Aoede – Push and Pull – CD (Aoede Muse Music) I liked the music on this release. There’s a slight grittiness to it, almost like a more melodic Yeah Yeah Yeahs. However, I feel that the female vocals and lyrics don’t have the punch that the...

Connie Kis Anderson – Once Again – CD (Kismana Music) Connie is a female country singer. The songs really aren’t bad, but Connie’s voice isn’t overly strong. I can see her doing well in a local bar or festival, but not much more. The...

Analog America – A Four Course Meal of Found Sound – CD (Hollow Earth Radio) This is basically a disc of found recorded phone conversations, answering machine messages and a couple of songs. While I love the concept on found art, I think the presentation...

Amelia – A Long, Lovely List of Repairs – CD (Slow Down Records) This is the kind of release I pray for when I pick up a band’s release out of the stack of CDs we get in to review. The music has a world music acoustical feel on the opening tune...

28 Degrees Taurus – How Do You Like Your Love? – CD (28 Degrees Taurus) This CD starts off with the tune “Single Suicide Mode” which has a hypnotic guitar swirl sound and steady rhythmic beat that reminds me of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The...

2Pac – Thug / Life – 2CD (Universal Records) Listing to this 2-pack 2Pac best of release, I have to say that I still don’t get his appeal as a rapper. Disc 1 is subtitled Thug, while Disc 2 is subtitled Life, and as far as the music goes I...

Calvin Yordy – Lost in the Dirac Sea – CD (Calvin Yordy) The music is typical “this is my first band” rock, in playing and presentation. There’s a youthful intenseness to the music and vocals that I’ve heard so many times before....

The Wag – Soundtrack to a Silent Movie – CD (The Wag) For the most part this band sounds like a band one would find at a bar filled with middle aged people. The music isn’t bad, it’s just that the band has that sound. There’s both female...

Omar Akram – Secret Journey – CD (Real Music) Despite the very new age look of the CD cover for this release, it’s actually pretty good. Omar‘s instrumental music is a combination of Classical, Middle Eastern and Gypsy. The resulting sound is...

Aerosmith – The Millennium Collection – CD (Universal Music Company) This collection of Aerosmith tunes all hail from the second coming of the band which took place from the late ’80s to the early ’90s. So while this CD might not have the...

A. Rex – Moving Backwards – CD (A. Rex Music) Despite its faults this release is pretty damn good. The piano-based tunes are catchy and the lyrics are good. The vocals are good as well. My problem is that they don’t have much flavor to them. The...

A Cure for Reality – A Cure for Reality – CD (SDMP Records) This CD started off decent enough with synth stylings overtop of a steady beat. From there it just degenerated into the same ol’ same ol, which ended up amounting to nothing more that new...
