Gary Marx - Nineteen Ninety Five And Nowhere

Gary Marx - Nineteen Ninety Five And Nowhere (2007)
D-Monic

I've listened to post-goth this week as well. If you don't know who Gary Marx is then here's a question for you: Have you noticed the change in sound between Sisters Of Mercy's debute album "First And Last And Always" and the follow up "Floodland"? Yes, that's right - where are the guitars? Ok, I know the whole band exept for Andrew Eldrich left, but the only one that mattered to me was Gary Marx. This album consists of songs for a possible 1995 reuninion of Sisters Of Mercy that never happened. Great stuff!

Cryo - Mixed Emotions EP

Cryo - Mixed Emotions EP
(2007) Progress

I recieved Cryo's new CD "Hidden Aggression" yesterday and I'm somewhat disappointed by it. Hopefully it will grow on me. I had expected it to be more like this EP - Cryo's best work so far! Once again I'm expressing my love for the EP format. Just keep releasing EP's and I will live happy ever after...
Anyway, this record contains three extraordinary tracks "My Wall", "Inhale/Exhale", "Freedom", some remixes and a Front 242 cover "Body To Body"!

(2007) Demolition

This is a perfect example of how I think an album should  be. Nine songs and just above 40 minutes of great songs. I really like artist that concentrates on quality. Why would I want a 70+ minutes CD when I only will listen to three songs? I don't care that Blackie seems to be thinking that he has an important message to tell us listeners, nowadays. I think he should go back to throwing raw meat and leave the politics. Otherwise I think he's going to end up like Sting - only slightly more dangerous. Just my two cents...

Johnny Cash - God Love Murder Life

Johnny Cash -
God Love Murder Life
4CD (2007)
Sony BMG

This box was originally released in 2000 as a 3CD set. The tracklist for the forth CD "Life" was completed just days before Johnny passed away in 2007.
My favourite CD is, of course, the third "Murder". But I like the whole box. It contains a lot of tracks not usually included on Johnny Cash-samplers. I also like the idea of four CD's with songs of four different themes. Too bad they forgot a travelling/train theme, because Johnny's songs about trains are among his best!
