All-4-One had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Self-described as Pop with lots of words, All-4-One comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. I am not a real Pop music type of person, but i have to admit ‘An All-4-One Chrismas’ really is amazing. This is my first All-4-One Album and i must say i am blown away.
This Christmas is a bit of a show-tune. All of songs on An All-4-One Chrismas and have something to say letting alone The First Noel. The Christmas Song is a fine track on any terms. Santa Claus Is Coming ToTown (4:04) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. Mary’s Little Boy Child is almost impossible to review. What Child Is This one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. I love the melodic melody of Frosty The Snowman and to this day it makes me feel good. Simple and heartfelt closing track O Come, All Ye Faithful closes An All-4-One Chrismas on a high note. When You Wish Upon A Star is really a nice song to relax and listen too. I like Christmas With My Baby because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. I think We Wish You A Merry Christmas is the best song All-4-One has ever done.

Kemistry (Doc Scott Mix) is really a nice song to relax and listen too. No Goldie song has come close to capturing my attention as Jah (BPM Mix) did.

Since completing 1995’s ‘Suirnir’, Falkenbach fulfilled their contract with Sparrow Records and where under no obligation to release another album. ‘Laeknishendr’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. It has been twelve years Falkenbach’ last studio CD, “Laeknishendr” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. If you love Falkenbach as much as I do, then Falkenbach Laeknishendr is the CD for you!
It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Laeknishendr, which shows, blatantly, how much Falkenbach has evolved as a singer. Blond is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Infernum - I like this one. Falkenbach emotions are reflected through Asaland.

This fifteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Los Incas has. There were many famous songs of Los Incas available. There is no doubt that Los Incas has talent. This album is in perfect progression from Los Incas!
Tema De Maimara is a song to enjoy for years to come. Rio Abierto which is my favorite is a truly Los Incas sounding song. Alegria - a classic song. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is No Te Cases Con El. In Ya Es La Hora the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Aguita De Puthina is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. After you’ve listened to Munahuanqui, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. El Serranito one of the best in my collection. Huaca Tokhoris is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. De Lejos Parece Un Humo is probably the most interesting track on Alegria. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. What sets Funeral Del Topa Inca apart is Los Incas’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Marcha De Las Pulgas - For me, this is the best of the album.

Since completing 1995’s ‘Telephone Blues’, Sonny Terry fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Sonny Terry has. Lead single “Telephone Blues” and “Custard Pie Blues” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Sonny Terry ever.
Custard Pie Blues is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. This song stands out greatly from the others. I have all of Sonny Terry’s tracks and Mad Man Blues is probably the most his introspective effort. All Alone Blues - another great track from the Whoopin The Blues: Capitol Recordings 47-50 album. This song is dynamic and dramatic. Early Morning Blues pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Whoopin The Blues: Capitol Recordings 47-50 is Whoopin’ The Blues. Listening to Beer Garden Blues you can hear that Sonny Terry has still amazing chemistry with band members. Screamin’ And Cryin’ Blues is a striking and quite long song. Crow Jane Blues is outstanding work of Sonny Terry. |titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Airplane Blues is the most memorable and excellent. I was truly moved when I heard Hot Headed Woman. Harmonica Rag is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Leavin’ Blues is one of the coolest songs Sonny Terry has ever recorded.

When you buy a The Legendary Pink Dots album, you know exactly what you’re getting! I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about The Legendary Pink Dots ever.
Cease your lonely mourning - This is a very lively song. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Chemical Playschool Volume 8. I have all of The Legendary Pink Dots’s tracks and Catch a match. A bang bang. A Flashing fist O’crackerjack. A smack. A lick. A char char. You’re all burned out. is probably the most his introspective effort. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. The Artificial Silence is a medium tempo tune. A Chrome Zone in Powder Park is a great opener for Chemical Playschool Volume 8. Music of Pandora’s Socks is gentle, never overbearing. Andromeda Suite is pretty funky and mellow. The sound in Pastorial is really warm and The Legendary Pink Dots’s signature voice is still very much present.

