White Willow, one of Norway's most successful Progressive Rock bands of recent times, return after a five year absence with Terminal Twilight.

Creating a distinctively mysterious Scandinavian sound that encompasses mellotron-drenched retro prog, gothic folk, art pop and post-rock, the band's ambitious compositions combine sophisticated structures and harmonies with powerful playing and uncluttered production.

Main songwriter Jacob Holm-Lupo is joined by fellow band members, Sylvia Skjellestad, Mattias Olsson (Anglagard), Lars Fredrik Froislie (Wobbler's vintage synth maestro), Ketil Einarsen (Jaga Jazzist) and Ellen Andrea Wang. No-Man's Tim Bowness guests on the poignant Kansas Regrets.

Soaring Hackett-esque solos collide with demented Crimson-influenced riffs counterbalanced by compelling and ethereal song sections.

transcending barriers between a variety of genres, Blood was the potent 2009 release from the exceptional duo of Jim Matheos (Fate's Warning) and Kevin Moore (Chroma Key, ex- Dream Theater).

2 CD edition (jewel case)

The special cd/dvd edition of Riverside's 2009 'reflection of our constantly changing times'.

A hard-hitting and uncompromising statement.

The dvd features a powerful performance recorded at Amsterdam's renowned Paradiso venue in December 2008.

Critically lauded on its release, A Grounding in Numbers was VDGGs 12th studio album.

Mixed by Hugh Padgham, the album possesses a clarity and depth of sound that sees the veteran VDGG cultivating its unique sound in an emphatically modern way.

Includes the graceful opener Your Time Starts Now and the muscular single Highly Strung.

An idiosyncratic and typically thoughtful Ian Anderson response to the time of mistletoe and holly, The Jethro Tull Christmas album - recorded in 2003 - was an unexpected critical and commercial success.

Featuring an organic folk-rock sound reminiscent of the band's mid to late 1970s incarnations, the album mixes new material, re-recordings of Jethro Tull's own suitably themed material and arrangements of traditional Christmas music.

A seasonal treat in itself, this edition comes with an extra disc featuring a live concert from 2008.

The perfect antidote to this, or any, year's X-Factor chart-topper.

Jethro Tull's entry into the 1970s double live album stakes was the enduring fan favourite Bursting Out.

A new direction for a new decade, 'A' marked a radical departure for Jethro Tull revealing a synth dominated sound far removed from the more rustic approach on preceding releases Stormwatch and Heavy Horses.

Recorded in August 1969, the peerless Bitches Brew paved the way for the 1970s Fusion movement to come.

An impressionistic and uncompromising hybrid of Rock textures and Jazz spontaneity, bearing the immortal tagline 'Directions In Music by Miles Davis', the album went on to be one of the most successful albums in either genre, exerting a huge influence over the musical landscape for decades to come.

An acknowledged inspiration for Soft Machine, Can and Brian Eno, and containing the future players and musical seeds of Weather Report, Mwandishi, Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bitches Brew is a truly must-own album.
