Charlie Dane – Dreamland (CD)

Dreamland begins with the titular effort; listeners will be immediately hooked by Dane’s familiar yet inimitable style. I feel that the opening effort provides a full explanation for the styles and influences that are to follow. Once In A While has a timeless feel to it that provides a much richer instrumentation than is typically heard in pop music. Dane’s vocals perfectly fit with the track’s bouncing beat; hints of…

The Stitches – 8 x 12” (CD)

  The notes in the liner for “8 x 12”” say that all the songs were written in 1995, over fifteen years ago. When “Nowhere” kicks into affect, the one thing that has to be said is that the track does not sound to be dated in the least. The production is great, allow9ing for each guitar line or drum hit to contribute equally for The Stitches. All of the…

Stiilpoint – Bleed Every Note (CD)

  “Who You Are” has a style of hard rock music that blends early Manson with Filter and Stabbing Westward to link together the eighties and nineties into a style of music that is Stiilpoint’s own. “Who You Are” also moves into a Deftones-like direction, one that has been travailed in the past but without the ability shown by Stiilpoint. The production seems to have a little to much of…

The Snorks – The Complete First Season (DVD Set)

  I always thought that The Snorks were one of the strongest kids shows of the eighties, and that this cartoon never got the love that it truly deserved. The video quality of the episodes captured here is extremely sharp; I would contend that the transfer is miles above what individuals would have seen during its original air date. The audio is sharp, ensuring that viewers can have an immersive…

Bacardi Oakheart Review (Rum)

Spiced Rums have not gotten he love that they deserve; Bacardi Oakheart is looking to clear its name. The spirit starts out in an authoritative fashion, with strong notes of oak and bergamot. When individuals take their first sip, the mouthful is very warm and peppery. Each subsequent sip will yield a different collection of styles and flavors; the Oakheart sails on vanilla and smoke flavors. The versatility of the…
