| | Candlemass Ancient Dreams CD Candlemass Discography of CDs
Candlemass' third album, Ancient Dreams is not quite as immediate as its predecessor, but with repeated listens, its songs (mostly running in the seven-minute range) become just as compelling. Outstanding tracks like "Mirror Mirror," "Darkness in Paradise," "The Bells of Acheron," and "Bearer of Pain" combine sluggish, staccato riffs with surprisingly memorable choruses delivered by vocalist Messiah Marcolin with his trademark vibrato overload. The title track and "Incarnation of Evil" do seem to plod on a bit too long, but the more energetic "A Cry from the Crypt" picks up the pace with some typical late-'80s thrashing. The closing "Black Sabbath Medley" is interesting, but hardly surprising, making this an album for serious fans only. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Includes video for "Mirror, Mirror".

Ancient Dreams album
 $15.65   
The release of 2009's ENDGAME brings with it a startling realization: if first-generation thrash metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" -- Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth -- would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been "well, anyone but Megadeth!" And yet, 12 studio albums and 150-plus songs later -- more than any of the other three have managed -- that's exactly what's ...

Ancient Dreams music CDs
$11.65
Twisted Sister was one of the prime movers on the East Coast hard-rock/heavy-metal scene in the '70s, with a sound that was a blueprint for the metal explosion in the '80s. When Twisted Sister was formed in 1972 by lead vocalist and guitarist Jay Jay French, it was a glam band that played covers of Mott the Hoople and David Bowie tunes. All that changed in 1976, when Dee Snider joined and the band took a metallic turn.
The first two songs on this collection "Come Back"(a fast and furious rocker of lost love) and "Pay the Price"(featuring the skin bashing of second drummer Tony Petri), set a blistering tone. "Rock N Roll Saviors" is an anti-disco anthem, with a guitar sound that clearly influenced early Iron Maiden. "High Steppin" is a more traditional rock & roll tune, while "T.V. Wife" and "Can't ...

Their first recording for '90s punk mega-label Epitaph, Something's Gotta Give began a second comeback of sorts for New York hardcore veterans Agnostic Front. After too many long, ill-timed periods of inactivity due to legal and personal struggles, and a controversial metallic phase, the band's relevance had withered considerably ...

Ancient Dreams album

Is it progressive rock? Is it hard rock/metal? Yes to both -- this album combines those two genres into a musical stew that at times seems to call to mind Rush, but still carves out it's own niche in the garden of sounds. ...

Anyone who is seriously knowledgeable of metal's past and present can tell you that there's a brave new world in headbanger music. Today's neo-headbangers are likely to be influenced by punk, hip-hop, or industrial music; they probably grew up listening to the Notorious B.I.G., Black Flag, and Skinny Puppy, as well as Slayer and Metallica, and they might even consider a hip-hop DJ the perfect companion for downtuned ...

Ancient Dreams CD music
$9.35
"This album of 40 minutes is absolutely perfect, a bedside album so pleasant to listen to after a hard day. At once accessible and challenging . . . a perfectly balanced album . . . filled with memorable melodies. A debut full of promise!" -Sabine de Greef, With Music in My Mind"Debut albums sometimes can offer a false look at what's to come in the future from an artist, but for Jenny Gillespie it was just the opposite. She spent time to find herself musically before presenting this album to the public. This is a great album that offers a tranquil, relaxed quality to it that I think everyone can use at some point or another and is well worth a spin." -Guestlist Jenny Gillespie continues to weave and bloom her dreamy folk-pop songs on her new album Light Year. Tender, womanly vocals soar and sparkle over these songs that blend rootsy sweetness with darker rock atmospheres.Fans of Feist, Laura Marling, Martha Wainwright, and Sun Kil Moon will gravitate to this album, instrumented thoughtfully by world percussion, pedal steel, accordian, and more, but with the insistent thread of Jenny's inventively tuned guitar, piano, and a broken-angelic voice that heightens and speaks unabashedly to the listener's emotions.In Jenny's own words:"LIGHT YEAR is the culmination of a year's worth of shedding layers both musical and personal. It was recorded here in Chicago at Electrical Audio by Greg Norman, and Carterco Recording by Jamie Carter, with additional production and mixing by Darwin Smith at Cacophony Recorders in Austin, TX. I wrote most of the songs over my first four years here in Chicago, 2004-2008. Musically I wanted to move into a new direction, as I'd been filling myself with so much music that moved me, new sources of inspiration I wanted reflected in my own work. I wasn't quite sure initially how to focus the album, and over the course of the year in making it, cut several songs from the lineup that seemed too steeped in my straightforward folky sound, drawn to those that appealed to me on a deeper level musically and lyrically. It was arduous at first picking up the electric guitar and piano, both of which I was a little afraid of, but these instruments helped me expand the arrangements into more nuanced versions. I was blessed by meeting Darwin Smith through a friend; he stretched each song's potential in the mixing process into earthy and ambient spaces that brought out the emotional spectrum in each piece.I would say the album's overarching theme is the shedding of darkness to reveal one's light, and the holding close of those dark parts of yourself that remain integral to your being, not in attachment but in compassion, in possibilities towards transformation. The music itself is a blend of light, sweet, tender vocals and tender melodies, with darker ambiences and rougher textures, more difficult visions and more womanly vocalizations. Musicians who played on the album include John Knecht, Josh ...
