Gesticulation is good for you

Advantages: Classic VDGG
Disadvantages: Vill Not Suit Everyones Taste

When you mention the words prog rock to people they normally think of Genesis or Yes or ELP all of these were terrible bands that inspired the first wave of punk on both sides of the Atlantic. Very few people will think of Van Der Graaf Generator, a great band that inspired a young John Lydon. To those people who have heard of VDGG there are two reactions either one of casual dismissing them as having any merit at all, or wide eyed glee at finding ...
...have a lead guitarist, in fact the classic four piece line up of Peter Hammill (Vocals, Piano, Guitar), Hugh Banton (Organs), David Jackson (Saxes, Flute) and Gut Evans (Drums) ignored the rock and roll rule book, No Lead Guitarist for one and a sax player that was off his head. Songs about insanity, obsession, isolation, the futility of immortality abounded and they were fantastic. The Line up was also highly volatile few bands have split up and ...

I Know It's Over

Advantages: Great songs and great singing
Disadvantages: Still don't dig Eternal Life

...6 concerts in Jeff Buckley's Mystery White Boy tour make up this live album. My ratings are as follows: [*] - Nothing really catches the attention. [**] - Something grabs my attention. [***] - Gets me air-drumming, air-guitaring and singing along to the track. 1. Dream Brother Slow to start, and though in the buildup there is some laidback vocal improvisation, Jeff is having to squeeze hard for some of those falsetto notes. [**] 2. I Woke Up In A ...
...heavy, and the riffs dirty. [***] 3. Mojo Pin Solid but for the final bridge where Jeff slips into sheepish singing - however he does come on strongly for the finale. [**] 4. Lilac Wine As if Buckley has had too much to drink here, what with the guitar losing its way and his vocals being reduced to a croak at the end, though the improvisation in the singing is as strong as it is soulful. [***] 5. What Will You Say Similar to Dream Brother in that ...

X-Tina's X-Mas

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Final Dance track

“My Kind Of Christmas” came out in 2000 and was the first Christmas album for the Pop singer Christina Aguilera. Coming directly off her debut album, which was then re-recorded in Spanish, it was released prior to her “Stripped” years and so has her in a position where she was much more accessible to the 'family' market. Here she mixes traditional carols with well-covered Christmas classic and some of her own original ones. 1.“Christmas Time” We ...
...that I felt made a strong impression as it shows that here she is down to bring an album that reflects how her debut album sounded with the heavy R&B influence, but she ensured that it sounded as though it stuck to the main 'Christmas' themes. It was one of only two singles from the album, and I felt that it was a nice way to get it underway. **Four Starr** 2.“This Year” We see that she comes in with another fresh tune (a non-cover) here and she ...

A let down in comparison with the previous 3 volumes

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Not as good as the previous volumes, less covers

I have been eagerly anticipating Live Lounge Vol 4 having loved the previous 3 volumes. However, I was very disappointed with this collection. It contains less covers than the previous volumes. The covers for me where always the best thing about it. There are several good tracks including Little Boots doing Beat Again, Biffy's Love, Sex, Magic and Kasabian's cover of Gwen Stefani. I found Lady Gaga's Pokerface an unexpected highight. However, there ...
