Overview - The Final Cut, Pink Floyd’s final record with Roger Waters, is truly an album that’s dominated by Waters himself. He sings lead on every track except one, where Gilmour sings lead on, and to be honest - just about every track on here is carried by him …

This tenor is off the chart! I saw Yu Qiang Dai perform with the Los Angeles Opera in Puccini’s opera Turandot and immediately after I purchased his first CD. He has a powerful, rich voice and is an equal to a younger Pavarotti. This Chinese-born tenor sang Nessun Dorma …

When I first heard Phoenix’s new songs off of ‘Amadeus’ I found it to be absolutely amazing. My favorite tracks off it would have to be ‘Fences, and 1901′ the most popular tracks indeed. Although I found that after thorough listening, almost every song on the album began to …

Two years ago last boxing day I purchased my Fender ‘Diamond Anniversary’ American Stratocaster guitar. I believe I have owned the guitar long enough now to say I know how it plays, and to be able to fairly review it.
The Stratocaster is a very versatile guitar, as it is …

This album is impressive on several layers. Songs on this album are quite different from one another, and I would not say that I like all of them, all the types of songs that are there. But it is clear that none of the songs on the album are …
