‘Scarlet’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. There is so much to love about Closterkeller, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. On Scarlet album, Closterkeller have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Closterkeller ever.
I now have California as one of my personal favorites. Tak si boj blu - For me, this is the best of the album. Scarlett one of the best in my collection. nio is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Phantom very upbeat. Owoce wschodu is probably the highlight of the album. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Po to wanie (Norwid) is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Scarlet have ended. The first time I listened to Temple of Time I was struck by its exquisite sound. Tak si rodzi nienawi - Check out that bassline! It took me a little time but I ended up loving Brylant. I can’t stop humming along Dla Jej siostry. Voice and instruments in A Ona, Ona complement each other. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Mog tylko patrze - To me, this is the best song on the Scarlet. Chat is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot.

After debuting at No. 1 last week, Alejandro Fernandez’s album Que Seas Muy Feliz falls to No. 2 with 300,000, a sales slide of 95%. When you buy a Alejandro Fernandez album, you know exactly what you’re getting! It has been eight years Alejandro Fernandez’ last studio CD, “Que Seas Muy Feliz” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. IT makes me wanna dance!
El Potrillo is probably the most interesting track on Que Seas Muy Feliz. La Mitad Que Me Faltaba is probably the highlight of the album. Charming song, great melody. Me Recordaras Llorando is one of the more up-tempo songs on Que Seas Muy Feliz. Alejandro Fernandez is hitting on all cylinders in Ojo Por Ojo. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Paso Del Norte. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. I listened to the opening track Que Seas Muy Feliz and liked it a lot. Que Sera De Mi is a great opener for Que Seas Muy Feliz. Still going through Que Seas Muy Feliz and coming to appreciate Uno Mas more and more with every listen. Y Despues is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Que Seas Muy Feliz.

Pegasus had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. There is so much to love about Pegasus, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Emphasis is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Everest
Everest is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Get Emphasis and turn on Borobudur if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Karakorum is nothing but pure genius. This is probably my favorite song on the album. Macchu Picchu is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Emphasis have ended. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Meteora is amazing song though, very addictive. Arecibo is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Obelisk - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites.

Since Dissection last CD ([1995] Storm Of The Light’s Bane) on ForeFront Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. This is one of the best Cd’s Dissection has dropped to date. Now signed to Dissection’s ForeFront Records, the title track from second album “[1995] Storm Of The Light’s Bane” leads Dissection’s back-to-school campaign. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Night?s Blood
I came to like Night?s Blood. Unhallowed is excellent song though, very addictive. I listened to the opening track Where Dead Angels Lie and liked it a lot. Retribution - Storm Of The Light’s Bane is one of the coolest songs Dissection has ever recorded. Thorns of Crimson Death (8:07) - awsome. Voice and instruments in Soulreaper complement each other. First time I heard No Dreams Breed In Breathless was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.

On Little Child album, Bai Bang have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. On the Spain charts, superstar Bai Bang’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. When you buy a Bai Bang album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This is one of Bai Bang best albums
Get Little Child and turn on Ridin’ High if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Only The Strong has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Bai Bang’s strong vocals come to the fore. I Want It gives taste of what makes Bai Bang special as a musician. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. I like to sing along with Lay Down, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Music in Raise Your Fist is perfect as in all tracks of Little Child. F.O.F.D. is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Little Child. Should I Stay Or Should I Go has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Although Get Off is very melodic it is far from sad. Still going through Little Child and coming to appreciate Closer To You more and more with every listen. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Little Child is Hideway.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Friedemann energies, virtually a rebirth. Friedemann was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Friedemann and Legends of Light together. I am not a real Easy Listening music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Legends of Light’ really is amazing. I Love Legends of Light from start to finish!
Mount Belenos as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. In Joy of Beltane full palet of sound is used by Friedemann to accentuate the presentation. A great put together song. Spring Has Come to Wiesental - To me, this is the best song on the Legends of Light. Sunday in Alsace is the most memorable and marvelous. Memories of Lugnasad is the albums biggest surprise. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Black Cherries - White Wine is my favorite song on Legends of Light. Lament of the White Goddess as a highlight of Legends of Light contains a ton of cool melodies. The Sun at Midnight to me is the best you can get from Friedemann.

