Alpha Conspiracy, The - 29-Jun-09 03:28 AM
Andrew Sega deserves more major recognition for the sheer diversity and very consistent musicality of his (electronic and otherwise) compositions. Very atmospheric and intelligent. Really shifts your thinking into sidereal planes. I was introduced to his music through the Cipher sampler on Kahvi Collective (get it if you haven't already - it's free!), and I'm always on the lookout for more of his productions. "I sit tight and smile again" - indeed! Keep up the good work Andrew.

Megadeth - Rust In Peace - 19-Mar-09 10:00 PM
Truly the epitome of speed metal in the '90s, I blew countless hours first learning to play as much of this album as I could, and then playing along with incessantly - driving my family insane in the process. Almost two decades on I'm still challenged by the playing on this album. Every member of the band is absolutely on fire on every track on the album. Both guitar players smash the utter shit out of both the rhythm parts and the lead parts - both perfectly complimentary to the other's style - Marty's exoticism and panache vs. Dave's furious energy and daring. How could they possibly top this? No wonder they ended up on therapy...

Jean-Luc Ponty - Individual Choice - 19-Feb-09 12:31 AM
Jean-Luc of course in fine form, but the real highlights onthis album for me are the side men he brought in to assist. Allan Holdsworth! This was the first album I ever heard him play on believe it or not - I thought I was listening to Joe Satriani. Almost needless to say that Holdsworth is faultless on this recording, but listen out for great performances from Randy Jackson (of Idol fame) at the height of his powers gelling immaculately with the legendary drummer Rayford Griffin on some very modern sounding beats. Also a synth cameo from the awesome George Duke (sometime Zappa virtuoso and funkster extraordinaire) on track 3.

Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays - As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls - 25-Aug-08 12:52 AM
This was one of my first introductions to pieces of music that last for more than twenty minutes without big overblown solos everywhere. Side one is just pure atmospheres, developing in beautiful spaces, it's almost ambient but there's always something simmering under the placid surface. Pat and Lyle do dark ambience so well when they put their hand to it. Love "September Fifteenth (Dedicated To Bill Evans)" - tried to learn how to play it but I couldn't do it justice... (75 words blah)

DLT - Liquid Skies - 05-Aug-08 01:02 AM
I'm so glad that I was lucky enough to hear the original version of this song. I don't care for any of the remixes, but given the calibre of the original I think that's fair enough. I hadn't had much exposure to DLTs music, and the genre he's most familiar to, so I might not have heard Liquid Skies in a slightly different dimension. But I was lucky! There's a kind of dreamlike quality to the music that takes me to places no other track does, somewhere out west, Parakai maybe... deep herb buzz... a little bit dangerous in the vocals...

it's f*ckn TRUESCHOOL for real :)
