Music Review - Immigrant Blue (self-titled) Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 @ 13:20:00 EDT Topic: Music Reviews True, Immigrant Blue has already received some love here on MB (see Jeff Halicki's review here) but some things just bear repeating. Immigrant Blue's eight-song debut is something special and I'd hate for you to miss out on adding it to your local collection because we didn't plug it more than once. With that in mind, Mitch revisits Immigrant Blue's debut and includes a track by track analysis with samples. Band - Immigrant Blue Recorded at - Sound Stage 1 (Climax, MI.) Mastered at - Masterfonics (Nashville, TN) Produced by - Sean Mansell & Immigrant Blue Band Members - Sean Mansell (keys / vocals), Chris Frankenhauser & Rob Clark (Guitars), Jon Moody (bass), David Perry (drums).

Super Model-T: Something For Your Misery Date: Monday, September 15, 2003 @ 21:54:44 EDT Topic: Music Reviews In the past three years I’ve brought home a lot of local CD’s.

Since I’m terminally disorganized, CD’s end up all over the damn place; in the living room, in my office, in my truck and even in my wife’s car. Eventually (and thanks to her indulgence) they find their way back to my office desk in a heaping pile. Except for one, that is . . . For some reason, I couldn’t find my copy of Super Model-T’s “Something For Your Misery”. It wasn't in the CD player in the living room.

Review of Space Nelson's Evil Computer From The Future Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 @ 13:10:00 EDT Topic: Music Reviews Although the title “Evil Computer From The Future” actually refers to a strange sound Pete Hoperspberger squeezed out of his synthesizer one day (and I say ‘squeezed’ because said computer is depicted by a menacing chrome juicer on the CD cover), could it also be a reference to the "machine" that churns out formulaic fashion-pop for the music industry year after god-awful-year? Thankfully, we have Space Nelson to fight that diabolical device and boldly go where few local bands fear to tread - and where even fewer succeed. Band: Space Nelson CD: "Evil Computer From The Future" Label: Tralfaz Records Released: 2002 Recorded at: Padded Cell (Steve Szanja) and MPA Studios (Chuck Alkazian) Members:John Piasentin (guitar & vocals); ; Gary Lock (bass guitar) Eric “Fish” Fischer (drums); and Pete Hopersberger (keys & vocals).
