"Relatively Gone" by Kent Welton (Jazz artist from California (CA))

"Relatively Gone" by Kent Welton is a pacifying collection of jazz instrumentals. Soothing and graceful best describe these free-flowing compositions. "Sky Waltz" stands out for its beautiful guitar-tone lead and cohesive drum arrangement. "Orbiting Pluto" steers away from the generally organic atmosphere and assumes a more electric, transcendental sound. All in all, Kent consistently delivers great mind-easing jazz and easy-listening songs with "Relatively Gone."

"Been To The River" by J R Roberts (Spiritual/Blues artist from Gainesville/Jacksonville, Florida (FL))

"Been To The River" by J R Roberts is a unique cross between traditional blues and today's contemporary Christian music. The musicianship, songwriting, and recording quality of this CD is very impressive. Opening with the blues-groove "You Are King," listeners are immediately introduced to J R's soulful and powerful vocals. It is clear that J R has quite a keenness for crafting memorable songs. Lyrically, these tunes are perfect for the congregational worship setting. J R showcases his unrefined country blues side with the very intimate title-track, "Been To The River." Moreover, "Jesus Be The Lord Of My Life" ventures into the adult-contemporary genre and demonstrates J R's vocal and musical versatility. All in all, this CD flaunts a wide appeal to fans of gospel, blues, jazz, and adult-contemporary and is well worth a listen.

"Comet" by Masuretti (Electronica artist from Los Angeles, California (CA))

"Comet" by the exceptionally creative Masuretti is an out-of-this-world electronic/ambient collection. Entering a musical territory of his own creation, Masuretti stumbles into a very dreamy collection that is quite memorable. "Recurring Dream" is very hypnotic in nature, and has the tendency to get stuck in your head. The title-track is another stand-out track, surrounding itself in a very extraterrestrial musical atmosphere and demonstrating Masuretti's meaningful lyrics. One thing is quite clear from this collection: Masuretti stretches the boundaries of musical tradition, combining unlikely elements (such as tribal percussion) to produce a very likeable album.

"As I Am" by Alicia Keys (R&B/Pop artist from New York (NY))

Gracing the music world with her first release in four years, Alicia Key's latest, "As I Am," delivers an overdose of genuine soul. Backed by very organic musical compositions, Keys shines vocally more in this album than perhaps any other. The very inspirational ballad dubbed "Superwoman" delivers a very loud-and-proud message to all the hard-working, independent women out there. Other stand-out tracks include the stripped-down and sincere "Lesson Learned," the slightly retro "Wreckless Love," and the groovy beat-driven "I Need You."

"Creation" by Maximilian (Ambient/New-Age composer from England)

"Creation" by the musically avid Maximilian is an emotion-provoking assembly of ambient/new-age compositions. Very theatrical and eventful in nature, much of Maximilian's compositions seem fit for use on the big-screen. "Legasy" stands out as especially transcendental and dramatic. "Journey Through a Night of Peace" is the most light-hearted track on this CD, steering away from the overall somber mood. Through this album, Maximilian mixes orchestral string arrangements, compelling vocal tones, and brilliant piano work to create very vivid emotional expressions.

"No Trespassing" by Andrew Roussak (Progressive Rock artist from Germany)

"No Trespassing" by Andrew Roussak is a very pleasing progressive rock compilation. Superb instrumentation is one of the most noteworthy aspects of this CD. The instrumental and vocal performances are filled with fever, passion and emotion. "Lost In the Woods" flaunts a razor sharp rock edge and demonstrates this CD's robust vocals. "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" stands out among the more solemn tracks on this CD, serving up some great piano, organ, flute and string arrangements. Intriguingly, many of these songs are multi-faceted in nature, constantly morphing into varying emotional expressions. Furthermore, the production of "No Trespassing" utilizes small elements and sounds that really give these compositions a life of their own.
