I receive many albums via snail mail and I don’t get a chance to write about them like I should. One of the albums that I was sent recently that made an impact on me was “Made in Iceland 3″, the third in a compilation series featuring a diverse group of Icelandic acts. There are acts that range from orchestral and experimental to pop, folk and electro. In this compilation there should be something for everyone.
Some highlights of the album for me are the epic pop of Jonsi on “Boy Lilikoi”, the enticing synth pop of Berndsen on “Supertime” and the cute girl/boy vocal interplay on Feldberg’s “Dreamin’”.
Berndsen – Supertime
Feldberg – Dreamin’
Jonsi – Boy Lilikoi

Wesley the Robot Giving a Fall Concert Preview!
Maybe it’s just that I’m becoming more attuned to what’s happening in the central New York area, or maybe it’s just that concerts in the area are getting better, more affordable, closer etc. Either way, there are some prime opportunities coming up in the next few months for concert goers to see some good bands who have just put out some great albums this summer and fall and I wanted to take the time to share them with you. Venture further to see some videos and download some MP3s. (more…)
