After an appearance at Underage under their belts and several mentions in Kerrang et al, it seems that the time is right for the St Albans-based 6-piece to adorn the walls of teenagers and desktops of business women and men everywhere. Hold fire though – I think it might take a bit longer before world domination kicks in. This is NOT a great single to my ears, it’s just OK.

A selection of remixes greets the buyer, all seem to sound the same as each other and I remain unconvinced that they are needed at all. C.R.A.S.H. do the best job on what is a fairly ordinary song, turning it into a full-on 8-minute clubathon that sounds a tad like Chicks On Speed…well, until the singing kicks in. The Josh Go Audio version sounds like Alphabeat and we need another cheesy squeezy keyboard-sound like we need a lawnmower on a motorway during the holiday season.

I don’t know – is it me or does everything sound the same at the moment? This isn’t a bad record, sorry kids, download, but it just doesn’t have any heart and soul, any passion or anything other than a tiny bit of strop and roll about it. The download bundle features a free poster – oh joy.

Review From: http://www.allgigs.co.uk/view/review/4015/Saving_Aimee_Were_The_Good_Guys_Single_Review.html

Without the knob-twiddling magic worked by production wiz John Leckie, The Stone Roses’ debut – 20 years old this year – would have been fronted by a voice more likely to attract whales than lead the UK’s youth in baggy delirium. But the punk fan that dwells in Ian Brown, the one that told him to pay titular tribute to Sid Vicious’ reimagining of Sinatra’s classic on his latest album, persevered and he’s had a career more fruitful than his wailing on those early Roses demos forecasted.

The secret is distilled perfectly on Brown’s sixth solo outing. Understanding the limits of his larynx, each of his albums has shuffled along in the same deep timbre, with just little shimmies keeping him from sounding monotonous. In fact, managing with so little, Brown’s is a voice that’s sweetly empathetic and triumphant, the thing that inspired Gallagher, Ashcroft and other daydreaming prole kids.

Of course, it’s Brown’s self-belief that makes this work. It’s what took him from skinning cow tongues in a factory at 16 to making grown men go all gooey, and it’s what paints his every song: the conviction that he’s here for his People. Whether he’s boasting about himself, like on album closer So High, or imparting his unique brand of wisdom, it’s a cold heart that doesn’t root for the man.

As an urban mystic who sees “tangerine suns” in our cities’ skies, Brown’s present stock-in-trade is marrying a hard-knock life with cosmic conspiracies. True, some of this is naff, like his obsession with bombs falling in the East (we get it, Ian) and Own Brain, which sees him constructing a song around “an anagram of my own name”.

But overall My Way is Brown’s finest since 1998’s solo bow, Unfinished Monkey Business. From the minimal, rising scales of Stellify to the pumping baggy disco of Just Like You, blissed-out anthem Always Remember Me and the mariachi activism of In the Year 2525, this is Brown at his uplifting, groovesome best. And when he sings there are “miles and miles still left to come” on Marathon Man, it’s actually quite reassuring.

CriticsNest / Music-Critic.com’s Top Ten Hip-Hop Albums of 2000.

Number 10en
Deltron 3030 – Deltron 3030

Del, Kid Koala and Dan the Automator. Hard to explain. Even harder to stop listening to. Just an album you have to hear for yourself.

Number 9ine
Lyricist Lounge Vol. 2

Rawkus continues to feel what is going on in the underground as they put together yet another knockout compilation of unreleased material.

Number 8ight:
Tony Touch – The Piece Maker

Somehow overlooked in the Latin hip-hop community in past years, Tony Touch blazes on this album featuring guest artists that would make any hip-hop junkie drool.

Number 7even:
Blackalicious – Nia

The Gift of Gab’s long-awaited full-length after the promising EP, delivers on every track with beats ranging from organic to old-school feels and Nia interludes in between.

Number 6ix:
Del the Funky Homosapien – Both Sides of the Brain

The most prolific member of Hieroglyphics returns with another chapter from the Del library. Like the previous releases, it’s unlike anything else he’s put out before and definitely warrants a listen.

