Twisted Designz - Panacea

Advantages: A brilliant début album of rock n roll excellence.
Disadvantages: Dear Superstar are not as successful as they should be.

...I first heard Dear Superstar in 2005 when I received their 'Submission Of Your Soul' EP, and was extremely impressed with what the band had to offer. When this album first came about it was self released by the band, once again showing their intense talent and keen ear for a brilliant rock song. After they'd self financed this album and originally self released it also, their music caught the attention of the Casket Music record label and they decided to give this album an official release and as such a wider distribution. With 'Confessions Of A Twisted Mind' these self confessed sleaze rockers have here written an album that has all the intensity of the live setting captured on CD. There are so many great tracks on display here, right from anthemic opener 'Sunset Strip Suicide,' to the colossal closer of 'Little Devil.' The band... Read review

Advantages: Absolutely banging
Disadvantages: none

...I'm amazed that no-one has written a review on this CD yet....and as you can probably guess.......I love Hed Kandi it really is music you can listen to anytime and anywhere. The Twisted Disco series of releases (as I said in my previous Hed Kandi review) are easily my favourites as I prefer my house music to be a little like me........deep, bangin, dirty and rough around the edges!! ha What you get with this CD is pretty much in the title "Twisted Disco", what they do is take some well known, and some not-so well known dance tracks or vocal remixes, strip them down, take off the shiney edges and drop in a dirty beat. The track of the CD for me is number 10 on CD 1. It is a remix of the Eric Prydz Vs Pink Floyd hit "Proper Education". The track has been mixed by a guy called Sebastian Ingrosso. The CD also includes a cool... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic music.
Disadvantages: None

...Twisted was released in 1995 and since that day has been one of the most loved, most listened to and most comforting cds in my collection. I think that anyone who really likes music wants to find that one special band, that one particular sound that makes everything seem just that little bit easier when you hear it. For me, Del Amitri is that band. I listen to their music and for that time i feel uplifted, happy, relaxed, comfortable and more to the point, content with the fact that i am listening to some very accomplished musicians. And so, to Twisted, i would say, in my opinion, this is their best known album. Certainly amongst people i know anyway. I also know someone who claims to hate Del Amitri and yet even he admits to liking 3 of the songs on this album, which i think speaks volumes in respect of this being a very fine album...
