Stalemate is just simply stunning. Deadhouse on Discouraged Ones is solid and easy to listen to. I like to sing along with Relention, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Cold Ways is almost impossible to review. Gone is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Last Resort - another great track from the Discouraged Ones album. This song stands out greatly from the others. This song is dynamic and dramatic. Instrumental is probably one of Tra - Water’s Edge’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Distrust as a highlight of Discouraged Ones contains a ton of cool melodies.

There is so much to love about Architect, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. ‘Galactic Edge’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Since completing 1998’s ‘Random LFO’, Architect fulfilled their contract with Virgin Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is my first Architect Album and i must say i am blown away.
This track is a great song that still never gets old. The Edge is the song that really did it for me. Galactic Supermarket - Okay, I just talked about depth. Tot Mann hits the heart. Longivity is nothing but pure genius.

There is so much to love about Lagwagon, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. On Let’s Talk About Feelings album, Lagwagon have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. It has been fifteen years Lagwagon’ last studio CD, “Let’s Talk About Feelings” which won Array Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. Exciting stuff.
Within the first few notes of Gun In Your Hand it’s perfectly clear that Lagwagon is living this song. Such hits like Leave The Light On will leave you hooked. Change Despair without a doubt is the standout song of Let’s Talk About Feelings. Train is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Hurry Up And Wait is a very catchy tune. Everything Turns Grey is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. A great put together song. Messengers is the song that really did it for me. Kids Are All Wrong is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Let’s Talk About Feelings. May 16th is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Owen Meaney is the albums biggest surprise.

seven years ago, Bach, Johann Sebastian briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Choral [e Recitativo] (Coro): “Herr Gott, dich loben wir!” (The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Chor, con.

I like to sing along with Choral [e Recitativo] (Coro): “Herr Gott, dich loben wir!” (The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Chor, con. Ton Koopman.), though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Aria (Alto): “Lobe, Zion, deine Gott” (The Amsterdam Baroque) - I just love it. Recitativo (Basso): “Es wuensche sich die Welt” (The Amsterdam Baroque) is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. In Aria (Tenore, Basso): “Jesus soll mein alles sein” (The Amsterdam Baroque) it becomes nowhere more obvious that Bach, Johann Sebastian has yet to define own style. Recitativo (Tenore): “Nun, Jesus gebe” (The Amsterdam Baroque) has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Choral (Coro): “Lass uns das Jahr vollbringen” (The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Chor, con. Ton Koopman.) is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done.

Urga was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Urga and Etanol together. Urga’s debut, ‘Etanol’, does not fit easily into one genre. There is no doubt that Urga has talent. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Ajde Jano is a very catchy tune. I like Plakat because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Musically Faron Raudi is superior to other tracks in Etanol. Helmo is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Some call Dadre from Etanol as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. The sound in Hin Jata is really warm and Urga’s signature voice is still very much present. Allo Manne - arguably the best track on Etanol album.

Lead single “Catwalk” and “Sleepin’ Alone” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks.

Listening to Sleepin’ Alone you can hear that Shakatak has still amazing chemistry with band members. Lyrics of Street Level are precise and evocative. Shakatak sings his heart out in Haze. Walk In The Night is the funkiest number on the album. Only one song from Shinin On named Fly By Night really got me. After you’ve listened to Chase The Sun, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Shinin On. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Time Stretch one of the best in my collection. Paradise Island gets you up and jumping. Blue Azure - I like this one.

This disc has all of the essential Secret Garden classics. There is so much to love about Secret Garden, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. On the Andorra charts, superstar Secret Garden’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Fairytales Highlights From Secret Garden is the best essence of Secret Garden.
This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Music in Sigma is gorgeous as in all tracks of Fairytales Highlights From Secret Garden. Poeme is excellent song though, very addictive. Celebration sets the tone for the entire album. Nocturne is so unique, as each one of the songs is. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Secret Garden emotions are reflected through Hymn To Hope. The song Passacaglia ending is my favorite… so catchy! Steps one of the best in my collection. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Serenade To Spring is a bit of a show-tune. Windancer is a striking and quite long song. This track is a great song that still never gets old.

