Artist: The Brian Setzer Orchestra
Album: Guitar Slinger Released: 1996 Source: Interscope
Genre: Rockabilly Format: eac/ape
QUOTE Review:
On his second Orchestra album and fourth solo album overall, Brian
Setzer extends the genre exercise in jump blues he first tackled on The
Brian Setzer Orchestra album. Of course, Setzer, best known as the
singer/guitarist from the Stray Cats, is no stranger to retro stylings,
and the guitar-dominated, yet horn-filled arrangements of the orchestra
are not all that far removed from the Cats' rockabilly update,
especially given Setzer's fervent singing and characteristic lead work.
(A new version of the Cats' "Rumble in Brighton" fits right in.) And
he's not shy, leading off with a Stevie Ray Vaughan cover, "The House Is
Rockin'," swaggering his way through the Gene Pitn

INXS Album: Welcome to Wherever You Are Released: 1992
Source: Atlantic Genre: pop rock/new wave Format:
eac.ape.309mb
Review: Although INXS needed to
experiment badly, their attempt at self-reinvention, Welcome to Wherever
You Are, didn't even come close to gaining commercial or critical
acceptance. From the start of the album, it's clear that INXS are out to
confuse the standard perceptions of the band; the first instrument on
the album is an Eastern-flavored horn. Special recording effects and
exotic rhythms and sounds are abundant on the album. Evidently, the pop
audience didn't care about INXS anymore, since nobody bought the album.
And that is a shame, since it is one of their strongest.

Description :
"Nothing is gonna come
between us and our fans, and it will be death before dishonour - this is
Iron Fucking Maiden!" That was Bruce Dickinson, speaking out under a
hail of eggs and detritus at last years's Ozzfest isn San Bernardino,
California, during one of the most controversial and infamous incidents
in recent rock history. That, my friends, is a frontman.

This album is my favorite from this performer. There is so much
personality to this record. The title track kicks things off with a
smooth, melodic flow and the journey begins. Hughes' voice is
unbelievable and he is one of the most underappreciated rock talents of
all time. There are some rockers on here as well. Great album.
