| | Deserters Pale Morning CD Deserters Discography of CDs
On first listen to Deserters debut album Pale Morning you will be struck by the bands sublime songwriting which when coupled with their articulate mature musicianship reveals an album that exudes a certain attitude without a hint of arrogance. Deserters portray a classic Australian quality earmarked by Luke Thomas' intuitive writing techniques (Luke also plays with The Pictures and The Ronson Hangup). The songs are rich with melody and a turn of phrase that reaches deep into the well of classic writers such as Neil Finn (NZ), Steve Kilbey and the sadly missed Grant Mclennan. The songs swell with a certain pride and endearing candour that comes from the bands effortless cool confidence. Pale Morning extends a warm invitation to enter and wander about gleefully in a lush garden of harmony and rhythm. The kind of songs that knock you down on first listen but help you back up again to reveal more depth & personality with every return visit. The opening track Waking Birds displays lavish, crisp production and is set to chiming guitars, a longing cello and yearning harmonies. The albums first single Take It As It Comes sees the band crank up the amps and depress the rock pedals: For a debut single, Melbourne's Deserters are showing off an awesomely confident and classic pop writing sensibility, sounding more like '90s powerpop heroes The Posies than much of The Posies' last record. Of course it probably helps that lead Deserter is Luke Thomas, the one from The Pictures that's not Davey Lane, with years in the shadow of his omnipotent Oz Rock pal to hone his snappy songs. Regardless of its pedigree, Take It As It Comes is a smile-inducing two and a half minute radio rock triumph with the potential to see out winter blaring from a range of bandwidths if given the chance. Simon Topper - Rave MagazineI Think It's Alright is a catchy campfire sing-along ready rock anthem and is quickly followed by the title track Pale Morning which aches with epic emotions and understated production smarts. Looking My Way is a clear cornerstone of Pale Morning. The song is a stark timeless gem which has been stripped back to reveal gorgeous acoustic guitars, a stirring cello and fragile vocals. Life Goes On sees the album veer back down the well worthy rock'n'roll road with an early R.E.M-esque slab of harmony jangle. The closing track Valerian (Goodnight) is a swirling brooding melodic marathon. A guitar soaked beast that capitulates the mood of the whole album in one sittingRecorded with band members Xain Milke on bass, Nick Fraser on guitar and Zac Anthony (The Wellingtons) on drums and backing vocals. Pale Morning has clearly extended Luke Thomas down a fruitfully creative path, one also complimented by: Davey Lane (The Pictures, You Am I), Mal Pinkerton (The Ronson Hangup, The Anyones) and Chris Altmann (The Vandas), Nathan Thomas (Lavish) helping out on guitar/keys, strings, pedal steel and backing vocals respectively. Devoid of studio trickery Pale Morning is a straight-up, organically produced album set to enamour devotees of classic pop and rock.

Pale Morning album
 $17.59   
Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in "Haifisch" or the soundtrack strings of "Wiener Blut" which are eventually overcome by a guitar crunching juggernaut. This strange mix of styles is more effective here than it has been for about a decade, and there's no threat of the album becoming ponderous either as the economical tracklist and purposeful songs wipe away the sins of their previous album, 2005's ROSENROT. The group's loyal fans have remained with them through ...
| | Kiss Sonic Boom CDs (2009)
Pale Morning CD music
$16.09 
When SONIC BOOM was released, it had been over a decade since the last Kiss studio album, so expectations were understandably high. In addition, the intervening period had seen the band fire two of its founding members for the second time, only to replace them with sidemen wearing Ace Frehley and Peter Criss's iconic makeup. Luckily, the new additions, unlike some of Kiss's "un-masked years" members, have a good feel for classic Kiss. That fact, matched with Paul Stanley's assumption of production duties, makes SONIC BOOM one of the most consistent and thoroughly Kiss-sounding albums since the group's `70s heyday. That said, the New York City unit manages to branch out a bit; alongside very ROCK & ROLL OVER/LOVE GUN-esque tracks such as the Gene Simmons-sung rockers "Yes I Know (Nobody's Perfect)" and "Russian Roulette," sit ambitious pieces such as "Stand," which employs a Motown-influenced chorus melody, sophisticated arrangement, and Beach Boys-style harmonies, and "All For the Glory" and "Lightning Strikes," which are vocal showcases from new guys Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer (respectively). Interestingly, both Singer's ...

| | Pantera Cowboys From Hell CD (1990)
Pale Morning songs
$5.75  
In the tradition of bands such as Metallica and Judas Priest, Pantera put themselves on the map with supercharged blues-based metal riffs and screaming/singing vocals. Adding groove to their artistic aggression made COWBOYS FROM HELL a landmark for the band.
With the relentless "Primal Concrete Sledge," Pantera take a chance and incorporate industrial elements into their style, a risky move for a metal band in 1990. "Psycho Holiday" showcases machine-gun syncopation while "Heresy" matches thrash riffs with double bass drumming dexterity. The haunting and dramatic "Cemetery Gates" features soulful vocals and was responsible for thrusting Pantera in the metal ...
| | Avenged Sevenfold City Of Evil CD (2005)
Pale Morning album
$9.49 
Even though Avenged Sevenfold's first two albums clearly got them lumped into the emo camp, the California quintet always hinted at the heavy metal influence of bands like Iron Maiden. With their major-label debut CITY OF EVIL, not only have they fleshed out these tendencies via the intricate riffing of dual guitarists Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates, but they've begun to dabble with more intricate, prog-like song structures. And with singer M. Shadows recovering from ...

| | John Carpenter Christma-Classics CD (2009)
Pale Morning songs
$12.69
If you like Christmas carols and Classical music, or either one, you will enjoy this album. I couldn't decide whether I liked Classical or Christmas music more, so I threw them together and stirred them up. The results run the gamut from the soft and mellow to the borderline insane. There is no way to describe a Christma-Classic, you must try one. I suggest "Can Can Wenceslaus." In a way it symbolizes the spirit of the CD. It combines Can-Can music of Offenbach with the song "Good King Wenceslaus" , throwing in a quote from Schumann's "Happy Farmer" just for the heck of it. If your taste goes more to High Classical, then by all means try "Mozart We Have Heard on High, based on Mozart Sonata in C and "Angels We Have Heard On High." Also very nice is "Green Fur," the scary title that belies a rather pretty combination of Greensleeves (What Child Is This) with Beethoven's "Fur Elise." In "God Rest Ye Merry, Mendelssohn," the E minor Scherzo of Mendelssohn is combined with "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentleman." ...
