Enigma - Seven Lives Many Faces - 01-Nov-08 06:42 AM
Wow a release within less than 3 years for Enigma, that's a great surprise! Other than that it is more of the same, a stable release with some good songs but none that jumps out. For an Enigma fan it is all fine I have been listening to this album constantly since it came out but just like the previous one there is nothing special to remember and it will soon be almost forgotten... 3 stars ***
Flashbulb, The - Soundtrack To A Vacant Life - 14-Apr-08 05:44 PM
Soundtrack to A Vacant Life brings a more mature Flashbulb that is much more confident with his techniques and more sure of his place as a modern day musician. Every piece is carefully crafted to perfect detail and the short length of these tracks makes them even more special like precious little gems.
Definitely his best album so far, but also one of the best albums in this genre in the last few years, easily surpassing recent works of veterans in his field. 4.9/5
Black Dog, The - Radio Scarecrow - 08-Apr-08 08:03 AM
The Black Dog come back with a certain nostalgia in Radio Scarecrow. The sounds used are reminiscent of their classic albums which gives Radio Scarecrow a retrospective feeling, in contrast to Silenced which introduced a different sound in the domain of Black Dog. This return to basics is most welcome for fans that have been following them since the beginning but perhaps brings the album out of context with contemporary music. A bold step that works quite well in its simplicity and directness presenting a stripped down Black Dog with no unnecessary bells and whistles. Definitely a refreshing new album that goes against the current of mediocrity of today's music.
