One thing's for sure, Mary's still keeping it real.

The Raconteurs, Consolers Of The Lonely
Hardcore Stripes fans may bemoan the 'uncool' sheen of professionalism that coats this album, but this beats Icky Thump by a country mile.
Tricky
Świat usłyszał o Trickym w 1991 roku, gdy światło dzienne ujrzał kultowy debiut Massive Attack "Blue Lines". Kilka lat później był już w pełni samodzielnym artystą ? jednym z najbardziej wyrazistych na triphopowej scenie. ...
Maleńczuk Maciej
Niepokończone szkoły, niepozaczynane zawody, pobyt w więzieniu, granie na ulicach, przygody z narkotykami i parę kultowych płyt w dorobku to tylko kilka z punktów rock?n?rollowego CV Macieja Maleńczuka....
Motorpsycho, Little Lucid Moments
Little Lucid Moments is a relentless effort from a band making heroic guitar music for the young or dynamic.
Belle and Sebastian - The BBC Sessions
Artist: Belle and Sebastian Review: Fans of Belle and Sebastian's witty bookworm pop are an obsessive lot, and no doubt they'll snap up this cherry-picked collection of BBC recordings from 1996 to 2001. The draw for devotees is four rare songs from a 2001 session, including a hilarious fan letter to kindred indie-pop intellectuals the Go-Betweens ("Shoot the Sexual Athlete") and a kind of hushed farewell sung by Isobel Campbell, who left the group soon after ("Nothing in the Silence"). Otherwise, aside from a breezy glockenspiel... Rating: 3.5 Stars
Lili Marléne
?Ci faceci mają papiery na granie i powinni to bezwzględnie wykorzystać? powiedział Piotr Stelmach, a Anna Gacek dodaje: ?Tam, gdzie melancholia spotyka się z żalem, a z mnogości odgłosów wyłania się idealny dźwięk, tam odnajdziesz Lili Marléne?. ...
Sizzla, Journey: Very Best Of
The idiosyncratic and mercurial Bobo sing-jay Sizzla Kalonji is well overdue another retrospective.
Jenny Lewis - Acid Tounge
Artist: Jenny Lewis Review: This Rilo Kiley frontwoman is everything a mother could want in a daughter: She's bright, talented — and ready to slice 'n' dice anyone who's done Mom wrong. "In your honor, I'm going to cut that man in half," she wails in "Jack Killed Mom," an enigmatic domestic fable that segues from chugging rock to a revival-tent rave-up. Lewis is indie rock's most sharp-elbowed songwriter, a crafter of taut meditations on love, sex and politics that are full of violent emotions and, occasionally, plai... Rating: 4 Stars
Lucinda Williams - Little Honey
Artist: Lucinda Williams Review: "Is your death wish stronger than you are?" Lucinda Williams asks in "Little Rock Star," a cautionary song swathed in guitar noise that someone should instant-message to Pete Doherty, Ryan Adams and Amy Winehouse. While it shows that the 55-year-old barbed-wire country singer is wary of rock's trappings, Little Honey proves she's still crushed out on the music. On "Real Love," amid boogie-rock riffing, she alternately pledges her heart to a guy, a girl and an electric guitar. And "Honey Bee"... Rating: 4 Stars
Seal - Soul
Artist: Seal Review: Amy Winehouse, what hath thou wrought? In the wake of the Great Beehived One's world-beating success, it seems everyone is getting in touch with his or her retro-soul muse. The latest bandwagon-jumper is Seal — who, with megaproducer David Foster playing the part of Mark Ronson, has delivered a collection of classic-soul covers, dripping with melodrama and tricked out with swooping symphonic orchestration. Seal is a fine singer, whose flavorful tenor combines the smoothness of old-school... Rating: 2.5 Stars
Paul Weller, 22 Dreams
In one fell swoop he's thrown off his dour image, ushering in a host of new fans by delivering the best solo album of his career.
Martina Topley-Bird
W połowie lat 90. jej hipnotyzujący, unikatowy głos za sprawą płyt Tricky'ego znali wszyscy fani trip-hopu. Dziś Martina Topley-Bird to w pełni samodzielna artystka, realizująca własną wizję muzyki. ...
Toots and the Maytals, Light Your Light
Toots' voice sounds just as captivating as it did in the 60s.
Michael McDonald, Soul Speak
On this evidence his voice still has more than enough authority to carry it off.
The Futureheads, This Is Not The World
This Is Not the World will no doubt satisfy notoriously hardline Futureheads fans, but may struggle to recruit more.
Vandermark Ken
Ken Vandermark to absolutna ikona awangardy jazzu dnia dzisiejszego. Muzyk szalenie wielowymiarowy, a zarazem ze wszech miar oryginalny. Co nie mniej ważne - artysta aktywnie kreujący współczesną scenę. ...
T.Love
Grupa nagrywała swój debiutancki album w najlepszym wówczas studiu w Polsce - S4 w Warszawie przy ulicy Woronicza. Nie obyło się bez spięć, bowiem producentem materiału był Jerzy Regulski, pracujący wcześniej z Perfectem i Bajmem....
Van Morrison - Veedon Fleece
Artist: Van Morrison Review: By 1974, Van Morrison was probably exhausted. During the past ten years, the Irish troubadour had morphed from a garage rock king (as the leader of Them) to a pop hit machine to the craftsman of such landmark albums as Astral Weeks and Tupelo Honey. His eighth album, Veedon Fleece, hit stores in late 1974, shortly after the release of those instantly accessible masterpieces — and it was greeted by a collective shrug by the rock critical establishment. Time has proven them wrong. The album... Rating: 4 Stars
