David Bowie Outside mp3

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

David Bowie Outside imageThere is no doubt that David Bowie has talent and Outside is great.This disc has all of the essential David Bowie classics. There is so much to love about David Bowie, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. To me David Bowie is the best ever.

Outside is a exquisite, simple song by David Bowie at the top of his game. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. What sets A Small Plot Of Land apart is David Bowie’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Segue Baby Grace makes a person feel gorgeous. Hallo Spaceboy gives taste of what makes David Bowie special as a musician. The sound of The Motel is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. No David Bowie song has come close to capturing my attention as I Have Not Been To Oxford Town did. I now have No Control as one of my personal favorites. I can’t stop playing Segue Algeria Touchshriek. Lyrics of The Voyeur Of Utter Destruction are precise and evocative. David Bowie is one of artists that allow his songs like Segue Ramona A.Stone I Am With Name to stand on their own and be heard. Vocals of David Bowie in Wishful Beginnings really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. We Prick You can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what David Bowie is all about. Segue - Nathan Adler - arguably the best track on Outside album. When I listen to I’m Deranged in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Thru These Architect’s Eyes is probably the highlight of the album. This song stands out greatly from the others. Strangers When We Meet which is my favorite is a truly David Bowie sounding song.

Carly Simon Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 2) mp3

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Carly Simon Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 2) imageThis is the first studio album from Carly Simon since bad diagnosis in 1995. This is one of the best Cd’s Carly Simon has dropped to date. On Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 2) album, Carly Simon have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 2) constantly brilliant.

Best song on the album, love it. This is probably my favorite song on the album. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Turn Of The Tide is nothing but pure genius. Libby - A classic Carly Simon track. I like the agression and power of Have You Seen Me Lately. After you’ve listened to My New Boyfriend, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Voulez-Vous Danser is perfect. In Night Before Christmas full palet of sound is used by Carly Simon to accentuate the presentation. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. I hope to keep hearing Carly Simon works for a long time to come. I loved We Have No Secrets the first time I heard it. Why is another strong production from Carly Simon. Take Me Out To The Ball Game - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Put Back The Way into car stereo for your highway driving Itsy Bitsy Spider is one of my favorite songs by Carly Simon. Some of the arrangements found on Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 2) are surprisingly edgy. In My Luv Is Like A Red, Red Rose Carly Simon spins a tale you want to hear to the end.

Peter Murphy Cascade mp3

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Peter Murphy Cascade imageI think this is best Rock: Pop-Rock album. On the India charts, superstar Peter Murphy’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is the first studio album from Peter Murphy since bad diagnosis in 1995. Peter Murphy is one of my favourite bands of all time.

First time I heard Subway was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Gliding Like A Whale is nothing but pure genius. Opening track Disappearing shows the best of Peter Murphy. I love the melodic melody of Mercy Rain and to this day it makes me feel good. I’ll Fall With Your Knife is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. This song may be the most meaningful. In Sails Wave Goodbye you won’t find any flashy solos. Wild Birds Flock To Me - Okay, I just talked about depth. Huuvola is beautiful, yet underrated track. Cascade - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody.

Mylene Farmer Comme J’ai Mal (Single) mp3

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Mylene Farmer Comme J'ai Mal (Single) imageYou need to listen Comme J’ai Mal (Single). It’s really cool. I think this is best Rock: Pop-Rock album. Now signed to Mylene Farmer’s Audio Aubergine, the title track from second album “Comme J’ai Mal (Single)” leads Mylene Farmer’s back-to-school campaign. Enjoy the show.

Comme J’ai Mal (Instrumental) actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Mylene Farmer’s face. Comme J’ai Mal (Painkiller Mix) is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Comme J’ai Mal (Upside Down Remix) is probably one of Mylene Farmer’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to.

Jon Bon Jovi Fields Of Fire mp3

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Jon Bon Jovi Fields Of Fire imageFields Of Fire one of my best. I think this is best Rock: Pop-Rock album. This is one of greatest albums of Jon Bon Jovi. Exciting stuff.

