The early 21st century experienced a glut of metal bands that incorporated obvious elements of goth into their sound -- especially detected in their appreciation of symphonic and keyboard sounds (as well as their fashion sense). Most of these groups knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Fields of the Nephilim. Led by Carl McCoy, Fields of the Nephilim have long specialized in an extremely sonically rich and layered goth sound, and continue to do so, as evidenced by their 2006 release, Mourning Sun. Although not as brutally heavy as some modern-day goth metal acts, McCoy's oft-growled vocals wouldn't sound entirely out of place in your average band comprised of members in white makeup, black attire, and pointy guitars. The material on Mourning Sun manages to have a progressive edge as well, as the majority of the album's seven tracks stretch over seven minutes in duration. Produced solely by McCoy (who isn't keen on listing which musicians aided him on the recording) and recorded at various locations via a mobile recording studio, Mourning Sun contains such standout goth-prog-metal epics as the slowly building "Shroud (Exordium)" and the sprawling album-closing title track. Further proof that Fields of the Nephilim are the leaders of the symphonic metal pack. ~ Greg Prato
Fields of the Nephilim: McCoy (vocals); Nephilim (various instruments); "Capachino" Carter (guitar, bass guitar, drums).

$15.65 
"Belief in one god," suggests the title of Celtic Frost's comeback album, MONOTHEIST. For fans of the groundbreaking Swiss death/thrash metal outfit, that statement is better understood as "Belief in one band." Celtic Frost are the absolute deity of dark metal, and the band returned in 2006 to reclaim what it so rightfully deserved, following experiments and folly both daring and unsuccessful. Tom G. Warrior and company lay waste to a dense, moody, cathartic collection of songs, finding new inspiration in both their old works as well as elements of the early-2000s metal scene they helped inspire. Relentlessly grim and spiritually foreboding, MONOTHEIST marks a powerful return to form for Celtic Frost.
Celtic Frost's much anticipated 2006 comeback album, Monotheist, is everything you'd expect from the band who managed to attach the term avant-garde to ugly ol' heavy metal. It's unconventional, ...

| | Jovanotti Lorenzo 1990-1995 Raccolta CD (1995)
Mourning Sun music CDs
$11.05 
Lorenzo 1990-1995 Raccolta is the best introduction to Jovanotti anyone could hope for. An unassailable 16-track compilation culled from the four studio albums Giovani Jovanotti, Una Tribù Che Balla, Lorenzo 1992, and Lorenzo 1994, it also includes two new tracks, "Marco Polo," and the hit "L'Ombelico del Mondo." Tellingly, this compilation ignores Jovanotti's first two juvenile efforts, Jovanotti for President and La Mia Moto. This decision may pertain to copyright issues, or to Jovanotti's manifest intent to distance himself from his early image as a brainless party animal. In this sense, the album does not paint the complete picture; after all, Jovanotti's quick rise to fame was largely due to shock value (rather than good songs): he was the first Italian rapper, and a handsome reckless teenager all in ...
| | Echo & The Bunnymen Evergreen CD (1997) (Import) Bonus Tracks; England; Netherlands
Mourning Sun songs
$13.15
Principally recorded at Barry Barlow's Doghouse Studio, Henley On Thames, England in February 1997.
The tellingly titled EVERGREEN finds all the surviving charter members of Echo & the Bunnymen recording together for the first time since 1987. The band made one album without singer Ian McCulloch before disintegrating. Band members collaborated on various projects over the years, but only as a cohesive unit have they ever truly hit their mark.
McCulloch's voice is still velvety and pure, at once exuberant and tragic. His lyrics marry fragmented wordplay ("I'm in my prime and you're wasting my time/ You're denominator commonest low") with the swaggering ...
| | John Mayer Room For Squares CD (2001)
Mourning Sun album
$9.69 
"Your Body Is A Wonderland" won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
John Mayer was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Somewhere around the turn of the 21st century, guys like David Gray (who'd already been laboring in obscurity for quite a while) and Five For Fighting made it hip (and profitable) to be a sensitive singer-songwriter for the first time since the '70s. Along those lines, John Mayer appeals to the kind of youngsters who are embarrassed by their parents' Dan Fogelberg collection but equally turned off by vociferous gangstas and misanthropic heavy rockers. ROOM FOR SQUARES (whose very title, not to mention Mayer's studied regular-guy cover pose, bespeaks the revenge of the nerds) accordingly trades in acoustic guitar-based folk-rock tempered with just enough 21st-century freshness to keep its practitioner ...
| | Marykate O'Neil CD (2002)
Mourning Sun CD music
$6.69
It's easy to get stuck in a rut within certain genres (female-fronted folk-pop and Byrds-y power pop are both treacherous examples), which is why the eponymous debut from Marykate O'Neil is so entertaining. O'Neil successfully welds both of the aforementioned subgenres into a seamless whole, and that's where this album gets its charm -- simply because, while it seems so obvious, very few actually do it, or do it well. O'Neil is the protégée of sorts of Jill Sobule (who produced and co-wrote most of this album and is one of the few others to produce a similarly successful fusion in the '90s), and her tendency to craft smart, lyrically compelling songs manifests itself all over this disc. In fact, the list of contributors to this disc reads a bit like a who's who of the power pop world: Dennis Diken of the Smithereens, Mike Deming of the Pernice Brothers, Brad Jones, Pat Buchanan, Ross Rice, and more all pitch in. A lot of the album is gentle, acoustic fare -- the opening "Hudson," the wistful "U-Haul" -- but a lot is also bouncy guitar pop, too, like "Mundane Dream." And the songs are woven together into a mini-concept album of sorts about moving out of your hometown and into the big city. Once again, that isn't particularly revolutionary, but that isn't the point, either. The real centerpiece is O'Neil's vocals; she tends a remarkably restrained style, her purring and sighing acting as the perfect accompaniment for her modest music. The touches of modest genre-shifting only enhance this, elevating it from a simple "guitar pop" or "folk" record and into something more interesting. And as if that weren't enough, O'Neil tosses a modest cover of the Spice Girls' "Stop" -- one of their very best songs -- right into the middle of the running order. Using her slightly bookish sensibility, warm vocals, keen sense of humor, and understanding of what makes a good pop song, O'Neil has crafted a winning debut that's alternately pretty and infectious. ~ Jason Damas
Marykate O'Neil hails from Hudson, a small New England town in Massachusetts where she was raised by a lone beatnik named Leona. She had a pet turtle named "freddie", a doll named "freckles", a bike radio, and her cousins hand-me-down record collection. She spent a lot of time putting on shows for freddie and freckles which are rumored to have heavily featured a large button as a tambourine. As a latch key child, she obviously spent too much time alone and first developed her obsession for pop culture. Upon leaving Hudson, Marykate moved to Boston where she spent even more time alone --- this time studying philosophy. O'Neil eventually left the library and began her foray into songwriting. She was the singer/songwriter behind the Boston band piewackit who recorded a ...