On the Greece charts, superstar Dodheimsgard’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. One of Dodheimsgard’s best albums yet.
A Slakte Gud is one of these floating songs. This song may be the most meaningful. Jesu Blod is absolutely incredible. Midnattskogens Sorte Kjerne - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Kuldeblest Over Evig Isode has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Dodheimsgard’s strong vocals come to the fore.

There is no doubt that National Velvet has talent. Wildseed carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Since completing 1995’s ‘Prize’, National Velvet fulfilled their contract with Capitol Records and where under no obligation to release another album. If you want to hear real Pop, get this record now!
Salvation - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Life Force (3:28) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Rite Of Way is so unique, as each one of the songs is. In Shut Up the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Trouble great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.The song A Summer’s Eve 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. Take Charge is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. I like the agression and power of Lay Down. Reprise is simple, dignified and effective, National Velvet refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more.

Invisible is a very catchy tune. Science Fiction is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. House Of Clouds is the most memorable and amazing. Detective 27 is the perfect blend of moody yet optimistic tunes.

Album opener Angolo Di Cielo is a bright, upbeat ditty. Fumo Nero is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Nice and different song. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Oasi is the song that really did it for me. ‘O Cammello ‘Nnammurato is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Anima is perfect work of Pino Daniele.

Lead single “The River Of Dreams” and “Sweat (A La La La La Long)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This is the first studio album from James Last and His Orchestra since bad diagnosis in 1995. James Last and His Orchestra was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from James Last and His Orchestra and Beach Party ‘95 together. Exciting stuff.
Sweat (A La La La La Long) actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on James Last and His Orchestra’s face. Life’s A Celebration is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Beach Party ‘95. Father Figure can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what James Last and His Orchestra is all about. Musically (You Put The) Sun In My Heart is superior to other tracks in Beach Party ‘95. Fields Of Gold is gorgeous song though, very addictive. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Beach Party ‘95. Baby, I Love Your Way gets you up and jumping. I find myself hearing bits of His Light Will Shine here and there throughout my waking hours. La Isla Bonita one is one of the better boring ones. This is probably my favorite song on the album. Some call I’ll Stand By You from Beach Party ‘95 as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen.

December 1963 is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Ronnie is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You is probably the highlight of the album. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Greatest Hits. You can find feelings on this piece of art. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Swearing To God - A classic Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons track. I find myself hearing bits of Grease here and there throughout my waking hours. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. I now have Big Girls Don’t Cry as one of my personal favorites. Lyrics of Save It For Me are precise and evocative. Within the first few notes of Let’s Hang On it’s perfectly clear that Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons is living this song. I’ve Got You Under My Skin is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Who Loves You is a perfect sing-along.

For older fans Black winter day will put a massive smile accross your face. Various Artists’s debut, ‘Black winter day’, does not fit easily into one genre. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Various Artists on ‘Black Winter Day’. This album is a scorcher!
What sets Folk Of The North apart is Various Artists’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Moon and Sun sets the tone for the entire album. Moon and Sun Part II - Okay, I just talked about depth.

There is no doubt that Chuck Van Zyl has talent. Chuck Van Zyl’s debut, ‘The Relic Cd2′, does not fit easily into one genre. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Chuck Van Zyl. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
This track is clearly meant to showcase Chuck Van Zyl’s vocal abilities. What sets Regio Galileo apart is Chuck Van Zyl’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Prometheus is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen.

‘Deep Maxi’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. For older fans Deep Maxi will put a massive smile accross your face. Marusha had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Deep Maxi is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Deep (Short Version) is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever.

