DJ Axel – Breakin’ The Law / 2007 Holden / 15 Tracks / http://www.djaxel.com / I love mashups, and when individuals are able to make completely new albums (such as in the case of Girl Talk), the love only increases. I must admit, I had not heard much about DJ Axel in the past, although I was aware of a number of mashup albums (most famously, “The Grey Albumâ€). Anyways,…
Los Angeles psychedelic rockers Bigelf has posted its music video for the song “Pain Killers” online at this location. The hard-rockin’ track is taken from the band’s cult, underground album Hex. Recorded in 2003, Hex is available domestically for the first time ever via the Custard label and is in stores now.
The album has 8 songs, and was released in 1999 on Status Records.It cost me nothing. Out of the 8 songs on the disc, 4 are instrumental. This takes up about 23 minutes of a 42 minute disc. please note however, that the band plays some wicked indy rock with excellent bass playing, drumming and song structuring. The instrumentals are simply brilliant with a journey available in the wonderful guitar…

This album marks an interesting premise for a “greatest hits†compilation. Rather than just having the songs originally penned by Oakenfold (“Starry Eyed Surpriseâ€, “Ready…
Houston-based, progressively-instrumental indie rockers (phew!), Motion Turns It On are this week’s Amplifier Magazine’s “Amplified” feature artist, placing them alongside former “Amplified” artists such as The National, The Kooks and Maritime to name a few.
This has 11 songs, and it was made in 1989 on Restless Records. It cost me $7 in trade. While MDC was original and long lasting, this 7 seconds disc isn’t. The title track “Satyagratia” is a indy rock song in the vain of REM, which is not what 7 seconds is about. The songs aren’t that bad, but when i bought the album, i had expected a different sound.…
