Band : Warrior Soul
Country : USA
Release : Drugs,God And The New Republic
Year : 1991
Genre : Hard Rock
File Info : mp3 320

Info:

"Salutations from the Ghetto Nation" has got to be one of the best titles ever for a rock record. And Kory Clarke & Co. back that title up with one of their best efforts.
There are 12 blistering trax, 3 live bonus cuts (this is the '06 reissue on Escapi Music), and enough dirty rock n' roll to make your ears bleed. Not as political as "Last Decade Dead Century." Not as metallic as "Drugs, God & the New Republic." Not as experimental as "Chill Pill." Like a good lover, this record is just right!
'Love Destruction.' 'Blown,' 'Punk & Belligerent' and 'Ghetto Nation' are all heavy, electric and dynamic. The sounds on this record make you wanna brawl at the local dive bar, make love to your old lady and set the world on fire. All in all, another masterful release from the band that shoulda had it all and the man who shoulda been king. Warrior Soul 4ever!

1. Intro/Blue Tequila

3. This Way
4. Turn of the Screw
5. Five Easy Pieces

8. Oh,Ruby

Artist : Dirty Looks
Country : USA
Release : Live In San Diego
Year : 2005
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

The sound quality on this recording is top-notch and professionally put together. I've heard some of their bootlegs that sound like they were recorded with a tin can and a string. Well, this ain't one of those... The stand-out tracks on this one are "Turn of the screw" and "Nobody rides for free" as this recording breathes new life into those originals and dare I say they sound even better on this disc than what was relased on the Turn of the Screw album. It would be nice to hear some other tracks from that album as they were meant to heard (Go Away, L.A. Anna, etc). More live quality releases like this one would be welcomed indeed.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : RTZ
Artist Origin : USA
Release Title : Return To Zero

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Kansas
Country : USA
Release : In The Spirit Of Things
Year : 1988
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Definitely not in the traditional vein of the "classic Kansas sound". In the Spirit of Things was made in the late '80s, a time where '70s classic rock music simply wasn't happening... Notwithstanding, Kansas managed to come up with one of its best, yet more under-appreciated gems. Steve Walsh's soulful and pasionate singing combined with Steve Morse's guitar wizardry really made ITSOT a marvelous opus.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Kansas
Country : USA
Release : Power
Year : 1986
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Three years after Kansas's dissolution, original members Steve Walsh, Phil Ehart, and Richard Williams reformed by recruiting some new members. The result was Power, which was more suited to the 80's sound prevalent then, with more in common to Journey and Survivor's style rather than the days of "Dust In The Wind" or "Point of No Return."
The first single, "All I Wanted" was comparable to a mid-tempo Journey yearning love song laced with keyboards and pop sensibilities. It made the charts and the video led to a brief second wind.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Kansas
Country : USA
Release : Somewhere To Elsewhere
Year : 2000
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Kansas' 2000 album Somewhere to Elsewhere is notable because it's the first recording by the original six members in almost 20 years. Joining vocalist Steve Walsh, guitarist Richard Williams, vocalist/violinist Robby Steinhardt, longtime bassist Billy Greer, and drummer Phil Ehart are original guitarist/keyboardist Kerry Livgren and original bassist Dave Hope. Livgren wrote all ten songs. Somewhere to Elsewhere features the innovative dynamics, and long songs, of Kansas' early work while maintaining a crisply modern production sound.

Artist : Xciter

Release : Xciter
Year : 1979
Genre : Hard Rock

Info:

George Lynch's pre Dokken band Xciter

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Kansas
Country : USA
Release : King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents
Year : 1989
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Recorded at Philadelphia's Tower Theater on Valentine's Day 1989, King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents captures the latter-day Steve Morse lineup of Kansas -- and may even be a better way to get a representative idea of that group's sound than their somewhat uneven studio albums. This show dates from the supporting tour for In the Spirit of Things, the lineup's second album (Power being the first), and it captures the band in generally good form, although lead singer Steve Walsh's voice has begun to show signs of wear and tear. The newer songs are chosen and performed very well, and it's interesting to hear Morse weave his own flair into the classic hits from the old days. While not the definitive Kansas concert album, it's certainly a worthwhile one for fans.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Kansas
Country : USA
Release : Live At The Whisky
Year : 1992
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

