Benlavain – Come On People (CD)

The straight forward rock sound of Benlavain works well with the slightly snotty lead vocals of Oren. With a healthy dollop of sixties psychedelic rock, Benlavain just as successfully blend the two disparate styles as either Ming Tea or Lenny Kravitz could ever. Later tracks like “Ain’t Got Love For Yo” move further back into the psychedelic realm, with enough distortion to take over practically all facets of a track.…

Luis Felipe Edwards: Rosa Blanca (Cabernet Sauvignon 2006)

We at NeuFutur have not had much in the way of experience with wine reviewing. Our previous experiences have dealt with a limited subset of wine varietals, and the latest effort for the Luis Felipe Edwards company, their 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, is the first of the type we’ve been able to review. This organically grown wine has a bouquet that is unique in its marriage of soft notes with an…

Green Carnation – special limited edition of “Alive And Well… In Kraków” DVD out in April

Green Carnation – this Norwegian band was formed in 1990 and has created songs from both progressive rock and progressive metal genres. The band’s music was continuously losing its heaviness with each release – from straight forward death metal, doom metal/progressive metal, to a more hard rock-sounding form of progressive rock and in 2006, went as far as to releasing an entirely acoustic album “Acoustic Verses”. anfnewsacctwww.neufutur.com

…Bender – S/T (CD)

There is a definite difficulty in trying to categorize or even talk about what type of band …Bender is. The closest thing I can come with is an ambient band that creates soundscapes, not ever conforming to what would be expected from them if they were a more conformational band. Vocals on tracks such as “Trouble Is” are not just to purvey a specific message but also to step in…

Behemoth – Buford (CD)

Yet another of the oddly-premised bands off of the Columbus-based label Diaphragm records, Behemoth plays a type of down-and-dirty punk music that reminds one of “Jesus Built My Hotrod”- era Ministry meets ZZ Top and Black Sabbath. While I am going purely by the cd liner notes, the band looks to have an average age of 35, and yet still rocks out more than kids that are 20. With guitars…

Beginning Is The End – No Direction (CD)

B.I.T.E.’s vocalist Adam sounds as if eir does not have English as a native language. This is not to say that ey screws up verbs and tenses, but rather the accents on some of the syllables on “No Direction” are a little odd compared to most American English speakers. The recording on “No Direction is a little rough as well, favoring a gritty/high end feel that gives much greater attention…
