Bob Marley - Bob Marley Remixed CD
Asphalt Jungle, the pioneering NYC electronic duo of Brian Tarquin and Chris Ingram, were granted unprecedented access to the Marley tape vault, and embarked on a mission to take the classic sound of Bob Marley to unexpected, unimagined new places. The resulting 12 songs of “Bob Marley Remixed” is a masterful set, where the awe of respect and the spirit of adventure build continuously on each other, a spiraling musical DNA that leads from island roots to drum ‘n’ bass, big beat, techno, rock and beyond.

V/A - Get The Led Out!: Led
Zeppelin Salute CD
The concept of taking twelve celebrated numbers from the Zeppelin songbook and reworking them sans vocals works wonders on Get The Led Out! - Led Zeppelin Salute. Renowned for his great ears and studio expertise, producer guitarist Brian Tarquin assembled a sweeping array of classic Zeppelin covers as performed by some of rock’s cutting edge guitar stars. As a boon for Zeppelin fans, Get The Led Out! adds in four vintage bonus cuts—three from 1970 with Jimmy Page, Daniel Edwards, John Bonham and singer David “Lord” Sutch and one from ‘68 with John Paul Jones and singer Keith de Groot—presenting an interesting twist to this classic CD tribute.
