Leah-Carla Gordone – Dancing On The Dragon (CD)

Leah-Carla Gordone – Dancing On The Dragon / 2005 Butterfly Child / 11 Tracks / http://www.leahcarlagordone.com / jw162@att.net / Reviewed 26 December 2005 “Beauty” is a solid opening to “Dancing On The Dragon”, but ultimately suffers from the fact that it is stretched out to a time approximating six and a half minutes. Aside from the strong vocals from Gordone, there is a very impressive jazz horn solo that flitters…

“The Minstrel Cycle” – 1d4 Saving Throw Versus Evil

The Minstrel Cycle was formed in 2004 by five Mountain Dew-addled high school friends who played both rock music and Dungeons & Dragons, and thirsted for a way to fuse their passions. The theatricality of rock and the pageantry of the high fantasy genre could meet in a blessed union, loud guitars and heavy drums mingling with mandolins and flutes like dwarves and elves drinking mead together at a magical…

As an experimental-pop collective, they paint songs with imagery and imagination while making fans out of the most cynical of critics. Principal members Paul Hammer and Deidre Muro never imagined they would be getting so much attention, from either the blogosophere or A&R scouts. The band…

Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan (4.02% ABV)

While we have had a few nut and brown ales over the course of our post-21 years, I feel that the Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale put out by Lazy Magnolia is one of the beast efforts that we have tasted in the style. The label itself is fairly nondescript, blending tan with brown lettering, while the beer’s color is rendered invisible by the brown color of the bottle.

The Goons of Doom – Bikey Zomby (CD)

The Goons of Doom – Bikey Zomby / 2005 Volcom / 5 Tracks / http://www.purevolume.com/goonsofdoom / http://www.volcoment.com / Reviewed 13 September 2005 It makes tremendous sense that Ozzie Wright, a professional surfer, would create The Goons of Doom, who start out their “Bikey Zomby” with the surf-influenced “She Wore Rat Skin Boots”. The amount of Dick Dale-esque riffs tends to almost overwhelm listeners, but luckily enough are couched behind some…

Pony Friends 2 (Nintendo DS)

After a long time reviewing the RPG side of Square Enix’s efforts, it seems only fair that we here at NeuFutur are looking into their sim games. Pony Friends 2 is a game designed for the younger set, but it contains more than enough game play elements to keep older individuals interested. The customization side of things is present on the onset, with players allowed to change up their own…

TGL – Self/Titled EP (CD)

This was the first thing to be released in the Greencastle music scene, to be played on the NeuFutur radio show, and this was a very rough recording to say the least. While the emotive lyrics of Trevor’s can be heard throughout the disc, the simple fact was that everything forms and congeals into one loud mess, consisting of the rhythm guitar, bass, and drum set. “Save Me”, the discs’…