I Thank You - My least favorite song on this album. Mrs. Robinson is one of the coolest songs Jon Bon Jovi has ever recorded. There is perfect mix of music in Let’s Make It Baby (Demo). The opening track I Don’t Like Mondays (Live) is very much like you would expect from other albums. I listened to the opening track Crazy (Live) and liked it a lot. Jon Bon Jovi emotions are reflected through Tumblin’ Dice (Live). Song Heaven Help Us (Live) is actually a funny song. Jon Bon Jovi allows each song to breathe and flourish. Rosie - I like this one. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Excellent vocals and musical performances. Although Mr. Sambo is very melodic it is far from sad.

The Stone Roses The Complete Stone Roses mp3

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

The Stone Roses The Complete Stone Roses imageAfter debuting at No. 1 last week, The Stone Roses’s album The Complete Stone Roses falls to No. 2 with 589,000, a sales slide of 84%. This -song debut EP shows the promise that The Stone Roses has. When you buy a The Stone Roses album, you know exactly what you’re getting! It is very deep stuff.

Tell Me as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. This track is clearly meant to showcase The Stone Roses’s vocal abilities. Here It Comes very upbeat. All Across The Sands is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. The song Elephant Stone ending is my favorite… so catchy! Once Full Fathom Five gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Made Of Stone is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. This song may be the most meaningful. Within the first few notes of She Bangs The Drums it’s perfectly clear that The Stone Roses is living this song. Mersey Paradise is a strong cut, one of many. Standing Here is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is I Wanna Be Adored. Waterfall is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. After few listenings I started to like I Am The Resurrection more and more. Where Angels Play is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. If you are a The Stone Roses fan, you will love Fools Gold. Voice and instruments in What The World Is Waiting For complement each other. Something Burning is another strong production from The Stone Roses. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with One Love.

Styx Greatest Hits mp3

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Styx Greatest Hits imageThere is no doubt that Styx has talent and Greatest Hits is great.Since Styx last CD (Greatest Hits) on 33rd Street Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. This is one of the best Cd’s Styx has dropped to date. Greatest Hits is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.

The Best Of Times is the most memorable and marvelous. Nice and different song. Too Much Time On My Hands is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Babe motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Show Me The Way is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. I find myself hearing bits of Renegade here and there throughout my waking hours. Blew our minds when we first heard Come Sail Away. Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) is one of the more up-tempo songs on Greatest Hits. Grand Illusion is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Still going through Greatest Hits and coming to appreciate Crystal Ball more and more with every listen. Suite Madame Blue is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Some call Miss America from Greatest Hits as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Overall a nice softer song. Don’t Let It End is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined.

Opening track The Downtown Lights shows the best of Rod Stewart. Leave Virgina Alone marked the continuation of Rod Stewart in style evolution. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. This gives taste of what makes Rod Stewart special as a musician. Lady Luck is one of the more up-tempo songs on Spanner in the Works. Rod Stewart is hitting on all cylinders in You’re The Star. I hope to keep hearing Rod Stewart works for a long time to come. Hang On St. Christopher - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Rod Stewart. A great put together song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing.

Bargain - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Love Ain’t For Keeping (2:10) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. One listen to the sheer beauty of My Wife was all I needed. The Song Is Over is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Getting In Tune - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. It’s such an underrated song. After you’ve listened to Behind Blue Eyes, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Won’t Get Fooled Again is a gorgeous, simple song by The Who at the top of his game. In Pure And Easy the music gets its power. Baby Don’t You Do It - For me, this is the best of the album.

It has been fourteen years Sheena Easton’ last studio CD, “My Cherie” which won Washington Area Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year.

Joan Osborne Relish mp3

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Joan Osborne Relish imageIt has been five years Joan Osborne’ last studio CD, “Relish” which won Washington Area Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. I am not a real Rock: Pop-Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Relish’ really is amazing. This is the first studio album from Joan Osborne since bad diagnosis in 1995. It is very exciting!

In Man In The Long Black Coat Joan Osborne is at his best. A unique and uplifting song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Dracula Moon is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Listening to One Of Us you can hear that Joan Osborne has still amazing chemistry with band members. Ladder - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Joan Osborne. From the moment you listen to Spider Web you’re hooked. If you are a Joan Osborne fan, you will love Let’s Just Get Naked. Help Me great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Crazy Baby has a beautifully haunting disco flavor.