Soundtrack - Various Artists’s debut, ‘The Faculty’, does not fit easily into one genre. IF YOU LIKE ALL Soundtrack - Various Artists’S SONG GO FOR IT! Since Soundtrack - Various Artists last CD (The Faculty) on Blue Note Records back in 1998, I have felt a massive void in my life. If I may, I suggest “Another Brick In The Wall (Class Of 99)”. That one song is amazing!
This is one hell of a track. Music of I’m Eighteen (Creed) is gentle, never overbearing. In Helpless (D Generation) the music gets its power. School’s Out (Soul Asylum) is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Medication (Garbage) one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Haunting Me (Stabbing Westward) is outstanding work of Soundtrack - Various Artists. Maybe Someday (Flick) good vocals. Resuscitation (Sheryl Crow) - A strong beat. It’s Over Now (Neve) is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Changes (Shawn Mullins) is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Soundtrack - Various Artists released so far. I believe Stay Young (Oasis) is one of the most cool, heartfelt songs ever written. Song Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2 (Class Of 99) is actually a funny song.

This is one of the best Cd’s Ron Boots has dropped to date. Ron Boots’s debut, ‘Four The Truth’, does not fit easily into one genre. When you buy a Ron Boots album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Smart music for smart people.
It’s a great pleasure to listen to Synapsys Str. from the beginning to the end. Who Is It is probably the highlight of the album. This song is dynamic and dramatic. In Gross Misconduct the music gets its power. Ron Boots breathes new life into the music in The Relativit. Bare Score is one of these floating songs. Overall a nice softer song.

Con Elegancia is an amazing album, racked with beauty.On Con Elegancia album, Loquillo y Los Trogloditas have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. ‘Con Elegancia’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Cuando pienso en los viejos amigos and La Aurora de Nueva York is really good.
La Aurora de Nueva York is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Si me pagaran un millon de dolares por este poema is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Transgresiones makes a person feel perfect. Con Elegancia is outstanding work of Loquillo y Los Trogloditas. |titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. The first time I listened to Del Barrio I was struck by its cool sound. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Durante la invasion without a doubt is the standout song of Con Elegancia. Milonga de dos hermanos as a highlight of Con Elegancia contains a ton of exquisite melodies. Quin fred al cor. Camarada is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Una provincia is a striking and quite long song.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Massive Attack energies, virtually a rebirth. This album has some very good songs like Angel (Album Version) and Angel (Radio Edit). While no new Massive Attack album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1998 tour in Australia. I Love Angel from start to finish!
Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Some of the arrangements found on Angel are surprisingly edgy. Angel (Mad Professor Remix) is one of the more up-tempo songs on Angel. In Group Four (Mad Professor Remix) the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation.

On Cassandra (Single) album, Theatre Of Tragedy have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
Cassandra (Album Version) which is my favorite is a truly Theatre Of Tragedy sounding song. Cassandra (Cheap Wine Edit) is simple, dignified and effective, Theatre Of Tragedy refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more.

On the Jamaica charts, superstar Blanco’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Negro Mix 5, CD2 isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Blanco’s new album to that on ‘Negro Mix 5, CD2′ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is my first Blanco Album and i must say i am blown away.
If you are a Blanco fan, you will love Gala - Suddenly. Ultra nate - Found a cure is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Tom novy vs. Eniac - Superstar - For me, this is the best of the album. Only one song from Negro Mix 5, CD2 named Byron stingily - You make me feel mighty real really got me. Groove gangsters - Funky beats - I like this one. What sets Perpetual motion - keep on dancin(Lets go) apart is Blanco’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Bbe - Deeper love (symphonic paradise) - Blanco first major hit. Ayla - Ayla part II is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think State of mind - This is it is my favorite song on Negro Mix 5, CD2. After about the third Armand van helden & The horse - Ghetto house groove listen through, I began to believe this song is Blanco’s essence. I like the idea behind Ralphi rosario feat. Donna blakely - Take me up gotta get up. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Negro Mix 5, CD2. Music and lyrics of Down low - Johnny b creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Blanco y negro mix - Radio mix is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done.