Number 5ive:
Dilated Peoples – The Platform

On the east coast, the Dilated Peoples have found what has always made the NYC underground scene so impressive. Minimal beats. Simple samples. Incredible rhymes. Enough said.

Number 4our:
Jurassic 5 – Quality Control

Perhaps the saviors of the west coast rap scene as the rest continue to make updated variations of "Nuthin’ But a G’ Thang," nowhere else can you find this much talent collected in one group, while being collective enough on one train of thought to pass the line quicker than you can blink.

Number 3hree:
Common (Sense) – Like Water for Chocolate

The king of Windy City hip-hop returns with an impressive collection of tracks ranging from club-ready beats to memoirs on neglected members of our recent history.

Number 2wo:
Outkast – Stankonia

Outkast has always been at the cutting edge of hip-hop, but with Stankonia they turned it on its head with their techno-jungle-rock beats and always fresh rhymes.

Number 1ne:
Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek – Reflection Eternal

The second half of Black Star has arrived with a solo project that makes a strong statement that there is no weaker half of the duo. Filled with inventive beats and inciteful rhymes, the album is a must-have.

Until next year then… may the new millenium put the old to shame.

When I bought this CD I was only familiar with the tracks "Children" and "Fable", but since I quite liked them, I decided to buy this album.

Although not exactly a bad choice, I was a bit disappointed. The problem with the tracks is that they all use the same elements: same piano, same strings, same synths… even the drums and bass sound almost the same. I know these elements more or less define the "dream house" sound Robert Miles was known for at the time of this release, and while the tracks themselves aren’t bad or anything, it’s just that a whole CD of the stuff gets quite boring.

The upside of having the tracks sound so alike is that the album has a very consistent dreamy/chilled atmosphere. The cheesy poppy vocals on "One & One" kind of break the atmosphere though. "Red Zone" deserves to mentioned too, since this is the only track on the album that doesn’t use the piano-sound used in the other tracks, and has a bit of a proggy trance mood. Yet still it blends in nicely with rest of the tracks, which sort of proves that Miles didn’t need to fill the disk with 10 clones of "Children".

2009 album from the acclaimed British vocalist and former member of Japan. David Sylvian is a man apart. In a thirty-year career that spans the New Romantic movement, ambient works and Progressive Rock, and mature and esoteric Pop, Sylvian has tested popular styles and bent them to his own vision.

On Manafon, Sylvian pursues "a completely modern kind of chamber music. Intimate, dynamic, emotive, democratic, economical." In sessions in London, Vienna, and Tokyo, Sylvian assembled the world’s leading improvisers and innovators, artists who explore free improvisation, space-specific performance, and live electronics.

From Evan Parker and Keith Rowe, to Fennesz and members of Polwechsel, to Sachiko M and Otomo Yoshihide, the musicians provide both a backdrop and a counterweight to his own vocal performances.

Back in the 70’s Ace Frehley posters could be found on the walls of budding guitar players worldwide. Fast-forward to 2009 and much of today’s youth probably A) does not know much about Frehley or B) doesn’t care (it has been 20 years since his last full-length solo album!!!).

Well Ace, The Metal Show cares and is rooting for you to put out one of the best albums of your career. OK, so that might be a tough thing to do, but at least something that is not too cliche and cheesy in today’s world.

Frehley did say he was looking towards his first solo album outside of Kiss (1978’s Ace Frehley) for inspiration. If he can write a song that even comes close to Snow Blind I will be satisfied.

For those of you who don’t follow the lives of Kiss members as extensively as your host Randy, Frehley’s new album is titled Anomaly and is supposedly coming out this Spring. He designed a new promotional site and the album cover which you can check out below.

Both give off a little bit of a cheesy old-school rocker feel, but at the same time the album cover has grown on me and is a simple retro 90’s looking Web site really that terrible?

Here’s to Frehley releasing an album that is fun, energetic and rockin’ in 2009, even if he isn’t trashed out of his mind.

