This is one of the best Cd’s Roberto Ribeiro has dropped to date. On the India charts, superstar Roberto Ribeiro’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. After seeing Fumo de Rolo, I had to have a good Roberto Ribeiro cd. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Voice and instruments in Tarde Demais complement each other. Inquilino do Universo is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. After about the third Nunca Mais listen through, I began to believe this song is Roberto Ribeiro’s essence. Cinzas da Solid o is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Fantasias. Simple and heartfelt closing track Muita Coisa Para Um Se Cor’o closes Fantasias on a high note. Fantasias is perfect song though, very addictive. I was truly moved when I heard Cantos da vida. Correntes is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Nega Rainha is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Fantasias. Cartas Marcadas is really a nice song to relax and listen too. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion.

It has been one years Rolf Trostel’ last studio CD, “Der Prophet” which won Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Rolf Trostel’s new album to that on ‘Der Prophet’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is the first studio album from Rolf Trostel since bad diagnosis in 1982. Der Prophet is not something you should pass up.
Rolf Trostel has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Individual Destiny which is my favorite is a truly Rolf Trostel sounding song. New Age Of Intelligence good vocals. Town Dreamer is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. In Sehnsucht full palet of sound is used by Rolf Trostel to accentuate the presentation.

There is so much to love about Jon Hassell, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. On the Malta charts, superstar Jon Hassell’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. When you buy a Jon Hassell album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Overall, I would highly recommend Fourth World Vol. 2 - Dream Theory In Malaya CD.
Courage is a good listen every once in a while. Jon Hassell allows each song to breathe and flourish. The sound of Datu Bintung At Jelong is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Malay is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Jon Hassell released so far. These Times… is one of the best records ever. Gift Of Fire is the albums biggest surprise.

On the Luxembourg charts, superstar Chilly’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. ‘Showbiz’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. IF YOU LIKE ALL Chilly’S SONG GO FOR IT! Oh yes, this album gets out of
One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Showbiz because the melody in the chorus is so good. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Taxman is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Come Let’s Go actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Chilly’s face. The Race pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Thank You has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Chilly’s strong vocals come to the fore. Days catches attention immediately, Music of Two Wrongs Don’ Make A Right is gentle, never overbearing. We Are The Popkings - Chilly first major hit. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. As always, Chilly’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. When The Lights Go Down is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Showbiz.

Lead single “Cardiac Arrest” and “Shut Up” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Madness on ‘Cardiac Arrest’. This disc has all of the essential Madness classics. This album is in perfect progression from Madness!
Shut Up still maintains something of a specific flourish. The song feels complete. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Mrs. Hutchinson - My least favorite song on this album. Tomorrow’s Dream is simple, dignified and effective, Madness refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. I believe Grey Day is one of the most perfect, heartfelt songs ever written. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Promises Promises to me is the best you can get from Madness. Benny Bullfrog - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Vocals of Madness in When Dawn Arrives really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Once Day On The Town gets in your head, it will NEVER leave.

This disc has all of the essential Whitesnake classics. John Digester has compared writing for Whitesnake’s new album to that on ‘Come and Get It’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Whitesnake on ‘Come An’ Get It’. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
I like the agression and power of Hot Stuff. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. The song feels complete. In Wine, Women An’ Song it becomes nowhere more obvious that Whitesnake has yet to define own style. I now have Child Of Babylon as one of my personal favorites. Voice of Whitesnake in Would I Lie To You is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Girl can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Whitesnake is all about. Hit An’ Run is astounding. Till The Day I Die is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit.

On II 3,14 album, Rockets have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Rockets had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. There is no doubt that Rockets has talent. Rockets “II 3,14″ is an amazing album.
Still going through II 3,14 and coming to appreciate Imagine E.S.P more and more with every listen. Ziga Ziga 999 is Rockets’s best work in years. Hypnotic Reality is just simply stunning. Ideomatic (4:19) - awsome. Get II 3,14 and turn on Video-Addict if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Astro-Storm is a fine track on any terms. Musically King Of The Universe is superior to other tracks in II 3,14.

It has been one years Loudness’ last studio CD, “The Birthday Eve” which won Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. On The Birthday Eve album, Loudness have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. There were many famous songs of Loudness available. Such great and happy songs.
Street Woman - This one is lively and fun. Sexy Woman is probably the most interesting track on The Birthday Eve. Loudness is one of artists that allow his songs like Rock Shock (More And More) to stand on their own and be heard. Open Your Eyes is astounding. Loudness is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. High Try had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Music in I’m On Fire is exquisite as in all tracks of The Birthday Eve.

Since Siouxsie and The Banshees last CD (Once Upon A Time - The Singles) on EMI Records back in 1981, I have felt a massive void in my life. For older fans Once Upon A Time - The Singles will put a massive smile accross your face. On Once Upon A Time - The Singles album, Siouxsie and The Banshees have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Siouxsie and The Banshees is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Mirage is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. The Staircase (Mystery) presents the gorgeous mix of instruments on Once Upon A Time - The Singles. Voice and instruments in Playground Twist complement each other. Love In A Void - A classic Siouxsie and The Banshees track. Happy House is the song that really did it for me. Christine is the album’s biggest hit, I think. This track is a great song that still never gets old. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Siouxsie and The Banshees. Arabian Knights is a gorgeous, simple song by Siouxsie and The Banshees at the top of his game.

Since completing 1981’s ‘Never Too Late’, Status Quo fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Never Too Late is an amazing album, racked with beauty.This -song debut EP shows the promise that Status Quo has. Unappreciated gift to Rock
Once you hear Something ‘Bout You Baby I Lik, you will listen to it over and over. Take Me Away - A classic Status Quo track. Falling In Falling Out hits the heart. The first time I listened to Carol I was struck by its exquisite sound. I was truly moved when I heard Long Ago. Mountain Lady is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. Don’t Stop Me Now is a amazing sing-along. Enough Is Enough is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Riverside is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit.
