Stephen Hilderbrand - Silver River
An interesting mix of Kitaro..ish instrumentals with more contemporary type songs! (A couple of the tracks run into each other!)
An exotic blend of western pop melodies with ancient & modern eastern sounds. Lyrically, the band challenges the listener with thought provoking commentary on many crucial issues confronting the world.
Formerly The Loosehound Drifters, the Shropshire/Welsh six piece return with an eagerly awaited sophomore album, once again produced by former T'Pau man Ronnie Rogers and once again mining their passion for heated rhythms and drivingly atmospheric acoustic folk rock that isn't ashamed of its roots in the heady days of late 60s progressive folk espoused by the likes of Traffic and Lindisfarne.
Michael Moon - The Greatest Job In The World
content takes in most musical genres e.g. soul, country, pop, cajun/celtic, localised (in my case, liverpool) humour (check out tracks 11 and 13) and a lot of the lyrical content is drawn from my life-and-times in liverpool, and on-the-road experiences..................

Greek Bouzouki Instrumental music; brilliantly simple, yet evocative tunes to cheer you up, brighten your day, lighten your eves and surely make you feel better than before listening - or your money back. GOOD MUSIC IS THE ELIXIR OF LIFE
A base of requisite adult-contemporary styling with grandiose percussion and guitar licks provide a neat platform for bold, operatic vocals.
R2 ROCK AND REEL MAGAZINE REVIEW 2010 states THE LOOSEHOUNDS ALBUM "THEN SUDDENLY" A distinctive fusion of Roots and Rock, a disarming and ingenious collection that stands as a testament to the sheer determination of The Loosehounds to tread their own path; its one that's certainly worth following.
Chris Flegg - Through The Window
This is Chris Flegg's 2006 album with 15 original songs and one new instrumental tune crammed into one CD to give over one hour of music. The setting of the songs is deliberately simple, acoustic guitar and voice, to give the feel of live performances, with soprano sax and tenor sax on some tracks used to good efect. These songs leave you feeling good and cover varied subjects in a way that gives you reason to think about some issues from a new perspective, with some smiles along the way.
