Summoning Stronghold Songs Stronghold Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  great atmospheric black metal
I did hear about this band for a long time but its availability as import only (expensive!) kept me away. With this US released album I finally had the oportunity to experience what the hipe was all about and it is damn good!!.
A very atypical black metal with a lot of atmospheric synths and programed drums. My best description would be atmospheric goth black metal, evocating eroic fantasy-like landscapes: snowy mountain tops, foggy swap lakes, cold star studded skies....you got the image.
A very nice album and a fairly smooth listening. But don't get me wrong, this is no New-Age crap, this is still black metal!
I hope the other albums will be availble soon.

This will make you want to fly, at will, over rolling hills and sharp snowy peaks, searching for the truth about life and hoping for the downfall of ALL religions!!

Sixteen tracks from Duran Duran mastermind Stephen Duffy, whose solo career has achieved an intense cult following, are collected here, including "icing On The Cake," the popular hit "Kiss Me," and "A Lot Of Ink."
As a recap of Stephen Duffy's pre-Lilac Time career, They Called Him Tin Tin performs a valuable service. The two mid-'80s Duffy albums that most of these 16 tracks are drawn from -- The Ups and Downs and Because We Love You -- have become hard to find, and both were filled with smart, exquisitely crafted pop that overall deserved a much better fate in the charts and at the hands of critics. The biggest successes are here, of course: a 1983 remix of the bubblegum dance smash "Kiss Me" is included, as well as the better-known 1985 version, and lesser hits like "Icing on the Cake" and "Unkiss That Kiss" make deserved appearances. But good as Duffy's singles were, album tracks like the dramatic, soulful "When You Go to Bed" and the jazzily strummed character study "Wednesday Jones" showed he had roots that reached beyond current chart fare -- a side of his writing that would get more attention in the folky Lilac Time. They Called Him Tin Tin isn't a perfect collection -- while the funky B-side "Love Is Driving Me Insane" was an inspired choice, three tracks from Duffy's electronic side project, Dr. Calculus, seem a bit much, especially in light of the many Duffy leftovers still unavailable on CD (like the early hit "Hold It" or the "Kiss Me" flip side "In This Twilight," to name just a couple). Those who like what they hear on this compilation will probably find it worthwhile to track down the two original ...

It's a product of its time, and it wanted nothing more than to be seen as such -- the credits list for the album names every last sample source, ranging from Prince and Sonic Youth to Apocalypse Now and the news and views of 1988 and 1989. But it's the breadth which makes Liquidizer a thrilling experience, even if the ...

OK COMPUTER was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and won the 1998 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.
OK COMPUTER, Radiohead's third album, is the bombastic follow-up to 1995's sleeper hit THE BENDS, which left critics and listeners as impressed with the band's ability as they were curious about their potential. In spite of its technological-sounding title and apocalyptic sci-fi themes, OK COMPUTER is firmly grounded in the rock verities. Waves of guitars rage beneath the haunting melodies and near-hysterical fits of singer Thom Yorke. This complex, intense swarm of guitars is held aloft by a solid, inventive rhythm section and an impressive array of piano and keyboard textures.
"Paranoid Android" is a six-minute-plus epic with alternating time signatures, wild dynamic shifts, drama and adrenaline to spare. "Let Down," with its double-tracked vocals and rhythmic throb, may give a brief glimpse back at Radiohead's past, but at no point is OK COMPUTER anything but a hurtle forward.
With the exception of Nirvana's Nevermind, no rock of the '90s is as widely accepted as a masterpiece as Radiohead's 1997 OK Computer, and even partisans of Nirvana would have to acknowledge that OK Computer creates its own universe in a way that Nevermind does not. This makes it a bit of a tricky candidate for a deluxe reissue like this 2009 double-disc set: it's nice to have it enhanced with all the released B-sides from the "Paranoid Android," "Karma Police," and "No Surprises" singles, along with three BBC sessions, but it's not necessary. A large part of this is because all of the great songs from the sessions wound up on the album proper. While some of the non-LP B-sides here are quite good -- particularly "Pearly," "Melatonin," "Meeting in the Aisle," and "How I Made My Millions" -- they're not a patch on what is on the album; they're a nice addition, but they don't enhance the album and that is true of the live cuts here, ...
