Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Terje Rypdal and David Darling on ‘Laser’. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Terje Rypdal and David Darling. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Terje Rypdal and David Darling’s album Eos falls to No. 2 with 674,000, a sales slide of 61%. Terje Rypdal and David Darling is one of my favourite bands of all time.
I believe Eos is one of the most amazing, heartfelt songs ever written. Bedtime Story - A strong beat. Light Years is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Melody is Terje Rypdal and David Darling’s best work in years. Mirage - arguably the best track on Eos album. Adagietto is a marvelous sing-along.

Lead single “abertura do Circo” and “Beatriz” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. There is so much to love about Chico Buarque, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Chico Buarque was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Chico Buarque and O grande Circo Mistico together. This is my first Chico Buarque Album and i must say i am blown away.
I like the agression and power of Beatriz. The opening track Valsa dos clowns is very much like you would expect from other albums. Voice and instruments in Opereta do casamento complement each other. The first time I listened to A histria de Lily Braun I was struck by its perfect sound. Oremus is absolutely incredible. Meu namorado has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. I was truly moved when I heard Ciranda da Bailarina. Sobre todas as coisas is worth the money. O tatuador is the more seemingly obscure song on O grande Circo Mistico that bear up best to repeated listening. Such hits like A bela e a fera will leave you hooked. O Circo Mstico is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. The sound in Na Carreira is really warm and Chico Buarque’s signature voice is still very much present.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Boytronic. There is so much to love about Boytronic, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. It has been one years Boytronic’ last studio CD, “The Working model” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Exciting stuff.
This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. My Baby Lost Its Way is the albums biggest surprise. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on The Working model. You actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Boytronic’s face. Red Chips - arguably the best track on The Working model album. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Diamonds And Loving Arms. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Recycled makes a person feel excellent.

Heaven 17 was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Heaven 17 and Luxury Gap together. Self-described as Rock with lots of words, Heaven 17 comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. While no new Heaven 17 album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1983 tour in Europe. Smart music for smart people.
Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Luxury Gap. Key To The World is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Temptation because the melody in the chorus is so good. Come Live With Me can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Heaven 17 is all about. After few listenings I started to like Lady Ice and Mr. Hex more and more. This song may be the most meaningful. You have to get essence of the The Best Kept Secret’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Puhdys on ‘Computerkarriere’. It’s natural for Puhdys to take a stab at ‘Computerkarriere’ considering her long-professed love for Godsplague. Since completing 1983’s ‘Computerkarriere’, Puhdys fulfilled their contract with Capitol Records and where under no obligation to release another album. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
It took me a little time but I ended up loving Flieg Mit Mir. Jahreszeiten is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Stop Baby, Stop is simple, dignified and effective, Puhdys refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Karriere is the albums biggest surprise. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Tv-Show is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Computertraume. Computerman is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Schopfung without a doubt is the standout song of Computer-Karriere.

Planet Rock (Instrumental) is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Planet Rock (Bonus Beat) is probably one of Afrika Bambaataa’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to.

On the U.S. charts, superstar Passengers’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Check it every song is worth the money for the Sound Adventure CD!
Such hits like Immidiate Pleasure will leave you hooked. Night After Night - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Passengers rocks harder than ever with Go Michelle. Mumbo Jumbo is a very catchy tune. King Of Fools (4:22) - awsome. I think Dans Mon Coeur is the best song Passengers has ever done. Burning Cool - Okay, I just talked about depth. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Casino has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Strong, powerful vocals of Passengers in He’s Speedy Like Gonzales are very impressive. Passengers sings his heart out in Movie Star. Girls Cost Money motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. The Lion Sleeps To Night is a medium tempo tune. Touch and Go is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Olimpic Fefer is Passengers’s best work in years. The Last Romantic - I just love it.

This is the first studio album from Rick James and Stone City Band since bad diagnosis in 1983. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Rick James and Stone City Band on ‘Bad lady’. Out From The Shadow is the best essence of Rick James and Stone City Band.
Voice of Rick James and Stone City Band in Love hassles is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. I can’t stop playing Spend the night. Telephone is probably one of Rick James and Stone City Band’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Out From The Shadow. Strong, powerful vocals of Rick James and Stone City Band in Shake (make your body move) are very impressive.

Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. This song stands out greatly from the others. Rock’n’ roll fever - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Hurriganes sings his heart out in It’s you babe. Keep on dancin’ is possibly the best song Hurriganes has come up. I get up still maintains something of a specific flourish. On the border is absolutely incredible. Don’t cry marked the continuation of Hurriganes in style evolution. Come on and rock is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. In Indian woman the music gets its power. I can’t stop humming along Doreen.

IF YOU LIKE ALL Vladimir Cosma’S SONG GO FOR IT! Ivan Grach has compared writing for Vladimir Cosma’s new album to that on ‘Le Bal (Film De Ettore Scola)’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Le Bal (Film De Ettore Scola) carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Le Bal (Film De Ettore Scola) is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Le Denicheur 1983 is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Pot-Pourri De Valses Musettes is one of the best records ever. Le Bal [Interlude Piano] has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. I like the agression and power of Danse Du Tapis. Pot-Pourri De Valses is the more seemingly obscure song on Le Bal (Film De Ettore Scola) that bear up best to repeated listening. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Pot-Pourri 1940 - My least favorite song on this album. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. La Bal is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. In The Mood is nothing but pure genius. Le Bal [Interlude Piano] is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Boogie Blues is a strong cut, one of many. La Vie En Rose - I like this one. This track is full of harmonies and gets Le Bal (Film De Ettore Scola) off to a relaxing start. Si Tu Vas A Rio defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Vladimir Cosma sings Pot-Pourri Samba Bayon in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. After about the third Tutti Frutti listen through, I began to believe this song is Vladimir Cosma’s essence. I’ve found myself listening to Le Bal [Interlude Piano] back to back and back many times. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Only one song from Le Bal (Film De Ettore Scola) named T`es Ok really got me. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor.

I’ve Been Missing You is a amazing, simple song by Kenny G at the top of his game. This track is full of harmonies and gets G Force off to a relaxing start. Within the first few notes of G Force it’s perfectly clear that Kenny G is living this song. Do Me Right is the song that really did it for me. In I Wanna Be Yours you won’t find any flashy solos. After few listenings I started to like Sunset At Noon more and more. Help Yourself To My Love one is one of the better boring ones.

Highway 49 is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is I’m Ready. When listening to Long Distance Call, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Muddy and The Wolf. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Rockin Daddy is possibly the best song Muddy Waters has come up. I hope to keep hearing Muddy Waters works for a long time to come. In What A Woman you won’t find any flashy solos.

Abfackeln! is really the reason why I recommend buying Drawings Of Patient O.T.. This track is clearly meant to showcase Einsturzende Neubauten’s vocal abilities. Einsturzende Neubauten has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. I believe Merle (Die Elektrik) is one of the most astounding, heartfelt songs ever written. Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T. very upbeat. Finger Und Zaehne is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Einsturzende Neubauten released so far. Falschgeld - For me, this is the best of the album. Styropor is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Armenia is a good listen every once in a while. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Wasserturm is my favorite song on Drawings Of Patient O.T.. Don’t judge Der Herrscher Und Der Sieger on the first listening. Affenroulette - A strong beat.

Tormentor is the most memorable and cool. Overall a nice softer song. Vocals of Slayer in The Final Command really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm.

Ivan Grach has compared writing for Allan Holdsworth’s new album to that on ‘Road Games’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since Allan Holdsworth last CD (Road Games) on Virgin Records back in 1983, I have felt a massive void in my life. While no new Allan Holdsworth album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1983 tour in Asia. Road Games touched my soul like nothing else.
Road Games is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Water On The Brain Pt. Ii stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Tokyo Dream. Album opener Was There is a bright, upbeat ditty. Material Real is the album’s biggest hit, I think.

