The RA-6600 | Indiana Lights

A new album has emerged from the musical magic of RA-6600. The sultans of vintage sound have just released their new album, "Indiana Lights."  The album has a 60's vibe that resonates on the same mood as the early Beatles albums. The intimate mood of just the drums and piano pull you into the emotion of the music. As you listen to the album from beginning to end, you experience the emotional turbulence of falling in love. 

The raw feeling of the recordings just simplifies your stress and brings you back to your roots. The space in the music is organic and is free from the over-produced modern music epidemic. Purity is a rare gem in this effects saturated music industry. It is a welcome relief to have new music crafted in the art of the old styles. Relax and 'runaway' with the RA-6600. Let the music carry you away to a calm and peaceful state of mind. 

The track, "Walk into the Air" could be the best track on the album. It reminds me of so many of the old vinyl albums that my father would listen to back in the day. That's what makes music great! Being able to stir up emotions and bring back fond memories is why music can reach deep into our souls and remind us of the past. Hats off to the RA-6600 for being genuine and giving us this masterpiece of new sound dripping with the excellence of the old sound.

STV | Hidden In The Dark

STV has released a new single and it is every bit as good as expected. STV has formulated a new craft of sound that leaves a lasting impression on the world.

Music can be deeply emotional and connect to the psyche of the human soul. STV's new track, "Hidden in the Dark," has the elements that make you replay the music over and over in your head. The track has the undertones of Nine Inch Nails with the class and elegance of David Bowie's vocal approach. There is space and depth in the music that has vast landscapes of imagination.

Red Martian | Slow Motion Samurai

Seattle has a booming music scene and one of the bands that is making headway is Red Martian. The new album, SLOW MOTION SAMURAI, is just another crowning achievement for the seasoned musicians.

The album is like a fine martini that has been shaken, not stirred. There are tones of elegance in the vintage riffs of the guitars. Yet, the album has a remarkably strong modern feel to the composition of the music. Just as bands like Weezer broke ground on establishing a new style of an already popular genre, so does Red Martian take the listener to new heights.

The avant-garde emotion of the album kept me in another frame of mind as each track pulled a new emotion from my consciousness. I like music to travel and move me from the mundane repetition of everyday life. I really like the journey that SLOW MOTION SAMURAI takes me on when I get a moment to zone-out and just sink into the music. A great album for driving, entertaining guests, or just chilling on the beach watching the waves roll in. My favorite track on the album is track #2, Emeraldas. It has a classic sound of the 1970's with the drive and power of modern rock.

SLOW MOTION SAMURAI is currently available for only $6 on Bandcamp.  Go and listen to the album for free on the Bandcamp page. Support musicians by purchasing their music. This is an album that is worthy of multiple plays on your stereo.

The New Position | NOT

Emerging from the carnage of over-saturated media is a difficult thing to do. With so many online radio stations and mobile apps that are streaming music non-stop to the public, it can be very difficult to find good music. I've created this blog to feature some of the musicians that you may have missed in the shuffle.

One band that rises to the top of my list as one of the greatest unknown bands is THE NEW POSITION. As a child of the late 80's and early 90's, I grew up listening to some of the most influential hard rock and alternative music that has shaped our modern society. Bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Metallica are all staples of what paved the way for modern contemporary rock music.

TNP has reinvented the simplicity of heavy rock music with the delicate touch of female vocals. TNP's music of heavy guitar riffs that shred your soul and drum beats that kick you into next week are what lay the foundation for this impressive trio.

Modest Goddess layers her thought provoking vocals over this hard rock music with such grace and elegance. Lyrics that get stuck in your head are the best kind because they strike a chord with your soul. MG's lyrics and vocal talent are not to be over-looked. This band is a hidden gem in the mass confusion of today's music industry. I predict it is only a matter of time before TNP becomes world famous and takes the crown as the reigning hard rock band of this coming decade.

Bruce Cohen | Blue Stomp

New music is here and this go around I'm listening to Bruce Cohen. The first single, Blue Stomp, from the album THREE BC is an eclectic amalgamation of digital synths and a solid back beat of drums & bass.

Somewhere between the ethereal trance of Pink Floyd's musical magic and the sounds of nature that surround us everyday you will find the music of Bruce Cohen. The rhythm keeps you moving and pulls you into the next moment in time. The combination of man and machine have found a state of harmony that pleases the ear.
