reviews

earthsuit - kaleidoscope superior (tech reggae) this came from where? Nashville, you say? I hate tennessee rock, but this.... this is extraordinary. this is an album that needs the high production quality. this album rocks, aggressive rap reggea to smooth kick back, chill out reggae - from front to back - it kicks. (ryno)

philmore - philmore (80's flavor melodic punk) this is an album you can quickly fall in love with. fun power rock style punk, very tasty. catchy, fast tunes reminiscent of early ghoti hook. a favorite in my collection - breakout your mirrored aviators and your acid-wash jeans) (ryno)

john reuben - are we there yet (ohio rap) this is original....clean, funky, very fresh. do not tell me what I can, or can not, review! I love this album. It's so much fun hearing this guy bust! break them off something, john! (ryno)

past reviews

Speakeasy - Stavesacre - (modern rock) - If I could describe Stavesacre in a word…Fluid. The first song sets the mood for an emotional ride through audio bliss. This album screams power, freedom, and change. Sometimes, I plug this album in just to ease myself into a state of awe. (Ryno)

Outer Circle - Outer Circle (punk) - A beautiful return to the roots. I think Mark turned a few heads with this release. Every tune on this album feels like plot twist in a mystery novel. It keeps the listener focused. A fresh, energetic post pop punk explosion. (Ryno)

Misguided - Argyle Park (hard tech) - This is a collaboration by many artists including King Salomon, a.k.a…. While Mark only did two songs on the album, Head screw and Gutter boy, I felt it worth mentioning because this was another great facet of his work. It also shows his versatility. (Ryno)

hard to find, but well worth the effort. Craig's Brother - (punk) you will not find this in stock at any Family Christian Book Store - you will need to order it. it was pulled from the shelves because the word "breast" is used in a song dealing with lust. this album is awesome. clean, catchy melodies. fast guitar licks. killer production. a must have for melodic punk fans. (Ryno)

this is relatively easy to find - all together separate - (punk) this one tends to be mellow. the vocals are explosive. the bass is a tight low smooth trip. and the guitar and drums are beautifully clear and crisp. phenomenal recording, great tunes. we had the pleasure of playing with these guys in late 96 here in vegas. (ryno)

dirt -Plague - (rap) a rare bread of rapper - the ODB of Christian music, without the "B." a style similar to an unkept room. a little bit of laid-back lyrics all over the place. gorgeous beats and a holy spirit fire that explodes from his lips. very hard to find. we played with dirt at the monterey Ca. back in 98. (ryno)

leader dogs far the blind - lemonade - (heavy tech) this is the grail of heavy tech. NiNish Christian listeners don't get me wrong, anyone who enjoys a phat CRUNCHY GUITAR SMACK IN THE FACE WILL LOVE THIS. but beware, the cd comes with a curse. your "friends" always wind-up with it. do not let it out of your sight. do not lend it out. burn copies for your friends; keep the org. locked in a safe when not in use. hey, cody from ICLV - I want mine back!! (ryno)

"nothing says "I love you" like punk rock" - a collection of 20 differesnt artists (punk) - creamy - nicely put together. with such greats as "upperhand," "jesse and the rockets," "watashi wa" how could you go wrong? if you are looking for a collections of songs to east pasta over, this is a good start. (john)

one 21 "in the year king uzziah died" (punk) - this is a good little cd - next time more boys, please more. my personal fav, "jehovah is strength - short, sweet and very simple - right in line with my mind. (john)

Thousand Foot Krutch "Set It Off" (ALTERNATIVE) - Clean, melodic funk bubbling up with catchy drum licks, tasty guitar melodies and a vocal collection of post-pop aggressive whine - very cool.... kinda bizkit-esque, less limp - more pimp - has a great remake of "unbelievable." (Ryno)

Knowdaverbs - "The Action Figure" (RAP) - Sweeeet - Every track reeks of God given talent. Personal favorites include - "Plane Scared," "If I were Mayor" and "Me and My Mic, Stu and His Fish" - In a day when people are saying nothing on one of the most influential platforms known, it's refreshing to see that someone out there is saying something worth listening to. Rock on "Verbs." (Ryno)
