Jupiter Crash - The Skin Before the Art 2006 SINister Records Jupiter Crash's "The Skin Before the Art" is THE AWESOME.  I listened to this CD over and over and over again and I never got tired of it.  Dark rock at it's finest.  Every song is full of seductive qualities.  This is a CD to *blank* to. Selected tracks: Dark Surprise - Pulls you in.  Pounding rhythms Chaos Mind - Sexy vocals and guitars. Waiting for a Sign - Brings it down.  Slow and hypnotic Descent - Post punk 1st wave goth sounds ala The Cult Sinners and Losers - A touch of southern rock Too Much - A perfect closing song Home Page Myspace Page Buy at Amazon	Dan Pokorni - Guitarscapes 2006 Dan Pokomi The name of the album says exactly what you hear, guitarscapes.  No vocals, only guitars.  Layers and layers, from Celtic like songs to country twang. Shakir - Celtic quality Drivin' Without Lights - feels like driving in coverable with the top down. Night Spring - Darker element.  A guitar sings, you can almost hear the words. Stay on the INside - Images of cowboys sitting on a fence jamming What She's Thinking - Lullaby quality in which the guitar sings the lyrics. Buy at CD Baby
Zack Weber - Daydreams and Day Jobs 2006 Natas Records Incorporated Zack Weber is reminiscent REM, Bens Fold, and John Mayer with a touch of Coldplay.  Acoustic guitar rock with a touch of swing, a touch of jazz, a touch of hard rock.  The album starts quietly goes into something heavier, and ends on an upbeat note.  At 18, this kid has a lot of talent and I hope to see more of him in the future. Sleep - opens gently and ends in nice crescendo Words - The guitar here almost sounds like a ukulele. Softly swings. Lonely Butterfly - Lots of use of scales. sing-song quality. Ms Know-It-All -  another track that swings softly. In Your Head - If you like Coldplay, you will love this song. Famous - Starts softly and ends a little heavier in sound. Shoot For the Moon - Starts with a guitar solo then balloons into vocals that's a hybrid between Jimmy Page and Roger Water and end with something a little heavier Playground Rocks - A poppy jazzy tune with scat and clarinet.