On the Lithuania charts, superstar Various Artists’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. thirteen years ago, Various Artists briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Fishing Junks At Sunset - Part 1″. There were many famous songs of Various Artists available. Smart music for smart people.
Fishing Junks At Sunset - Part 1 - Okay, I just talked about depth. Music in Fishing Junks At Sunste - Part 2 is marvelous as in all tracks of Hong kong cd 2. Nice and different song. The sound of Digi Sequencer is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Magnetic Fields is a strong cut, one of many. Various Artists sings his heart out in Band In The Rain (unplugged Version; Band In The Rain (unplugged Version)). Rendez-vous has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Various Artists’s strong vocals come to the fore. Chronologie - a classic song.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Squeeze. I am not a real Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘East Side Story’ really is amazing. Now signed to Squeeze’s SixSteps records, the title track from second album “East Side Story” leads Squeeze’s back-to-school campaign. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
Someone Else’s Heart is a very catchy tune. Tempted is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Piccadilly is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. There’s No Tomorrow pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Is That Love is amazing work of Squeeze. This track is clearly meant to showcase Squeeze’s vocal abilities. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Someone Else’s Bell is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after East Side Story have ended. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Vanity Fair is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Overall a nice softer song.

Forbidden Paradise 03 - The Quest For Atlantis is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Forbidden Paradise 03 - The Quest For Atlantis isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. I am not a real Trance music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Forbidden Paradise 03 - The Quest For Atlantis’ really is amazing. Forbidden Paradise 03 - The Quest For Atlantis is not something you should pass up.
Berlin (Peace Mix) (Berlin Inc.) one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. A Force Beyond (Juno) (4:50) - awsome. Impulses Are NRG (Maurits NRG Trance Mix) (Karma De La Luna) is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Musically Infiltration EP Deep Infinity (Cortex Thrill) is superior to other tracks in Forbidden Paradise 03 - The Quest For Atlantis. Porpoise (West & Storm) is a gorgeous sing-along. Anaesthetic Influx (Encephaloid Disturbance) can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Trance - Various Artists is all about. Magic Mushroom EP Amanita Muscara (Azid Force) is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Calling Middle Earth (Dynamic Maniax) is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Forbidden Paradise 03 - The Quest For Atlantis. In The Club (Digital Express) the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Voice and instruments in Silver Clouds In A Yellow Sky (Alici) complement each other. The Beginning Aquapunch (3 In One Mix) (Blue Minds) is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Forbidden Paradise 03 - The Quest For Atlantis. I love the melodic melody of Eclipse (Cherry Bomb) and to this day it makes me feel good. After few listenings I started to like Summer Storm EP Leisure Lounge Edit (PHD) more and more. I think Bird Of Dawning (Cyberheads) is the best song Trance - Various Artists has ever done.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Christopher Franke energies, virtually a rebirth. Now signed to Christopher Franke’s Blue Note Records, the title track from second album “Night Of The Running Man” leads Christopher Franke’s back-to-school campaign. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for Christopher Franke’s new album to that on ‘Night Of The Running Man’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
Music and lyrics of Opening Credits creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. The opening track Taxi Ride is very much like you would expect from other albums. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Although Neck Break/Total Cash is very melodic it is far from sad. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Simple and heartfelt closing track Train Chase/Hoover Dam closes Night Of The Running Man on a high note. Couple Argument is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. In Airport Escape full palet of sound is used by Christopher Franke to accentuate the presentation. This song is dynamic and dramatic. I like Torture because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Hospital Escape to me is the best you can get from Christopher Franke. Voice and instruments in Continental Chase (Pts 1 & 2) complement each other. I think Love Scene is the best song Christopher Franke has ever done. Vocals of Christopher Franke in Killer In The House really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Back To Vegas on Night Of The Running Man is solid and easy to listen to. I can’t stop humming along Surprise+Girl Beating+End Fight. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Listening to Natasha’s Theme you can hear that Christopher Franke has still amazing chemistry with band members.

Folk Of The North is the excellent blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Music in Moon And Sun is astounding as in all tracks of Black Winter Day (EP). After you’ve listened to Moon And Sun Part II- North’s, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Light My Fire is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart.

The sound of Kingdom Of Endless Darkness(ADES) is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. A fantastic track full of wonder. Simple and heartfelt closing track ARIS…God Of Brutal War closes Kingdom Of Endless Darkness on a high note. The Black Queen - A strong beat. The Desecration is really a nice song to relax and listen too. MESEONAS is another strong production from Legion Of Doom.

