Since Klaus Schulze turned 70 last year, a release offensive of his record company has been underway. At the end of 2017, eleven remastered records from the massive catalogue of the Berlin electronics witch were released, in February again as many. And now with "Silhouettes" he has released another studio album with new material. An exertion for a person who currently has to go to hospital regularly.
ROBERT PLANT
The showman must go on
62 years old, nominated for the BRIT Awards - Robert Plant doesn't give the impression that he wants to hang up the microphone so quickly.

YES
game without limits
"Art comes from skill!" - many retroprog acts almost defiantly carry this slogan in front of them. "Genius comes from enjoyment!" - this witty word of Ernst Penzoldt one would like to hold out to the often grim musicians. A treat is what Yes, the progenitors of "Retro-Chic", have been serving up to the progressive rock world for 40 years now: In their best moments, the group has displayed a playful sophistication and lightness that are unmatched to this day. We honor the British Symphonic Prog princes with a three-part feature.