The Tragically Hip Day For Night mp3

Monday, February 18th, 2008

The Tragically Hip Day For Night imageDay For Night CD - one of the best in Rock: Pop-Rock. Day For Night isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. The Tragically Hip had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. If you want to hear real Rock: Pop-Rock, get this record now!

Daredevil one of the best in my collection. Greasy Jungle is the more seemingly obscure song on Day For Night that bear up best to repeated listening. What sets Yawning Or Snarling apart is The Tragically Hip’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Fire In The Hole is a bit of a show-tune. I loved So Hard Done By the first time I heard it. Nautical Disaster I just LOVE this mix! I listened to the opening track Thugs and liked it a lot. Inevitability Of Death is a medium tempo tune. Opening track Scared shows the best of The Tragically Hip. An Inch An Hour - A classic The Tragically Hip track. Emergency is really the reason why I recommend buying Day For Night. Titanic Terrarium (4:34) - awsome. Impossibilium is a romantic if not formulaic ditty.

There is so much to love about Elton John, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. For older fans Made In England will put a massive smile accross your face. Made In England is what good Rock: Pop-Rock should be.

From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Best song on the album, love it. After you’ve listened to Cold, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. I can’t stop playing Pain. Elton John has astounded me with this amazing track. Latitude actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Elton John’s face. Please rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Simple and heartfelt closing track Man closes Made In England on a high note. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Blessed is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Made In England.

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Dishwalla Pet Your Friends imageDishwalla is work hard for Pet Your Friends. On Pet Your Friends album, Dishwalla have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Lead single “Pretty Babies” and “Haze” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Check it every song is worth the money for the Pet Your Friends CD!

Haze is the most memorable and gorgeous. I’ve found myself listening to Counting Blue Cars back to back and back many times. Explode one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Charlie Brown’s Parents is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. One listen to the sheer beauty of Miss Emma Peel was all I needed. Moisture - Check out that bassline! Dishwalla emotions are reflected through The Feeder. All She Can See - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Dishwalla has astounded me with this amazing track. Date With Sarah - arguably the best track on Pet Your Friends album.

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Jefferson Starship Deep Space - Virgin Sky imageDeep Space - Virgin Sky CD - one of the best in Rock: Pop-Rock. ‘Deep Space - Virgin Sky’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Jefferson Starship’s debut, ‘Deep Space - Virgin Sky’, does not fit easily into one genre. Deep Space - Virgin Sky is not something you should pass up.

This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Deep Space - Virgin Sky. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. It took me a little time but I ended up loving I’m On Fire. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Best song on the album, love it. Gold is the first taste of the new album. The Light - a classic song. Crown Of Creation - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody.

If I may, I suggest “Raising Cain”. That one song is amazing!

Sway gives good insight into the truths. After about the third Lose Myself In You listen through, I began to believe this song is The Mission’s essence. What sets Swoon apart is The Mission’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Aftergolw (reprise) is worth the money. Blew our minds when we first heard Stars Don’t Shine Without You. Celebration - I like this one. Cry Like A Baby - This one is lively and fun. Heaven Knows hits the heart. All of songs on Neverland and have something to say letting alone Swim With The Dolphins. I like Neverland (vocal) because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Daddy’s Going To Heaven Now without a doubt is the standout song of Neverland.

The Rolling Stones Stripped mp3

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

The Rolling Stones Stripped imageI think this is best Rock: Pop-Rock album. eight years ago, The Rolling Stones briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Dead Flowers”. Stripped carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. If you love The Rolling Stones as much as I do, then The Rolling Stones Stripped is the CD for you!

Dead Flowers is the song that really did it for me. I believe I’m Free is one of the most astounding, heartfelt songs ever written. Simple and heartfelt closing track Let It Bleed closes Stripped on a high note. From the moment you listen to Like A Rolling Stone you’re hooked. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Little Baby. One listen to the sheer beauty of Love In Vain was all I needed. Music and lyrics of Not Fade Away creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Shine A Light is a very catchy tune. Slipping Away one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Street Fighting Man is beautiful, yet underrated track. Sweet Virginia is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything The Rolling Stones released so far. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with The Spider and The Fly. Some of the arrangements found on Stripped are surprisingly edgy.

The Charlatans The Charlatans mp3

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

The Charlatans The Charlatans imageThe Charlatans really suprise for me from The Charlatans. After seeing Nine Acre Court, I had to have a good The Charlatans CD. Great album The Charlatans - just must listen it! The Charlatans touched my soul like nothing else.

