Corm – Audio Plane Kit (CD)

Almost like the metal put forth by Hydra Head, the opening to “Audio Flame Kit” really expands on the mentality of Corm before really brining in a simple indie or rock set of vocals. Essentially, one can look into the osuls of these individuals, who would eventually become Q and not U, The Elusive and The Maginot Line. The drums finally come in in a major way during “Architecture”, really expanding a simple formula for the Fugazi meets Replacements sound of Alex’s voice.The almost dance tone of

The Council – Demonstration (CD)
There is a wonderful beginning to this Demonstration cd, as a shrill guitar solo goes into a rough metal delivery, with the influence of old Fear Factory, Coal Chamber, and Clutch to provide the listeners with an excellent moshing album. The contrasting use of guitars in the cd work better with the changing odf tempos. While both of the guitars are clearly heard, the bass is concealed through a double layer of guitars and drums.

Gossip for Men (And Women)
Gossip by Music For Men Sony Music Review by Siva Chandran There are some dance gems that stubbornly wont go away - C+C Music Factory’s “Everybody Dance Now”, Deelite’s Groove is in your heart”, Robin S’s “Show Me Love”, and Stardust’s “Music Sounds Better Than You”. Now, Gossip’s “Heavy Cross” is set to cross over and join these dance luminaries into the corridors of timeless dance classics.

The Cooper Temple Clause – Kick Up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose (CD)
The Cooper Temple Clause has no idea that brevity is a good thing, with their average song being over five and a half minutes. As such, Loose doesn’t have songs as much as it has pieces with individual movements, demarcated when The CTC decide to go on a different tack. The Spartanness of the beginning of “Talking to a Brick Wall” moves into a Placebo/Oasis style of vocals, supplied by Ben; the entire track seems to me to be an aural rehash of Fiona Apple’s “Criminal”, down to the distorted drum
