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 [...]

Bodysnatchers Easy life [EP] mp3
January 6, 2008 – 4:51 am
Bodysnatchers’s debut, ‘Easy life [EP]‘, does not fit easily into one genre. This is the first studio album from Bodysnatchers since bad diagnosis in 1980. On the Finland charts, superstar Bodysnatchers’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is what good Ska should be.
Too Experienced gives good insight into the truths.

It has been three years Bad Manners’ last studio CD, “Ska’n’b” which won MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Ska’n’b carries a very emotional theme throughout the album.

Madness Absolutely mp3
December 11, 2007 – 1:32 am
I am not a real Ska music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Absolutely’ really is amazing. Since completing 1980’s ‘Baggy Trousers’, Madness fulfilled their contract with Blue Note Records and where under no obligation to release another album. When you buy a Madness album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This is [...]

Bodysnatchers was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Bodysnatchers and Let’s Do The Rocksteady EP together. There is no doubt that Bodysnatchers has talent. I am not a real Ska music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Let’s Do The Rocksteady EP’ really is amazing. I wish that “Let’s Do The [...]
Madness One Step Beyond mp3
September 24, 2007 – 12:49 pm
Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Madness’s new album to that on ‘One Step Beyond’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Madness energies, virtually a rebirth. I am not a real Ska music type of person, but i have to admit ‘One Step [...]
Uriah Heep Fallen Angel mp3
August 27, 2007 – 2:29 pm
Fallen Angel is an amazing album, racked with beauty.When you buy a Uriah Heep album, you know exactly what you’re getting! It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Uriah Heep energies, virtually a rebirth. This is what good Rock: Hard-Rock should be.
It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Been Hurt (previously unissu…..), which shows, [...]
Miyata Kohachiro Shakuhachi - The Japanese F.. mp3
June 16, 2007 – 2:01 am
It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Miyata Kohachiro energies, virtually a rebirth. Miyata Kohachiro’s debut, ‘Shakuhachi - The Japanese F..’, does not fit easily into one genre. This album has some very good songs like Honshirabe and Sanya. This is my first Miyata Kohachiro Album and i must say i am blown away. [...]
