Average Rating: (1 out of 5 stars) 1 star

1 star Unlistenable
As a huge Terry Pratchett fan I bought this album expecting the music to be on par with the brilliant music for the Discworld games. How wrong I was. This is an unlistenable mishmash of cheesy synth-pop...and cheesy is the word. Take "The Shades Of Ankh-Morpork". If you know the books you will probably have an image of the Shades in your head and will probably have an idea of the kind of music that would fit the bill. Let me tell you , this is not it. It is an unbearable bubblegum pop song, sung by the singer who did the "Teletubbies" theme song. In fact, this song would be more appropriate on an infants' TV show then on a Discworld album. That is the problem suffered by much of the album-the songs simply do not match up with their titles. "Unseen University", for example, should be dramatic and swirly, for example, to reflect the feel of that building from the books. Instead...more cheesy pop. Apart from music that in no way realtes to the ethos of Discworld, the other unifying theme of the album is one of total self indulgence. In the sleeve notes it is noted that one of the tracks had five whole (synthesised) organs on it-just because Greenslade could. Nauseating. Note that this review gives it one star. That one star goes to Terry Pratchett's amusing sleeve notes, not at all to the music.

This eight-CD box set, with about one-third previously unreleased material, sparks the beginning of a promising series of Neil Young ARCHIVES, and serves as a document of the heady exploration and growth that the beloved artist undertook between the innocent early 1960s and the explosive early '70s.

From The Discworld songs
CD $19.05  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
The first studio album since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore, BIG WHISKEY AND THE GROOGRUX KING finds the Dave Matthews Band none the worse for wear and collaborating with superstar producer Rob Cavallo (best known for his extensive work with Green Day). Cavallo's way with an aggressive riff is in evidence on "Shake Me Like a Monkey," a funky track vaguely reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," and the driving "Why I Am," which recalls the Knack's "My Sharona." Other songs, such as the groovy, polyrhythmic "Spaceman," find the band returning to classic jammy, chops-a-riffic DMB territory. Full of prominent ...

Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering Studios). Up until 1983's UNDERCOVER, it had been quite a long time since rock's reigning aristocracy made anything besides their status as such (and the rewards thereof) an album's theme. But with the exception of "She Was Hot," a lustful rocker that wouldn't have sounded out of place on SOME GIRLS, this year's Rolling Stones had something else on their minds. There's violence amidst the freaky reggae and soul of UNDERCOVER's grooves, a darkness unfelt on a Stones ...

Damian Azriel Girl Trouble CD  (2006)

From The Discworld songs
CD $15.95
Damian AzrielFollowing in the footsteps of guitar wizards and songwriters Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper, Damian’s highly infectious original music transports us to a place where time is standing still. It reminds us of the power that real live rock n' roll has to make you feel allright and knock your freakin' socks right off. Tune up your air guitars and get ready to jam with some heavy sonic sounds. Damian's influences include Blues, Jazz, Rock, Alternative and ???. Hailing from Vancouver BC, Damian has been featured on local radio stations CFOX, CFRO, and CITR and internationally on Englands’ Radio 2XS. Proficient on the bass, drums, harmonica, piano and guitar, he has been writing music, singing and playing in original bands since the age of 15. Damian has released several original recordings, the latest entitled "Girl Trouble" in 2005. He once auditioned to be the guitarist in the Red Hot Chili Peppers and was told that his playing ability was great, but he wasn't "punk rock enough." "I took my combat boots off when I was 16" says Damian. "That's Hollywood for you", ...