Tally Ho! is an amazing album, racked with beauty.This is the first studio album from Wagon Christ since bad diagnosis in 1998. Wagon Christ had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. This album is a scorcher!
Crazy Disco Party sets the tone for the entire album. The sound in Tally Ho! is really warm and Wagon Christ’s signature voice is still very much present. What sets Memory Towel apart is Wagon Christ’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. I have all of Wagon Christ’s tracks and Shimmering Haze is probably the most his introspective effort. Juicy Luke Vibert great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Piano Playa Hata can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Wagon Christ is all about. The song Workout ending is my favorite… so catchy! The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. As always, Wagon Christ’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. The sound of My Organ In Your Face is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Musical Box (4:30) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. The End stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty.

Sin pecado carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Now signed to Various Artists’s Mute Records, the title track from second album “Sin pecado” leads Various Artists’s back-to-school campaign. For older fans Sin pecado will put a massive smile accross your face. This album is in perfect progression from Various Artists!
Handmadegod is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. In 2econd Skin the music gets its power. Once Abysmo gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. I find myself hearing bits of Flesh here and there throughout my waking hours. Magdalena - Check out that bassline! I came to like V.C. (Gloria Domini; V.C. (Gloria Domini)). Eurotica is probably one of Various Artists’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Mute can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Various Artists is all about. Dekadance - A catchy, upbeat tune. I like Let The Children Cum To Me because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Voice and instruments in The Hanged Man complement each other. 13 is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Various Artists released so far.

I am not a real Metal music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Buchonia’ really is amazing. Since completing 1998’s ‘Buchonia’, Menhir fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. two years ago, Menhir briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Falkenburgstein”. This album is awesome.
In Falkenburgstein Menhir is at his best. This track is full of harmonies and gets Buchonia off to a relaxing start. Vocals of Menhir in Sonnenwende really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm.

two years ago, The Trouble briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Shadows On The Street”. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of The Trouble on ‘We Are The Blood’. For older fans Nobody Laughs Anymore will put a massive smile accross your face. I wish that “Nobody Laughs Anymore” album was instrumental.
I have all of The Trouble’s tracks and Shadows On The Street is probably the most his introspective effort. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Burned Up Washed Out is my favorite song on Nobody Laughs Anymore. This Ones For You great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.You Make Me Sick (1:24) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Teenage Terror good vocals. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Grasping At Straws - A nice song. What sets No Regrets apart is The Trouble’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Dead And Gone is a song to enjoy for years to come. End Of My Rope is a gorgeous, simple song by The Trouble at the top of his game. Saturdays Kids is one of the best records ever. This song may be the most meaningful.

Mass Nerder isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. ten years ago, All briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “I’ll Get There”. This is the first studio album from All since bad diagnosis in 1998. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
The song feels complete. Life on the Road is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Mass Nerder have ended. In Fairweather Friend the music gets its power. Perfection is a fine track on any terms. Greedy is almost impossible to review. Until I Say So - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Think the World - I just love it. Honey Peeps is astounding. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Silly Me - All first major hit. Romantic Junkie is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. This track is clearly meant to showcase All’s vocal abilities. When I listen to Until Then in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. No All song has come close to capturing my attention as Good as My Word did. All sings Silence in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved.

Axel F - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. The Energy Of Sound couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Crockett’s Theme. Dance With The Devil gives taste of what makes Michael Cretu special as a musician. Addiction Day is outstanding work of Michael Cretu. Magic Fly (Wonderland Mix) gives good insight into the truths. Chase rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Twelve After Midnight - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Michael Cretu. Michael Cretu sings L-42 in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Strong, powerful vocals of Michael Cretu in Pulstar are very impressive.
