| | Purenrg CD PureNRG Discography of CDs
The tween pop spotlight shone brightly on this lively trio's debut. It didn't hurt that Jump5, the last great pop group targeting the 8-12 age group, announced the end of their reign barely a week before PureNRG's debut dropped. It may have something to do with the fact that Norman Miller, Jump5's manager, also headed up the new group. Singers Jordan Yates (14), Carolyne Meyers (11), and Caroline Williams (12) have what it takes to please the tween crowds, a contagious energy, and their voices are surprisingly fit for the music. The fact that a throwback cover of "Footloose" is a perfect fit on this record tells you what kind of album it is -- light-heartedly and playful, exceptionally well produced and catchy, yet still meaningful. A parent's dream come true. ~ Jared Johnson

Purenrg
$15.05 Recorded in Houston in 2006, this reunion of the great gospel vocal group the Clark Sisters after a 12-year hiatus gathers many of their best-known, yet sadly out-of-print songs, including their career-making 1981 hit, the swinging "You Brought the Sunshine," as well as the swaying, fervent "Blessed and Highly Favored" and the joyous "Livin'." The sisters' remarkable, technically adept yet emotionally touching harmonies have lost none of their power over the years, and songs like "Tried Him and I Know Him" and "God Understands All" still carry an inspirational strength.

| | Skillet Awake CD (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition
Purenrg
$15.65 With a Grammy nomination and the sales figures to back it up, Skillet have merged as one of the most successful Christian rock bands of the `00s. Their 2009 effort, AWAKE, is a return to the harder-edged rock sound of the band's 2006 album COMATOSE. Melding raw, dissonant riffs with a soaring, anthemic builds and harmonizing, Skillet's passionate message is relayed in progressive-tinged rock that, while faith-based, is not lacking one bit in its sheer visceral power.
The highest-charting Christian album on the Billboard charts since 2006, Awake could be tagged as Skillet's mainstream breakthrough on that fact alone. Certainly, the band's monster modern rock does sound like it could slip onto on active rock playlist -- maybe not quite in 2009, but earlier in the decade, when metallic rockers heavy on the guitar downstrokes, and power ballads with chant-along vocals were relatively common. That's not to say that Skillet sounds out-of-step with the times -- there's still a gleam to the Howard Benson production that sounds modern -- and they do mange to imprint their own identity on this sometimes-generic brand of contemporary rock, thanks to their communal vocals, with male and female voices trading off, and skyscraper hooks. Skillet also don't always focus solely on religion, as many of their songs are grounded in inspirational positivity, so that's another reason why Awake finds ...
| | More Than 50 Most Loved Hymns CDs (2005)
Purenrg
$14.09 In an era when the definition of religious music has expanded to include everything from Christian death-metal to gospel rap, it's nice to know one can still find an album of traditional prayerful tunes. MORE THAN 50 MOST LOVED HYMNS collects popular church songs performed in a sweeping orchestral/choral style that will evoke warm memories of the grand holiday cathedral services of yesteryear.
Perhaps ...
| | Stryper Against The Law CD (1990)
Purenrg
$8.49 A definite improvement over In God We Trust, the grittier Against the Law is not only a more consistently rockin' album, it's also much more focused and inspired. The CD's standout track is an imaginative cover of Earth, Wind & Fire's "Shining Star," which works surprisingly well in a metal/hard rock setting. But originals like "Rock the People," "Caught In the Middle," and "Ordinary Man" aren't anything to be ashamed of, either. Because many of the songs don't have overtly Christian lyrics, there was some speculation that Stryper, like Amy Grant, was going secular. But Stryper's members insisted that they were still very much a Christian band. And it's hard to imagine ...

| | 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best Of The Troggs CD (2004) Remastered
Purenrg
$6.79 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Troggs is almost identical to the 1994 collection The Best of the Troggs released on Chronicles. This disc cuts two songs (the grungy "Gonna Make You" and the chugging "Surprise Surprise [I Need You]") and adds the ballad "Little Girl." The switch makes this collection inferior but it is still a fine place to get your hands on the best the Troggs have to offer. The set kicks off with the wild "Wild Thing" and jumps back and forth between the group's Neanderthal rave-ups like "From Home," "I Want You," ...

$11.29 Perusing the lyrics of WIRE, it's apparent that the mammoth success of Third Day's praise-themed albums, OFFERINGS I: A WORSHIP ALBUM and OFFERINGS II: ALL I HAVE TO GIVE, has given lead singer/main songwriter Mac Powell plenty of literary fodder. On several tracks, the vocalist pairs his band's trademark ...

| | Lou Reed Legendary Hearts CD (1983) (Import) Japan; Mini LP Sleeve
Purenrg
$36.59 If Legendary Hearts seemed like a disappointment in 1983, that was largely because the year before Lou Reed had released The Blue Mask, one of the finest albums of his career, and Legendary Hearts just wasn't quite as good. But pull it off the shelf today, give it a listen, and Legendary Hearts easily shuts down nearly anything Reed released in the 1970s; if it's a less obvious masterpiece than The Blue Mask, it makes clear that Reed was once again in firm command of his strengths, and making the most of them in the studio. Guitarist Robert Quine and bassist Fernando Saunders were both back on board from The Blue Mask, and they reaffirmed their status as the linchpins of the strongest band of Reed's solo career, and drummer Fred Maher rocked harder (and with fewer frills) than Doane Perry. The bracing cross-talk of Reed's and Quine's guitars had lost nothing in the year separating the two albums, and if Reed didn't seem to be aiming quite as high as a songwriter this time out, most of the tracks were every bit as intelligent and soul-searching as The Blue Mask's lineup; if there were a few moments of comic relief, like "Don't Talk to Me About Work" and "Pow Wow," no one could argue that Reed hadn't earned a few laughs after songs like "Make Up Mind," "The Last Shot," and "Betrayed." On Legendary Hearts, Reed was writing ...
| | John Christian Blues Fiddle CD (2007)

$15.19 John Christian's first instrument was the violin, which he played from 4rth grade up into the high school years. Switching to the bass guitar, then the six string. Ever since 9th grade John has played in bands. He has been in Rock and rollbands,country bands, variety bands, blues bands. This c.d. represents the musical journey Johnwent on as he was learning to play the blues violin.A little raw in places, but very unique in it's scope. I think violin players ...
