This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by R&B - Various Artists. There is no doubt that R&B - Various Artists has talent and Soulsation 25th anniversary collection cd2 is great.R&B - Various Artists’s debut, ‘Soulsation 25th anniversary collection cd2′, does not fit easily into one genre. If you want to hear real R&B: Soul, get this record now!
People Make The World Go ‘Round is almost impossible to review. From the moment you listen to Teenage Symphony you’re hooked. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Simple and heartfelt closing track Lookin’ Through The Windows closes Soulsation 25th anniversary collection cd2 on a high note. Doctor My Eyes motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Little Bitty Pretty One has a fun tempo. If I Have To Move A Mountain is probably the most interesting track on Soulsation 25th anniversary collection cd2. Rockin’ Robin - This one is lively and fun. I Wanna Be Where You Are is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Voice and instruments in Ben complement each other. Skywriter is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. You Made Me What I Am is the gorgeous blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. What sets Hallelujah Day apart is R&B - Various Artists’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Corner Of The Sky pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Get It Together - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. After few listenings I started to like Dancing Machine more and more. It’s Too Late To Change The Time is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. In Whatever You Got, I Want full palet of sound is used by R&B - Various Artists to accentuate the presentation.

Primavera En Salonico CD - one of the best in New Age. Savina Yannatou is work hard for Primavera En Salonico. Primavera En Salonico really suprise for me from Savina Yannatou. Primavera En Salonico constantly brilliant.
El Sueno De La Hija A Del Rey which is my favorite is a truly Savina Yannatou sounding song. Los Bilbilicos is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Morenica makes a person feel cool. Savina Yannatou breathes new life into the music in Tres Hermanicas Eran. Morena is simple, dignified and effective, Savina Yannatou refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Yedi Kule rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. It’s such an underrated song. Por Que Lloras, Blanca Nina is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Savina Yannatou has astounded me with this amazing track. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Nani Nani because the melody in the chorus is so good. Jaco - A classic Savina Yannatou track. Ya Salio De La Mar La Galana is Savina Yannatou’s best work in years. El Encalador is a bit of a show-tune. Durme, Hermoso Hijico - A nice song. Primavera En Salonico is simply astounding.

Self-described as Rock with lots of words, Hugh Hopper comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. I guess you need to listen Cruel But Fair as soon as possible. Since Hugh Hopper last CD (Cruel But Fair) on Acme Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. To me Hugh Hopper is the best ever.
Jannakota have really caught my ear and imagination. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Square Enough Fire is the albums biggest surprise. Rocky Recluse is almost impossible to review. In Bjorn Free you won’t find any flashy solos. Soul Fate - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody.

This disc has all of the essential Robert Rich and Brian Lustmord classics. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Robert Rich and Brian Lustmord’s album Stalker falls to No. 2 with 474,000, a sales slide of 95%. After seeing Elemental Trigger, I had to have a good Robert Rich and Brian Lustmord CD. Stalker constantly brilliant.
Lyrics of Synergistic Perceptions are precise and evocative. I like Hidden Refuge because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Omnipresent Boundary, which shows, blatantly, how much Robert Rich and Brian Lustmord has evolved as a singer. From the moment you listen to Undulating Terrain you’re hooked. A Point Of No Return - I just love it.

For older fans The Rite of Strings will put a massive smile accross your face. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Stanley Clarke. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for Stanley Clarke’s new album to that on ‘The Rite of Strings’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Such great and happy songs.
Stanley Clarke breathes new life into the music in Renassaince. Blew our minds when we first heard Song to John (Dedicated to John Coltrane). Chilean pipe song still maintains something of a specific flourish. Topanga I just LOVE this mix! From the moment you listen to Morocco you’re hooked. Best song on the album, love it. Stanley Clarke offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Memory canyon is one of the best records ever.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by MxPx. You need to listen Teenage Politics. It’s really cool. There is so much to love about MxPx, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Teenage Politics is the best album I have heard in a long time
Put Do & Don’t into car stereo for your highway driving Some of the arrangements found on Teenage Politics are surprisingly edgy. Punk Rawk Show - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. False Fiction is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Falling Down is a strong cut, one of many. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Money Tree because the melody in the chorus is so good. Rainy Day is possibly the best song MxPx has come up. Like Sand Through The Hourglass… So Are The Days Of Our Lives is a excellent song and it grows on you. Democracy is the first taste of the new album. Something More is a great opener for Teenage Politics. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Misunderstanding is absolutely incredible. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Study Humans. Album opener Inquiring Minds Want To Know is a bright, upbeat ditty. Nice and different song. Some call Americanism from Teenage Politics as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Bonus Track - MxPx first major hit.

