Downburst Music Review

Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars Undiscovered Gem!
This is perhaps the greatest musical discovery I have made in a while. Got the album due to my love of power metal, prog metal and especially Iron Maiden. Picked this up out of the blue totally--everyone I asked never heard of them, but I heard a 30 second sound clip here on CD Universe. As soon as I heard it, I immediately picked up three of their previous albums, and haven't been able to listen to anything else, and I mean anything. These guys are amazing. It's hard to categorize--but the Maiden influence is omnipresent. Strong, powerful but melodic music, featuring chugging guitars, an impressive lead singer, and lots of rhythm. As musicians they are very sharp--but their virtuosity does not overshadown their songwriting. In sum this is one of the best bands I have heard in a long time, and any metal fan would be hard pressed to find much better out there right now.

Brainstorm Soul Temptation CD (2003)

Power metal doesn't get much heavier or more aggressive than Germany's Brainstorm. Melding traditional metal songwriting aesthetics with new millenium production values to pummeling effect, the group steadily built its reputation over the course of four increasingly accomplished albums, blazing a path to 2003's arguable career-best Soul Temptation. On standout tracks like "Highs Without Lows," "The Leading," ...

New Jersey prog-metal stalwarts Symphony X return with PARADISE LOST, their first outing since 2002's THE ODYSSEY. Their literary aspirations remain intact--the album is inspired by the John Milton epic poem of the same name--and per usual, Michael Romeo's Byzantine tablature and Russell Allen's vocals are the main attractions.

Helloween Gambling With The Devil CDs (2007) Limited Edition 2 CD Version

Downburst

$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, ...

Miles Davis Blue Moods CD (1955)

Downburst

$8.39

Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Sometimes the sum of a jazz session is not equal to its parts. Creation is an elusive process, not something to be approached as one would dial a toll-free number, and the mere presence of superstars does not guarantee that sparks will fly. BLUE MOODS is a serene, moody session, all film noir lighting and smoke-filled cafes. However, given the fact that the trumpeter was joined by such effusive, innovative musical personalities as drummer Elvin Jones and bassist Charles Mingus, one might expect a much more vigorous exchange of ideas. Even Miles, in his autobiography, was at a loss to explain why this July 8, 1955 date didn't take off into the stratosphere. Still, BLUE MOODS possesses an eerie aura that marks it as a special event in the Miles Davis discography. Originally recorded for Charles Mingus' own Debut label, Davis and his all-pro rhythm team are joined by trombonist Britt Woodman and vibraphonist Teddy Charles, and this unusual instrumentation serves to reinforce the cool vibe of this one-time encounter. On "Nature Boy" Mingus vivisects the beat with clever contrapuntal devices, as Jones locks in the groove with cool brushwork and Davis intones the melody in a straightforward manner. "There's No You" is given a blue rendition, as Mingus and Jones provide a slow, graceful groove. The tentative pace of "Easy Living" amplifies the date's film noir moodiness, as Davis' melodic variations suggest Miss Billie Holiday, while Woodman's "Night In Tunisia"-styled counterpoint, Mingus' Monkish vibes and Jones' light Afro-Cuban beat give "Alone Together" a fanciful Ellingtonian air. Miles was fresh from his triumph at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival when he agreed to record for his old friend Charles Mingus's label. Considering the volatile temperaments of the two protagonists, the music is surprisingly calm, but according ...
