Virus
$14.05 
It's easy to belittle power metal bands because they often marry portentous musical ambitions with hackneyed Manowar-like posturing that only a 12-year-old could possibly buy into; Germany's Edguy, however, are clever enough to flip those tables by making it evident that they don't take themselves all that seriously. Eight albums into the quintet's career, Edguy have in many ways succeeded where genre daddies Helloween first bit the dust -- injecting ample doses of fun, on-stage glam-metal gymnastics, Scorpions-like face pulling, and unselfconscious humor into what is normally an outwardly austere musical style, and 2006's Rocket Ride is no exception. Possibly validated even further by the recent emergence of Britain's the Darkness, this album's relaxed vibe begins with its silly-aliens-on-crack cover art and culminates in a clutch of amusing ditties about pulling birds ("Catch of the Century"), portly lovers ("Out of Vogue," "Trinidad"), and superheroes (err, "Superheroes"). On their way there, Edguy deliver a surprisingly catchy set of hard rockers ("Wasted Time," "Matrix") and unexaggerated ballads ("The Asylum," "Save Me,"), while rarely relying on power metal's primary and overly abused melodic thrash template ...

| | Masterplan Mkii CD (2007)
Virus
$14.05
After 2005's Aeronautics, Masterplan experienced some major lineup changes. Singer Jorn Lande and drummer Uli Kusch (of Helloween and Gamma Ray fame) both left the band -- and on 2007's MK II, the newcomers include Mike DiMeo (formerly of Riot) on lead vocals and Mike Terrana (who has played with Yngwie Malmsteen) on drums. But keyboardist Axel Mackenrott and guitarist Roland Grapow (formerly of Helloween) are still on board; in fact, Grapow is the band's leader and produced MK II -- which, despite the personnel changes, is not a stylistic departure from Aeronautics. Despite having a new lead singer and a new drummer, Masterplan still sounds like Masterplan -- and that means continuing to provide aggressive but melodic and intricate power metal with a strong progressive rock influence. Before MK II, Masterplan's sound was best described as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Ronnie James Dio with an awareness of Rush, Journey and Emerson, Lake & Palmer; that description is equally appropriate on MK II. Like Aeronautics, MK II is proudly, stubbornly caught in a stylistic timewarp; this album is totally oblivious to post-'80s developments in metal, and Grapow maintains his loyalty to the power metal and prog rock of the '70s and '80s. Of course, there is no law stating that all bands have to be innovative; the reality is that the vast majority of artists in metal or any other area of music ...
| | Helloween Gambling With The Devil CDs (2007) Limited Edition 2 CD Version
Virus
$15.05
The unprecedented worldwide success of multinational British-based power metallers DragonForce has cast an unexpected light upon German speed metal trailblazers Helloween. Perhaps the first band to convincingly combine thrash metal intensity with the melody and majestic imagery of the NWOBHM, and by extension the blueprint upon which DragonForce based their "extreme power metal" style, Helloween were a heavy metal institution, but one that had very much fallen by the wayside upon the departure of classic-era singer Michael Kiske and founder/guitarist Kai Hansen in the mid-'90s. Singer Andi Deris has been a permanent fixture ever since, but the band has found stable lineups difficult to come by, and the quality of material has been equally inconsistent. Following 2005's Keeper of The Seven Keys: The Legacy, on which the band attempted to revive the style of their mid-'80s classics, Gambling with the Devil is a little more calculated. The appearance of Saxon mainstay Biff Byford on the intro track "Crack the Riddle" is all too foreboding, however: for all its enthusiasm, Gambling with the Devil is unbending, inelastic, and indulgent heavy metal. Far from offering something new to the genre, Gambling with the Devil's progressive ...
| | Paul Evans Fabulous Teens...And Beyond CD (1996) (Import) United Kingdom
Virus
$20.49
The Fabulous Teens...And Beyond is a definitive Paul Evans anthology, offering 25 tracks of his 1959-1961 recordings in addition to a few country songs he recorded in the late '70s (two of which were chart hits). His Top 20 pop hits "Midnight Special," "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat," and "Happy-Go-Lucky-Me" (more recently featured in the film Pecker) are here, as well as the minor hit "The Brigade of Broken Hearts." The remaining tracks include covers of popular songs such as "Tutti Frutti," "Slippin' and Slidin'," "I'm Walkin'," and "The Fool," as well as a few ridiculous novelty pieces like "Show Folk" and "Fish in the Ocean" (on which Evans manages to sound exactly like Marvin Rainwater). An interesting treat is a songwriting demo recording of "Roses Are Red (My Love)," the famous song which Evans co-wrote. ~ Greg Adams

| | Arthur Lyman Yellow Bird CD (1961)
Virus
$10.39
Arthur Lyman's enchanted vibraphone conjures exotic magic on this HiFi reissue. Yellow Bird leans more on the cornucopia of actual birdcalls that became Lyman's musical signature later on. Lyman delivers intoxicatingly rich music in the dense interplay of guiro (South American scraped gourd), maracas, and tambourine with the vibes in "Bamboo Taboo." Lyman's use of four-mallet vibes (a pair in each hand) and added instrumentation of guitar, ukulele, flute, glockenspiel, and others results ...

| | Best Of Gothic Radio, V 1 CD (2002)
Virus
$10.99
Yes, it can be pretty difficult to take goth music seriously, in part because its practitioners are so serious themselves. Few things invoke a giggle fit quite as effectively as the sight of a sallow 15-year-old wearing black lipstick, black lace, and a tragic facial expression, listening to funereal music with Latin lyrics and lots of cellos. And this album's cover art doesn't really give one hope for anything less hackneyed -- between the dark forest, the 19th century church facade, and the statue of a weeping angel, it's got just about every goth cliché covered. So the stylistic variety and occasional rich complexity of the music it contains come as a very pleasant surprise. The album opens with "Concubine Crush Factor #8" (no, really, give it a chance) by Christopher, a dark but not heavy exploration of ethereal North African melisma and electronic textures; it gets even more interesting with Ego Likeness's "Drown Like You," a song whose muscular funk structure nicely offsets the singer's self-consciously spooky ...
| | Req Car Paint Scheme CD (2003)
Virus
$14.29
Req's Car Paint Scheme is a rare collaboration between two labels with competing interests but quite different audiences. Released by the perfectionists at Warp, who issue quality experimental techno with an unerring success rate, the tracks on Car Paint Scheme were selected by Damian Harris, the label boss of Skint -- the former home of Req and a label who saw the wheels come off their big-beat machine at the beginning of the millennium but continued releasing quality material from Lo Fidelity Allstars and Fatboy Slim. From the liner notes, it becomes clear that Harris played the editor on a set of tracks that, in some cases, Req had recorded years earlier; considering that the usual Req LP flaunts a certain thrown-together quality anyway, listeners could be forgiven for surrendering to a certain dubiousness. While Car Paint Scheme doesn't reach the quality of the last Req LP Sketchbook, like anything he releases it possesses an obtuse charm that allows anything and makes every idiosyncrasy forgiveable. A record doesn't qualify as an immediate ...
