Various - Triple J: Like A Version - 01-Oct-06 01:44 AM
Like A Version is a weekly morning segment on Triple J, an Australian national radio station. The presenter, Mel Bampton, gets an artist or group into the studio to do a cover of any song of their choosing. For the range of artists, songs chosen and styles played, this program has become a big favourite for listeners. And this, is the first CD compilation of the live on air performances.
This is not a CD for those who like to sit in one genre. The original songs release dates cover almost 40 years so an open mind of music is a must. But its so rewarding when you hear how these modern artists interpret these songs. For example, the cover of Hotel California being sung entrely in French, The Pictures strumming Milkshake on guitar (the riff sounding suspiciously like Wake Up Little Suzy) and the cover of Hyperballad with only a cello and guitar.
Its not a party starter, but more like an exhibition of music and a bit of insight as to how artists can influence other artists.
Sangre - En Memoria - 15-May-05 02:47 PM
This is a high BPM hardcore record that has a distinct gothic feel to it. Mainly because of its melody line, which is made up of classical instruments (piano, strings, horn), the usual electronic synth and all in a minor key. Add to that some intense Deathmetal style vocal nonsense and you have a record that really stands out of the crowd.
More please.
Panics, The - A House On A Street In A Town Where I'm From - 16-Feb-05 08:38 AM
Fantastic record. Its mainly a compilation of their best songs from their four previous EPs, some of which have been touched up, and a couple of extra instrumental tracks which will leave you dizzy after theyre finished.
These guys are the best songwriters in Australia at the moment, but youll never hear of them because theyre not loud like AC/DC, stylised like Jet or aggro like The Vines. Have a listen and hear what the most genuine Australian sound is like, without all the hype or the effort.

This is a record I simply had to have for the track "Rhythm Is A Gabba". It combines one of my pop favourites, Rhythm Is A Dancer with a hardcore beat. This brought a huge smile to my face. The rest of the tracks make up some good mayhem.
Sunjammer - Hate Made Life Worth Living - 07-Jan-05 02:30 AM
A3 - Munen Mushin is the most original hardcore track Ive ever heard and its really only made of two elements. One is a syncopated kickdrum that plays brutally from start to finish. The second is a seriously distorted tune that is constantly playing in the background which just manages to scratch that proverbial itch.
A track like this is why I rate Sunjammer as one of the best hardcore producers around. The rest of the record is all quality too.
