Musica I Cants Sefardis D'Orient I Occident - Aman Aman

Advantages: Daniel sings
Disadvantages: Can't buy in shops

...Even although Silverchair have been very quiet over the past year, their lead singer Daniel Johns has been busy in the studio working on something a bit different. Daniel has recorded 5 tracks with remixer Paul Mac. Daniel’s well known rock sound and Paul’s electronic influences merge together to make a beautifully atmospheric EP which they have called ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Rock’. The first song, ‘Rain’ has more of Daniel’s obvious guitar riffing coming through and ‘Take Her Out’ is the angriest of them all (more akin to Silverchair’s own ‘Spawn Again’). ‘Home’ and ‘Staging A Traffic Jam’ are more unusual – almost relaxing to listen to. But Daniel’s tender vocals can be heard on 4 of the tracks and add... Read review

Advantages: Great songs, vocals, lyrics, music
Disadvantages: Some dodgy recording on a tight budget

...was sort of all right until you told me you'd slept with him" and later: "I'm still right next door if you need me I don't think that I'm strong enough to come and tell you when I'm hurting But please come and talk to me Goodbye dear friend, I love you And that's the hardest part" What does it sound like? Well, I'm not a great fan of folk rock, so I can't compare him with others. Fans of the UK underground scene of the early nineties might compare him with "The Levellers" taken down to basics.

Advantages: Wicked dance music!
Disadvantages: Songs are a bit long!

...'t get them on any other track. 4/5 Once In A Lifetime ft Da Yenne This tune starts with a real Oriental opening to it. Then the mellowed beats kick in. This is quite Groove Armada-like. Da Yeene talks more than sings through the chorus's. The chorus isn't a belting one either. Its without doubt a summery tune but I can't see the single potential in this like I can with a lot of other tracks. It's a bit average in a way… unless it's a grower. 3/5 Show You How ft Julie Morrison & Jay Soul I don't like the laughy talky start to be honest… and at first it doesn't get much better! Julie Morrison sounds like Lisa Stansfield and the tune is very Brand New heavies and doesn't seem to work. In fact I don't like this tune very much! Makes the last one sound so much better… and oh no rapping, skipping, skipping… NEXT! 2/5 Freak On ft... Read review
