Gina Longo – Early Girl (CD)

  Never Try to Change You 2 is a catchy bit of pop-country that touches upon Shania Twain, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and Natalie Cole before ending.

Engloria – Shine (CD)

  High Tonight is an incredibly high energy track, and it shows that each member of Engloria throws their heart and soul into the track.

Opening Sound – Opening Sound (CD)

I believe that the most difficult task that a musician can take is committing oneself to the creation of a ten minute-plus track.

It is simply not enough to merely repeat different arrangements (albeit with minor variations) for the bulk of the composition. Opening Sound dives headlong into this enterprise…

Matthias Sturm – Blood and Thunder (CD)

  It is rare to hear such a narrative-heavy album. Hints of Donovan, Phil Ochs, and Simon & Garfunkel can all be heard in Blood and Thunder’s first track, Mister D. The instrumentation on the track has a similar gravity to it. Strum takes an interesting tack during this album; rather than having the instrumental arrangements continually red-line a listener’s speakers, there is a careful consideration for how each part…
