“Glacier Garden” by Glacier Garden (Rock Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

The self-titled release by "Glacier Garden" is a refreshing collection of modern rock songs. Radio-friendly and radio-ready is perhaps the best term that describes this excellent CD.

"Make Your Garden Grow" by Flash (Electronica Artist from New York City, New York (NY))

Flash is fantastically fashionable in the runway collection "Make Your Garden Grow". Electronic dance full of sunlight, lyrically hip, tight-fitting curves, and an earthy message combine to create a world of wearable music. If music were fashion, the designer would choose Flash for the sexy fabric! As the CD progresses, we find favorite vibes in the bongo baseline of "Look At Me" and "I Will Take You There". We are taken by this musician and his ability to capture a flowing brilliance of fabric, diamonds, and earth mist in "White" (A Tribute To Princess Diana). This CD serves as a perfect tool for refreshing relaxation.

"Ryan Engelbrecht" by Ryan Engelbrecht (Easy Listening artist from New York (NY))

"Ryan Engelbrecht" CD showcases a superb young man's talent and abilities far-reaching beyond his years. The music and production nicely back the CDs showcase - Ryan's powerful vocals. As a songwriter, this "popera" star is headed in the right direction with his Latin-inspired composition "Tu." We cannot wait to hear more of his original compositions including his current project, a full-length opera. The elegant, strong, smooth, powerfully intimate Operatic "You Raise Me Up" and "To Where You Are" are standouts on this CD. As a baritone, Engelbrecht transfers smoothly and succinctly into an impressive falsetto to send chills down the spine. If you enjoy artists such as Josh Grobin, you will enjoy this CD.
