Bang Gang
Z czym się kojarzy Polakom Islandia? Z gejzerami i krańcem Europy. Może dzięki koncertom Bang Gang zacznie się kojarzyć z dobrą muzyką alternatywną. ...
Winehouse Amy

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - CSNY/Deja Vu Live
Artist: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Review: The highlight of this soundtrack to CSNY: Déjà Vu, Neil Young's film about the group's 2006 Freedom of Speech Tour, comes after Young sings "Let's Impeach the President" to an Atlanta audience that suddenly divides like Congress, equally booing and cheering. The performance proves that material from Young's Living With War, an indictment of the Bush regime, wasn't just aimed at the converted. Young's songs are the true rocket-launchers on Déjà Vu Live. His squiggly guitar blasts also act as the... Rating: 3 Stars

Mattafix, Rhythm & Hymns
This has its share of pop hooks, but attempts to square this with Mattafix's world music sympathies don?t always come off.
Chemical Brothers
Pewnego razu, w 1989 roku w Manchesterze, dwójka zafascynowanych hip-hopem i muzyką house studentów wydziału historii postanowiła zająć się DJ-owaniem....
Roy Orbison - The Soul of Rock & Roll
Artist: Roy Orbison Review: Roy Orbison was a superhero of song. Unassuming in appearance, he became someone extraordinary when his weeping tenor took flight, rising from deep, dark places on anguished ballads like "Only the Lonely" and "Crying." Orbison rebuilt the stark balladry of Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" as a jukebox opera house, expanded rock's arrangement limitations, and opened a door to Phil Spector and Freddie Mercury alike. This 107-track box captures Orbison's Fifties rockabilly beginnings on its first... Rating: 5 Stars
The Zutons, You Can Do Anything
The Zutons are, you'll be relieved to know, on fine form.
Coleman Steve
Steve Coleman to twórca M-Base, koncepcji, która wywołała spore poruszenie (a może nawet małą rewolucję) w jazzie lat 80. Alcista nie spoczął jednak na laurach i w następnych dekadach rozwinął swe muzyczne wizje....
Foals - Antidotes
Artist: Foals Review: For their adventurous debut, this Oxford quintet recorded with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek; the schizophrenic result is both twenty-first-century Brit pop (see Bloc Party) and nuevo New York art rock (see Battles). On "Electric Bloom," the combination is magic: Interlocking guitars and glints of electro-metallic percussion swarm around intimations of disaster, with maybe the most compelling enunciation of the word "hospital" since the first Modern Lovers LP. Later, a metronomic guitar... Rating: 3.5 Stars
James Hunter, The Hard Way
More blues, maybe? More twanging rock'n'roll, perchance?
Silver Jews, Lookout Mountain Lookout Sea
Perhaps it's enough to say that this is the best album to come out of Tennessee this year; indeed possibly the world.
dEUS, Vantage Point
This might even be the thin edge of the wedge that heralds the return of prog rock.
Variete
Na początku był chaos. W 1983 roku w Bydgoszczy z tego chaosu wyłoniła się grupa ZyZyZy, która szybko zmieniła nazwę na Variété est Morte, czyli "różnorodność umarła"....

Vanessa Hudgens - Identified
Artist: Vanessa Hudgens Review: History teaches us not to dismiss kiddie pop. Stevie Wonder was once Little Stevie Wonder, just as Lil Wayne was once little Lil Wayne, child gangsta rapper. And let's not forget ex-Mouseketeers Britney and Justin. Purists disdain teenybopper music as cynical pap, foisted on the young by Svengalis who lurk in the shadows, counting money. But bubblegum can be a great farm system, honing skills that pay dividends in later life. Lately, Disney's kiddie pop has been plenty profitable, with High... Rating: 3 Stars
O.A.R. - All Sides
Artist: O.A.R. Review: Like fellow jam bands Phish and Dispatch, O.A.R. have built an impressive fan base by touring incessantly and encouraging fans to trade bootlegs of their shows. That strategy has helped them sell over 1.4 million records and score headlining gigs at Madison Square Garden, and on their sixth album, they've cultivated a slick pop sound to match their arena-size ambitions. Produced by Matt Wallace (Maroon 5), All Sides features glossy modern-rock songs that range from sweeping ballads ("One Day,"... Rating: 2 Stars
The Sleeping Years, We're Becoming Islands One By One
Dale Grundle has written an album that is well paced and diverse enough to never quite cross the precarious line between gentle subtlety and dullness.
Old Crow Medicine Show - Tennessee Pusher
Artist: Old Crow Medicine Show Review: Old Crow Medicine Show aren't revivalists. They're anachronists. On their fourth full-length, produced by Don Was, the Nashville quartet mash up a well-nigh 19th-century sound — hopped-up folk, bluegrass, country and gospel — with lyrics that are firmly planted in the 21st century. "Huff paint, cocaine, playing chicken with a train/Smack dab, meth lab, mellow out, rehab," hoots Ketch Secor in "Alabama High-Test." Several songs cast a journalistic eye on hard partying, from the countr... Rating: 3.5 Stars
Róisín Murphy
Kobieta o niebanalnej urodzie i niepokornej duszy artystki, pochodząca z małego miasteczka Arklow na wschodnim wybrzeżu Irlandii, w 1994 r. spotyka na imprezie o 13 lat starszego producenta i muzyka Marka Brydona, którego uwagę przyciąga, pytając:...
