Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

One of the things that I love most about Lansing-Dreiden’s music is how well it synthesizes and replicates everything I love about music.

Foon and Cawdron’s compositions are worth comparing to modern classical outfits like The Balanescu Quartet and Gavin Bryars.

An incredibly immersive and overwhelming experience, especially when listened to on headphones.

It’ll be interesting to see how this disc holds up in a month, 6 months, a year.

Buchanan and his bandmates seem more interested in capturing the beauty and magic in life’s mundane details.

The album weds poetic, intelligent lyrics and lush arrangements.

I found this release interesting as a reminder of how far Christian music has come.

A mix of ambient and industrial that sounds interesting at times but never really comes together.

Derek Rush and crew do a good job of keeping the atmosphere tense without ramming it down your throat.

All in all, one of the best dance albums this year.

This album has a bit of a novelty factor to it, but it’s still really fun, and that’s all that matters.

Listening to any Patton project now is like Bobby McFerrin on crack.

The talent is clearly there, but they don’t make use of it on a large portion of the album.

Definitely an interesting listen, because I don’t really know of anything that sounds like this.

Steve Scott’s spoken word and ambient music is incredibly stimulating stuff, both mentally and spiritually.

The album is pop album first and foremost, in all of its unabashed glory.

These guys are still fairly young, so expect some good things to come from them.

Strongarm has some very insightful and powerful songs, lyrically and musically.

Electronic praise songs are what Antidote gives to a growing Christian dance scene.

Piano Magic’s music is as spectral and eerie as it is beautiful and enchanting.
