SET: 01
Staring
off today's program is a really powerful set of Pop music to lift your spirits
and start the emotive holiday dance with your soul.
From
Lancaster UK, Lake Komo opens the show with “ThinkTank” taken from their
November 2015 EP “Ritual”.
Lake
Komo’s “ThinkTank” is a feel good pop tune that carries an infectious sound and
lyric to help the listener escape the insanity of today’s world. A Really good
tune and a positive energy driver.
“Turnover”
from Virginia Beach follows with “Humming” taken from their 2015 album
“Peripheral Vision”.
“Humming”
is a dream pop song that expresses the love struck soul’s infatuation and
attraction to the carefree and creative individual who lives in an inviting
world of their own personal creation. A perfect Dream Pop song in sound and
lyric.
Two Wounded Birds follows with “If Only We
Remain” taken from their self titled 2012 album “Two Wounded Birds”. “If Only
We Remain” is a truly empathic song about the feelings one has when losing
someone close, where you find your emotions in free fall, feeling weak at the
knees, and feeling the young vulnerable child inside. A 5 star Euphoric Pop
tune that is emotionally packed by the delivery of two wounded birds.
Closing the set is Seattle Washington’s “Ivan
& Alyosha” with “Running for Cover” taken from their Feb 2013 album “All
the Times We Had”.
“Running for Cover” is about trying to make
sense of life while walking the straight and narrow path after mankind’s fall
from paradise, told through an infectious Pop music and lyric and One of many
great tunes by “Ivan and Alyosha”.
And so, here are “Lake Komo” “Turnover”
“Two Wounded Birds” and “Ivan & Alyosha”…a soul moving set of music, on the
Minstral Show.
SET: 02
South
Africa’s “Gavin Coetzee” starts off the second set with “Cinderella” taken from
his 2011 album “Orange Forest”. Cinderella is an infectious alternative rock
song with a South African vocal beat that breathes life into the atmosphere
around you…it’s hard not to move or tap along with this song…a great tune by
Gavin Coetzee”
Chicago’s
“Secret Colours” follows with the title track to their 2014 album “Positive
Distraction”. A neo-psychedelic pop rock tune that is as unique and as crisp as
a standout song can be. Good music by a great band.
Next, alternative /
Psychedelic Rock Band “The Outs” from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, follow with
“Right or Wrong” taken from their official 2013 debut EP “Spiral Steams” The
song brings to mind the 60’s psychedelic pop era bands such as The Byrds and
The Zombies which of course concurs with the rave reviews they received on
British Radio stations when it was released. Right or Wrong by the Outs.
California Band, “The Spires”
follow with “Stereo Images” taken from their May 2018 album “Obscured View” an
alternative Rock / neo-psych tune with creatively poetic lyrics that reminds me
of “The Velvet Underground”. Their fresh original cuts speak volumes to just
how good this band is…stereo images is more than ok, its right on.
And so, Cinderella is a Positive Distraction, Right or Wrong, its in
Stereo Images, on the Minstral show.
SET: 03
Starting off the final set is London UK’s Mike
Weston better known as “Adult Cinema” with “Time Machine” taken from his 2018
remastered version of his 2007 debut album “This Is Your Life”. The opening
lyrics express the song perfectly,
“Everyday I wish for a time machine to Take
me back to the day, When the music and houses and people Had style and beauty…but
they’ve taken it all away…”
A common observation and belief by a great
many people who experienced better times compared to the world in which we are
stuck in today. An excellent and very relevant tune by “Adult Cinema”.
Lunatic
Soul follows with the title track from his May 2018 album “Under the Fragmented
Sky”. The album contains 35 minutes of completely new, previously unreleased
music from the Fractured album sessions that, in its way, has its own identity
and character but also compliments the character of the Fractured album…”Under
the Fragmented Sky is another excellent album by Muriusz Duda.
From
Vancouver BC Canada, “Painted Coda” follows with “Dawn” taken from his May 2018
album “The Vanishing”. The album is a progressive rock album that touches on
themes of loss and depression and experiments with the classic and hard rock
generations of the genre. “Dawn” reminds me of the music composed by Paul
Williams that’s played by character “Winslow Leach” in the movie, “Phantom of
the Paradise” a cult classic and a favorite of mine from the 70’s.
Refracted
Memories closes the show with “Visions of Nineveh” taken from their 2015 album
“Stepping Stones”. Refracted Memories is a collaboration between Welsh producer
Michael Wadlow, American producer Jack Morefield, and singer songwriter Jay
Arana. Their song “Visions of Nineveh” rolls into consciousness like a
prophetic thought draped in fog from a forgotten time to round out a set of
music that is progressive rock in every way.
