... Jays early stuff, starting in the 1954-6 period. It is a two CD, 34 song afair and it spans the whole gamult of his style and back catalogue. If you like blues as it should be (Not the egotistical poncing about stuff) with influences from big band, then there is more than enuff to keep you happy. This cd tends to get played at least twice a week, and has done for the last 10 months.

Screamin Jay (Jalacy) Hawkins was a true musical Showman. On and off the stage, as his 57 plus children and 4 (or so) Marriages go to proove. I would guess that 75% of the popular music buying population own his biggest hit, and dont even know it - the much covered 'I PUT A SPELL ON YOU'. He has covered a couple (or more) Tom Waits songs (Frenzy, Heart attack & Vine) and been in a few Jim Jaramush (?) movies (Desk clerk in, er..mystery train or whatever it was called) But most people dont realise its a voodoo inspired drunken, love-torn rant from a womanising ex Champian Boxer!

It was the best album from Queen to that date, still incorporating a seventies rock sound

The track, 'Machines' feels out of place here.

Tome VI - Ange
Talented French symphonic prog, for fans of early Genesis. Hard for newcomers to appreciate.

The Klaxon - And Also The Trees
Compellingly miserable with plenty of lighter moments. Repetitive sound after a while.

Kurr - Amiina
Interesting and highly lucid classical performance with a strong atmosphere. Lacking.

Saltbreakers - Laura Veirs
Unusual, intelligent songs; nice combination of genres; musicianship Sometimes annoying juvenilia style lyrics; some weak tracks

Redemption Process - Anorexia Nervosa
Standard symphonic black metal with a more melodic flair. No songs really stand out.

Evermind - Amethystium
Relaxing and eclectic ambience. Only suited for relaxation or background music, otherwise soon becomes repetitive and dull.

Disturbing The Peace - Alcatrazz
Something for Steve Vai completists. Pointlessly below average hair metal.

Intorno alla mia cattiva educazione - Alusa Fallax
A grand, detailed and eloquent progressive symphony. Necessarily patchy and uneven, with some experiments being more successful than others.

Angel Witch - Angel Witch
Classic heavy metal. Endless, tedious comparisons to other bands are inevitable.

Angels Of Venice - Angels Of Venice
Approachable and entertaining neoclassical music. Too much reliance on obvious cover songs.
