5.0 out of 5 stars So well done, a diverse sonic work of art!! CLASSY!!!, Jan 24 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Seven (Audio CD)
Well friendly readers, if you're adventurous with your music, this one's for you! What a diverse album! This is all original studio work from the legendary DJ Cam. An electronic album that is quite difficult to define really, it has numerous elements to it. A downtempo/chill album with jazzy/hip hop flavour, amazing vocals, and creative soundscapes that are both classy and good for the soul. There's even classical elements and at times I almost felt a "pink floyd" type area.. This is a fantastic album, highly recommended, don't sleep you want this in your life! Monsieur Cam, you spoil us with your genius, merci beaucoup.. Above all, ENJOY!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The year in review all in one sweet package!!, Dec 26 2012
This review is from: THE ANNUAL 2013 (Audio CD)
I have been following the Annual for almost 15 years now, some years are better than others, but I've NEVER had a year that I felt that I didn't get my money's worth.. This year is an awesome compilation of 3 discs pretty much carpet bombing some of the best tracks of last year, great track selection, well mixed, and a must have for electronic fans! This was a huge year and this compilation does a great job covering different genres/styles that are happening right now, highly recommended, enjoy!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Yet another volume of great music, love that feeling!!, Dec 13 2012
This review is from: Songs of Anarchy: Vol.2 (Audio CD)
Well friendly readers, we all know volume 1 was amazing, I'm here to let you know that volume 2 is equally as good! After a tough day on the rig, I have this on in my truck and it just makes life a little better for me. It's soulful and deep, yet rocking and musical, it has that driving a motorcycle in the summer at night feeling, and I'm loving it! So will you, excellent soundtrack of real music for real people to enjoy!! Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip hop album of the year 2012!! Just awesome.., Nov 24 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This album has it all, great lyrics/ flow from Ali, fantastic beats from Jake One! The reason I gave it album of the year though is because of it's intelligent, insightful social context. Brother Ali has truly brought something special here, you can easily feel the range of emotions on this album, love, hate, frustration, anger, disappointment, yet an overall sense of hope for the future! This album is deep, however, Ali spits forward his message clearly without coming off as preachy, which I think is pretty awesome! Alot of americans are pissed off because of this album, obviously the cover doesn't help, however, I personally feel that they're missing the true message of the album, one of love, change, and hope. Highly recommended, enjoy..

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the year 2012! FREAKING GENIUS!!!, Nov 23 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The shame about this album is very few people will ever hear it! Good for you friendly reader to EVEN know who Wax Tailor is!! This album is pretty much the most original, diverse, creative release I've heard in at least a decade. Trust me, I listen to so much music you wouldn't possibly believe me! Anyways, this is a movie soundtrack, it's a children's story book, it's a hip hop album, it's a jazz album, it's a chill/ downtempo album, etc. I don't know how to EVEN explain the dynamics going on in this project! PLEASE do yourself a favour and buy this album, your life will actually be a little better after hearing it!! It's full on mad scientist GENIUS!!! Don't be shy either, tell others because they need to hear it too.. ENJOY!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Original, creative, a canadian genius at work!!, Nov 23 2012
This is such a fun album, what surprises me the most though, is how broad of audience that this album will appeal to. Dj/ turntable fans, mash up fans, even the traditional 60 year old blues fans will appreciate what Kid Koala has done here! It's timeless and classic, yet innovative and fresh, a wonderful soundscape to make ears happy! My only complaint is that I wish it had been a little longer, either way though, a creative stroke of brilliance, highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, I love their sound/ feeling.. What a groove!!, Nov 21 2012
This review is from: Head Down (Audio CD)
It all started for me with "Pressure and Time", a fantastic album that I'm still playing frequently.. This follow up is equally awesome, just a great band, tight as hell, great instrumentation! Just an all around solid rock band, which is surprisingly hard to find these days! I'm loving this band/album, and I have no doubt that you will too!! Highly recommended, enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, best vocals I've heard since Amy Winehouse..,, Nov 21 2012
I really liked "Born To Die" but I have to admit that Paradise is just over the top! Her lyrics/ singing style are incredible, just hauntingly, disturbingly, amazing. So unique, I haven't heard something so "polar" in a long while, so vile, yet beautiful, so innocent, yet corrupt. I'm sure you get my point.. Either way, this album is a HUGE treat to me, and I have it in heavy rotation and it just keeps getting better! This is no flash in the pan, there is serious talent here, this album has lots of staying power and a classic feel.. BUY BOTH ALBUMS SEPERATELY!! Highly recommended, enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate reunion that ACTUALLY delivered!! WOW!!!, Nov 21 2012
I've been hearing over the years how good this show was, I was skeptical.. To be honest, I bought a vinyl bootleg of this concert a few years back (at huge $$) and despite the average sound quality I was literally blown away!! The fact that this package is available in full blu-ray for my home theatre, plus I have the cd's for my truck while I'm away working, all in PRISTINE SOUND makes this a no brainer for me! The price for this collection, considering all the stuff you get is VERY REASONABLE!! An absolute must have for average to die hard Zeppelin fans! The awesome thing about this package is you rarely see 14 year olds and 64 year olds lining up to buy the same album! That was a weird line up folks, little awkward emo teens talking to adults about Zeppelin, can't say I didn't chuckle at that one!! Anyways, that is LED ZEPPELIN my friends, a power so strong it reminds you of when dinosaurs ruled the earth! The ULTIMATE superband that will never be seen again! This is the reunion, THE ONLY REUNION, it WON'T be done again.. EVER!! So buy it, enjoy it, and EVEN though years have passed, hair has turned to silver, and Jason Bonham is filling in for his dad (R.I.P John), it only takes a few minutes to realize that you're witnessing something MAGICAL and INCREDIBLE at the same time!! That power is Led Zeppelin my friends, the power and legacy of a band so huge that it will NEVER be replicated.. So enjoy.. It's freaking magic.. Highly recommended, this is the stocking stuffer EVERYBODY wants.. Have a good day, hope this helps..
