Opal

Happy Nightmare Baby Socrates

Happy Mondays

Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches Socrates

 The album is a powerful concentrate of energy, a perfectly successful synthesis of anarchic attitude, distorted rock guitars, funky & soul elements, and a rhythmic rave-party base.

 Music is also an opportunity to live vicariously, to share an imagery without fully identifying with it; to be able to tell your children that the guy in the cartoon so messed up was once a friend of dad’s.

 Dive into Pills ’n’ Thrills and Bellyaches—experience the raw energy of Madchester’s iconic sound today!

Morelenbaum²/Sakamoto

Casa Socrates

 Bossa nova could be defined as a dance that turns into poetry, a movement of the body that inevitably becomes reflection, contemplation.

 This simplicity, this different approach gives the tracks a new light, perhaps bringing them closer to classical music, to chamber music rather than to jazz standards.

 Listen to 'Casa' and experience a heartfelt homage to Jobim’s bossa nova legacy through intimate and poetic performances.
