Scelsi: Canti del Capricorno

Advantages: Cheap, Great intorduction to the band
Disadvantages: I cant find any fault, all the tracks are; for me great, but all very different

...Fugazi; a post Hardcore band from Washington D.C formed in 1988 and are made up of D.C. Hardcore scene veteran Ian MacKaye on vocals and guitar (Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Embrace), Brendan Canty on drums (Rites Of Spring, One Last Wish, Deadline, Insurrection, and Happy Go Licky.), Joe Lally on bass, and in 1989 they were joined by Guy Piccotto on vocals and guitar (Canty's band mate in Rites Of Spring and One Last Wish) after a brief stint performing as a trio. The band incorporates elements of Punk Rock, Hardcore Soul and Noise, with Dub and Reggae influences. The synchronized guitars of MacKaye and Piccotto break the boundaries of rhythm and lead positions, into an amalgam of harsh, yet harmonious chord progressions, often compared to the Tom Verlaine/Richard Lloyd duo from punk band Television. The use off various effects, volume... Read review

Advantages: Quality Vocals
Disadvantages: None

...By far my most favorite Massive Attack album. I've owned this album for some years and guarantee I will own it for many more. Teardrops is top of list on my All Time Tracks. The guest singers Massive Attack have on their albums is always of top quality. Mezzanine delivers in all aspects and is what electronic music is all about. Robert Del Naja is the key on this album, a brilliant song writer and vocalist. Inertia Creeps is such a deep song with a fantastic bass line and can really get you in the mood (if you know what I mean).

Advantages: a great second album from the Argentinian tango-ists
Disadvantages: none

...Gotan Project's first album 'Le Revancha del Tango' took a couple of listens to grow on me. When I heard Lunatico playing, I recognised the sound, although it wasn't a track I'd heard before. After buying the album, I found Lunatico a lot easier to get into then Revancha del Tango, with a more lighthearted feel to it. It is certainly true that they have managed to go in a different direction then that which they took with Revancha del Tango. Their stated aim in making this album was to go forward by returning to the roots of tango, I haven't heard much tango music, so I can't compare, but they have certainly made another classic. The stand out track on this album for me was 'Mi Confession' featuring Argentinian rapper Koxmoz. Overall the album features more collaborations and a a wider mix of flavours then Revancha del Tango... Read review
