything on this album sounds great. Prog fans will love The “Global Village”. The album is equally made up of complexity, emotion, and heaviness. The sound is generally futuristic, but the band doesn't go overboard with it or get stale. Nothing heard that sounds quite like this CD that is always a good sign. Check it out if you're a Prog fan, bass player, or producer!!

Debut full-length album by the Greek Sludge/Doom Metal band.
Mahakala from Athens are back with their official debut full-length release. You may remember the band by their debut, self-titled EP which was released on 2007 by Spanish indie label Parade Records. This release, limited to 1000 copies was mainly influenced by old school Punk, early Heavy Rock and the 90’s Stoner/Sludge Rock movement. That the current musical status of the band is a little different. Mahakala in their current release are generating a very special type of sound inspired by the 60s Bluesy sound in its heavier form (Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream) 70s Rock and its fantasy/occult side (Coven, Black Widow, Blue Oyster Cult), the 80s dark side of Classic Heavy Metal (Merciful Fate, Demon) plus the entire wave of occult Rock and Metal bands of 00s (The Devils Blood, Year Of The God, Ghost, In Solitude). They are adding some generous Doom Metal touches on the final mix plus some Heavy Rock references (Spiritual Beggars, Grand Mangus) delivering a heavy as hell, dark and inspired album including some groovy Heavy music.
Some people may think that the band has chosen to follow this musical direction thanks to the big hype that is generated the last years over the wave of the occult Rock and Metal bands playing around, but I if you search more carefully to their discography you would realize that their musical metamorphosis has started on 2009 and their "Pact With The Devil" EP, so for sure the musical approaching of their full length is not a rough work done in a bunch of rehearsals along with the adding of some wannabe lyrics. It was 2009 long before the big hype explosion in 2013.
The point is that in here we got a really inspired record having to offer high quality music with lots of influences. The album is recorded live and it is a fact that the band's really passionate performance gives an ultra vibe to the music, generating an explosive result. It is real difficult to select a specific song from the album as it is listened from the beginning to the end with no stop and here is the current point where mention that here we got a concept album.
The production which is loud, fu***ng heavy and clear does justice to the music. The front cover matches the album's dark concept, and the overall package both on CD and vinyl is fantastic. What else are you asking for a release in order to grab it at no time at all? Come on, offer yourself some dark and inspired music! You deserve it!!

The second full-length studio album by Mexican Death/Doom Metal band.
Majestic Downfall is a project, which recaptures the feeling of the 90’s European Doom Metal scene, and mixes it with some more modern Doom Metal and Depressive Black Metal overtones. The music is somber and melancholic in some moments, while in others it is simply apocalyptic and funereal. You can find here the right way to travel into a true, supreme and mournful Doom Metal world that doesn’t follow trends.
For real fans of early My Dying Bride, Saturnus, Celestial Season, early Katatonia and Forgotten Tomb!

The fifth full-length studio album by Mexican Death/Doom Metal band.
Without a doubt, the fifth album by Majestic Downfall is the strongest band's release to date. Sophisticated compositions, sound and concept: all these elements are perfectly combined to reflect the unique face of the band and their vision of the Doom/Death Metal style, which consists in a refined alloy of heaviness, atmosphere and melody.
The music of despair, the music of pain. Too personal and too emotional to live it through every time, and too beautiful to be able to reject every new listening!

The second full-length studio album by Italian Horror Heavy Metal band.
Originally started as a Black Metal band with screeching vocals, Malamorte from Rome already earned an excellent reputation in the Underground with one EP ("The Fall Of Babylon", 2014) and an album ("Devilish Illusions", 2016).
On their new album, mastermind Lord Vampyr (Cain, Nailed God, ex- Theatre Des Vampires) and his project present unblemished Occult Heavy Metal with some decent Doom impacts. Plaintive yet stirring vocals, influenced by King Diamond, meet up with the outstanding, dark atmosphere of early Death SS classics. Sometimes with a little touch of Black Metal. Doom influenced melodies and dark organ sounds give a decent obscure charm to the album.
 Malamorte will remind you of the Darkthrone albums that draw most of their influence from the first wave bands, alas Bathory, Celtic Frost, etc., and that occasional harmony, or sing-along chorus that’ll leave you stoked by just how catchy it is. That dash of King Diamond, or even influence from modern acts like Tribulation, seem to relate to Malamorte’s material quite a bit, and these meeting points carry a certain energy that makes for a very subtle yet effective get-together between old and new Metal.
"Satan Goes to Heaven to Destroy the Kingdom of God" is packed with tear-jerking guitar leads, catchy sing along choruses, outstanding riffs and an interesting thick crunchy sound, that throws you immediately to an overall atmosphere and aesthetics of devilish music, that’s not afraid to not take itself too seriously. The vocals are decent enough and fit well with the instrumentation, which is frequently accompanied by the sounds of an organ to smooth things naturally into darker realms, how well that works for Malamorte is very obvious upon even the first listening to this album. The true charm of "Satan Goes to Heaven to Destroy the Kingdom of God" is where all these over-lapping influences meet to form one well-shaped piece of fluent consistency and undeniable songwriting quality.
This is an album most Metalheads will enjoy, no matter what type of Metal is your personal cup of tea! And fans of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate will be pleased, without a doubt. Masterpiece!!
