Where to begin with ^^'s Sickness Volume Four? With such strange and interesting music I find myself inclined to find out a bit about the artists. A good place to start is with the artist's bio on Intolerance Records -"Nobody knows if ^|SiCk0|^ is male or female or even human for that matter... ^|SiCk0|^ wears a different type of disguise at every show. ^|SiCk0|^ has been known to dress as an old man, an old woman, an astronaut, Abe Lincoln, Alf, a baby..."This is an entity that describes their music as sounding like killing babies and claims influences so profound as self inflicted torture on their MySpace page. I wouldn't agree with a description of Sickness Volume Four as sounding like "killing babies", maybe this applies more so to ^^'s earlier work. What we have in this album is something very cool and at least to my music collection, unique.I'm not going to mince around genres too much, Sickness is what it is. Think of the spectrum of experimental and electronic genres out there - dissected and fused, not in a hack'n slash or copy and past way but with meticulous care and ingenuity. If you need a more concrete ... 

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Spirit gets. Spirit put simply is one of Jewel's best CDs to date.It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn't a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.Jewel possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with her talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It's quite simply great listening. A must buy if you're even mildly into Pop music.While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - What's Simple Is True, track 9 - Enter From The East, and gt3My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore is track 1 - Deep Water. Outstanding!Spirit Release Notes:Jewel originally released Spirit on November 17, 1998 on the ... 

The extremely talented Rock artist Gillian Welch has released her latest CD on the Acony Records recording label, entitled Soul Journey.I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist 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 Soul Journey. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.Soul Journey is a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.Overall Soul Journey is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular ...