Feeling Holy is a bit of a show-tune. The Charlatans sings Just Lookin’ in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. The Charlatans allows each song to breathe and flourish. I now have Bullet Comes as one of my personal favorites. I love the melodic melody of Here Comes A Soul Saver and to this day it makes me feel good. Just When You’re Thinkin’ Things Over is probably one of The Charlatans’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Don’t judge Tell Everyone on the first listening. Toothache is simply marvelous. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of The Charlatans. See It Through has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets The Charlatans’s strong vocals come to the fore. I was truly moved when I heard Thank You.

Danny Boy gets you up and jumping. Dink’s Blues makes a person feel exquisite. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Clouds In My Coffee 1965-1995 (CD 3). Although Someone Waits For You is very melodic it is far from sad. No Carly Simon song has come close to capturing my attention as Born To Break My Heart did. I find myself hearing bits of Time After Time here and there throughout my waking hours. Carly Simon breathes new life into the music in What Shall We Do With The Child. One listen to the sheer beauty of I’ve Got A Crush On You was all I needed. Something Wonderful is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music.

Lifeless Dead is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Above have ended. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener.

Incognito 100 Degrees and Rising imageIt’s natural for Incognito to take a stab at ‘Where Did We Go Wrong’ considering her long-professed love for Click-B. ‘100 Degrees and Rising’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. This disc has all of the essential Incognito classics. 100 Degrees and Rising is my first Incognito Album and i must say i am blown away.

Good Love is absolutely incredible. Album opener One Hundred and Rising is a bright, upbeat ditty. Roots (Back To A Way Of Life) one of the best in my collection. Overall a nice softer song. Too Far Gone is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. After The Fall (Instrumental) is a exquisite sing-along. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. This track is clearly meant to showcase Incognito’s vocal abilities. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on 100 Degrees and Rising. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Millennium (Instrumental) because the melody in the chorus is so good. Time Has Come as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Jacob’s Ladder (Instrumental) is perfect.

Mylene Farmer Xxl (Single) mp3

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Mylene Farmer Xxl (Single) imageOn Xxl (Single) album, Mylene Farmer have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Liza Moon has compared writing for Mylene Farmer’s new album to that on ‘Xxl (Single)’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. On the Luxembourg charts, superstar Mylene Farmer’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Such great and happy songs.

Xxl (Single Dance Mix) is a bit different from Mylene Farmer stereotypical stuff. Xxl (Distorted Dance Mix) - I just love it. Still going through Xxl (Single) and coming to appreciate Xxl (Extra Large Remix) more and more with every listen. Overall a nice softer song.

Queen Made in Heaven mp3

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Queen Made in Heaven imageThis is the first studio album from Queen since bad diagnosis in 1995. Queen is work hard for Made in Heaven. I guess you need to listen Made in Heaven as soon as possible. IF you love Queen, ‘Made in Heaven’ Mp3’s is the best!

A fantastic track full of wonder. Let Me Live is perfect. Mother Love gets you up and jumping. You can find feelings on this piece of art. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Heaven For Everyone (5:36) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Too Much Love Will Kill You sets the tone for the entire album. Music in You Don’t Fool Me is gorgeous as in all tracks of Made in Heaven. Such hits like A Winter’s Tale will leave you hooked. It’s A Beautiful Day (Reprise) / Yeah - I just love it. Made In Heaven (Instrumental) is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit.

The Dandy Warhols Dandy’s Rule OK? mp3

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

The Dandy Warhols Dandy's Rule OK? imageDandy’s Rule OK? one of my best. Great album Dandy’s Rule OK? - just must listen it! On the Andorra charts, superstar The Dandy Warhols’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Enjoy the show.

Blew our minds when we first heard The Dandy Warhols’ T.V. Theme Song. I find myself hearing bits of Ride here and there throughout my waking hours. Best Friend is beautiful, yet underrated track. This track is a great song that still never gets old. (Tony, This Song Is Called) Lou Weed is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Nothin’ To Do is a striking and quite long song. The Coffee and Tea Wrecks is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Genius stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. I like Dick because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Just Try is a strong cut, one of many. This song may be the most meaningful. What sets Grunge Betty apart is The Dandy Warhols’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Album opener It’s A Fast Driving Rave-Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes (Prelude) is a bright, upbeat ditty. I listened to the opening track It’s A Fast Driving Rave-Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes and liked it a lot. Musically It’s A Fast Driving Rave-Up With The Dandy Warhols Sixteen Minutes (Finale) is superior to other tracks in Dandy’s Rule OK?.

