So many prog bands seem to either choose to follow the path of older groups like Yes and Genesis or go with the trend of harder-edged prog along the lines of Dream Theater. It is refreshing to find an outfit that combines the two elements into a sound that both pays homage to those genres and forges its own path. Under the Sun is one such band, and their debut disc is truly one of the finest of the year 2000. Much of the album has the hard-edged, almost prog-metal elements that encompass the Dream Theater side of the genre. However, many of the pieces, or at least sections of them, are firmly rooted in the older, less crunchy prog modes. This Canadian band (composed of Chris Shryack, Kurt Barabas, Matt Evidon, and Paul Shkut) touches on the sounds of such artists as Yes, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Rush, Queensryche, and Kansas. All of these leanings are blended into a mixture that is exciting and original. This combination really creates a very listenable approach that calls to mind those various groups while still following Under the Sun's own unique musical path. ~ Gary Hill

Under The Sun album
 $13.09   
With most contemporary country artists, you could guarantee that a song called "American Ride" would be a slice of jingoism, but Toby Keith isn't like most country singers. His "American Ride" casts a cynical eye at desperate housewives and wannabe pop stars, not celebrating down-home values but wondering where we're all headed on this American Ride at the end of the 2000s, a sentiment not all that far removed from some of Keith's previous social commentary, which makes it a mild surprise that it is the only song here that doesn't come from his own pen. As superb and striking as it is, it's not necessarily a good keystone for the rest of the record, which does have a few tougher numbers that pick up on the lean, mean vibe of 2008's THAT DON'T MAKE ME A BAD GUY -- "Every Dog Has Its Day," the sly "If I Had One," and the heavy blues stomp "Loaded" -- but spends more time on the softer side, even when he kicks up a bit of dust on the dancefloor on "You Can't Read My Mind" or does a funny, respectful salute to military life on "Ballad of Balad." In other words, the real touchstone for the rest of the record is "Tender as I Wanna Be," where he lets his guard down and lets the romance flow. This doesn't turn AMERICAN RIDE into a schizophrenic jumble, as Keith has always balanced these two extremes, but after spending a little bit more time swaggering than wooing, he's back to crooning and it's amiable and appealing.

| | Nile Those Whom The Gods Detest CD (2009)
Under The Sun CD music
$13.85
It's hard to not be impressed by the sheer sonic onslaught that is otherwise known as Nile. Except to the most hardened death metal fanatic, the genre has a way of sounding the same after a while, but Nile is one of the few exceptions -- able to put their own unmistakable fingerprints on this heavy duty style (Egyptian-influenced lyrics and musical bits, highly impressive instrumental dexterity, etc.). And on their sixth studio effort overall, 2009's Those Whom the Gods Detest, Nile has once again proven that they are a step ahead of the rest of the pack. Although some of the sonic depth has to be attributed to producer Neil Kernon (after all, he worked with such sticklers for audio perfection as Queensr˙che in the past), it's the true metallic fury that Nile create themselves that makes it all extremely impressive. Case in point, such delicious death metal ditties as "Kafir!," while on selections such as the title track and what's sure to be top metal song title of 2009, "Yezd Desert Ghul Ritual in the Abandoned Towers of Silence," Karl Sanders shows why he is considered by many to be the finest guitarist of the extreme metal genre (both songs ...

In this rare and ground breaking performance, hugely popular heavy metal band Metallica is accompanied by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra with Michael Kamen conducting. The pairing of the full and lush-sounding symphony with the guitar-driven virtuosity works well, giving way for a deeper, more subtle appreciation of Metallica's well-constructed, impressively written music.

| | Black Sabbath Master Of Reality CD (1971)
Under The Sun CD music
$8.69
The album's opening track, "Sweet Leaf," a salute to one of the band's favorite smokeable substances, contains one of metal's heaviest guitar riffs, courtesy of Tony Iommi. Another eternal band favorite is the grim, post-nuclear war tale "Children of the Grave." Vocalist Ozzy Osbourne is in fine voice on "After Forever" and "Lord of this World," while the more tranquil "Solitude" and the instrumental Iommi compositions "Embryo" and "Orchid" offer a bit of variety. Though not quite as influential as PARANOID, MASTER OF REALITY remains one of heavy metal's founding gems.
While other frontrunners of hard rock/metal like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple ...
| | Moxy II CD (1976) (Import) Canada
Under The Sun music CDs
$15.25
The debut self-titled album released by Canadian rockers Moxy in 1975 became an instant hit for the band, especially in America. In an effort to cash in on that success, the band immediately recorded a follow-up in 1976 simply titled Moxy II. This time the album was recorded in Toronto with Jack Douglas producing. While not as strong musically as the debut, the album contained nine songs written by the band members and was almost a carbon copy of the previous effort except that ...

| | Bon Jovi Cross Road: 14 Classic Grooves CD (1994) (Import) Bonus Track; England; Remastered; Enhanced CD; Argentina
Under The Sun album
$15.75
Bon Jovi finally offers CROSS ROAD, a collection of their best songs plus two recent compositions and a new version of a classic. Fans and first-timers alike will delight in and sing along with this choice blend of hard pop and edgy anthems.
"Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" and "Always" continue the Bon Jovi tradition of gritty love songs and rock poetry. Jon Bon Jovi's coarse yet smoothe vocals reach out and paint images of characters caught in an American scenic painting, "gotta live my life like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice" Jon Bon Jovi claims in one song. With "Prayer '94" the band offers a toned-down version of "Livin' On A Prayer" which through its subdued, semi-acoustic ...
