The band consists of Lenny Rutledge (guitar), Joseph Michael (vocals), George Hernandez (bass), and Dave Budbill (drums).

Vox Records is a budget classicalrecord label. The name is Latin for 'voice.'

Some Vox releases such as Peter Frankl's Debussy Piano Works and Gyorgy Sandor's Complete Prokofiev Sonatas were reissued in premium vinyl boxsets by the audiophile German FSM Records Hamburg. More recently, the Brendel Complete Beethoven Sonatas is being remastered from the original tapes to SACD and for HD downloads.

History[edit]

Vox was founded in 1945 in New York by George Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, a Hungarian Jewish immigrant. Starting out with 78-rpm discs, it specialized in licensed pressings of classical recordings made in Europe. It was one of the last major recording companies to adopt stereo recording, about 1957. The company's output featured the 'Vox Box', compilations of music by specific composers, such as piano music of Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Ravel; the complete symphonies and orchestral music of Rachmaninoff; rarely heard orchestral music by Tchaikovsky, Massenet, and Rimsky-Korsakov; the complete orchestral music of the eccentric French composer Erik Satie; and one of the most complete collections of the music of the early American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk.

Vox had subsidiary labels including Turnabout and Candide. Both labels generally focused on contemporary music. In recent years, some Vox recordings were rereleased on the Excelsior label.

Although Vox specialized in imported recordings, it also recorded the Utah Symphony Orchestra under Maurice Abravanel, the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin and Walter Susskind, the Minnesota Orchestra under Stanisław Skrowaczewski, and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under Thomas Schippers, Walter Susskind and Michael Gielen.

In the early 1970s, Vox and its subsidiaries issued a number of compatible quadraphonic/stereophonic recordings using the Sansui QS quadraphonic matrix system; some of the ambience can still be heard when the CD versions are played with an amplifier with Dolby decoding and four speakers. One of these was the first album made by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, led by Robert Shaw, a 2-LP set entitled Nativity.

Many of its recordings were later issued on CD. The company has continued a program of new releases, too, by such orchestras as the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.^[1]

In 1978, the label was acquired by Moss Music Group.

Notable releases[edit]

In the course of its existence, Vox has displayed a willingness to explore unusual literature and a penchant for covering broad swaths of repertory in comprehensive releases. Among its numerous noteworthy issues were the following: Paulina rubio discografia completa descargar.

• During the 1950s, Vox released the first nominally complete cycle of Schubert's piano sonatas on records, performed by the Austrian pianist Friedrich Wührer; it omitted a few fragmentary works but did include Ernst Krenek's rarely recorded completion of the Sonata in C Major, D. 840 (Reliquie). At first issued as single records with uniform jacket art, the series later appeared in two different sets of three Vox Boxes—one, with gold covers and red labels, monaural as originally recorded and the other, with white covers and purple labels, rechanneled for ersatz stereo. Vox subsequently replaced Wührer's cycle with one in true stereo recorded by Walter Klien; unlike its predecessor, the latter set has appeared in CD reissues as noted below.
• Vox released one of the few complete recordings of Tchaikovsky's rarely heard third piano concerto, as reconstructed by Sergei Ivanovich Taneyev (1856–1915), with pianist Michael Ponti. This performance has been included in a Vox Box (released in 1991) featuring Tchaikovsky's three piano concertos and the seldom-performed Concert Fantasy, Op. 56, all performed by Ponti, with the Prague Symphony Orchestra conducted by Richard Kapp (in the first and second concertos and the fantasy) and the Orchestra of Radio Luxembourg conducted by Louis de Froment.
• Vox issued recordings of the French composer Darius Milhaud directing the Luxembourg Philharmonic in his complete symphonies.
• In the 1960s pianist Frank Glazer recorded for Vox the complete piano music of Erik Satie. This recording was declared 'the finest interpretation of the piano music of Eric Satie'.^[2]

Ahead of the group's new LP Shame,here are four releases the band is particularly proud to share a label with.

