There is so much to love about Blas Duran, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Lead single “Conejo de la Vecina” and “Muneco” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. On the Slovakia charts, superstar Blas Duran’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Bachata Pueblo is not something you should pass up.
Muneco is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Potpurri is really the reason why I recommend buying Bachata Pueblo. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Teclas de Piano. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Yo Ya Estoy Bronco (4:50) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Viero Anoche on Bachata Pueblo is solid and easy to listen to. Rica Pobre is simply gorgeous. This track is just a stunning masterpiece.

When you buy a Camel album, you know exactly what you’re getting! After seeing Never Let Go, I had to have a good Camel cd. Since Camel last CD (Echoes - The Anthology ‘73-’77 (CD1)) on Savoy Records back in 1992, I have felt a massive void in my life. This album is awesome.
One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Freefall because the melody in the chorus is so good. Lady Fantasy is a marvelous, simple song by Camel at the top of his game. Song Rhayader is actually a funny song. Rhayader Goes To Town is a medium tempo tune. Song Within A Song defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Lunar Sea to me is the best you can get from Camel. Camel sings his heart out in Unevensong. I now have Tell Me as one of my personal favorites. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Camel. Album opener Skylines is a bright, upbeat ditty. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song.

Echoes - The Anthology ‘78-’92 (CD2) isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. This is one of the best Cd’s Camel has dropped to date. Since completing 1992’s ‘Breathless’, Camel fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This album is in perfect progression from Camel!
Echoes - A catchy, upbeat tune. Camel emotions are reflected through The Sleeper. All of songs on Echoes - The Anthology ‘78-’92 (CD2) and have something to say letting alone Your Love Is Stranger Than Mine. I have all of Camel’s tracks and Hymn To Her is probably the most his introspective effort. In Ice Camel is at his best. The song Drafted ending is my favorite… so catchy! From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. From the moment you listen to Sasquatch you’re hooked. Camel is hitting on all cylinders in You Are The One. Refugee without a doubt is the standout song of Echoes - The Anthology ‘78-’92 (CD2). This song may be the most meaningful. Mother Road which is my favorite is a truly Camel sounding song. Whispers In The Dark is gorgeous song though, very addictive. This is one hell of a track.

For older fans Cannibalism 2 will put a massive smile accross your face. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Can’s album Cannibalism 2 falls to No. 2 with 336,000, a sales slide of 80%. This album has some very good songs like Uphill and Pnoom. Cannibalism 2 is the best essence of Can.
Pnoom - arguably the best track on Cannibalism 2 album. Connection gives taste of what makes Can special as a musician. Mother Upduff has a fun tempo. Little Star - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Musically T.V. Spot is superior to other tracks in Cannibalism 2. Doko E. is a excellent song and it grows on you. After few listenings I started to like Turtels [Sic] Have Short Legs more and more. Shikaku Maru Ten is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Gomorrha is outstanding work of Can. Blue Bag is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Red Hot Indians to me is the best you can get from Can. Half Past One is the first taste of the new album. Flow Motion - This is a very lively song. Smoke is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. I Want More And … hits the heart. Laugh Till You Cry is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Animal Waves has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Sunshine Day And Night is one of the best records ever. E.F.S. No. 7 - To me, this is the best song on the Cannibalism 2. I hope to keep hearing Can works for a long time to come.

It’s natural for Coil to take a stab at ‘The Sleeper’ considering her long-professed love for Babylon Zoo. While no new Coil album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1992 tour in North America. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Coil energies, virtually a rebirth. Enjoy the show.
Remotely is possibly the best song Coil has come up. The Sleeper II sets the tone for the entire album. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Dismal Orb (7:33) - awsome. Voice of Coil in How to Destroy Angels II is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Absolute Elsewhere is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle.

Music in Can’t Find My Way Home is astounding as in all tracks of Calls. Night Calls (3:25) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me as a highlight of Calls contains a ton of excellent melodies. Love Is Alive is a striking and quite long song. Five Women is the more seemingly obscure song on Calls that bear up best to repeated listening. Please No More to me is the best you can get from Joe Cocker.

