| | Samara Lubelski Spectacular Of Passages CD Samara Lubelski Discography of CDs
Very organic and earthy sounding, Samara Lubelski has a soft, folksy pop vocal that brings to mind the velvet style of Juliana Hatfield, especially on the relaxing, hypnotic opener "Lick 'N Leap" that glides along effortlessly. Not quite haunting but still evoking fragile, angelic-like imagery, Lubelski takes great care to stick to her dreamy, lullaby strengths on Spectacular of Passages. "Sister Silver" has a tad more pop-oriented punch or bite within, but is hauntingly driven by Lubelski's hushed tone. This is revisited and is more forceful during the rather catchy "Broken Links," which resembles a Belle & Sebastian tune."Snow White Feathered Man" seems like it was recently uncovered in some '70s time vault along with unreleased tracks by the Moody Blues, with gentle touches complemented by some lush orchestral strings. It's quite majestic and never loses its charm, particularly with the care and tenderness given to the folk-meets-hippie psychedelia of "Magic Winding." The greatest asset so many of these songs share is their ability to draw you in and get you hooked without the slightest realization of what's happening. The first average number is "Road to Misfortune," which is okay but lacks the precious feeling of the opening quartet of tunes, coming off as more folksy or singer/songwriter. Although there are several quality efforts, one which stands out is the fleeting, whispered "Onion," which contains violin, guitar, and flute in all the right places. Closing out with "Quartered Field," Spectacular of Passages is like fine china -- but with no bull in sight. ~ Jason MacNeil

If current trends in underground music are any indicator, this album by Berlin (one strike) producer Kaos, with its genre hopping (second strike) and myriad guests (third strike), should be an absolutely abysmal and plodding mess. Which is why it's nice to report ...

The Grasshoppers were one of the most influential and melodic rock / pop bands on the New York City Scene in the mid 90's. Each member brought their own unique musical ability, unsurpassed by their peers. This is the first album made by "The Grasshopers" entitled "The Grasshoppers". It includes the all out rocker "Down The Slide", the ultra Beatle melodic Pop "Crosstown Bus", the ecologically minded "Taking It Upon Yourself" and the enigmatic rocker "Sunday Suprise". All ripe with harmonies and catchy guitar riffs it is truly a calliope of pop sounds. Early lineup includes Marco Joachim (Guitar, Piano Lead Vocal), Jason Appleton (Guitars and Lead vocals), Dave Hamburger on Bass and Richard Pagano on drums.Marco, Jason, and David penned the songs for their debut self-titled CD, released on Smile Records. After the release of their first album, drummer Rich Pagano left the band to pursue a producing career that included the Grasshoppers second album “American Van”. Rich was replaced by long time New York rock scene staple Chris Wilford. The Grasshoppers second album will be re-released shortly and is already a collector’s item having been almost impossible to find for years. "American Van” is another concept album about a band with a remote recording unit in their van. All the songs were recorded while touring across America. The album featured the Grasshoppers trademark sound, reminiscent of the Beatles and The Band. The Grasshoppers rigorous touring schedule and original brand of '70s influenced rock earned them a devoted ...
