I can hear that. Not too close, though…

Here are my detailed thoughts on Mekong Delta’s Wanderer On The Edge Of Time, which was my nominee for this year. I’ll offer some brief comments here, too. This is a concept album that’s best consumed as a whole piece, rather than as a collection of songs. It goes through a number of...

First single from the new Black Swan album, currently expected early next year.

An amazing album. Completely eclipses the movie itself.