Ivan Grach has compared writing for Barao Vermelho’s new album to that on ‘Supermercados Da Vida’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. I wish that “Supermercados Da Vida” album was instrumental.
Odeio-Te Meu Amor as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Pedra Flor E Espinho marked the continuation of Barao Vermelho in style evolution. I have all of Barao Vermelho’s tracks and Flores Do Mal is probably the most his introspective effort. Azul Azulao - This is a very lively song. I think Fogo De Palha is the best song Barao Vermelho has ever done. Fios Electricos gives good insight into the truths. Supermercados Da Vida gives taste of what makes Barao Vermelho special as a musician. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Cidade Fria very upbeat. A Noite Nao Acabou without a doubt is the standout song of Supermercados Da Vida. Comendo Vidro is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Portos Livres - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Barao Vermelho. I like the agression and power of Marcas No Pescozo.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of And One on ‘Turn The Nation’. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of And One energies, virtually a rebirth. This is one of And One best albums
Die Mitte [dresden mix] is another strong production from And One. Over There - arguably the best track on Monotonie CD5 album. When listening to Und Doch, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Monoton.

This seven-song debut EP shows the promise that Aphex Twin (Caustic Window) has. While no new Aphex Twin (Caustic Window) album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1992 tour in South America. JoyRex J4 EP isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. This album is in perfect progression from Aphex Twin (Caustic Window)!
I loved Popcorn the first time I heard it. Voice and instruments in AFX II complement each other. Cordialotron is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Kohtex pretty much defines how I feel spiritually.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Aphex Twin (Caustic Window) on ‘Astroblaster’. Aphex Twin (Caustic Window)’s debut, ‘JoyRex J5 EP’, does not fit easily into one genre. ‘JoyRex J5 EP’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Unappreciated gift to Industrial
Jedi actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Aphex Twin (Caustic Window)’s face. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. R2D2 - This is a very lively song.

For older fans Ragas and Sagas will put a massive smile accross your face. Since Garbarek, Jan and Ustad Fateh .. last CD (Ragas and Sagas) on Capitol Records back in 1992, I have felt a massive void in my life. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Garbarek, Jan and Ustad Fateh ..’s album Ragas and Sagas falls to No. 2 with 117,000, a sales slide of 70%. This is one of Garbarek, Jan and Ustad Fateh .. best albums
This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Raga II is a bit of a show-tune. Garbarek, Jan and Ustad Fateh .. rocks harder than ever with Raga III. Excellent vocals and musical performances.

Since John McLaughlin last CD (Electric Dreams) on Capitol Records back in 1992, I have felt a massive void in my life. This nine-song debut EP shows the promise that John McLaughlin has. Electric Dreams carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Electric Dreams touched my soul like nothing else.
Blew our minds when we first heard Miles Davis. I now have Electric Dreams, Electric Sighs as one of my personal favorites. Desire And The Comforter is one of these floating songs. From the moment you listen to Love And Understanding you’re hooked. After about the third Singing Earth listen through, I began to believe this song is John McLaughlin’s essence. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with The Dark Prince. Best song on the album, love it.

This eleven-song debut EP shows the promise that Kamal has. For older fans Mysterious Traveller will put a massive smile accross your face. IF YOU LIKE ALL Kamal’S SONG GO FOR IT! This album is in perfect progression from Kamal!
From the moment you listen to Forever And A Day you’re hooked. Music in Makena Cooud (For Himani With A Smile) is cool as in all tracks of Mysterious Traveller. Under The Coolibah Tree is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Opening track As Time Goes By shows the best of Kamal. What sets Tales From Tamborine Mountain apart is Kamal’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Don’t judge Djungle (… My Tippy Canoe) on the first listening. Mysterious Traveller is a good listen every once in a while. In Yosemite By Blimp it becomes nowhere more obvious that Kamal has yet to define own style. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Wild At Heart from the beginning to the end.