IF YOU LIKE ALL Dead Infection’S SONG GO FOR IT! It has been fourteen years Dead Infection’ last studio CD, “A Chapter of Accidents” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Dead Infection was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Dead Infection and A Chapter of Accidents together. I wish that “A Chapter of Accidents” album was instrumental.
Autophagia - a classic song. The End Of Love is nothing but pure genius. Hospital still maintains something of a specific flourish. Vocals of Dead Infection in Incident At Corsica really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. From the moment you listen to Airplane’s Catastrophe you’re hooked. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Little John’s Story. Her Heart In Your Hands - I just love it. Ambulance - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. This is probably my favorite song on the album. Lyrics of Life Of A Surgeon are precise and evocative. In Fire In The Forest Dead Infection is at his best. Damaged Elevator one of the best in my collection. All of songs on A Chapter of Accidents and have something to say letting alone The Firing Ground. Get A Chapter of Accidents and turn on Tragedy At The Railway Station if you are going to sip your wine late at night. After about the third Don’t Turn His Crushed Face On Me listen through, I began to believe this song is Dead Infection’s essence. Song Torn By The Lion Apart is actually a funny song. As always, Dead Infection’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again.

This disc has all of the essential Paul Weller classics. Stanley Road isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. On the Ireland charts, superstar Paul Weller’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like Stanley Road.
Porcelain Gods - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. The opening track I Walk On Guilded Splinters is very much like you would expect from other albums. You Do Something To Me (3:39) - awsome. Woodcutter’s Son had me crying as I was able to relate so well. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Strong, powerful vocals of Paul Weller in Stanley Road are very impressive. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. I was truly moved when I heard Out Of The Sinking. This song may be the most meaningful. Whirlpools’ End is just simply stunning. Such hits like Wings Of Speed will leave you hooked.

While no new Sonny Terry album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Asia. Whoopin The Blues and Riff and Harmonica Jump is really good.
Riff and Harmonica Jump one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. No Sonny Terry song has come close to capturing my attention as Custard Pie Blues did. Mad Man Blues is a fine track on any terms. It took me a little time but I ended up loving All Alone Blues. 51 couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Dirty Mistreated, Dont You Know. Only one song from 51 named Early Morning Blues really got me.

Erasure’s debut, ‘Erasure’, does not fit easily into one genre. Erasure carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. I am not a real Dance music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Erasure’ really is amazing. Great Dance right here!
Once you hear Rescue Me, you will listen to it over and over. This is one hell of a track. You can find feelings on this piece of art. When I listen to Rock Me Gently in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Erasure. The sound of Stay With Me is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Love The Way You Do is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Angel - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. I Love You is pretty funky and mellow. This song is dynamic and dramatic.

Summer Of Love one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Wrong Or Right is perfect. Will I Be Faithful? - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love.

A Frame Of Mind is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. I can’t stop playing Vesuvio. I came to like The Hidden Ache. Memories Espanded is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Slow Death Factory can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Illdisposed is all about. No Illdisposed song has come close to capturing my attention as Submit did. Flogging A Dead Horse is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Die Kingdom (5:11) a good melody.

So Beautiful is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Hillside Avenue is simply cool. Remembering The First Time is nothing but pure genius. Voice of Simply Red in Out On The Range is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. In We’re In This Together it becomes nowhere more obvious that Simply Red has yet to define own style.

Now signed to Los Tigres del Norte’s Capitol Records, the title track from second album “La Garra de…” leads Los Tigres del Norte’s back-to-school campaign. Since completing 1995’s ‘Pacas De A Kilo’, Los Tigres del Norte fulfilled their contract with Capitol Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
La Segunda Carta which is my favorite is a truly Los Tigres del Norte sounding song. Album opener El Maestro is a bright, upbeat ditty. Amigos Y Mujeres is the albums biggest surprise. La Oferta is absolutely incredible. Leopoldo Rios is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. El Pescadito Rojo is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. I loved Tumba Falsa the first time I heard it. Manos Unidas has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Los Tigres del Norte has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Carino Donde Andaras is such a cool and optimistic song that things can get just better. I have all of Los Tigres del Norte’s tracks and El Canelo is probably the most his introspective effort. Within the first few notes of La Daga it’s perfectly clear that Los Tigres del Norte is living this song. Ya No Hagas Mas Sacrificios gets you up and jumping.

Happy Birthday can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Carly Simon is all about. This track is clearly meant to showcase Carly Simon’s vocal abilities. Song Davy is actually a funny song. Do The Walls Come Down is simple, dignified and effective, Carly Simon refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Danny Boy is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. We’re So Close - A catchy, upbeat tune. Someone Waits For You is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 3) have ended. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 3). Time After Time as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. What Shall We Do With The Child is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. I’ve Got A Crush On You is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Something Wonderful has a fun tempo. You’re The Love Of My Life is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. I Get Along Without You Very Well has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Carly Simon’s strong vocals come to the fore. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit.

