Breaking Glass [PA] - Polyrhythm Addicts

Advantages: Funky, great to party to
Disadvantages: A few strange tracks, some may be offended

...Missy Elliott’s music career began on the trash heap. No really, it did. She began singing on the rubbish bins in Portsmouth, VA as a child. Now she is a successful singer/writer/song producers, working with the big names such as Busta Rhymes & Lil’ Kim. Her big break came when she convinced Devante from Jodeci to let her group Sista audition for him. Miss E … So Addictive is Missy Elliott’s 3rd album. This is one rude and sexy cd. Not one to play while there’s young impressionable minds around, but a great one to play when you’re with that special someone! Not a very romantic cd, mind you, apart from “Take Away”, but very horny. It’s also got some great tunes for dancing to if you’re having a party and some more slow soulful tunes. Track list 1. … so addictive 2. dog in heat 3. one minute man 4. lick shots 5. get ur... Read review

...Olympiad earlier this year I was struck that how I was almost hermetically sealed in by the music, how totally I became lost in it and it was perhaps the best piece of live music I have ever experienced of any kind.

For the most part Solo Piano is made up of Metamorphosis, a piece which breaks down into 5 movements: Metamorphosis 1-5, each of which last between 5 to 7 minutes. The title of the piece clearly identifies the style of the music (which I related... Read review

...Yes, im a fan of Staind and quite frankly, am fed up to the back teeth of people who call them boring. I can understand that they may not be to everyone's tastes, but I have heard people put them down before even listening to their music because their ashamed of being uncool. Other Staind releases - Dysfunction (1999) 14 Shades Of Grey (2003) Now for starters, Break The Cycle was not only the biggest selling rock album of 2001, but it was also one of top 10 sellers from any genre and had two singles, 'It's been a while' and 'outside', that both charted very high in the singles charts, which for a rock band is a massive achievement. Staind are an extremely diverse band, with songs ranging from the verge of screaming to suddenly pulling off an absolute gem of a ballad. My favourite song would have to be 'Epiphany... Read review
