MS MR – Secondhand Rapture – CD The dark brooding electronica sound drew me in and the soaring harmonies kept me deeply involved. MS MR are a great blend of sullen and sultry with rhythm and hooks to spare. The lyrics are another strong point with plenty of...

Motochrist – 666 Pack – CD (RAFR) More of the good stuff from these guys, punk/hard rock riffage, metal wah wah leads. This reminds me of a better produced Paul Diamond Blow. (Seattle arena rock hero) and one of the guys is even named Mark Diamond! I...

Marilyn Manson – Holywood – CD (Nothing Records) This marks the return of the old style of Marilyn Mason after his last albums foray into glam. While it is dark and gloomy it is missing something. Nothing about it really draws me in and makes me want to...

The Monitors – Show Me on the Doll – CD (Wolf Sandwich) Screaming punk with a cigarette voice and alternative flair. There are some songs that I really like on this release and some I just downright can’t stand. I enjoyed the cover of Devo’s “I...

Malone, Michelle – Hello Out There – CD (SBS Records) This is music! “Caffeine and Catharsis” has a Dave Matthew’s feel, and the presence of Emily Saliers does give it an Indigo Girls mood at times. But well-written songs and strong...

Modern English – Life in the Gladhouse 1980-1984 – CD (Beggars Banquet / 4AD) The first thing I think of when I hear the name Modern English is their big hit “I Melt with You” and the movie Valley Girls which featured the song. Since I grew up in the ‘80s...

The Monkeywrench – Electric Children – CD (Estrus Records) Seattle punk veterans get together for round two of their psychedelic blues punk incarnation, The Monkeywrench. This offering is a little more psych than the last record but personally I like it...

Medicine Drum-Supernature – CD (Cyber Octave) I love music that has a mystical feel about it. I also love the inspirational playing of hand drums. This release combines the two with synth to produce an infectious dance groove. Think of the soundtrack to Baraka...

Bob Marley & The Wailers – Rastaman Vibration – CD (Universal Music) The Rastaman Vibration CD is a bit on the mellow end of the spectrum as compared to the other Bob Marley releases. None of the tunes really stood out that much, still it’s a nice CD...

The Moody Blues – The Best of Moody Blues – CD (Universal Records) This is part of Universal Records continuing series of 20th century masters. Moody Blues were one of my favorite progressive rock bands while growing up. This disc contains in my opinion...

Mother Superior – Mother Superior – CD (Triple X Records) What I find amazing about this release is that Henry Rollins produced it and it’s on Triple X records. This sounds like one of the hard rock bar bands from the late ‘80s. What’s the world coming to?...

Samantha Mumba – Gotta Tell You – CD (Interscope) Yes this is a pop album. So what I’m a sucker for well done pop. I think the title track is a great danceable pop song. The second track “Body II Body” is pretty interesting with it’s sample of David...
