"Wrecking ball is Bruce springsteen's angry response to the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and the recession that had hit the U.S. and the rest of the world.

"I am one of a few who enjoys the later Genesis as much as the earlier Genesis. I really like this album, it has quite a typical eighties feel about it. The opening track has a very simple sequencedsynth bass line which was a foundation for many eighties bands, so you can't blame the boys for embr..." [+] Reply

"I just want to say that the third part of this, Cantabile semplice, is one of the best pieces of music that I have heard." Reply
"Oh, I love that guitar and bass aesthetic...what a sleepy, dream atmosphere. London’s voice lilting over top is divine. Nice studio technique shown here too, such as the vocals in the codas to both “Cry Me A River” and “I Love You”." Reply

"This album is a masterclass on being able to balance laid back yet effective cool jazz/bop sounds with out of this world experimental jazz. Some mesmerizing moments on here, but some 'less is more' memorable hooks as well. What a brilliantly layered record." Reply

"Another masterclass in mood, tension, orchestration and drama from the great Canadian band - and a fantastic title for the victims of genocide in Gaza. Free Palestine." Reply

"The standout classic album by Sananda Maitreya in his former shape and with his former name. It does not sound as good now as it did when first released. The quality of the singles (T2, T5 & T9) stand out from the othet tracks. T9 was the masterpiece and swansong(? )of a potentially great Contemp..." [+] Reply

"One of the most underrated female artists ever. Judee Sill is sadly no longer with us, but she released two excellent solo records that are criminally overlooked. Featuring stunning songs such, Jesus was a crossmaker, my man on love, and, crayon angels, this album is up there with what Joni Mitch..." [+] Reply
