Mark Emmins - Wired & Inspired

For new people to Mark Emmin’s work & to those already aware of him, his last release ‘Shake Your Moobies’, though admittedly a tongue in cheek fun summer song, probably would have given a false image of his music or his new direction. Never fear the Rocker is back with his new album ‘WIRED & INSPIRED’, a return to form, no scratch that, he has taken his music to a new level that will please and excite his existing and new fans alike.
12 tracks that move from best kind of classic rock, through tracks pushing new boundaries, to his forte, good move your hips rock n roll. ‘NEW AGE’, ‘ZERO FAITH’ & ‘THE LOWDOWN’ for me the standout tracks but I am not fooling you when I say each track matches their quality.

You want good music that is honest, from the heart and reflects the artist and his thoughts on life then I urge you to check out this album.

Released from June 28th on www.reputationlabel.com ,whether already a fan or new to Mark’s work you will not be disappointed...so sayeth -The Blue Clown

MASTERMATAZ – DANCE A GLOBAL PHENOMENON

MASTERMATAZ – DANCE A GLOBAL PHENOMENON - Review by RingMaster 03-07-2010 from Reputation Label

The musical adventurer is back, if already a fan you will relish the new journey MasterMataz invites you on, and if new to the Londoner’s wizardry with sound, this is definitely the entry point to start the ride.
Creating until something sounds good is not enough, nor moving it on a bit more, no, he pushes until boundaries are stretched, realigned and nudged a little more and this new album is a fine example of why and the wonderful results.
Sliding you in on a gentle sway and groove with the title track’s electronica delights, this album leads you down many roads, exploring new avenues (such as dubstep) for the first time with tracks such as ‘Don’t No The Lingo, Just Close The Window’, taking you on highs with the awesome rock burst of ‘Busted By The Law At Breakfast’ to gliding you to chill out mode with the gorgeous ‘To The Promise Land’.
Collaborations with many talented artists also bring extra dimensions to the gift of sound across the 15 tracks bulging out from this album, and though it is probably unfair to pick one out, I have to give a mention for the track ‘Living Without You’ featuring Jenni French. With a voice to bring warm tingles, the sexy groove of this slice of sound is pure magic.
Various times flavours of influences can be picked up on, I myself was taken to memories of bands like Heaven 17, Dalek I Love You, Landscape and hints of more contemparies such as Hadouken, but like spices they just added a taste to a unique new recipe of sound.
With humour, tragedy, sadness and joy within the songs you are touched beyond just your ears. This is truly a treat of a musical adventure, a pleasure for ears, body and the soul. Don’t just take my word for it go take a nibble, just one for before you realise that bite has led to a full taste and devouring of the delights MasterMataz serves up..Do it!

Do Sayeth The Blue Clown!

Electrowitch - Scream Machine

ELECTROWITCH – Scream Machine

Has it really been a year since last you were treated to sounds and music to awaken your ears and thoughts? It sure has but the wait is over and the duo that are Scream Machine are back pushing their Electro Industrial project further , taking it in new directions but as always making music to take the listener on a thought provoking and thoroughly satisfying ride.

Sindelle and Cosmo Morte bring you 12 tracks of attention grabbing gritty and creative rock, as always daring you to pigeon hole their music, adding flavours and attacks to their Electro-Industrial base and bringing to the mix energies and attitude from metal to punk to hints of rap.

From the opening gems ‘Flesh Eater’ and the relentless ‘Bury The Living’, scrambling at your brain to be let in, through every track right to the final note on ‘Electrowitch’, their music pokes, rattles cages and stands in your face until you step inside not only hear but understand and react to the myriad of provoking emotions within each layer.

The rawness of tracks such as ‘Dirty’ and ‘Auschwitz’ standing side by side with the poetry and touching sentiments of ‘Peter’, possibly one of the best ways any album anywhere has been closed, ask questions from different angles, challenges accepted views, points out the dark corrupt side of humanity and sometimes simply just has good old depraved fun.

Sindelle’s vocals as ever bring vibrancy to each slab of creative noise, an instrument in harmony and perfect contrast with the static and distortion they use as tools to better use than maybe any industrial/rock musician today. She is as the title track says ‘Electrowitch’. She entices you, beckons you in with her voice then slaps you into place, but you want to go back for more and always do.

Anyone already having had the pleasure of hearing Scream Machine’s previous albums and EP, just dive in and enjoy straight away, this brings you all you love and so much more. If you are new to these awesome artists then hold on tight the ride is the sweetest roller coaster in town and it is out NOW!!

‘Electrowitch’ an album of what Industrial Music was originally and always meant to be so sayeth The Blue Clown
