Cotton Mather – Kontiki [Deluxe Edition] (CD)

Austin’s Cotton Mather reside in that category of extremely talented/highly underrated bands, a slot that has included groups like Jellyfish, Big Star and Teenage Fanclub to name just a very few. That has, thankfully not stopped The Star Apple Kingdom label for re-releasing Kontiki, their best album, in an impressive two disc set. Originally put out in 1997, when the general public was inexplicable shelling out cash for The Spice…

Telephoned Release “Ring Ring” EP

If you consider “pop” a dirty word, Telephoned are the filthiest act you’ll hear all year. Somehow, frontwoman Maggie Horn and producer / DJ Sammy Bananas still manage to turn even the guiltiest of radio pleasures into indie-approved party jams we can all be proud of. Ring Ring is their first EP of originals on Fool’s Gold, harnessing the good-time energy of the group’s cover-heavy mixtapes and live sets to…

Samuel Adams Alpine Spring

It is hard for a beer company to continually innovate. This is made all the more difficult when it feels that may beer companies are utterly complacent with the beers that they are currently releasing. Samuel Adams is one of the few breweries that are actively changing their efforts in a meaningful way, and this is a great amount of the reason why I find myself picking up a sixer…

Punishment Nutrition Muscle Fusion (Chocolate)

It has been a while since we have been surprised by a new workout supplement company. It seems that many of these companies do little more than ape a product that is currently on the market without adding anything new or interesting to the mix. Muscle Fusion is one of Punishment’s mainline products, and it is marketed at a price point ($60) that keeps it well within the budgets of…

Dry Erase Ultra-Calming Face Cream

This is perhaps one of the best lotions that we have been able to review at NeuFutur. The cost of the Dry Erase Cream is only $38, which puts it toward the lower end of luxury. The amount of product that is needed to properly cover a patch of skin is incredibly small, which will allow purchasers to make a bottle of the cream stretch out for months. Check out…

NeverDead (Xbox 360)

Konami has created this game with the comic fan in mind. There is no sense that the character that you play can actually die – one can go through the proverbial woodchipper and still live to tell the tale. Bryce, the demon hunter that players are tasked to use, is someone that makes eir livelihood through the killing of demons. Bryce has to stop a massive demon attack that could…

Dragon Age: Redemption (DVD)

Dragon Age is one of the world’s largest RPG franchises, so it makes a lot of sense that there would be efforts to immortalize the game on celluloid. Dragon Age: Redemption is a title that draws considerably from the game’s mythos, but from traditional fantasy and tales of yore. Felicia Day (from The Guild) is the focal point of Redemption, an episodic tale that is presented in a serial format.…

VPX Friction / Pre-workout Review

Without getting too much into the nuts and bolts of running a magazine, one has to contact the relevant individual at a company with a coverage pitch. Some companies respond immediately, while one has to show their worth to other companies. We’re pleased to report that we received VPX’s pre-workout Friction for review, and that it’s quality showcases why VPX is head and shoulders above other supplement companies. The Exotic…

TNA: Bound for Glory 2011 (DVD)

It has been a while since we last reviewed a wrestling release. What better product could we receive to mark the re-opening of the wrestling reviews section? TNA (Impact Wrestling) puts on one of their historically best PPVs, and the 2011 edition of the show is no different. The show united some of wrestling’s biggest stars (Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Sting, and Hulk Hogan) with those talents that will…

Drive (DVD)

The sharpness of Drive’s print, even on the DVD format, showcases the amount of care that Sony has taken in transferring this onto a home video format. For viewers that wish to get more information about Drive, the included featurettes showcase the intense cars that are used (Under the Hood), the difficulty in the different stunts (Driver and Irene), and an in-depth look at Drive’s producer (Nicolas Winding Refn). Drive…

Lyle Lovett – Release Me (CD)

Lyle Lovett has finally hit that point in his career where he can turn in a covers album and not be accused of simply fulfilling a contract agreement or tossing out a record as a desperate last grab for relevancy or to make the next mortgage payment (I’m looking at you Rod Stewart). Ok, so the fact that this is his last record for longtime label Curb may have just…

GoPicnic Ready-to-Eat Meals

Many of the professionals that are currently making large decisions for companies grew up on Lunchables. If they have not, there is a good chance that they have had to deal with airline food. GoPicnic is a company that looks to sate both sets of individuals. By making a wide array of different meals, the company is able to give those too busy for a proper meal something that is…

Sid & Nancy: Collector’s Edition (Blu-Ray Disc)

The amount of care that MGM put into this version of Sid & Nancy makes it into one of the best Collector’s Editions / reissues that we have reviewed for NeuFutur. The grim, gritty feeling of the movie is restored to its original film quality, while the soundtrack feels much more visceral and in your face than it did on either VHS or DVD formats of the film. For individuals…
