 (2 Customer Reviews)
Returning to the industrial/goth programming of Chris Brantley and the wraithlike electronic violins of Rachel McDonnell, the Crüxshadows' fifth full-length re-established the North Florida band's admired dark dance-pop intent. Fronted again by a traditional haunted monotone, the music was tenser than on earlier outings -- with a fuller approach -- and consequently a little more overbearing. Rogue's voice played up the callous seriousness of the band, but in a way that sounded well-rehearsed rather than born from believable personal misfortune. Standouts like the Top 20 European hit "Tears" were still strong -- a moody, shimmering thing of electro-house and stadium rock overkill, like an exclusively new wave Wall of Voodoo, and an unlocking of a whole new possible direction for the band. ~ Dean Carlson

Great cd, lots of emotional lyrics, backing up by wonderfully mesmeising music, more than what you expect from this great band

Wishfire is the best Cruxshadows album to date. It's beautiful industrial/goth music makes it a pleasure to listen to. Hits include: 'Tears', 'Return', 'Binary', 'Orpean Wing', and 'Spiral' Though the others tracks are superb as well. I highly recommend this album.

$23.29
As stated in many interviews and press releases, Mistaken Identity, the second release by Australian beauty Delta Goodrem, was fueled and inspired by a central event that occurred in the young star: her tumultuous battle with lymphoma and the struggles of remission. Therefore, it is without surprise that the second release by Goodrem is a much darker, introverted look at the pain and emotional issues handled in her life. Mistaken Identity, contrary to Goodrem's first release, Innocent Eyes, is a ballad-packed album with dramatic beats, moodier lyrics, and deeper meanings beneath the singer's icy pure vocals. The result is chilling, turning the Mandy Moore-esque tones on Goodrem's first release into haunting Celine Dion power ballads. In many cases, this transition works well. Goodrem's voice is very well suited to the adult contemporary market, and the spot-on delivery bodes well for her, since her public battle with cancer validates many of the tough topics tackled on this second release. However, since this is only Goodrem's second album, her need to be more artistically expressive at such a young age might tend to be written off as immature and vapid, particularly since words like "emotional suicide" don't fit with gorgeously talented 20-year-old starlets with enough pop potential to make up for all the schlock in the market. The album is an odd misstep in the sense that Goodrem falls far from the market that made her a pop star, and though the tunes on a song-by-song basis are probably equal on ...

Beth Ullman, Mady Kaye and Dianne Donovan are the ebullient Beat Divas. Three remarkable voices in tight harmony romp through American jazz and pop with a joie de vivre and vocal abandon rarely heard. Sexy, sassy and swingin', their repertoire includes original works, jazz standards and the best of American pop music jazzed up. From bebop to pop-gone-salsa, the song styling is totally refreshing. The Divas’ songs about food, which they include in their local cooking classes, are delicious and hilarious.Each singer has a successful solo performing career. Beth and Mady are teachers of voice. Dianne has a background in jazz radio and is an esteemed classical radio host. The three friends bring their expertise and diverse musical influences together as the Beat Divas. The blend is uncanny. The arrangements are exquisite. Prepare to be delighted.Beth UllmanBeth Ullman has been wowing audiences in the Southwest for the past fifteen years with her innovative renditions of jazz standards. Her 1994 debut CD, "Aren't We the Lucky Ones," garnered enthusiastic reviews from JAZZTIMES and CADENCE magazines, the latter noting: " She has an absolutely exquisite instrument.” Viewpoint Records released her follow up CD, “I Love You Too Much,” which featured many original compositions. "It's hard to resist the sublime and haunting interpretations of vocalist Beth Ullman." JAZZIZ, May 1995. "The lady swings hard and positively shines on ballads." CADENCE, April 1995. "Ullman's vocals connect both head and heart. A virtuoso musician." Michael Point, Austin American Statesman. Ms. Ullman has also released two CDs that are a unique blend of pop and new age styles of original meditation music: “Go Within” and “Remember Me.” KUT-FM Public Radio host John Aielli selected “Go Within” as his favorite release of 1998.
