Whew, just made it in before midnight! Here's my list of favorites of 2010. It's been a helluva year, I'm very much looking forward to 2011 and what it might bring. It's all up from here, baby! In no particular order, they're all my favorites, and I've not got through most of anything past September. So apologies to all you wonderful musical folk who have sent me stuff. I'll slowly crawling out from under my rock. These few albums are very near and very dear to my heart. I couldn't have got through the year without them. [...]

Patriarch mp3 Pure Reason Revolution Hammer and Anvil .... pre-order it now! Chrome users: click this player please http://loveshackbaby.info/1010 /PureReasonRevolution_Patriarc h.mp3 Abrasively industrial, only to evolve into a cathartic chant backed by an electronic pulse, Pure Reason Revolution's newest record begins with a bang.

Abrasively industrial, only to evolve into a cathartic chant backed by an electronic pulse, Pure Reason Revolution's newest record begins with a bang. "Fight Fire With Fire" is what every PRR fan had hoped for as a follow up to Amor Vincit Omnia . Chloe Alper's vocals punch through the carefully laid plain made by guitars and synthesizer. Her defiance is palatable. It is a fitting start to what will be, without a doubt, the turning point for this band, as they break for good with their respectable, prog-rock origins. They took a new route with last [...]

Tart turned me onto this post on Pure Reason Revolution, and their criminally overlooked album Amor Vincit Omnia . From this album comes "Les Malheurs", an elusive little monster with huge melodies and an even bigger Big Pink-esque synth and bass-line. Read all about Pure Reason Revolution and a review of "the best album you've never heard of 20093 over at Love Shack, Baby . MP3: Pure Reason Revolution - Les Malheurs [...]

Önce gözlerinizi kapatın. Aklınıza ünlü Progressive Rock gruplarını getirin. Psychedelic yollara bile sapabilirsiniz. Camel , Rush , Pink Floyd , Porcupine Tree hatta Ozric Tentacles . Hmm iddialı bir liste oldu. Sonra hayli seyreltin bu elinizdekileri, günümüz anlayışıyla tekrar yoğurun, elektronik müzik ile tatlandırın. Bütün bunları yaptıktan sonra, sanırım karşınıza Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third albümü çıkacaktır. Pure Reason Revolution İngiliz bir grup. Bazılarına göre, bir grup İngiliz ise gerisi teferruattan ibarettir. Bir İngiliz veya İrlandalı, hadi İskoç, [...]

Dopo la scorpacciata di album italiani, post Sanremo e non solo, oggi i negozi di dischi vengono invasi soprattutto da nuove uscite che arrivano dall'estero. Segnaliamo dunque il disco della svolta pop di Chris Cornell e il ritorno solista di Pete Doherty . Si riaffacciano anche alcuni esponenti di genere come Andreas Vollenweider , Steven Wilson e J.J. Cale . Spunta poi fuori un fantomatico " The BPA " che nasconde un interessante super-gruppo nato sotto la guida di Norman Cook, meglio [...]

usually German radio is as bad as German rock bands. We can't wait: Internet radio in all cars = death of shitty corporate radio stations. Support good radio whenever you can!

Has it been a month already? Holy crap . . . where does the time go? Well, no matter. I've been busy all the same. I've mapped out another fantastic voyage for y'all and I fully expect you to come back from this journey with a list of music to interest your rabid addiction to fine music. This month's trek will lead us back to France for a spell, take us into Poland to hear about some vinyl, then across to England to watch a video, and then ultimately, back to the States for some home grown flavor and more [...]

Hi there! We've just moved from here to here , and what a nice and timely change, to be frank. For long have I endured the nuisances of Blogger and have been too lazy to actually do something about it, but no more! So, welcome to the new and improved blog . "Improved, how?" you say? I'll tell you how! Come closer, sit down by the fire and pour yeself a scotch, lad. Erm.. To be honest, I think the only change lies in the background, somewhere. It's mostly for [...]

I haven't followed prog metal/rock since the '90s, and only recently reconnected with that world through the German label InsideOut . Some of its stuff is obviously prog (baroque songs and agile chops), while other "prog" now seems more like sophisticated pop music. Bullitts Dominae Apprentice of the Universe Thus, I'm still figuring out that landscape. But in quality and quantity, InsideOut almost never disappoints (OSI, Devin Townsend, and Steve Hackett are but a few luminaries on its roster). Only some albums are metallic [...]
