MOONMADNESS, the album from Camel, returns in this remastered rerelease.
Abandoning the lovely soundscapes of Snow Goose, Camel delved into layered guitar and synthesizers similar to those of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here on the impressive Moonmadness. Part of the reason behind the shift in musical direction was the label's insistence that Camel venture into more commercial territory after the experimental Snow Goose, and it is true that the music on Moonmadness is more akin to traditional English progressive rock, even though it does occasionally dip into jazz-fusion territory with syncopated rhythms and shimmering keyboards. Furthermore, the songs are a little more concise and accessible than those of its predecessor. That doesn't mean Camel has abandoned art. Moonmadness is indeed a concept album, based loosely on the personalities of each member -- "Chord Change" is Peter Bardens, "Air Born" is Andy Latimer, "Lunar Sea" is Andy Ward and "Another Night" is Doug Ferguson. Certainly, it's a concept that is considerably less defined than that of Snow Goose, and the music isn't quite as challenging, yet that doesn't mean that Moonmadness is devoid of pleasure. In fact, with its long stretches of atmospheric instrumentals and spacy solos, it's quite rewarding. ~ Daevid Jehnzen

Moonmadness Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Not what I expected...
This version (Remastered..???) of Camel's masterful album "Moonmadness" is not at all the same as the original vinyl version... Somewhat of a disapointment, so although I did listen to the entire CD, I didn't really give it the chance to "grow" on me, as the other Camel albums have in the past. This version of "Another Night", in some ways, is actually a bummer, I played it for my wife who had never even heard of Camel, and was actually somewhat embarassed. Maybe it was just me...

 Serve with large spliff!!
This is the last Camel album to feature
the original lineup of Latimer, Bardens,
Ward, and Ferguson. Probably the best album they ever made. Every song is a pleasure For the ears. One of the essential prog albums of the 70's without a doubt.

MAKE IT BETTER is the third album by British dance-pop trio Dubstar, featuring "Take It" and "The Self Same Thing."
The third time out for indie pop's dance-lite cover perverts has Dubstar refining their cotton-candy, melodic smacks with a higher sense of carbonated cheerfulness that should please fans not expecting all that much. The good news is that Steve Hillier and Chris Wilkie turn down the more string-heavy arrangements of old and a newborn sound of crunching guitars and rough beats certainly helps resuscitate the band from "poor man's St. Etienne" injuries. The bad news is that the band still sounds like they never stopped obsessing over the pop charts of 1985.
The opening triumvirate of "Take It," "I," and "The Self Same Thing" is a splendid return to form, full of escalating siren smirks and euphoric blasts of air. Yet the album quickly starts gasping for breath. Sarah Blackwood's overly coached voice takes center stage in a huge number of mid-tempo ballads that attempt to fiddle with pop star prancing and sexual come-ons with awful lyrics like, "I'm the one that you knew/Cos I'm no one/With a great set of moves/And I can move it with you." Worse, when the band tries to regain their opening rhythm, they sound like either a female-fronted, Stigmata-era EMF ("Arc of Fire") or Shampoo ("I'm Conscious of Myself"). To think Dubstar started their career covering the obscure end of the 4AD discography, ...

| | Andres Calamaro El Cantante CD (2004)
Moonmadness CD music
$12.19
When Cantante was released nobody was expecting that kind of move from Andrés Calamaro. Considering that his previous effort was El Salmon, a quintuple-disc with 105 songs, and that after that he gave away a similar amount of songs on the Internet; a covers album was not expected at all. The repertoire contains many Latin American classics, like "Voy a Perder la Cabeza por Tu Amor," "Volver," "El Cantante," "Algo Contigo" y "La Distancia."
It was recorded with the same personnel that played in Bebo & Cigala's Lágrimas Negras, and it also shares the same producer: Javier Limón. So there's a flamenco flavor through the album in songs that came from different genres and styles like tango, bolero, ballads, salsa and folklore. So musically, it also varies from Calamaro's previous albums worked from a more typical rock-band orientation. There are only three ...

From glimpses of the band on local London television in 1974, charging through stunning versions of "Rosalie" and "Its Only Money," through a 1976 Top of the Pops airing for "Don't Believe a Word," and on to a 1978 live version of "Bad Reputation," shot during the band's Australian tour, Inside Thin Lizzy ...
| | John Stoddart Sweet CD (2009)
Moonmadness album
$10.15
The artist who brought you 'Love so Real,' John Stoddart revisits his pianistic roots in this imaginative collection of timeless Hymns and Spirituals simply entitled, 'Sweet.' Exploring musical genres from Classical to Jazz and Worship to Ragtime, this instrumental offering is a reflection of moments that could only be shared between a father and child. During 'Daddy Time' John was inspired by these 'Sweet' moments with his own two daughters (you will hear them on Track 12!). This project is sure to please those music enthusiasts with a heart for new arrangements that maintain the integrity of the original song. This CD includes 12 tracks:- Sweet (Hour of Prayer)- Come (Thou Fount of Every Blessing)- Angels (Watchin' Over Me)- Tender (Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us)- Wounded (O Sacred Head, Now Wounded)- Love (Love Medley: O Perfect Love/Always/Jesus Lover of My Soul/ More Love to Thee- Mine (Blessed Assurance)- Soon (I Will Be Done)- Heal (There is a Balm in Gilead)- Friend (There's Not A Friend Like the Lowly Jesus)- So Sweet ('Tis So Sweet)- The GirlsPhiladelphia native, John Stoddart, is unquestionably one of the music industry's most notable young talents. An accomplished artist, composer, writer, composer and instrumentalist, John grew up in a musical family and was singing and playing the piano in church almost as soon as he could walk. He began formal training at the age of 13 and, in 1993, earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Piano and Voice from Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, Maryland. John started his own production company, Urban Junction East Music, in 1992 and his singing/producing/arranging/writing credits already include Celine Dion, Wintley Phipps, Sandi Patty, Boney James, Al Jarreau, Darin Atwater and the Soulful Symphony, Will Downing, Take 6, and Patti Austin, to name a few. His production collaborations with saxophonist Kirk Whalum, "Hymns, In the Garden" and 'The Christmas Message' (Top Drawer/Warner Bros. ) both garnered Grammy nominations for "Best Pop Instrumental Performance". His composition, 'I Still Believe' featuring ...
