 CD reviews: "Possessed" and "Dancing in the Aisles"
On their fourth album (third available in the U.S.), "Possessed," The Klezmatics have not only dropped the clever album titles (their last album was "Jews With Horns"), but have created a work that is as ambitious as it is musically sound.
Their selection on this album is partly traditional songs, partly 1930s Yiddish big band pieces, and partly originals that fit right in with the older material in both quality and style.
Two of the leading klezmer bands are The Klezmatics and The Klezmer Conservatory Band.

 NEPENTHE
The band has also been hard at work on a new album tentatively titled Thistle, Thorn, and Ember as well as a revamped stage show to accompany what will be an exciting follow-up to their debut.
The band took time out from live performance in 1995 to record everything was beautiful and nothing hurt, an album whose title fittingly imparts the theme of its seven songs.
Prior to the album's release on the InEarVisions music label in 1997, the band released the track "The Ugly and The Brave" on the compilation CD New Brunswick Underground to critical acclaim.

 Chapter & Verse Article
Following Possessed, the band would release a live album and numerous compilations, record solo material, experience numerous line-up changes, and suffer generally from a lack of mainstream recognition, although the original line-up did reform in 2000 to record Resurrected.
Therefore, for a band infamous for lyrical crudity and musical limitation, Venom were not a band automatically expected to undertake the challenge and demands of the concept album.
This influence is acutely acknowledged by the various Venom tribute albums recorded throughout the 1990s, and especially the inclusion of the band’s vocalist\bassist Cronos on Dave Grohl’s 2004 Probot album, a homage to the ‘classic’ death\thrash metal bands of the 1980s.

 Sonny Rollins - Plus 4 - SACD -Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs
From the recording of this album forward, both he and the band began to gain praise and status, even more then the band already possessed, which was substantial.
Although the details are somewhat sketchy, it wasn’t all that uncommon for a band member to ask his or her band members to record an album with them.
Even on the CD layer, it is possible to tell just what the band meant by the music and even their moods during the recording of the songs.

 Writings From A Temporary Resident: Running On Empty
It brings with it a life of sacrifice that runs counter to everything the world is selling, but allows us to be possessed by Christ and, because of that, to cease being possessed by anything else.
I would have purchased the soundtrack if I hadn’t already had almost every song on some other album.
It is an unhappiness born of anger, an anger born of fear, and a fear born of emptiness; an emptiness than we are trying to fill with all the wrong things and in all the wrong places.

In 1993 Possessed returned to the live stage in the Bay Area, opening a few shows for Machine Head, who were just then breaking with their debut album Burn My Eyes, but I have no information on this line-up either.
Possessed took San Francisco's metal scene by storm, playing out with fellow Bay Area thrashers Exodus (it happened that the two Mikes were pretty good friends with Exodus' H-team, Rick Hunolt and Gary Holt) and other bands (many now long gone).
Combat Records signed Possessed in 1985, and the band spent the school Easter break recording the heaviest, fastest, most evil piece of metal ever to be carved into vinyl grooves - Seven Churches.

 Death metal
In fact, the project band Terrorizer's album from 1989 is clear signs that some merging of hardcore punk and thrash metal is going on, with members from Florida's Morbid Angel and the new line-up of Napalm Death co-composing.
Some important bands are Death, Possessed (band), Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse.
This band acknowledges heavy influence in its early days from early demos by the band Death (such as "Infernal Death"), and was simultaneously always part of the hardcore punk scene.

 Album Reviews on CLUAS - 'Singles' by Suede
Suede never possessed the musical abilities to transcend their initial style or to develop the lyrical themes of their earlier albums however.
But in the absence of progressive and solid albums, business will fade fast.
Suede picked up the canvas from Morrissey's more intellectual Smiths and painted in the urban wastelands of Essex and east London.

 Lenny Breau Home Page
Lenny possessed a singular blend of techniques and musical knowledge that often created the illusion of two and sometimes three musicians eminating from a single guitarist.
Lenny was a true original and during his life and beyond has touched and influenced many of the "greats" of the guitar.
The late Lenny Breau was a true jazz guitar genius who ranks alongside Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery as one of a select few inspired innovators who set new standards of creative artistry in Jazz Guitar history.

The album gets more and more interesting as it goes along and features a heaviness not possessed by many (other than Slayer on Hell Awaits) in 1985.
Possessed infuse many original ideas into their music, and are actually quite the talented band.
Many a band sprouted up in the 80s, and much of the output by up-and-coming bands in the 80s inspired the types of music we have today.

 Progressive Ears Album Reviews
Long has this band been a major draw in their homeland of England and in Europe, but many in the Western Hemisphere barely knew of the power and creativity this band possessed during their heyday.
Bandstand sadly rarely receives the glowing reviews that the previous album get, but after a few listens, the listener would be convinced to realize that Bandstand is probably the most mature work the band ever did, with the focus more on the music instead of individual glorification.
Entering 1972, the British progressive rock scene was in full swing, all of the bands that would go onto to become the heavyweights of the scene were beginning to hit their stride, but the forefathers of the Sixties scene, still had a bit of steam left in them.

