Subj : My New CDs To : All From : Kevin Nunn Date : Fri Jun 08 2007 10:01 am A few weeks ago I did something I haven't done in a good while, ordered me some new CDs! :) I also ordered a Megadeth DVD, but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. That time might come this weekend. I got Megadeth's new United Abomination CD. I haven't really listened to it alot yet, but I am glad to say it is typical Dave Mustaine style music. Heavy sound, laden with double bass drum kicks, sticato heavey guitar, solid solos and Dave's signature voice. It is very refreshing to hear that style of music again. The main reason the Megadeth CD hasn't gotten much play is due to the other CD I purchased... It got ALOT of air time. Here is a "review" I posted on my myspace blog about the CD. In the last few weeks I finally spent a bit of money and got me some new Prog Rock (Progessive Rock) CDs to listen to. My Dream Theater and Spock's Beard Cds were getting worn out, so I decided it was time for something fresh. So, I ordered two Neal Morse CD's. Neal Morse was the front man for Spock's Beard for several years and now has ventured out on his own after he became a Christian. I have always been amazed at Spock's Beard's work and this new stuff from Neal is just plain amazing. I ordered his "?" CD and his "Sola Scriptura". "?" is great and it got alot of time in my CD player. But now that "Sola Scripture" has arrived, it is getting non-stop air play in my car, my home, my mp3 player, at work. etc :) With a total of 4 tracks on the CD, it's a rollercoaster ride through the history of Christianity, mainly the about the life of Martin Luther for whom the album is named. He employees the masterful drummer Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater and Paul Gilbert on guitar from RacerX and Mr. Big. His bass player is amazing as well and what is neat about his bass player, is that he is not really a bass player, but a guitar player for another Christian band, go figure :). Neal's amazing talent for composing and arranging music really stands out in Sola Scriptura. It's very inspirational, yet very groovey and addicting with some really complicated stuff in it. Never a dull moment! There is a fan that has a website here on my space for him at http://www.myspace.com/nealmorse. You can also check out http://www.nealmorse.com/ . If you are into progessive music, this is a must have! .... "Klingon bastard killed my son, doo-dah, doo-dah..." --- Telegard/2/QWK v3.09.g2-sp4/mL * Origin: Razor's Domain BBS (1:397/10) .
