(The) Morlanda Organ

Advantages: amazing guitar work with super cool rock lyrics!
Disadvantages: none

...This album rocks! There's not one thing that I don't like about it. The title track "Burning organ" reveals some of Paul Gilbert's amazing blues guitar influences and is put very well with the organ which I think is a hammond organ. It is an instrumental song and is one of the best tracks on the album. The song "My Religion" is a beautiful pop style ballad but still involves some very complicated guitar playing to make it Gilbert style! My favourite song on the album is "Bliss" mainly because of the blistering fast guitar solo but also because of the super cool rock lyrics! If you like Paul Gilbert's guitar playing but would like to hear him sing too this is the album for you! One of Gilbert's best albums!... Read review

Advantages: fantastic dance music
Disadvantages: getting a copy

...I seem to be making a habit of finding rare and obscure books or music, Well this is no exception. This is Tielman Susato, Dansereye 1551. Tielman Susato was a cathedral musician and a copyist. He also played in the town band. He set up a publishing shop in Antwerp. He published many of the Chansons and Motets of the day. He also published this book of dance in 1551. There was music in Church. Organ and vocal, catholic and Protestant both. There was music at Royal court. Here as church bishop you could afford to keep several professional musicians. There was the town band, The Waits, professionals who could play in church and at important civic functions. The alehouse usually had something like a violin hung on the wall for anybody to play, though the pitch and tuning can only be wondered at. A major Fayre could attract some... Read review

Advantages: mind boggling
Disadvantages: won't tell you what to think say or do if that is what you want

...Tourist is it seems, to me, underground and or experimental in its sound. With this album you can be a sound hearer hearing new songs played and heard for the first like you are one of the hippest people around. I would be happy if lots of us on Ciao got together and bought this album. Or we could download it off the internet either by paying for it as we have been told to on the news or steal it as we are expected to do by the thought police. Every track on Tourist is good they are sung in English although it is a French album. In order they are Rose Rouge which in English means red rose. It has vocals, trumpet and drums. Montego Bay Spleen is in a dub style with drumming, guitar and organ but no vocals. So Flute is a manic flute. Land Of is a Blues organ and piano drums and saxophone. Latin Note is a piano xylophone and shaker... Read review
