A very polished group that knows thier instruments. Not only that they have all the tricks, voicings, effects and precision on time signatures. Harmonies are strong, compositions interesting and flowing. Everyone has plenty of room to stretch out musically. Instrumental portions versus vocals are balanced just right. Thirteen songs are featured that never fail to surprise, entertain, and melt you away. Some very fine progressive rock. John W. Patterson

"E-Motive" |
E - Motive "E - Motive"
New Jersey based E-Motive plays very old school- oriented prog, and plays it very well. Simialrities may be drawn to Van Der Graaf Generator, Hatfieild and the North and a smidgen of Nice. Similarities end there. This is highly original music showcasing the outstanding keyboard work of Frank Mc Glynn. A well developed band with great maturity and confidence. John A.

An electronic astral guitar treat. This is a 50 min plus instrumental piece.

"Top Secret Line" |
Rakatan "Top Secret Line"
Better living through rock and roll ! A great compilation of the best stuff from ten years of Melanie Ray and company. Hanging tough to original rock roots this band is the word rock from square one. Touching on the style of the Pretenders at times the backing band is always excellent and creative in style. Don’t expect an over production here either, the songs are kept rockin raw at all times with every bit of human feel left in the songs. A crying blue note and pop overtones make this good time nature loving band. Something very magical transpires on the cd in that in making songs for ten years you get good at it. Good rock sounds about life “in the wild”. $11.00

Subterra "The Speed Of Pain"
More often than not this group
headed by Howie Doyle on
vocals/guitar is compared to Neil
Young and Crazy Horse. An
honest approach to real life as an
alternative to rehashed pop folk
rock. Sit right back and listen to
why Dylan and Young became
legends. A golden throat is
nowhere in sight but you should
care less because the message of
humanity is the beauty here in that
it makes the heart beat. |