Somebody fetch Jay-Z some smelling salts, a Starbucks gift card, a midlife crisis — anything to knock him out of the stupor he has settled into on "The Blueprint 3."

The rap icon’s 11th album is the first full-scale disaster of his career, a collection devoid of the mega-jams we expect from hip-hop’s undisputed alpha male. Instead, we suffer lyrics that suggest a new credo: Shrug that dirt off your shoulder.

The rap game? He’s over it. Hip-Hop next generation? Yawn. The haters? Pffft. They say it’s lonely at the top, but for Jay-Z, it’s just incredibly boring. After 13 years of thrilling auto-hagiography, the man sounds fed up not only with hip-hop but with himself. How can he expect us not to agree?

Lukewarmth ensues immediately with "What We Talkin’ About," an album opener that hints at early-onset dementia. "I don’t run rap no more, I run the map," the veteran declares. Moments later, "I don’t run rap no more, I run the map." Have we just witnessed Jay’s first senior moment? Hard to say whether the slippage is due to laziness, carelessness or senility, but it’s certainly a far cry from the dexterous salvos that usually launch a Jay-Z album.

The rest of "Blueprint 3" follows suit, pairing bromidic couplets with swatches of keyboard piffle — save for "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)," a lead single that finds Jay bemoaning those pesky R&B whippersnappers and their zany pitch-correction software.

"This is anti-Auto-Tune, death of the ring tone," he groans, humbugging over a scratchy boom-boom-bap. "This ain’t for iTunes, this ain’t for singalongs." No kidding.

Such grumpy old mannerisms raise the question: Can hip-hop age gracefully? Without becoming boring or bitter? No living artist embodies the art form quite like Jay-Z, and with his 40th birthday fast approaching, the rap world is looking to him for life lessons from the other side of the hill. Instead, Jay chooses to define wisdom merely as the opposite of youth. Over the irritating clatter of "On to the Next One," he explains, "No, I’m not a Jonas brother, I’m a grown-up." (Glad he cleared that one up.)

This isn’t his first stumble: 2006′s "Kingdom Come" hinted at Jay-Z as an older, wiser (and more tepid) rap star, but the album still had a pocketful of tunes capable of rattling your speakers and raising your pulse. The only thing resembling that kind of excitement on "The Blueprint 3" is "Off That" — a whizzing Timbaland track that could have been unearthed from the back of Nelly Furtado’s freezer and reheated with a hook from Drake, hip-hop’s incumbent cutie pie.

"Whatever you’re about to discover, we off that," the heartthrob sings, pantomiming the ethos of his grouchy paymaster as best he can. Meanwhile, Jay summons the energy to lob a few spitballs at Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, before resorting to contempt for the wannabes. "If you’re driving it, I drove it," he taunts, halfheartedly. "You got it, cos’ I sold it."

It feels like a shoulder shrug at 111 beats per minute — and don’t mistake it for dancing. He’s off that, too.

Product Features

• includes Torq LE software and X-Session Pro control surface
• mix two songs with independent control of speed and pitch
• automatic beat-detection and synchronization for effortless beat-matching
• full-featured mixer with 3-band EQ, headphone cueing and crossfader
• 3 audio effects for each song: filter, phaser and strobe

First off I was a huge fan of Trance music and I really wanted to get into mixing and making my own cd’s.

However, I had no idea where to start and how much money it was going to cost. After months of research I came across this beauty. The M-audio Mixlab was the best thing I could have purchased with my experience mixing (little to none) and my budget (fairly low).

The software that it comes with (Torq LE) is a slimmed down version of the real thing but for where I was it was perfect. The mixer is also a slimmed down version of bigger, more complicated hardware. However, dont let the look of it throw you off, it has everything you need to get started and much more. This whole set is perfect for if you want to learn (or even just see if you want to get deeper into Djing)

Note: I had to buy a new audio interface (Numark DJ Io) and a pair of monitor speakers (M-audio audiophile Av 30) to fully appreciate what I could do. If you have a one channel soundcard on your PC then you wont be able to cue you mixes. It applies to every other dj equipment you may buy
