Without You Near album
$14.85 In 2003 and 2004, the German-born, U.S.-raised, Phoenix-weaned Markus Schulz ascended through the DJ ranks, spinning his trancey mixes worldwide, including such exotic, finger-on-the-pulse locales as Ibiza. He was also being spoken of in the same light as such mixmaster stalwarts as Armin Van Buuren and Paul Van Dyk. In 2004, his rise culminated in two Billboard club chart successes, with remixes of songs by Jewel ("Intuition" and "Stand"), and the masterful disc Coldharbour Sessions 2004, which showcased his distinct take on trance: thick, subby basslines; sweeping strings; and brooding, pretty melodies. (Schulz has also worked with such artists as Everything but the Girl, Depeche Mode, and Fatboy Slim.) The Coldharbour LP is a tough act to follow, but Miami '05, while not as strikingly original, does a pretty good job. On this album, Schulz mixes continue to avoid the pat hyped, pumping sound that often dominates trance, opting instead for (what Schulz himself describes as) a sexy, hip-moving vibe. The intro track, "Blue Tubes," by Israeli-born trance wunderkind Itay Steinberg (aka Hydroid) is a wonderfully blissed-out and chilled-out preamble to an eclectic, alternately tranquil and uplifting group of mixes. On the tranquil side, there's a clever retooling of Lens' "Let the ...
| | Armin Van Buuren Shivers CD (2005)
Without You Near CD music
$14.99 A legend among trance devotees in Europe, Armin van Buuren has been gradually making a name for himself as a composer of original dance music as well as a world-class DJ and remixer. His second artist album finds him taking the final step into real songwriting, working with such singers as Nadia Ali, Michael Burns, Justine Suissa and Martijn Hagens and continuing both to refine and expand his personal vision of the ways trance can be defined in a constantly expanding dance music universe. The album opens powerfully with the surprisingly breaks-based "Wall of Sound," a well put together celebration of funkiness that luxuriates in a long instrumental intro before eventually turning into a song featuring the attractive voice of Justine Suissa. From ...

Without You Near songs
$11.49 This noise duo's name may sound German (in what is perhaps a tribute to their most obvious stylistic precursors, Einsturzende Neubauten), but Seijiro Murayama and Kazuyuki K. Null are about as non-Teutonic as you can get. Not that that matters -- skronk knows no nationality, and on this compilation of live tracks, all recorded in Osaka and Tokyo between February and December of 2003, Absolut Null Punkt creates a toneless clangor that would make any jackbooted industrial collective proud. Whether you consider that to be good news or bad is up to you, of course, but it's frankly difficult to imagine even the most tolerant noise freak getting his jollies on the first two tracks, both of which manage simultaneously to be deeply abrasive and utterly boring. Around the middle of the program things start to get a bit more interesting; on the third and fifth tracks (none have titles, only numbers) Murayama and Null generate relatively sophisticated rhythmic patterns and work with subtle tonalities to create music that is actually fairly approachable. But the final track is the payoff: at 21 minutes long, and given what's gone before, you'd expect it to be insufferable, ...
| | Rank & File Sundown CD (1982)
Without You Near album
$10.39 The first wave of cowpunk launched by Jason & the Scorchers had begun to fade out and the alt-country scene which would follow the release of Uncle Tupelo's first album was eight years away when Rank and File offered their own distinct mixture of punk rock and classic country with their superb debut album, Sundown. Led by Tony Kinman and Chip Kinman, brothers who previously fronted the leftist punk band the Dils, and featuring Alejandro Escovedo (ex-Nuns and pre-True Believers) on guitar, Rank and File had more than enough rock credibility to satisfy anyone, but on this album, their punk side makes its presence clear mostly in their lean, stripped-down arrangements and their lyrical stance, which embraces working-class rage, bohemian fashion victims, and the plight of illegal aliens along with the more traditional country concerns of love and heartache. There isn't a note wasted in Chip and Alejandro's flinty but resonant guitar work, and Tony and Slim Evans are an equally efficient and rock-solid rhythm section (the dramatic dynamics and the use of empty space in the arrangements also suggests these guys had been listening ...

Without You Near songs
$16.29 On its third full-length album, PHOBIA, the Pennsylvania-based heavy-rock act Breaking Benjamin offers up another potent round of moody, riff-laden tunes. While "The Diary of Jane" revels in sheer ferocity and recalls Bush, the emotive "Breath" carries echoes of early Tool, revealing that the ensemble is intent on staying true to its 1990s alt-metal forebears. Although these influences place the group, led by emotive vocalist Ben Burnley, in the company of Nickelback and Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin distinguishes itself with a sense of earnestness and a knack for melody matched by few of its peers. While fans of the band will undoubtedly embrace PHOBIA, the consistently engaging release may also win Breaking Benjamin ...
