This week\u2019s selection kicks off with Diamond Star Halos<\/em><\/strong>, the brand-new album from Def Leppard<\/strong> and their first since 2015\u2019s chart-topping self-titled record. Written by the band over the past two years, the album features 15 tracks including the anthemic, stadium-ready singles \u2018Kick\u2019 and \u2018Fire It Up\u2019, with guest vocals from Alison Krauss on \u2018This Guitar\u2019 and \u2018Lifeless\u2019. The title Diamond Star Halos<\/em> references T.Rex\u2019s \u2018Bang A Gong (Get It On)\u2019, and there are nods to Marc Bolan, David Bowie and Mott The Hoople across the album, which mixes the sound of Def Leppard\u2019s classic spirit with modern fire.<\/p>\n

For the first time in over a decade, 20 of the Sex Pistols<\/strong>\u2019 recordings from 1976 to 1978 are collected together to tell the story of one of the world\u2019s most influential and extraordinary bands. The tracks here cover the entire initial period of the band\u2019s recording career \u2013 from \u2018Anarchy In The UK\u2019 through Never Mind The Bollocks<\/em> to the post-John Lydon Great Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll Swindle<\/em> soundtrack featuring early demos, cover versions and more. The compilation is completed by some essential B-sides \u2013 \u2018I Wanna Be Me\u2019 (the flipside of \u2018Anarchy\u2026\u2019), \u2018Satellite\u2019 (the B-side of \u2018Holidays In The Sun\u2019) and \u2018Did You No Wrong\u2019 (from \u2018God Save The Queen\u2019).<\/p>\n

Daft Punk<\/strong> cited Wendy Carlos, the composer of the original Tron film, as inspiration for the score of Tron: Legacy<\/em><\/strong>, as well as Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Maurice Jarre. The soundtrack, which features an 85-piece orchestra recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London, received awards from both the Austin Film Critics Association and the International Film Music Critics Association and was nominated for the 54th Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

The genesis of the idea for Bob Marley & The Chineke! Orchestra<\/strong> came via the acclaimed cellist and 2016 BBC Young Musician of the Year Sheku Kenneh-Mason OBE. Although now a full-time solo artist and no longer an active Chineke! member, it was Kenneh-Mason\u2019s pioneering and original arrangements of Marley\u2019s \u2018No Woman, No Cry\u2019 and \u2018Redemption Song\u2019 that initially captured the attention and appreciation of Tuff Gong and the Bob Marley estate, and so the Chineke! musical journey, via Abbey Road Studios, began.<\/p>\n

Acid Jazz presents Forward Thinker<\/em><\/strong>, the second LP from Glasgow-based jazz ensemble Nimbus Sextet<\/strong>. Led by Joe Nicholls, the ensemble emerged in 2020 with their debut, Dreams Fulfilled<\/em>, and a series of remixes and singles on Acid Jazz, establishing them as one of the most exciting jazz groups in the UK. The band offered a taster of the new album in January with \u2018To The Light\u2019, play-listed by Jazz FM, alongside a debut at Ronnie Scott\u2019s and a series of live dates. Forward Thinker<\/em> is an exuberant, innovative and uplifting second effort that sees the band stepping out of the turbulence of the last couple of years with a positive message and buoyant outlook.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is C\u2019mon You Know<\/em><\/strong>, riding on the huge success of Liam Gallagher<\/strong>\u2019s previous studio albums, As You Were<\/em> (2017) and Why Me? Why Not<\/em> (2019), which have established his iconic status for a whole new generation. His MTV Unplugged<\/em> also went straight to number 1 on the album chart. Between his triumphs as a solo artist and his phenomenal success with Oasis, Liam has spent a combined total of almost six months at number 1 across eleven chart-topping albums, and C\u2019mon You Know<\/em> looks set to add plenty more weeks to that figure.<\/p>\n