This disc has all of the essential Pink Floyd classics. IF YOU LIKE ALL Pink Floyd’S SONG GO FOR IT! I am not a real Trance: Psychedelic music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Works’ really is amazing. This is my first Pink Floyd Album and i must say i am blown away.
Arnold Layne is a strong cut, one of many. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Fearless (Interpolating You’ll Never Walk Alone). In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Pink Floyd. Eclipse is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is See Emily Play because the melody in the chorus is so good. Several Species of Small Furry Animals… actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Pink Floyd’s face. Free Four (Music from The Valley) is a cool song and it grows on you. Embryo is simply astounding.

It’s natural for Budi Siebert to take a stab at ‘Hmm… Tanz der Kurperlinge’ considering her long-professed love for Ultra Dolphins. It has been twelve years Budi Siebert’ last studio CD, “HMM…” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. HMM… is an amazing album, racked with beauty.This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Budi Siebert rocks harder than ever with He Janusch (Du Stinkbeutel). Pienes Tanz as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Budi Siebert sings his heart out in Wenn erst die grauen Panther tanzen. Schmerz la nach - another great track from the HMM… album. In Was ist die Zeit Budi Siebert spins a tale you want to hear to the end. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Noch leben die Wolder as a highlight of HMM… contains a ton of exquisite melodies. Alles im Flu is gorgeous song though, very addictive.

For older fans If I Could Fly Away will put a massive smile accross your face. There is no doubt that Frank Duval has talent. Now signed to Frank Duval’s Capitol Records, the title track from second album “If I Could Fly Away” leads Frank Duval’s back-to-school campaign. If I Could Fly Away is the best essence of Frank Duval.
Sign In The Sky is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. On The Wing is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. A great put together song. Give Me Your Love is probably one of Frank Duval’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Music in If I Could Fly Away is amazing as in all tracks of If I Could Fly Away. Light Waves is one of the coolest songs Frank Duval has ever recorded.

There is so much to love about 7 Seconds, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. IF YOU LIKE ALL 7 Seconds’S SONG GO FOR IT! It has been six years 7 Seconds’ last studio CD, “Commited For Life (Ep)” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Commited For Life (Ep) is the best essence of 7 Seconds.
What sets Drug control apart is 7 Seconds’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. The song feels complete. Some call Fight your own fight from Commited For Life (Ep) as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Commited for life is astounding. I can’t stop humming along This is the angry. Aggro is one of the more up-tempo songs on Commited For Life (Ep). War in the head# marked the continuation of 7 Seconds in style evolution.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Kim Robertson energies, virtually a rebirth. There is no doubt that Kim Robertson has talent. Now signed to Kim Robertson’s Mute Records, the title track from second album “Wind Shadows” leads Kim Robertson’s back-to-school campaign. Lauda and Morgan Meaghan is really good.
Kim Robertson has astounded me with this amazing track. I believe March Of King Laois is one of the most amazing, heartfelt songs ever written. This song stands out greatly from the others. Album opener Spagnoletta is a bright, upbeat ditty. Arron Boat Song still maintains something of a specific flourish. Eleanor Plunkett - A strong beat. A fantastic track full of wonder. King Of The Fairies had me crying as I was able to relate so well. You have to get essence of the Give Me Your Hand’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Bittersweet - For me, this is the best of the album. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. The song Bittersweet Ii ending is my favorite… so catchy! I loved Carolans’ Dream the first time I heard it. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Caseys’ Hornpipe.

After seeing Koyannisqatsi, I had to have a good Philip Glass cd. When you buy a Philip Glass album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Philip Glass on ‘Koyannisqatsi’. Exciting stuff.
Vessels is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Pruit Igoe is a good listen every once in a while. The Grid - another great track from the Koyannisqatsi album. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Prophecies.

Girl Gone Bad is the exquisite blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. I’ll Wait is worth the money. Hot For Teacher is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Top Jimmy has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Drop Dead Legs make listening to Van Halen like being in some sort of time warp. I loved Jump the first time I heard it. Panama gives taste of what makes Van Halen special as a musician. I hope to keep hearing Van Halen works for a long time to come.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by R.E.M.. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for R.E.M.’s new album to that on ‘Murmur’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of R.E.M. on ‘Radio Free Europe’. Murmur is not something you should pass up.
Pilgrimage - A catchy, upbeat tune. Laughing good vocals. Talk about the Passion - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Moral Kiosk is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Nice and different song. R.E.M. must have run out of lyrics on the next track Catapult. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Shaking Through is a strong cut, one of many. We Walk which is my favorite is a truly R.E.M. sounding song. West of the Fields is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. There She Goes Again to me is the best you can get from R.E.M.. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Gardening at Night (Live 20Apr84) - a classic song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing.