The duo of Michael Berdan and Ben Greenberg have managed to present us with something completely different with each of their releases as the cranky metal project Uniform—not to mention each of the albums' ensuing tours. Experimenting with live drums since a successful collaboration with shrieky noisemakers The Body in 2018 made a convincing case for replacing their drum machine, the pair (now a trio, with Mike Sharp taking on drums after a stint with Greg Fox) have only continued to evolve with each release.

Shame, the band's sixth album in five years, feels like the least experimental of the lot only in the sense that it sounds the most grounded. The pummeling lead single/album opener 'Delco' injected their familiar industrial horrorcore sound with a (relatively) restrained guitar line that manages to replicate the same sense of endless, cyclical horror Berdan touches upon in his referential lyrics and song titles inspired by the cult horror filmography of the '70s and '80s (speaking of horror films, check out that self-immolation vid below). Eight-minute closer 'I am the Cancer' drives this theme home—being eight minutes and all—with a considerably more frantic energy that sounds more influenced by Liturgy than, say, the obscure Australian New Wave thriller they named their second LP after.

One throughline you could easily draw through the band's discography (besides the movies thing—these guys really love movies) is their discernibly Sacred Bones-y allegiance to murky electronics, something even their hardcore-punkiest records can't shake. We were curious to hear just which SB releases Uniform consider their albums to be most akin to—Berdan likely made some tough choices narrowing it down to just four, but read on to hear his take on those choices.

Pharmakon, Abandon

I wonder if this is the best-selling power electronics record of all time? It very well might be. Regardless of that status, Abandon is one of the most conceptually rich and sonically agonizing efforts in the entirety of the genre. Margaret's vocal delivery is a force of nature that feels akin to the tormented howls of Diamanda Galas or It from Abruptum. That voice, coupled with her abuse of frequency-modulated drones and rhythms straight out of a death march, make listening to Abandon a truly harrowing experience. In a stroke of genius, the record starts with a broken scream that morphs into a steady high-pitched tone that lasts throughout the first track. Truly terrifying stuff.

His Electro Blue Voice, Duuug

His Electro Blue Voice are one of the more compelling projects to emerge from the garage goth revival of the late aughts. All of their records are varied, and all of them will stand the test of time. The Duuug 7-inch was their lone appearance on Sacred Bones, but it left an indelible mark. These two songs just seethe with murderous intent while remaining impossibly catchy. The title track contains hook after hook that rival those of Bob Mould and Grant Hart on their best days. Like potato chips and heroin, I bet you can't just try it once.

Zola Jesus, Stridulum II

Zola Jesus, Stridulum II

Vex Sanctuary The Complete Discography Torrent

God, what a stunning album this is. I was a real fan of The Spoils, but little did I know that record was just a cocooning period for what was to come. The two EPs contained in Stridulum II, Stridulum and Valusia, found Nika confidently stepping away from her lower-fidelity roots. It almost seemed as if she had unleashed a secret superpower rivaling the likes of Siouxsie Sioux. Nothing would ever be the same for her ever again. The songs on this modern classic will burrow their way into your brain and live there forever.

Side note: My old band almost played a basement show with ZJ in Wisconsin during her early days, but she had to cancel. Man, I wish that I could say, 'My old band played a basement show with Zola Jesus,' but I can't, so this anecdote is pointless. Sorry.

Vex, Sanctuary: The Complete Discography

Vex Sanctuary The Complete Discography Soundtrack

Are reissues cheating? Do I care? Nah, I don't care. Vex are one of the finest Killing Joke clones of all time. It was forever hard to come by a copy of the Fight Back Records version of Sanctuary or the comp stuff, so when Sacred Bones took this record up I was particularly excited. Anthem after anthem, these always provide an emotional gut punch when I'm looking for one. Sure, they sounded exactly like Killing Joke and lifted their riffs even more blatantly than Nirvana did. As far as I'm concerned, the world will forever need more of that. I'd be way more excited about music if everything just sounded like Killing Joke all of the time.
