Nineties Sessions, The - Godfather Don

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...This is the sound track from the surf film September Session and contains all the tracks from the film. The DVD can be found online at play and Amazon also in most surf shops and HMV. The DVD is by Jack Johnson and Produced by Kelly Slater. The cover of the CD says 'music from the film by Jack Johnson' this makes it sound like all the music on the soundtrack is all Jack Johnson but its not, the album does contain two song By Jack Johnson himself, but contains loads of other artists as well. Don't let this disappoint you it is still a very good and enjoyable album. The music on the album is very similar to Jacks music that sort of chilled out music with a surfy vibe but is not all just acoustic guitar like jacks songs. There is a little hint of every thing on the CD acoustic, funk, blues, world and reggae, so there is something... Read review

Advantages: Good rocking music, well put together.
Disadvantages: A bit lazy at times.

...One upon a time, three producers got together in Steve Marker's basement to have a jam session. The other two present were Butch Vig and Duke Erikson. They liked the music they made and recruited ex Angelfish singer Shirley Manson. The result was Garbage - no not garbage, but Garbage… They recorded their debut album in 1994-1995; this album spawned several hits and escalated them to platinum status. These hits included, 'Only Happy When It Rains,' the song that brought my attention to the band. 1997 saw the release of Version 2.0, my personal favourite which featured 'Push It.' In 2001 the disappointing Beautiful Garbage came out and I lost interest. They took a long hiatus but we see in their latest, Bleed Like Me, a return to form for this band. So, what do they sound like? A fusion of rock and pop. Sleeper with a bit... Read review
