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

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

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.

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.

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’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
