New release:

Lou Reed has finalized details of the digitally re-mastered edition of his seminal 1975 album, “Metal Machine Music”. Reed will release the album in the UK on April 19th on his independent label ‘Sister Ray’ in the following three formats – double gatefold vinyl in quadraphonic sound, audio DVD and Blu-ray. The album coincides with Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Trio UK concerts at the Cambridge Junction (April 17), Oxford O2 Academy (April 18) and London Royal Festival Hall (April 19, part of the Ether Festival). Lou did the digital re-mastering from the original multi-tracks with the help of Scott Hull. This is a new and improved re-mastered version, and is different from all previous releases on the RCA, Buddha and Sony affiliated labels.

New release:

Icon Home Entertainment announced the May 10th DVD and Blu-ray release of Sam Taylor-Wood’s critically acclaimed rock and roll John Lennon film biopic "John Lennon – Nowhere Boy". "Nowhere Boy" perfectly captures the essence of John Lennon’s teenage years and his introduction to music – from first band The Quarrymen – to his early relationship with Paul McCartney and George Harrison, all of which culminates in the formation of The Beatles and their historic trip to Hamburg. Featuring a screenplay from Matt Greenhalgh (Joy Division biopic "Control"), "Nowhere Boy" boasts a wealth of British talent, including a career-defining performance from Aaron Johnson (Kick Ass) as the young John Lennon, plus outstanding BAFTA nominated Best Supporting Actress performances from Kristin Scott Thomas as Aunt Mimi and Anne Marie Duff as Lennon’s mother Julia. The DVD and Blu-ray release of “Nowhere Boy” is jam-packed with a dazzling array of bonus features; including director’s audio commentary, extended interviews, deleted scenes and several exclusive featurettes, including “Lennon’s Liverpool” and “The Re-creation of the Quarrymen”.

New release:

“Plastic Soup” is the first album of the new progressive rock band PBII, the successor to the well-known Plackband of the 70s and 80s, often called the Dutch Genesis. Plastic Soup, however, has a sound that is absolutely 2010: modern, fresh and rocky but still with some great symphonic influences of the past. Stylistically, you could place it somewhere between Genesis, Marilion, Porcupine Tree, Spock’s Beard and Linkin Park. Special guests include John Mitchell (Arena, Frost), John Jowitt (IQ, Frost) and Heidi Jo Hines. Though not a concept album, the central theme of the album is the environment. PBII wishes to get more attention to this environmental problem. “Plastic Soup” is the new worldwide Progrock Records release from PBII.
