This album is really among the strongest by the Toronto-based group. There are no real standout tracks, but that in itself is a bit of a tribute to the quality of all the material present here. The album is consistently good while showing off a wide variety of musical styles & influences. Max Webster was always a group that took mainstream rock leanings, threw in a healthy dose of progressive rock along with a sense of humor, & came out with something unique & quirky. Certainly that is wha ...

Max Webster was an unusual beast as bands go. They seemed to try for a sound that bordered on anthemic arena rock & progressive rock. However, the textures of the music made it feel like they just barely missed. The group had a sound that was quite quirky & off-kilter, while still trying for those more accessible rock sounds. This disc, their debut, certainly shows off all of those textures. The material ranges from hard-edged straightforward metal to rock ballads & fun, almost punky, terr ...

The Best of Me collects nearly all of Maxi Priests pre-1992 U.K. & U.S. singles, & results in a timeless, breezy, & thoroughly engaging album. Maxi Priest doesnt really tackle the heavy social themes that many of his reggae contemporaries do -- instead, he sings about love, life, & summertime (what, in other words, is known as "lovers rock"). Included here are nearly all of his U.K. hits, including " Strollin On, " " How Can We Ease the Pain, " " Peace Throughout the World, " & his cover ...

In 2008, I reached a point at which I was no longer able to find any satisfaction in my career. I felt that, since the decision I had taken seven years earlier to make music my profession, I had seldom been successful in expressing genuine emotion in concerts or studio recordings. I felt myself to be constricted in a corset of perfectionism & conventions – partly self-inflicted, partly dictated by outsiders. Retrospectively, I realized that a large part of what I had achieved on stage & in t ...

With MIRAGE OF BLISS, his seventh album, Hecker focuses on the eternal conflict between his yearning for love & intimacy, & his simultaneous desire for isolation; its the gnawing question of The Whereabouts Of Love, especially after it had seemingly become a reality (If Only I Could See & Heavenlies). Hecker may seem to be celebrating love in his songs, but in fact hes always on the run from it. Because love means inviting another one into his private world. But the way Hecker ...
