Founded and based in Hamburg, earMUSIC is a kind of guardian of the rock'n'roll flame. Since 2000, the German label has hosted international stars as diverse as Alice Cooper, Joe Jackson, Deep Purple, Foreigner and New Model Army. All of them are part of the aptly named Discover earMusic, which perfectly showcases the label's eclecticism. Hard rock with Thunder's Rip It Up, indie rock with Joe Jackson's Fool, blues rock with Robben Ford's Willing to Wait or flamenco jazz fusion with Al Di Meola revisiting The Beatles' Here Comes the Sun: no style is missing from this compilation produced exclusively for Qobuz. Naturally, the selection is available in 24-bit Hi-Res, as earMUSIC always lays a lot of importance on the sound quality of the recordings it produces. At the heart of this five-star tracklist is a beautiful cover of Bowie's Heroes sung by Alice Cooper with Joe Perry of Aerosmith on guitar. It's a compilation fit for a king! © Max Dembo/Qobuz
