Musical fusion is powerful. It can bring you through many different moods and feelings through the varied musical expressions the artists create. It can be uplifting, sorrowful, joyful, angry - the list goes on and on. It’s made a huge difference in the way I listen and create music.
Imagine putting together jazz, rock, Eastern music, […]
Starting this summer, people shall have the chance to witness four geniuses reunite and play some of the best jazz fusion the world has ever seen. Al di Meola, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White – the band Return to Forever – have come together once again to dominate audiences worldwide. Return to Forever’s […]
1. The Doors – L.A. Woman: The Doors’ music is dark, mysterious and unpredictable. They are also, in my opinion, the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band to ever walk the face of the earth. My obsession with the Doors began a few years ago when I bought their greatest hits album. Their music hit me […]
11. Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV: “Stairway To Heaven” became the rock ‘n’ roll song that everyone wish they wrote. But for me – it was the whole album, every single song on Led Zeppelin IV. Not only did it make me a Zeppelin-head, it made me wish I had Jimmy Page’s fingers. It […]
Meshuggah’s new album is truly a work of art. Every song stands out on its own and has something different to offer. I would say that the specific sound of the album would be a mix of ALL their albums. The insane tempo switches and ever-changing time signature sound from “Chaosphere” is there. The absolute […]

My choice was between Pink Floyd’s “Meddle” and their other album “Wish You Were Here.” I can never pick my favorite Floyd song – “Echoes” or “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” But […]

They have now extended the tour with added shows in Los Angeles and many other cities. They shall be joined […]
1. Dream Theater – Scenes From A Memory: If you have to own at least one Progressive Metal album, let it be Scenes From A Memory. It’s a brilliant concept album and it could possibly be the best progressive metal album of all time. Once you start listening to the album, there is no […]
Genghis Tron has no drummer and no bassist. But what they lack in instruments they make up for in intensity. A keyboardist/drum programmer, vocalist/keyboardist and guitarist/drum programmer make up the mighty Genghis Tron. Their sound consists of metal, grindcore, electronic music with progressive tendencies. Their second album - Board Up the House, which came out […]
“Recorded with 100% solar energy.” This is the phrase that appears at the back of the cover of Jack Johnson’s new album “Sleep Through The Static.” The surf-rocker’s album, his fourth, has a very mellow and laid-back feel to it that it makes you want to sit somewhere very comfortable, put up your feet, close your […]