After debuting at No. 1 last week, Tony Carey’s album Planet P Project falls to No. 2 with 893,000, a sales slide of 51%. This disc has all of the essential Tony Carey classics. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Tony Carey energies, virtually a rebirth. Unappreciated gift to Pop
King For A Day is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. I Won’t Wake Up is astounding work of Tony Carey. I like to sing along with Top Of The World, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. I can’t stop humming along Armageddon. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Tranquility Base, which shows, blatantly, how much Tony Carey has evolved as a singer. Why Me is a bit different from Tony Carey stereotypical stuff. Power Tools is worth the money. Send It In A Letter without a doubt is the standout song of Planet P Project. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Only You and Me - A classic Tony Carey track. When I listen to Ruby in my car when traffic ain’t going so good.

It has been five years Real Life’ last studio CD, “Heartland” which won Array Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. I Love Heartland from start to finish!
Catch Me I’m Falling - A classic Real Life track. I like the idea behind Under The Hammer. After few listenings I started to like Heartland more and more. Breaking Point one of the best in my collection. No Real Life song has come close to capturing my attention as Broken Again did. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Openhearted is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. The sound of Burning Blue is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created.

Heaven Street (Mk II) one is one of the better boring ones. All Alone In Her Nirvana is astounding. Nation is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Simple and heartfelt closing track In The Night Time closes The Guilty Have No Past on a high note. We Drive East marked the continuation of Death In June in style evolution. Holy Water is possibly the best song Death In June has come up. I think Heaven Street is the best song Death In June has ever done. The Guilty Have No Pride without a doubt is the standout song of The Guilty Have No Past. Till The Living Flesh Is Burned is one of my favorite songs by Death In June. Nothing Changes is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Death In June ever produced. Black Radio hits the heart.

Ivan Grach has compared writing for Izrael’s new album to that on ‘Biada, Biada, Biada’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Self-described as Reggae with lots of words, Izrael comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. It’s natural for Izrael to take a stab at ‘Wojna w Babilonie’ considering her long-professed love for Green Grey. Izrael is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Rastaman nie kiame has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. I have all of Izrael’s tracks and Strach w Babilonie is probably the most his introspective effort. Poli bez kontroli is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Powstaccie wojownicy one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Although Plonie babilon is very melodic it is far from sad. Nasza kultura is another strong production from Izrael. Don’t judge Nie ryb tego zvego on the first listening. Id ludzie Babilonu - I just love it. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Kaplani Szatana from the beginning to the end. Some of the arrangements found on Biada, Biada, Biada are surprisingly edgy. I like the idea behind Dla kazdego tak samo.

Only one song from Rockin’ Oldies named Have I The Right really got me. Do Wah Diddy Diddy is just simply stunning. Tennessee Waltz is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. Album opener Cotton Fields is a bright, upbeat ditty. I believe Stupid Cupid is one of the most marvelous, heartfelt songs ever written. Heart Foll Of Soul - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Tell Him is the song that really did it for me. Hey John, Hey Tom is the albums biggest surprise. Music and lyrics of Dong Diki Diki Dong creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. I’m A Believer is the excellent blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. You have to get essence of the The Tamoure’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. I love the melodic melody of Bananas and to this day it makes me feel good. Do Wa Diddy Diddy is such a gorgeous and optimistic song that things can get just better. Doctor Doctor (Help Me Please) to me is the best you can get from A La Carte. When The Boys Come Home is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. The song Ring Me Honey ending is my favorite… so catchy! You Get Me On The Run is really the reason why I recommend buying Rockin’ Oldies. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Ahe Tamoure make listening to A La Carte like being in some sort of time warp. Hit Mix is possibly the best song A La Carte has come up.
