Sleeper's Wake Music Review

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

1 star Insincere, cliched & trite
If you're looking for this type of soft-folk rock stuff, many other artists are doing it way, way better. This band seems driven by one individual, probably the singer, who keeps everything so tight and narrow that the music often feels like it's walking on a tightrope, often falling off. The only net seems to be the fancy bass work and other lead singer (sings on two songs?). Also the Christian overtones are obvious and annoying. This CD receives an epic failure for misdirection and poor leadership. The lyrics are riddled with cliches and seem totally insincere and trite.

Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition

Sleeper's Wake album

$16.25

Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling ...

Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD (1994)

Sleeper's Wake music CDs

$8.75

At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs. She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please ...

Sleeper's Wake album

$76.39

THE ART BOX contains HOPES & FEARS (1978)/WINTER SONGS (1979)/THE WORLD AS IT IS TODAY (1981) as well as ART BEARS REVISITED (2003) featuring mixes, remixes and re-workings of Art Bears tracks by various artists. Also includes a limited edition extra bonus disc with other remixes and rare Art Bears tracks. The Art Bears were a thinking person's rock trio, unfortunately destined to be also-rans during the age of punk's ascendancy. But for an outfit operating at the margins of popular music for less than two years, it turns out that the Bears left quite an impressive legacy, as evidenced by The Art Box, a 2004 Recommended Records set celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band's inception. The collection is crammed with six CDs, not to mention a CD single and several booklets, that nearly burst the box's seams. Members of the Henry Cow/Slapp Happy aggregation, multi-instrumentalist Fred Frith, drummer Chris Cutler, and singer Dagmar Krause came together in 1978 and recorded three albums between the Art Bears' founding and breakup. These albums -- Hopes & Fears, Winter Songs, and The World as It Is Today -- are all here in remastered form (along with high-quality reproductions of the striking original cover art), as are two discs of remixes made by various artists over a six-year period, an odds'n'sods disc of live material and miscellanea, and a single ("Coda to Man and Boy") that duplicates a track from the odds'n'sods disc but is a nice souvenir anyway. The three original albums presented an adventurous mix of avant rock experimentalism, smatterings of noise and dissonance, British folk flavors, medieval imagery, and leftist, anti-corporate politics -- all distilled into the short formats of art songs with an occasional cabaret feel. In other words, not exactly Top 40 material. The Art Bears' uniqueness is immediately apparent upon listening to the first of their albums, 1978's Hopes & Fears, like all three of their studio efforts engineered by Etienne Conod at Sunrise Studios outside Zurich. Hopes & Fears was a transitional LP, first intended as a Henry Cow album and including contributions from Cow members Tim Hodgkinson, Lindsay Cooper, and Georgie Born. The sonic palette is wide (including guitar, violin, viola, piano, harmonium, xylophone, and bass...and those are just the instruments played by Frith!), and there is a Cow-ish instrumental flavor throughout ("Terrain" is purely instrumental). But the most striking impression probably comes from Krause's vocalizing, about as antithetical to a conventional rock style as one could get. A powerful singer with a wide range, Krause could also be viewed as strident and severe in this setting (more In Praise of Learning than ...

David Miller Standing On The Promises CD (2005)

Sleeper's Wake CD music

$16.45
David William Miller was born April 15, 1983. His musical gift began surfacing at an extremely early age. He was actually singing for family and friends at the tender age of two. He frequently accompanied his mother to her many rehearsals and engagements as a soloist, and member of numerous choirs and groups in the city.

David's talents were featured in the production of a musical drama written by Reginald Sampson entitled "El-Shaddai." In this production, David was cast in the role of the young Jesus.

Because church has always been an integral part of his life, David has had the opportunity to be a featured soloist at numerous churches in the metropolitan Detroit area. ...