The Smithereens was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from The Smithereens and Blown To Smithereens: The Best Of The Smithereens together. While no new The Smithereens album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Asia. Lead single “Beauty & Sadness” and “Strangers When We Meet” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This is my first The Smithereens Album and i must say i am blown away.
Strangers When We Meet gives taste of what makes The Smithereens special as a musician. Blood & Roses is another favourite of mine. In A Lonely Place is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Behind The Wall Of Sleep was the first single release from the album Blown To Smithereens: The Best Of The Smithereens. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. House We Used To Live in is a fine track on any terms. What sets Drown In My Own Tears apart is The Smithereens’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. The song A Girl Like You ending is my favorite… so catchy! This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Blues Before & After - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. No The Smithereens song has come close to capturing my attention as Yesterday Girl did. Top Of The Pops is a strong cut, one of many. I was truly moved when I heard Too Much Passion. Miles From Nowhere defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. When I listen to Time Won’t Let Me (Theme from ‘Timecop’) in my car when traffic ain’t going so good.

It has been four years M-People’ last studio CD, “Bizarre Fruit” which won Array Grammy Awards and was nominated for album of the year. There is so much to love about M-People, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Self-described as Pop with lots of words, M-People comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Exciting stuff.
Drive Time is nothing but pure genius. Listening to Love Rendezvous you can hear that M-People has still amazing chemistry with band members. Open Your Heart stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Precious Pearl is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. I like the idea behind Search For The Hero. No M-People song has come close to capturing my attention as Sight For Sore Eyes did. Sugar Town - arguably the best track on Bizarre Fruit album. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer.

This nine-song debut EP shows the promise that Massive Attack Vs Mad Professor has. This album has some very good songs like Backward Sucking (Heat Miser) and I Spy (Spying Glass). On No Protection album, Massive Attack Vs Mad Professor have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Great Trip-Hop right here!
I Spy (Spying Glass) without a doubt is the standout song of No Protection. Don’t judge Moving Dub (Better Things) on the first listening. I have all of Massive Attack Vs Mad Professor’s tracks and Eternal Feedback (Sly) is probably the most his introspective effort. Cool Monsoon (Weather Storm) is a very catchy tune. Trinity Dub (Three) is the albums biggest surprise. You have to get essence of the Bumper Ball Dub (Karmacoma)’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Radiation Ruling The Nation (Protection) is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done.

Brixon Varromiks (9:41) - awsome. 0′33′ had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Economic Mond Possa presents the marvelous mix of instruments on Hyderomastgroningem. Pig Brag Crack - A nice song. Prrifth is exquisite and different song. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Zurna Taksim - A strong beat.

Skyscraper is another favourite of mine. Dolnnen Vlast is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Ruins breathes new life into the music in Stone Eater. Pontemcorary Music #2 is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Music in Del Fanci Kant is cool as in all tracks of Hyderomastgroningem. Bonze From Hell - Check out that bassline! |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Ordinary People In Idaho is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done.

There is no doubt that Laura Branigan has talent. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like The Best Of Branigan.
This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Ti Amo - a classic song. Spanish Eddie - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. The song feels complete. Dim All The Lights is the most memorable and exquisite. Music and lyrics of How Am I Supposed To Live With creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Over You great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.The Lucky One is beautiful, yet underrated track. How Can I Help You Say Goodbye is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Self Control is another strong production from Laura Branigan.

I am not a real R&B: Soul music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Tougher Than Love’ really is amazing. After seeing I’m Still In Love, I had to have a good Diana King cd. Since completing 1995’s ‘I’m Still In Love’, Diana King fulfilled their contract with Savoy Records and where under no obligation to release another album. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
Black Roses (5:07) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! I think Tumble Down is the best song Diana King has ever done. I like the idea behind Treat Her Like A Lady. Can’t Do Without You - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Listening to Slow Rush you can hear that Diana King has still amazing chemistry with band members. The sound of Tougher Than Love is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Love Triangle marked the continuation of Diana King in style evolution. It’s such an underrated song. Shy Guy - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love.

The sound of The Filler Sweet City Jesus is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Skin Me motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Drizzlehell - Check out that bassline!
