Review of the Yes CD 90125

Filed under: Uncategorized — allowhiatus @ 10:20 pm

I can report the latest loosing from Rock super aggregation Yes to you with just undivided word… Celebrated!

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.

90125 has a pleasantly varied, mix of 15 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Overall 90125 is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3 - It Can Happen, track 8 - City Of Love, and track 15 - Leave It

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Owner Of A Lonely Heart. This is a great track!

Lego - Best in the line of Construction Toys!

Filed under: Uncategorized — allowhiatus @ 6:21 pm

Lego toys are united of the world’s most preferred building and construction toys. They originated in Billund, Denmark in the year 1932. The Lego pieces were designed out of ‘wooden building blocks’ by a carpenter called, Ole Christiansen. At that time, most of the dealers didn’t credit a plastic toy, resulting in insufficient sales. In the year 1954, the function actually picked up. The ‘modern day Lego’ bricks which came with an ‘interlocking stud mechanism’ were finalized in 1958, and these pieces unbelievably are dig date compatible with the Lego pieces of today.

Lego toy bricks ad pieces have been designed to be an element of a collective system of parts where freedom of expression, creative thought and variation can join together to produce fabulous contraptions. Toys like these were an enormous improvement over the usual toys that are being produced today, which muffled individual thought with specific movements and designs. With the Lego toys, you could always and still can create whatever you want. Lego has developed from the splendidly simple and creative blocks to Axles, Cogs, joints and several electronic components that assist in the radio controlled movement.

The Lego brand is very widespread, having crossed over into every well known genre, both TV and film. SpongeBob Squarepants, Harry Potter, Star Wars and Indiana Jones are all a part of the famous Lego Toy sets that the Lego focus groups determine to target. This entire process takes an upwards of six months to get done. The cycle goes as follows: Identifying the ongoing trends of the market, carrying out the designing and development part, and then creating a model Lego toy for the purpose of testing. These days, all of the Lego toy sets are crafted on the computer with CAD, becoming a much easier task for the designers to contribute to their creative effort.

Lego toys are the modern encapsulation of advanced thinking design. A derivative of Lego, known as the ‘Mindstorms range’ comprises of a ‘Bluetooth Lego piece’ that enables you to keep control over your creation wirelessly by using your mobile phone. Many of the Robotic companies all over the world host Lego robotic tournaments every year, letting the winning design join the higher ranks of the ‘robotic soccer team’! Lego has even eminently pronged out into the videogames world. The well known Lego play sets which were stimulated by TV or film like Star Wars, Batman and Bionicles are now made available in the form of full-on digital adventures, seamlessly suitable for each and every age group.

Review of the Lyle Lovett CD titled Lyle Lovett

Filed under: Uncategorized — allowhiatus @ 1:10 am

Lyle Lovett is the latest release from Country Star Lyle Lovett, and I can only contemplate of one word to describe this CD… AWESOME!

This CD will grab your attention right out of the gate with Cowboy Man and won’t let go until the very last note of the very last song Closing Time, which is another great track by the way.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Lyle Lovett is clearly in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Country music you’ll enjoy this album.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - Farther Down The Line, track 6 - If I Were The Man You Wanted, and track 10 - Closing Time
