We rarely receive straight vodkas for review in NeuFutur. This is likely because there are not many different types of plain vodka that are being added to the market. What is much more common is flavored variants of traditional vodkas (Stoli, Smirnoff); we were excited to see (and experience) what a new hand could do to the tried and true vodka format. Moon Mountain Vodka is a new product, and…

We received a ginger vodka in the mail a few months ago and were not impressed with how the company blended together the flavor with the vodka. However, we were approached to cover Yazi Ginger Vodka and thought that we would give the pairing a second shot. We are glad we did, as the Yazi represents one of the few flavored vodkas that are worth the time and money it…
Between sand dunes and icebergs, volcanoes and valleys, lies Canyons, an Australian duo on the verge of releasing their long-awaited debut album, ‘Keep Your Dreams’. With a previous release on DFA, and remixes for Tame Impala, The Juan Maclean, Ladyhawke and !!!, Canyons are far from newcomers, however the forthcoming ‘Keep Your Dreams’ is the first full-length exploration of their sonic vision. The first official single from the album is…

A Faylene Sky will be heading out on the Thrust Management Tour presented by Merchnow starting this week! See dates below. Since their first release in 2007, The Hero Vs. Us, A Faylene Sky has been making an impact on the Providence, Rhode Island music scene and beyond. By…
Music doesn’t get any more harrowing and in-your-face insane than Ministry. Luckily for us, Doug Freel was there in 1996 when the band was at its most…well, everything… to document every moment. The good, the bad, the downright uncomfortable, very ugly and extremely fascinating. Screenings of “FIX: The Ministry Movie” have been few and far between (only a couple “friends and family” type events). The screenings announced below offer a…
This is by far the most popular product that we have received for review at NeuFutur. Herr’s latest effort, their Hot Sauce Flavored Potato Chips, is simply amazing. While we usually focus on the health side of things, sometimes it is nice to just pig out. It seems as if the hot sauce or hot element that is used to flavor things typically is a no-name brand, but Herr’s has…
Her soulful vocal style and poignant interpretations of holiday classics are a reflection of her diverse influences in music. Renowned pianist, arranger, composer and author Dr. Monika Herzig adds her unique spin to these festive tunes to showcase Ramsey’s ability to sing many styles. Ramsey draws some of her influence on this album from the beloved holiday music of The Carpenters. “I’ll admit it, I’m a huge Karen Carpenter fan,…
Remy Martin is a very forward type of company. In fact, by releasing this clear product, I have little doubt in my mind that all of the other cognac producers will be following Remy’s lead in the years to come. The Remy V is a clear spirit distilled from grapes, and is filtered through a cold line to be given its unique flair. The Remy V is also distinct from…
In 1994, while still in high school, Darcie and I founded Polyvinyl Press, a photocopied fanzine which mainly covered the DIY music scene we loved in the Champaign-Urbana, IL area and the greater Midwest. We sold zines at local record stores, at whatever ramshackle tables we could find in the back of basement shows, traded zines with other zine writers, and sent them out one-at-a-time via mailorder. We made countless…
There is a sense a lot of times that protein bars are just like other workout products on the market – they taste horrible but are needed to increase the amount of fitness that one has. As a result, I think that a great deal of different protein bars that are on the market get by with a sub-optimum taste. However, Designer Whey has created a line of protein bars…
The video, for the track “M.O.D.,” taken from their album Misanthropic Slaughter was shot earlier this month in an abandon warehouse in Vail, AZ. Production and direction came courtesy of Sean Sinerius and Robert Jaime at Big Shot Studios, who previously worked with HEMOPTYSIS on the “Shadow of Death” video. The band plans to release the video this fall. In other HEMOPTYSIS news, the band has announced the following live…
Edge Of Paradise is fronted by the stunning Margarita Monet who delivers potent yet melodic vocals along with virtuoso keyboard playing that adds a unique classical flair to the band’s sonic metal assault. Combine that with the ferocious fretwork of guitarist Dave Bates who intertwines compelling leads and bombastic riffs and you’ve got a band that offers something highly refreshing in today’s modern metal sound-scape. Mask also features guest appearances…
The comfort of these pants is nothing less than complete – the fabric that is used here is nothing less than top notch. Couple the inclusion of smart fabric with a very forgiving type of cut, and individuals should be able to wear the Coleen Bow Soft Pants in pretty much any situation, no matter whether it is casual or formal. The high-cut waistband that these pants employ allow for…
There is no reason why this DVD set should not be picked up for anyone that loves cinema or sci-fi movies specifically. This is due to the fact that this collection contains 50 different movies that range the gamut from fairly large-budget all the way down to slightly larger than independent movies. More impressive than the levels of films that are present on this set would have to be the…
The main problem that I see with protein bars is that a great many of them are chock full of sugar; this alone makes it problematic for individuals that have diabetes to actually get the sort of additional protein or vitamins and minerals that they may need. Promax has just released a protein bar that has a low amount of sugar, so that individuals that have cut out sugar from…
The up-and-coming Norwegian progressive avant-garde metal sensation LEPROUS will be making their highly anticipated return to North America as part of the Prog Power Festival in Atlanta, GA. The band will once again be serving as Ihsahn’s backing band. Their performance will be taking place at The Center Stage in Atlanta, GA on Friday evening September 16th. Guitarist Øystein Landsverk commented on the band’s upcoming apperarance: “Once again we’re back…
Fans of TV sci-fi series are a tough bunch: if they don’t like your show you know about quickly through online rants and snarky tweets. But if they like it, they love it and will go to great lengths to let the rest of the world know that they should embrace it as well. Sanctuary, the Canadian series currently taking up residence on the Syfy Channel, falls into the latter…
Live Nation is pleased to announce that this fall, Sting will embark on the Back to Bass Tour throughout North America as he celebrates the 25th anniversary of his solo career by taking it back to bass…all of the hits, stripped down, as they haven’t been played in years. Tickets go on sale beginning September 19th at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com. In support of his forthcoming box set collection Sting: 25…
The quality of the footage on this Blu-Ray set is impressive, giving viewers the chance to watch each episode of Fringe in a way that (for me, at least) goes beyond even the original airing of the shows. This is due to the fact that viewers are provided with the HD airing of each episode without being forced to watch (or skip over) the numerous commercials that are omnipresent. Furthermore,…