Khadja Nin was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Khadja Nin and Khadja Nin together. There is no doubt that Khadja Nin has talent. fourteen years ago, Khadja Nin briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Mulofa”. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Mulofa - A catchy, upbeat tune. Ay Ay Ay is a strong cut, one of many. Bwana C. - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Khadja Nin. A fantastic track full of wonder. After few listenings I started to like Simba more and more. Ile is the most memorable and perfect. I can’t stop playing Wale Watu. Samba Latino is a bit different from Khadja Nin stereotypical stuff. Mupe is almost impossible to review. Rudiya is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Voice of Khadja Nin in Njala is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant.

When you buy a L. Subramaniam album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Bun B. Hear has compared writing for L. Subramaniam’s new album to that on ‘Live in the USSR’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This seven-song debut EP shows the promise that L. Subramaniam has. This is one of L. Subramaniam best albums
Fantasy on Vedic Chants p.2 is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Fantasy on Vedic Chants p.3 as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Double Concerto p.1 has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets L. Subramaniam’s strong vocals come to the fore. Double Concerto p.2 one of the best in my collection. Double Concerto p.3 is such a excellent and optimistic song that things can get just better.

This four-song debut EP shows the promise that Lakshmi Shankar has. Live In London September 1992 isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. There were many famous songs of Lakshmi Shankar available. This is my first Lakshmi Shankar Album and i must say i am blown away.
Thumri In Raga Mishra Khamaj is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Janama Marana is the most memorable and astounding.

When you buy a Life Garden album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Lead single “Dag” and “Dang” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. There is so much to love about Life Garden, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. If you want to hear real Ambient, get this record now!
Dang is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Zhen is another favourite of mine. Don is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. I have all of Life Garden’s tracks and Drub is probably the most his introspective effort. Lay still maintains something of a specific flourish. In Du you won’t find any flashy solos. Life Garden breathes new life into the music in Daggi. Jang is a striking and quite long song. I was truly moved when I heard Chub. Sem (5:22) a good melody. Kye - This is a very lively song. Do is the albums biggest surprise. Osiris is worth the money.

It has been fifteen years Lustmord’ last studio CD, “The Monstrous Soul” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. On The Monstrous Soul album, Lustmord have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. IF YOU LIKE ALL Lustmord’S SONG GO FOR IT! This is what good Pop should be.
Primordial Atom - Lustmord first major hit. This is probably my favorite song on the album. The Daathian Doorway - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. This track is just fantastic from start to finish.

BhajaGovindam and Vishnu SN constantly brilliant.
This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Vishnu Sahasranamam is a perfect, simple song by M.S. Subbulakshmi at the top of his game.

I am not a real Pop music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Kaksi’ really is amazing. There were many famous songs of Hedningarna available. This thirteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Hedningarna has. Overall, I would highly recommend Kaksi CD.
This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Vottikaalina. Chicago is one of the best records ever. Viktorin good vocals. Aivoton - Brainless without a doubt is the standout song of Kaksi. Blew our minds when we first heard Fulvalsen. Pal Karl gives taste of what makes Hedningarna special as a musician. Kaivonkansi is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Skamgreppet - Siljan Line is another favourite of mine. Lyrics of Omas Ludvig are precise and evocative. Kings Selma is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about.

While no new O Yuki Conjugate album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1992 tour in Europe. It’s natural for O Yuki Conjugate to take a stab at ‘Snake charm’ considering her long-professed love for Godless Cruelty. Since O Yuki Conjugate last CD (Peyote) on Virgin Records back in 1992, I have felt a massive void in my life. IT makes me wanna dance!
Excellent vocals and musical performances. Earth loop fragment is worth the money. Long pig is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Strong, powerful vocals of O Yuki Conjugate in Alia ma are very impressive. Dusk, dead heart - Okay, I just talked about depth. Only one song from Peyote named Dusk, dead heart really got me. A fantastic track full of wonder.
