"Waterwheel" by Aoeria (Hard Rock Artist from New Nork)

Aoeria and their album "Waterwheel" spin a collection of heavy, gritty, yet straightforward collection of Alternative Rock songs. The opener, "Apocrypha" begins with an exotic explosion of drums and guitars before mellowing down to follow a steady bass line with strong and solid vocals. "Wonder" is more of a relaxed song, at least at first, as it focuses on guitar riffs and reflective vocals before sonic excitement takes over. In "Imminent" we find enlivened drums and guitars keeping up a quick pace in a real rocker of a song. This album is one that harks back to the days when Alternative music was filled with fervent guitars and powerful drumming, while still having its own completely unique feel to it. Fans of Smashing Pumpkins material and similar music should check out Aoeria's "Waterwheel."

"Return from Broken" by Matt Soren (Rock Artist from Utah)

Matt Soren's newest album is "Return from Broken." It is one in which Soren fuses intense Electronic and Psychedelic Rock techniques to present a very cutting-edge sounding album that was made after Soren's successful battle with addiction and recovery. In "Breathe" we hear an echoed and industrial-type beat interact with Soren's effected voice and dancing synth tones. "Become" is a complex and building song with a lot of electronic sounds moving in and out giving way to a more soothing sounding tonality. For "On the Edge" we hear Soren play a relatively simple song as he begins by playing on his acoustic guitar before more hallucinatory sounds slowly move in. This is an album that is best described as Psychedelic/Industrial Rock, where the traditional use of the guitar is abandoned for more industrial sounding effects. Fans of Nine Inch Nails or Muse would find themselves drawn to Matt Soren's album, "Return from Broken."

"Vision Of Dreams" is the newest album brought to us by UnS. It is an album of calm Electronic music that fuses Middle Eastern and Western sounds to create a relaxing collection of songs. For "Desert Rain" we hear a briskly calm beat as well as Middle Eastern musical tones combined with soothing chanting clips. "Just For You" is a more playful song with a kind of electronic funky beat with Arabic vocalization over it. "Africa" is a very calm piece in which African percussion is combined with Western style synth playing. UnS has given us a very eclectic mix of World musical influences and has put them to relatively relaxed electronic beats. If you enjoy World Music or simple Electronica, then sit back and relax to the music of "Vision Of Dreams" as it is an album well worth listening to.

"Walk Humbly" by Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising (Bluegrass Artist from Oregon)

"Walk Humbly" is the most recent album from Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising. It is a Christian music album that professes faith and love through the medium of bluegrass music. "Cast The First Stone" has a pleasantly rambling backwoods sound to it with crystal clear and spiritually inspiring lyrics. "I Ain't Afraid To Die" is a playful and swiftly paced bluegrass number with a message that if one has faith, death will no longer be a fear. "Faith Hope Bluegrass Music" is the song that best projects what this band is about, in a lively song that relies just on the strings of a guitar and mandolin with wonderful vocals/harmonies. This album is a collection of beautiful sounding traditional bluegrass songs that stand up on their own with the ever-present addition of a loving Christian message. If Christian music and bluegrass are two things you enjoy, then "Walk Humbly" is an album that needs to be in your collection immediately.

"The Place we're longing for" by Masha Stepina Trio (Jazz Artist from Japan)

The talented group, Masha Stepina Trio, and their terrific new album, "The Place We're Longing For," embrace the listener with mellow and mellifluous jazz pieces played on the piano, bass, and drums. "January" is a number in which the piano seems to affably dance in the air as the drums almost imperceptible hold a soft beat. "Belltower" is maybe the most energetic number as the piano frolics quickly along with a spirited rhythm section. For "Thin Tree" we find a very reserved and introspective song featuring the piano playing with an emotive voice of style and grace. This album is one that leans towards easy-listening, but is also an album for fans of diversified jazz piano music. If highly talented & contemplative jazz is something you appreciate, then "The Place We're Longing For" is an album that would be a great addition to your Jazz collection.

The enchanting album, "The House Jazz Concert Series, Vol. 1" by Dave Powers is a collection of Jazz songs played live - in Dave's house no less - by piano, guitar, and drums that have a vibrant, yet genially relaxed energy. "The 'In' Crowd" is a toe-tapping, foot-shuffling song with a soulful energy. "Jitterbug Waltz" is a mellow Jazz waltz with almost mysterious-sounding piano playing along with soft drum brushes and subtle guitar hits. For "Joy Spring" we have a softly spirited Jazz song in which the electric guitar delightfully takes the lead as the piano and drums create a sweet and colorful sound-scape. This album is filled with highly entertaining Jazz songs that definitely have the familiar feel of an impromptu performance while still being overtly professional. If you are a fan of Jazz piano in any form, then "The House Jazz Concert Series, Vol. 1." by Dave Powers is an album you would definitely enjoy.

Sunny Dawn Johnston's latest spoken word album is "Embracing the Body That Is - A guide to loving Yourself." Johnston had many negative experiences growing up dealing with her self body image and in this album she gives us an inspirational outlook that both tells the story of how she came to love and accept her body while instructing/inspiring others on how they can do the same. In "Sunny's Story - Part 1" we hear about Johnston's past and some of the reasons why the negative self images was instilled into her psyche, it is a story that many can relate to. In "10 Steps to Body Appreciation" we hear a list of 10 easy mental exercises that can help one deal with moments of insecurity and help deconstruct their patterns of negative self image. For "Body Meditation" Johnston leads us through an easy mental & body meditation, with calming background music, aimed at lowering stress and focusing the mind on the tasks at hand.

"LIGHT IT UP" by LIBERTY N' JUSTICE (Classic Rock Artist from United Kingdom)

Liberty N' Justice has a new album, and it is called "Light It Up." This album, unlike their previous, is a studio project with the talents of songwriter/lead-singer Justin Murr featuring guest artists on nearly every song, in an album loaded with 80's metal music that have subtle Christian undertones. "Treading On Serpents" is a pulsating heavy rock song with soaring lyrics as Murr implores his listeners to "come walk with me and tread on serpents!" "Best Time You Never Had" is a gritty hard-rock song, with grisly guitar sounds and intensely thumping drums leading the way. For "Greed" we hear how Murr can belt out powerful lyrics and do it well, in this tenacious song about the evils of greed. This album is created for those who love the sound and attitude of metal rock from the 1980's, and for those who can appreciate a Christian message as well. Musically, if you are a fan of Bon Jovi or Def Leppard then this is an album you would be thoroughly pleased with.
