THE STEREOGANG IIThe StereogangWhat? You Like 80's & 90's Hard Rock?I stumbled upon The Stereogang through a post on "X". I found a couple tracks on YouTube and I was hooked! This is their second album and you will definitely want the first! A new band, that brings you the sound and song styles of the 80's and 90's bands you may have grown up with or influenced you to listen to old school rock! You can hear hints of bands like Kiss and Motley Crue in their music. They are a tight band and have a great Rock & Roll sound!

J. S. Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier / All [SACD Hybrid] [Import Disc w/ Japanese obi] [Tower Records Limited]Friedrich GuldaClassic Gulda in superior soundThese classic MPS recordings, which have undergone numerous releases on RBCD on different labels (e.g. Philips), have never sounded better than on this set of 4 hybrid SACDs. Although MPS remastered the tapes a few years earlier, this new remastering (in genuine DSD) for this Tower Records release was done by Christoph Stickel in Vienna, using the original tapes. I've been fascinated by these recordings for over 30 years, and I can say that you won't get a better-sounding version of these recordings.

High School D x D HERO Rias Gremory Bunny Ver. 2ndAmazingLooks even better in person. Especially with the details and overall size of the figure. Definitely a must have.

Mahler : Symphony No. 2 [Resurrection] (2024 Remaster) [Tower Records Limited] [SACD Hybrid]Claudio Abbado, Chicago Symphony OrchestraImpressive recording and remasteringSymphonies 4 (Vienna Philharmonic), 5 and 6 (Chicago SO) were released a few years ago as SHM SACDs, which sound excellent thanks to their remastering (Emil Berliner Studios). Now Tower Records has commissioned Emil Berliner Studios to remaster the 2nd Symphony (Chicago SO) for hybrid SACD. I listened to the SACD last night and am impressed not only by the sound but also by the interpretation. This really is a magnificent, colorful and sonically outstanding recording.

Brahms : Complete Piano Works [Import Disc]Peter RoselSupreme sounding BrahmsThis set of 2 single layer SACD contains Peter Rosel's analogue Eterna recordings made between 1972 and 1974 with Brahms complete works for solo piano and the piano quintett op. 34 f minor. All recordings are newly remastered and it's the first high resolution release of this timeless, respected, although somewhat neglected recordings. The sound is to my ears superb and during listening, I completely forgot the actual age of these recordings. It's hard to overestimate this release - highly recommended!

Pretzel Logic [SHM-SACD]Steely DanExcellentGood band. I have listened to them a lot and decided to buy the SACD. I recommend to others as well.

Bruckner : Symphony Collection (No. 0 No. 5 No. 7 No. 8 No. 9) Live (2023 Mastering) [SACD Hybrid] [Tower Records Limited]Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony OrchestraSkrowaczewski's most impressive BrucknerThese late Japanese live recordings are highly recommended for all Bruckner enthusiasts not only because of the unique, superlative and immersive sound, but also because of the sheer intensity and passion of the music making. This is an album for the desert island, hands down.

Brahms : Piano Concerto No. 1 No. 2, Schumann : Piano Concerto, Weber: Concertostuck (2024 Remaster) [SACD Hybrid] [Tower Records Limited]Alfred Brendel, Hans Schmidt-Isselstedt, Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Claudio Abbado, London Symphony OrchestraBeautiful recordingsThis set of 2 hybrid SACDs contains some very fine recordings of Brahms piano concertos in gloriously remastered sound. If you have a soft spot (like me) for the 1970s analogue sound and the Concertgebouw orchestra, then you'll love this new release.

[Secondhand] Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon [Complete Edition] 2Naoko TakeuchiFinishes the dark kingdom arcThis volume covers the second half of the dark kingdom arc, and adds the first chapter of the Black Moon arc. I guess it's for teasing a new beginning and not confuse new readers that there's still more content to discover.
