Over the clatter of piano and strum of an electric guitar that opens his fourth studio album, Josh Ritter leaps into rapid-fire lyrics that reference Joan of Arc, Calamity Jane and Florence Nightingale, all of whom seem to be struck together in the belly of a whale. As the follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed album The Animal Years, The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter is his most adventurous, fresh, and freewheeling work to date. less info

Vangelis is one of the most famed composers of film music, and with 1492 he adds another superior soundtrack to a discography that includes such classics as CHARIOTS OF FIRE and BLADE RUNNER. The soundtrack to a film that recounts Christopher Columbus's journey and discovery of America, 1492 has all the grandeur and scope one would associate with the film's topic. As per usual, Vangelis employs various electric and acoustic elements, including synthesizer, live orchestra, and a choir.The resu less info

* Fire On Fire used to be the art-punk-prog-chaos collective Cerberus Shoal, but they ditched their electric instruments, went into hiding for a while, and now play acoustic-stand-up bass, mandolin, banjo, harmonium, accordion, acoustic guitar, dobro, etc.-and all sing and harmonize on the songs.* Live, they do it "old school" and just use two mics placed in front of them on the stage, like a bluegrass band.* Signed to Michael Gira's (Swans, Angels Of Light) Young God label* "B... less info

Believe it or not the second MMJ record, At Dawn, is as good as their first, the critically acclaimed The Tennessee Fire. Jim's soulful voice and lonely country-rock songs are more intoxicating than ever here. My Morning Jacket songwriter Jim James, has a voice that's both honey and charcoal, like Neil Young at his most vulnerable.The songs are great Deep South gothic canvases filled in with gracious acoustic and electric guitars, painterly strokes of harpsichord, harmonica and lap steel, dru less info

Exmortis: Balmore (vocals, electric guitar); Daniel (bass guitar). Recording information: 2007-2008Love Juice Labs. Some listeners prefer their death metal leavened with classic power guitar chops. On IN HATRED'S FLAME, Los Angeles axe-wielders Exmortus possess the speed and fire of classic death metal, but evince the kind of guitar heroics more common to shredders like Yngwie Malmsteen. Songs like "Axes of War" and "Glory on the Battle Field" deliver on the promise implic... less info

It should be noted that the rhythm section here is nothing less than startling. McBride is equally at home on an electric bass, and his sense of fire, funkiness, and dynamic range is in every note. Colaiuta is simply one of the most talented and exciting drummers out there, and creates an art form of dressing his timekeeping in impeccable and imaginative ways. Corea's tunes are closer to something resembling mainstream jazz -- though the gorgeous and lengthy (it clocks in at over 27 minutes) ... less info

After 13 years, five prior albums, and a countless number of shows, Electric Six is still going strong. Tyler Spencer (aka Dick Valentine) still has his growl, his falsetto, and his sense of humor intact, as he spouts absurd lines from his tour bus diaries, noting: "There's no such thing as an electric tuba/the Detroit River's not a good place to scuba," "Except for GBV and Devo/Nothing seems to redeem Ohio," and "Still got something to put in ya/But we'll have to go ... less info
