"Magellan Orchestral Arrangement" cover by James Clarke

03/09/2010 Random Music Review
Song:"Magellan Orchestral Arrangement"
Band:James Clarke (PaganJamesMuzik)
Genre:New Age / Symphony / Cover


Every now and then someone arranges someone Else's work of musical magic into something that can sound even more amazing than the original. It is really pretty damn hard to top Mike Oldfield at his own game, but PaganJamesMuzik's orchestral arrangement of Magellan gives the original a real run for the money. This symphonic orchestra style music is filled with all sorts of wonder and amazement from start to end. This score washes over the listener filling them with vivid memories or dreams.

Song:"Teardrops On My Guitar"
Band:Brianna Krista Wright
Genre:Country / Soft Rock / Cover


Brianna Krista Wright has those wonderful perfect vocals for performing this style of country music. Her studio cover of "Teardrops On My Guitar" is nearly flawless in every way, from vocal performance to music backing to final production. It is baffling that we have so much amazing talent out there unknown and unheard.

"Do You Remember" cover by Connor Daniel

03/06/2010 Random Music Review
Song:"Do You Remember"
Artist:Connor Daniel
Genre:Rock / Pop


Young Connor Daniel has been singing his heart for quite some time now. He takes great pride in his Kenyan roots and always looks forward to the future with joy and optimism. In his latest music video, a cover of "Do You Remember" by Jay Sean, Connor really delivers a fantastic performance. His clean vocals are a pleasure to listen to and with some varied flange effects he really gives a superb performance. The audio production in his latest video is amazing! Everything is crystal clear with great levels and no distortion. The video itself is really cool featuring Connor singing while dancing with friends against a great looking digitally animated backdrop. All in all a very impressive song and really well worth the listen.

"Hold On" cover by Virtualmusicians

03/05/2010 Random Music Review
Song:"Hold On"
Band:Virtualmusicians
Genre:Pop / Soft Rock / Cover


Virtualmusicians is a group of guys who collaborate from all over the United States to produce fantastic covers of popular songs. In this case they've done a great cover of "Hold On" originally by Kansas. David Castagna plays the keyboards, Matt is on drums, Al Herda is the lead vocalist, and Nate does the guitar & bass as well as the audio and video production.

This is a great cover of "Hold On', the vocals are pretty good and the band is great. These guys do a fantastic job, especially since they never actually physically get together to put the whole production together! Nate's production is key and he does a superb job stitching all of the pieces together to create a fantastic, seemless video that seems like it was all done in one studio.

"After All These Years" cover by David Castagna

02/25/2010 Random Music Review
Song:"After All These Years"
Artist:David Castagna (Originally by Journey)
Genre:Easy Listening / Instrumental


David Castagna is a great musician! Whether he is playing classical, current, or original music his work is always awe inspiring and beautiful. His transcript of "After All These Years" by Journey is a fantastic example of this. All the beautiful chord changes and sweeping piano / strings melody to wash over your soul. Keep in mind he is playing this all live, nothing is recorded before the video itself.
