TIM DELUXE featuring SIMON FRANKS - LET THE BEATS ROLL

Music Review by Neil Sadler

Loud, beaty and repetitive. It all sounds a bit dated. This is the kind of song that needs to be in a club to make any sense at all – but even then I suspect that a good DJ would pick one of the superior mixes to the shouty

SYSTEMATIK - I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS

Single Review by EDF

Oh dear, the trend to give 1980’s power ballads a thumping dance makeover just continues on. Now the excuse for a bit of a boogie is to shake your tail feathers to this classic Foreigner track. The song slows down when the vocals kick in, then the trance beat takes

SYLVER - TURN THE TIDE

Single Review by Nigel A. Messenger

I first became aware of TURN THE TIDE by Sylver over a year ago whilst watching the German MTV channel and I have to say that it made an immediate impression, partly because of singer Silvy De Bie’s fantastic vocals.

The Airscape Radio Edit of the track really

SYLEENA JOHNSON - TONIGHT I'M GONNA LET GO

Single Review by EDF

Featuring Busta Rhymes and a few other suspects rapping here, this is Urban Soul at its best. Taken from her album CHAPTER 2:THE VOICE, Syleena delivers an Angie Stone style vocal. This is R&B at its slickest.

SWING OUT SISTER - WHERE OUR LOVE GROWS

Album Review by EDF

Eighteen years on from their debut album, Swing Out Sister’s latest album is business as usual. With their usual smooth jazzy-pop style, Swing Out Sister continues to make enjoyable music. Not that it is would ever be fashionable amongst the kids but this is geared for those with a wider

SVEN VATH - CONTACT

Album Review by Mark Bayross

The madly prolific German DJ and musician Sven Vath has never really been able to match the impact of his debut album, 1992′s ACCIDENT IN PARADISE. Whereas ACCIDENT successfully tapped into the trance / ambient vibe of the time, subsequent efforts like “THE HARLEQUIN, THE ROBOT AND THE BALLET

SURFEROSA - SHANGHAI MY HEART

Album Review by EDF

When a band describe themselves as punkish, I usually run to the hills. Luckily Surferosa, a Norwegian synth-punk band, give out an energy and attitude that would have sat nicely with those spiky haired punks from the late 1970’s. The band toured with Electric 6 a little while back where

SURFEROSA - LUCKY LIPSTICK

Single Review by EDF

Norwegian synth-punk band Surferosa is a little bit like a female version Electric 6, who they supported on tour in November 2003. Imagine the sort of energy that came from 1970’s punk groups and you will have a fair idea of what this is like. No wonder Mariann, the lead

SUPERTRAMP - SLOW MOTION

Album Review by Dr Kuma

Supertramp’s latest release SLOW MOTION is the band’s first new recording in 5 years. Fans will know all there is to know about the group, whilst the rest of the public will only know a couple of the radio friendly singles which include THE LOGICAL SONG and BREAKFAST IN
