They have reissued albums by a lot of 1950s and 1960s singers that the major companies do not care to reissue.
There are unissued bonus tracks from both the Mirrors and the Let's Love sessions, so make sure to mention your interest in those as well, should you write to the label.
All these sessions (even the "hits" included in the live album) are given the 70's treatment with electric bass and electric piano.

The unfortunate thing about this album is that there is limited replay value unless you have a genuine appreciation for vintage turntablism and breaks.
Smoke & Mirrors might have set out to remove all the trickery in the game but instead it proves there are artists still making magic with their music.
I can't imagine that anyone actually wonders why the album is called what it is. But I think a few people may have walked out of there pondering whether Kayne sleeps with the mirror in the bed beside him, or on the night stand next to him.

The Sham Mirrors is thickly layered with sweeping synth lines and chunky, harmonised guitar riffs, interspersed with softer moments of ambience and piano breaks, creating a rich, textural backdrop over which the vocals twist and turn.
Overall, this is a richly textured album of slightly leftfield progressive metal that unfortunately signals the end of Garm's time with Arcturus, having left to focus his attention on main band, Ulver (NB: the position has now been filled by Spiral Architect vocalist Øyvind Hægeland).
This album is full of shredding guitars, intricate keyboard solos, furious drums that could come from none other than hellhammer himself, and downright awesome vocals, no growls from Garm though.

 Life Mirrors
"Life Mirrors" is their full length album and it is packed with club tracks, mid-tempo soul gems, and a dash of hip hop.
Life Mirrors features appearances from crazy left coast MC / Producer Quasimoto aka Madlib (Strones Throw), The Daughters (vocalists of the Oakland-based rare groove legends the Sons and Daughters of Lite), and a host of collaborators from the West London music scene including Mark de Clive-Lowe and Jessica Lauren.
The"Life Mirrors" single with remix by Opaque and cover of the Roy Ayers/Norman Connors classic "Love From The Sun" will be released 6 weeks prior to the album.

With Fever and Mirrors being their third full-length release, a strong adaptation of Radiohead, Blur, and Suede is conveniently wrapped up in a neat, low-fi package.
Fevers and Mirrors is home to the sophomoric musical meanderings of a young songwriter who seems to take himself far too seriously.
Oberst uses imagery of mirrors and scales to weave a common thread throughout the album's tepid, rather whiny songs.

 Mirrors review by The Phantom Tollbooth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
This album is one of the reasons I still buy independent artists without knowing much about them--because of the joy that can be gained from hearing something good when you least expect it.
The album opens up with a lone lead guitar soaring and echoing as though it were played in a vast stadium.
A couple of other tracks on the album's second half bring to mind recent mellow Metallica and Alice in Chains, but without resorting to imitation.

Sandra's second album "Mirrors" was released on Virgin Records in Germany and on the Victor label in Japan - the same label that released Arabesque records earlier in Japan and re-issued them on CD later.
In fact, the line-up of musicians on "Mirrors" could easily be considered that of a HUBERT KaH album with a female front vocalist.
As Sandra was sweeping the Globe with a string of hits from her second album ("Innocent Love", "Hi Hi Hi", and "Loreen"), she remained virtually unknown in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Mountain Mirrors, which is the solo project of outstanding musician Jeff Sanders, takes all things ambient and psychedelic and adds in electronica and some pretty, yet exceptionally heavy riffage to create this album of serenity gone a little mad.
This is one of those albums that a large variety of people are going to love and it doesn't matter what kind of music you normally listen to.
The compositions are very accurate, Mountain Mirrors can build with rare abilty a psychedelic tune by carefully placing the sounds layer after layer, brick after brick until they realize a very colourful house, situated in the middle of the nature...

 CD Baby: GABRIELLE ROTH & THE MIRRORS: Refuge - from growthhouse
For her tenth album with Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors, Gabrielle has rounded up a bevy of world-class musicians including Boris (known as "Russia's Lennon" for his position as that country's top underground pop performer) for this deeply profound, moving album that gets richer with every listening.
Throughout this transcendant yet intimate recording, a delicious combination of rolling percussion, spicy ethnic instrumental accents, and dramatic pauses meld with Boris' deeply resonant chanting to express the exalted yearning of a displace culture.
All of the royalties from this album are being donated to varous Tibetan causes.

I really liked that first album I heard by them; it was basically fl metal but a little more on the adventuresome side with choirs and orchestration (yes.
However, throughout all seven tracks on THE SHAM MIRRORS there is some other element taking your attention away from the “metalness” (for example, the vocals, which are somewhat annoying).
Just when a great momentum is going--for example, the fourth track, which is speedy, epic, melodic and yet punishing enough to appeal to most metal fans--the album slows down (track five is a strange dirge that begins like a piano ballad and quickly turns gothy).

Since the 1989 release of his first album, Pillars Of Society, described in the Australian edition of “Rolling Stone”, as "the best album ever released by an Aboriginal musician and arguably the best protest album ever made in Australia", Carmody has established himself as one of the most respected singer/songwriters in the country.
Kev’s CD Mirrors – first released in 2003 – received an enthusiastic 4-star review in the New Internationalist magazine in May 2004 (see http://www.newint.org/issue367/mix.htm).
Themes of isolation in an age of mass communication, globalization and refugees, are all delivered with Kev’s eloquent lyrics in an album that Carmody describes as encompassing techno, folk, punk and grunge.