This disc has all of the essential New Age - Various Artists classics. John Digester has compared writing for New Age - Various Artists’s new album to that on ‘Beijing Angelic Choir - Lullabies From Around The World’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. I am not a real New Age music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Beijing Angelic Choir - Lullabies From Around The World’ really is amazing. Last Hot Album by New Age - Various Artists
Lullaby (Brahms) (Germany) is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Lyrics of Lullaby (Italy) are precise and evocative. Children Are Asleep (Russia) - To me, this is the best song on the Beijing Angelic Choir - Lullabies From Around The World. You have to get essence of the Autumn Night (England)’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Sleep, Darling Baby (Mexico) - A strong beat. Lullaby (Schubert) (Austria) very upbeat. Lullaby (America) - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of New Age - Various Artists. Flow Gently Sweet Afton (J.E. Spilman) is a bit different from New Age - Various Artists stereotypical stuff. Voice of New Age - Various Artists in Lullaby (Japan) is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. I was truly moved when I heard Yi-Li Yi-Li (Phillipines). Lullaby (France) actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on New Age - Various Artists’s face. Lullaby (India) is the most memorable and marvelous.

On Waiting For The Punchline album, Extreme have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. This is one of greatest albums of Extreme. There is so much to love about Extreme, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Waiting For The Punchline - another great offering from Extreme.
I listened to the opening track Evilangelist and liked it a lot. Fair-weather Faith - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love.

This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Naked is a good listen every once in a while. Once you hear No Respect, you will listen to it over and over.

After debuting at No. 1 last week, Various Artists’s album A whiter shade of pale falls to No. 2 with 321,000, a sales slide of 70%.

Lead single “A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Single Version; A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Single Version))” and “Ladies Of The Canyon” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. A whiter shade of pale is not something you should pass up.
Ladies Of The Canyon very upbeat.

After seeing Welcome To The Diamond Mine, I had to have a good The Dickies CD. This album has some very good songs like Welcome To The Diamond Mine and Golden Boys. This disc has all of the essential The Dickies classics. It is very exciting!
Golden Boys is a striking and quite long song. This song may be the most meaningful. Zeppelina is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. I’m Stuck In A Condo (With Marlon Brando) is worth the money. Just Say Yes is one of these floating songs. Elevator (In The Brain Hotel) to me is the best you can get from The Dickies. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Make It So one is one of the better boring ones. I’m On Crack has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. I believe Roadkill is one of the most gorgeous, heartfelt songs ever written. The Dickies rocks harder than ever with House Of Raoul. The Dickies is hitting on all cylinders in Song Of The Dawn.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Cryptic Wintermoon energies, virtually a rebirth. Cryptic Wintermoon’s debut, ‘Voyage Dans La Lune Demo’, does not fit easily into one genre. You need to listen Voyage Dans La Lune Demo. It’s really cool. It is very deep stuff.
This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. .. and Overthere Ill Cry was the first single release from the album Voyage Dans La Lune Demo. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Voyage Dans La Lune Demo. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Voyage Dans La Lune. Sandmans Last Lullaby is the funkiest number on the album. Necromancer (Mix) is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo.

