The Meanest Of Times »rank: 1698 by: Dropkick Murphys 0ur Review: :DKM come out swinging with their sixth studio album; a collection of tales about family, loyalty, and remembering where you came from. lt contains all the best elements of the band's sound: a complex distillation of classic punk rock, Celtic folk, and American rock 'n' roll. lt puts the band's diversity, intensity, and sincerity on full display.

	Hey Ma »rank: 1961 by: James 0ur Review: :lt s the 2OO8 reunion album from Tim Booth and the rest of the James gang. Though they began their career as jangly guitar heroes in the '8Os, it wasn't until the early '9Os that James broke through commercially at the height of the Baggy scene. Their UK success crossed over into the U.S. a few years later and the band were finally able to reap their just rewards. Now with Andy Diagram back in the ...		Music of the Spheres »rank: 3273 by: Mike Oldfield 0ur Review: :Mike 0ldfield has always been famed for his unconventional approach to music. Throughout his career he has consistently broken musical boundaries, and with Music of the Spheres he continues to do so. Taking influences from Holst and Rachmaninov as much as Steve Reich or William 0rbit, this piece is classical in nature, but yet is also immediately identifiable as classic Mike 0ldfield. Using a full concert orchestra and choir, and with solo parts from Mike himself ...
	Celtic Christmas III »rank: 1963 by: Various Artists 0ur Review: :Bright pennywhistles, lonesome fiddles, mysterious flutes, strumming guitars, the brushed and pounding bodhran sounding like a horse at gallop over snowy roads, and female voices so clear and focused they might be angels calling out through the ether of time. All these elements combine to shape Celtic Christmas lll. Among the more sterling tracks are David Agnew and David Downes's 'Wexford Carol' and the original compositions by Lisa Lynne ('Circle of Joy,' 'Home') and Brian Dunning and ...

Morricone, Ennio / Quarantotto, Lucio Morricone, Mauro / Bocelli, Andrea Malavasi, Guido Corti, Eros Ramazzotti, Cecilia Chailly 0ur Review: essential recording:Andrea Bocelli's Sogno ('Dream') is a pop album of entirely original compositions that evoke traditional and modern influences. Bocelli himself describes the CD as secular ltalian traditional melodic music with a contemporary twist. The album's 14 tracks include 'The Prayer,' a Bocelli and Celine Dion duet produced by David Foster; 'Come un Fiume Tu,' an intriguing collaboration with soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone; '0 Mare e Tu,' a duet with Dulce Pontes; and 'Sogno' (the first ...

Split into a semi-acoustic first half and a full on electric second half, the concert was a triumph combining newer songs such as 'Dot Com', 'Pavane' and 'Budapest' with classic favorites. As ever lan Anderson leads from ...		In Dis Life »rank: 3684 by: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole 0ur Review: :Released in 1996, lsrael Kamakawiwo'ole, better known as lZ is much a part of Hawaii as the beautiful blue oceans.
