His new independent release, Elephant Graveyard, immediately strikes the listener as an emotionally honest and purging album, and as a celebration of John's life long country/folk influences such as Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and Hank Williams, just to name a few.The albums first track, "The Day I Died", showcases John's original blend of those classic American influences with that of Oszajca's own modern message and sound, while "Baby Bye Bye", "Damn That Woman", and "Angalyne" vaunt a more Alt/Country sound that is both classic and refreshing with the first listen. Songs like "Sinkin' In" boast a healthy dose of acoustic verve, while "No Turning Back" is hauntingly stripped bare. The album even contains a reprise of the much loved "Where's Bob Dylan When You Need Him", A song that John says he has "recorded so many times he could release it as a double album" but that it is on ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD that he "finally got it right".Oszajca's previous releases, From There To Here (Interscope) and First Sign Of Anything (Warner Brothers), showcased a much more polished and mainstream sound. Perhaps it is John's new found indie label freedom that has led him to such a dramatic departure in tone ... 

Yogafit founder Beth Shaw has compiled an exquisite set of intoxicating grooves featuring female vocalists. Created to enhance the experience of yoga, dance or late-night listening with your sweetie, Angels Voices is sure to click in your pulse as a relaxes your mind. Award-winning DJs the Gordon Brothers mixed this entrancing selection of tracks to maximize the mystical union of body, mind, heart and spirit. Juicy world beat rhythms drive magical melodies and lay the foundation for showcasing the deliciously sensual vocals of electronic stars such as Suzanne Sterling, Sophia, Darshini, Irina Mikhailova and Helene Horlyck.While I've reviewed a number of the CDs this music comes from, compilations such as Angels Voices are always a great way to introduce people to music that they might not otherwise know about. Helene Horlyck, for example, is featured on Achillea: The Nine Worlds. Achillea is Enigma co-founder Gens Gad, so if you love to groove with Enigma (I'm a huge fan) you're sure to love tracks such as "Cape Porcupine," "Odin's Hill" or "Staraja Ladoga." Keyboards, outrageous guitar licks and loads of seductive percussion make these tracks, and everything on Angels Voices, a delight for the senses.I would also like to point out ...

The extremely talented group Yes have released their latest CD on the Elektra Entertainment recording label, entitled Fragile.Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Fragile. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.Fragile has a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.If you're a Yes fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Cans And Brahms, track 5 ...
