Each musical direction is included in this week's release overview.

The album is filled with heavy, intricate, and precisely performed guitar riffs. Ghost Reveries is available as a limited edition of 4.000 individually numbered copies on coloured (transparent with a touch of black) vinyl. Tanita Tikaram recorded a wistful and melancholy work when she was only 19 years old. It showed a woman with a lot of life experience. The album marks the poignant beginning of Tikaram's remarkable career and is available as a limited 30th anniversary edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on clear vinyl. The package includes a handwritten note by Tanita.

Taj Mahal is the debut album by the American blues artist of the same name. The whole record is a compelling sound collage of stylistic and technical achievements. We celebrate Taj Mahal 50th anniversary with a special edition of 1.500 individually numbered copies on transparent blue vinyl. Quirine Viersen returns to the cello suites of Johann Sebastian Bach.
