一个非常出色的德国民谣团，以中世纪风格为主，古朴的唱腔加上特色乐器如风笛、风琴、芦笛等，在1999年刚一出道就被大名鼎鼎的FAME相中成名其旗下一员。
这张是Schandmaul2005年同指挥家Peter Michielsen在德国著名的Circus Krone剧院(希特勒就喜欢在这里做他富有煽动性的讲演)的现场专辑，在管弦乐队的配合下，Schandmaul显得更有生气，构成了现代与古典的最有默契的一场伟大演出。

Precambrian is an album by the German post-metal band The Ocean Collective released in November 5, 2007 on Metal Blade Records. The album has the participation of several musicians, including Caleb Scofield (Cave In, Zozobra, Old Man Gloom), Nate Newton (Converge, Doomriders), Dwid Hellion (Integrity), Tomas Hallbom (Breach), Erik Kalsbeek (Textures) and musicians form the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
The main concept of the album is based around the times of Precambrian, an early part of the formation of Earth. Hadean/Archaean (disc one) is heavy and raw just like their previous album Aeolian while Proterozoic (disc two) is more post-metal-influenced with the inclusion of symphonic and electronic elements like their first album Fluxion.
The production of the album lasted more than six months after their tour in Europe in late 2006. All the drum tracks done by Torge Liessmann and most of the guitar tracks was recorded in Finland. Some of the guitar tracks and all of the vocals, bass guitar, percussion, samples, and various instruments played by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra was recorded in The Ocean's own Oceanland Studio in Berlin, Germany. Additional vocals were recorded in Sweden, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Los Angeles, California and Seattle, Washington in the United States. It was mixed by Andrew Schneider in New York City. Originally the album's mastering dissatisfied Robin Staps so it was remastered in Finland. The artwork was done by Martin Kvamme, who has done artwork for various Mike Patton projects like Fantômas and Tomahawk. The release in both the United States and Europe differed; the U.S. version is in a two disc crystal case while the European version is in a complex digipak case with additional artwork.
Jonas Renkse from Katatonia and Bloodbath was planned to be on the album but due to Katatonia's touring schedule during the production, The Ocean was not able to approach him on time. The Ocean wanted to have Dave Verellen of Botch to participate but he never responded back during production.

又一支来自德国的乐队，成员多达7人，这使得他们的专集包罗万象，既有暗黑的旋律、也有低迷的风围、既有低沉的英式、也有欢快的小电浓郁的低音底蕴下不时加入合成器噪音，加上主唱Claire的清亮嗓音，也该说别有几翻滋味。

It can hardly be believed that I Put a Record On is Gudrun Gut's debut album as a solo artist, considering her key contributions in the Berlin musical underground. Not only is she label-head of Monika Enterprise, she is a founding member of the Berlin bands Mania D., Malaria! and Matador and long before the Wall fell she was a member of Einstürzende Neubauten. With so many references to her credit, it's no wonder that an atmosphere of delicate diversity is built on this record. The listener is unconsciously pulled along into the moods and associations evoked by Gudrun Gut and the way she plays with different sources. Gudrun's preferred style is a kind of minimal techno with a warm sound and a dark timbre. Experienced musician Gudrun Gut allows her new album to radiate with beautiful melancholy like a strong perfume - an invitation to let oneself fall backwards into her warm pulse.

Greatly inspired by life experience, world myths, legends, and their own fervent creativity,German Metal’s most epic storytellers BLIND GUARDIAN continually aspire to define themselves on a whole new level. With their highly-anticipated, orchestral tenth studio album »Beyond The Red Mirror«, they have successfully captured the scope of their essence with unprecedented accuracy.
Contemplating the band’s extremely successful thirty-year career when asked to describe the band’s guiding principles for the creation of this new release, BLIND GUARDIAN guitarist André Olbrich shares: “Nowadays, music tends to be arbitrary and predictable. But we want to keep developing our music.” In October 2012, the band settled into Twilight Hall Studios in Grefrath, Germany with producer Charlie Bauerfeind (SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN) to begin recording »Beyond The Red Mirror«. For the next two years, the band worked relentlessly at infusing their inimitable, emotion-rich music with classical orchestrations within and throughout.
Confesses BLIND GUARDIAN vocalist & lyricist Hansi Kürsch. “Thanks to ‘Sacred Worlds” and ‘Wheel Of Time’ [from 2010’s »At The Edge Of Time« album], I can say that we have learned a lot about scoring, recording, and mixing when it comes to such music.” Working with three different classical choirs – Prague (the Czech Republic), Budapest (Hungary) and Boston (United States) – plus two grand orchestras featuring 90 musicians each, have generated absolutely spellbinding results that - at key moments - mimic the feeling of flying, making this new album everything BLIND GUARDIAN fans have been hoping for.
Gracing the cover and pages of this musical masterpiece is artwork by long-time collaborator Felipe Machado.Hansi reveals. “He truly is a magician. Whenever I throw in a few mumbling words, he comes back with art. It is amazing.”
These ten new tracks will transport the listeners - via a mysteriously powerful red mirror - into an otherworldly dimension that includes tyrants, gods, and the Holy Grail. And it’s no coincidence that »Beyond The Red Mirror« bears strong lyrical ties to 1995’s »Imaginations From The Other Side«, for we are reunited with the young protagonist we first met twenty years ago in the songs ‘Bright Eyes’ and ‘And The Story Ends’ who stood before a magic door, unsure whether to make the leap into a new, unknown world or to stay in his own. Now an adult, the impact of this important moment in the protagonist’s life is the launching point for the entire album.

Sophomore album for the German pop Casanova. 'Rose' is completely free of the 'classic Brit-Pop influences' as one could still hear them on the first album. Looking for comparisons you´d be tending more towards tracks by Sigur Ros, maybe also Simon and Garfunkel or even Suede. Maximilian has become more daring especially with his lyrics, very personal, exposed and denuding they´ve become, poetic and sensual. Produced by Gareth Jones who has worked with Depeche Mode, Moby, Goldfrapp, Wire, Erasure amongst others. Kitty-Yo. 2003.
