| | Sandycoates Melody Memory CD Sandycoates Discography of CDs
Sandycoates is a solo project from Greg Moore, one-half of the chamber pop duo the Moore Brothers. He departs from that band's organic sound and utilizes some electronics on Melody Memory as most of the songs are built around light drum sequences and colored in with gentle synth sounds. The electronics complement the simple musical backing well and never do anything to distract from Moore's biggest asset, his wonderfully intimate and smooth vocals that are vaguely reminiscent of a more reedy Colin Blunstone. His multi-tracked vocal harmonies are quite nice, especially on the acoustic ballad "Another Snowman." The songs on Melody Memory are quite straightforward compared to the Moore Brothers' twisting neo-psych sound, often relying on simple chord changes and almost folky melodies. The problem with the EP is that it feels very slight, the general politeness and laid-back feeling conspire to make it the kind of recording that evaporates from your mind as soon as you take it out of your CD player. The only song that really sticks is the propulsive and guitar-driven "A Jumble," and that is partly due to the gimmicky female vocal interjections. The rest is sort of a pleasant blur and it certainly pales in relation to the recordings Greg has made with his brother (and also as Owl & the Pussycat). ~ Tim Sendra Sandycoates Melody Memory Songs | 1. | Air and I |

Melody Memory
$17.57 Of the "big four" original thrash bands (the other three being Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth), Slayer was the least compromising and most consistent. As such, 2009's WORLD PAINTED BLOOD recalled more than the title of Slayer's 1986 masterpiece REIGN IN BLOOD; it shared the earlier album's ferocious aggression and trademark speed metal-meets-hardcore ...
| | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Melody Memory
$11.18 It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture, ...

| | Nirvana Live At Reading CD (2009)
Melody Memory
$11.16 Certain concerts create a legend as soon as the final note ceases to ring. Nirvana's headlining appearance at the 1992 Reading Festival is one of these shows, a concert that arrived at precisely the right moment and stands as testament to a band at the peak of its powers...and right before things started to turn sour within the Nirvana camp. Despite the happy news of the birth of Frances Bean Cobain a mere 12 days before this August 30 festival, rumors swirled around Nirvana right up until the band hit the stage. Kurt Cobain took full advantage of these scurrilous stories, making his entrance in a hospital gown and wheelchair pushed by journalist Everett True. Cobain feebly reached for the microphone to croak out the opening lines of "The Rose," only to collapse onto the stage, milking the drama for a moment before leading Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl through a ferocious "Breed." This impish sense of humor has been obscured over the years, lost under the weight of the band's tragic legacy, along with the fact that Nirvana could actually be fun as ...

| | 71 Minutes Of Faust CD (1996)
Melody Memory
$15.29 One of the key bands in Germany's Kraut-rock movement of the 1970s, Faust took concepts from the experimental avant-garde (sound collage, ambient synth, music concrete, improvised noise, et al.) and applied them to a rock framework. 71 MINUTES... collects tracks from two unreleased albums recorded in the early-to-mid 1970s, RETURN OF A LEGEND and FAUST PARTY. And while this is not an immediately easy set to enjoy, if given the time ...
