After six studio albums and a live one with Presence, more several collaborations, - some very prestigious - singer Sophya Baccini realizes her first CD as soloist, a concept called "Arada". The work faithfully reflects Sophya's career: enriched by a dense rank of guests, it shows a huge and variegated background. What is more, she is also the pianist, arranger and composer of all tracks. Made by a long 13 parts suite, more 4 songs and a Joni Mitchell's cover, "Circle Game", called to close the circle, the CD is immersed in symphonic, dark, sometimes Gothic atmospheres, even thanks to the sound of various acoustic instruments, such violin, piano, accordion, bouzouki, classic guitar, sided by Mellotron, Mini Moog, Modular Moog and vintage synths. All is framed by the mighty harmonies of voices and a beautiful electric guitar. During the listening, you meet the Lino Vairetti's voice (Osanna), the Martin Grice's flute and tenor saxophone (Delirium), the Stefano Vicarelli's Modular Moog (Fonderia), the Ana Torres (Universal Totem Otchestra) and Nona Luna's voices (Iconae), and on drums you find Aurelio Fierro jr. A video track is included as a bonus. An unique disk, an incredible surprise for female Rock - Sophya is a true pioneer of that - and a lashing of energy for all Progressive Music right now.

Tomas Kalnoky (here under the stage name Toh Kay) has been the lead singer and songwriter of Streetlight Manifesto for the better part of the last decade. On his full length debut for Pentimento Music Co, he's recorded 10 classic tracks from his band's repertoire, in a simple folksy style; one finger-style acoustic guitar and one hushed voice.For about 150 nights every year, Toh Kay is on a stage at his ''day job'', sweating profusely and screaming until his voice is hoarse. Naturally, when he comes home the last thing he wants to do is plug in an electric guitar and continue the noise. Instead, an old nylon string acoustic guitar comes out of its case; songs are fingerpicked, lyrics are more whispered than sung. No overdubs, no other musicians, not even a pair of headphones are welcome in the studio when it's time to record. Just a single wooden instrument and a room full of quiet. With songs on subjects as broad as morality, mortality, heaven, hell and whatever may lie between the two, the music is written and recorded in a dark, quiet room, so it's no surprise that it's best listened to in that sort of setting.

The AXL USA 1216 Artist features Seymour Duncan Seth Lover ... Read more

The AXL USA 1216 Artist features Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups - one of the most authentic sounding PAF-style hum buckers made today - co-designed by Seymour Duncan and the inventor of the hum bucker, Seth Lover. Under the hood, CTS pots are connected by cloth- covered wire, just like the famed original guitars that inspired this version. We use Orange Drop capacitors and feature a unique "volume kit" that keeps the treble frequencies at the same level the player desires even when the volume pot itself is rolled off. TonePros' tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece are used to get the most tone and sustain possible, as well as the added convenience of the TonePros locking mechanisms. We hand press every fret with some of the highest quality fret wire available; we level and dress them for flawless playing in any register. Add features like a solid mahogany body and set neck, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and a Graphtech Tusq nut, and this guitar is 100% stage ready right out of the box. The USA 1216 Classic model features all of the above but substitutes AXL Alnico pickups and is offered at a lower cost with factory bridge/tailpiece and no "volume kit." Minimize

From the same series and built with the same appointments as the best-selling RD-06, the RP-06 sports a solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides. The 12-fret neck joint and corresponding bridge positioning give the RP-06 the warm, mellow, full-bodied tone guitarists look for in a classic 12-fret model. With a 1-3/4 inch nut, the RP-06 is comfortable for either fingerpicking or strumming. The vintage 0-style body is great for travel, stage or couch, and thanks to the 25.4 inch scale, still has the same volume and projection as a full size instrument. The simple, unadorned headstock and the tortoise body binding are integral characteristics of Recording King Classic Series guitars, but don't let the minimal ornamentation fool you, the RP-06 is built by the same artisans who craft our popular ROS-626 instruments. No matter your playing style, these guitars have the features to impress both advanced and recreational players and can even fit in an airline compartment. The RP-06 has vintage style that's familiar as an old friend, but won't cramp your style or wallet. Minimize
