TOTO - THE ESSENTIAL TOTO
TOTO "The Essential TOTO" Album Review
If you like to go back in time, this is it.
I was lucky to see this group in concert this summer. That wasn't enough for me, as I had to buy their CD as well. It took me back to my high school years. I'm 57 but still enjoy reliving the music of my yester years. It's a real joy to go back and listen to the music I grew up with and not just once but over and over. My daughter gets a kick out listening to what I grew up with and even asks to borrow some of my CD's from my high school days. I have bought others from back then, as the music is so different from what you hear now and I am enjoying the memories from when I was in my teens.
HAWKWIND - DISTANT HORIZONS
Hawkwind "Distant Horizons" Album Review
Hawkwind - 'Distant Horizons' (EBS)
Decent late '90's effort by the band,which at the time included Brock,Ron Tree,drummer Richard Chadwick and new(at the time)guitarist Jerry Richards.Believe me,Richards fits in rather well with Hawkwind.'Distant Horizons' is their follow-up to their 'Alien 4' disc(see my review).Remember I had a tough time getting a copy of this CD.More in the direction of hard rock perhaps than 'space rock' but 'Distant...' does have it's moments.Like the gem "Phetamine Street",the semi-heavy "Alchemy","Reptoid Vision","Wheels"(sounds good live,heard a bootleg of a US show with this track)and the techno-like "Taxi For Max".Good,just not great.
HENRY PAUL BAND - ANYTIME
Henry Paul Band "Anytime" Album Review
Blah
Ok. I was a huge fan of the first CD and the second album was not too bad. After that, the band seems to have lost something. I miss the Country Rock influences of Jim Fish on guitar in particular. Plus his background vocals seem better in my opinion. They just didn't seem the same with out him. I just couldn't get into this album. It was the last Henry Paul Band album I listened to!