Now signed to James Brown’s Alta Records, the title track from second album “Living in America” leads James Brown’s back-to-school campaign. You need to listen Living in America. It’s really cool. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of James Brown on ‘Georgia-Lina’. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
Cold Sweat is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. (So Tired Of Standing Still We Got To) Move On is outstanding work of James Brown. James Brown emotions are reflected through I’m Real. Gravity as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. This track is full of harmonies and gets Living in America off to a relaxing start. Just Do It catches attention immediately, I was truly moved when I heard Show Me. Can’t Get Any Harder gets you up and jumping. Charming song, great melody.

Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Sam Cooke. Voice and instruments in I Love You For Sentimental Reasons complement each other. If you are a Sam Cooke fan, you will love Wonderful World. Summertime is pretty funky and mellow. Chain Gang is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. As always, Sam Cooke’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Musically Twistin’ The Night Away is superior to other tracks in Wonderful World: the Best of Sam Cooke. Some call Sad Mood from Wonderful World: the Best of Sam Cooke as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Having A Party I just LOVE this mix! One listen to the sheer beauty of Bring It On Home To Me was all I needed.

Piano Ballad (Just Right) is a great opener for Funk on Fire- The Mercury Anthology Disc 1. Fopp is new, fresh, and hypnotizing.

IF YOU LIKE ALL Army Of Lovers’S SONG GO FOR IT! After debuting at No. 1 last week, Army Of Lovers’s album Les Greatest Hits falls to No. 2 with 932,000, a sales slide of 76%. Since completing 1995’s ‘Candyman Messiah’, Army Of Lovers fulfilled their contract with Captains of Industry (record label) and where under no obligation to release another album. Les Greatest Hits is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Everytime You Bie is a great opener for Les Greatest Hits. Give My Life - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Army Of Lovers. Grucified - I just love it. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. A fantastic track full of wonder. I listened to the opening track Judgment Day and liked it a lot. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Life Is Fantastic 95 Remix is probably the most interesting track on Les Greatest Hits. Army Of Lovers offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. My Army Of Lovers is simple, dignified and effective, Army Of Lovers refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Put Obsession into car stereo for your highway driving I was truly moved when I heard Requiem. Charming song, great melody.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of White Zombie energies, virtually a rebirth. Lead single “Electric Head Pt. 1 (The Agony)” and “Super-Charger Heaven” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. On the Slovakia charts, superstar White Zombie’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. You need to listen Astro-Creep: 2000 right now
No White Zombie song has come close to capturing my attention as Super-Charger Heaven did. I think Real Solution #9 is the best song White Zombie has ever done. Nice and different song. Electric Head Pt. 2 (The Ecstasy) makes a person feel astounding. Grease Paint and Monkey Brains is a strong cut, one of many. I, Zombie defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. More Human Than Human sets the tone for the entire album. It’s a great pleasure to listen to El Phantasmo and The Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama from the beginning to the end. Blur The Technicolor is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer.

IF YOU LIKE ALL Bad Seeds And Zakary Thaks’S SONG GO FOR IT! A Texas Battle Of The Bands! is the best album I have heard in a long time
I’m A King Bee is probably one of Bad Seeds And Zakary Thaks’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Only one song from A Texas Battle Of The Bands! named All Night Long really got me. Sick And Tired is marvelous and different song. Zilch Part I one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. What sets Zilch Part 2 apart is Bad Seeds And Zakary Thaks’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Sock It To Me Baby good vocals. Love Is A Beautiful Thing is a song to enjoy for years to come. Mustang Sally without a doubt is the standout song of A Texas Battle Of The Bands!. First time I heard 3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.All of songs on A Texas Battle Of The Bands! and have something to say letting alone My Little Red Book. I’m A Man is really a nice song to relax and listen too.

Various Artists’s debut, ‘To the knife’, does not fit easily into one genre. I am not a real Pop music type of person, but i have to admit ‘To the knife’ really is amazing. Various Artists was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Various Artists and To the knife together. Enjoy the show.
One listen to the sheer beauty of The Knife was all I needed. In Your Mind the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Opposite, which shows, blatantly, how much Various Artists has evolved as a singer. Forest have really caught my ear and imagination. The sound in Phoenix is really warm and Various Artists’s signature voice is still very much present. Listening to Animal Torture you can hear that Various Artists has still amazing chemistry with band members. Black Thing - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Various Artists offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself.

