Hammerfall Glory To The Brave CD (1997) Deluxe Edition

Spectre Within album

$13.49

Glory to the Brave is indeed a classic power metal record -- no frills or progressive elements here, just speed-laden, melodic, grandiose anthems about honor, glory, and slaying dragons. And the group manages to generally steer clear of the campiness that plagued bands like Manowar. Of note are the pro-Crusades lyrics of "Steel Meets Steel," atypical sentiments in a genre known for rebelling against religion. Overall this stuff isn't new or groundbreaking, but it's performed passionately enough that you'd think you were starting to experience the New Wave of British Heavy Metal the first time around. Hammerfall also gets points for covering Warlord's long-lost classic "Child of the Damned." ~ Bryan Reesman 1998 album featuring the title cut, which doubles as the first single extracted from it. Nine tracks total, all sure to please fans of old school metal bands ...

Fates Warning Awaken The Guardian CD (1986)

Spectre Within CD music

$17.45

Still singing about witches and devils, Fates Warning remained a metal band despite claims that this was their first progressive recording. Their aggressive sound remains from the first two efforts, and the song structures are too rudimentary to be called progressive. From this session one classic did emerge, "Guardian," a song that is still requested at their live shows. Progressive fans can skip this one too; however, ...

Fates Warning No Exit CD (1988)

Spectre Within music CDs

$9.85

Usually regarded as the finest release from Fates Warning's early years, when their progressive leanings were tempered with no small amount of classic metal riffing, No Exit is a typically difficult album to come to grips with. As was often the case on prior releases, the band has a hard time reconciling its ruthless experimentation with the need to construct coherent songs, leading to any number of awkward passages in which melodies and riffs are recklessly spliced together. Still, the album is another step forward, and tracks like "Anarchy Divine," "Shades of Heavenly Death," and "In a Word" rank among the best of their career thus far. Side two is entirely taken by the daunting "The Ivory Gate of Dreams," ...

Fates Warning Perfect Symmetry CD (1989)

Spectre Within songs

$9.69

This was the recording that established Fates Warning as a progressive band. Their metal influences still dominate the group's overall sound; however, Mark Zonder's unique approach to drumming adds another level of depth and credibility to the music. His double bass, odd-time introduction to "Part of the Machine" is the session's defining moment, "Through Different Eyes" is a catchy song that provides insight into the band's future pop/metal direction, and "Static Acts" still stands as one of the most aggressive songs the band ever recorded. Ray Alder's aggressive singing has a genuine quality which allows him to legitimately convey his anger and pain without sounding clichéd. "A World Apart" is one of the weaker songs here; however, there is some impressive odd-metered drumming from Zonder. "At Fates Hands" has become one of the band's classic songs, and for good reason. The incorporation of the violin and piano provide a refreshing change from the overall metallic sound. While Alder and Zonder prove here that the band is capable of achieving many different moods and sounds, the instrumental section of the song reveals that both Jim Matheos and Frank Aresti are still dependent on their metal guitar style. The most powerful song in terms of lyrics, singing, ...

Fates Warning Night On Brocken CD (1984)

Spectre Within album

$9.69
A very humble beginning for this excellent progressive band. Only a couple years removed from high school, they were strictly a metal band at this point, and "Damnation" is the only song that has remained in their catalog from this session. Early recordings such as this one are the reason their name conjures up the image of a metal band. [The 2003 re-release contains a 1984 demo version of "Last Call," a live rendition of "Kiss of Death," and rehearsal recordings of "The Calling" and Iron Maiden's "Flight of Icarus."] ~ Robert Taylor A very humble beginning for this excellent progressive band.

NATIVE SENSE (THE NEW DUETS) was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group. "Rhumbata" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo. Composition and improvisation merge in a special way in the duets of Chick Corea and Gary Burton. Their association is long-standing, and here they work their magic on a new set of music, all composed by Chick Corea with the exception of Bartok's "Bagatelles #6, #2, and #3" and Thelonius Monk's "Four in One". There's a bridge between classical music and jazz which ...
