Album Reviews

When I first received and began listening to this album, I was worried. When I see a 173bpm listed on an album, I normally run for the hills. I like my music to be psychedelic and have a variety of tempos, but 173 is fast. I don't normally like fast psytrance. I like some happy hardcore and some of the funner breakcore stuff, but fast pounding psytrance is not my cup of tea.

Fortunately, this album isn't like that.
Tamlin's album 'Spectrogram' (Faerie Dragon Records) is actually a brilliant multi-tempo'd journey. One with lush melodies and a great driving feel.

Bassist, singer, songwriter, who is from Portland. Amazing talent! She went to PSU at age 16.

swedish singer with cutesy breathy vocals, interesting instrumentation. Track one could get annoying real fast, but it's good.

Twins from hong kong, catchy songs, call back to 80's, a bit cheesy.

I appreciate the sound of Keshavacharya’s voice and his deliberate style. He doesn’t sing too fast, nor too slow, his tunes are not poppy or catchy necessarily, but it is the emotion and depth to his singing that leave the listener eager to hear more and more. He truly achieves a meditative and blissful state by connecting with the power of the transcendental mantras which are the focus of his music. The best part is that attentive listeners are also able to take part in the meditation. Two thumbs up – the heart of kirtan is present in this music.

It is not often that someone blows me away quite so much but when I heard this album, I couldn’t believe it! Truly a unique, soulful, eclectic, and experimental sound, yet so smooth and lovely. I am so happy for these guys to come into my life but also for them to be making some major waves in Europe. If dreams come true they will one day soon tour the US! Anyway, this is the best album I have heard in forever and I am super picky so that means a lot. My favorite track is Love Mantra. Check it out. And thanks to the artists for hooking me up with the cd.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Faggotts are back.
It's been a while since Texas Faggott have unlocked your skull, opened your mind and then filled it with puke n piss; but the wait is over and it feels more transcendent than ever before.

If you don't know Texas Faggott, this review might be a bit rough to follow; but give it a try and maybe you'll learn something.

Grapefruit is a delicious fruit.
It is tart and sweet. It is juicy and has yummy vitamins in it.
It mixes wonderfully with gin and can also accompany a bit of tequila.
Grapefruit is a good fruit.

I spent a large chunk of time writing a review this afternoon. This review. But then it disappeared.
It got deleted from my saved folder. :(
Now, this could have been user error. Things happen and maybe I did something that was not quite right. But maybe it vanished for a reason.

Oh Ott. How do I love thee so?
Your music n awesomeness have reached new heights in my brain this morning.
Upon starting your new album, Skylon (Twisted Records), I was transported.
Transported to a time before you existed. A time when my love of another kept my brain filled with bubbles of serotonin.
A time when her name was Orbital.