 Grey Tuesday - Free the Grey Album February 24   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Danger Mouse’s album is one of the most "respectful" and undeniably positive examples of sampling; it honors both the Beatles and Jay-Z. Yet the lawyers and bureaucrats at EMI have shown zero flexibility and not a glimmer of interest in the artistic significance of this work.
The Grey Album is only one of the thousands of legitimate and valuable efforts that have been stifled by the record industry-- not to mention the ones that were never even attempted because of the current legal climate.
Consider looking into another way to get the album, perhaps from friends or filesharing networks (zeropaid can help you find a client for pc, and we like acquisition for mac).

Now, opinions are divided when faced with this album: a lot of people give it the good rep and a lot of people want to discredit this one.
The coda blows the groove away with the best guitar solo of the entire album, a hurricane of high notes, but rarely has an Aerosmith number been as irresistible a dance song as this one is. It's official...the good outnumber the bad.
Finally, the album concludes with the snappy piano-led ballad Darkness, which shows Steven Tyler testing his range for this one, and getting a C, forcing the already stellar, ominously upbeat arrangement to somewhat work around it.

 FISH Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors review and MP3
He was recently married, and he wanted to spend more time with his new wife as he didn`t want to "sacrifice" this relationship as other relationships he had at the start of the band.
So, after some rehearsals, concerts, and the recording of new demos for a new album, he finally left the band in September 1988, in not very good terms.
For this album, he co-wrote all the songs (except "View from a Hill") with keyboard player Mickey Simmonds (who years later played with CAMEL).

Nonetheless it remains true that, if any of their previous albums were to be played on the radio (then or now), they would come off like nothing else being played.
Although many fans criticize this and unfairly call it their "disco album", it happens to be one of my favorites(from the post "Black and White" [1st three albums]period).
Mirrors was criticized for being too "poppy", but it is not pop in the sense of sell-out radio friendly music.

After the latest Yello album, Zebra, it was easy to sort them out as technoclowns, but this senslessly bold move to let the cool, almost cold voice of Stina Nordenstam blend with Boris Blanks technoballad is - if not genial - very very succsessful.

 Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors - Review @ MetalHordes.com
The Sham Mirrors, the final Arcturus album (according to Hellhammer) takes the sounds of Aspera Hiems and La Masquerade to the next level.
The Sham Mirrors actually seems more straight forward than 'La Masquerade', but this does not mean its more 'metal' than any of their other releases.
There are many different musical styles mixed together on this album, and while many bands try to do this, no ones seems to make it flow together as nicely as Arcturus.

 Transcending the Mundane: Review of 'The Sham Mirrors' by Arcturus
One of the first things about this album I noticed was the fact that the liner notes described Trickster G. Rex (aka Wolf, Garm, etc.) as the “Voice of Ghosts and Monkeys” instead of simply describing him as “vocalist.” I thought that was idiotic until I heard certain parts of the album.
The thing that makes this album so great is the fact that it completely defies and ignores all the genres every other band gets lumped in.
This has not only dethroned Blind Guardian as my album of the year 2002, it has also radically changed the way I perceive what "metal," and music in general, can sound like.

It'd be ridiculous to call the Cult's eighth album a major disappointment.
Neither of which is found on Mirrors, an LP that foolishly advances the sharp but sterile production values of Spectres.
What Blue Öyster Cult obviously had in mind was to make a nice album, and given songs as cheery as "You're Not the One (I Was Looking For)," "In Thee" and "Dr. Music," I guess you can say they've succeeded.

Which is the length of his sophomore studio album with the band Bright Eyes, Fevers and Mirrors (2000).
Guitars are never sophisticated, and the whole thing is wrapped up in a very teenage package – songs about love not found, songs about sex that doesn’t satisfy because the love that has been found is unrequited, maybe a little bit of suicide for good measure.
A spindle, a darkness, a mirror and a necklase and Something vague in particular are impossible to not be moved by, as is the “coming to terms with my f*ck-up” closer A song to pass the time.

 Head Heritage | Unsung | Album of the Month | Mirrors
MIRRORS opens with “How Could I?” - a “Who Loves the Sun?” with 3rd Velvets album stylings and backing vocals, Doug Yule bass, Mo drumming, that spindly/melodic electric geetar and an “I’ll be your Mirror” gentility.
Paul Marotta was playing in both Mirrors and the Eels… We did our usual excruciatingly loud set, Rockets did their comedy routine and cut holes in each other's clothes, and the Eels (gas-powered lawn mowers, chain saws, meat cleavers, blow torches) exterminated one and all.
It’s meant that the Rocket From The Tombs album was a sink clogger of unplayable dimensions, a super-concentrated everything’s-as-good-as-everything-else Spanish galleon of under-editing.

Far be it from me to criticize the efforts of those my age based solely on our greenness, but as my grandmother would say, Oberst's eyes are a lot bigger than his stomach.
So much of what passes for emotional and intellectual depth on this album is blatantly contrived nonsense.
It's a record that can be enjoyable in select places and definitely shows signs of potential, yet falls victim to mediocrity when held against the work of truly developed musicians.

Bandwidth requirements for a mirror are currently hard to judge -- we're just getting started setting up mirrors and our client software is not fully ready to take advantage of our mirrors yet.
A mirror server would surely use less bandwidth, so this should give you an idea of a reasonable upper bound.

Though it didn't garner as much commercial success as did the follow-up Permanent Vacation, this album is in many ways truer to the heart of what Aerosmith was in their 1970s heyday.
The two best tracks on the album, though, show Aerosmith heading back to their roots: the swampy rock of "She's On Fire" and the jive-to drive of "Darkness", both of which have the raw, bluesy base of the band's best material.
