Fu Manchu Start The Machine Songs Start The Machine Music Review Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars)   It's a good effort but nothing is like the good old days...
Some of the tracks are really good but nothing will ever be as they were, the glory days are over. This we already knew when we heard California Crossing. Still it's worth listening to, it grows better and better each time. Buy it and make your collection complete.

 Best CD so far?
Fu Manchu´s latest CD is a mindblowing journey through 70´s rock and fuzzy stonerrock, maybe their strongst effort so far and that means pure quality.
WARNING!!
Don´t drive wile listening to this CD, you might lose your license.

Too Short...
Unfortunately Fu Manchu on this album have opted for shorter songs, cutting out the sometimes "spacey" jams and guitar bits which they are known for, and instead end up compacting each song into either two or three minutes. The trouble is as a result each song ends up sounding the same, albeit with different lyrics. At 35 minutes this album is just too short.

Any dude who grew up in the '70s can tell stories about driving around in a van with illegal substances and a couple of chicks, but they can't quite recreate the experience like Fu Manchu. KING OF THE ROAD presents the party-hearty side of Sabbath, riffs heavy as lead and reeking of ganja smoke, but with deep grooves that keep things rolling along. "Boogie Van" is exactly ...

$8.39
Formidable SoCal stoner rockers Fu Manchu sweetened the pot significantly on CALIFORNIA CROSSING. While their heavy grooves always owed something to the arena-filling radio rock of the '70s, they never had as much streamlined power-pop appeal as they do here. The epic title track is a sun-drenched anthem to their home state, and Venice name-checking "Downtown in Dogtown" swings fast and loose like the legendary skateboard crew it shares a name with. CALIFORNIA CROSSING is ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Start The Machine songs
$6.39 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday." VH1 PRESENTS THE CORRS LIVE IN DUBLIN is a fine mix of the band's greatest hits ...

$14.69
On the follow-up to 2003's EVOLVER, Omaha pop-funk-reggae-rockers 311 continue the maturation process begun on that album. The 11 tunes on DON'T TREAD ON ME rarely deviate from 311's established formula. The laidback title track (also the album's first single) is a particular highlight, blending a rock-steady rhythm with one of the band's catchiest choruses. Elsewhere, S.A. Martinez and Erik Hexum maintain their trademark vocal blend; however, given that rap-metal was officially passé by 2005, Martinez only slips into his hip-hop-influenced mode on the jittery "Speak Easy." The rest of the album tends to focus on upbeat rockers like ...

Start The Machine CD music
$59.35
Even devoted Billy Bragg fans who have followed the singer-songwriter's albums throughout the '90s and 2000s are likely to agree that the artist's best work is his earliest. Bragg was a passionate, outspoken figure who married punk immediacy to folk-styled songwriting, and whose unerringly clever and detail-rich lyrics addressed both political and emotional matters with equal insight. He released a series of albums and EPs in the '80s that still sound fresh and relevant today.
VOLUME 1 BOX SET is a compendium of all of Bragg's early recordings, including his debut EP LIFE'S A RIOT WITH SPY VS. SPY, his excellent full-length albums BREWING UP WITH BILLY BRAGG and TALKING WITH ...

Start The Machine music CDs
$12.69
Shane Parton delivers his second album titled Lustre from the Distance. It is an introspective work that travels through the heart, reflecting the way it loves, the way it feels when love dissolves, and pondering how things might have been different if only things were different.Kicking off this collection is the infectious blues-dusted groove "Unspoken" which captures the attention from the very start and holds on long after the song has ended. As it continues, Lustre soars through lush, guitar driven, sounds and drifts inward touching melodic, delicate, folk inspired songs before turning back out to land on the same positive note from which it started. This pop/rock infused album occasionally finds the angry, defiant voice that Shane established with his debut -Cusp- but predominantly ...