Alien Love Secrets CD - one of the best in Rock: Progressive. Steve Vai’s debut, ‘Alien Love Secrets’, does not fit easily into one genre. On Alien Love Secrets album, Steve Vai have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. If you want to hear real Rock: Progressive, get this record now!
Juice - This one is lively and fun. Musically Die To Live is superior to other tracks in Alien Love Secrets. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. I like to sing along with Ya-Yo Gakk, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Kill The Guy With The Ball B: The God Eaters is one of my favorite songs by Steve Vai. Steve Vai must have run out of lyrics on the next track Tender Surrender.

nine years ago, Ataraxia briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Verdigris Wounds”. Lead single “The Moon Sang On The April Chair” and “Verdigris Wounds” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. The Moon Sang On The April Chair - Red Deep Dirges Of A Moon isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Ataraxia is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Verdigris Wounds pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. The Tale Of The Crying Fire-flies still maintains something of a specific flourish. Colouring Nocturnal Lemons is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. A great put together song. You have to get essence of the Satis Vixi’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Song Lady Lazarus is actually a funny song. Spiritus Ad Vindictam is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction.

I am not a real Reggae music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Presenting Dub’ really is amazing. I guess you need to listen Presenting Dub as soon as possible. This disc has all of the essential Lee Scratch Perry classics. Presenting Dub is one of Lee Scratch Perry best albums
I was truly moved when I heard Having Fun Dub. Rocking The Dub is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Dub To Love sets the tone for the entire album. Ariel Dub is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Lee Scratch Perry ever produced. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Rough Dub is marvelous work of Lee Scratch Perry. King Tubby Dub is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Scientist Dub is one of the best records ever. I believe Army Dub is one of the most gorgeous, heartfelt songs ever written. In Queen Dub the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. A fantastic track full of wonder. Make Up Dub very upbeat. Sound Of Dub - To me, this is the best song on the Presenting Dub. Star Dub is another favourite of mine.

Knowoneness is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Electric Skychurch had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Self-described as Ambient with lots of words, Electric Skychurch comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Last Hot Album by Electric Skychurch
Creation is such a gorgeous and optimistic song that things can get just better. River Conscience is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Although Hipgnosis is very melodic it is far from sad. Limp is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Voice of Electric Skychurch in Caravan is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Don’t judge Knowoneness on the first listening.

Lara and Reyes had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Lara and Reyes’s new album to that on ‘Guitarras Hermanas’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This disc has all of the essential Lara and Reyes classics. If I may, I suggest “Cielo sin Nubes (Uncloudy Sky)”. That one song is amazing!
In Sabor a Mi (A Taste of Me) the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Strong, powerful vocals of Lara and Reyes in Viene Clareando (Becoming Clear) are very impressive. Barrios de San Antonio (Neighborhoods of San Antonio) - Check out that bassline! Bajo las Sombras (Beneath the Shadows) is a amazing song and it grows on you. Besos Rosas (Pink Kisses) is one of these floating songs. Ojos del Mar (Eyes of the Sea) pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. The sound in Cotton Candy is really warm and Lara and Reyes’s signature voice is still very much present. Lejos de Aqui (Far Away) is the funkiest number on the album. Vocals of Lara and Reyes in Waltz for John and Paco really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm.

For older fans Light Classics will put a massive smile accross your face. Thom Yorke has compared writing for Sojiro’s new album to that on ‘Light Classics’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since Sojiro last CD (Light Classics) on Anthem Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. One of Sojiro’s best albums yet.
I now have (Japanese Titles) as one of my personal favorites. The opening track (Japanese Titles) is very much like you would expect from other albums. (Japanese Titles) is simple, dignified and effective, Sojiro refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. It took me a little time but I ended up loving (Japanese Titles). In (Japanese Titles) the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. (Japanese Titles) hits the heart. I came to like (Japanese Titles). Sojiro is one of artists that allow his songs like (Japanese Titles) to stand on their own and be heard. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Light Classics. Although (Japanese Titles) is very melodic it is far from sad. Listening to (Japanese Titles) you can hear that Sojiro has still amazing chemistry with band members. (Japanese Titles) sets the tone for the entire album. (Japanese Titles) - This is a very lively song. (Japanese Titles) to me is the best you can get from Sojiro. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. (Japanese Titles) has a fun tempo. (Japanese Titles) is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. First time I heard (Japanese Titles) was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Sojiro.

Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, Toy Dolls comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Toy Dolls energies, virtually a rebirth. I think this is best Rock: Punk-Rock album. Exciting stuff.
Poltergeist In The Pantry is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Please Release Me–Darling I L gives good insight into the truths. Taken For A Mug is excellent and different song. The sound in Any Dream Will Do is really warm and Toy Dolls’s signature voice is still very much present. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Harry’s Hands, which shows, blatantly, how much Toy Dolls has evolved as a singer. I can’t stop humming along David’s Xr2. Pot Luck Percy without a doubt is the standout song of Orcastrated. Ivy’s Lurid Lips is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Toy Dolls released so far. The Psychosurgery is worth the money. Ron Dixon Dumped D-D is a exquisite sing-along. Although Lazy Sunday Afternoon is very melodic it is far from sad. Bowling Barmy is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Orcastrated is a very catchy tune.

I listened to the opening track Rough Embrace and liked it a lot. Touchwood (Forest Mix) is one of the more up-tempo songs on Dream Mixes I CD1. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Virtually Fields because the melody in the chorus is so good. Firetongues (Break Freak Mix) is the first taste of the new album. San Rocco very upbeat. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Dream Mixes I CD1. Change Of The Gods is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Tangerine Dream released so far. Bride In Cold Tears (Motown…) as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature.

There were many famous songs of Dance - Various Artists available. There is no doubt that Dance - Various Artists has talent and Blanco y Negro Mix 2 (cd2) is great.I guess you need to listen Blanco y Negro Mix 2 (cd2) as soon as possible. Such great and happy songs.
Music in DIGITAL EXPRESS - The club is excellent as in all tracks of Blanco y Negro Mix 2 (cd2). Dance - Various Artists must have run out of lyrics on the next track GREED - Pump up the volume (Remix). LA MANCHA - Picha corta is marvelous work of Dance - Various Artists. MO-DO - Gema tanzen is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Still going through Blanco y Negro Mix 2 (cd2) and coming to appreciate EINSTEIN DOCTOR DEE JAY - Cosmic radio station more and more with every listen. WINX - Don’t laugh (4:18) a good melody. SADDEN & DJ GUILLE - Con su blanca palidez - A classic Dance - Various Artists track. I listened to the opening track TWENTY 2 TWO - Back for good and liked it a lot. 840 - I want your love - arguably the best track on Blanco y Negro Mix 2 (cd2) album. TWO POWER - Someone, somewhere (In summer time) - To me, this is the best song on the Blanco y Negro Mix 2 (cd2). BLANKO Y NEGRO MIX RADIO - This one makes me want to not only sing along.

This is one of greatest albums of Nightfall. Nightfall was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Nightfall and Eons Aura together. Eons Aura CD - one of the best in Metal. Eons Aura is not something you should pass up.
Ardour Was I is such a exquisite and optimistic song that things can get just better. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Thor gives good insight into the truths.

Great album Little Child - just must listen it! It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Bai Bang energies, virtually a rebirth. I am not a real Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Little Child’ really is amazing. Little Child is awesome.
Ridin’ High is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Only The Strong is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Little Child. In I Want It the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Little Child is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Bai Bang rocks harder than ever with Lay Down. Raise Your Fist is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. F.O.F.D. is nothing but pure genius. Should I Stay Or Should I Go is a amazing song and it grows on you. Get Off is probably the most interesting track on Little Child. A unique and uplifting song. Hideway actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Bai Bang’s face.
