A.C.T. Silence
A very progressive and technical delivery is nicely balanced against catchy melodies and memorable passages with most songs dying out around 4 minutes, giving the album a sense of both complicity and accessibility.
Experimental, unique and most of the time very successful, interesting band indeed.

Gary Huges. Once And Future King - Part II
Great album from Ten vocalist, plenty of emotional arrangements and memorable song writing.

Harem Scarem. Human Nature
Uncomplicated, harmonious and memorable. A thrilling Hard Rock album that makes me think of another cool Hard Rock act Pretty Maids. Next Time Around has an amazing vivid drive.

Platitude. Secrets Of Life
This release simply needed time to unveil it's true potential, I've been coming back to it for a while now and it only gets better and more coherent for each time. A catchy and symphonic mix of Prog, Power and Rock added that special memorable element.

Ray Wilson & Stiltskin. She
This is Rock that goes straight to the soul. Amazing warm voice added a rhythm section that mildly put kicks ass. The album has a lot of layers so be sure to give it enough time to opens its hypnotic world.

Richard Andersson's Space Oddyssey. Tears Of The Sun
Direct and Heavy Rock orientated album with illuminating vocals from Andromeda singer David Fremberg. Sadly Obsession is way too close to Black Sabbath's Anno Mundi but there is more inspirational work to enjoy. Short but still a decent album.

Richie Kotzen. Get Up
After falling totally for Richie's newest release Into The Black I had to get hold of some older stuff too. It's not as mind blowing as the aforementioned but different in a cool way, a bit more raw and up beat, still with strong attitude and that unpredictable edge that makes his music so intense.

Sieges Even. A Sense Of Change
Odd, sophisticated, unsettling.a band of many names. A Sense Of Change guarantees technicality of a different world and clever passages in abundance with some songs appearing more complete than others.

Street Talk. Restoration
Smooth and warm Melodic Rock that can only make you feel good. Hare And Hounds and Tables Turning are immediately addictive.

Tori Amos. Little Earthquakes
This is something completely unique and stirring about this album. Phenomenal vocal skill and spellbinding piano melodies result in a magical sensation. Crucify, Silent All These Years, Winter, China, Tear In Your Hand.enough said.

Virgin Steele. Visions Of Eden
Haunting atmospheres and dramatic passages. A new level of darkness has been reached. Brilliant album.