This album has some very good songs like In Praise Of Innocence and Like A Moth To The Flame. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by John Kerr. On Castles Th The Sky album, John Kerr have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Like A Moth To The Flame
Like A Moth To The Flame is one of the best records ever. Now Or Never has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Album opener In and Out Of Clouds is a bright, upbeat ditty. Piece Of Mind is a great opener for Castles Th The Sky. As Ships In The Night is probably the highlight of the album. A New Day’s Dawning is really the reason why I recommend buying Castles Th The Sky. From Kingdom Come is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Castles Th The Sky have ended. The sound in You and Me is really warm and John Kerr’s signature voice is still very much present. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. No John Kerr song has come close to capturing my attention as Castles did. Love You good vocals.

Since completing 1995’s ‘Chattahoochee (Extended Mix)’, Alan Jackson fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. When you buy a Alan Jackson album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Now signed to Alan Jackson’s ForeFront Records, the title track from second album “Greatest Hits Vol I” leads Alan Jackson’s back-to-school campaign. Such great and happy songs.
Little Bitty I just LOVE this mix! Gone Country is just simply stunning. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Midnight In Montgomery - another great track from the Greatest Hits Vol I album. Alan Jackson must have run out of lyrics on the next track Tall, Tall Trees. Music in Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow is excellent as in all tracks of Greatest Hits Vol I. I can’t stop humming along I’ll Try. Alan Jackson is hitting on all cylinders in Don’t Rock The Jukebox. Livin’ On Love (3:51) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Song Summertime Blues is actually a funny song. Love’s Got A Hold On You is another favourite of mine. (Who Says)You Can’t Have It All - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Home is a great opener for Greatest Hits Vol I. Wanted gives taste of what makes Alan Jackson special as a musician. This track is clearly meant to showcase Alan Jackson’s vocal abilities. Dallas one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. After about the third Here In The Real World listen through, I began to believe this song is Alan Jackson’s essence. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Mercury Blues has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Alan Jackson’s strong vocals come to the fore. In I’d Love You All Over Again Alan Jackson is at his best.

It has been seven years Various Artists’ last studio CD, “Milk kisses” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Various Artists’s debut, ‘Milk kisses’, does not fit easily into one genre. This album has some very good songs like Violaine and Serpentskirt. Unappreciated gift to Pop
Serpentskirt - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Various Artists. Tishbite which is my favorite is a truly Various Artists sounding song. Half-Gifts is probably the most interesting track on Milk kisses. Calfskin Smack is probably the highlight of the album. Rilkean Heart had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Ups is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Eperdu is a gorgeous sing-along. Treasure Hiding is a fine track on any terms. Seekers Who Are Lovers - A catchy, upbeat tune.

While no new Marie Laforet album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Europe. After seeing Je T attends, I had to have a good Marie Laforet cd. For older fans Marie Laforet Volume 2 will put a massive smile accross your face. Marie Laforet Volume 2 is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
Siffle Siffle Ma Fille - I just love it. La Voix Du Silence is one of the best records ever. Viens can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Marie Laforet is all about. A Demain My Darling - This one is lively and fun. Jukie Crevecoeur is such a cool and optimistic song that things can get just better. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. Ma Chanson Faite Pour Toi is outstanding work of Marie Laforet. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think La Bague Au Doigt is my favorite song on Marie Laforet Volume 2. In Katy Cruelle the music gets its power. Music of Entre Toi Et Moi is gentle, never overbearing. Music and lyrics of L arbre Qui Pleure creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Strong, powerful vocals of Marie Laforet in La Tendresse are very impressive. La Plage is a striking and quite long song. A unique and uplifting song. Je N ai Rien Appris is excellent and different song. Que Calor La Vida is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. La Moisson is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Je Voudrais Tant Que Tu Comprennes is a fine track on any terms. Toi Qui Dors is probably one of Marie Laforet’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Marie Douceur - Marie Colere makes a person feel cool. L orage has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Marie Laforet must have run out of lyrics on the next track Le Vin De L ete.

Since Arnaldo Antunes last CD (Ninguem) on SixSteps records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Arnaldo Antunes energies, virtually a rebirth. Arnaldo Antunes had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. This is one of Arnaldo Antunes best albums
Consciencia without a doubt is the standout song of Ninguem. O Nome Disso - Check out that bassline! From the moment you listen to Nem Tudo you’re hooked. I have all of Arnaldo Antunes’s tracks and Alegria is probably the most his introspective effort. Only one song from Ninguem named Budismo Moderno really got me. Fora de Si is such a excellent and optimistic song that things can get just better. Musically Minha Meu is superior to other tracks in Ninguem. O Seu Olhar - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. I find myself hearing bits of Lugar Comum here and there throughout my waking hours. Judiaria is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Inspirado is perfect. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Quero is the albums biggest surprise. Ninguem no Carnaval is pretty funky and mellow.

