This posting is meant as an overview, and randomly picked, music releases of this week ranging from Pop to Rock to metal to Electronic music. As there’s so much music being released on a daily basis alone it is impossible for us to write about them all so we are sorry if your favourite band isn’t listed here. Most likely this post will only cover a very small percentage what was released this week. But please feel free to drop by our IRC channel to inform us that your band’s new album got ripped and Pre’d by the scene. This posting is meant as a returning one every week on sunday as this day is one of the slowest days in the week with movie releases and tv releases. Not every Torrent or NZB link posted here will find you the album/single. Sorry for that.
First off is the Metal genre. This YouTube video is a crash course how to be a mega kewl metal dude or metal chick. Enjoy

Only moments ago RRR (REAL RECOGNiZE REAL) released a live show by Mariah Carey aired on BET. A tv special to promote her recently released album called MC2 = The Relativity of Mariah. Don’t expect too much of the quality. Lots of flashing studio lights with a DSR capture but if you are a big Mariah Carey fan then you probable won’t mind it. Check out the screenshots for the quality.

The Dirty Three is an instrumental rock band, formed in 1993, in Melbourne, Australia by Warren Ellis (violin), Mick Turner (electric guitar), and Jim White (drums). Their music has elements of folk melody, rock energy, and 20th century classical music. Their early albums offered many aggressive, ferociously emotional songs, but since their fourth album, Ocean Songs, Dirty Three have gradually shifted their focus towards a slower, arguably more melancholic, style of playing. aAF brings us a good Dvdrip of their concert at O-Nest venue in Shibuya (Japan).

Released days before the store date FNT brings us Punk Goes Crunk.
An album filled with all kind of punk/metal/rock groups covering rap/hip-hop songs.
I just downloaded this album as the album name left me with some question marks. Note that I didn’t google it first and listen to it first before I looked it up. If you love hip-hop and the punk/rock genre then this album will appeal to you.
Nothing really original about covering old songs and cross mixing them with another genres but this album is worthwhile to listen to.
If you want to hear some samples first before downloading it then go to the MySpace site first as it has the full tracks available in their player. Follow the Website link provided here.
So get your Bling Bling out and time to blow up some woofers in your car.

Thank you, vBm, for reminding me of this great release.
JUST released this live set/album the other day by Lenny Kravitz. It is recorded March 2008 by Canal+ in France. The quality of the Mp3 and the show given by Lenny Kravitz are excellent. It has only one downside in my eyes that it is one mp3 but JUST provided us with a Cue so we can rip it to separate tracks. There is an announcer at the beginning and ending of this rip but during the show there are no announcements so you can enjoy it to the max.
Lenny’s live set has some songs from his new album, It Is Time for a Love Revolution, as well as the old classics like “Always on the run” and “Let love rule”.

About Lenny Kravitz
There may have been other “retro” rock acts before him, but Lenny Kravitz was one of the first to not be pigeonholed to a single style as he touched upon such genres as soul, funk, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic, folk, and ballads over the years. Born in New York on May 26, 1964 (his mother was actress Roxie Roker, best-known for her role as Helen Willis on the popular TV series The Jeffersons, and his father was a TV producer), Kravitz was raised in Los Angeles, where he found himself around countless musical giants as a youngster due to his parents friendships with the likes of Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Short, and Miles Davis. Kravitz was a member of the California Boys Choir until his teenage years, when he decided to pursue rock & roll while in high school and under the heavily influence of funk rocker Prince. Kravitz’s admiration of the Purple One was so great that he at first patterned his style and approach directly after Prince and became known as “Romeo Blue” (complete with blue contact lenses), but failed to land a recording contract.

In the late ’80s, Kravitz relocated back to New York City, where one of his roommates turned out to be actress Lisa Bonet (who played the part of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show); they eventually got married. During this time, Kravitz wisely discarded his Prince-like approach and looked back to such ’60s/’70s classic rockers as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, and the Beatles for inspiration. Kravitz found a kindred spirit in engineer Henry Hirsch (who would stick by Kravitz throughout his career). With a back-to-basics approach, his style was quite refreshing in the humorously gaudy late ’80s. He inked a recording contract with Virgin Records and issued his debut release, Let Love Rule, in 1989. Kravitz’s debut proved to be a surprise hit due to the success of the title track, which became a hit single and oft-aired video. A few critics were quick to assume that Kravitz’s retro look and sound were simply a shtick to get the public’s attention, but come the ’90s, it had become integrated into the mainstream (both musically and fashion-wise), proving that Kravitz was a bit of a trendsetter. It was around this time that Kravitz penned a major hit single, not for himself but for Madonna, who went to number one with the sultry track “Justify My Love.”

