Supervielle: Rêverienew
Luciano Supervielle's second solo album, Rêverie, brilliantly sequences live and studio recordings to spin a concert that is almost symphonic in scope, but the French-Uruguayan composer (and keyboardist for Bajofondo) draws his tonal pictures from a small group of instrumentalists who speak jazz, tango, and rock fluently with the sweet accents of the Río de la Plata.

The Rolling Stones: Some Girlsnew
The Rolling Stones' last perfect album arrived at a crossroads for the band. They were coming off a string of disappointing albums in the wake of Exile on Main St., their greatest achievement, and, in a turn of the tides lost on no one, disco had replaced rock 'n' roll on the radio in the summer of 1978.