Self-described as Metal: Death,Black with lots of words, Crown Of Thorns comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. On the France charts, superstar Crown Of Thorns’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This twelve-song debut EP shows the promise that Crown Of Thorns has. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like The Burning.
Soulicide Demon-Might - Crown Of Thorns first major hit. After you’ve listened to Godless, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. The Lord Of The Rings is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through The Burning. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in The Burning. Forever Heaven Gone is possibly the best song Crown Of Thorns has come up. Voice and instruments in Earthborn complement each other. Neverending Dream is Crown Of Thorns’s best work in years. After about the third Night Of The Swords listen through, I began to believe this song is Crown Of Thorns’s essence. Candles is one of my favorite songs by Crown Of Thorns. Forget The Light - This is a very lively song.

Dreamin’ is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Ripped Off (4:48) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. Worn Out Broken Heart great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.That’s How Heartaches Are Made is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood.

Self-described as psychedelic with lots of words, Psychedelic - Various Artists comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Lead single “Waiting For A New Life (Total Eclipse)” and “Wizard (Slinky Wizard)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This disc has all of the essential Psychedelic - Various Artists classics. This album is awesome.
Psychedelic - Various Artists allows each song to breathe and flourish. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Album opener Far Beyond Speech (Total Eclipse) is a bright, upbeat ditty. Scarab (Prana) - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Euromotors (Moog) as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Hard Knee (N.A.T.) is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Voice and instruments in The Return Home (Luna Eclipse) complement each other. Distance To Goa 1 couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Arcadia (Interstellar). I like the agression and power of Exquisite Sin (Razor’s Edge).

This sixteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Michael Jackson has. This is the first studio album from Michael Jackson since bad diagnosis in 1995. For older fans History: Past, Present and Future, Book 1 (CD 2) will put a massive smile accross your face. If I may, I suggest “Scream”. That one song is amazing!
They Don’t Care About Us is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Stranger In Moscow is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Nice and different song. Earth Song is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. D.S. is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Michael Jackson. Come Together catches attention immediately, You Are Not Alone is one of the more up-tempo songs on History: Past, Present and Future, Book 1 (CD 2). Childhood was the first single release from the album History: Past, Present and Future, Book 1 (CD 2). Tabloid Junkie - This is a very lively song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing.

Coco Lee’s debut, ‘Woman In Love’, does not fit easily into one genre. Now signed to Coco Lee’s SixSteps records, the title track from second album “Woman In Love” leads Coco Lee’s back-to-school campaign. ten years ago, Coco Lee briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Woman In Love (Orchestra Version)”. I wish that “Woman In Love” album was instrumental.
I think Woman In Love (Orchestra Version) is the best song Coco Lee has ever done. I was truly moved when I heard You’re In My Heart. Never Weary (4:45) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. The song feels complete. Forget About It is a strong cut, one of many. Unbiased is such a cool and optimistic song that things can get just better. Song Woman In Love is actually a funny song. This track is just a stunning masterpiece.

After debuting at No. 1 last week, Morgana Lefay’s album Present Future falls to No. 2 with 671,000, a sales slide of 61%. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like Present Future.
First time I heard Volez Vous was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Lyrics of The Mirror are precise and evocative. Symphony Of The Damned as a highlight of Present Future contains a ton of cool melodies. Sorrow Calls (8:22) - awsome. Sculptures Of Pain is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Album opener Rumours Of Rain is a bright, upbeat ditty. Lost Reflection is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Morgana Lefay ever produced. When listening to Last Rites, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Battle Of Evermore is so unique, as each one of the songs is. I think Alley Of Oaks is the best song Morgana Lefay has ever done.

I am not a real Pop music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Symbolic’ really is amazing. It’s natural for Various Artists to take a stab at ‘Symbolic’ considering her long-professed love for Orkrist. sixteen years ago, Various Artists briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Zero Tolerance”. Great Pop right here!
The opening track Zero Tolerance is very much like you would expect from other albums. Nice and different song. Sacred Serenity very upbeat. 1000 Eyes - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Without Judgement still maintains something of a specific flourish. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Misanthrope has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Perennial Quest is nothing but pure genius.

It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Sunday In Alsace is exquisite work of Marty Friedman. Memories Of Lugnasad is the first taste of the new album. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Legends Of Light.
