After 10 years of forward-thinking musical fusion, Boozoo Bajou return with their most seductive and sophisticated album yet, ‘Grains’. The producers Florian Seyberth and Peter Heider are already widely respected around the globe for their unique blend of modern electronica with blues, jazz, soul, latin and dub elements.

“In the end, it’s about taking the listener on a ride,” says Jason. “That speechless, awestruck thrill ride that you go on when a piece of music seems to hone in on that point in your chest and just plays right into it—you know, when you feel connected to it. When it speaks to you. That’s when it’s most fun, for us and for the listener.”

Forming less then three years ago, The Fire and Reason features Brazil’s Bella Saona and Ecuador’s Steve Narvaez who joined forces to create some of the dirtiest rock, baille-funk-electro-pop dance music blasting out of New York City.

All signs point to a major take-off in progress for the suburban Washington, DC-based group, comprised of David Cook (vocals, piano, guitar), Will Cook (bass), Bobby Morgenthaler (drums), Pat Jenkins (guitar, vocals), as several tracks from their album make noise, attracting fans to My Favorite Highway’s outposts on the web…

HYDE is offering his first greatest hits self-titled album for digital download from iTunes and other online music stores. The album features 17 songs from his previous 3 albums and 7 singles including the hits HELLO, COUNTDOWN, and SEASON’S CALL and an English version of GLAMOROUS SKY (theme song for the film “Nana”).

A recent album preview by Mark Shemel of internedj.com indicated that the album was: “organic with live sounds pervasive throughout the album. There is also a sort of Hip Hop element infused in certain songs such as “Sine Language.”
