Proterra Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Back to their best!
An outstanding return to form in a truly superb colleciton of songs! This is simply a stunning album that any die-hard Runrig fan should own - the album title track is for me the stand out, but every song glistens with superlatives I haven't the space to mention...still rocking after 26 years!!

5 stars The best so far...
All the past Runrig albums have been great but I believe this is the most consistent recording to date. Nearly every song is a standout. The sound quality of this record is their best yet. I'm very impressed!

The best sounding runrig album ever. Runrig rock as a rock band should on this album and there's a welcome change in vocals as new member Brian Hurron belts it out on "Theres a need". Bruce's version of "The old Boys" blows the old Donnie version out the water. A must have album.

Alice Peacock Real Day CD (2000)

Proterra album

$16.45

Alice Peacock wisely opens her debut album with her strongest song, and it's a very strong song, indeed. "I Hear You Say" explores the Venus and Mars distinction between what men say to women and how women interpret it. "Every now and then you say something I understand," she begins, responding to a boyfriend's remarks, then goes on to offer a girlfriend's gloss: "And you will say that everything is gonna be okay/That you could never ask for more... I hear you say that you're easily impressed." The translation may be rough, but somewhere between what he says and what she hears, you can tell things aren't going to work out. "I Hear You Say" impresses because it has something fresh to say about love and the war between the sexes, the imperishable subject of pop music, and because Peacock delivers its lyrics with a conviction that doesn't miss their undercurrent of humor. The equally feisty "Get Your Own," which follows, starts out sounding like another, more exasperated breakup song, and it only gradually becomes apparent that the narrator is actually talking to a female friend who has overstayed her welcome. The one-two punch of these two powerful, individual songs can make the first-time listener to Real Day giddy with anticipation: Can the rest of the album be this good? Well, no, but the other nine songs have their definite pleasures. Peacock is not quite the master of her material, sometimes overwriting (the pontifications of "Cracks and Daggers"), sometimes underwriting (in "My Love I Will," she never quite says what it is she ...

Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are CD (1973)

Proterra music CDs

$16.15

After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE? Despite all the infighting, the band pulled together long enough to record seven tracks that only bolstered the band's reputation. The best-known song, "Woman From Tokyo," boasted a riff as memorable as the one that defined "Smoke on the Water" and was later admitted by Ritchie Blackmore to have been cribbed from Eric Clapton's "Cat Squirrel." Although Blackmore's always-impressive riffing stands out on such songs as "Mary Long" and "Place in Line," this album also spotlights how far Jon Lord's contributions on organ went toward defining the band's sound. Lord's mastery was such that in addition to the impressive solos on "Place in Line," his sweeping runs are the highlight ...

Paint The Sky With Stars: The Best Of Enya CD (1997)

Proterra CD music

$15.89

Enya created a style whose wide open soundscapes were reminiscent of New Age, but more melodic, heavily based on the traditional Celtic music that formed much of her early singing career. This synthesis of styles proved marketable: the single "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) was a global smash, underscoring the universality of her work. Its dramatic string arrangements and heavenly choir struck a chord which resounded across all cultural and musical boundaries. More hits followed: "Caribbean Blue" assimilated yet another cultural paradigm into Enya's style, bringing the exuberance of the tropics into her ever-broadening ...
