sladesounds 23rd Oct 2014		CD Album Various Artists - Mojo Presents Island Folk (2009)	This in fact was attached to the June 2009 (Issue 187) of Mojo although the outer tray scan shows May 2009 as the date.
sladesounds 17th Oct 2014		CD Album Gin Blossoms - Congratulations I'm Sorry (1996)	[YouTube Video] A good second album from this US band. Read the Stephen Thomas Erlewine AllMusic review here.
sladesounds 17th Oct 2014		CD Album Candi Staton - Candi Staton (2004)	Yes would agree with that too - her work across the board is very consistent and it's a shame she's only known outside soul circles for her few pop/charts hits rather than the earlier stuff. Another good album I have on digital media I would recommend is her release "His Hands" from 2006. Such a great voice.
sladesounds 16th Oct 2014		CD Album Candi Staton - Candi Staton (2004)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 16th Oct 2014		CD Album Candi Staton - Candi Staton (2004)	In my opinion a must have album. 5 stars from me, 5 stars from Mojo Magazine & a 5 star rating from The Guardian. The AllMusic review written by Thom Jurek can be read here.
sladesounds 16th Oct 2014		CD Album Various Artists - Blue Note Plays Stevie Wonder (2004)	Fairly lacklustre cover versions of some classic Stevie Wonder tracks. More elevator music rather than cool jazz cover versions. The All Music review written by Rob Theakston can be read here.
sladesounds 15th Oct 2014		CD Album Harry Connick, Jr. - When Harry Met Sally... Music From The Motion Picture (1989)	Gemsfan - could you provide the missing scans of this entry especially the Outer Tray scan and the Disc scan. I would be interested to know what the matrix number on your disc is. I have added another issue of this CD with the same cat# but it has an alternate barcode (and matrix #?) My copy is shown below as a linked release.
sladesounds 15th Oct 2014		CD Album Harry Connick, Jr. - When Harry Met Sally... Music From The Motion Picture (1989)	I saw this movie on the opening night in Washington DC in July 1989 and went out and bought this soundtrack CD the following morning. There is another US issue (shown as a linked release) with the same cat# but alternate bar code which I believe to have been a later issue once the movie took off both in the states and worldwide.

sladesounds 6th Sep 2014		CD Album Eels - Daisies Of The Galaxy (2000)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] The Eels were always a vehicle for a songwriter called (E), but by the point of their third album, 2000's Daisies of the Galaxy, they were his and his alone. When it came time to deliver a follow-up to the intimate, tortured Electro-Shock Blues, (E) couldn't help but deliver a lighter album, but he'd already turned so far into himself that his music was entirely insular. Of course, his music had always been fairly insular, but if Daisies of the Galaxy is any indication, he's gone so far in, he can't really come out. He's certainly not as extreme as Brian Wilson or Syd Barrett, but he's at the level of XTC or Roy Wood, making pop music for an already-established audience. Nothing on Daisies of the Galaxy will draw in casual listeners the way "Novocaine for the Soul" did, since everything is in miniature, from the yardsale production to the poetic scrawlings. Unlike its predecessor, the album doesn't play like (E)'s private diary; instead, it feels as if one is rummaging through his sketchbook. And, like many sketchbooks, some moments have blossomed, and others remain just intriguing, unformed ideas. For the dedicated, it's worth sifting through the album to find the keepers, since there are enough moments of quirky genius. But not all longtime fans will find this rewarding, since (E) has spent more time in creating mood than crafting songs. There are very few melodies that resonate like his best work, and the stripped-down, yet eccentric production -- sounding much like a cross between Jon Brion and Beck -- never feels realized. That's the problem with an offbeat, gifted musician becoming too insular; there are still clear clues of why he has his reputation, but there's not enough to justify exactly why he does. *All Music Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine*
sladesounds 4th Sep 2014		CD Album Eels - Beautiful Freak (1996)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] Eccentric and quirky are the best ways to describe the Eels' debut effort, Beautiful Freak. Concise pop tunes form the backbone of the album, yet tinges of despair and downright meanness surface just when you've been lulled into thinking this is another pop group, as titles like "My Beloved Monster," "Your Lucky Day in Hell" and "Novocaine for the Soul" indicate. All in all, Beautiful Freak is a satisfying first record. All Music Review by James Chrispell
