This live recording proves that Vanden Plas is not just a studio band. The group performs very potent and faithful renditions of songs from all of its albums, but the largest chunk of material is from the latest studio release Far Off Grace. Once again, Vanden Plas shows that, although it does have some strong Dream Theater leanings, the band's sound is all its own. And, it is a great sound rooted in progressive rock with major heavy metal influences. There are seemingly a million bands in that vein, but Vanden Plas is one of the better ones. It is good to get a glimpse of what the band sounds like in live performance. ~ Gary Hill Vanden Plas Spirit Of Live Songs | 1. | I Can See |

Spirit Of Live
 $18.25  
A Whiter Shade of Pale is the 2001 collection of Procol Harem's best-known songs. Not to be confused with their 1972 album of the same name, the album features 15 tracks that show one of the first bands to move in the direction of progressive rock. The track selection on the album is actually quite good, giving a nice representation of their best material. The title track is the shining standout, a classic pop song that has aged marvelously. The same cannot be said for all the material, as some of the music here is obviously stuck in the '70s. But those are only a few tracks, and the good songs here are really good. This is a great place to begin exploring Procol Harem's music; their brand of poppy progressive rock is not only appealing, but very important to rock's ...

"One of the local scene's brightest stars, Mr. Nourallah's songwriting seems to get sharper everyday. Nourallah has created a pop masterpiece in the vein of Elvis Costello and the Replacements" - Dallas Morning NewsThe inside credits of the Happiness Factor's "Avoid Danger" reads like a who's who of the Dallas, Texas music scene. Just to name a few who leant a helping hand to head honcho Salim Nourallah: Carter Albrecht (the Sparrows), John Dufilho (Deathray Davies), Danny Balis (Sorta), Steve Duncan (Chemistry Set), Jason Garner (Deathray Davies), Doug Cox (A Hard Night's Day) and Danny DeLaMatyr (the Days and Rhett Miller's Instigators). It was recorded over a two-week period right before Salim was about to disappear for months of touring with Rhett Miller and the Instigators. The premise was, as time was tight, a different group of Salim's super-friends would be invited over to his Pleasantry Lane studios every day. Songs that they'd never heard before would be thrown at them on the spot, learned as quickly as possible and then immediately recorded. Everything was done before any over-thinking could set in. From the opening chug of the Kinks-esque "In-Crowd" to the final sarcastic word of bonus track "Mr. Critic", this record explodes with the freshness of songs that were captured before they could be flogged to death by over-working. Check out the T-Rex meets "Come Together" crunch of "Insane ledger"; the Bowie/Pulp swagger of "Proper Channels"; "Weight of the World" and its stark Plastic Ono Band mantra; "The Man From the Filling Station" with its crazed 'Beatles on acid while roaming La Mancha' feel; "The Hand that Feeds" snotty-ska Clash/Costello workout. Clocking in at just over half an hour, "Avoid Danger" cuts to the chase and packs a mighty lyrical wallop.Happiness Factor has already had the pleasure of touring ...
