Jade Redd's debut CD, "Rivers of Stone" is now on my desert island list. If you put October Project together with Vienna Teng and add a dash of Capercaillie, you'd end up with Jade Reed: Thoughtful, evocative lyrics and a lush, lovely vocalist: Madalena. I ran out of stars while rating the songs on "Rivers of Stone." Madalena has her own sound, her own style, but if you like Mary Fahl, Marina Belica, Karen Matheson and Vienna Teng, then "Rivers of Stone" is a must. This is the CD to buy if you want to be transported into another place, another state of mind. Shauna Burns' "Every Thought," which is available on her website, www.shaunaburns.com, is another brilliant debut: delicate, lush instrumentals combined with haunting and emotional lyrics. Shauna Burns' songs are the kind that can stand alone without the vocals, or you could just read the lyrics as great poetry -- but put the two together and you have high-Ecto. Get this CD if you want to have your soul touched. It's been about three years since Terami Hirsch's (www.terami.com) last CD, "To the Bone," but her music just keeps getting better and better: "Entropy 29," which came out in 2005, is in a class of its own. Dreamy pop melodies with a touch of electronica, and edgy lyrics (one of Terami Hirsch's trademarks) are part of every song on this stellar CD, which fully engages your brain. It's always helpful to be able to compare a musician to somebody else, at least to give a frame of reference. But there are no close comparisons to singer-songwriter, Terami Hirsch: She does her own stuff, and oh so fantastically well. This is the CD to buy if you've been bugged lately by the eternal question, "why?" Beth Patterson's (www.littlebluemen.com/beth.asp) 2005 release, "Caught in the Act," like her previous CDs, combines Celtic, Cajun and pop music with great flair. Many, though certainly not all, of Beth Patterson's songs are about love and loss, but the way she sings makes you feel good about feeling bad -- Beth Patterson's songs are high energy. "Caught in the Act" is a live album, but these songs were recorded just for this CD -- you won't hear them on any of Beth Patterson's other discs. If you've ever wondered what a bouzouki sounds like when it's played by a master, you'll find out on "Caught in the Act," which you should get if you're interested in hearing spirited music that has a story to tell. - --Bill Adler ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2005 08:31:53 +1100 From: andrew fries Subject: Re: My Top of 2005 On Monday 26 December 2005 03:04, Bill Adler wrote: > Jade Redd, www.jaderedd.com.

That description sounded good to me so I went to their website, only to find another despicable flash-only site. What's worse, it wouldn't work for me even though I do have flash installed - presumably they are using the latest Flash 8, which doesn't as yet have Linux version. However all is not lost - they are available from CDBaby so you can hear a fair-sized sample of their music there. Which I am about to do. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V11 #353 ***************************
