Review Prong continues to refine
their piercing attack on Rude Awakening, while they are simultaneously
expanding their sonic vocabularly. Throughout the record, they continue
to mix in industrial rhythms and effects — there are samples scattered
all over the album — but the key to the success of Rude Awakening is the
precise, drilling effect of the group's jackhammer riffs. The
relentless, brutal pounding of Prong's attack masks the band's inventive
song structures. While they might not have many me

Quote
By 1990's aptly named Charmed Life, Billy
Idol was seemingly more well-known for his excessive lifestyle than his
creative zenith of a few years prior. This made his channeling of Jim
Morrison on a rowdy cover of "LA Woman" even more apt. He had done so
before, of course, most memorably on 1986's Whiplash Smile. But where
Idol's clever amalgam of dance beats and punky guitar breaks had done
its part to define the 1980s, his u

Artist: JESUS ON EXTASY Album: HOLY BEAUTY
Year: 2007 Label: Amiga Style: Industrial/synthpop
Format: Eac-ape-covers
Quote
Jesus on Extasy is a band that will quickly gain success.
Musicwise comparable to Dope Stars Inc. and Deathstars and strongly
influenced by their great role model Marilyn Manson. Industrial rock
with a little glam. On the single ‘Assassinate Me’ it surely delivers.
This is a nice song as well. For a full length album it however seems
harder to keep it up in musical respect and it quickly becomes boring.
Yet the album Holy Beauty has some nice songs that are interesting for
whoever likes t

Genre:
Rock Styles: Adult Alternative Pop/Rock, Synth-Pop
Label:
Mute (CDSTUMM288)
Description:
Sophomore solo effort
from Depeche Mode frontman follows his 2003 debut 'Paper Monsters'.
Where that album featured a heavy use of guitar in a bid to forge him an
identity distinct from the band, this release is more synthesizer
driven and, while the music is reminiscent of his day job, the
lyricalvoice - dark and anguished - is all his own. Co-produced and
co-written with Gahan by Andrew Philpott and Christian Eigner ('Paper
Monsters', Depeche Mode's 'Playing The Angel'), it includes the single
'Kingdom'.
Specs: EAC / APE / Cue / Log / No Covers

Евгений Гудзь – маньяк. Не потому, что
всегда говорит только про угар. А потому, что он единственный, кто смог
создать то, что опошлили в конце концов «Вопли Видоплясова». А именно
украино-цыганский панк-рок. Но при этом поет-то он по-английски. И
выпускается на мажорных лейблах. И творит на сцене все, что захочет.
Но ведь под такую музыку и правда хочется творить что попало. Хочется
прыгать и орать. Или лежать и смеяться. Или оголтело танцевать, вертя в
руках собственную… предположим, тельняшку.

Седьмой студийный альбом за 15 лет. PJ Harvey
из тех артистов, кто своим творчеством вызывает не любовь, а уважение.
Не знаю, есть ли на Земле ее безумно преданные фанаты, но людей,
которые ждут ее альбомов, слушают (а может и не слушают) и заключают:
"да, мол, это же PJ, она крутая" немало. Наверное, уже многие слышали,

Ring may not be the most innovative rock and roll album ever made, it is
Iggy Pop, which makes it worth a listen. This time out, Iggy
presents us with a concrete, no-frills, fast tempo CD featuring an
assortment of backing bands. Of these groups, the most notable is the
resurrection of the original surviving Stooges. Their four songs fit the
bill quite well,