David Bowie Buddha Of Suburbia mp3

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

David Bowie Buddha Of Suburbia imageBuddha Of Suburbia carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Since completing 1995’s ‘Buddha Of Suburbia’, David Bowie fulfilled their contract with Discos y Cintas Denver and where under no obligation to release another album. David Bowie is work hard for Buddha Of Suburbia. Buddha Of Suburbia is the best essence of David Bowie.

Charming song, great melody. I think South Horizon is the best song David Bowie has ever done. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. David Bowie emotions are reflected through Bleed Like A Craze Dad. Strangers When We Meet is perfect song though, very addictive. I loved Dead Against It the first time I heard it. Untitled #1 as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Ian Fish UK Heir is my favorite song on Buddha Of Suburbia.

Bonnie Tyler Best Ballads mp3

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Bonnie Tyler Best Ballads imageAfter debuting at No. 1 last week, Bonnie Tyler’s album Best Ballads falls to No. 2 with 978,000, a sales slide of 83%. Best Ballads isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. While no new Bonnie Tyler album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Asia. Best Ballads is one of Bonnie Tyler best albums

No Bonnie Tyler song has come close to capturing my attention as Against The Wind did. Angel Heart is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Call Me is probably one of Bonnie Tyler’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. God Gave Love To You one is one of the better boring ones. Island is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. It’s A Heartache one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Lost In France is possibly the best song Bonnie Tyler has come up. I believe Lovers Again is one of the most amazing, heartfelt songs ever written. Loving You Is A Dirty Job But Somebody’s Gotta Do It pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Silhouette In Red is the albums biggest surprise. Don’t judge Stay on the first listening. Straight From The Heart hits the heart. To Love Somebody is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. After you’ve listened to Total Eclipse Of The Heart, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Best Ballads. Overall a nice softer song.

Pop Will Eat Itself Two Fingers My Friends mp3

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

Pop Will Eat Itself Two Fingers My Friends image‘Two Fingers My Friends’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. While no new Pop Will Eat Itself album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Europe. Great album Two Fingers My Friends - just must listen it! Such great and happy songs.

It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Familius Horribilus (Jah Mega Wob #2) is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Pop Will Eat Itself ever produced. Underbelly (Renegade Soundwave Blackout Mix) makes a person feel marvelous. Fatman The Hoodlum Priest (Fatboy Mix) is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Home (Orb Sweet Sin and Salvation Mix) is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Don’t judge Cape Connection (Transglobal Underground Cossack In Ufoencounter Confusion!) on the first listening. Menofearthereaper (The Concrete No Fee, No Fear Mix) gets you up and jumping. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Everything’s Cool (Youth’s Safe As Milk Mix) because the melody in the chorus is so good. R.S.V.P. (Made In Japan, Live At The Budokan - Apollo 440 Mix) is perfect song though, very addictive. Babylon (Loop Guru Babylon A Dub Fire Mix) is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Auslander (Die Krupps Mix) has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Pop Will Eat Itself’s strong vocals come to the fore. You have to get essence of the Familus Horriblus (Hia W.Y.G. Mix)’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Some call Cape Connection (Golden Claw Musics Cloak and Dagger Mix) from Two Fingers My Friends as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. First time I heard Intense was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.This is one hell of a track. Pop Will Eat Itself sings his heart out in Cape Connection (Tgu Aliens, Bodacious Aliens Mix). The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. R.S.V.P. (Fluke Lunch Mix) - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Pop Will Eat Itself. I hope to keep hearing Pop Will Eat Itself works for a long time to come. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Pop Will Eat Itself.

Take That Never Forget mp3

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Take That Never Forget imageI guess you need to listen Never Forget as soon as possible. Take That had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Since Take That last CD (Never Forget) on Alta Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. Never Forget is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.

Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Babe (Live MTV’s Most Wanted) on Never Forget is solid and easy to listen to.
