DarkCompass Hard Rock Hell Radio DarkCompass brings you some of the best New Independent and Unsigned Music Every Week, from around the world. Alben für die Ewigkeit audiowest, Freddy Kappen, Stephan Kleiber, Dieter Kottnik Es gibt Alben, die sind etwas Besonderes. Da ist nicht einfach nur Musik drauf – sondern Musik, die bleiben wird. Vielleicht für immer. Es sind Alben, die die Geschichte der Rock- und Popmusik um entscheidende Entwicklungen bereichert haben. Die nicht nur Erfolg, sondern auch Wirkung haben. Und hier stellen wir sie vor.Bei uns könnt Ihr zeitlose Klassiker der Musikgeschichte kennenlernen. Oder sie noch einmal neu erleben und sozusagen ein zweites Mal kennenlernen. Ihr erfahrt die Geschichten, die hinter diesen Alben stecken: Wann und wo sind sie entstanden? Was lässt sie hervortreten aus der Menge? Warum sind sie so, wie sie sind? Und was ist das Besondere an ihnen? Und: Natürlich spielen wir auch Musik. Jede Menge sogar — denn darum geht‘s ja bei uns. The Music Authority LIVE STREAM Show Jim Prell The Music Authority bringing Power Pop, Rock, Soul, Rhythm & Blues to anyone and everyone who has courage, is brave enough to not follow the crowd, the masses (the “M” is always silent!), trusts in themselves enough to listen to SOMETHING completely DIFFERENT! How did I get here....I worked in radio since High School...WCSQ-FM, onto College at WOCC, to the professional commercial world WKFM, WOSC, WGES, WHEN, WRRB, WPCX, WMBO, WCSP, WMMB, WBVD, WIXC, WHKR. Over the years I noticed that music I enjoyed was not getting played and after leaving the industry for 13 years, I chose to come back and serve the music styles I enjoy and hopefully you will too! The biggest question being asked is "What format is The Music Authority?" And The Answer IS..."Whatever I want to play or whatever my friends and listeners ask for!” HCR 01 CHRISTMAS ROCKHESTRA LIE77777 Holiday Christmas Rock Music
