Afternoons In Stereo has released his fifth album titled "Retrospective." This album is quite an odd one for the time period as it feels like a funky, 70's disco, movie theme song. This is really not something that goes with this time period but it is interesting to say the least to listen to. He has done a good job on this album though. When looking at the quality of the recording, the album has been done pretty well. There isn't really and instrumentation as this album was all computer made. Now as this is a sort of electronic offering, it has no lyrics to it either and singing is non-existent as well, but the sounds of the album do bring you back to the 70's. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Galaxina" your attention as this is the one he has pcked to be the single and it gives you an idea of the feel of the album. Afternoons In Stereo have made an album that we don't really know what to say here, but for a 70's style electro offering, it seems to be pretty good here, the songs sound like they could be in a dirty harry movie when he is chasing the bad guy. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Kidstreet - X EP

1. X (Rampue Remix)
2. X
3. Spin Twirl
4. Song
5. X (Panic Bomber's Hard And Trendy All Night Long Remix)
6. X (Jeremy Glenn Remix)

Kidstreet have released their first album titled "X EP." Their album X is one that is pretty much a single for the song X with a few remixes of the song. The album also features two more songs which go along with their 80's electro synthpop feel. The band has done a pretty decent job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly decently. As far as the instrumentation goes, this is what you would expect from a DJ, but it still has some uniqueness to it as this is more synth, Now onto the lyrics and vocals, the lyrics are pretty creative for not really having a meaning or story behind them and the female vocals have a bit of a way to them. We will however say that we really don't like the song "Spin Twirl" its pretty annoying. The combination of the lyrics and whatever they have done to the vocals on that song just don't fit with us. We suggest you listen to one of the X remixes. Kidstreet have done a pretty decent job on this album, we hope they keep it up and keep going with what they are trying but just get out there more, play more shows and get the name out. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

DUBBS - Generation Party

1. When I

2. Generation Party

3. Girls Kissing Girls

Dubbs is an electronic, dubstep band that features a bit of rapping in it along with a drummer. This is Dubbs debut album called "Generation Party." This album is quite unique because usually you don't get an actual band that does techno and then mixes rep into it like this band does. They have done a good job at it. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album could have been recorded just a bit better, but it still has a great sound to it and the instrumentation of the band is pretty decent as well. Now onto the lyrics and vocals, the lyrics aren't really of anything that meaningful but they still have that party feel to them, while the lyrics come out pretty decently as well. If you are looking for a single for this album there isn't one, so just pick a song and listen to it to get the feel of the album. Dubbs have done a great job on this album, it is innovative, it's different, and it hits a market of people that have previously not been hit before. Hopefully the  band continues on with what they are doing and we get to see a lot more from these guys. Listen to this album to decide for yourself if you like it or not. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Outerspacerz - Alcohol Of Fame

1. Alcohol Of Fame

2. Twisted

3. Paradise

4. Blackout

5. Celebration

Torornto's Outerspacerz are a fusion of techno and rock together. Their unique blending of the two genres make the "Alcohol Of Fame" EP one to listen to. Give these guys credit, they have managed to make their music catchy and appealing as well. We think this music is pretty good and we like a band that does the techno without being totally techno. Give this album a listen to.

7. Native Puppy Love

8. MoombahWow

9. Intertribal No.1

10. General Generations

A Tribe Called Red's debut album is something that has a strange sound compared to the other bands you listen to. Being as these guys are of aboriginal descent, they have added a lot of the aboriginal people's sounds and instruments into their music. This give the music a sound that is quite different then what is currently out there in the mainstream right now. Give this album a listen and give your own opinion because this is something that is hard
