Schiff Sweet Slumber (Sleep)

With the sheer amount of different sleep aids on the market, it becomes hard to find the best one. Where natural sleep aids typically collect the same types of herbs, they do bundle them differently and in different amounts. The efficacy of these different supplements does vary, despite each of the herbs that they contain having some noticeable effect on ensuring that individuals go to sleep. Of these different sleep…

Perpetual Peace (DVD)

Peace is an interesting concept. Despite being a nation that prides itself on peace, the United States has gotten in to a tremendous amount of war. The idea of peace is something that is poorly defined; this is why the Perpetual Peace Project has gotten together to create this DVD. By trying to tease out what peace means, both in terms to individuals as well as in a philosophical sense,…

William Elliott Whitmore – Field Songs (CD)

“Field Songs” is the fifth album by William Elliott Whitmore, and it provides listeners with some of the most touching and compelling music of Whitmore’s career. The tracks on Field Songs unite into one cohesive entity – while the different tracks on the album can be enjoyed alone, I feel that there are is a considerable amount of intertrack interplay that one has to listen to to properly get what…

ER: The Complete 15th Season (DVD Set)

ER: The Complete 15th Season captured the final episodes of the venerable show, which all originally aired in 2008 and 2009. These twenty-two episodes tie together a number of the loose ends that had been presented viewers over the course of the show, while still having time to create cutting-edge medical drama. Where the 14th season had seemed to sputter due to the writer’s strike, the 15th season immediately hits…

Heather O’Neill – A Feminist Manifesto (CD)

“A Feminist Manifesto” begins with “Ballerina”, a spicy track that soars on the back of some sizzling horns. O’Neill’s vocals during “Ballerina” benefit from challenging time signatures and a style that touches upon pop, rock, and even country and blues in their execution. What is one of the most exciting sides of “A Feminist Manifesto” has to be the inclusion of stellar musicians to lay down the instrumental backdrop for…

Up Your Gas (Energy)

There are just so many different energy supplements that are currently on the market that it becomes difficult to figure out how they differ, both in terms of composition and quality. While the caffeine side of things feels pretty standard, there are literally hundreds of different compounds that can increase the amount of energy that an individual has. Up Your Gas may just have the most comprehensive amount of these…

Monk’s Blood (Beer)

Since we have started the beer reviews section at NeuFutur. I feel that our love for the stuff has drastically decreased. This is likely due to the fact that a great number of breweries create efforts that are not too terribly offensive. However, we have received a beer in the 21st Amendment Brewing’s Monk’s Blood that really recreates our love for the stuff. This beer comes out of the can…

Bushnell BackTrack D-Tour (Personal GPS)

Anyone that knows me knows that I have absolutely no sense of direction. I believe that I can continue having no sense of direction just as long as I have the Bushnell BackTrack D-Tour. This personal GPS is cheaply priced (around $100-125) and provides buyers with a way out of any geographical trouble that they may be in. There are other low cost handheld gps available in the market today that…

Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion

Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion is perhaps the best body lotion that we have used, and there are a good many reasons for why that is. The fragrance is what will immediately lure individuals in. The Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion line contains two efforts – Citrus and Lavender – that are mild while still having an assertive fragrance. The ability of these body lotions to spread is without fault – a…

G.H. Mumm De Cramant (Champagne)

We were lucky enough to receive this bottle of G.H. Mumm De Cramant before the Fourth of July. We chilled the bottle and served it to a number of the NeuFutur reviewing crew, and were able to pull a number of different notes and sides to this champagne. The G.H. Mumm De Cramant was first bottled in 1960, and benefits through the presence of Chardonnay grapes in a Blanc de…

Bruce Lipton’s Music for a Shift in Consciousness (CD)

Music can do a great many things. While many individuals just listen to music to lift (or support) their moods, Bruce Lipton wants to do much more with eir compositions. Specifically, ey wants to modify how an individual thinks and who an individual actually is – the shift in consciousness that is described in the disc’s title is brought through 9 distinct compositions. The album starts out with “Wisdom Calls…

MediTropin (Endocrine)

There are a number of distinct sides to MediTropin that will benefit anyone that takes the product. The product boosts the endocrine system, provides additional amounts of muscle protein, pushes through neurotransmitter activity, and gives a further kick to the immune and cardiovascular system. Each box of MediTropin comes with 60 effervescent sachets, which turn glasses of water into pretty tasty orange drink. It is always hard to believe that…

Child of Eden (Xbox 360)

I personally like the fact that games are currently being shipped for the Xbox 360 can use the Kinect sensor, but do not require them. Child of Eden, a new title by Ubisoft, will be enjoyed better if one has a Kinect sensor but will allow those without the Kinect to play. Child of Eden is a shooter title that links together the gameplay with music and visuals, to make…

James River Plantation Sweet Tea Vodka

Sweet Tea Vodka is something that can be done well or poorly. It depends not only on the type of alcohol that is used (grain or actual vodka) but the tea base that is adopted. James River Plantation Sweet Tea Vodka is one of the few alcohol-infused sweet teas that are currently on the market that can be said to succeed. By including vodka that has been distilled five times,…

The Romantic Englishwoman (Blu-Ray)

Kino continues to impress with their Blu-Ray releases in 2011. The Romantic Englishwoman is a film that has been relegated to the dustbin of history, but represents an impressive title that should be sought out by anyone that is a fan of seventies cinema, Michael Caine, or of comedies of errors. The Romantic Englishwoman surrounds a couple; Lewis (Michael Caine) and Elizabeth (Glenda Jackson) are visited by a German named…

The Strength Training Anatomy Workout (Book)

The problem with a great many workout magazines is that they do not have nearly enough space to discuss the different muscle groups that are worked out in a regimen. Furthermore, they do not provide readers with the logic behind any of the workouts that they show. The Strength Training Anatomy Workout, the current release by Frederic Delavier and Michael Gundill, do this in the title’s 256 pages. The book…

Detroit 874 (Pants)

It seems that pants are not made to last. They may be able to stay together over the course of a year, but they will lose a button, tear, or otherwise become unwearable. However, we received a pair of pants in Dickies’ Detroit 874 that should seriously be considered by anyone that wants a well-made yet fashionable pair. With all the talk of American-made, I believe that few actually know…

The 39 Steps (DVD)

The 39 Steps is a fantastic bit of cinema from deep in the VCI vault; this 1959 film features Kenneth More and Taina Elg and is a recreation of the 1935 Hitchcock thriller, which itself was based on a spy novel by John Buchan. The film starts out with Richard Hannay (More) attempting to save a woman nearly killed by a driver. After realizing that things are not exactly as…
