album reviews
Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.
ABBA - Voyage
The Introduction I am always wary of bands reforming and players and managers going back to football clubs. Sometimes they need the money, sometimes the fit is right and sometimes it just does not work at all. Roxy Music’s various reincarnations have all worked and Fleetwood Mac rejuvenation with Stevie Nicks and Linsay Buckingham were notable successes.

THE BROTHER'S KEEPER: THE NEW MANDATE OF OUR DEAREST LOVER BOY
Following up a great project with another is a task that is most greeted with an eye of doubt at first. Consumers don't have eternity to dissect sleeper hits. they are very quick to blow your trumpet or throe dirt on your newness of sound. In the case of Chike's thirty month wait to give his debut project a run for its money, the result is a safe approach that can be easily regarded as nice curation. Maybe some songs were weak compared to the more deliberate Boo of the Booless (2020), what we can safely say without conflict is that he is ready to outgrow the notion that the gender demography is strictly for lovy-dovy females, hence gradually extending its tentacle to the hard to impress and rarely admitting males. That is not an affront to guys who enjoy his sound. It is just a simple hard to deny grapevine that ladies give more credence to his sound than the hard guy nuance of his fellowmen.

Ten Succulent Slices of Little Feat
Introduction I am not sure when I first heard Little Feat, it must have been in the seventies and I did like their music. They had their own brand of Americana similar to The Band or The Grateful Dead and are still going today with some original members.

My Favorite Record: TV on the Radio's 'Nine Types of Light'
One of my favorite records of all time is TV on the Radio's ethereal and eclectic fourth studio record Nine Types of Light. The Brooklyn, New York based band delivered on Nine Types of Light a record that was/is at once true to the band's unusual tastes and yet more open and accessible to fans who may have found previous TVOTR records impenetrable, arty, or just inaccessibly singular.

No Pussyfooting
The Mirrored Blue Room How Do You? Talk about an album that has no formal tunes and is just sounds. This is what I am trying to do with “No Pussyfooting” by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. Robert Fripp is the guitarist and main man with progressive rock band King Crimson and Brian Eno began his mainstream exposure as Roxy Music’s non-musician specialising in electronics and treatments. Brian Eno is credited with the invention of Ambient Music when he was ill listening to a record but the sound was too low but he couldn’t get up to turn it up slightly but he could hear the music or sound in the distance.

I often don’t fall in with the mainstream and so this is a trawl through Kate'scatalogue to find ten songs that you may be unaware of. I was also alerted to "Mná na hÉireann" by a comment on a Youtube video so I have also included that, making eleven songs.

The Game Drops Diss Track On HipHop Legend Eminem
So as you might of heard by now, “The Game” Dropped a diss track called “The Black Slim Shady”. So we before we get in discussion about this.I honestly think that anyone disses “Eminem” should expect to recieve a diss track back in return. Now I dont if “The Game” did this to stay relevant or if he is just plain out dissing em. But either way I know that em is gonna rap some fire power back.

My New Albums
Well, it's official. As the subtitle above states, I finally own "New Gold Dream 81/82/83/84". I still don't understand what the numbers are supposed to allude to exactly, but that's just a tangent statement. I finally get to enjoy the album in its non-YouTube glory.
