Louis Sarno ~ Song from the Forest

Listening to Song from the Forest, many older readers will think of the famous French duo Deep Forest.  The duo helped increase interest in world music in the early nineties, but they also did the genre a slight disservice, creating an unfair

Twink ~ Critter Club

Twink’s Critter Club (no relation to the Simon & Schuster series) is an odd trio of animals whose costumes are visible on the cover and whose identities are revealed on three tarot-style cards within.  Twink himself (Mike Langlie) is a playful individual

Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche ~ Zubberdust!

BOOM!  And we’re in it.  One second in, and the album is already rocking at full throttle, cranking out the metal riffs typically reserved for the end of longer tracks.  And it just keeps getting better from there.  Already, the
