Grinderman:

..Nick Cave has the "Midas Touch" with anything he turns his hands to, a very unique person who also inspires to bring the best out of his loyal accomplished musician friends, he never fails to please the listener in what he does and that's write and produce some of the best music around in my own opinion.Grinderman2.his lyrics are very john lennon-esk in places, If you like Nick Cave and the Bad seeds then you will be drawn to grinderman instantly...some of the best lyrics his done for years, which you don't get at first..they are like a magic eye picture..you don't see it at first..and then it hits you like a piledriver...go and give them a try.it'll be well worth the effort.

Enjoy.:)

Beautiful people-If 60's were 90's

Back in the late 90's some friends of mine dragged me along to see Hawkwind when i lived in London, and what a night it was to remember..the first backing band was called "Beautiful people", like most backing bands it's normally just a time filler to get the crowd in the mood for the main act, but what i witnessed, on that night was one of the best gigs i've ever been to..the lights went down and flashing lights & lazers burn't our eye balls out to a frazzle..then appeared a back drop with Jimi Hendrix on it,.followed by his voice & this amazing hendrix sounding guitar sound..i was totally blown away with this band..i thought to myself..they are sampling Hendrix guitar solo's but i was wrong it was this unknown little band who had a passion for Jimi Hendrix...i was that impressed by them, that i bought the album at the concert, after the gig..Hawkwind where excellent, but Beautiful People..stole the night for me..outstanding gig.

Tracklisting:

1.Comin' to get you.

2.Get your mind together.

3.If 60's were 90's.

4.Stone crazy.

5.Rilly groovy.

6.Happiness on the wind.

7.Sock it to me.

8.Feel the heat.

9.The sea...eventually.

this really is a excellent album, the band got permission from the Hendrix family to use the samples of his voice before recording the album...a hidden gem from the 90's which didn't get the credit it so rightly deserved.

enjoy.:)

Soulsavers:

let me start this posting by saying i haven't gave my blog much attention in 2010, it was only with the kind comments which i recently received on it, that has gave me a kick up the backside to add a few more of my faves before "Big ben" strikes it's charms and leads us into 2011...i shall commence.

Soulsavers where introduced to me 2 years ago by a friend, who told me to give them a try,well the outcome of the try will stay with me for a long, long, time..the music which they create is just astounding you've got passion, trip/hop, rock folk, soul jazz, mixed all together to create something that isn't just to make a fast couple of quid..but music of an arrangement of collaborative artists that will keep us the listener very happy for a long, long time.

You will be totally impressed by the amount of artists that contribute to this unit, do yourself a musical favour and give them a try. you'll be totally astounded by this band...

Enjoy.:)