What should have been a time of happiness for Kravitz quickly turned sour as he and Bonet divorced by the early ’90s. Kravitz’s heartbreak was very evident in his sophomore effort, Mama Said, which was even stronger than its predecessor, highlighted by the Led Zep-like funk rocker “Always on the Run” (a collaboration with Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash), as well as the mega hit with the Curtis Mayfield-esque soul ballad “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over,” which confirmed that Kravitz’s success was no fluke. But the best was yet to come for Kravitz. His third release overall, 1993’s Are You Gonna Go My Way, is often considered to be the finest album front to back of his entire career, and with good reason: Every single song was a winner, including the up-tempo anthemic title track, which turned out to be one of MTV’s most played videos for that year. The album was a massive hit and Kravitz became an arena headliner stateside, as well as being featured on countless magazine covers.

Despite an almost two-year gap between albums, Kravitz’s fourth release, Circus, came off sounding unfocused and was a major letdown compared to his stellar previous few releases. Perhaps sensing that he needed to stir things up musically, Kravitz dabbled with electronics and trip-hop loops for his next album, 1998’s 5. Although not a huge hit right off the bat, the album proved to have an incredibly long chart life, spawning the biggest hit of Kravitz’s career, “Fly Away,” almost a year after its original release. With the single’s success, Virgin decided to cash in on the album’s sudden rebirth by reissuing it around the same time with a pair of extra added bonus tracks, one of which became another sizeable hit single, a remake of the Guess Who’s “American Woman” (which was used in the hit 1999 comedy movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me). Kravitz’s first best-of set, the 15-track Greatest Hits, was issued as a stopgap release in 2000, while his sixh studio release overall, Lenny, was issued a year later. Baptism followed in 2004. After starting a residential, commercial, and product design company called Kravitz Design, he recorded a funky version of John Lennon’s “Cold Turkey” for Amnesty International’s 2007 benefit compilation Instant Karma. Before the end of the year it was announced that Kravitz would return in 2008 with a new album, It Is Time for a Love Revolution. The album arrived in February, accompanied by a brief tour.

In addition to his own albums, Kravitz continues to pen songs for other artists and his compositions have appeared on albums by such rock heavyweights as Aerosmith and Mick Jagger, while he produced and wrote the majority of Vanessa Paradis’ obscure self-titled 1992 release.

The artist name is a bit misleading. My first thought was Metal but it is Dark Psytrance.
I’ve listened to this release and I’m not sure what to think of it.
It is Psytrance but the artist is influenced by Drum and Bass (DnB) but I can also hear influences from Hardhouse.
The BPM is pretty high for Psytrance so you peeps who love to hear fast beats mixed with some breakbeats will most likely enjoy this.
This release contains 2 tracks by Master Pain and one Remix track of a song by Xikwri Neyrra

This show is being aired for the last 5-6 years now. The first time I heard this show it was on ID&T radio when I was still living in The Hague.
A State of Trance (ASOT) was first aired in March 2001.
It provides the Progressive/Trance listeners the latest tunes that are being released, or produced, by well know DJ’s and groups all mixed together by Armin van Buuren.
Armin started as DJ in the Nexus, Leiden, back in 1995 where he had to play long DJ sets. As he stated more than once “Don’t be a prisoner of your own style” which shows in his current, and past, work.
I just finished listening to it, which my neighbours don’t like too much, and it is another great show this week. For those of you living in Belgium, or close enough to it, on the first of May there will be a live gig of this show in Antwerp. Free admission but as with the 300th episode you need to be there early to get in there as it will be full in no time.
More info available on his website if you want to know where you need to be.
This weeks show turned up in the Pre not too long ago and was ripped by DGN but by the time I post this there will be more than one release available.
As I downloaded a different version than by DGN so I can’t provide you with the NFO link. Sorry for that.

About Armin van Buuren
Armin van Buuren pursued his career as a professional musician despite the promise of a career in law in his native country, the Netherlands, where he completed his law degree in 2004. Armin started working as a DJ in a local night club called Nexus, finished high school in 1995 and went on to university to study medicine. Meanwhile, he moved his studio equipment from his bedroom to a ‘real’ studio. The first tracks he produced in his new studio were, among others, tracks like “Touch Me” and “Communication”. Van Buuren has been quoted as saying, “Don’t be a prisoner of your own style.” He has described his musical style as “liberating, euphoric, uplifting, melodic and energetic.”
In October 2002, van Buuren was voted Number 5 in the DJ Magazine 100 top DJs. The following year, he jumped up to the #3 spot, and held 3rd place for the next 3 years. His work left him at the #2 spot, just below Paul van Dijk in the 2006 polls, and in 2007 Armin reached Number 1, heading the 2007 DJ Mag Top 100. The results of the DJ Mag Poll for 2007 are analysed in detail on HarderFaster.net, the only other website to have exclusive coverage of the awards.