 Jim Morrison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the years after the Doors' meteoric rise to fame with their self-titled debut album and its hit single "Light My Fire", Morrison's "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" lifestyle caught up with him; he eventually became a full-fledged alcoholic, and the band suffered as a result of it.
During a 1969 concert in Miami, an intoxicated Morrison was charged and ultimately convicted of indecent exposure and open profanity.
Born James Douglas Morrison in Melbourne, Florida, he was the lead singer and lyricist of the popular American rock band The Doors.

 Amazon.com: Possessed: Music
Like all their albums, the Klezmatics' work on "Possessed" ranges from staggeringly brilliant to markedly less than special, but overall, the album is excellent.
Though I was impressed by "Possessed" upon listening in a record store, it really takes a lot of listening to understand the point behind this postmodern Jewish folk.
The musicians' almost classical virtuosity turns out in the end to be less pretensious than one might expect: they improvise extensively, notably on the opening of "Hinokh Yafo" and the complexity and subtlety of the songs certainly sets this apart from earlier Klezmatics works.

 -- The Osbourne's FAQ --
The album title again was a bit eerie and the cover showed an Osbourne sitting in a chair with two girls (looking possessed) and one screaming at him.
Osbourne heard the album he asked John, "Are you sure you were just drinking alcohol?, this isn't music, this is weird." The first song began with a church bell tolling and the sound of rain falling in the background, and was eerie to say the least.
The album cover shows Ozzy sitting in a chair, or throne, with his mouth open and drooling what is supposed to be blood (but looks more like strawberry jam).

 Amazon.com: O: Music
A female voice opens the album and carries on for a few minutes before Rice comes in and screeches his vocals like a man possessed as he battles his inner demons.
The sound of the album is basically a good-looking Irish man with a guitar singing songs of extreme melancholy but with immense passion and dedication.
This is a wonderful album that's perfect at times - on the album and for your life.

 Great Albums: Electronica
Though, at the time, the duo's sounds were derivative and the album possessed an enigmatic genius that captured listeners' imaginations and spawned a legion of imitators.
The album is a caged deathmatch between speaker-damaging synthlines and rage-inducing guitar riffs.
This massive double-disc album is akin to an encyclopedia of electronic-music innovation that requires years of study to digest.

 Maestro - Ever Since
It being Maestro’s fifth album (he was formerly known as Maestro Fresh Wes), I decided to see for myself if he really possessed the skills that have kept him at the top of the Canadian hip hop scene for ten years.
After tasting this album, I wish maybe I’d given Maestro a listen before.
I’ll admit it, despite my love of hip hop, I’d never listened to a Maestro album.

 Death Leprosy by Matt Tulini
Although Possessed may officially have released the first death metal album, Leprosy is, in my opinion, the first death metal masterpiece.
On this, their second album, their sound is refined a bit, the lyrics more intelligent (but still gory), and the music remains brutal.
Since this album Death has always been a two-guitar band, and Death has morphed into a "technical death" band, complete with flashy solos, melodic chops, and even a catchy hook here and there.

 Music - Folk & Pop - Joan Baez
It was followed by a Christmas album, Noel (Oct. 1966), and Joan (Aug. 1967), albums on which she was accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Peter Schickele.
Baez is possessed of a once-in-a-lifetime soprano, which, since the late '50s, she has put in the service of folk and pop music as well as a variety of political causes.
Ring Them Bells, a live album on which Baez was joined by musical descendants like Mary-Chapin Carpenter and Indigo Girls, came out on Guardian Records in 1995.

 r_immortal_sons.html
This album is way better than Slayer, Possessed, Mayhem, and Emperor in their days of glory (which are now lost forever for those bands).
I use those bands for a comparison becasue this album is a blend of black metal and thrash, the kind you have all heard on Immortal's past 3 albums.
This album is a full onslaught of killer riff after killer riff of black metal mastery.

 THE HELIO SEQUENCE // Love and Distance
Love and Distance is bright, free, and organic—a collection of refreshingly melodious songs that stand in stark contrast to the “univibe” that Summers asserts their past compositions often possessed.
Their latest album’s strength lies not only in the soft tension created by its disparate elements—the traditional folksy twang of harmonica on “Harmonica Song”, the fresh, tropical infusions of electronica on “Looks Good (But You Looked Away)”, the passionate, precise collision of electric and organic percussion throughout—but in its natural flow.
Summers and Weikel had been used to setting up a makeshift studio at the music store they started working at in tenth grade—one room was for tracking, one for mixing.

 Decade Overview 1990s
The 'Innuendo' album released in 1991 had a prevailing sombre ambience, and each song possessed a meditative, melancholic air, particularly the final track 'The Show Must Go On', and its prophetic significance was to be cruelly realised before the year was out.
As the name suggests, the album is a collection of their more up tempo numbers, and is an indispensable introduction to some of Queen's album material for those people only familiar with the band's single releases.
Below is a brief appraisal of the band's album releases during the 1990's, which is followed by a UK singles discography for the decade.
