"LOVE” is a beautiful collection of melodic, soulful love songs selected from my first 4 solo CDs. It also includes 3 new tracks and a special bonus track especially written and recorded for Japan. The concept of the CD is to feature some of my favorite singers, songwriters and musicians I have had the honor of working with over the years, capture a bit of my solo history that features them, and release a few new songs to keep it fresh.
Here is what George Benson has to say about LOVE.
Janey Clewer might be a new name to you, but for those who have heard her sing and have been involved with her in the studio or live performances, know she is a one of a kind, romantic and dynamic story teller. She is one of my favorite vocalists. Her intonation is amazing. This record is loaded with greatness, such as Peter Cetera and Bill Champlin. I know you are going to enjoy it.- George Benson

Exceptional bass player and composer ALBERTO RIGONI surprised us last year with his very good CD 'Rebirth' (already presented in this blog), and now returns in the form of "Three Wise Monkeys", a brand new solo effort to be released on October 1st.

Member of TwinSpirits, Lady, The Bass and sessionist for Don Airey to name one, Alberto is rapidly gaining audience in the international progressive rock music scene for inventive genre-crossing compositions that paint alluring soundscapes comprehensible to wide varieties of listeners, yet artistically sophisticate and individualistic enough to sustain one's attention once gained.
For "Three Wise Monkeys" Rigoni has formulated a more commercial approach, going from melodic and progressive hard rockers to elaborated fusion-prog numbers, interspersing 5 instrumentals with 5 vocal tracks.

REIGN OF THOUGHT was originally conceived early in 2006 by founding members Matt Becker (guitar), Aaron Yerdon (guitar), and Shanna Becker (vocalist/violin/keyboard).

Like a visceral response to the mainstream, Reign of Thought fights back against the hum of the mediocre with their very own pandemonium of soaring melodies, powerful rhythms, complex composition, and dramatic storytelling. With the recent addition of members, Justin Merolla (drums), and Shawn Dandrew (bass), it is without a doubt that this is the beginning of an incredible adventure.

Hailing from New York’s Capital District, this five-piece groundbreaking progressive metal project has a variety of experiences and musical influences which culminate in an innovative sound and texture. Every NWS live show is a breathtaking experience for the senses. Their presence is dynamic; each member of the crowd taken on a journey in which they are part of the experience, and not just a member of the audience.

If you can get to something held at Rutherglen House just off Finders Lane, make sure you go. Last week this Melbourne venue-like-no-other played host to Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson launching Wreck and Ruin, the couple's newest collaborative CD which will be available in September (although can be purchased online at Sanity.com) Their follow up to 2008's Rattlin' Bones, Wreck and Ruin has every good thing about its platinum record breaking predecessor going for it. Between their natural and occasionally hilarious 'married banter' routine, the two performed a collection of world class songs penned during a retreat in a cabin on the Central coast. They opened opened with My Name is Adam, accompanying themselves on electric banjo (which they each made a point of learning for this CD ) and acoustic guitar.

Rheia does also orchestral compositions and programming in a professional way. If you're interested in these services please use the contact form.

Rheia is the creation of Swiss song-writing sound engineer and keyboardist Pascale Peng. Over the course of a couple of years she gradually recorded these songs with a cast of carefully chosen musicians. The band name she has chosen is taken from the Greek goddess Rheia (or Rhea), the daughter of the Earth, who gave birth to the Greek Pantheon of gods, including the rulers of Heaven and Hell, Zeus and Hades. However, this is not an concept album, and the lyrics are about a wide variety of topics. The closest I can get to describing her totally unique but hugely appealing music is try imagining a touch of Within Temptation symphonic metal being propelled along by The Cars' driving rhythms, then add OMD's synths and pop sensibilities, and finally top with Nena on vocals to

Helsinki, Finland-based gothic metallers THE 69 EYES are putting the finishing touches on their 10th studio album, "X", in Stockholm, Sweden for a late September release through RCA/Sony Music in Finland andNuclear Blast in the rest of Europe and North America. A single, "Red", will precede the full-length CD in August.
Commented THE 69 EYES lead singer Jyrki69: "The cover is pure goth 'n' roll: a psychedelic mirror image of old wild animal bones with our X-tagram projected over all. It's good, evil, magic and voodoo all together! Something to stare at when tripping on the album."

"X" was mixed by Stefan Boman (THE HELLACOPTERS, BULLET). "The sound is the most melodic, yet melancholic, we've ever had," saysJyrki69. "Listening to the pre-mixes have been giving goose bumps to everyone here. This is the best THE 69 EYES album ever done!"

Though organized in the early Eighties, California's Axehammer has had a spotty recording history. There first full-length album, Windrider, only arrived in 2005. Seven years later, they deliver Marching On, perhaps a title that reflects their perseverance.

Axehammer delivers basically no frills, straight up, American heavy and power metal. They've got a new lead singer in Kleber Mandrake, who sounds like a stranger mixture of Geddy Lee and young Halford. He can sing, scream, and hit those high notes with ease. However, sometimes his sustained higher notes can sound like a vibrato warble.

Guitarist/Singer Yvon Serre returns with arguably his strongest offering yet: the suggestively titled "On All 4's". Taking his trademark classic rock overtones, zingy pop melodies and bar room grit, and adding a big nod to his early days with bands like "Yvon Serre Groupe" and "The Harry Straight Band", On All 4's should sonically appease existing fans and newcomers alike.Mixing achingly catchy commercialism 'Can't Take Anymore', nigh-on Brit pop 'Chemicals', gnarly pop ' Cookin`', and chilled rock 'You Tonight' (co-written with Jon Wilde who runs this very website) with more besides, On All 4's puts the work of many bigger bands to shame with it's adrenaline, fun-factor and variety.
