Review: 

OMG OMG OMG!
The leader of the rainbow colored unicorn army is back! And while the unicorns are no longer visible on the album, I can tell that Valo (aka: Vishnudata) has hidden them throughout the tracks on his new album -simply titled 'Vishnudata'.

Artist: 
Blue Planet Corporation
Review: 

A new album from Blue Planet Corporation.
A new double-album from Blue Planet Corporation.
A new freshly remastered double-album from Blue Planet Corporation.
A new freshly remastered double-album featuring classics and unreleased material from Blue Planet Corporation.

Honestly, I am a bit short on words to describe and praise this monumental release.

Keramick & Lobo - The Braille

Artist: 
Keramick & Lobo
Review: 

Some days are simply those days. They are hard to describe. The world isn't bleak. The sun is shining. You aren't really tired. You weren't recently dumped or fired; hell, you may have even found something you have long since lost. But for some reason, something is off.

SubConsciousMind - Intermezzo Extended

Artist: 
SubConsciousMind
Review: 

And now . . . we are in August.
I paid rent yesterday. Bloody rent. Rent is like a ghost; always lingering about when you wish it wasn't. You want to sleep. You want to go about your day. You want a simple answer to a straightforward question. The ghost is lurking and giving riddles. Bloody ghosts.

Troll Scientists - Sir Eel

Artist: 
Troll Scientists
Review: 
You know, Troll Scientists are really good. Their whole "thing" is massively awesome. I dig it. A lot. Their first album, Useless Science, off of Space Boogie Productions was a simply awesome. I wrote at length about it here. Troll Scientists' new album takes that same awesome and does something even more awesome with it. Seriously. It is, the Last Train to Awesome Town.

S.U.N. Project - X Black Album

Artist: 
S.U.N. Project
Review: 

And on the 8th day, God said "Let there be massive riffage in the Psychedelic Trance" and S.U.N. Project were born.

It's hard to believe that S.U.N. Project have been banging their anthemic version of Metal Acid Trance for 13 years and 10 albums. I have always been a fan of the over-the-top energy that builds the S.U.N. Project world and I am so very happy that they have just released their most amazingly fun and exciting album since Macrophage back in 1998.

Crop Circles - Tetrahedron -{*Album ov the Year*}-

Artist: 
Crop Circles
Review: 

It is quite possible that while our country is reaching new lows, we have also experienced the High-Water Mark of human civilization. Thinking back upon 2008, it is hard to think that I will ever encounter a year as massive as this.
(Editors Note: Yes, I am going to be using the word massive a lot. Get used to it.)

Compilation albums are a tad difficult to write reviews for.
Well, for me they are.
Normally.
But not always.

Review: 

[ Note: You may download this album for free -as a zip'd file- from: gizmonix.net/tunage/kixotek_sleepdancer_full_album_320_.zip ]

Some albums simply move. They don't have to move me, or you, or anyone in particular. The music just intrinsically moves. Sometimes it isn't easy to say where it moved to, or why it moved, or where it started out, or even why it felt the need to move at all. Some albums just simply move. And that is enough.
