Demon Music Group 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Their latest release in the Marc Bolan Songwriter series, following on from the success of Songwriter: 1970 and Songwriter: 1971, Demon Records are introducing Songwriter: 1973 to their catalogue. An intimate, vinyl-only look into the influential artist's prolific output, Songwriter: 1971 delves into a period of change during which Bolan was more active than ever, recording music incessantly in recording studios in both the US and Europe - an era in which the distinctive T Rex sound was becoming increasingly limiting for the artist. Over the course of this in depth sixteen-track compilation, featuring a fascinating selection of finished recordings and working versions, this next chapter charts Bolan's attempts to develop and ultimately move away from the sound he had invented for himself.

Review: Could this be the definitive '90s dance compilation? Will we ever need another? Likely not, thanks to the legends over at Demon Music. This new double LP is packed full of known names from Crystal Waters to Tori Amos and Fatboy Slim, but chin-strokers, be not afraid; beyond a remix of 'Gypsy Woman', the selections on this comp are far from obvious. This is an album curated by someone with direct experience of the Second Summer of Love, not just a distant admirer or lurker.