This is a very rough recording, and, as has been noted, Walsh's vocals are not his best, but it's still commendable. However, it is definitely not on the same level as "Two For The Show" or "Device Voice Drum".
Kerry Livgren makes a "guest" appearance on "Dust In The Wind". I wonder if this was done just to give the album a bit of a push sales-wise..."Hey, Kerry Livgren's on it!"
There is also an old recording of the hard blues "Lonely Street" done with the original lineup, which is actually better than most of the rest of the album.
It's not horrible. Listening to it brings back good memories

TRACKLIST:

Band : Warrior Soul
Country : USA
Release : Destroy The War Machine
Year : 2009
Genre : Hard Rock
File Info : mp3 320

Info:

This CD is very very good. Old school sounding Warrior Soul with crystal clear production. Kory Clarke's raspy vocals make it sound even edgier and definitely more punk.
The tracks Pigs, Fourth Reich, Burning Bridges, Motor City, Bad News and Shes Glaswegian all sound as if they could have come straight after the 'Salutations' CD or Space Age Playboys. I love these song and could put my Warrior Soul files on my media player to 'Shuffle' and you would never know they didn't fit in the bands catalog. That is how good it really is. They sound great and revamped. The energy is there. So if you like the 'Soul, pick it up. No brainer. The quality and sound are excellent and it rocks hard.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Kansas
Country : USA
Release : Freaks Of Nature
Year : 1995
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

This is by far my favorite Kansas album if you don't include those Greatese Hits compilations. "Freaks" has an edgy feel with lots of tense, dramatic and sometimes dark overtones. But, above all, It really ROCKS. Everyone I have played it for likes it. I have been a Kansas fan for years, but this album gave me a whole new view of them

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Kansas
Country : USA
Release : White Clover Demos
Year : 1973
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

In 1970, Kerry Livgren and Phil Ehart combined their two separate bands (Saratoga and White Clover, respectively) into The Kansas Band -- which also included vocalists Lynn Meredith and Joel Warne, bassist Dave Hope, keyboardists Don Montre and Dan Wrifght, and saxophonist Larry Baker. Livgren and Ehart split the band up in 1971, however, and each pursued separate bands. Livgren and Meredith formed a new version of Kansas with Don Montre, Dan Wright, John Bolton, and two others, while Ehart reformed White Clover with bassist Dave Hope, guitarist Rich Williams, vocalist/songwriter Steve Walsh, and violinist Robby Steinhardt. Although his band recorded a demo tape in 1973, Ehart felt that White Clover needed a second songwriter to complement Walsh and invited Livgren to join the band; Livgren agreed. The band changed its name to Kansas, and was signed to Kirshner Records in 1974.

Fahrenheit is the sixth studio album by Toto, released in 1986. It was their first album to feature Joseph Williams on lead vocals. Former lead singer Fergie Frederiksen was fired due to problems with his ability in the studio. However, he sings backing vocals on the song "Could This Be Love". It was also the last Toto album to feature keyboardist Steve Porcaro as a permanent member, as he left after the Fahrenheit tour. The album failed to go gold until 1994, but featured two top forty singles in "I'll Be over You" (#11) and "Without Your Love" (#38). Singer Paula Abdul appears in the video for a third single, "Till The End".

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Graham Parker And The Shot
Artist Origin : UK
Release Title : Steady Nerves
Release Year : 1985
Artist Genre : Rock
File Type : mp3 192

Info:

Graham Parker moves to his third record label (following stints at Mercury and Arista), forms a backup band called the Shot (again led by guitarist Brinsley Schwarz) and continues alternately arguing with existence ("Break Them Down") and praising his romantic life ("Wake Up [Next to You]").

AIRRACE was a London AOR act that was initially assembled around ex-MORE guitarist Laurie Mansworth and for a short spell had ex-GIRL vocalist Phil Lewis as frontman. Subsequently, the band added drummer Jason Bonham, ex-WHITE SPIRIT keyboard player Toby Sadler and former MOONTIER vocalist Keith Murrell.
AIRRACE supported both DEF LEPPARD and TED NUGENT in Britain before signing to Atco records. AIRRACE released a melodic rock album in 1984 which provoked more interest due to the appearance of Jason Bonham (son of LED ZEPPELIN's John Bonham) than it did for song content. Although the album was produced by Beau Hill, noted for his contemporary work with American melodic rock acts, AIRRACE's effort fell far short of its competitors.

In 1983 they got signed to the US major label Sire and became the first Swedish band ever to sign a world wide record deal.
